It's easy to set out to run a personal record in a 5K, 10K, or marathon. Accomplishing that goal, well, is a little more difficult. Runners more typically plateau, finishing races in roughly the same time each attempt. That need not be the case according to Dave Kuehls, author of How to Run a Personal Record, who joins us on today's show.

Perhaps all of this talk of leaner, faster bodies is overrated. Jayne Williams, the 250-pound author of Slow Fat Triathlete, offers 50 ways to kick butt on the field in the pool, or at the gym no matter what your size and shape in her new book Shape Up with the Slow Fat Triathlete. This time of year, we all feel a little slower and fatter. Jayne helps us feel better about that during this week's show.
