Running Podcasts

I had a meeting with some students of De La Salle University today -- they're from the Electronics and Communications Engineering Society (that's close to my heart as I graduated ECE and was the charter president of this student organization). We had some discussions on trying to raise money to revive the campus radio project. I told them personally that toying around with analog radio technology might be like working with dinosaurs and that I think it would be better for them to start working with new technology like IPTV or radio streaming or something that would be good for future development.

Anyway, that discussion got me thinking about whether there were any podcasts or videocasts on the net about running -- never entered my mind to seek these out until today. Surprisingly, or rather feeling more amused and delighted, I found a number of entries on google for running podcasts.

I started exploring Running Podcasts -- www.runningpodcasts.org. You can click the title of this post -- it links directly to the website.

Of course, it feels surreal -- working on my laptop and actually listening to the podcasts -- it does feel like I'm back to listening to radio -- not just music but about real live experiences in running. I started listening to 4 Feet Running -- the show's hosts are running couple Nik and Dan -- she's done 4 marathons and training for her 5th while Dan just finished a 10K. (I'm editing this as I discovered their blogsite -- http://4feerunning.blogspot.com/. The other site was unupdated. I'm adding them to my blogroll) They do a once a week podcast and the one I listened to included an actual race and some of their training thoughts. I'll start exploring other podcasts and see how interesting they could be. I've seen some training related podcasts as well.
