It’s a one of a kind show that spot lights the marathon and marathon runners. Maniacs have found a safe haven with this great show. A few times a week Joe broadcast the show live online, the shows are then made available to download from iTunes (via Podcast). Each week Joe features a marathoner, and often does shout outs to marathoners from all over. Another great part of this show is the “runners chat”, in these shows Joe gets three marathoners together and does a round table discussion about many great topics. So if you have already come across the show, please do.

Matt Manning (#585) – New Las Vegas Marathon (La Vegas, NV) – December 10, 2006 – Age 40 I trained for my first marathon, Chicago '04, with little expectation. As a 38 year old 20+ year smoker who was unable to run a mile non-stop in 2000 (the year I quit), I knew that just finishing 26 miles would be an amazing accomplishment. I trained using a very basic Hal Higdon structured program and finished my first marathon in 4:23:44. Man, oh man, was that hard. I thought 'never again'. However, by the time I got home from Chicago I was thinking about it... maybe just one more... I started looking for my next marathon. I chose the old Las Vegas International Marathon in January '05. I recovered from Chicago, built a new 3 month training schedule, and decided to try and BQ in my 2nd race! I met up with 2 online running buddies who were also going for <3:16 and we took off together at the start. The winds were blowing hard that day out of the north, and the course was point to point... heading north. Buddy one dropped off pace before mile 8. I fell off pace at mile 14. Buddy two nailed it. I finished in 3:49:48... no BQ, but a massive PR! I felt great afterward with very little soreness, so I thought I could shave off another 30 minutes if I ran another marathon soon... so I ran Austin 2 weeks later... starting at BQ pace, and ending at mile 20 with cramps in places I didn't even know I had muscles! DNF. Over the next year I ran 3 more marathons, but all were slower than my 3:49. It seemed I would never get close to a BQ time! Then, in May '06, I ran the Flying Pig in 3:32 (unexpectedly). This renewed my interest in a BQ. I had just turned 40 and now only needed a <3:21. I trained HARD that summer for Chicago '06. I ran a mile time trial in 5:18. I ran a 5K time trial in 18:34. I got my weight down to 165 and was READY! The weather on race day was cold and windy, but great for marathon running.
