Summary: In today's episode, I am joined by guest Todd Macausland, a RunBuzz community member, who is a visually impaired runner from Canada. Todd has a condition known as retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that has no cure, but can lead to blindness. But that does not stop him from being a runner. Todd has run lots of races including multiple marathons and this April he will be running the Boston marathon. Todd and I discuss his background in running, some of his favorite running tips, along with the challenges of being a visually impaired runner. We also talk about problems that are encountered when you go out on a race too fast and what to do if you start to fall apart early.<br> <br> All this and more, coming up on today's episode.<br> <br> For complete show notes and links to resources mentioned on today's show, please visit http://www.runbuzz.com/64<br>
