the next mile
United States
Приєднався 24 бер 2020
I've always been driven to find my limits, to push myself to that next mile. I'm also passionate about helping other people achieve their goals.
My experiences in running marathons and ultra-marathons has led me to specialize in running related injuries in my Physical Therapy profession.
On the next mile we will focus on training ideas to improve your performance and injury prevention tips to help you get back on the road or trail. Along the way I'll share some of my running adventures.
Train hard, recover smart, and make the next mile better than the last one.

Training for the Badwater 135: Unofficial 2023 Badwater Training Camp
I had the opportunity to go out to Death Valley and train on the course in preparation for the 2023 Badwater 135.
I mentioned it to Jeff (who will be one of my crew members) and he was excited to jump in and go with me.
It turned out to be a great experience. I learned a lot of things that I think will help me come race day.
I also got to run part of the course during the day that I will only see at night on race day, so it was fun to be able to enjoy the views along that section.
I can't wait for the race! There will be struggles, but that's why we are there.
Train hard,
Recover smart,
Make your next mile better than the last one!

Training for the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon. Two months until the race, a training update.

I was fortunate to get into Badwater this year! I started preparing in January hoping that I would get accepted. Between some crazy times at work and trying to build up my miles while also including deliberate heat exposure, I have not had time for any updates. But is now 2 months until the race so I though I would put together a quick update. I hope to put together a series of very short video...

Conquer the Rock 50k

Conquer the Rock is a beautiful and tough 50k race in Pickens, South Carolina. My wife and several of our friends had done this race before. This was my first time on the course. My wife had told me the descents were challenging. I did understand how challenging the section descending from Table Rock Summit would really be, but it was also a ton of fun. The race was well organized and the cours...
Tahoe 200 A Beautiful Struggle

Tahoe 200: A Beautiful Struggle In 2016 I paced and crewed my friend Mike Else at the Western States Endurance Run. We rented a house in South Lake Tahoe for the trip and I got on the Tahoe Rim Trail for the first time. I loved everything about it. The experience stayed with me and ever since I had thoughts of running a race on the TRT. The 200 seemed like a fabulous idea. One big loop, all the...

I've been hitting peak mileage and the fatigue has led to some difficult moments during my runs. I've just kept pushing through it and have had some good success by the end of the run.

Practicing the Long Run

Today's run was about pacing, hiking, and eating. What is it that you work on during your long runs? Some of my runs may be about even, slow pacing. Other times I'm working on a negative split or a progressive run. Some runs are more about nailing some of the logistics like shoe choices, anti-chafe products, what shirt feels best, maybe considering a sock change or a different pack. There have ...

Hip strengthening for runners: Gluteus Medius. Improve running form and reduce risk of injury.
Переглядів 1373 роки тому
The Gluteus Medius helps maintain the alignment of the pelvis, hip, and knee when impacting the ground during the running stride. It is an important muscle for proper running mechanics. The monster walk is a simple, yet very effective, exercise to strengthen the Gluteus Medius. It's a closed kinetic chain exercise (weight is on your leg) so it mimics the same conditions where the Gluteus Medius...
Core strengthening for runners

Great video!! I’m training to run the Bear this fall. If all goes well I’ll be the second youngest finisher of all time at the age of 17. I plan to make a video similar to this to show my experience.
@@TheWolfThatRuns that’s awesome! I hope you have a great experience out there. Best of luck in your training and your race. I’m 2/3 at the Bear now. It is a wonderful race and I’m sure I’ll be back again.
Awesome video, just a question regarding wearing a hat , does that keep you cooler as i strugle running marathons in the heat ?
It is protection from the sun, but I don’t think the hat really kept me cooler except when I would get it wet or throw ice under it. The sun is brutal.
@@thenextmile thanks for reply, great video btw👍👍
Hey Todd, great video, man. We ran together for a little while at the Bear. Looks like we were leap-frogging quite a bit at Tahoe without knowing it. I hit all the same landmarks with roughly the same amount of daylight - but I slept longer at each aid station. Great job putting it together. How'd the Bear go?
I enjoyed running with you for a bit at the Bear. It was great to catch up and compare our Tahoe adventures. I suffered with the altitude at the Bear and finished with just 13 minutes to spare. But what a beautiful couple of days we had. How did your race go at the Bear?
Great video
You don’t mention your feet!!
Hot, but otherwise no real foot issues. Shoes definitely start feeling more squishy on the hot road.
Best of luck!!
Another video with music drowning out the audio at annoying frequency.
Ok to clarify. 04:08 he says 'warm but not very hot' it was 97-100 degrees at the latter part of day 3 to Hoover Dam. . Shows the heat training is working when someone says those temps were warm and not that hot 😆😆
That is a good point. Lol
Thanks!!
Lovely place.
Wow. What a massive challenge. Good luck.
I've been a physio in Australia for 25+ years. THis is the closest I've seen on youtube to what I have adopted. I've tried a dozen variations taught by various reputable physios, and the use of tear drops initially then lateral strips, is what I have found to be most comfortable, durable, and therapeutic.
I think just about everyone has their own take on it. But this is what I have had the most success with. I’ll vary it depending on the individual patient. Maybe add more or less tension on the teardrops and lateral strips. Occasionally I’ll vary the number of teardrops.
Great video, thank you for sharing your experience! Beautiful shots! I'm impressed you didn't suffer Tahoe Lung like many of the rest of us.
Thanks for watching! I love your videos and watch every one you put out there. The dry air and dust were rough but luckily didn’t seem to effect me too bad.
Congratulations and thanks for sharing! What did your training weeks consist of ? Did you cross train ? Weights?
I built up to 80-100 miles per week for a few weeks at peak, then mileage dropped as I integrated more hiking and treadmill incline work (so flat around here). I continue karate training so that is most of my "cross training". I always take some time between training cycles to work on strength and mobility again, but this tends to drop off as I hit higher mileage weeks.
A different breed ❤️
Just came across your channel and subscribed! Great video my friend. Beautiful race and very inspiring. I'm looking forward to your other/future videos. Watching your Conquer the Rock 50k video next.
Thanks! I look forward to checking out your videos!
Great video. I'm so excited for Friday!
Have a wonderful run!! Enjoy the beauty.
Good job documenting this race! It was fun to relive it all over again. Pretty cool to be featured in someone else’s race video! Hope to cross paths again soon!
It was great to share so many miles on the trail together. Looking forward to following your 100 mile journey.
Another job well done!! Amazing super group of runners!!!
Thanks!
Awesome journey and thanks for sharing!

