I’m really excited about my guest today. I got to host this interview in person at my house, which was really, really fun!

She tells us a story about running a 5:09 mile in sixth grade. What?! Crazy fast.After CU, she went on to run professionally and had a sponsorship with Oiselle for a while. Now she is an unsponsored athlete. You’ll see her running in a Bandit kit right now, and she shares more about that in this episode. She also works full time, recently moved to Flagstaff, and continues to pursue her running dreams.Madie has competed in two Olympic Trials, in 2021 and 2024, in the steeplechase. She’s coached by Julie Benson and has big dreams ahead of her.She told me in this episode that placing seventh at USAs was about where she thought she might land, and instead, she walked away with a bronze medal. So it’s really, really exciting to see what’s happening for her right now. She also recently won the Brooklyn Mile and is competing in the Sir Walter Miler.I’m so excited to share Madie’s story with you, continue cheering for her, and see where this journey goes.

I’m so excited to share this conversation with Ryan Montgomery, who placed third at Western States this year in a huge breakthrough race. The top three men all broke Jim Walmsley’s previous course record, with Ryan running 13:53. This was his fourth consecutive year running Western States after placing seventh twice, and to say this was a breakthrough is a bit of an understatement. Being in the top 10 at Western States is a huge deal, but being on the podium is an even bigger deal.
We talk about Ryan’s history with running, how he fell in love with long distances, and the journey it took to get to this level. A lot of people might not know that his first 100-mile race took him 28 hours. The process he’s walked through to achieve these really high-level goals is fascinating. He is truly dedicated to the craft.
We also get into the backstory of Ryan’s life and so much more. He set the FKT on the Wonderland Trail in 2020, placed second at the Javelina 100 in 2021, and recently earned his MBA from Dartmouth.
I don’t always get off an interview feeling like I really know a person, and I really felt like I knew Ryan at the end of this conversation. I loved this one so much.
Ryan is also the founder of Out Trails and shares more about that in this conversation. We’ll link all of the resources we talk about in the show notes.

We talk about growing up on a hobby farm, being coached by her dad, winning 13 Kansas state titles, competing for Iowa State, making Team USA for the World Cross Country Championships, and working back from injury. Cailie also shares how she’s approaching the U.S. Outdoor Championships, why she’s taking fueling more seriously than ever, and announces that she’ll be making her marathon debut this fall.

Fresh off a record-breaking performance at the 2026 Western States 100, Jennifer Lichter joins the podcast to share the story behind one of the most impressive breakthroughs in ultrarunning.
Jenn won Western States in 15:28:05, breaking Courtney Dauwalter’s course record in her very first 100-mile race. Just a few months earlier, she won Black Canyon 100K and set another course record in her debut at that distance.
In this conversation, Jenn reflects on the race itself, the mindset it took to stay present over 100 miles, and how she handled the pressure of chasing history. She also opens up about her childhood in Colombia, being adopted and moving to the United States, and how those experiences shaped the resilience and gratitude that define both her life and her running.
We also talk about training with coach John Fitzgerald, her nutrition strategy, racing after battling a stomach bug just days before Western States, and what comes next as she looks toward the future.

Today we’re continuing the Female Founder Series, and it wouldn’t be a series about women entrepreneurs in the running space without welcoming Erica Sara from Erica Sara Designs.
Erica has been part of this running community for a long time. She’s been creating jewelry for runners since before I even started this podcast. She’s the official jeweler for the New York City Marathon and the Every Woman’s Marathon, and she designs every piece from her home studio while also raising two kids and continuing to run marathons herself.
In this conversation, we talk about entrepreneurship, motherhood, running, creativity, and what it’s been like to build Erica Sara Designs into such a beloved brand within the running community. This is actually Erica’s fourth time on the podcast, and I know you’re going to enjoy catching up with her.
Be sure to check out Erica’s beautiful work at EricaSara.com, and thanks so much for being here. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Erica Sara.

Rachael Rudel is having one of the biggest breakthrough seasons in American distance running. After years away from elite racing, she’s back in a big way. This spring she became the top American woman at both the Boulder Boulder and the B.A.A. 10K, finished second overall at the B.A.A. 10K in a personal best 31:31, placed runner-up at the USATF 4 Mile Championships, and broke the course record at the Horsetooth Half Marathon.
Rachael shares the story behind her journey, from battling an eating disorder that stemmed from an undiagnosed case of celiac disease, to making the difficult decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy after testing positive for the BRCA gene mutation. She talks openly about rebuilding her relationship with running, returning to competition after nearly a decade away from the elite level, and why she believes she’s still only scratching the surface of her potential.
We also dive into her work with Front Range Elite, training under coach David Roche and now recently beginning to work with agent Josh Cox, balancing a demanding full-time career alongside professional-level racing, and what’s next as she eyes the marathon and beyond.

Today we’re continuing the Female Founder Series with author, podcaster, and co-founder of Another Mother Runner, Dimity McDowell.
Dimity was one of the first people I really knew in the running space over a decade ago when I started dipping my toes into podcasting and becoming part of the broader running community beyond my hometown of Indianapolis. Alongside her co-founder, Sarah Bowen Shea, she helped create a movement with Another Mother Runner by providing support, encouragement, and connection to women around the country and around the world. That community continues today, and Another Mother Runner has recently found a new home with Feisty Media.
As Dimity entered a new season in her own athletic journey, she wrote a beautiful book called The 27th Mile: How to Smooth the Rough Transition Out of the Running Years. She’s a former contributing editor at Runner’s World, and through this book she’s supporting anyone whose relationship with running is beginning to change.
As I’ve navigated my own injury and foot surgery, this book helped me feel a little less alone. Watching other people accomplish incredible things while wondering what my own future in running might look like has been emotional, and I think learning to accept change is an important part of the process. In The 27th Mile, Dimity reckons with her decision to stop running, grieves leaving behind a sport she deeply loved, and shares how she rediscovered purpose, connection, and those endorphins on the other side.
I love Dimity’s heart and everything she’s done for women in the running community over the years. And I’ll tell you what, interviewing another podcaster is always fun because they know how to have a great conversation.
If you’re in any kind of transition with your own running journey, I highly recommend checking out The 27th Mile.
Thanks so much for being here, and I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dimity McDowell.

Western States is here, and I couldn’t think of a better guest to have on the podcast than Canyon Woodward.
Canyon has quietly become one of the most exciting athletes in trail running. He became the first ultrarunner to earn three consecutive top-five finishes at Western States Golden Ticket races in a single season, finishing third at the 2025 Javelina 100, fourth at the 2026 Black Canyon 100K, and fifth at the 2026 Canyons 100K. His progression at UTMB has been just as impressive, climbing from 48th place in 2022 to 13th place in 2025.
But Canyon’s story goes far beyond racing. He grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina, was homeschooled, spent part of his childhood in the remote community of Stehekin, Washington, and now balances elite ultrarunning with environmental advocacy and political organizing. He also co-authored the book Dirt Road Revival.
This was such a thoughtful conversation. We talk about growing up immersed in the outdoors, his journey into elite trail running, preparing for his Western States debut, and why he believes “stacking bricks” applies just as much to life and community as it does to training.
A big thank you to Mount to Coast for connecting me with Canyon. He’s sponsored by Mount to Coast and will be racing Western States in one of their trail shoes this weekend.
If you’re enjoying the podcast, I’d love for you to leave a rating and review. It helps more people discover the show.
Thanks for being here, and enjoy my conversation with Canyon Woodward.
What we talked about:
- Growing up in western North Carolina and Stehekin, Washington
- How homeschooling and outdoor adventures shaped his life

In this conversation, Paige shares the story behind Noogs, what it took to bring the product to market, how she and her husband Ben built the business together, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Paige is thoughtful, honest, resilient, and incredibly fun. I know you’re going to love getting to know the woman behind the brand.

Today, we’re kicking off a brand-new Female Founded Series on the podcast, and I couldn’t be more excited.
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be sitting down with women who have built incredible businesses from the ground up. These are women who saw a problem, believed there was a better way, and went all in to create something meaningful.
Our first guest is Jennifer Doll, founder of HUUG.
Jennifer has more than 25 years of experience in the apparel industry and has worked for brands including Victoria’s Secret, Target, Spanx, and Vanity Fair. After years of designing products for other companies, she saw an opportunity to solve a problem women everywhere know well: finding a bra that is actually comfortable, supportive, and functional for everyday life.
The result is HUUG, a line of thoughtfully designed bras and underwear that eliminate many of the frustrations women have come to expect. No removable pads. Comfortable support. Durable construction. Pieces designed to move with you through everyday life.
Jennifer is also a marathoner, a mom of four, and someone who understands firsthand the role movement and community can play in our lives. In this conversation, we talk about her career journey, building HUUG from the ground up, what she learned working for major apparel brands, and the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship.
One of my goals with this series is to introduce you to incredible female-founded businesses that are creating products worth supporting, and Jennifer is a perfect person to kick things off.

Today on the podcast, I’m excited to welcome Megan Eckert.
Meg recently finished third overall among women at the 2025 Cocodona 250, running one of the fastest times in race history. She’s an ultrarunner, coach, teacher, and one of the most accomplished endurance athletes in the sport. In 2025, she ran 603 miles, surpassing 600 miles in six days and setting a world record pending ratification. She also finished second at Badwater 135 and continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in ultrarunning.
One of the most fascinating parts of Meg’s story is that she didn’t discover running until she was 29 years old. What started with a goal of breaking two hours in her first half marathon quickly grew into a passion for ultras, trail running, and eventually some of the longest races in the world.
In this conversation, Meg shares how she approaches races as long as Cocodona, why she focuses on competing against herself rather than other runners, how she balances teaching sixth-grade math with elite ultrarunning, and what she’s learned from spending days at a time moving through mountains, deserts, and remote wilderness.
We also talk about sleep strategy, hallucinations, training for six-day races, the value of recovery, and why she continues to pursue goals that have a real chance of failure.

Courtney Frerichs returns to the podcast for a conversation that goes far beyond racing. Courtney opens up about the difficult road back from major ankle and ACL surgeries, missing the 2024 Olympic Trials, and what it’s looked like to rebuild both physically and mentally over the past two years. She shares how stepping into a completely new chapter of her career has changed the way she approaches training, racing, and confidence.
We also go all the way back to Courtney’s early days growing up in Missouri, playing multiple sports, doing gymnastics at a high level, and discovering running later than most elite athletes. She reflects on the impact her college coach had on her life and career, what made their relationship so special, and how those lessons still shape her today. Courtney also talks about moving to Park City, joining Ed Eyestone’s group, racing with freedom again, and the mindset shift that helped her run her fastest 5K in over two years at the USATF 5K Championships.
Topics Discussed:
- Returning to racing after ACL and ankle surgeries
- Rebuilding confidence after injury
- Letting go of comparisons to past versions of herself
- Missing the 2024 Olympic Trials

Andrew Colley joins me on the podcast after winning the USATF 25K Championships in Grand Rapids, Michigan, just six weeks after he and his wife Tristin welcomed their daughter Lily June into the world.

Andrew is a 2:09 marathoner, a three-time Team USA World Cross Country representative, and a longtime member of the ZAP Endurance team under coach Pete Rea. We talk about his recent marathon PR in Seville, why he feels there’s still a much bigger breakthrough coming, and what’s changed in his approach to the marathon over the years.
We also get into life after sponsorship changes, staying patient through the ups and downs of professional running, and what motivates him as both an athlete and now a new dad.

The conversation also dives into the themes of her book, including faith, identity, motherhood, and the emotional highs and lows of a decades-long career. Sara opens up about how her beliefs have evolved over time, how she’s navigated criticism, and why she chose to tell her story in her own voice.

I’m coming to you with a bonus episode recorded live in Indianapolis during an incredible weekend at the 500 Festival Indy Mini Marathon and the USATF 5K Championships. I had the opportunity to announce the 5K and witness a high-stakes race where the top two finishers were competing for a spot on the world championship team, which made the energy in the city so special.
The day before the race, I hosted a live podcast at the beautiful Bottleworks Hotel alongside my friend Ally Brettnacher from Finish Lines and Milestones. These Indy weekends have become such a fun tradition for us, bringing the running community together in a meaningful way.
We were joined by an amazing panel: Emma Grace Hurley, Drew Hunter, and Courtney Frerichs. Emma Grace is in the middle of a breakout season, recently breaking an American record and continuing to stack impressive performances. Drew just won the USATF 5K Championship race that weekend and shared insights from his journey as both a professional athlete and a dad. Courtney, an Olympic and world silver medalist, opened up about her return to racing after navigating major injuries and surgeries over the past couple of years.
And in true live-event fashion, we had a surprise moment when Jenny Simpson jumped on the mic for a quick cameo, which made the night even more special.
This event came together with the help of some incredible local partners, and the atmosphere was just so much fun. We had great food, a shoe decorating station, and a packed room of people who love this sport.
Quick note on the audio: since this was recorded live with wireless mics, it may not be as crisp as a typical episode, but the conversation and energy more than make up for it.
If you enjoy this episode, I’d love for you to leave a rating and review, and if you’re ever in Indy for these race weekends in May or November, come join us live.

She reflects on shifting priorities, redefining success, and what’s next as she considers stepping up to the marathon distance.
Rachel also opens up about the realities of training in a different season of life, the importance of community in Flagstaff, and how she’s approaching racing with a fresh perspective. It’s a thoughtful, honest look at growth, identity, and staying connected to the sport in a way that feels meaningful.

Carrie Elwood’s performance at the Boston Marathon turned heads across the running world. In just her sixth marathon, she placed 10th overall and finished as the fourth American, running a massive personal best of 2:22 after entering the race with a 2:31 PR.
Carrie is far from an overnight success. A former standout at the University of Colorado Boulder, her career has included years of injuries, time away from the sport, and a slow, intentional rebuild back to elite competition. After stepping away from running post-college to heal physically and mentally, she gradually returned, focusing on consistency, health, and rediscovering her love for the sport. That long-term approach has paid off. Now an American record holder in the 25K and the 2025 US Cross Country Champion, Carrie has steadily built toward this breakthrough moment.
In this conversation, Carrie shares what finally clicked in Boston. From a new coaching setup with Andrew Castor and the Mammoth Track Club, to dialing in race-day fueling and learning to trust herself at the front of the race, this episode captures the full story behind a defining performance.
She reflects on racing without fear, the years of setbacks that shaped her, and what it feels like to finally have the race she knew was possible.
What we talked about:
- Carrie’s breakthrough performance at the Boston Marathon
- Decision to race Boston without guarantees or support
- Racing mindset and staying present without checking pace
- Training changes under Andrew Castor
- Fixing marathon struggles through nutrition
- Leaving teaching to pursue running full-time
- Injury history and stepping away from the sport post-college
- Rebuilding slowly and sustainably over several years
- Confidence, self-belief, and racing at the front
- Breakdown of the Boston race and key moments on the course

Today on the podcast, I’m talking with Nathan Martin, fresh off his incredible win at the Los Angeles Marathon. This was one of the most exciting finishes we’ve seen in a long time, coming down to a dramatic lean at the line after 26.2 miles. It’s a moment you truly have to see to believe.
Nathan’s win brought a huge wave of media attention, including an appearance on the The Jennifer Hudson Show, which was so fun to watch. Beyond this breakthrough moment, Nathan has been building an impressive career for years. He holds a 2:10:45 marathon personal best and is the fastest American-born Black man in the marathon.
He placed seventh at the 2024 Olympic Trials Marathon and has also finished in the top 10 at the New York City Marathon. Nathan runs professionally for ASICS and is coached by James McCurdy. Outside of racing, he’s a high school track and cross country coach and works as a substitute teacher, all while continuing to chase big goals in the marathon.
I’m really grateful he took the time to come on the show, especially with how busy things have been for him lately. This is a fun and inspiring conversation with an athlete who is just getting started on what feels like a really exciting chapter.
What we discussed:
- Adjusting to sudden media attention after LA Marathon win
- Becoming the fastest American-born Black marathoner and what that means
- Authenticity vs. performance on social media
- Breaking down the LA Marathon finish and final sprint
- Experience with major media appearances and interviews
- 2024 Olympic Trials marathon and racing through extreme fatigue

Today on the podcast, I am talking with Jonathan Western, and this is a really special conversation leading into Boston Marathon weekend.
Jonathan is a 2:46 marathoner who has truly built his running journey over time. He ran his first half marathon in 2012 and his first marathon in 2014, and then really found consistency around 2017 to 2018. Since then, he has fully embraced the sport.
This will be his eighth consecutive Boston Marathon, and this year he is taking it to another level by running the Double Boston. He has completed 16 marathons and 21 ultras, and he is someone who clearly loves to challenge himself in big ways.
We talk about his life as a runner, raising an active family alongside his wife Christine, who is also running Boston this year, and how running has become such a constant in his life.
Jonathan also shares about a personal hardship he has walked through and how running has always been there for him through it. That thread really carries through this entire conversation and gives a deeper look into why he shows up the way he does.
I love talking to everyday runners, and while Jonathan may not call himself elite, celebrating your 40th birthday with a 100-mile run definitely says otherwise. He brings so much perspective, resilience, and passion to the running community, and I’m really excited for you to hear his story.
What we discussed:
- Double Boston challenge (running the course twice)
- Boston Marathon approach vs running for time vs experience
- Marathon PR (2:46) and race breakdown at Boston
- First marathon experience and early running journey
- Running with his wife and family life balance
- Jigger Johnson 100 attempt and embracing difficult races
- Road vs trail running and seasonal training approach
- Loss of his son Cooper and running through grief

- Mindset: pursuing hard things and reframing failure

The brand’s approach reflects a commitment to endurance, creativity, and meeting runners where they are, whether that’s chasing a personal best or taking on something entirely outside the norm.
Previnex — I’ve been using their Muscle Health formula and I love that it combines creatine monohydrate with BCAAs and essential amino acids to support strength, recovery, and muscle maintenance. They just released a new citrus flavor that’s really refreshing, and it’s formulated to improve amino acid absorption and protein synthesis. I also take Previnex Gut & Greens every day and swear by it. Codes you can use: LINDSEYSUPERFOODS when Gut & Green is in cart; otherwise ANOTHER or LINDSEYSTRENGTH for Muscle Health at previnex.com.

