  • I always come back

    I started listening to TJM at the start, when Scotty introduced it to me at IT100 at the beginning.

    I like to listen to a lot of podcasts, about running, coaching, history, politics, news, archeology, science, Ireland, with authors, musicians, journalists, and more. It becomes overwhelming and I end up dumping them all. TJM is the first one I come back to and I’ve listened to every episode, except episode 2. I enjoy the Meet the Nation hearing of everyday listeners like me, really like some of ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gang Show 261 - Meet the Badger Trail Races People
Q: What distance are you running at the Badger and why?
Various guests explain their reasons, often citing personal challenge, tradition, or training goals; many are drawn to the longer distances like 100 miles as a test of endurance and personal growth.
From Setback to the Start Line 7 - Sara Davidson and her success following root repair surgeries
Q: What are your current goals and how do you balance risk with passion for ultrarunning?
Current goals focus on finishing races within what the body can tolerate, with an emphasis on smart pacing, rehab, strength work, and willingness to adjust or pivot to other disciplines if needed; long-distance endurance remains possible, but not at the pre-injury intensity.
From Setback to the Start Line 7 - Sara Davidson and her success following root repair surgeries
Q: When did you start running again after each surgery and how did you progress?
The first return-to-run began around 12 weeks with very gradual intervals and walk breaks, expanding slowly due to quad strength and fear; the second return allowed running earlier in some phases but emphasized strength and controlled progression to avoid setbacks.
From Setback to the Start Line 7 - Sara Davidson and her success following root repair surgeries
Q: What did the recovery path look like for your first vs. second surgery?
The first surgery involved six weeks non-weight bearing with a slower ramp-up and gradual PT progression; the second was more conservative in terms of weight-bearing but relied on a more advanced, strength-focused PT protocol to regain quad strength and functional mobility.
From Setback to the Start Line 7 - Sara Davidson and her success following root repair surgeries
Q: How did you discover you had a root tear and what led you to surgery?
I felt a pop during a training run that led to significant pain, followed by MRI confirmation and the surgeon recommending root repair after seeing the extent of the tear and associated fractures; the decision was reinforced by the possibility of preserving running capacity.