Very inspiring and beautiful video, brother. You're amazing.
Thank you!! Tahoe is an amazing place.
I’m training to run Bear next year. I really appreciate this video. Thank you for making it and sharing your adventure and resilient spirit with us. Cheers from Washington, DC.
Great video! So looking forward to running in 2022 after crewing in 2019 and 2021!
Hope your race went well. I was out with Suzi again this year. She had a great race and we had a great time even in the heat of Panamint Valley.
Learning to manually adjust my ileocecal valve changed my life. I had horrible problems for years, including invasive tests and medications, until a naturopath taught me how to do this. Here's a basic description: The ileocecal valve is a sphincter muscle situated at the junction of the ileum (last portion of your small intestine) and the colon (first portion of your large intestine). Its function is to allow digested food materials to pass from the small intestine into your large intestine. One caveat: the longer you wait to make the adjustment the harder it is to get it to help. I hope this is the magic bullet for you,, it was for me. Not a cure, but damn good management.
I noticed the scar on her neck. I have the same scar. Mine is from full thyroidectomy from Graves disease. I wonder what struggles she has if any because of the surgery. I'm currently training for my first 50k right now in south Florida.
I hope your 50k goes well!! Best of luck!
A nice experience from the couch. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks!
135 miles converts to 388,544 steps approximately. That's just one fact of the race, maybe not even the most critical part, if someone said she's not human I could believe it.
Enjoyed the video. Great job!
Congratulations Suzi and team! Great film!
Thank you!
🙌🏻👊🏻🙌🏻👊🏻
Congratulations Suzi and Team! Great video Todd.
Thanks Jeff! It was quite an honor to be there and play a small role in helping Suzi to the finish.
Such an amazing accomplishment. Appreciate seeing and hearing the struggle and the determination to push through!!! Wow! Just Wow!
Suzi definitely earned that buckle. She’s an inspiration.
So awesome!
Badwater is definitely a special event and Suzi is pretty amazing.
Would this also be beneficial for our karate stances like keba and shiko dachi? Would it aid in depth, or would it be counterproductive?
The glutes help us lock into our stance. It would be great for not only improving our stances but also getting more mobile with our kogeki. Most of our drive when attacking comes from Gluteus Maximus and Gluteus Medius along with the calf muscles.
@@thenextmile Thank you! I have bands for the dojo and have been meaning to put them to work. We'll definitely include this.
Sub 24 hour goal accomplished……23:51. Congratulations Todd!
Thanks to you and Erin!!
You got this brother. 👊
Thank you my friend! Everything’s done now. Just a little dinner and hopefully some sleep.
Great message. I'm Chad's buddy. The one he was going to go to CO with. Good luck on your upcoming race. I hope the conditions there are good for you guys. I look forward to see the pictures.
Thanks so much. Fires in the area are putting the race in jeopardy. Hopefully it gets contained in time for the race and for the sake of all the residents in the area.
Where’s that bridge @ 0:45 ?

Great job!!! Love the inspiration and videos!
Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing. I’ll be experiencing the Bear in a month.
It’s a great race. I will be out crewing for my wife this year. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy every moment.
@@thenextmile Thanks. I may see you then. Best of luck to your wife.
like the video! food for thought, instead of cutting to yourself by the water to commentate just keep video of the race going while you voice over and maybe some simple graphics at certain miles 10,20 etc :P keep it up!
Thanks. Always happy to get some input. That was actually my initial plan, but I didn't have enough good footage from the race. I have to remember to record more video while I'm out there.
Love it!!!
Great attitude, inspiring!
Thanks! Looking forward to new adventures this year.
