Steve Runner was part of the 110th running of the Boston Marathon in April of 2006. He doesn’t have the normal race report to share because Steve is the host/producer of a running podcast called Phedippidations:
A PodCast for, and by runners: Thoughts, opinions, observations and rambling diatribes composed during distance long runs. Steve Runner is a mild mannered middle-of-the-pack distance runner who shares the output of his oxygen starved cranial stimulation with his audience while training for his next marathon. Phedippidations is a RunCast named after the legendary Greek messenger: Phedippides. A modern day messenger of sorts; Steve runs near his home in Central Massachusetts. Each show is dedicated to an aspect of running, covering topics such as: training, injury, gadgets, nutrition, strategies and Steve’s pathetic attempts at breaking four hours in the marathon.
Steve, in a series of podcasts, goes through his pre-race, race and post-race experiences of the marathon. Episode 40 of the podcast, tours the marathon course and details some of historical highlights of this high profile running event. Episodes 41 and 41b records Steve while running (he runs with a microphone and recorder) the event… everything from pre-race excitement to trying to put the train back on course and just cross the finish line. Post marathon memeories, recovery and analysis are covered in Episodes 42 and 43.