Today on the podcast, I am so excited to welcome Jenny Simpson back to the show. She has been on the podcast several times, and it has been really special to talk with her at different points in her life and career.
We recorded this episode in person at the Fleet Feet headquarters in Carrboro, which is just a short drive from my home in Raleigh. Getting to sit down face to face made this conversation feel even more meaningful.
Jenny recently stepped into a new role as the first Chief Running Officer at Fleet Feet, and we talk about what that transition has been like. We also reflect on her career, from being a world champion and Olympic bronze medalist in the 1500 meters to the many experiences she has had since stepping away from professional racing.
We talk about her seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, the RV trip she and her husband took across the country visiting running stores and communities in every state, and how those experiences have shaped what she is doing now.
Jenny is one of those people who makes you feel seen. She shows up fully in conversation, and you can feel how deeply she cares about people and the running community. I know you are going to feel that in this episode.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jenny Simpson.

Today on the podcast, I’m talking with Erin Ton. Erin is a professional mountain runner and endurance athlete who has built a remarkable life around chasing fastest known times all over the world. She has close to 200 FKTs to her name, with efforts that range from all-out sub-hour mountain pushes to 24-plus hour and multi-day adventures.
In this conversation, Erin shares what draws her to this style of running and why she is so inspired by self-supported and unsupported efforts in the mountains. We talk about the beauty and challenge of moving through remote places alone, what it takes to prepare for these routes, and how she approaches safety, fear, and decision-making in extreme environments.
Erin also reflects on a recent trip to South America, where she set the short-course women’s speed record on Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America. She talks about the emotional side of these big efforts too, including what it feels like when an attempt does not go to plan, why some unfinished goals still keep calling her back, and how she has learned to sit with both success and failure.
This episode is a little different from the track, road, and marathon conversations I often have on the show, and that is exactly why I loved it. Erin’s story is full of adventure, perspective, and a deep love for wild places. I think you are going to really enjoy getting to know her.
Topics Discussed:
- What fastest known times are and the difference between supported, self-supported, and unsupported efforts
- Why Erin is drawn to self-supported and unsupported mountain efforts
- Her recent South America trip and setting the short-course women’s speed record on Aconcagua
- The difference between the short and long Aconcagua records
- How she trains for very different kinds of FKTs, from short mountain efforts to 24-plus hour and multi-day routes
- Strength training, nutrition, sleep, and the more structured side of her preparation
- Wilderness safety, gear, and learning to move safely in big mountain environments
- Managing fear and using visualization before committing to dangerous terrain
- Beautiful places she recommends, including the Atacama Desert in Chile and the Khumbu Valley in Nepal
- Living out of a van and what that lifestyle looks like in practice
- Her unfinished pursuit of Nolan’s and what repeated attempts have taught her
- Why she is more drawn to adventure-style mountain efforts than traditional racing
- Growing up in Colorado and how leaving home made her appreciate the mountains more
- The law school path she once imagined and how running became both an outlet and a calling
- The bigger goals she has for the future, including chasing women’s speed records on the Seven Summits
- Her encouragement to get outside, explore, and experience more of the world

Lindsey Butler joins the podcast after placing third in the 1500m at the USA Indoor Championships, earning a bronze medal in a stacked field behind Nikki Hiltz and Gracie Morris.
What makes this performance even more impressive is that Lindsey came into the race as the lowest seed and didn’t even know she was in the race until just days before. She made the most of the opportunity, putting herself right in the mix and even taking the lead during the race.
Lindsey is currently an unsponsored athlete, training in Blacksburg with her college coach at Virginia Tech while also working as an engineer.
She’s an NCAA champion and has been on a steady rise, running multiple personal bests over the past year, including a 4:20 mile at Fifth Avenue and 4:25 at the Sir Walter Mile.
This is a really exciting time in her career, and I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more of Lindsey moving forward.
Topics Discussed:
- USA Indoor Championships performance
- Racing as the last seed in a national final
- Taking the lead mid-race strategy
- Missing Worlds despite podium finish
- Unsponsored athlete experience
- Pursuing a pro contract

Emily Mackay joins me on the podcast after a huge moment in her career, winning her first national title in the 3000 meters at the USATF Indoor Championships. Emily is no stranger to the world stage. She competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics and is also a World Indoor bronze medalist, but capturing her first national title was a really special milestone. In this episode we talk all about that race, what it felt like to finally get that win, and what the moment meant after years of competing at such a high level.
Emily is sponsored by New Balance and currently trains with Union Athletics Club under coach Pete Julian. Last summer she made the move from Team New Balance Boston to Union Athletics Club, and we talk about that transition, what training has looked like in this new environment, and how the change has helped her continue to grow as an athlete.
We also talk about what’s next as Emily prepares to compete at the World Indoor Championships in the 3000 meters in Poland. It’s always fun catching up with Emily. This is actually her fourth time on the podcast, and it’s been incredible to follow her journey over the years and see the progression in her career.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Emily Mackay.

I sat down live in Napa Valley with Shannon Rowbury and Jessica Dorrington, co-authors of the new book Strong as a Mother. We recorded this conversation at the Napa Valley Marathon expo, and it centers on what it looks like to return to running after pregnancy, rebuild after injury, and support athletes through every stage of motherhood and performance.
Shannon is a three-time Olympian and Olympic bronze medalist in the 1500 meters. Her medal came years after the 2012 Olympic final, when multiple athletes ahead of her were later disqualified for doping. In this conversation, she reflects on that experience and the complicated reality of receiving an Olympic medal long after the race is over.
Jessica Dorrington is a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist and pelvic health physical therapist who works with many elite runners. She shares practical, grounded insight on postpartum recovery, pelvic health, and how athletes can safely return to running after pregnancy or injury.
Together, Shannon and Jess talk about the inspiration behind Strong as a Mother, why better education around postpartum recovery is so needed in sport, and how runners can approach their comeback with patience, perspective, and the right support. We also talk about Shannon’s career, the emotional complexity of elite competition, and the importance of understanding the body through every phase of life.
This episode is part of my weekend at the Napa Valley Marathon, where I had the chance to serve as race emcee and host conversations with athletes and leaders in the running community.
Topics covered:
- Longevity in running and what helps you keep running for decades
- Why consistency matters more than any one perfect week of training

- Shannon Rowbury’s femoral neck stress fracture in college and comeback to make her first Olympic team

- What happens to the abdominal wall and pelvic floor during pregnancy and postpartum
- Why more women are returning to elite running after having babies
- The lack of pregnancy and postpartum resources for athletes and why Strong as a Mother was written

Megan Sailor joins the show fresh off a huge breakthrough at CIM, where she placed third in the national championship marathon and ran 2:25:17 in her debut. Megan runs for the B.A.A. High Performance Team and she walks through what it looked like to finally step up to the marathon after spending years focused on the track and shorter road races.
Megan shares how pro running was not always the plan, why she considers herself more of a realist than a dreamer, and how the marathon move came at the right time after a stretch where training fitness was not translating to race results. We talk about learning to stop racing workouts, what changed when she began moving up in distance, and how a strong half marathon helped confirm she was heading the right direction.
We also get into life outside racing, including the unique dynamic of being a twin and having a built-in training partner, the fact that Megan and her husband live with her twin sister and her husband in Boston, and what they actually do to unwind when they are not training. Megan wraps with a message that sticks: you do not always get to choose the timing or even the event, but patience and trust can lead to the breakthrough you were hoping for.
Enjoy this episode with Megan!
Topics Discussed:
- Megan’s 2:25:17 marathon debut and 3rd at CIM (national championship)
- Joining and training with the B.A.A. High Performance Team
- Why the track was not clicking, and the shift away from racing workouts
- Building from half marathon success to marathon readiness
- Marathon training changes: mileage bump, longer workout volume, solo long runs
- CIM race strategy, pack decisions, and the late-race leg shutdown
- Fueling and bottle-grab chaos, plus her gel preferences
- Boston Marathon build: hills, strength on tired legs, and racing a stacked field
- Twin sister training dynamic, competitiveness, and support
- Boston winter stories and “space savers” street parking culture
- Life outside running: TV binges, baking, books, and future goals (dogs, international racing)
- Closing takeaway: patience, timing, and letting the right event find you

Olivia Markezich joins me on the podcast to talk steeplechase, the jump from college to pro running, and what it’s been like joining the On Athletics Club in Boulder.
Olivia runs with OAC out in Boulder and is sponsored by On. Olivia is a steeplechaser, and if you watched the 2024 Olympic Trials, you know exactly why this conversation matters. She took a real shot, put herself into second, and then fell near the finish in one of the most gutting moments of the meet. She was right there, in it, fighting for that team spot, and she opens up about what happened, what it felt like, and how she’s carried that experience forward instead of letting it define her.
Olivia’s story has been one surprise after another. She won the 2023 NCAA title in the steeplechase at Notre Dame, earned 10 All-American honors, and finished top three at seven NCAA championships. She also walked on to Notre Dame and eventually earned a full scholarship, which says a lot about how quickly her belief, consistency, and ceiling have grown.
This one is honest, gritty, and really fun. Olivia is all-in on seeing how far she can take this sport, and it’s hard not to walk away from this conversation believing she’s got some big breakthroughs ahead.
List of topics covered
- Training update and Achilles management after USA Cross Country
- Racing muddy cross country conditions and gutting out a tough day
- Choosing events outside the steeplechase, including a possible 1500 opener
- Non-championship year mindset and racing the Diamond League circuit
- 2024 season setbacks: mono, stress reaction, return to racing quickly
- 2024 Olympic Trials steeplechase fall: what happened and how she processed it
- Early pro experiences and learning to race on the world stage
- NIL with On, the pro recruiting process, and why OAC was the fit
- What she wanted in a pro group: altitude, team environment, structure
- Notre Dame walk-on story, scholarship, NCAA title, and changing expectations
- Family dynamic: twin sister rivalry and support, dad as a sounding board
- Finding steeplechase and winning her first pair of On shoes at Portland Track Festival
- OAC team culture: meeting six days a week, steeple work with Kelsey, training written by Dathan
- Building hobbies and community in Boulder: ceramics, cook club, reading, shows
- Balancing identity outside running and keeping it fun

Today’s episode is a special one. I got to sit down in person with Tristin Colley, formerly known as Tristin Van Ord, for a conversation that felt personal, honest, and really meaningful.
Tristin is a professional marathoner, a two-time Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier, and currently pregnant with her first child, a baby girl due this April. She made her marathon debut in 2019 running 2:40 and has steadily worked her way down to a 2:25 personal best, a testament to her patience, belief, and long-term commitment to the sport.
In this episode, Tristin and I talk about the many transitions she is navigating right now. From stepping away from the ZAP Endurance program following its recent closure, to moving with her husband Andrew to Raleigh, to entering motherhood while still holding big goals as a professional runner. She shares what this waiting season has looked like, emotionally and practically, as she explores sponsorship opportunities and imagines her return to racing post-baby.
We also talk about the USATF Foundation Maternity Grant, which Tristin was awarded, and what it means to feel supported during pregnancy while continuing to identify as a professional athlete with unfinished business.
One of the most fun parts of this episode is that Tristin received surprise messages of encouragement from Sara Vaughn, Kara Goucher, and Stephanie Bruce. These moments add so much heart to the conversation and reflect the deep support within the women’s running community.
I’m cheering so hard for Tristin, and truly believe that any brand would be lucky to have her on their team.
Topics We Cover
- Tristin’s progression from a 2:40 marathon debut to a 2:25 personal best
- Training adjustments and mindset shifts during pregnancy
- Navigating uncertainty after the closure of ZAP Endurance
- What it means to stay committed to elite running while becoming a parent
- The USATF Foundation Maternity Grant and why it matters
- Postpartum racing goals and long-term belief in development
- The emotional side of waiting seasons in professional sport
- Community support and encouragement from fellow elite runners
- Recording in person and how that changes the conversation

We have a brand new show joining the Sandy Boy Productions podcast network, and I am so excited about it!
It’s called Out and Back, hosted by professional runners Rory Linkletter and Jacob Thomson. They train in Flagstaff, they are chasing big goals on the roads, and they bring you straight into the behind the scenes of the marathon lifestyle. This show is training talk with a few detours, and it is exactly the kind of perspective I love adding to the network.
What I love about Rory and Jacob is how curious they are. They are not here for surface level conversations. They want the real details. The stuff you actually want to know if you care about performance, training, racing, and the mental side of showing up when it matters. If you are someone chasing a BQ, an OTQ, or you just want to understand how the pros think about the marathon, you are going to love this podcast.
In this intro episode, I sit down with Rory and Jacob to talk about why they started Out and Back, what they want the show to be, and why they think there has been a gap in marathon specific podcasting. We also get into what it looks like to promote yourself as a professional runner, how they balance training with content, and what success looks like for both of them as they head toward Boston.
I cannot wait for you to hear more from these two, and I am really proud to welcome Out and Back to the Sandy Boy Productions family. Please take one minute right now, go hit subscribe wherever you listen, and then send this to a friend who loves marathon training talk.

Two time Olympian Elise Cranny returns to the podcast for one of the most natural, easy conversations I have had in a long time. Elise shares why she recently made a major training change, joining M11 Track Club and spending much of the year in South Africa and the UK. We talk about craving training partners again, getting back into a beginner mindset, and why she wants to pay closer attention to the 1500 this season while keeping the 5000 in the bigger picture.
Elise reflects on the mental side of championship racing, developing an alter ego on the track, and what she learned during the 2024 Olympic cycle working one on one with coach Jarred Cornfield. We dig into overtraining, identity as an athlete, and how zooming out and setting process based goals helped her find a healthier balance. She also shares what cross training looks like now (swimming three days a week), why breaking two minutes in the 800 still matters to her, and how she thinks about “racing where you are” on the world stage.
This is such a fun conversation, enjoy!
Topics we cover
- Returning to the show as a two time Olympian
- Joining M11 and what pushed her to make a big change
- Training partners, discomfort, and renewed excitement
- Shifting focus toward the 1500 and what it can unlock for her racing
- The 2024 Trials double and why joy mattered in that build
- Overtraining, burnout, and stepping away from a group environment
- Confidence, an on track alter ego, and showing up locked in
- Cross training and swimming as part of her weekly routine
- Race strategy, mental skills, and setting A/B/C goals
- Big picture career thinking: no regrets, curiosity, and leaving no stone unturned
- Life outside sport: working on her MPH at George Washington University

I’m excited to share this conversation with Drew Hunter. I’ve wanted to have Drew on the show for a long time, and this episode did not disappoint. Drew runs professionally for ASICS and lives in Boulder, Colorado, but his path in the sport has been anything but typical. He went pro straight out of high school, turning down a full scholarship to Oregon, and has now spent nearly a decade navigating the ups and downs of professional running before making a sponsor change to ASICS last year.
In this conversation, we talk about what it was really like going pro so young, how different that decision might look today with NIL, and how his perspective has shifted ten years into his career. Drew opens up about setting goals based on what genuinely excites him, why road racing has become such a big focus, and how he’s thinking about longevity in the sport as both an athlete and a dad. We also talk about family life, faith, and the importance of community, especially as he and his wife prepare to welcome their third child.
What I appreciated most about this episode is how grounded Drew is in who he is now. He reflects honestly on early loneliness, big expectations, and how his definition of success has changed over time. This conversation goes well beyond race results and gets into what it looks like to build a meaningful life alongside big athletic goals. I really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too.

