Running Inside Out is just one piece of an extremely vibrant running community in Rochester, NY.
We all have our many reasons for running and let's face it, runners love to tell running stories as much as they like to hear running stories. Our goal is to share the stories and successes of the members of this community.
At times we also might talk about cool races, services, stores and products. I apologize in advance, if ever we accidentally talk about something that isn't running related.
Timing Captains, Attack Chairlifts and Mini Horse-Ponies, oh my! Chris and Jen meander through the madness of running and life. And the cuteness of baby goats. Chris got to pet a baby goat at the Midsummer Madness Trail Half Marathon and Jen was totally envious.
It’s iconic, it’s electric, it’s the mile! Chris chats with race director Mort Nace and racer/human metronome Chris Patterson about the inaugural Rochester Mile, part of the Rochester Twilight Criterium.
It's the middle of summer running season and one of our favorites, Dam Good Trail Race was this weekend. Jen and Chris are joined by Alison Carletta to talk about Dam Good, Running, hula hooping, kombuching and a few other ings.
Chris and Kendra talk about rebuilding and reinventing their running, from Chris’ running adventures in Wisconsin and not-running adventures in spin class to Kendra’s post grad-school life and newfound love of running with music.
While Chris is out of town, Kendra and Jen take over and discuss running when life is busy/crazy/stressful. Whether expected or unexpected, stress happens, life happens. How do we roll with it and keep running? Releasing expectations, being flexible about fitting in runs and, of course, drinking coffee and hugging dogs.
Chris and Jen attempt to talk about alternatives to the usual running events – from triathlons and color runs to obstacle races and fatass runs – but end up right back at trail running, cabooses and M. Doughty.
Chris and Jen talk about challenging their assumptions, changing their minds and breaking through walls like the Kool-Aid man. Oh yeah! Chris is going back to basics and starting his training over from ground zero. Jen has discovered the deliciousness of ginger and the weird magic of gas station adventure road runs.
Whether it’s after a big goal race, a running hiatus or a major life event, sometimes we all need to start over. Chris and Jen converse and confabulate about re-starting and running with intention rather than expectation. The moral of the story: just do the thing - it’s never too late to rise from the ashes like a bedazzled phoenix.
Chris and Kendra venture into the woods to run and talk and (pre)-record the show! Get the authentic running experience - wind, heavy breathing, shorts-liner woes and all!
On the latest episode of Running Inside Out the Radio Show, Chris and Kendra recap the flawlessly executed inaugural Many on the Genny. Well, flawless by the Race Directors and Kendra. Chris's performance is a different basket of worms. Listen in to hear about a beautiful day and 40 magical miles in Letchworth State Park.
