Jon Griffiths opened Rochester Running Company with the goal to Run Our City Together. In this episode of the podcast, he shares some of his background, the story of starting the store and the motivations and goals behind his continuous drive. We talk about golfing, sleeping (or not), life after marriage, and what really is needed to run a marathon. Special Guest: Jonathan Griffiths.

In this episode, I make the trip to Ithaca to see Ellie Pell in her natural habitat. We talk about her amazing 2019; Placing Top Woman in Buffalo Marathon and Many on The Genny, Winning Green Lakes 50k and Watergap 50k outright and then capping it all off with a 2:41 at Hartford Marathon which qualified her for the US Olympic Team Trials in Atlanta. Along the way we discuss imposter syndrome, shaking the blahs, celebrating the little victories, being grateful for every mile run, the benefits of running with fast people and just generally loving running. Special Guest: Ellie Pell.

Shea Coleman walks into the studio as if she didn’t even recently do a hundred miler. Shea recently completed Mighty Mosquito 99 (with the extra bonus mile) and so we are going to chat a bit about that as well as being a volunteer extraordinaire and her exciting plans for multisport events. Shea is a vegan unicorn ultra-runner who lives on a farm with horses and pigs and dogs and cats. We spend some time figuring out why it is that she does what she does, how she got there and where she might be going. But really, we just chat about the love of friends, running, and our awesome commnunity. Special Guest: Shea Coleman.

Rob Richard makes the long trip in from Little Falls, NY to share some stories of learning and finding perspective in running. Rob Richard is a life-long runner who lives in the charming city of Little Falls, NY. He ran his first ultra marathon in 2015 and has since finished over twenty endurance races, including the Bear 100, the Georgia Death Race (four times), the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), and a first-place finish at The Endurance Society "Infinitus" 100-miler. Last year, he successfully completed a winter crossing of the Great Range Traverse in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. Rob is the captain of a running club he founded, the "Rock City Runners," and he's very active in his community, serving on the boards of two non-profits as well as two City boards. Special Guest: Rob Richard.

Josh Rossi strongarms his way into the studio to talk about the importance of well… strength in running. For years, Josh has run a program called Muscles for Mileage… and now he is working out of his own gym Pursuit Performance (https://www.pursuitroc.com/). Josh thinks a lot about running and makes his opinions known about the need for more strength and conditioning in the running world. We chat about the importance or practice versus repetition, potential causes for highly active and established runners feeling dissatisfied with the running (TLD;DL Racing!) and what people can do to generally improve their fitness and possibly their self-esteem along with it. Special Guest: Josh Rossi.

Nate Huckle makes his way down the Thruway to chat about such things as racing, Muddy Sneaker, Oil Creek, Twisted Branch, coaching, mentoring, pacing, volunteering and anything that might come up... Nate has been a great friend, coach (at both Brighton High School in Rochester and Canisius College in Buffalo), and mentor to many people in the running community and constantly finds opportunities to give back and provide a positive influence wherever he may find himself, so I’m really happy to have him on the podcast to share some of his stories. Special Guest: Nate Huckle.

In this episode, Jennifer Belliveau comes back home to visit some family, hits up a trail for a quick run and pops into the studio to talk about running. Jennifer grew up in Rochester, but now lives down in Long Island and runs the New York Road Runner (NYRR) races with her running friends. We chat about 'being a runner' in High School, how running friends help you run all the miles, and trying to figure out exactly how one trains for a marathon without getting injured by finding the line between adding miles and over-usage. Special Guest: Jennifer Belliveau.

Hello and Welcome to the CoolDown, the special aftershow content for supporters of the Running Inside Out Podcast on Patreon. Now you may be saying to yourself… “Self, I am not on Patreon. I should not be hearing this extra bonus content.” And you would be right… except, I felt this was a good example of the kind of stuff that you can hear ‘behind the curtain’ and so the thinking goes, if you like what you hear, then click that link fam, get on the Patreon and slap down your digits to contribute to the financial well-being of the show. And if you don’t like what you hear, well, then that’s just like… your opinion. As always thank you all for listening and especially thank you to those that choose to contribute to the podcast… And now, enjoy your cool down. Special Guest: Jeff Beck.

Jeff Beck calls in from way out in Oklahoma City to share some stories from racing throughout Rochester back in his High School and college days and what he is up to now with coaching a new crop of runners and starting a family in Oklahoma. Now, Mort Nace and I hatched a plan to surprise Jeff with a call from Zach Rivers during the podcast. Zach and Jeff raced and trained together when Zach was just a high schooler and Jeff was a National level collegiate runner. They had some amazing training sessions and races together and so once Zach gets on the line, things get a lot more interesting. Special Guest: Jeff Beck.