Calli Hauger-Thackery and Sara Hall join Lindsey together after going 1–2 at the Houston Marathon, where they trained side by side leading into race day. Calli ran 2:24:17 for the win, and Sara finished second in 2:26:26 after a build up that was not originally supposed to include the full marathon.
They talk through the quick turnaround from their December marathons, what it takes to recover and race again, and how their shared approach to training has made the work more fun and more sustainable. The conversation also gets into the behind-the-scenes of being coached by their husbands, how they collaborate as a four-person team, and what it looks like to balance ambition with longevity, family life, and joy in the process.
Sara shares more about her upcoming memoir, For the Love of the Grind, including why she wanted to write it and the lessons she hopes athletes take from it.
Topics Discussed:

I’m so excited to welcome Laura Thweatt back to the podcast today, and we’ve got a little bonus reunion because my friend Peter Bromka joined us as well. Peter is one of my co-hosts on Relay and Road to the Trials, and when he found out Laura was coming on he asked if he could join which honestly made this conversation even more fun. Laura is someone who has been such a huge part of the running community for years. She ran professionally for over a decade, placed fifth at the 2020 Olympic Trials Marathon, and most recently stepped into a new chapter as a coach with the On Athletics Club, working alongside Dathan Ritzenhein and Kelsey Quinn. In this conversation, Laura walks us through what that transition has really been like, from the excitement of a dream opportunity to the intimidation and learning curve of stepping into a high-performance coaching role. She shares a hilarious story from her very first day on the job that involves borrowed bikes, missed splits, and trying to figure things out on the fly, and we talk honestly about identity, grief, and growth when you close one chapter and open another. Laura also shares what she’s learned working closely with athletes like Joe Klecker, Ryan Ford, and Helen Obiri, including how much happens behind the scenes to support athletes on race day and how coaching has allowed her to experience the highs and lows of the sport in a completely new way. This was one of those conversations that felt like it went by way too fast, and I’m so grateful Laura and Peter joined me for it.
Topics discussed:
- Laura’s transition from professional runner to coach with On Athletics Club
- How the coaching opportunity came together with Dathan Ritzenhein
- Feeling intimidated and learning to trust herself in a new role
- Laura’s chaotic and hilarious first day on the job
- Building trust and relationships with elite athletes
- Supporting athletes moving from track to roads and the marathon
- Managing expectations and pressure in a very public sport
- Grieving the end of a racing career while embracing a new chapter
- Experiencing race-day highs and lows as a coach instead of an athlete

Noogs: If you love sour candy and want something that actually works for fueling, Noogs has quickly become one of my favorites. They’re sour energy chews that taste amazing without being overpowering, and they give you the electrolytes and energy you actually want before or during a run. I love popping a couple before a workout, and their caffeinated chews are especially impressive because they don’t have that bitter taste you sometimes get with caffeine.

Today’s episode is a special one as we officially welcome The Mother Runners to the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network. Whitney Heins, host of the show and founder of themotherrunners.com, joins Lindsey for a relaxed, back-and-forth conversation about running, motherhood, identity, injury, coaching, and building a platform that lifts up moms who run.
Whitney shares how motherhood changed her relationship with running, the experience of feeling isolated as a new mom, and how that led her to create an online resource and community specifically for mother runners. She opens up about navigating a long injury cycle and the process of returning to the marathon to run a 2:54 in her 40s. Whitney also talks about what it’s like stepping into her own podcast after co-hosting Miles With Moms, and why storytelling matters so much in this space.
This episode is airing on both I’ll Have Another and The Mother Runners, making it the perfect way to kick off this new chapter.
About The Mother Runners Podcast:
There is truly no shortage of incredible and inspiring mother runners in the world. Every mom has such a good story—no matter how much they run, how fast, how far, or for how long—embedded in all of our journeys are chapters of strength, hope and overcoming that we all need to hear. Because when we hear each other’s stories, not only are we lifting each other up, but we are learning and growing, being inspired, and motivated.

Today on the show, Sinclaire Johnson is back, and she just had herself a day at the Merrie Mile in Honolulu. She won the race, ran a 4:21 road mile, and set a new American record. This is not new territory for her either. She has set American records before, made the World Champs team this past year, and after a few tough years battling major bone injuries, she’s finally feeling strong, healthy, and ready to keep building. We talk about racing a road mile without clocks or splits, being coached by her fiance Craig, what she learned from finishing fourth at the Olympic Trials in 3:56, how cross training has helped keep her healthy, and what she is targeting in 2026 with a full indoor season and an outdoor year that looks a little different.
What we talked about:
- Sinclaire’s Merrie Mile win in Honolulu and the 4:21 American record
- Racing with no clocks, no splits, and a pacer plan that changed in real time
- Why this fall felt different and why she feels stronger than ever right now
- Being coached by her fiance Craig and what changed in her training and communication
- The mental side of returning from repeated bone injuries and reframing fear
- Feeling unheard in past training groups and why athlete coach communication matters
- Advice for young pros choosing a coach, team, and a life outside running
- Olympic Trials 2024, running 3:56 for fourth, and what she learned from it
- World Champs season takeaways and learning to adjust without blame
- Cross training as a core strategy and how she structures volume off her legs
- Indoor season plans and what she is excited to chase next
- How world rankings work and what the new “Ultimate Championships” format looks like
- Favorite event order: track 1500, road mile, track mile
- Life outside running: bread baking, what she is reading, and what she is watching

We’re closing out our 10-part Wellness Series with a conversation that couldn’t feel more fitting. Today’s guest is my friend Brad Stulberg, who returns to the podcast to talk about his new book, The Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World. I read this book over the past couple of months and finished it on the plane heading to a busy week of interviews at the running event, and I genuinely felt more grounded and prepared because of it. Brad has been on the show many times, and I always leave our conversations with tangible takeaways for how to live and lead better. He’s the author of The Practice of Groundedness, Master of Change, Peak Performance, and The Passion Paradox, and he brings such a thoughtful, practical lens to ambition, growth, and fulfillment. In this episode, we talk about caring deeply, the inevitability of failure, and why caring, even when it opens us up to heartbreak, is still worth it. We also touch on goal setting as we head into a new year and how to think about excellence in a way that’s sustainable and meaningful. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did and that it leaves you feeling encouraged as we wrap up this series.
Check out Brad’s work and pre order his newest book at BradStulberg.com
What we talked about:
- December as a natural season for reflection, and the tension of “ramping down” while launching something big
- The Way of Excellence and how excellence can be a mindset you practice, not just an outcome you achieve
- “Brave New World” as a fear-to-curiosity reframe for big moments (races, interviews, parenting, hard lifts)
- Curiosity vs fear, and why curiosity helps you perform better (and feel better) under pressure
- Caring deeply as the cost of stepping into the arena, and why “too cool to care” is actually insecurity
- Excellence as heartfelt (not robotic) and a critique of “pseudo excellence” culture and optimization obsession
- Cold plunges and “hacks”: what’s legit, what’s hype, and when hard things are useful vs unnecessary
- Identity and the “house with rooms” metaphor (runner, parent, creative, partner) so one setback doesn’t collapse your whole sense of self
- Reading vs short-form video for attention, cognition, and emotional health, plus habits that support focus
- New Year goals: why resolutions fail, and how values-based goal setting helps you climb the right mountain

I cannot tell you how special this episode feels to me. Laura Galeazzo — who longtime listeners will remember as the very first guest I ever interviewed back in 2016 — is back on the show, and catching up with her brought everything full circle. When I launched this podcast, I was a young mom with two little kids, newly pregnant with my third, dreaming about building something of my own. Laura said yes to being my very first interview when all I had was a microphone, a simple idea, and a whole lot of belief. Since then, she’s lived so much life: she’s had two babies, become a real estate agent, coached athletes, and continued to chase big goals with the same quiet determination that made her story so compelling in the first place. She’s now a 2:49 marathoner and recently ran a huge half marathon PR, breaking through years of self-doubt to rediscover her confidence. I’ve watched her navigate seasons of grit, seasons without PRs, and seasons where she just kept showing up for herself — and seeing her run her strongest races yet is incredibly inspiring. It feels so right to have her back on the show all these years later, still getting after it and still reminding us what’s possible when you keep going.

For this episode in our wellness series, I’m joined by sports dietitian and marathoner Meghann Featherstun of Featherstone Nutrition. I had just gotten home from a whirlwind week at The Running Event and CIM, where I hosted conversations with Gabby Thomas (sponsored by Amazfit) and a Road to the Trials panel, and I was excited to sit down for a fresh, in-depth chat with Meghann. We debrief her time at TRE, where there were over 50 nutrition brands on display, and dig into what’s actually new and useful in sports fueling right now. We talk about higher-carb products, evolving electrolyte and caffeine trends, and how to think about choosing between all the options on the market. From there, we dive into some big wellness topics like nicotine pouches, GLP-1 medications, midlife weight changes, and the pressure runners feel around body image. Meghann shares both her clinical and personal perspective on when these tools can be life-changing for health and when they become a vanity shortcut. We also cover how to talk about food and bodies with our kids, and then wrap up with practical advice for recovering from a fall marathon, including fueling in the days after your race, adjusting nutrition when mileage drops, and what to make of “fiber maxing.”
Enjoy my conversation with Meghann!

In this episode, I sat down with Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas while I was in San Antonio for The Running Event, and it was such a fun, inspiring conversation. Gabby had an incredible 2024 season where she won gold in the 200 meters in Paris and was part of the gold medal 4×100 and 4×400 teams. She runs for New Balance, studied neurobiology at Harvard, and went on to earn her master’s in public health, so we talk about how her academic background shapes the way she thinks about performance, health, and life beyond the track. We get into what it actually felt like to win that individual gold, how she handled the pressure of the Olympic Games, what she’s learning in this phase of her career, and what she’s dreaming about as she looks toward LA 2028. We also chat about her partnership with Amazfit, how she uses their watch in training and racing, and why this season has been so meaningful to her both on and off the track.

Today I am talking with two-time Olympian and Saucony athlete Molly Huddle, who just ran the Every Woman’s Marathon six months postpartum with her second baby. Molly used the race as a long training run and shares what it felt like to approach the marathon in a more relaxed, flexible way than she has in the past while still respecting how hard 26.2 miles feels at any pace.
We get into how life looks right now with two young daughters, how she and her husband are tag-teaming work and parenting, and what it has been like to train and race while breastfeeding. Molly explains why she chose this marathon as a fundraising opportunity for For All Mothers+, how she approached the effort on the day, and what she learned about her current fitness and recovery.
Molly also talks about where she is with professional running at age 41, her hope to qualify for another Olympic Marathon Trials, and what it means to her to compete in a “part-time” or “semi-retired” way while she leans into coaching, writing, and parenting. We talk about identity shifts in motherhood, the invisible work that goes into raising kids, and how to stay engaged with the sport even when the goals and timelines look different than they did in your twenties.
Finally, Molly shares more about the new pregnancy and postpartum running book she is co-writing, the research she is excited about, and her thoughts on aging, body image, and what it really means to let running “light you up,” whatever season of life you are in.
Topics Discussed:
- Molly’s decision to run the Every Woman’s Marathon six months postpartum
- Using a marathon as a long training run instead of an all-out effort
- Balancing breastfeeding, travel, and race-day logistics with a baby and a toddler
- Fundraising and partnering with For All Mothers+ at the race
- How the Every Woman’s Marathon creates an unintimidating, women-centered race experience
- Postpartum training, injury history, and choosing a more cautious path back
- Shifting identity from full-time pro runner to part-time competitor, coach, and writer
- Motherhood, invisible labor, and how priorities around work and running change
- Body image, aging, and pressure around appearance and performance
- The new pregnancy and postpartum running book and current women’s health research

Today’s episode comes to you from my time at the Allianz Richmond Marathon weekend. This was my third year serving as race emcee in Richmond, and once again I left feeling deeply moved by the stories, resilience, and joy I witnessed at the finish line. I watched first-time marathoners cross with disbelief in their eyes, couples holding hands as they finished together, runners pushing through pain, and others celebrating huge personal victories. There is a kind of gratitude at the end of a marathon that you just cannot replicate anywhere else, and Richmond always reminds me why I love this experience so much.
Today’s conversation is a special live recording from that weekend, where I sat down with Sophie King and Trevor Spencer. Trevor is one of the co-hosts of the Marathon Training Academy podcast, and Sophie King is a professional runner based in Richmond with an incredibly compelling story. Sophie made her marathon debut right here in Richmond in 2021 and later ran a 2:34 at CIM in 2023. She was on track for big things before suffering a torn plantar fascia that ultimately kept her from competing at the Olympic Trials, but what struck me most about this conversation is her perspective, her honesty, and her belief that her best years are still ahead of her.
Sophie comes from a swimming background and only transitioned fully to running in recent years, which makes her rise in the sport even more impressive. She speaks openly about setbacks, rebuilding confidence after injury, learning to trust her body again, and continuing to chase big goals despite the detours. There is a calm strength to the way she talks about her journey, and I loved hearing her articulate not only her ambitions but her deep gratitude for the process as well.
This was one of those conversations that felt too meaningful not to share publicly. Her story, her mindset, and her vulnerability deserve to be heard, and I’m so excited for you to listen.

Hey friends, welcome to I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein. If you ran the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, Half Marathon, or 5K this past weekend, congratulations. It was incredible to see so many familiar faces out there, and it was an honor to be the race emcee again this year. Between the energy at the start and the emotion at the finish line, this race really showed up — including a huge three-minute drop in the men’s marathon course record and a long list of Olympic Trials qualifiers.
I wanted to break it all down with two people who experienced the weekend right alongside me. My friend Ally Brettnacher is here — she’s the host of Finish Lines & Milestones, part of the Sandyboy Productions network, and she always brings such a fun perspective from the everyday runner community. Emily Infeld also joins us. She was the guest of honor at Monumental this year — she helped start the race, she handed out medals at the finish line, she sat down for an interview at the expo, and she joined me for our live podcast at the post-race celebration. Emily barely needs an introduction, but here’s a quick one: she’s an Olympian, a US national champion, a five-time track world finalist, and she won the 10,000m national title this summer after ten years filled with surgeries, setbacks, comebacks, and breakthroughs. She’s sponsored by Brooks Running.
Brooks partnered with us through Athletic Annex for the weekend, which was really special since Emily is a Brooks athlete. My relationship with Athletic Annex goes back more than a decade — I helped them with social media and events long before I started hosting live podcasts, and they’ve supported every single event I’ve brought to Indianapolis since. Every time I’m back home for a shakeout run, a live show, or anything related to the Monumental, they’re right there with me.
This year we hosted our biggest post-race party yet, and I’ll be honest — I was nervous nobody would buy tickets. I wanted it to be an elevated event, with great food, drinks, a killer goodie bag, and a chance for everyone to actually celebrate their race. We ended up selling out and even added extra tickets at the door. One of the biggest hits was the Indy poster Ally designed — inspired by iconic race posters at major marathons — where everyone could stencil in their finishing time. It was so fun watching people make their own little Monumental keepsake. Our vision is to make this weekend feel a little more like the big-city marathon experience: a Friday shakeout run, community events, and a post-race celebration every year moving forward.
One thing I’m especially proud of is that we were able to donate $500 from the event back to the Monumental Kids Movement — a school-based running and wellness program. Beyond Monumental does such meaningful work with kids year after year, and I’m glad we could give back to that mission.
Huge thanks to everyone who came to the race, the expo, the live show, and the party — it meant so much. If you enjoyed this episode or were part of the weekend, a quick rating and review goes a long way. And if you’re already planning on Monumental 2026 — and I know some of you type-A runners are — make sure you’re in town for the Friday shakeout and the post-race party. We’re already excited for next year.

