Summary
How to Stay Running For Life: Special Collaborative Episode!
This week's guests are a little different from our usual guests such as Olympian Jared Wade or top race director Dave McGillivray of the Boston Marathon or yoga instructor Adina Crawford to name a few. The athletes in this podcast aren't household names but still impact lots of runners. They're founders of some of the top Facebook running groups around the world and they have agreed to collaborate on this special episode.
Facebook is a great platform for runners around the world to interact, share advice, and build virtual communities, which is especially important during these times. Coach Claire joined several of these Facebook running groups to try to find out what members were discussing and what questions the runners had.
For this episode, Coach Claire decided to focus on advice for how to keep running for as long as possible, and so asked each of the guests the same question: What do you include in your running routine that will help ensure you are running for life?
The responses were great. Each guest had something a little bit different to say, and all of it is good advice that will hopefully help keep you running and motivated for life. So get ready for six guests, one question, various accents, and some great answers coupled with Coach Claire's expert commentary!

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone and welcome to the Run to the Top podcast. I'm your host |
| 0:12.1 | Coach Claire Barthalic also known as the planted runner. |
| 0:15.4 | And my goal is to help make you a better runner each and every week. |
| 0:20.8 | This week I've decided to do something a little different. |
| 0:27.0 | Typically I'm interviewing someone in the running world, |
| 0:30.0 | whether it's an elite athlete like Olympian Jared Wade or a top race director like |
| 0:36.0 | Dave McGillivri of the Boston Marathon or a yoga instructor that can help you run |
| 0:41.3 | better like a Dana Crawford. |
| 0:43.0 | But there are lots of leaders in the running community |
| 0:47.0 | that have great advice to share, |
| 0:49.0 | and with only 52 weeks in the year, I just can't get to them all. I wanted to get some advice from people |
| 0:56.1 | who have a huge impact in the running world but might not be household names and I wanted to know what kind of things that they did to |
| 1:05.2 | ensure that they would be running for life because ultimately that's what we all |
| 1:09.5 | want right I mean at least I do. Being fast is super fun, let me tell you, but running is so much more than that. |
| 1:18.0 | I want to run for as long as I can at every age no matter what the pace. |
| 1:24.3 | So I've reached out to six founders of some of the leading Facebook running groups from |
| 1:29.4 | around the world, and I ask them to collaborate with me on this special episode. |
| 1:35.0 | I loved their responses and their various accents and I'm excited to share them with you today. |
| 1:42.0 | But first, very quickly this week, don't forget that we are still |
| 1:46.4 | running our December iTunes review contest. I'm aiming to reach a thousand reviews on iTunes by |
| 1:52.1 | the end of 2020 and I desperately need your help |
| 1:55.8 | to get there. If you head to iTunes, post a review of the run to the top, then |
