Swuggling, Unijuggling and Joggling the Triathlon

Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:25:00 -0500

We have two special guests for our 50th podcast episode. Bob and Trish Evans are a husband and wife creative duo. They are experienced jugglers who hold world records for joggling (juggling while running) for male and female in the 5K and 10K. Trish's 5K PR is 19:46, and Bob's is 16:34.

They also competed in a sprint triathlon, juggling the entire time. They swuggled (swimming while juggling), unijuggled (rode a unicycle while juggling), and joggled (juggled while running). They use their talent and the attention they get to help charities in need. For their triathlon, they raised over $3,500 for the Special Olympics.

Bob and Trish also enjoy sharing about juggling in school assemblies to teach children that fitness can be fun.

Ex-Smoker and Cancer Survivor Turned Marathon Runner

This week on the WalkJogRun Podcast, we interviewed Julie Guarducci, an ex-smoker and lung cancer survivor who now is training for her first marathon despite a collapsed lung which affects her breathing.

We transcribed this podcast below, or you may choose to listen to the audio.

Quitting smoking, starting running and a cancer diagnosis

Life after cancer

Raising cancer awareness

Quitting smoking, starting running and a cancer diagnosis

Caitlin: Would you mind sharing a little bit about your story and how that led to you becoming interested in running?

Julie: Sure. Probably around the time that I quit smoking, I decided that it was time to get healthy all around. So I quit smoking, decided to try and start eating properly, and I also joined a gym. I was working with a trainer and doing quite a few spin classes. I kind of got bored with that and then started running on the treadmill, so that's how my running started.

Caitlin: At what point did you get your cancer diagnosis?

Julie: I was diagnosed in July of 2010. I think it was about 2 years after I had quit smoking that I was diagnosed.

Caitlin: Wow, is that very common?

Julie: Looking back at what I now know to be symptoms, I think I had the cancer when I started working out at the gym. I just didn't know it. I didn't know what the signs were.

Caitlin: How did you gradually go about building up your mileage having just quit smoking. Was it difficult to do that?

Julie: It was difficult. But I think what helped me is that I was doing spin classes, and spin classes are very much a cardio class if you haven't done them before. It really gets the heart going and breathing really hard. I think that helped me, and when I did meet a running coach, because I told her I had been running on the treadmill and that I had been doing spin classes, I think she thought that I was good to go. And my first run, she sent me out on three miles, and I thought I was going to die. But I did it. It was more of a run/walk, but I did it. She does it in increments of two: two weeks you do three miles, two weeks you do five miles, and two weeks you do seven miles to build up your mileage. But by my third week, she had me at seven miles and I was like, 'I can't do this.' I did the seven. It was tough, but then she realized I really hadn't been running as much as she had originally thought. So she cut me back down and started gradually building my mileage back up.

The Community of The Half Fanatics & Marathon Maniacs

Fri, 11 May 2012 12:06:00 -0500

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing with four members of the Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics. This organization consists a great group of people of all ages who simply love to run. The organization is internet based, and many members meet through Facebook or noticing another member at a race wearing a shirt.

Heather Zeigler, Marathon Maniac #3086 and Half Fanatic #1343
Diane Miller, Half Fanatic #1842
Bob Miller, Marathon Maniac #3875 and Half Fanatic #506
Abbi Florence, Marathon Maniac #5102, and Half Fanatic #933

If you've never heard of the Marathon Maniacs of the Half Fanatics, you probably don't know what any of these numbers mean. The Marathon Maniacs are a group of people who love to run marathons. The same follows for the Half Fanatics, but they prefer half marathons. Those who are a Marathon Maniac and Half Fanatic, are called double agents. The organization is international, and if you send in your race date information you get assigned a number which shows what number you are within the organization.

It was great getting to talk with these Half Fanatics and Marathon Maniacs. I was curious about the organization since meeting Bob at the Fox Valley Marathon Expo in 2011. He was there sporting his Half Fanatics jacket. You can see him with us in the photo below.

Tips for the Triathlon Transitions

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:06:00 -0500

The main focus to most of our blogs and podcasts is running. Well, there is a three sport event that includes running, biking and swimming. The sport of triathlon!

For her, the triathlon is a great way to fit in cross training. I think she's right! The triathlon is something we should all try at some point, even if it's just the sprint distance. The triathlon is an easy way to train different muscles, as each sport focuses highly on a different muscle.

Fitness in the Workplace

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:37:00 -0500

Many companies are taking great efforts to ensure that they foster health and fitness in the workplace. Some are thinking of new and innovative ways to support employee exercise and overall well-being. Sitting at your desk for eight hours a day isn't exactly the best for your health.

A recent study by the University of South Carolina looked at the effects of sitting all day. Those who sat all day were much more likely to die of heart disease. NPR wrote a great article on the study.

Epidemiologist Steven Blair, a professor of public health at the University of South Carolina, has spent 40 years investigating physical activity and health. "Let's say you do 30 minutes of walking five days a week (as recommended by federal health officials), and let's say you sleep for eight hours," Blair says. "Well, that still leaves 15.5 hours" in the day.

So if we know all of this about the risk factors of sitting all day and the health benefits of exercise, what is being done? Many businesses are taking health and fitness to work. This week we interviewed Gus Isacson, Executive Director of the Central Lakeview Merchants Association. He is taking health and fitness into the workplace by conducting board meetings on the run. That's right, board meetings on the run!

This is the case for many runners today. I was enlightened talking to The Naked Runners about the freedom that can come from running naked!