Today I’m joined by Annie Frisbie, who just finished fifth at the 2025 New York City Marathon in 2:24:12 — the second-fastest American performance ever on that course. Annie has quickly become one of the most consistent and exciting marathoners in the U.S., and what I love most about her story is how steady, grounded, and quietly fierce she is. She debuted in New York back in 2021 running 2:26:18 — the fourth-fastest debut by an American woman on that course — and since then she’s continued to chip away, stacking strong, confident races while training with Minnesota Distance Elite. Annie grew up in Wisconsin, ran at Iowa State where she was an All-American in cross country, and now runs professionally for Puma. In this conversation, we break down her NYC race from the inside, including the moments she almost lost confidence, how she’s learning to trust positive self-talk, and what she’s excited about for 2026 and beyond. Annie is thoughtful, humble, and incredibly fun to root for — you’re going to feel so inspired hearing about her process, her mindset, and the way she’s growing into this event. I loved catching up with her so much.
Topics we cover
- NYC race plan, surges, and key course sections
- Passing Sifan Hassan late and protecting position
- Solo miles, crowd energy, and managing pain honestly
- Fueling: UCAN gels (alternating caffeine) and electrolytes
- Training consistency, hamstring care, and support team
- Mindset: visualization, mantras, and choosing helpful thoughts
- Tactical Majors vs time trial courses
- Post-race recovery, winter training, and 2026 goals

We are back with another Wellness One episode, and today I’m joined by our favorite running sports psychologist, Emily Saul. I’ve admired Emily’s work for years, and several athletes I coach have worked with her and seen real shifts in how they handle racing, training, and life. Emily shares how she came to sports psychology through rowing, coaching, November Project, and counseling, and why she views movement as both classroom and laboratory. We dig into the “helpful vs. unhelpful” frame, flipping perfectionism into process, and building a mental race plan that breaks a marathon into truly manageable chunks. Emily walks through practical tools for race day and how to define success with process and experience goals so your body can do what it is trained to do. I think you’ll feel your nervous system settle a bit just listening, and leave with a plan you can use at whatever race is next on your calendar.
Topics discussed:
• Emily’s path to sports psychology and why movement is a vehicle for growth
• The “helpful vs. unhelpful” reframe for plans, workouts, and expectations
• Process goals and experience goals that support performance
• Building a mental race plan by chunking time, course sections, and fuel windows
• What to do when discomfort shows up early and how to choose your next best action
• Keeping attention in the present and letting completed chunks count as wins
• Why success is self-defined and how to let running serve your life

I’m so thrilled to introduce Carolyn Coffin to the SandyBoy Productions podcast network. Carolyn hosts the Inspired Soles podcast and has been telling incredible stories in the running world since 2020. She’s based in Canada, and we get into how much her show highlights Canadian athletes, why those stories matter, and the crossover between the U.S. and Canadian running scenes.
Carolyn shares her background as a physiotherapist, how she shifted into health coaching and eventually running coaching, and how she found her own love for the sport later in life. We talk through her long journey with the marathon — the near misses, the tough races, the canceled races, the heat DNFs — and the fire she still has at age 48 to run her fastest marathon yet. She also talks about family life, her husband’s running, raising teenagers, and what her coaching roster looks like today. This is a rich conversation about longevity, learning, curiosity, and chasing big goals no matter your age.
Topics discussed:
- Welcoming Inspired Soles to the network
- Why Canadian representation in running media matters
- Carolyn’s shifts from physio to health coach to running coach
- The early running memories that shaped her beliefs
- Her breakthrough years and chasing sub-3:20
- Chicago 2020 getting canceled and the virtual marathon
- Heat cancellations, injuries, GI issues, and all the almost-PRs
- Training for the Marathon Project
- Running with her husband and pacing each other
- How her kids relate to running and movement
- Coaching everyday runners and creating community
- Future ideas around philanthropy and supporting women chasing big goals
- What inspires her right now

Rory Linkletter is back on the podcast and he is truly one of the most entertaining, insightful people to talk running with. He just ran a huge PR of 2:06:49 at the Chicago Marathon, and we get into everything that went into that performance — the big swing for the Canadian record, what it felt like to put himself in the race early, and how he managed the moment he realized he’d be running the last 12 miles alone. He breaks down the pace groups, the chaos of early race dynamics, and the confidence that comes from having 13 marathons worth of experience to lean on.
We also talk about what it means to actually race a marathon versus just running one — how fueling, composure, and mindset have evolved for him, and why he’s shifting his focus away from chasing a specific time and toward racing with courage at the front of major marathons. Rory shares openly about coaching transitions, what he learned from Boston, how he’s thinking about LA 2028, and how he balances training with being a dad of two. It’s a fun, honest conversation with someone who isn’t afraid to say big goals out loud and back them up with the work.
Topics we Discussed:
- Chicago PR and the Canadian record chase
- From running marathons to racing them
- Fueling practice on every long run
- Coaching with Ryan Hall to Jon Green
- Composure during the race
- Why he’s shelving the record goal
- Racing the group vs. running your own race
- Building toward LA 2028

In this episode, I chat with Aubrey Frentheway, a rising American marathoner who finished 12th overall and 4th American at the 2024 Chicago Marathon, running 2:27. Aubrey also ran 2:27 earlier this year at Grandma’s Marathon, marking an impressive progression since her debut marathon last year in Chicago (2:35). She runs for Saucony, trains with Ed Eyestone’s group in Utah alongside athletes like Keira D’Amato, Emily Venters, and Makenna Myler, and teaches eighth-grade math part-time while balancing her professional running career.
Aubrey and I talk about what it’s like to jump to the marathon at such a young age, her transition from BYU and Coach Diljeet Taylor to training with Ed Eyestone’s team, and how she’s learned to master fueling after some hard lessons from her first marathon. She shares openly about her hamstring injury, her mindset through setbacks, and how she’s learning to love the process—especially the marathon training itself. We also chat about her classroom life, her dog (who’s very impatient during her recovery!), her husband’s support while he’s in PT school, and her plans for a spring marathon once she’s healthy again.
This is such an honest, down-to-earth conversation with an athlete who’s finding her rhythm and confidence in the professional world while keeping perspective and joy in the process.
Topics Discussed
- Aubrey’s progression from 2:35 to 2:27 in the marathon
- Joining Ed Eyestone’s training group and the team’s growing energy
- Balancing running with teaching middle school math
- Managing a hamstring injury and recovery process
- The highs and lows of marathon racing and mental waves mid-race
- Fueling lessons and working with a sports dietitian
- Transitioning from BYU and Coach Diljeet Taylor to professional training
- Learning from mentorship and teammates like Keira D’Amato and Courtney Frerichs
- Her love for marathon training and what’s next on her race calendar
- Non-running life: family, travel, and her dog

In this episode of I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein, Lindsey sits down with Jamie Greenawalt, President of Foot Levelers, for a conversation about leadership, goal setting, and building a wellness-centered life. Jamie is a third-generation leader in the company, a mom of two, and someone whose passion for improving people’s lives through chiropractic care shines through in everything she does. I first met Jamie at the Blue Ridge Marathon—where Foot Levelers is the title sponsor—and quickly realized her story and expertise would resonate with my listeners.
Jamie shares what it’s like running a multigenerational business, how Foot Levelers orthotics are designed to support all three arches of the foot for optimal stability, and why their custom approach sets them apart in the wellness industry. She also opens up about her daily habits, how she stays organized amid a busy schedule, and the importance of setting clear goals.
I share about my own experience using Foot Levelers orthotics since May and how much they’ve helped support my high arches. Whether you’re curious about better foot health or simply want inspiration from a driven leader and working mom, this episode offers a great mix of motivation and practical takeaways.
Topics Discussed
- Foot Levelers’ partnership with the Blue Ridge Marathon and community wellness
- The history and family legacy behind Foot Levelers
- How custom orthotics work and why supporting all three arches matters
- Relationship between chiropractic care, biomechanics, and lower back health
- Types of orthotics for different lifestyles and activity levels
- Jamie’s running background and balancing wellness as a working mom
- Creating a “life club” — goal setting and accountability with friends
- Work-life balance, slowing down, and finding joy in small moments
- The importance of alignment and authenticity in business partnerships
- Foot Levelers’ new partnership with professional runner Sarah Hall

I hope you had a wonderful Chicago Marathon weekend — if you raced, congrats! It was such a joy to be in Chicago again.
Today I’m recapping the Chicago Marathon with the one and only Emily Venters. I spoke with Emily at the pre-race press conference — she was so excited to debut the marathon. If you had her on your tracker, you saw that things went sideways on race day. In this conversation, Emily shares the full story of what unfolded on the course and how she handled it — with so much grace, grit, and determination. She crossed that finish line about an hour off her goal time, finishing with the masses — something you almost never see a pro do — and there are so many powerful lessons in how she did it.
If you’re new to Emily, she was on the show back in May after breaking 15 in the 5K (episode 609). She debuted the half in Houston, placed 5th at the US Half Marathon Championships, and owns a 68:48 PR in the half. She runs for Nike, lives in Utah, and is coached by Ed Eyestone. Emily is also a leukemia survivor (diagnosed at age 3), and she was raising money for that cause in Chicago — another reason finishing meant so much to her. I was at the finish looking for her with my friend (and relay co-host) Erika Kemp, and watching Emily come down that stretch was emotional and inspiring.
Go give Emily a follow and a big virtual hug: @VentersEmily on Instagram. We are so proud of you, Emily — can’t wait to see what you do next.
Topics Discussed
- The decision to finish anyway after a prolonged stop in the med tent.
- Overheating & low sodium symptoms starting as early as miles 6–8.
- Rejoining with the masses — dodging cups, weaving through runners, lost bottle tables.
- Improvising fueling — grabbing Gatorade cups, a spectator’s Coke, and a body-armor drink.
- The Biofreeze-in-the-eye moment — chaos of the mass field.
- Letting go of ego — finishing with a much slower time vs. DNF.
- Ties to her leukemia story and fundraising as motivation to finish.
- Learning the marathon’s science (sweat rate, sodium, carbs) vs. half/10K.
- Support system — Ed Eyestone, teammates, and the pro road community.
- Mindset work — journaling, daily “how do I feel?” check-ins, and redefining success.

Today my guest is Jay Dicharry — a physical therapist, researcher, coach, and the founder of the MOBO board. If you’re in the running world, you’ve probably heard his name before. Jay is also the author of Running Rewired: Reinvent Your Run for Stability, Strength, and Speed, which I’ve been reading and loving lately. I’ve also been using the MOBO board every day and can honestly say it’s been a game changer.
Jay is such a kind and humble person, and his passion for helping runners move better and stay healthy really shines through in this conversation. He’s a faculty member at Oregon State University and has built an international reputation for his expertise in biomechanical analysis, injury prevention, and performance training. His career has spanned directing the Speed Clinic at the University of Virginia, running an independent lab in Oregon, and consulting with everyone from USA Track & Field to the U.S. Air Force.
I felt like I got a free consultation during this interview! Jay truly elevates the standard of care for athletes, therapists, and coaches everywhere. I think you’re going to walk away from this one feeling motivated, inspired, and ready to commit to your strength work.
Topics Covered:
- Jay’s backstory / path to running PT
- Prepping the body before building mileage
- Simple posture/form cues that stick
- Movement learning (focus over multitasking)
- Where to start: short “precision” sessions + strength work
- Treadmill pros/cons and pacing by effort
- Tendon basics: slow loading and pain guidelines
- Finding the right PT and communicating clearly
- Foot strength & MOBO fundamentals

I’m your host, Lindsey Hein, and today I’m joined by Keira D’Amato! I’m so proud of her and thrilled that her new book, Don’t Call It a Comeback, is officially out in the world. I had the chance to read an advanced copy this summer and absolutely loved getting a deeper look into how she’s processed her rise to success in our running community. We’ve all watched her story unfold—from breaking the American record in the marathon (2:19:12) in 2022, to setting the half marathon record (1:06:39), to balancing her life as a mom of two and Nike athlete.
Keira is now training in Utah under coach Ed Eyestone, and this conversation is exactly what you’d expect from her—fun, honest, and inspiring. It’s been a while since she’s been on the show, and she always makes it so easy to root for her. I’m so excited for you to hear what’s next in her journey and to celebrate this new chapter as an author.
Topics Discussed:
- Book tour feelings & “imposter” author vibes
- Working with co-writer Evelyn Spence + keeping Keira’s voice; how the title Don’t Call It a Comeback happened
- Handling mainstream attention vs “real-life” mom Keira; separating personas
- Early motherhood, loneliness, and how running/community helped
- Move to Utah; choosing coach Ed Eyestone; altitude + team culture; big Sunday-off change and training differences
- Being 41: masters records, recovery tweaks, and (not yet) perimenopause
- Racing update: 69’ half in Copenhagen; choosing Valencia Marathon; taking the kids along
- Broadcasting experience (Chicago) and learning from front-row views of elite marathoning

This week on the Wellness Series, I’m joined by Claire Shorenstein, a board-certified sports dietitian who’s spent over a decade helping active people fuel their bodies to feel strong and perform their best. Claire is also a passionate trail and ultrarunner, a mom of two, and the host of the Eat for Endurance podcast.
Claire’s own experience struggling to fuel properly as a new runner led her to change careers and devote her work to helping others do it better. In our conversation, she shares practical guidance for athletes of all levels—whether you’re training for your first 5K or your tenth ultra—on how to approach nutrition to support your running, recovery, and overall wellness.
This was such a fun and informative conversation, and I hope it leaves you feeling more confident about fueling your body to feel well and run well.
What we discussed:
- Claire’s path from classical musician/oboe player (Yale) to sports dietitian & endurance runner
- Her philosophy: looking at the “whole person” (life landscape, health history, lab work, lifestyle)
- Balancing everyday nutrition with training & race-day fueling
- Common mistakes endurance athletes make — especially under-eating carbs
- Tracking food intake without triggering disordered-eating tendencies
- Protein, carbs & fueling as we age: peri/menopause, bone health, energy availability
- Athlete performance plates & learning what “enough” really looks like
- Her advice for new marathoners: start by adding more carbs and always fuel before/after workouts

Today’s guest is longtime pro Natosha Rogers, back on the show for the first time in about eight years and running her third marathon in Chicago. Natosha has an impressive and long running career so far—NCAA 10K champ in 2012, four Olympic Trials appearances on the track, and a gutsy (and very tough) marathon debut at the 2024 Trials that left her wanting a do-over. She got it this March in Nagoya, running 2:23:51—proof of concept that the marathon is her event when things go right. Since then, she’s moved back home to Colorado, shifted coaching to Steve Magness, and is leaning into a smarter, individualized approach—less ego, more wisdom—for Chicago. We get into why she now believes finishing at the Trials was a mistake, how she managed a mid-race pacing surge in Nagoya, why Chicago’s organization and pacers fit this moment in her career (and contract year), and how a balanced life—family, Denver community, mountains, coffee shops, even a little dancing—actually fuels big goals. It’s reflective, candid, and Chicago-ready—get Natosha in your tracker and enjoy the episode!
Top topics discussed:
- Move back to Colorado; coaching change to Steve Magness and why
- 2024 Trials debrief: why finishing was a mistake and what it cost her
- Nagoya marathon: mid-race pacing error, learning to “juggle variables,” and 2:23:51 redemption
- Marathon wisdom: negotiating with yourself, managing heat/pace, “be a wise old lady” early
- Injury context (sciatic/nerve chain), lessons on knowing when to stop
- Leaving the Puma elite group; need for individualized training and life/work separation
- Why Chicago: organized pacing, fast course, contract timing, field fit and top-10 aim
- What she values in Steve Magness as a coach: collaboration, individualized volume, mental side of performance
- Career perspective: longevity, duality of highs/lows, inspired to keep going through 2028
- Life outside running: Denver community, mountains, coffee shops, dancing; writing goals/book ideas

