On this long overdue podcast episode, Mango and I discuss our final three races of 2009 as well as our first race of 2010, the Hangover Classic 10K in Salisbury, MA. To round out 2009 we both did a Turkey trot. I was lucky enough to meet Team Hoyt at the Gobble Gobble 10K in Southbridge, MA. Then Justin and I met up with some friends in Northampton, MA for the Mayor Higgins Hot Chocolate Run.
It was a great end to the 2009 season.

Justin AND I were both lucky enough to start off 2010 with 10K PRs in Salisbury. In this episode we also discuss our running and training goals for 2010.

After our respective New Year’s Day 10K PRs - how did we celebrate? By jumping in the Atlantic Ocean of course. Video below shows our SECOND dip in the frigid waves:

***UPDATE - In this episode recorded earlier this week, we discuss our upcoming Hyannis Marathon plans. In the brief period of time between when this was recorded and when we posted, the Hyannis Marathon filled up and registration was closed. So, Justin and I are now both signed up (PAID AND REGISTERED) for the Half at the Hampton Half Marathon instead. It’s amazing to me how quickly races are filling up now. First lesson of 2010, register early.***

This episode we discuss RunFasterDaddy’s marathon experience and the lessons he learned. Mango talks about his first ever ultra-marathon, the Stone Cat 50 miler. We talk about training plans, the comfort they provide, and the changes we are making. I am adding more mileage and more distance on long runs, and Mango is returning to the Tom Holland method so that he can take advantage of the cross-training days and focus on triathlons more next season. Lastly we discuss some of the great runners we are meeting. Last week we had a tweetup with John from the Run New England podcast. Check out his video and see our ugly mugs around 5:48. Also, we discuss the great listener feedback we’ve received about the different types of podcasts that we’ve put out. Our decision, we going to continue to do both. Those of you liking the Medical Geek format, rest assured, we’re going to keep them coming.

Here’s a mini episode for your enjoyment. Ever wonder why athletes warm up before an event? Why is it hard for triathletes to transition from the bike to the run? This week we look at the actual physiology behind these phenomena. What’s happening at the cellular level?

We hope you enjoy this type of episode. Let us know what you think. We have others like it in the vault.

First off we want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped our podcast get off the ground. We started our podcast a little less than one month ago and as of this morning we’ve had 867 website visits and 219 podcast downloads. Not too shabby. I’m amazed by the power of word of mouth. So again, THANK YOU everyone. We’ve gotten some great feedback, so very nice comments, and great support from people in the twittersphere.

Two weeks ago we announced our Born to Run book contest. We had 40 entries.

So, without further adieu, our winner is Megan Storm (aka - the veganrunningmom). Congrats!

Stay tuned. Our 3rd episode will be out in a few days and then we are introducing something new this month. (That’s a teaser - hint hint).
