Melissa Jones has been to all fifty states, forty countries and counting. She’s a designer, photographer, and runner. Melissa is here to share some of her travelling tips, which include how to blend in (and not look like a tourist!), how to stay safe (particularly for women), and what must-see areas to visit in Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Australia, and Cambodia. As women, we discuss a couple of our encounters and what we’ve learned from them—most importantly that you have to listen to your gut—oh, and that you should check travel warnings. We discuss some of Melissa’s favorite places to run, as well as how to take the perfect picture.

Our Runner of the Week is Jody Geibl, who is part of the Badgerland Striders and the 50 States Marathon Club. Jody shares how to dress in sub-zero-degree-Fahrenheit temperatures (she’s from Wisconsin, so she has some cred!), one of the nicest things that the Des Moines Marathon does for its runners, and what races to check out in Milwaukee. We also gush about our “crush” on Dan Jansen, the Olympic speed skater who broke a world record in the 1994 Olympic 1000-meter race. Side note: Dan’s best distance was the 500-meter race. There’s nothing like the saying, “You don’t know until you toe the line!”

Serena Marie, RD, is here to explain why hemp seeds are such a better choice versus eating chia or flax seeds. Hemp seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids from ALA (alpha-Linolenic acid), similar to chia and flax seeds, meaning it is not a very "useable" form in the human body (bioavailability is around 5%). The advantage of choosing hemp over chia or flax is that it provides two and a half times more protein per serving than chia with 10 grams of protein per three tablespoons.

Dean Karnazes is back to share his latest journeys to Haiti, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. Dean’s experiences in these countries are through the lens of a sports ambassador this time, which is an all-new experience for him! He hopes that this is just the beginning of his goal to run a marathon in every country in the world in one year. Dean talks about his latest book, The Road to Sparta: Reliving the Ancient Battle and Epic Run That Inspired the World's Greatest Footrace, debunks a big myth about the marathon distance, shares his experiences running in Wisconsin, explains what could be a challenge in the quest to “run the world,” and what he would recommend for someone wanting to follow their passion and work in the running industry. Serena Marie, RD, discusses why what runners eat is so important because of oxidative stress that they put on their bodies. She also highlights what foods to focus on for fuel.

Also, it’s that time of year when we all make resolutions and goals. One of the best ways to achieve your goal is to be a part of a group. Research shows that many people learn best from each other. Here at The Running Lifestyle Show, we would like to offer you a special Coaching and Accountability Goals group exclusively for listeners only. The group will include four weeks of a weekly online meeting with Kari, plus members will be paired up with accountability partners. The price is $100, and the group is capped at ten participants total. E-mail Kari at Kari@TheRunningLifestyle.com for more information or to sign up!
