25 Minute Intervals Workout

In these times of social distancing, where group runs can't happen, RunChat is here to run with you. On today's episode, Bryan, Coach John and Billy lead you through an interval workout. You'll start with a 5 minute warm up followed by 10x 1 minute of hard running and 1 minute of active recovery. During those 1 minute segments, the guys play a new game we're calling Pardon The InterRUNption (apologies to Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon). We'll discuss a topic for one minute before the bell rings, after which you move onto your next segment and we move onto our last topic. Good luck and get running!

Episode 11: To Brooklyn and Beyond!

Coach John warms us up with stories from the Paris Marathon, then we get up to tempo pace with a look at this weekend's Brooklyn Half Marathon (including a can't-miss race preview with some hot tips on how to score that PR). We delve into half marathon training in general and how we felt entering our respective first half marathon, so many years ago...

Good luck to everyone running Brooklyn this weekend! Bryan will be volunteering at T-shirt pickup on Wednesday night from 5-10pm, come say hi! And look for the November Project cheer station just after Mile 11, then meet us after the race at Steeplechase Beer Garden in Coney Island!

Episode 10: Early Spring Race Recaps!

After a long winter on the dreadmill/shredmill, we're back! And we're chatting about what we've been up to lately, meaning races -- from the NYC Half to the Paris Marathon to the Red Hook Crit, and #raceeverything in between.

Run Chat Podcast Episode 7: Winter Running (or: #Weatherproof)

The temperatures are getting lower, but don't let your spirits follow -- the winter can still be a great season for running. Bryan and John are back to tell you how to dress for cold and snowy weather, what to watch out for, and how to approach your training to be at your best when all those springtime races come around. So whether you're waking up the sun by yourself [left] or pulling together with some friends to keep each other accountable [like those superstars in the picture below], we've got you covered.

AND, it's not too late to treat that special runner on your list to a great gift, so we've got some thoughts on last-minute gifts you could look for. [Hint: so many socks!]
