Weekly RunDown #102

“Self-discipline starts with you. It’s no other person. It starts with you. Start to examine yourself...  Self discipline is doing what’s right instead of doing what you feel like doing.  That's the meaning of self-discipline.”


This week's Interview Tuesday was with the Co-Host of the Southeastern Trail Runner Podcast Shannon Bryan.  I interviewed the other Co-Host Clinton Lewis a few weeks ago and actually was on the show for Episode #73

If you have not heard about "Hyponatremia" you should as Dr. Noakes has talked about it for some time.  Here is an article to give you an overview of the issues with Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia (EAH).  Here is an article by Dr.Tim Noakes from 2012 on the subject and an Endurance Planet podcast on the subject of hydration with Dr. Noakes and Dr. Maffetone

Ian Corless, who always has great photos of running, has a updated photography site with the race reports, writings and podcasts still at his regular site

Good article (1 of 3) on being in Ketosis and Being Fat Adapted and you can also hear Amy on the Human Performance Outliers podcast Episode 30.  You should also read the info she has on Alzheimers as I think we all know someone that is either there or heading that way

8 Years ago this years winner of The Badwater 135 , Michele Graglia , was a model in New York so not quite the usual path to Ultras