For this episode in my Wellness One series, I sat down with Dr. Kurt Juergens, a chiropractor who’s spent 36 years treating runners and athletes. He’s worked on the USATF Olympic Trials sports medicine team (1992) and with the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Tennis Championships—and he’s run seven marathons himself. I came in with basic (and very real) questions: What exactly is happening when something “cracks”? Is it okay that I pop my kids’ backs? How does chiropractic help runners beyond the satisfying pop? We got into feet-as-foundation, why balance and hamstring flexibility matter more than you think, how kinesiology tape actually works, and when custom orthotics (that support all three arches) can change the chain reaction up your ankles, knees, hips, and back. If you’re curious about chiropractic but haven’t tried it (hi, it’s me), this one breaks it down without the overwhelm.
Topics we cover
- Dr. Juergens’ 36 years in sports-focused chiropractic care
- What’s really happening when you hear the “pop”
- Safe vs. unsafe back-popping for kids
- Feet as the foundation: pronation, arches, orthotics
- Balance and hamstring flexibility for runners
- Kinesiology tape basics and postural taping
- When to add PT or imaging and how often to get adjusted
- Quick drills for runners and posture tips

When I thought about putting together this wellness series, I knew I wanted to bring on my acupuncturist, Boris Bernadsky. Boris is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist at City of Oaks Acupuncture. He focuses on pain, neurological, and autoimmune conditions and was inspired by his own healing journey. His practice combines traditional Chinese medicine with ongoing study of physiology to provide personalized, effective care.
I first started seeing Boris in May for bursitis in my foot and Achilles tendonitis. I also asked if he could help with a strange itchy-arm condition I’ve dealt with every summer for over 10 years. Since then, he’s supported me not only with those issues, but also with nervous system regulation and anxiety. In this episode, Boris explains what acupuncture really is, what it can help with, and how it fits into traditional Chinese medicine. You’ll hear about herbs, dry needling, nervous system regulation, and why even a simple monthly visit can feel restorative.
Topics we cover:
- My personal path to acupuncture and what has changed for me
- Acupuncture within traditional Chinese medicine: the core branches
- How needles work today vs historically, and what “qi” actually means
- Nervous system regulation, rest and digest, and ear points
- Herbal medicine: warming vs cooling herbs and customizing formulas
- Common conditions acupuncture treats well, and when PT or other care is better
- Dry needling compared to acupuncture
- What a session feels like: environment, cost, insurance, and community models
- Boris’s marathon training, fueling, and love of running
- Tea, coffee, and nervous system effects
- Choosing the right acupuncturist and the role of moderation in health

I was so happy to welcome Amanda Vestri back on the show! She’s one of my favorite athletes to follow—and one of the sweetest people—and I’m thrilled to watch her make her marathon debut this fall at the New York City Marathon. In this episode, Amanda shares the behind-the-scenes journey that led to this moment: from the disappointment of the canceled World Half Marathon Championships to choosing New York over Chicago for her debut, and how she’s embracing the challenge of the unknown.
We talk about what it’s been like closing the chapter with ZAP Endurance (her training group), navigating training without a permanent team, fueling and long runs, and how the marathon is already helping her grow as an athlete. Amanda opens up about her strengths and struggles, what she’s still chasing on the track, and how she’s approaching this next step with a mindset of curiosity and joy.
If you’re a fan of process-oriented training, women’s distance running, or just rooting for good people doing big things, this one’s for you. Follow Amanda on Instagram at @a_vestri and follow me at @lindseyhein626.
Topics we cover:
- Amanda’s decision to debut the marathon at NYC
- The cancelation of the World Half Marathon Championships
- Closing the ZAP Endurance chapter
- Training solo and finding support
- Long runs, fueling, and race prep
- Watching Team USA women at Worlds
- Championship vs. time trial racing styles
- Her future goals on the track (including breaking 15:00!)
- Finding confidence through half marathons and road races
- Running as a lifelong practice, not just for competition
- Book talk and Ellen Hildebrand obsessions

Today on the Wellness Series, I’m joined by Dr. Carla DiGirolamo, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who focuses on female athletic performance and menopause health. She’s also a CrossFit Level 1 trainer, certified nutrition coach, and endocrine consultant for Eternal (the sponsor for this series!). We dig into what women’s performance endocrinology actually is, why many active women feel unseen in typical medical settings, and how to think about testing, training, fueling, and recovery through our reproductive continuum. We also get practical on perimenopause, hot flashes, bone health, strength work for runners, weighted vests, and a quick cortisol 101.
What we talked about:
- How Dr. Carla blended endocrinology with sport to serve athletic women
- The athlete’s frustration in standard care and how to choose a provider who “gets” training and nutrition
- Hormone testing 101: test to answer a specific question, not “everything”
- Perimenopause basics: a 6–8 year transition, why it feels “chaotic,” and what to do first
- HRT vs hormone therapy: who needs replacement, who is treating symptoms, and risk/benefit basics
- Sleep, hot flashes, and why symptom relief can indirectly support body composition
- Bone health: fueling first, protein, heavy lifting, plyometrics, and running as load for bone
- Weighted vests: when they help, when they hurt, practical rules to use them safely
- Strength for runners: carving out on- and off-seasons, keeping a base, and using coaching wisely
- Body types, goals, and social media noise; Cortisol 101 and why recovery brings the gains
Resources Mentioned:

Hey friends! I’m kicking off a brand-new 10-part series on I’ll Have Another called The Wellness One, supported by our friends at Eternal. I wanted a space to look at whole-person health for runners and athletes — beyond splits and workouts — and bring in experts who can actually help us live, train, and feel better for the long haul.
Today I’m joined by Dr. Heather McKee, a behavior change specialist who helps people “find joy in their healthy habits.” We get into why many motivated runners (hi, us!) still struggle with the “extras” like strength, mobility, recovery, nutrition, and medical check-ins — and how to finally make those stick.
Heather explains how to connect habits to your own why so the motivation is “sticky,” what a minimum viable habit looks like in real life, and how to use flexible scaling instead of all-or-nothing thinking. We talk about “goal dilution,” the power of habit stacking, and how to become a “habit detective” using cues-routine-reward to bend unhelpful behaviors. I even share my own fidgety tendencies, and Heather offers a super practical re-route I’m going to try immediately.
We wrap with three takeaways you can use today:
- Start with why — what does this change contribute to your life.
- Choose your minimum viable habit — the smallest version you’ll actually do.
- Scale flexibly — define 1–10 versions so the habit survives real life.
Topics Discussed:
- What The Wellness One series is and why I’m doing it
- What Eternal offers and where it’s available
- Runners over-indexing training while neglecting recovery, strength, nutrition, and medical factors
- Intrinsic (“sticky”) motivation — starting with your personal why
- Minimum Viable Habit and consistency (the “one tooth” flossing idea)
- Goal dilution and focusing on one specific change at a time
- Flexible scaling (defining 1–10 versions so habits survive busy seasons)
- Habit loop: cue → routine → reward; becoming a “habit detective”
- Habit stacking and environment design to reduce friction
- Bending unhelpful habits (fidgets, nail/hair picking) and practical replacements

Today on the podcast I’m talking with Krissy Gear — 2023 U.S. steeplechase champion, road mile champion, and fresh off a win at the NACAC steeplechase. She’s lining up for the Fifth Avenue Mile this weekend, so the timing of this conversation is perfect.
I first met Krissy at the Sir Walter Mile in Raleigh, and I knew right away I wanted to have her on the show. She’s fun, curious, thoughtful, and one of the biggest cheerleaders for the people around her. In this conversation, Krissy opens up about her journey from Furman to Arkansas, how she found her way into the steeplechase, and what it’s been like to train on her own after leaving NAZ Elite. She talks candidly about navigating confidence, nerves, and the mental side of racing — plus what she’s learning about setting boundaries, keeping perspective, and building trust in herself.
You’ll also hear some lighthearted stories — about her dog Miss Oat, her boyfriend Michael, running with her Flagstaff crew, and even playing Fortnite with friends. Krissy is genuine, honest, and refreshingly open about both the highs and the challenges of professional running. I know you’ll enjoy getting to know her just like I did.
Topics Discussed:
- Miss Oat the dog and how having a dog in college shaped Krissy’s routine
- College experience during COVID and transitioning from Furman to Arkansas
- NACAC steeplechase win and what the small field was like
- Sir Walter Mile experience
- Relationship with her boyfriend (meeting story, running goals, Whole Foods job, RBF stereotype)
- Running history: pole vault beginnings, high school mile and state titles, progression to steeplechase
- Transition from NAZ Elite to training independently with Hayden Cox, contract structure, and HOKA details
- Mental side of racing: therapy, nerves vs. excitement, building confidence, and her sunflower timing quote

Hey friends! I’ve got such a fun episode for you today. I’m joined by all three women who will represent Team USA in the marathon at the World Championships in Tokyo — and the coolest part is that they’re all sponsored by Brooks. Erika Kemp, Jess McClain, and Susanna Sullivan are each incredible athletes and returning guests to the show, and it felt so special to have them all together before they line up in Tokyo.
We talk about their training, how they’re preparing for this world stage, and what it means to them to wear the Team USA kit. All three women bring such unique stories to the table — Erika with her breakthrough in Houston, Jess coming off her 2:22 at Boston, and Susanna balancing teaching with elite training. Their PRs are all within a minute of each other, so it’ll be exciting to see how the race plays out and if they can run together.
The women’s marathon takes place on September 14th — mark your calendars so you can cheer on Erika, Jess, and Susanna! I can’t wait to watch and celebrate these finish line moments with them.
If you enjoy this conversation, please take a minute to leave a quick rating and review — it helps more listeners find the show and keeps this community growing.

I was so excited to have Sage Hurta-Klecker back on the show, this time fresh off making her first U.S. team in the 800 meters. This has been a long time coming for Sage, who’s been one of our top middle-distance runners in the U.S. for years and has been heartbreakingly close to making teams in the past. We talked all about that thrilling lean for third place at USAs, her mindset and tactics during the race, and how she handled the nerves and physical risks of running in such a tightly packed field. Sage shared what it meant to finally have that “checkmark” moment in her career, while still staying grounded in knowing her worth as an athlete beyond team selections. We got into the differences between the 800 and 1500 for her, why she’s excited to explore the 1500 more in the future, and how races like Sir Walter Miler have helped her bounce back from setbacks. She opened up about the emotional recovery from missing past teams, what her training looks like with teammates like Josette Andrews, her pacing experiences (including Faith Kipyegon’s world record), and how she’s preparing mentally and physically for Tokyo. It was such a fun, honest conversation, and I can’t wait to see what Sage does on the world stage.
Topics Discussed:
- Making her first U.S. team in the 800 meters
- The lean at the line and race tactics at USAs
- Managing nerves and risk in crowded 800s
- Differences between racing the 800 and 1500
- Training alongside teammates like Josette Andrews
- Pacing experience, including Faith Kipyegon’s world record
- Shifting focus toward the 1500 in the future
- Bouncing back from missing previous teams
- Mental and physical prep for the World Championships in Tokyo
- Support from family and what this moment means in her career

What a thrill it was to watch Lexy Halladay-Lowry become your 2025 USA steeplechase champion this past weekend — and I’m so pumped to bring you this episode with her just days later.
Lexy is fresh off a breakout season: she took second at NCAAs this spring while competing for BYU and is now officially Tokyo-bound to represent Team USA. She’s coached by Diljeet Taylor (who also coached her at BYU), and she’s already clocked a 9:08 steeple.
In this episode, Lexy breaks down the entire race — how it unfolded, what was going through her head, and how it feels to make the U.S. team. We also talk about her progression in the event, her relationship with Coach Taylor, and what she’s most looking forward to this season.
If you haven’t watched the race yet, I highly recommend pausing this and pulling it up — search 2025 USA steeplechase championships women’s final and enjoy watching Lexy totally crush it.
Thanks so much for being here — and if you’re looking for more great conversations, check out our other Sandyboy Productions shows like Finish Lines & Milestones, The Trail Network Podcast, Miles With Moms, and The Illuminate Podcast at sandyboyproductions.com.

I loved getting the chance to sit down with Christina Henderson, the event director for The Running Event (TRE). If you’ve been paying attention to the run specialty world over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed how much buzz TRE has been getting, and Christina has been a huge part of that growth.
TRE is North America’s premier conference and trade show for run and outdoor specialty retail. It’s a B2B event where retailers connect with brands, learn about new products, and have bigger conversations about the future of our industry. Christina has helped transform TRE into more than just a trade show – it’s become a community hub for meaningful conversations around business, culture, and shared values.
Christina is also an incredible runner herself, with a marathon PR of 2:56. We talked about the generational shifts happening in the running retail space, the challenges the industry is facing, and how TRE continues to evolve to meet the moment.
I left this conversation so inspired by Christina’s passion for this community and her vision for the future of our sport. I think you’ll really enjoy hearing her perspective and getting to know her better!
Topics Covered:
- Christina’s journey to becoming event director at TRE
- How she got her start in event planning and running-focused roles
- The evolution and growth of The Running Event over the past decade
- TRE’s role as more than just a trade show and its impact on the running industry
- Building community and supporting run specialty stores
- Emerging trends in run specialty retail and consumer behavior
- Success stories of brands like Hoka and Vuori that started small at TRE
- The importance of run clubs and community engagement for retailers
- The decision to move TRE from Austin to San Antonio
- Christina’s personal running background and love for the New York City Marathon

Allie Ostrander is back on the show, and this conversation was such a joy. Allie is one of the most multifaceted athletes I know—she’s a steeplechaser, trail runner, mountain runner, and content creator on YouTube, and she’s doing it all in a way that’s authentic to who she is. I admire how she’s leaned into the things that light her up instead of feeling boxed into one lane.
We recorded this episode right before Allie raced the Stumptown Twilight meet, where she ran a 9:35 in the steeple—her fastest season opener yet—and took the win. She was tuning up for the U.S. Championships, and we talked about her mindset and training going into that race. We also looked back on her time at Boise State (three-time NCAA steeplechase champ!), her transition into the pro scene with the Brooks Beasts, and now her current chapter with Oiselle.
I loved diving into how she balances training with her YouTube channel and how she uses her platform to speak openly about her experience with an eating disorder, aiming to help others coming up behind her. We also got into some fun stuff—like what shoes she’s into right now and her recent leap into longer distances, including her debut half marathon in 71:10.
Allie is hilarious, honest, and such a strong voice in the running space. I’m always inspired by how she’s evolving and staying true to herself in the process. I know you’re going to love this one.

Hey friends! I’m so excited to welcome back a longtime friend of the show, Colleen Quigley. Colleen is a 2016 Olympian in the steeplechase, a national champion, and one of the first professional runners I ever interviewed on the podcast! It’s been a while since we’ve caught up on the show, and Colleen has so much going on in this next phase of her career.
In this episode, Colleen shares all about her newest venture: launching Meridia, a pro training group built by athletes, for athletes. We dive into why she started the team, what makes it unique, and how she’s approaching this next chapter in her running career. I love Colleen’s entrepreneurial spirit—she’s always been someone who thinks creatively about her path as an athlete, and you’ll hear that shine through in this conversation.
We also talk about the Meridia Mile, a virtual one-mile race happening on August 9th. This is such a cool way to support Meridia as they get their team off the ground. Entry is just $20, and you can use the code “another” for $5 off your registration. Plus, they’re doing fun giveaways each week when you sign up! You can get all the details at colleenquigley.org.
Colleen opens up about how this team structure allows athletes to choose their own coaches and sponsors, what it’s been like navigating injuries, and why she’s feeling really excited about what’s ahead. She also talks about her continued partnership with Lululemon, her work with Runna, and how much she’s grown since first stepping on the professional running scene with Bowerman Track Club.
This was such a fun catch-up, and I hope you enjoy hearing from Colleen as much as I loved chatting with her. If you do, it means so much if you leave a quick rating and review!
What we talked about:
- Why Colleen launched Meridia and the journey to building an athlete-led pro team
- The meaning behind the name “Meridia” and how the team’s identity came together
- Breaking the mold: how Meridia allows athletes to choose their own coaches and sponsors
- The vision for Meridia as both a team and a media company amplifying athlete stories
- Building community through events like the Meridia Mile and their weekly newsletter
- How Colleen balances entrepreneurship with her own professional running career
- Her evolving relationship with running, navigating injuries, and finding joy again
- A refreshingly honest discussion about nervous system regulation, mental health, and the physical toll of sport
- Why Colleen stepped away from the steeplechase this season to focus on the 1500 and 3k

Today on the show, I’m talking with Bailey Hertenstein! She’s a pro runner for Nike who has had such an exciting year making her debut on the pro scene. Bailey competed at Indiana University and then finished her collegiate career at Colorado—where she became a four-time All-American and placed fifth at the 2022 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
This past spring, she took second place at the USATF 5K Championships, finishing right between Josette Norris and Courtney Frerichs. Pretty incredible. She’s now coached by Pete Julian, lives and trains in Boulder, and is heading into the Sunset Tour in LA this weekend to chase that world standard in the 5K.
In this conversation, we talk about what she’s learned transitioning to the pro world, how she’s built back confidence, what motivates her now, and how she’s grown both as an athlete and a teammate. She also opens up about the hard stuff—leaving Indiana on bad terms, navigating team dynamics, and what it’s taken to move forward.
I loved this conversation with Bailey. She’s sharp, driven, honest, and someone I think we’ll be hearing a lot more from in the years to come.
Make sure to go follow Bailey on Instagram at @baileyh_.

