  • 100th podium

    100 PODIUMS.

    Since June 2021 — and it still doesn’t feel real.

    Back in June ’21, I started listening to The Running Public podcast. That’s when things changed. The training plan, the mindset, the fire they preach — it all clicked. I started seeing real growth, not just in my running, but in who I was becoming.

    What began as a goal to push my limits turned into something way bigger.

    Every race, every setback, every “let’s go” moment — they built the athlete standing here now.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Training Tuesday: Kirk’s Q&A Session
Q: How should a runner approach balancing gym strength work with running, especially when aiming for endurance events?
Acknowledge that you can't maximize both equally; consider a focused strength block that reduces running load temporarily, builds foundation, and then gradually reincorporates run work. This phased approach helps maintain overall performance while rebuilding strength.
Training Tuesday: Kirk’s Q&A Session
Q: What should someone do if after a break they want to return to training without getting injured?
Scale back immediately on mileage and frequency of hard sessions, ramp up gradually over several weeks, and insert a down week if needed. Listen to your body signals (yellow lights) and avoid returning to previous high volumes too quickly to prevent re-injury.
Training Tuesday: Kirk’s Q&A Session
Q: Do you think there comes a point where even a successful training program needs to evolve or refresh in order to continue improving? Or is it more likely that I simply need to accept a potential ceiling as I age?
There is a real possibility that aging athletes reach a performance ceiling, but the smarter move is to adjust stimulus rather than abandon progress. Introduce targeted speed work or overspeed blocks, reassess cadence and recovery, and consider shifting the balance between run volume and quality to preserve gains while protecting the body.
Episode 594: Take2Trail (Jes Parker)
Q: What is Take Two Trail and what problem does it aim to solve?
Take Two Trail buys and resells gently used or shelf-pulled trail gear to keep items out of landfills, reduce waste, and make high-quality gear more affordable for runners.
Episode 592: Wrapping Up the Listener Questions
Q: What are the best training shoes for icy conditions?
The VJ Ace shoes with carbide studs are highly recommended for running on icy trails.
