In the second half, I give some continuing information on strength training, and much of it you can do at home, no weights needed! I'm not going to bombard you with Coronavirus episodes, there are enough of those out there and to be honest, when it's all over, you won't want to hear them again, so I'm trying to go light on them, giving enough information as needed, but not going overboard. For all information and to get in touch with me, the website is www.martharunstheworld.com and me email is martharunstheworld@gmail.com 

Send us a text#63 - If you've been listening to running podcast for any amount of time, you know about this podcast. Eric was on the forefront of running podcasts. Long before most of us were doing, he was publishing his superb program. I consider URP to be one of the best. He works hard to make it that way and it shows. Even if you aren't an ultrarunner or even a trail runner, you should listen to it because the stories are human stories, and we can all relate to the energy of the human spirit. For all contact information, please go to our website www.martharunstheworld.com to contact me with comments questions or any future show suggestions, please email me at martharunstheworld@gmail.comSupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#59 - In this week's episode, I give two great race reviews as well as talk about Coastal Trail Runs annual awards lunch. I feel it's important to support local races and race companies. Local races support our communities and sometimes it's their biggest annual fundraiser. Also, trail race companies who give back to their most supportive runners are not only showing their appreciation but can lift the spirits of those who may never cross the finish line first. For all information from today's episode, please visit the website at www.martharunstheworld.com for any comments or future episode suggestions, please email me at martharunstheworld@gmail.com