Brooke Smith ambles into the studio to talk about all the usual stories about loving trail running, eating disorder recovery, quitting dieting, and making a decision to stop trying to change her body and instead run as far/fast as she can in the body that she has. As well as talking about her previous Twisted Branch, her upcoming Twisted Branch yoga and anything else that comes up. The RIO PodRacers are heading back to the Mighty Mosquito 99 (https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=61507). Come run with us. Here is our team! * Chris O'Brien * Jason Vidmar * Laura Rekkerth * Abby McCarthy * Daven Oskvig * Matt Bertrand *** Special Guest: Brooke Smith.

Despite the odds, the Earth has made it around the sun again and so it is time for Mike Welden to visit the studio. I wasn't sure what Mike had in store when he called me. In the end, it turned it wasn't anything to be afraid of; a little bit of running, a couple of laughs and good chat with a great person. Mike and I talk a little bit about Many On the Genny, Twisted Branch, and what it might look like if we all started being a bit more human to each other. As with most episodes featuring MIke, the language gets a little saucy, so keep away from sensitive ears if that isn't your thing. Special Guest: Mike Welden.

Calli ran as a member of the University of New Mexico Lobos. She is from Sheffield, UK and stopped by Rochester to run a 4:59 in the 2019 Rochester Mile. She likes Breakfast Burritos. 🌯 Special Guest: Calli Thackery.

You may have heard of a little Netflix documentary called "Barkley, the Race that eats its young" and if you are a trail or ultra runner, you may have even been asked if you ever ran or want to run Barkley. And if you are a silly person, you might even be thinking that you DO want to run Barkley someday. What you may not know is that we have two people from the Rochester Area that have run Barkley. In fact, 6 they have 6 attempts between the two of them! Tim Hardy and John Fegyveresi both ran the race in 2012. John is one of the races only 15 finishers. Tim has finished races like Arrowhead 135, Badwater, And Massanutten Mountain and yet was portrayed as 'the human sacrifice' in the movie. Well thanks to Greater Rochester Track Club, Tim and John gave us a view behind the curtain. Special Guests: John Fegyveresi and Tim Hardy.

Karen Howe recently ran a 3:08 at Boston. A PR by 2 minutes, at the age of 42. What's the secret? Well, she takes a day out of her recovery schedule to talk about her recent run as part of Team MR8. We talk about how a combination of planning, positivity, stubborness, coaching, and consistency is helping her get faster as she gets older! Special Guest: Karen Howe.

Lisa Famiglietti drops in to talk about being coerced into spontaneous racing, the joy (and coercion) of running groups, and how she hasn't ran a marathon (yet.) Then we explore the menus and beers of our favorite cities. Lisa's first ever race was a borrowed bib, her most recent race was a borrowed bib, get the picture? She can frequently be found running with (and wearing the colors of) Rochester Running Company. She brought me Fifth Frame and TreeHouse Beers. She works in TV and usually keeps a tight schedule, so she wanted to make this brief and tidy... but she brought beers... so we disavowed her of that notion pretty quickly. Enjoy! (and don't play the "Drink every time you hear Rochester Running Company" game while listening... please... for everyone's safety.) Special Guest: Lisa Famiglietti.

Laura Rekkerth made her way to 74 peaks last year. Daven Oskvig has run more than 70 ultras, finishing many on the podium. Tim Kent is a purposeful training machine setting an example for the next generation. Laura Webber is a family oriented adventure racer who did a 24 hour mountain bike relay race with her husband Ian while their 1 and 3 year old served as crew. They each were kind enough to share their experiences and motivations running and getting outside as well as humoring me during some of my more … interesting lines of questioning. Special Guests: Daven oskvig, Laura Rekkerth, Laura Webber, and Tim Kent.

Prem Kumar and Daniel Knopp are joining with Work, a non-profit organization, to run across Haiti. Their goal is to show that Haiti is not a place to be feared or pitied and to raise funds for our work in ending poverty in Menelas through dignified jobs. Prem and Dan have raised over $13,000 and will be running 200 miles in 8 days. In this episode they share their motivations for the run as well as their hopes and fears. Ultimately, they aim to share a message of hope and inspiration. [Note: Since this recording, Work anoounced the difficult decision to postpone the run due to demonstrations in Haiti. The run will still take place but will most likely be later in the spring. In talking with Dan and Prem, we still felt we should still release the episode as the goal was to get the word out about Haiti and it seemed more appropriate now than ever.] Special Guests: Daniel Knopp and Prem Kumar.

Mark Valites climbs into the guest chair to talk of everything outdoors. In this wide-ranging conversation we cover trails in and around Buffalo, NY, running 100 milers throughout the country and you can hear my fascination as I interrogate Mark about ice climbing!
