I just appeared on a podcast where the female co-host admits she starts each and every day on the LetsRun.com forum

I enjoyed the chat about the dogs and babies. Got bored once the running talk started

The host pretends he has a sub 3 marathon streak going... total bs. *

Runners are inherently boring. They are so boring they bore themselves. They love exchanging running stories with their running friends, but the listeners are always bored out of their minds, while the story telling loves hearing their own story.

Great hearing the backstory of Letsrun from the man himself. This episode might have been a tad long (at least the show notes let you just skip to the interview if you like), but the guests the podcast has had on have been great and they tell compelling stories about all aspects of the running community (Olympians, Race directors, People who run because/through amazing reasons).

So you're saying you are a loyal listener?

Did you look relaxed?

I think these guys (and gal) are hilarious! I'm definitely listening to some of the older podcasts... Suzy Favor Hamilton was great.

Nice try, you guys may be identical twins but your voices are pretty different.

Wait, Chris Farley is alive?!

Faked his death to actually emerge as Matt Foley, motivational speaker.

LOL, ok now that I've listened to the whole podcast:

Robert, when I started running again after a long layoff I just did a little bit at a time. One mile or two miles a day, sometimes took days off when I was too sore. Eventually I got up to 2-4 miles a day, 4-5 days a week, and started doing strides occasionally. Strides made me ridiculously sore the first couple times. I stayed at 20-30 minutes/day 4-5 days/week for about a month, and then built up from there.

So I'm giving you permission to do a stupidly small amount of running at a stupidly easy pace, it'll take a while for your body to get back into it but it will eventually.

One problem I'm having now is that I need more recovery after hard workouts, and I'm not sure if that's really due to age or just lower fitness.

I was just in Greenville and saw Frank Devar Jr Jr walking out of the Olive Garden to the bus stop. Its all true.

But now that you brought it up, if she is, I think we should get her to agree to go on a date with Wejo with a hidden camera/mic. I'll live broadcast it on the forums (ppv of course) without telling Weldon.

I can't imagine people will be cheating in marathons any longer and with only 1 world championship or Olympics in the next 1000 days, we need something to generate traffic.

Please tell me you see the irony in your own post.

Haha, that's why I love Rojo, he's like an innocent child.

I have been listening to the podcast for just about a year now and I have to tell you I LOVE IT. I am a runner and have been a runner since my Dad took me out on the road in the morning in grade school and what makes this my favorite podcast is not the running talk. It is the fact that they effortlessly intertwine stories about dogs, kids and poor choices in New Years Resolutions into stories about running. It did not take long to realize that the three hosts have a phenomenal chemistry and that is something that is translated to the listener. I took my five year old running for the first time and I wanted to tweet a picture to Joanna of the two of us but then I realized that I only have a "podcast" relationship with her and I don't really know her so that would be weird. The guests that they bring on the show are fantastic, and if you need to start somewhere go to Episode 57 with CNN's Tom Foreman, they are all runners but what makes the interviews so great is that the hosts can get way more out of them then just what their split times are. Do yourself a favor and listen to the podcast, you will love it.

That Paul Ryan debacle was the best. It combined everything I loved. Running, politics, schadenfreude going NATIONAL. Glad they mentioned it on the podcast, because I think that's when I started reading the message boards.

Was pretty good, I enjoyed it.

Rojo joins them around minute 30 or 35.

letsrun is the National Enquirer of running (except letsrun has no literate editors). The female co-host ADMITS that she reads letsrun in the same way that someone would admit that they read the National Enquirer or that they eat a pint of Crisco -- they know that it is disgusting. Even rojo knows that it is disgusting.

By the way, the National Enquirer would be rojo's favorite reading material if rojo ever turned of the TV and read something.

Seems like rojo 3 years ago was more progressive. Partisan times smh.

Lol... Joanna says that to all her guests. She does minimal research and the guests believe that she actually is a fan of their show, book, forum, etc.
