A great Podcast to help things be put into perspective when it comes to diets and exercise. Brad Kearns uses the term "Fit, Fat and Unhealthy" and it speaks to many that workout seeking to be "Fit, Lighter and Healthy" but not getting there.  Also, here is Debbie Potts blog and her podcasts, including this one with Peter Defty on being fat adapted

As far as Podcasts go the Human Performance Outliers Podcast with Zach Bitter and Dr. Shawn Barber was a good one as they talk to triathlete Pete Jacobs

The INEOS 1:59 Challenge will be broadcast live on YouTube on October 12th, or thereabouts as the time is sort of open to pick the best conditions

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run.  If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running  Club.  There is now a running group starting over in Burkesville, for info check out their FB Page- Burkesville Running Club.  Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.
