Episode #198 Tips to prevent foot & toe injuries in running

During this episode I talk about toe and foot injuries in running. While extremely common it’s often accepted by many that these injuries are a right of passage to running.

If not managed appropriately they can ruin a training program, race goal and even force runners to pull out of a race.

From blisters, to stress fractures, to the dreaded black toenail we cover it all in this episode!

Episode #193 A guide to a prosperous 2026

I spent this past morning thinking about 2025 and how to move through 2026. From it I have a bunch or questions and reflections I performed which I found very helpful.

In today’s episode I discuss them in 5 sections: the zoomer-outer, the gooder, the less than idealer, the limiter & the futurer.

I think adding the “er” to everything makes them legit. Grab a coffer along with a pen & paper or your phone and follow along.

Hopefully this sets you up for a great year!
