Our Run Club

We wanted to lighten the mood this week so we decided to tackle our Top 5 tunes we're running to at the moment. We both found our lists eclectic and think you'll enjoy our take on runnin' with tunes.

This week on Coffee Talk we discuss the one thing runners are always talking about. Knees. Knees and knee injuries tend to pop up in conversations with us runners constantly. Whether we're talking IT band friction syndrome, patella issues or the elusive "runners knee", we're always trying to figure out how to get those knees straightened out.

This week we’re talking mileage, how much is too much. Can you run too much? Quality vs quantity etc.. We learn that just like most things the truth is somewhere in the middle for most folks.

It’s heating up outside around these parts. Summer is a few weeks away and we thought we’d hit ya with some tips for battling the heat.

This week we talk all about the food we eat before during and after the run. We also cover our favorite meals and chat a little bit about our weeks in running.

This week on Coffee Talk Mike and Eric talk all about a survey that Mike put out to runners. We learn the average mileage, injury rate and reason why these 100 folks run. It’s an interesting conversation.

Although we recorded this and it was 30 degrees outside. It is April and it technically is Spring. So Razor and Eric chat all about the transition to the Spring season.

This week we chat all about the annoyances that bother us with runners. We love our fellow runners, but we do find some of our habits annoying. How about the runner who says they’ll join you for a run then doesn’t show up? Or the runner who decides the middle of a race is a great time for a chat?! Or the runner who signed up for a race to “take it easy” ok sure ya did!
