MPP Ep 024 The Mile, The Marathon, and Runner's World Magazine

This week we start with a request for the MidPackers. Help me in reaching at least 5 reviews on iTunes by the end of September. I know we can do it. An update on my training. How the back pain has effected my fitness and what the adjustments to the Marine Corp Marathon training plan have resulted in so far. For some reason I thought it would be fun to run through the newly re-designed Runner's World Magazine. Spoiler Alert: It is still about running. Finally, discussion is sparked by a Wall Street Journal article entitled, "Run A Mile Race Instead of a Marathon." I respond to some things said in the article and tailspin into some things only hinted at in the article. I also talk about the running dragon inside all of us.  Be sure to visit the website and blog for lots more. http://themidpackpodcast.com  Email me: [email protected] and of course, find me on Twitter: @themidpackers
