  Spring is slowly arriving and running gets easier and more enjoyable as days gets longer and warmer. I hope you all are well and up for a run in my neighburhood. Let´s go, and for a short while pretend that things are normal. The woods are, and the getting tired when running fast is.Why not stick to that for a moment and, in a way, escape from stuff together with me.Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

Running the Narrow Path

RtNP#85 I Wonder if I Can

I am running again and I am enjoying it so much. In order to get my old shape back I am following the Galloway Customized Training Plan. So far everything is going well and the fact that I have a plan to follow and scheduled training to do, has really helped me to be more disciplined. Weekly video chats with my coach Chris Twiggs and a bunch of running friends answers many questions and keeps motivation on a high level. In this episode of my podcast I talk mostly about my recent running experience and also some thoughts on what it is like to follow this plan. I'm only in the early stage yet and still learning but so far it has been great. Signing up to CTP seemes to have been the right thing for me to do to recapture my old habit.Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#84 All About Me

Hello, I'm back with another recording. Unfortunately this one is a bit unstructured and unfocused. I tried to improve the content when editing but I'm not sure I succeeded. I did cut out half an hour of talking about projects at work. You probably ought to thank me for that. Even I found that utterly boring. I hope that what remains in the audio is worth listening to.Some time have passed between recording and publishing this but I've been busy training. Yes training, as in running several times a week. You get a glimpse of why in this episode and more reports will follow in upcoming ones.Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#83 Unstructured

Hi, everyone. I´m back. Sorry for being gone for such a long time. Hopefully things like running and podcasting will now slowly return to a more regular schedule.This was recorded on a walk on a grey day and will perhaps be a start in bringing back the old habits.I hope you still subscribe or I'll be really only talking to myself here...Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#82 the Return

This time you can join me on a great summer run on both known and unknown narrow paths.For me this was one of the most enjoyable runs I've done in a long time. Hopefully this recording can transmit some of the good feelings to you aswell.

RtNP#81 Scared by Deer

Another episode with quite a long timespan between recording and publishing. The weather has changed a lot during this time and things I talk about as plans have already occured. Sorry about that but I didn't want to throw the recording away so here it is. If nothing else as a document of times passed.The birds I mentioned but didn't have the English name for were a Tofsvipa and the dictionary has several names for it but maybe Northern Lapwing would be something you recognize. At least if you live in Europe. They don't seem to exist elsewhere.The second one was a Gräsand - a Mallard and they are probably well known all over the northern hemisphere and maybe even in some parts of Australia.Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#80 Turbulent Weeks

The timespan from recording to publishing is unusually long this time - sorry. It will all be explained in my next episode. Until then I hope you'll enjoy this one. This time I'll take you along for a run on the bikepath aswell as a run on dark roads. Two runs for the price of one in this anniversary episode. We will talk some about the fact that it is ten (10) years since I started podcasting and also a little about my running and my current situation. Pretty much the usual stuff. I hope you'll join me on my runs.Music: the Nova String Quartet - Invincible  (3:05)  Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#78 Moussaka

Hello again, I'm back with another episode of this podcast. As usual the content is recorded on a run. It is somewhat unstructured and mostly about my own thoughts and current situation. No subjects of real importance are being discussed. For me, however, it is a chance to have a moment of chatting with good friends. Just as we would do if you were here running with me. Let's go for a run.Music: Indigo - Oceans of Regret  (3:35)     Facebook     SoundCloudIntro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#77 Half Streak

 Here is a short update on my current situation. More audio will follow shortly. No need to panic, all is well, I just haven't been podcasting - or running. I'm slowly working my way back to both activities now.Intro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#76 An Unstructured Update

In this episode you can hear me talk about a change of plans, a quick review of the backpack, my training and a few other things from my summer horizon. If you can hear me through the wind noise that is. This was recorded on a very windy day when I almost was blown off the trail. The audio also contains a few animal spottings. I hope you'll enjoy it.Music: Indigo - Rain / River  (4:55)     Facebook     SoundCloudIntro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#74 I've Been Busy

Spring is slowly arriving here. In fact it seems to arrive slower than usual this year.My running and training is also a little slower than I would like at the moment but hopefully I'll be able to speed it up. In this episode I invite you to join me on an improvised expedition on new narrow paths with magical views.Music: Indigo - Falling  (3:16)     Facebook     SoundCloudIntro music: Matthew Ebel - Lost My Way      www.matthewebel.comContact me by e-mail (address in link to the right) or post a comment below.Subscribe to this podcast by using the links to the right.Listen to this episode here.

RtNP#72 A Very Pleasant Run

Hi, remember me? It's been way too long since I uploaded something. I have had quite a few recording problems that unfortunately haven't been completely solved but here is, finally, a recording, or some of the audible parts from a recording. I hope the pieces left in here still makes sense.  My running hasn't been that great over the winter but I guess I can't blame anything but a tight schedule and laziness for that. I'm determined to get back to the habit so hopefully this episode will be followed by another one rather soon. That's my plan anyway. This was recorded some time ago but I was unable to get the editing done until now.
