Today’s guest is another one of those folks who I’ve been connected with on social media for quite some time and are just now making a chat happen.
Maybe it has taken this long to happen because he is just too fast for me to keep up with!
I am looking forward to trying to keep up with Jim Gregory today.

Today’s guest is an endurance athlete with some notable highlights including cycling around the USA and competing in the USATF 50-mile trail championships twice!
He is also the co-founder of a company that has the potential to revolutionize the running shoe industry and co-author of a book that could change the way you think about track workouts.
There will be no shortage of topics today as I try to keep up with John Zilly for a few easy miles.

Jen St Jean has returned to the track after a long lay off with the goal of running her best times ever.
Jen St Jean
After college, she was running on an Olympic Development team but for a number of reasons she felt that it was time to walk away from the competitive running scene. She left the track, got a corporate job, started a family, but running was always her release.
Eventually, however, Jen found her way back to the track. Now she’s competing on the masters circuit, and is taking on some of the best masters runners in the world.

Laurie Wisotsky got her start in running after watching Katie Holmes run the New York City marathon. She figured if Katie could do it, so could she.
After running several marathon races over the course of a handful of years, and dealing with a series of injuries and recoveries, she’s decided to settle into running shorter distances and competing in Master’s races and events.

Her decision to stop running marathons and focusing on shorter distances wasn’t one that came easily, but after a year and a half of short distance running she concedes that the switch was the best thing she’s done for herself in terms of running.
We talked a lot about her transition from long distance to short distance racing, the roll her team of coach and physical therapist played in the decision, the rise in popularity of masters track events, and a whole lot more. Here are some of the highlights of our conversation: Read more
It’s that time of year again.
It’s the time of year that many runners (especially down south where summer is pretty much here) really start to turn there attention away from distance training and start to focus more on speed and training for the 5k.
While I can honestly say I won’t be running any 5ks this summer, I will probably join my running friends for workouts as often as possible, which means I’ll be running my least favorite workout before much longer…
I Love Wayne. I Hate 1/4 Mile.