- Transition from IU to CU
- Owning past mistakes and personal growth
- Choosing to transfer to CU
- Signing with Nike and staying in Boulder
- Adjusting to the pro running world
- Imposter syndrome and mental challenges
- Breakthrough race at USATF 5K Champs

Hey friends! Welcome to I’ll Have Another — I’m so glad you’re here.
Today I’m talking with Rachel Entrekin, the 2025 Cocodona 250 champion AND course record holder! She ran 63 hours, 58 minutes, and 15 seconds this year to not only win but also break 70 hours for the first time in the race’s history. She’s now a two-time winner, and the first person to win Cocodona back-to-back.
In this conversation, we get into Rachel’s story — her love for the trails, her life in Colorado, her work as a physical therapist, and how she’s built the strength (mentally and physically!) to take on 250+ mile races. I was blown away by her passion and the way she approaches this sport with such joy and reverence. She’s been called the Queen of Cocodona — and honestly, that title fits perfectly.
Another amazing stat? She finished fourth overall this year — up from 11th overall in 2024 — taking 10 hours off her time from last year. Just incredible.
This episode is a reminder of how cool running is. From 100-meter sprinters to ultrarunners covering hundreds of miles, there’s room for everyone in this sport. If you love the ultra scene, definitely check out The Trail Network Podcast, hosted by some of the most inspiring women in the sport: Rachel Drake, Hillary Yang, Leah Yingling, and Katie Asmuth. Their latest episode is packed with advice for new trail runners — go give it a listen.

Hey friends! I’m so excited to bring you the another episode in the Behind the Mic series today — I’ve loved hearing your feedback on this series, and it’s been such a joy connecting with other podcasters who love this space as much as I do. Today’s guest is someone I’ve been incredibly inspired by: Dominic Schlueter, the host of The Running Effect podcast.
Dominic started his podcast back in July 2020 — and get this — he was only 15 years old at the time. I actually looked back through some old emails and found pitches from him from over five years ago asking me to be a guest on his show! He just turned 20, and his growth and hustle are next-level. In 2023, he became the youngest person ever to land on Spotify’s podcast charts.
Dominic is incredibly well-researched, thoughtful, and passionate about our sport. He’s had everyone from elite athletes to a member of Congress on the show. He recently interviewed Aleksander Piotr Lingauer, who ran 61 marathons in 61 days with just a backpack — the kind of story that makes you stop and reflect on what it means to chase something real. That’s what The Running Effect is all about: inspiring people to turn their what ifs into reality.
Dominic is also putting in the work behind the scenes — he’s been on-site at events like the the Brooks PR Invitational and he’s consistently putting out high-quality content (we’re talking two Instagram posts a day!). I’m excited to see where this journey takes him.
Let me know if you’re enjoying this series! You can email me at lindsey@sandyboyproductions.com, leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts (and shout out your favorite guest!), or share the episode on social. You can tag me @lindseyhein626 and Dominic @therunningeffect.
Thanks for listening — I hope you enjoy this conversation with Dominic Schlueter!

Hey friends! I’m so excited to bring you this conversation with Erika Kemp on the podcast this week. Erika is a two-time U.S. Champion (15K and 20K), a marathoner who ran a 2:22 in Houston earlier this year, and—most recently—a first-time World Championships team member. She’s also the newest co-host on the Relay podcast team, which I’m thrilled about!
Erika has been on the show twice before—once in 2021 when she was chasing the Olympic standard with the BAA, and again in 2023 when she was building toward her Boston Marathon debut. In that race, she made history, running the fastest marathon ever by an American-born Black woman.
In this episode, we talk about the evolution of her marathon career—how she shaved over 10 minutes off her Boston time in less than a year—and what that Houston race actually felt like behind the scenes. Erika shares how she’s approached training and racing under her coach Kurt Benninger (Molly Huddle’s husband!), her experience making her first World Champs team, and what it means to her to be a mentor and voice for representation in distance running.
We also dive into what it’s been like joining the Relay crew and what you can expect from her as a co-host moving forward. I’m so pumped to have her on board and to share this deeper look at her story.
Thanks for listening and supporting the show! If you’re not already following Relay, be sure to check it out—new episodes drop every Tuesday.
Enjoy my conversation with Erika Kemp!

Today I’m joined by my friends from Believe in the Run — Thomas, Meaghan, and Robbe! If you’ve been around the running world for any amount of time, you’ve likely come across their gear reviews, seen their shakeout runs at major marathons, or tuned into one of their podcasts (The Drop or Fuel for the Sole). These three are such a fun crew and bring so much energy and connection to the running community.
We dive into how Believe in the Run got started, how they approach reviewing shoes and gear, what it’s like to create content in the running space, and how they’ve built a brand that so many runners love and trust. It’s a casual, fun conversation — I hope it feels like you’re just listening in on a group of friends chatting about all the things we love about running.
What we talked about:
1:45- Catching up with Believe in the Run team
5:35- Diving more in the trail scene this year

Hey friends! I am so excited to welcome Allie Wilson to the show. She’s someone I’ve wanted to have on for a long time, and I just knew this conversation would be a great one — and it totally delivered.
Allie is an 800m specialist and became an Olympian last year when she placed second at the U.S. Olympic Trials and competed in Paris in the 800. She’s also represented Team USA at the World Indoor Championships and is the 2024 U.S. Indoor Champion in the 800. Her resume is seriously impressive, but beyond all that, she’s just a joy to talk to.
In this episode, we talk about her journey to the Olympics, the transition she made from soccer to track, her time training with the Atlanta Track Club under Amy and Andrew Begley, and the coaching change she’s making now — which she shares here! Allie has recently moved back to New Jersey and is taking a new approach with her training, and I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings.
She also shares a bit about racing the 1500 more in the future, her mindset in training and competition, and how she’s grown through the ups and downs of elite running.
I absolutely loved this conversation and think you will too.

Hey friends! This episode of the Behind the Mic series is such a fun one. I got to sit down with my friends Tommie, Aaron, Gary from the PR Project — a running-focused media crew that’s all about amplifying culture, community, and conversation in the run space.
You may know Tommie from the Relay podcast, which I also co-host, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know him over the years. He brings such a creative energy to everything he does, and this whole PR Project is a great example of that. Two years ago, Tommie pitched the idea of bringing the PR Project to The Running Event (TRE) to do live interviews with athletes and brands — and it’s been growing ever since.
Tommie and Gary are both sub-3 marathoners, and Aaron is chasing down that same goal, so you know there’s plenty of passion and drive here. But beyond the stats, this is just a super casual conversation among friends — a look behind the scenes at what they’re building, how they approach content creation in the running space, and what it’s like to grow something from the ground up.
Right now, they’re gearing up for their Summer of Speed series, which is sponsored by Puma, and I’m so excited to see what they do with it.
Hope you enjoy listening in on this one! If you liked the episode, let the guys know (social media linked below). And if you’re enjoying the Behind the Mic series, consider supporting the show on Patreon — even $1 or $3 a month makes a big difference.

On this week’s episode of I’ll Have Another, I’m joined by Olin Hacker! Olin just won the USATF 5K Championships in Indianapolis—such an exciting race to witness, and I was lucky enough to be on the mic announcing it. He’s got an impressive range of PRs: 13:08 in the 5K, 3:36 in the 1500, and a 3:56 mile. He runs professionally for HOKA NAZ Elite out in Flagstaff.
We talk about what that win in Indy meant to him, how he’s navigating his professional career, and what it’s like training with a team like NAZ Elite. Olin also shares stories from his time at Wisconsin, where he followed in the footsteps of his dad—also a national champion. And yes, every sibling in his family ran in college, so we had to talk about that running gene, too.
We get into the mental side of racing, his experience at World Indoors where he finished 5th in the 3K, and what he’s working toward next.
What we talked about:
5:15- Winning his first national title on the roads
10:00- His family’s running legacy
16:00- His decision to join NAZ elite
20:20- How his parents cultivated a success mindset

Hey friends! We’re back with another episode of the Behind the Mic series, and I’m so excited to bring you this conversation with Jason Fitzgerald. Jason is the founder of Strength Running and the host of the Strength Running Podcast—one of the longest-running and most respected running podcasts out there.
Jason has helped so many runners of all levels chase down big goals, and one of his biggest focuses is helping people become well-rounded, injury-resistant athletes through strength training and smart programming. He also offers mental training courses and resources that go beyond the physical side of the sport.
We talk about his journey into podcasting and coaching, what it’s like to be a content creator in the running world, and the values that guide the way he shows up for his audience. He shares about his background as a 2:39 marathoner, some of his favorite interviews, and yes—we get into his “Jesus Take the Wheel 5K” strategy, which had me cracking up.
Before we recorded this episode, I actually listened to his most recent episode on The Strength Running Podcast all about creatine, featuring Brady Holmer. If you’ve been curious about creatine—what it does, how to take it, whether it’s worth the hype—I can’t recommend that episode enough. It’s super informative but also really easy to understand, and I even found myself rewinding to catch all the nuggets. Highly recommend checking that one out after this episode!
Jason is smart, thoughtful, and has a really genuine presence in this space. I loved this conversation and I think you will too.
And as always, if you’re loving the show, leaving a quick rating or review goes a long way—or you can support us on Patreon for as little as $3 a month at patreon.com/lindseyhein and you’ll get all of the episodes AD FREE!
Thanks so much for being here! Enjoy my conversation with Jason Fitzgerald.
What we talked about:
7:45- Jason’s history in running and podcasting
18:05- Injury prevention and rehab
32:00- Translatting marathon training to 5k fitness
40:20- The mental side of training
58:00- How his own running training has changed over the years

Dakotah Lindwurm is one of the most beloved runners of our time. It’s been so incredible to watch her grow in her career over the last several years. Seeing her make her first Olympic team in 2024 was something we all celebrated.
Dakotah placed 12th at the Olympics in Paris in the marathon and continues to compete with as much enthusiasm as she did all those years ago when she bet on herself and gave being a professional runner a shot. Her journey to becoming an Olympian is a bit unconventional. She ran at a DII school, wasn’t recruited to run pro but applied for a grant and started training hard.
She placed 36th at the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials – making quite the jump in 2024 to 3rd. Over the years she’s won the Grandma’s Marathon twice and has a marathon PR of 2:24:40 which she ran at the 2023 Chicago Marathon. So much to celebrate and so much to look forward to!
Thank you to the Bayshore Marathon and The Traverse City Track Club for having both Dakotah and I out for this event! It was so special to be a part of it for the second year!

Hey friends! I’m so excited to share this conversation with Allie Buchalski with you. Allie runs professionally for the Brooks Beasts, focusing on the 5,000 meters, and she’s someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for a long time. She’s incredibly down-to-earth, has a great sense of humor, and brings a thoughtful perspective to racing and training.
Allie ran for Furman University, where she finished second at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 5K. Right out of college, she signed with Brooks, and she just re-signed with them, continuing her training under coach Danny Mackey in Seattle. She recently placed fifth—just milliseconds out of fourth—at the USATF 5K Road Championships in Indianapolis, and we recorded this episode shortly after that race. Our conversation ended up being even more reflective and grounded than what we originally planned to chat about in person.
We talk about how working with a sports psychologist has shifted her mindset in racing and how that’s changed her career trajectory. Allie opens up about her love for basketball, growing up in Georgia, and the unique way she approaches racing with both intensity and joy. She also shares a bit about her goals for this season and what it means to her to represent Brooks and compete at a high level.
This was one of the easiest and most natural interviews I’ve ever recorded, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
Thanks for being here, and if you enjoy the episode, please consider leaving a rating and review or joining us over on Patreon to support the show. Happy listening!

Today on the show, I’m talking with my good friend, Matt Chittim. Matt is the host of the Rambling Runner Podcast—a longtime favorite where he highlights amateur athletes and occasionally brings pros on as well. You might also know him from his Road to the Trials series, which was hugely popular and so fun to follow.
Matt and I have really grown up in the podcasting space together, and he’s truly one of my biggest cheerleaders. But honestly? He’s that person for so many in this space—he supports and uplifts others in such a genuine way, and it’s just who he is.
He’s also the brains behind Relay, the podcast I co-host with an incredible group of people in the running world. Matt dreamed it up, pitched us all on the idea, and brought it to life with so much heart. I’m proud to be part of it and grateful that he brought me along for the ride.
Outside of podcasting, Matt is a dad of two, a former college fundraiser, and a true sports enthusiast—not just running, but across the board. I always love our conversations about other sports, too.
In this episode, we get into all of that—his path into podcasting, building a community, what drives him, and what he’s dreaming up next.
I hope you enjoy it—and if you do, it would mean a lot if you left a quick rating and review. And of course, be sure to check out Matt’s show, The Rambling Runner, and follow him over on Instagram at @rambling_runner.

Hey friends! I’m so excited to share this conversation with Serena Burla. I recently had the opportunity to emcee the Big Sur International Marathon, and as I was checking out the leaderboard, I saw Serena’s name—and I thought, wait, I know that name! Serena is a retired professional runner, and sure enough, she was out there racing—and won the marathon in 2:49.
A couple weeks later, we sat down to chat all about that experience and what it’s like to race a marathon post-retirement. Serena is a 2:26 marathoner who’s represented Team USA multiple times, including at the 2017 World Championships in London. She’s also a two-time cancer survivor. In 2010, she was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in her leg. She came back from that diagnosis to run some of her fastest races ever—and then faced a recurrence of the same cancer in 2017. Through it all, she’s continued to show up with strength, optimism, and perspective.
In this episode, we talk about her incredible career, her mindset through some of the hardest moments, and what life looks like now as a mom of three. Serena isn’t on social media, so if you’ve followed her running journey in the past, I think you’ll really love this update. She has such a beautiful spirit and I walked away from this conversation feeling really inspired.
Big thanks to the Big Sur International Marathon for connecting us—if you haven’t checked out that race yet, add it to your list!
What we talked about:
4:00- Catching up with Serena and her recent race at the Big Sur Marathon
7:00- Reflecting on Boston 2018
9:10- Her win at Big Sur
17:00- Her family
23:20- Her cancer diagnosis and battle with cancer
38:00- Her faith throughout this process
39:00- Deciding to grow her family after her cancer treatments and after her marathon career
43:10- Training leading into Big Sur
54:10- End of podcast questions

Welcome to another episode of the Behind the Mic series brought to you by Boulderthon!
This week we welcome Sarah Bowen Shea of Another Mother Runner to the podcast. Sarah is truly an OG in this space and has been creating community for 15 years with Mother Runners around the World. Her and co-founder Dimity McDowell truly paved the way as far as podcasting, community and business goes in this niche space.
The Another Mother Runner crew have training plans, retreats and so much more to offer and you can find more info on what they are up to at AnotherMotherRunner.com.
Today in this conversation Sarah and I talk about our own running and podcasting but we spend the majority of our time talking about both of our loves for pickleball. I’m a little bit newer to the game than Sarah but we both find so much joy out of this new to us sport so we wanted to share that with all of you.

Josette Andrews is one of my favorite runners to watch. Her enthusiasm for the sport is unmatched.
She won the USATF 5K Championships on the road this past weekend in Indianapolis and breaks down the race for us today! She had a great little indoor season running 14:44 for the 5K and also running a 3,000 PR.
Josette runs with On Athletics and works with Coaches Dathan Ritzenhein and Kelsey Quinn. She’s got her eyes on making the team in Tokoyo this summer on the track!

