The Marathon Show

We gathered comments about the NYC marathon from people that want to run, have run or are running this great event. We'll cover some advice that was offered, ask some questions about this race and hear from some people who are very excited to run this race for the first time.

Your questions about gear, shoes, training, apparel and much more are answered when we go "Down to the Running Store," with Eric Sach of The Balanced Athlete in Renton, WA. Eric will give out some great advice about races, training, heart rate monitors and more. We'll also pick our favorite two questions and give away sets of SnuggBuds

The 2011 Long Beach marathon was awesome.  The weather, the course and the organization were excellent.  You'll hear a marriage proposal, a university that doesn't know its fight song, an over zealous pacer, a woman spraying Windex on runners, a 72 year old man who runs to see all the ladies, some lost underwear, a future women's Olympian and much, much more.  

The audience produced this show. We cover topics you asked about including how to sleep well the night before a race, post-race recovery, walkers that start with the elites, the number of Paul Frank shirts owned by Dave Mari and much, much more. We go all over the place based on audience posts on the Fan page.

We asked the audience to tell us about the clothing and gear they've grown to love in the last couple years. This is the show where we tell you what people said and we take a humorous look at their Facebook page to tell you a little about who wrote in. It's a show you really like based on the feedback
