If you happen to wonder why the show notes are in the third person it is because I am letting AI generate them. Sometimes these show notes crack me up because they seem to be so dramatic.

Hey there, this is Ron, and welcome to episode 154 of the Lost Trailrunner podcast. This episode is a bit shorter than usual, but it comes with an important update from Mountain Park. I've been under the weather this past week, and it has thrown my PeachTree training plan off course. It all started on Wednesday afternoon after an easy MAF 5k run. By the time I got home, every muscle in my body was aching, and my temperature had risen. Over the next couple of days, I battled a high fever, sore throat, and a persistent cough that made even simple tasks feel exhausting. Although my temperature has come down, I am still dealing with lingering symptoms. Despite feeling unwell, I decided to take a walk at Mountain Park. Walking seems to help, and I feel better when I'm moving. I discuss how my fever fluctuated and how I've been managing my symptoms. I also share my thoughts on whether it could be COVID-19 or just a severe cold. Thankfully, my fever has broken, and I'm hoping to get back to running soon. During my walk, I reflect on the importance of staying active even when you're not feeling your best. Walking might not be as strenuous as running, but it's better than doing nothing. I aim to walk 45 minutes every day to maintain some level of fitness until I can resume my regular training schedule. In this episode, I also mention a new AI feature from Podbean that I'm considering using to enhance the podcast. This feature can generate show notes and edit out pauses, hums, and coughs, which might be particularly useful given the number of breaks in this recording. Join me on this journey as I navigate through this challenging week and look forward to getting back on track. Thanks for listening, and I hope to bring you a more positive update in the next episode. Keep the emails coming in and be sure to subscribe!

Just another update on my running.  Started my 10K Training for Peachtree 2024, we will see if I can do better than last year.

This episode is about a month or more late, I am sorry.   Lack of motivation hit me, but I think I have recovered.  Anyway I am continuing to use a 5k maintenance plan from the Runna app as well as do MAF runs. I am not sure how effective MAF is if you are not consistent.  I guess that I will have to try harder to stick with it.

This is my 3rd podcast of the year, I must be on a roll. I go over what I have been doing training wise from about 1/25 thru 2/11. I have been sticking with my MAF workouts and I believe that I am making gains. Maybe small gains, but gains nonetheless.  If you want to email me with suggestions for the podcast my email is:  losttrailrunner@nym.hush.com Recorded on a Zoom H1n Handy Recorder.

This podcast was recorded on a walk at Chattahoochee Pointe Park. I am scheduled to run a short trail race there on Oct 15th, but I managed to injure my right leg on a run the other day so the race is questionable. Anyway I had a good walk and recorded this podcast. I had my GoPro with me so I also did a little video which is on my LostTrailRunner Facebook page The Intro music was "Out the Back" and the Outtro was "Letters from Wyoming" both from Epidemic Sound.

I start the podcast in my backyard discussing the idea that it is better to strive for consistency than perfection in training. I then hop in my car and record on my way to Stone Mountain for a short walk on the trail. Once I finish my trail walk I record again on the way home. I ramble on about running shoes, etc. This episode was recorded on an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder WS-853 using a PowerDeWise Lav Mic and edited on Hindenburg Lite software.

Well it has been almost a year since my last podcast, so I figured it was about time to put out another one. Since it has been so long since I have recorded I thought it would be a good time to go over some of my history in running. I went to Lilburn Park and took a walk and recorded episode 139, previously I was wondering if I would ever get around to recording again.

What can I say, another rambling podcast as I go to Lilburn Park and walk before my run workout. Hope you enjoy.   e1dlqjOfa4fQ8aTjAzr1 LostTrailRunner Podcast by Ron Trail is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.