We’re taking a quick break from the Behind the Mic series this week to bring you something special—an episode all about the Bayshore Marathon! I’ll be emceeing this beautiful race on Saturday, May 24th, and whether you’re running it this year or planning ahead for the future, this episode has everything you need to know.
Joining me today are three awesome guests with deep connections to Bayshore. First up is Zach Ripley, a multiple-time Bayshore winner and 2:16 marathoner who ran at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. He’s part of the A to Z Running duo (alongside his wife, Andi), and he brings a wealth of knowledge about this course and how to approach it.
Next, you’ll hear from Sabrina Blank, known as @thatpsychedrunner on Instagram. She’s a PhD student, host of The Psyched Runner podcast, and a multi-time Bayshore finisher in both the full and half marathons. Sabrina will also be helping emcee our live podcast event on Friday, May 23rd, which I’ll be hosting with Olympian Dakotah Popehn (Lindwurm)—so it was great to chat with her about the race and all things Traverse City.
Finally, I talk with Joe Dimambro, Executive Director of Playmakers Sports, the event team behind the Bayshore Marathon. Joe walks us through everything you need to know logistically—whether it’s your first time at Bayshore or you’re coming back for more.
This course is absolutely stunning—right along Lake Michigan, tree-lined, and peaceful. If you’re already registered, make sure to grab your ticket to our live podcast recording on Friday, May 23rd at 3 p.m. at the historic Traverse City Opera House. It’s going to be a special afternoon with Dakotah and me, and we’re raffling off VIP happy hour access to a small group of attendees. You can find all the details and get your ticket at bayshoremarathon.org.
Thanks so much for tuning in—and stay tuned next week as we pick back up with the Behind the Mic series!

Today on the show, I’m joined by professional runner Emily Venters. Emily runs for Nike, lives and trains in Utah, and is coached by her college coach Kyle Kepler. This past year was a breakout season for her—her first full year as a pro—and she’s been on an incredible trajectory ever since.
Emily made her half marathon debut in Houston, running 68:48 and placing seventh, even after taking a hard fall at the start of the race. She followed that up with a fifth-place finish at the U.S. Half Marathon Championships and broke 15 minutes in the indoor 5K—something that had been a longtime goal of hers. Last fall, she placed second at the Road 5K Championships and won the Sound Running Cross Country Championships.
Emily’s collegiate career included time at Boise State, the University of Colorado, and the University of Utah. She’s about to start nursing school while continuing to train and race at a high level, and she thrives with a full plate. In this episode, we talk about her move up to the half marathon, when she might make the jump to the full marathon, and what it’s been like adjusting to life as a professional athlete. We also dive into her support system growing up, including the role her parents played in her journey to becoming a pro.
I loved getting to know Emily—her energy, determination, and humility really shine through in this conversation. She’ll be racing at the USATF 5K Championships in Indianapolis, and I can’t wait to see how she does.
What we talked about:
4:00- Starting nursing school
6:55- Emily’s half marathon debut
12:30- The decision to focus on one event going forward
19:20- Her mental health over the past few years
26:20- Her college career and professional career so far
44:00- Her nursing career goals

Welcome back to the Behind the Mic series on I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein! Today’s episode is especially fun because I’m introducing you to a brand-new show that’s officially joined the SandyBoy Productions Podcast Network—Miles with Moms! This podcast is for moms who run, by moms who run, and it’s all about making sure mother runners never feel alone—on the run or in motherhood.
The show is hosted by four amazing women: Whitney Heins, Shanna Burchett, Tricia Denardis, and Olivia Garcia—all incredibly fast, inspiring, and relatable moms who are living the running-mom life right alongside us. Whitney is the founder of The Mother Runners, a VDOT-certified coach, and a 2:54 marathoner who ran both her marathon and 1:20 half PRs in her 40s. Shanna, known as @motherhood_running on Instagram with over 120,000 followers, is a mom of six and ran a 2:44 marathon after returning to the sport in 2022 following an 11-year break. Tricia is a mom of three and a pelvic floor physical therapist who now focuses on ultras. And Olivia, a mom of two and former paramedic, has chopped over an hour off her marathon time—running a 2:57.
In this episode, I introduce each host and give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Miles with Moms came to life. You can find links to all four hosts’ Instagram handles and learn more about the podcast at sandyboyproductions.com under the Miles with Moms tab.
Let’s give these amazing women a warm welcome to the network, and I hope you’ll check out their show. I’m so excited to have them on board—and can’t wait for what’s ahead!

Today on the show, I’m excited to welcome back Charlotte Purdue! Charlotte is a professional runner from Great Britain who now runs for Puma, and this is actually her third time joining the podcast. She was first on in Episode 190 after becoming the third-fastest British female marathoner ever at the time, running 2:25 at the London Marathon. Then, in Episode 382, she came back after finishing ninth at the 2022 Boston Marathon.
Since then, Charlotte has continued to make huge strides in her career, lowering her marathon personal best to 2:22 at the Berlin Marathon. She earned a spot on the British team for the Paris Olympics—a dream years in the making. Unfortunately, just a couple of weeks before the Games, she rolled her ankle and had to make the heartbreaking decision to withdraw. I still remember seeing her announcement and feeling so sad for her.
In this conversation, Charlotte shares how she bounced back from that disappointment, what her recovery looked like (including getting a new puppy to lift her spirits!), and the new perspective she’s carrying into this next season. She’s running the London Marathon this weekend—her second race since returning from injury—and I can’t wait to see how she does. Charlotte has such a grounded, positive mindset about running and life, and it was so great to catch up with her.
Thanks so much for tuning in—please enjoy my conversation with Charlotte Purdue!
What we talked about:
4:35- Catching up with Charlotte
11:10- Charlotte’s heartbreak with the Olympics
19:50- Her comeback after injury and getting back to racing
23:25- Goals for the London Marathon

Welcome back to this special Behind the Mic series on I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein, where I’m interviewing fellow podcasters and running media voices that I love listening to. Today’s guest is Jonathan Levitt, host of the For the Long Run podcast.
If you’re already a listener of his show, you know it’s all about exploring the why—what keeps athletes going and how they keep growing, both in sport and in life. Jonathan’s had on some of the best in the sport, and his podcast dives into the connection between running, mindset, and life beyond the finish line.
Jonathan and I have been friends in this industry for a long time. He’s been consistently encouraging, helpful, and supportive—and I have to give him a big shoutout for helping make this series happen. He even hustled to bring Boulderthon on board as a sponsor, and is personally sponsoring a few episodes through For the Long Run as well. So if you’re loving this series, you can thank him for that!
In this episode, we talk about his own running journey, including what it meant to him to break three hours in the marathon—and even what it didn’t mean. He actually helped me work through some of my own feelings around that goal, and I think his perspective will resonate with a lot of listeners. We also get into the podcasting business, lessons from years in this space, and how he’s approached his work with InsideTracker and other ventures.
Jonathan lives in Boulder, Colorado, and will be at Boulderthon this fall—along with some of your other favorite names in the running and podcast world. I hope you enjoy this conversation and come away with a little inspiration and insight into what keeps runners, and creators, going strong.
All right, friends—please enjoy my conversation with Jonathan Levitt.
What we talked about:
6:30- Catching up with Jon
7:30- His goals to have adventures with running throughout the summer
9:25- Marathoning history
24:25- His career in the podcasting space and beyond
37:00- Jon’s experience with ADHD and finding it to be a superpower

Today on the show, I’m joined by Katie Asmuth, one of the co-hosts of the Trail Network podcast, which is part of the SandyBoy Productions family. If you haven’t listened to Trail Network yet—this is your sign. The show is hosted by four incredible women in the trail running space: Rachel Drake, Leah Yingling, Katie Asmuth, and Hilary Yang. Together, they bring to life the untold stories of magical moments on and off the trail—capturing the heart of trail running, friendship, and connection.
A few standout episodes I’d recommend: episode 50 with Hillary Yang and Sarah Attar—who competed for Saudi Arabia in both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and is now a celebrated photographer—and episode 46, where Leah talks with Alexis Crellin about raising resilient kids while chasing big goals. That one really hit home for me.
Now, let’s talk about Katie. She’s the mother of two, a nurse practitioner, and a professional trail runner for HOKA. Katie has three top-10 finishes at Western States—including a 5th-place finish in 2021, 9th in 2022 (which she shares more about in this episode), and 4th in 2023. She recently ran a self-supported FKT through Joshua Tree and is getting back to racing after overcoming some major injuries over the past couple of years. She spent several years with Saucony and is now part of the HOKA team, which she’s really excited about.
Katie lives and trains in Mammoth Lakes, California, and if you’re not already following her, you should be—she’s @kt_asmuth on Instagram. This episode is short and sweet, but I left the conversation so inspired by her energy, grit, and openness. I hope it does the same for you—and I hope you’ll check out her podcast while you’re at it!
All right, friends—enjoy my conversation with Katie Asmuth.

7:00- Living in Mammoth

We’re continuing the Behind the Mic series where I’m chatting with fellow podcasters in the running space. I hope you’re enjoying these conversations as much as I am. Today, I’m talking with Angie and Trevor Spencer, the husband-and-wife duo behind Marathon Training Academy—truly one of the original running podcasts out there.
They launched the show way back in 2010 (yes, seriously—2010), and they’ve grown a massive community and business through it. Angie and Trevor have traveled all over the world running races, hosting events, and supporting athletes through their coaching programs. If you’re looking for coaching, you can check out all they offer at marathontrainingacademy.com.
Angie has run 72 marathons—including six ultras—with a PR of 3:19. She’s run a marathon in every single U.S. state and has qualified for Boston in all 50 states. She’s a USATF Level 1 and RRCA Level 2 certified coach. Trevor, who once hated running, now has 24 marathons, a 50K, and 27 half marathons under his belt. He’s run races in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, Japan, the UK, Slovakia—you name it. He’s passionate about using running as a way to explore the world and connect with people, and that comes through in everything he does behind the mic.
Their podcast recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary (check out their April 2nd episode for that milestone!), which is absolutely incredible. Their longevity and consistency are a testament to their love for this sport and the community they’ve built.
In this episode, we talk about their journey with the podcast and running, parenting three boys, and I couldn’t resist asking them for some tips on raising boys—since they’re a few steps ahead of me. I really appreciated their honest insights and the warmth they brought to this conversation.
If you’re enjoying this series, a quick rating and review on iTunes or Spotify goes a long way—it helps more people find the show and lets me know what’s resonating with you.
All right friends, please enjoy my conversation with Angie and Trevor Spencer.
What we talked about:

We’ve got Jess McClain on the show today! She’ll be running her fifth marathon in Boston next weekend—can you believe Marathon Monday is almost here? This will be Jess’s second time on the podcast; the first was shortly after the 2024 Olympic Marathon Trials, where she placed fourth and had everyone wondering, “Wait, who is this woman?” But Jess definitely didn’t come out of nowhere.
She’s a former 5,000m standout, an All-American at Stanford, and a high school star coached by Dr. Jeff Messer—who, by the way, was on this podcast as part of our coaching series last year (check that one out if you haven’t – episode 578!). Jess took a break from professional running during COVID but was previously training with the Brooks Beasts. She’s now back, stronger than ever, and her fourth-place finish at the Trials came with a four-minute PR—running 2:25:46.
Since then, she’s gone on to place fourth in both the 10,000m at the Olympic Trials on the track and the USA Half Marathon Championships. Fourth place again and again—but what stands out about Jess is the grace she shows after each race. In this episode, she shares how she’s taken the pressure off chasing podiums and learned to embrace racing for more than just the result.
Jess ran her first major last fall in New York, where she placed eighth in 2:27:19. Now she’s headed to Boston for her second major, carrying lessons learned and a fresh mindset. She also won the USA 10K title last year at the Great Cow Harbor 10K and has been back on the track—something she didn’t think she’d return to.
In addition to running professionally for Brooks, Jess works full-time with the Love Up and Love Pup Foundations. The Love Up Foundation supports children in foster care and spreads love and kindness in the community. Her energy is incredible, and I just love celebrating all that she’s doing in and beyond the sport. Can’t wait to see what she does in Boston!
What we talked about:
5:00- How training for Boston has looked
16:45- Finding peace in the results
30:45- Breaking 31 in the 10k alongside Emily Infeld
37:00- What it has looked like in her return to professional running
54:50- Running for Brooks
58:00- Thoughts on Grand Slam

Today we’re continuing the Behind the Mic series, and I’m so excited to share this conversation with my friend Ali Feller. I know for a fact that almost every one of you listening right now probably tunes into her podcast too—the Ali on the Run Show. Like Tina Muir and I, Ali and I grown up in this podcasting space together. She’s been a consistent voice in the running community, but her influence goes back even further.
Before launching her podcast, Ali built a huge following through her blog, writing about running, Crohn’s disease, and life in New York City. That loyal audience followed her to the podcast, where she’s built a truly massive show and an incredibly supportive community. Beyond the podcast, Ali is a race announcer, live podcast host, and has done broadcasting work with major events. She works closely with the New York Road Runners (NYRR) and the Boston Athletic Association (BAA).
A few years ago, Ali was diagnosed with breast cancer and shared her journey so openly with her community. She continued to work through it all, and the love and support she received from her friends and listeners really lifted her up. We talk about that journey in this episode, along with her career, motherhood, and what it’s like to be on the other side of the mic for once.
Ali is also the announcer for the Boulderthon this fall—one of the fastest growing races in America, ranked a top 10 fall marathon by Runner’s World and USA Today. Think big city energy meets small-town charm, with a gorgeous Pearl Street finish. If you’re planning to run, don’t wait—spots are filling fast! The race is September 28th, and you can save $20 on the half marathon or marathon with the code HEIN20 at boulderthon.org.
If you enjoy this series or anything we’re doing on I’ll Have Another, please consider leaving a quick rating and review. It makes a huge difference. And remember, you can support the show at patreon.com/lindseyhein to get all episodes totally ad free and a day early for just $3/month.

Really excited to bring you another track star on the podcast—Grant Fisher joins us today! Grant had the year of his life in 2024, bringing home two bronze medals from the Paris Olympics in both the 5,000m and the 10,000m. He made history as the first American ever to medal in both of those events at the same Olympic Games. Pretty incredible.
He also competed in the Tokyo Olympics, where he placed ninth in the 5,000m and fifth in the 10,000m. Since then, he’s continued to level up. Just this year, he ran three indoor races back-to-back-to-back: the 1500m, the 3000m, and the 5000m. In the process, he broke two WORLD RECORDS—in the 3000m and the 5000m—two weeks in a row.
Grant runs for Nike and is now gearing up for the Grand Slam series. You’ll catch him in Kingston this weekend, followed by the Miami Slam and the Philadelphia Slam, all leading into USA’s and hopefully the World Championships later this season.
It was a blast to get to know Grant—not just as an elite runner, but as someone who grew up in a super athletic family. He ran for Stanford and has two siblings who also compete at a high level, though in soccer. I’ve wanted to have him on the show for a long time, and if you heard my interview with Kara Goucher and Des Linden earlier this year, you might remember me saying, “I really want to interview Grant Fisher.” Well, here we are!

I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein LIVE! at Bottleworks
Welcome to the running podcaster series! I’m bringing you a collection of conversations with fellow podcasters in the running space—people I know you already love and maybe a few new voices you’ll be excited to discover. My hope is to link arms with these wonderful humans and share their stories and perspectives with you. You might listen to some of them every week, but don’t often get to hear them on the other side of the mic. I think that’s going to be a fun shift for you.
We’re kicking things off with my friend Tina Muir, host of the Running for Real podcast. If you’ve followed her over the last few years—really since around 2021—you’ve probably noticed the way she’s used her platform as a vehicle for social change, especially in advocating for the health of our environment. Tina has raised the bar for major races across the country, including the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon, the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, and the AJC Peachtree Road Race, helping these events improve their sustainability efforts. She serves on the board of directors for both Running USA and Earth Day 365.
Tina is also the co-author of Becoming a Sustainable Runner: A Guide to Running for Life, Community, and Planet, which she wrote with Zoë Rom. If you’re interested in using running as a force for good, I highly recommend checking it out.
She’s a former elite runner, a mom of two, and someone I’ve known since the early days of my own podcasting journey. When I first started, she was hosting the Run to the Top podcast. In 2017, she launched Running for Real, and we’ve kind of grown up in this industry together. It’s been so fun to watch her lean more and more into the things she cares deeply about. She’s still so connected—if not more than ever—to the running community, and she’s carved out a powerful space around sustainability and advocacy within that.
Tina always brings a call to action when she speaks—not because it’s rehearsed, but because that’s who she is. She leads with her heart and shares what matters to her. More than anything, I hope you enjoy this conversation and that it kicks off this series in the best possible way—with someone who cares just as much about running as you and I do.

