Jake says, based on the time of year, it could well be worth investing in some light trail shoes that can help provide a little bit more grip, and give you more confidence when running off-road.

117: The Tapering Special

runningwithjake — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 00:02:00 +0000

On today’s show, with so many runners on the verge of spring races, we talk all things tapering!

Here are some of the takeaways from the episode...

👉🏽 Tapering is a systematic and progressive reduction in training load. In simple terms, it means back off on your training so you’re not knackered when you get to the starting line!

👉🏽 The longer the race, the longer the taper period should be. As a guide…

5/10K = 7 - 10 days
Half marathon = 10 - 14days
Marathon = 3 weeks

👉🏽 It is important to still keep some intensity in training to avoid losing fitness

👉🏽 If you’ve had some setbacks in training, and your aim is now to complete the race (rather than race the race), you may need to keep training up to the event rather than taper.

👉🏽 Choose three times for your race, not one:

Dream time - if everything goes to plan, conditions are perfect, and you feel amazing on the day
Real time - based on how training has gone, the conditions on the day, and how you feel
Fair time - if it isn’t your day, this is the time you will target without beating yourself up

👉🏽 Monitor how you feel throughout the tapering period, and how the race goes, and then you can fine tune your approach for the next race

👉🏽 When tapering begin to make adjustments that will benefit you in the race eg if possible, do your training runs at the same time the race starts

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Anna Harding from The Running Channel. Back from a busy few days filming with team in the Scottish Mountains, Anna was happy to kick back, chill out, and talk all things running!

After a recent stint on the injury bench due to a calf tear, Anna is now well and truly on the comeback trail and has a lofty goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon in her sights (sub 3hrs 30mins).

Anna runs to challenge herself, look after her mental health, and she loves the adventure of preparing for ambitious goals. You can see her latest video for The Running Channel about the Boston Marathon by [CLICKING HERE]

runningwithjake — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 01:00:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Mike's the show's favourite running coach (except for Jake, of course), and he's agreed to come back to share more of his awesome knowledge; this time round is centred on training for marathons. If you missed Mike's previous appearance on the PLODcast, you neeeeeed to check out Episode 61

077: Timepiece transactions, pacy pandas, and a matter of seconds!

runningwithjake — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 01:00:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Kate Carter - lifestyle editor for the Guardian, a presenter on The Running Channel, AND holder of the World Record for…. wait for it….. 'Fastest female marathon runner in an animal costume’!

As impressive as this feat is, Kate has had her fair share of disappointments and setbacks. Namely missing out on a sub 3hr marathon by a matter of seconds, and although that race resulted in her being effectively ‘carried across the line’, it did result in a huge PB, and she has since achieved her sub 3 badge.

runningwithjake — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 01:01:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today, we chat with one of the most inspirational ladies on the planet - Fiona Oakes - holder of not one but FOUR world records, including ‘Fastest female to run a marathon each continent and North Pole’.

One of the many reasons that make Fiona so remarkable is her sheer grit and determination to use her running achievements as a platform to create awareness of veganism. When she isn’t pounding the tarmac and banking the miles, she spends her time looking after over 600 animals at Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 075 (Scottish adventures, secret marathons, and space cakes!)

runningwithjake — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 01:00:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Carla Molinaro - Ultra runner, a 'yoga for runners' instructor, AND the world record holder of LEJOG - a little plod from Land's End to John O’Groats!

Carla most recent achievement was winning Ultra X Scotland - 125km across 2 days circumnavigating the very beautiful Loch Ness.

She’s certainly had her fair share of disappointments too… such as the time she spent more time than she would have liked in a bush, only then to be consoled by a fellow competitor who offered her the most well known (and scientifically proven) race fuel - a chocolate brownie stuffed with weed.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 074 (House hunting, talent spotting, and assistant accents)

runningwithjake — Wed, 26 May 2021 01:00:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Chris Hollinshead - a successful senior and masters runner, a running coach at Castle Coaching Fitness, a tutor for UK Athletics, AND he’s part of the Paralympic athlete talent identification programme.

Chris hasn’t raced since 2019 (something many of us can relate to given the pandemic) and as much as he is eager to get back, he also wants to apply caution, and he wants other runners to do the same. Now race are slowing beginning to appear again it can be very tempting to sign up for everything and then overtrain and burn out.

