Send us a text#118 - Have you ever experience the euphoria following a long run? That feeling as if you could dance on air? On the flip side, have you felt so disappointed in a race that you wanted to hide in a corner for days? I take a deep dive into the science behind why we feel the way we do in these two extremes.

Send us a text#116 - Matt gives us an inside look at race photography. If you ask him why does it seem like the photographers always catch you at the worst times, well, he might tell you it's by design, because that's when you're at your most struggling, giving your most effort. He also shares some of his most harrowing shooting sites, including filming during a lightening storm, while trying to take care of an aide station, while filming, during a lightening storm, after hiking 30 kilometers in. Yeah, he does that. You won't look at race photography the same again and you'll never pass another photographer on the course without thanking them! All Matt's info will be on the website at www.martharunstheworld.com For any comments, questions or suggestions for future shows, please email me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_s

Send us a text#115 - Being an independent thinker means not sharing the same opinions as the crowd. In this week's episode, I share a couple adverse opinions I have as they relate to running. The first has to do with influencers. When did this group of not important people suddenly become important to runners? The second is the adoration of a handful of ultrarunners at the expense of others. I have a few more thoughts as well. I know that you, as MRTW listeners and being independent thinkers yourselves will appreciate where I go this week. Take a listen! For information on everything in this episode, including the website for the documentary Kaila and Rob Rhodes GoFundMe page, go to the website at: www.martharunstheworld.com If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for future shows, please email me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#108 - Who do you look up to for motivation in running? Terry Fox is the first person I think of. If you're a Canadian you know all about about. There isn't a Canadian alive who doesn't know who Fox is, he is a greater hero than even Wayne Gretzky, The Great One there. And with good reason. In the cold and dark of winter, it's good to hear about those heroes in history who blazed trails no one had before. Who were not afraid to go it alone. Who knew that failure might happen, but did it anyway. Terry Fox will forever remain one of the mightiest in running. For all links used in this episode and for more information about the Terry Fox Foundation, please visit the website at: www.martharunstheworld.com if you have comments, questions or ideas for future shows, please contact 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/

Send us a text#107 - There were a lot of great challenges that running race companies concocted to keep us runners active and engaged through 2020. One of them was through Coastal Trail Runs. it was the 100/30 Challenge. We runners had to finish 100 miles in 30 days and we'd receive a medal for every 100 miles we finished. Some of us we more than happy to get 100 miles done every month. But there were a few who went over and above. The runner who did the most was Adwait Samant, who blew everyone else out of the water! I was so impressed with his miles total that I knew I wanted him on the show. And he did not disappoint. His story is compelling and inspiring! For all info on this show, including one of Adwait's totals charts, please go to the website: www.martharunstheworld.com if you have any comments, questions or suggestions for future show ideas, email me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmai

Send us a text#106 - Every once in a while, I come across a terrific story online that I must share. It was in this way that I knew I wanted to have Carol Patterson on my show. Carol is one of those people who inspires us without even trying. In the piece she wrote for Donner Party Mountain Runners "On Birthdays and the Passage of Time" she talks about how running changes as we get older and how her own running has changed she since just celebrated her 77th birthday. She talks about that and much more on this week's show.
