5th Anniversary Flashback RED Episode #121: A Conversation with Jeff Galloway About Summer Running & Dunedin Brewery

It's our 5th Anniversary this month. As part of the celebration, we will post flashback episodes all month long to celebrate and say thank you. If it were not for you, our Runcation Nation community, we would not have had this show for the last five years, had some of the most amazing experiences, and created lasting friendships in this community.

Next up is another special interview with Jeff Galloway about hot weather running.  We thought: It's summer, it's hot, it's humid, and we have a  great coach whose timeless tips will get us through this part of our training season no matter the year.   

RUN

We are privileged to help celebrate our running coach’s 75th birthday this week!  Jeff Galloway, America’s Coach and ours, turns 75 on July 12th!  There is no way we could ever thank him for the inspiration, expertise, support, friendship, and love he has shown us.  We are so lucky to have him on the show this week.

First, we want to tell everyone about his 75th Birthday Challenge.   There are many ways to help him celebrate.  You can do 75 miles in July, 7.5 miles on July 12th, 75 laps around a track or 1/4-mile segments, or a 75-lap relay.  You get an official race number and website to log your miles and an e-certificate for completing your challenge!

Second, of course, we want to share his expertise.  The summer running season is upon us, and we need to run safely when we are outside.  The dramatic rise in heat and humidity requires us to train smart.  Jeff shares tips and tricks for combating the heat and being successful in the heart of the summer.

Here’s a link to his article recapping his tips for running in the heat.

EAT

Dunedin is a town that we were able to visit when we were away in Clearwater visiting family last month.  We were introduced to Dunedin Brewery during the Fit Foodie Run on Episode 14 of our show.  Their brewery is so beautiful.  It looks like a castle set back in the Medieval Times.  There is seating indoors, the tanks where they brew their delicious beer, and well-shaded outdoor seating.  We had Fried Pretzel Bites with Brown Ale Mustard and Beer Cheese.    They were so tasty.  The pretzel was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside with just the right amount of salt.  The mustard was tangy, and the beer cheese was warm, melty, and just the right amount of bite in flavor.  

DRINK

Dunedin Brewery also has terrific beer.  We had the Apricot Peach and the air. Pilsner.  They were full of flavor, light, crisp, and refreshing for a hot summer day.  Both were inexpensive at $6 and $5 for a 16-ounce pour, and they were sessionable offerings at 6.2 and 4.2 ABV.  Stay awhile!  We wanted to have much more of their beer menu.

THAT’S A WRAP!