Think about what you are trying to achieve, and work backwards from there. Drop in races as 'stepping stones’ to see where you are by all means, but avoid asking too much from the body.

Not all races need to be raced. They can be used in different ways. You could use a ’stepping stone’ race to work on different aspects of your running - technique, pacing, mental strategies, race prep etc.

It is important to think about the physiological and psychological elements that are necessary to return to the race shape that you were once in, prior to lockdown.

#AskJake: Each week, we'll take one of your questions and Jake will answer it. Today, we're talking about protein.

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

On this episode, we speak to carbon negative ultra runner, and former Plodcast guest, Damian Hall.

Damian has recently released his new book In It For The Long Run. It tells the story of running a first marathon aged thirty-six, dressed as a toilet, and representing Great Britain four years later.

His midlife-crisis running problem escalated to 100-mile ultramarathons and record-breaking bimbles, culminating in his 261-mile Pennine Way run in July 2020.

We also speak with athlete Jenny Spink, the winner of the 2019 Manchester marathon. Jenny lives in Spain, and as amazing as the climate is over there, training in the summer can be TOUGH.

runningwithjake — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 01:01:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

On this episode, we speak to ex GB/England athlete and coach, Helen Clitheroe.

Having represented England more than 50 times, Helen has a personal best of 4:01 in the 1500m.

She attributes a large part of her success to consistency in training. Helen has always avoided overtraining (something that many of us are not so good at!) which has helped her to avoid injury.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 067 (Olympic trials, poor timing, and naked haircuts)

runningwithjake — Wed, 07 Apr 2021 01:01:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

On this episode, we speak to athlete Charlotte Taylor-Green who took part in the Olympic Marathon Trials at Kew Gardens in London on March 26th.

Charlotte has a personal best time in a marathon of 2:36:54 set in Dublin in 2019. By her own admission, she wasn’t the fastest on paper going into the trials, but she was in great shape and ready to see what she could do.

Unfortunately, poor timing of the menstrual cycle, and an overwhelming feeling of nausea, meant that Charlotte had to live to fight another day.

runningwithjake — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 01:00:00 +0100

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

On this episode, we chat with 1500m runner Holly Archer who recently earned herself a silver medal representing GB at the European Indoor Championships in Poland.

Holly, who felt super strong through the heats, found herself up against it in the final. The race, which started slowly, was frantic, with jostling throughout the field, and tactical play from two Spanish runners that prevented Holly from hitting the front of the pack when she wanted.

After a blistering finish to the race Holly placed second, only to endure an agonising wait to see if she was going to be disqualified. Fortunately she wasn’t, and she is now the Indoor 1500m European Champion.

On this episode, Jake and Pete get bent out of shape over the fact they have never won an award, yet they are promoting The Lovejoy Hour who are apparently an “Award Winning Podcast”?? It turns out that the award isn’t all it’s cracked up to be….. as the judges of said award were the show host and the producer!?

We speak to Tom Craggs - England Athletics Marathon Lead Coach, Road Running Manager, and Runner’s World columnist. Tom’s own running journey didn’t begin as a junior athlete. He began when his Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer and he signed up for a marathon.

runningwithjake — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 01:00:00 +0000

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is the winner of the 1983 London marathon, Mike Gratton. Back in 1983 things were a lot different from how they are now, particularly in the way of funding and how athletes earn a living. At the time Mike won the London marathon he was a P.E. teacher. For most, spinning a full-time job with running 120+ miles per week may seem impossible, but Mike took it in his stride and saw it as “only two hours training a day”.

Mike is also a Running Coach and he organises race trips and training camps through 2:09 Events Limited .

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Richard Newhouse. After being diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in 2019 Richard is determined to give something back to the amazing people that helped him through it. Unlike in a traditional fund raising way, whereby people choose to do something that they have perhaps always wanted to do (a parachute jump for example), Richard has chosen something that he HATES…….. running!

In October he will be taking on the 2021 London marathon. By his own admission he knows NOTHING about running but he is absorbing information like a sponge, and it is this very reason that enabled him to stumble upon the PLODcast.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 058 (Illegal trips, vibrating toys, and raunchy reverends)

runningwithjake — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 01:00:00 +0000

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Ing Kalchthaler - a children’s librarian, a pastor, a big fan of the show, and a beautiful soul with an amazing story.

At Ing's heaviest she was 153kg, and she physically couldn’t even take out the rubbish! Over the course of only two years Ing lost a whopping 90kg. Despite this impressive feat, and by her own admission, Ing went too far with the weight loss. She reached a point beyond what is deemed healthy and sustainable, and her calorie intake was so low that it caused her hair to fall out.

Ing is now in a very happy place with her running. She runs six times per week, she loves it, and she is even writing a book on how you can be happy or sad at any weight.

#AskJake: Each week, we'll take one of your questions and Jake will answer it. Today, it's all about how long to how a stretch for.

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is ultra running adventurer Scott Jenkins and he has a HUGE ’self-made’ challenge on his hands! In 2021 Scott is attempting to complete FIVE of the world’s most challenging ultra distance events: Cocodona 250 / Badwater 135 / Bigfoot 200 / Tahoe 200 / Moab 240

What makes this challenge even greater is the fact that they are all continuous races, rather than multi-day events. Scott's main driver behind this insane challenge is raising money for Operation Smile UK.

runningwithjake — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 01:00:00 +0000

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

Today’s guest is Denny Krahe, also know as Dizruns. Denny is Running Coach, a host of Diz Runs Radio AND the most apologetic guest we have EVER had! Turns out it took Diz a loooong time to get back to Jake, of which he was clearly VERY sorry!

Denny is coping with life in Florida pretty well. He is driven by performance and he has some lofty targets of his own, such as running a marathon in every state in America. Denny doesn’t want to break himself to achieve targets though, as he wants to run for the long term. He wants to run for the rest of his life.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 055 (Sparkly sneakers, sweat science and a big ass critic)

runningwithjake — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 01:02:00 +0000

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

On this episode, we speak with Andy Blow, the founder of Precision Hydration. As an athlete himself, Andy has made his own mistakes with hydration in his training, and he wants to help others avoid the same.

There isn’t a simple answer to 'good hydration' as it isn’t one-size-fits-all. However there are certain principles that we can consider when looking at our own hydration needs, and a good place to start is understanding your sweat rate and type. Do you sweat a lot? Are you a ’salty sweater’??

One of the main functions of sweating is to dissipate heat, and we shouldn’t categorise is as a bad thing.

Today’s guest is Marvin Burton - a Personal Trainer, Fitness Expert, and according to Jake (and a bizarre Dutch massage experience) he has a beautiful touch..?! Whether or not we get to find out exactly what this is all in a future episode of the plodcast, your guess is as good as mine!

Marvin believes in keeping fitness simple, in most cases anyway, as he says it can be made for too complicated. As someone who suffered his own health issues from being an overweight kid, he is aware of the impact and mental scarring that life can cause.

Running with Jake - The PLODcast 051 (Capes, pocket squares, and cryptogenic strokes)

runningwithjake — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 01:00:00 +0000

Welcome to your weekly dose of running my motivation

Today’s guest is Andy Dobinson. In February 2017, after a successful background in the world of cycling, competing in several 24hr challenges, Andy suffered a cryptogenic stroke. After a brutal and extensive recovery process he is back on his feet and has plenty of running medals to prove it!

He talks openly about his stroke, and the impact it had on his mind as well as his body. It has changed him in many ways, and for the better. He admits that he was obsessed with training (something not so easy to admit at the time) but since the stroke he is taking a much more rounded approach to his training, focusing on key elements such as nutrition, sleep, and rest.

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.

For the second time on the plodcast we speak to running coach and ex-GB athlete Jo Wilkinson.

The curious question we’re asking on today’s show is ‘can you be too fit for your legs??’. As an elite athlete Jo did more than her fair share of strength and conditioning exercises. However, her running was still interrupted at key points by injury. Looking back she can’t help but wonder what she might’ve achieved if she’d have really fully understood the concept of being too fit for your legs.

#AskJake: Each week, we'll take one of your questions and Jake will answer it. Today, Julie wants to know whether to follow "the 10% rule" when increasing mileage, or not.