My guest today is Brittany Brown, a standout sprinter who has made waves on the international stage. Brittany is our 2024 bronze medalist in the 200 meters from the Paris Olympics and a 200-meter World Silver Medalist from the 2019 World Championships in Doha. In 2023, she competed in the 100 meters at the World Championships and finished seventh. Brittany’s ran for the University of Iowa, where she earned 11 All-American honors.
Most recently, she competed at the inaugural Athlos track meet in the fall, where she won the 200 meters, beating none other than Olympic champion and meet co-founder, Gabby Thomas. Brittany also raced in both the 100 meters that day. Looking ahead, she’ll be a key athlete in the highly anticipated Grand Slam Track series, which kicks off in Jamaica, followed by stops in Miami and Philadelphia. I can’t wait to see her race at these exciting meets!
Brittany is coached by Boogie Johnson, and during this episode, we dive into her journey from her days at the University of Iowa to turning pro. She shares what it was like to run for Adidas for a while and how her transition to Nike has shaped her career. We also touch on some health challenges she has faced and overcome along the way.
It was such a joy interviewing Brittany—seriously, I didn’t want the conversation to end. I’m officially a fan for life! Watching her race is a thrill, and with World Championships coming up this year, as well as USAs, it’s going to be an exciting time to follow her journey. While we usually focus on marathons here, track season is upon us, and I’m thrilled to bring you these conversations with some of our incredible track stars. Make sure you’re tuning into Grand Slam Track to watch Brittany in action!
What we talked about:
7:00- Reflecting on her Olympic experience
24:25- Her coach and training setup
38:00- Brittany’s health complications
1:00:00- Emotions after winning her Olympic medal
1:02:45- Athlos and Grand Slam track

I’m excited to bring you this conversation with Taylor Roe, who recently won the 2025 USATF Half Marathon Championships with an impressive time of 67 minutes and 22 seconds on a tough course in Atlanta. This victory was a personal best for Taylor, improving her time by over a minute.
What makes this win even more remarkable is that it came as a surprise to many. Taylor has mentioned in several post-race interviews that her goal was to make the team, and winning the race wasn’t necessarily on her radar. But she made it happen. Along with Taylor, Emma Grace Hurley and Amanda Vestri—both of whom have also been guests on this show recently—secured spots on the team as well. This means we’ll be sending a very strong trio of athletes to the World Championships in the half marathon.
Taylor is part of Puma Elite in the Raleigh-Durham area, which is exciting for me personally since I also live in the region. She’s coached by Alistair and Amy Cragg. Interestingly, Taylor debuted in the half marathon at the Houston half, and we get to talk about that experience, as well as her decision to race in the Half Marathon Championships. While Taylor loves the track, she’s currently focused on the 10,000 meters and gearing up for some races on the track.
Taylor ran for Oklahoma State University, where she was an NCAA Indoor Champion, the 2023 Big 12 Champion in the 5,000 meters, and runner-up in the 2021 NCAA Cross Country Championships. She credits her college coach, Dave Smith, for playing a significant role in shaping her career. Last summer, she finished eighth in the 5,000 meters at the US Olympic Trials, and we all know that Taylor’s path will eventually lead to the marathon. But for now, she’s focused on maximizing her potential on the track before taking that step.
It’s clear that an exciting career lies ahead for Taylor Roe, and I’m honored to have had her on the podcast this week.

I’m beyond excited to bring a track athlete to the podcast today—two-time Olympic silver medalist and world championship silver medalist, Kenny Bednarek! He won silver in the 200 meters at the Tokyo Olympics, the Paris Olympics, and the 2022 World Championships. Not to mention, he’s also a 10-time Diamond League champion and runs for Nike.
If you’ve seen the Sprint documentary, you’ll recognize Kenny, as he was highlighted in season two, which was really cool to watch. Aside from his incredible accomplishments on the track, Kenny is also an advocate for adoption. He is from Wisconsin. We talked about his journey, which includes running at the community college level for Indian Hills Community College and then turning pro after a year.
One of the coolest parts of this episode was when I found out how excited my kids were about this interview—they were definitely more excited about talking to a sprinter than any long-distance runner I’ve had on. So, I made sure to sneak in a few questions from them, which was a fun twist!
We also dove into a bit of football talk because Kenny actually used to play the sport. Fun fact: his high school team won both the state championships in track and field and football during his senior year.
Kenny is also gearing up for the Grand Slam series as a racer—this is the new competition series that Michael Johnson’s team is putting on, and it’s going to be really exciting! The first event, the Kingston Slam, takes place from April 4th to 6th. After that, there will be one competition each month through June, including the Miami Slam, the Philadelphia Slam, and the LA Slam. Kenny is one of 96 athletes competing in this series, and I can’t wait to see how this brings even more exposure and excitement to the sport of track and field!
What we talked about:
7:30- Kenny’s training group
14:00- Reflections on some of his Olympic and World Champs teams
16:25- Kenny’s girlfriend and how they met
21:45- Grand Slam Track and growing the sport
27:00- His adoption story
34:50- Kenny’s time playing football
41:35- What his trajectory in the sport looks like to him
45:45- Technique in the sprints
52:00- Picking himself up after dissapointing results
55:40- Questions form the Hein boys
1:00:00- Competing for a junior college and then going pro

Today on the show, we’re joined by the incredible Calli Hauger-Thackery, and wow, she’s definitely one to watch right now. She just ran a massive PR in Japan, clocking in a time of 66:58 for the half marathon, which placed her second. Recently, she also returned to the track for the first time in eight years, where she raced indoors.
Calli’s versatility as an athlete is truly something to admire. She made her marathon debut at the McKirdy Micro Marathon in 2023, where she won with an impressive 2:22:17. That victory set the stage for an incredible year ahead. Not long after, she was selected to represent Great Britain at the Paris Olympics, although she had to DNF that race due to a variety of challenges. We dive into all of that in the episode.
But Calli didn’t stop there. She came back strong, running a PR of 2:21:24 in Berlin, and then went on to win the California International Marathon (CIM) last year with a 2:24:28, including a thrilling sprint to the finish. She’s sponsored by Nike and coached by her husband, Nick, and she’s been crushing some truly fast times.
We recorded this before the Gate River Run, but Calli went on the win that last weekend. She’ll also be running the TEN 10k on the track and is preparing for her first Boston Marathon in April. It’s going to be an exciting time for her, and she’s just such a positive presence in the running world, always bringing great energy and showing up alongside all of these amazing women running incredible times.
Enjoy!

Today, my guest is Kellyn Taylor, and I’m so happy to have her back on the podcast! Kellyn is a returning guest, and she’s been on the show multiple times over the eight years I’ve been hosting. Most recently, we had her on just before the Olympic marathon trials last February. Kellyn’s got some exciting races coming up. She’s gearing up for the US Half Marathon Championships this weekend, and she recently ran the Mesa Half Marathon, where she had an amazing race, finishing second with a time of 69:15.
Right now, Kellyn is also training for Boston, where she’ll be running this spring. She’s also got the New York City Half on her schedule. So, lots of great races ahead! Kellyn ran for Hoka NAZ Elite for a decade, and we’ve all watched her and that team grow and achieve incredible things over the years. It feels like I’ve kind of grown up alongside her in the industry.
But this past year, Hoka made the decision to drop Kellyn, along with Steph Bruce and Lauren Hagans, some of the team’s original members. We talk with Kellyn about how she’s processed that change over the last few months, what’s been going on in her world since, and what new shoes she’s trying out. We also dive into the topic of ageism, because as Kellyn puts it, nobody gets to decide when your career ends—only you get to decide that.
Last year was definitely a tough one for Kellyn. I think she called it a “hard year but a decent year”—she says it in the episode, but it was a year of recovery after some injuries. Despite that, she managed to place 15th at the US Olympic Marathon Trials, and then she went on to place sixth in the 10,000 meters at the US Trials. After that, she placed 10th in New York, running a 2:27:59. That was actually her worst finish ever at New York, but it’s still incredible. She’s always been in the top 10 there, and it was her fifth time racing the course.
I’m really excited for Kellyn and what’s ahead for her in 2025. She’s got big goals and is looking forward to trying new things this year. I’ll definitely be cheering hard for her. So, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Kellyn Taylor.
What we talked about:
3:00- Catching up with Kellyn
5:05- Running the half marathon championships this weekend
12:50- The cuts from HOKA and reflections on her past few years
18:00- NYC Marathon

In this episode, we’re sitting down with professional marathoner Annie Frisbie, who runs for Puma and has been with them since 2021. Annie made her marathon debut that same year at the 2021 New York City Marathon, where she ran an impressive 2:26:18 and finished in seventh place. I’m not sure why it took me this long to get Annie on the podcast, but I’m so glad we finally made it happen!
Annie’s been recovering from a hamstring injury after the Chicago Marathon this past fall, where she ran a solid 2:27:52. But now, she’s gearing up for her second Boston Marathon, and I can’t wait to see how she tackles that iconic course a second time around. We all know how much we learn from our first time running Boston, so it’ll be interesting to hear about what she’s doing differently this year.
Annie trains with the Minnesota Distance Elite team, alongside one of our favorites, Dakota Lindwurm, who’s also a great friend and training partner of Annie’s. Before her professional career, Annie ran for Iowa State, and we get into that a bit too. It was such a pleasure to sit down and chat with Annie, and I think you’ll enjoy getting to know her in this episode.
What we talked about:
3:00- Gearing up for the Boston Marathon!
10:00- What her recovery looks like from injuries
21:45- Sub 3 project with Puma
23:40- What’s ahead for Annie

I’m so excited to share this conversation with Amanda Vestri, who is an absolute joy to interview. She’s got a lot to say about her goals with running and how her mindset has evolved over time. It was inspiring hearing her talk about how she views the sport and what’s ahead for her.
Recently, Amanda ran an impressive 67:35 at the Houston Half Marathon, marking her second-ever half. Her debut was in Orlando, where she won and ran 68:12. She was initially supposed to run the Valencia Half, known for its speed, but due to an injury that popped up just weeks before, she had to pull out. Instead, she raced in Orlando and then in Houston, which led to an amazing result. At Houston, she finished as the second American behind Weini Kelati, and fourth overall. With the Half Marathon Championships coming up in Atlanta this March, it’s going to be exciting to see Amanda, Weini, and many other fast women battling it out. The field will be stacked!
Amanda is sponsored by Brooks and runs with ZAP Fitness. She ran for Syracuse University after initially starting her college career at Iowa State. In our conversation, she reflects on her journey post-college and how it wasn’t quite what she expected. The path to finding the right team and sponsorship wasn’t smooth at first, but ZAP Fitness really gave her the opportunity she needed. And now she has a sponsorship with Brooks!
Speaking of her sponsorship with Brooks, she shares a wild story about signing her deal just an hour before the Olympic Trials, which is something I found so interesting. Amanda also had an amazing result at the Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters, finishing fifth while coming off a COVID recovery, which is an incredible accomplishment given the competition.
She currently lives in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, where ZAP Fitness is based, and it’s always a pleasure to chat with her. I know when she runs her first marathon, it’s going to be something special.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Thanks for being here and enjoy my chat with Amanda Vestri.
What we talked about:
3:00- Reflections on her first year as a pro
9:45- Her recent half marathon success
25:10- How she is feeling walking away from Houston

Today, we have Paralympian Hannah Dederick on the show. Hannah is a two-time Paralympian and a wheelchair athlete in the T-54 class. She competed in the Tokyo Paralympics at just 18 years old, making her the youngest wheelchair athlete at those Games. In Tokyo, she placed fourth in the 100 meters. At the Paris Paralympics, she competed in the 100, 400, and 800 meters, finishing sixth in the 100, fourth in the 400, and seventh in the 800, making it to all three event finals.
In addition to her Paralympic achievements, Hannah is a three-time marathoner, having competed in the New York, Boston, and Chicago marathons. She also made history by winning the first-ever National Collegiate Wheelchair Championship in the 100 meters at Hayward Field. This was a major milestone, as it marked the first time there had been a National Collegiate Wheelchair Championship, alongside other events like basketball and tennis. Big progress is being made in the world of para-sport!
Hannah’s story is truly incredible. Born in China with spina bifida, she was adopted at the age of four from an orphanage. She discovered para-sport at the age of 12 through her local Shriners Hospital, and from there, the rest is history. She has been competing in para-sport for over 10 years now, making her world stage debut at just 16 years old. Currently, she is studying at the University of Illinois.
Hannah’s journey is remarkable, and I’m excited for you to hear her story. I hope this conversation not only inspires you but also opens your eyes to the world of para-sport.
Thanks for being here, and please enjoy my conversation with Hannah Dederick.

Being a part of the first ever NCAA Wheelchair Track Championships
The importance of inclusion in college sports
Where she finds strength on hard training days

I’m excited to share that my guest on today’s podcast is Emily Infeld. We all love Emily! She’s a regular here on the I’ll Have Another Podcast, and it’s always such a pleasure to have her back on. My favorite story about Emily goes way back to 2016, when I first started this podcast. I had this idea that maybe I could get some professional athletes to come on the show, and Emily was one of the very first pros to say yes.
It’s been really cool to see how far both of us have come since then. As I’ve progressed in my podcasting journey, I’ve been able to cheer Emily on, watch her grow, and see all the incredible things she’s been doing in the sport. Not only has she achieved amazing things on the track, but she’s also become such a powerful advocate for mental health, which is something that resonates with so many people. Emily is one of the most real, authentic people I know in this sport, and I’m excited to share this conversation with you.
For a little background, Emily is a 2015 World Silver Medalist in the 10,000 meters, and a 2018 Silver Medalist at the US Cross Country Championships. She’s represented Team USA six times, and she competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics. She was with Nike for a long time (over 12 years!!), and just recently announced that she’ll be joining the Brooks Running team.
Emily is one of those people who is so easy to talk to—kind, genuine, and you feel that authenticity in every conversation with her. It really comes through in this interview. So, please enjoy my conversation with the wonderful Emily Infeld!
What we talked about:
3:15- Emily’s new partnership with Brooks
5:05- Emily’s goals going forward
12:55- Reflections on her Olympic Trials in 2024

Today on the podcast, I’m excited to share my conversation with American record holder Weini Kelati. She recently ran 66:09, breaking her own American record in the half marathon at the Houston Half Marathon, where she placed second. Weini is an absolute force in distance running, and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Can you even imagine what will happen when she finally lines up for her first marathon? There are so many exciting things ahead for her career.
Weini was the 10,000 meter champion at the Olympic Trials last summer, and she went on to place eighth in the 10,000 at the Olympics. She’s an Under Armour athlete, coached and represented by Stephen Haas, and trains with the Dark Sky Distance group in Flagstaff.
In 2014, when she was just 17 years old, Weini traveled from her home country of Eritrea to Eugene, Oregon, to compete in the 3,000 meters at the World Junior Championships. After the race, she made the decision to stay in the U.S. She found a place to live in Leesburg, Virginia, and went on to finish high school, all while running for her high school team, getting a job, and learning English—all completely independently at just 17. She then went on to run for the University of New Mexico, where she won the 2019 NCAA Cross-Country Championship.
I have to say, this conversation is not long enough to cover Weini’s entire journey, but she’s been through a lot and has worked incredibly hard to get where she is today. I can’t wait for her to write a book one day because it’s going to be an amazing story. Anyway, I hope you’re as excited as I am to hear this conversation. Big thanks to Stephen Haas and his agency for making this happen. Enjoy the conversation!
What we talked about:
3:00- Breaking her own American Record in Houston
10:35- Looking ahead to the half marathon championships
14:00- Racing different distances and how fast of times are being run in women’s track right now

Today on the podcast, we’re excited to welcome back Dani Jones, a professional runner for New Balance. Dani has recently announced a significant change in her training: she’ll be joining the Very Nice Track Club, where she’ll be coached by Ron Warhurst and Sierra Willis. Before this move, Dani had been training with Team Boss and Coach Joe Bosshard since graduating from the University of Colorado, where she was a four-time NCAA champion. Dani reflects on her time with Team Boss and how incredible of a team environment they had there.
In this episode, Dani shares her plans to experiment with different race distances. Last summer, she ran a personal best in the 1500 meters, running a time of 4:00 flat, and placed ninth at the U.S. Olympic Trials in both 2021 and 2024. Now at 28 years old, Dani is gearing up for the indoor season and looking forward to a new chapter in her career with this change in both her training environment and coaching team. With so much potential still ahead, Dani has a lot to be excited about.
For those interested in hearing Dani’s first appearance on the podcast, our first conversation (episode 256!!) with Dani was back in 2020 when she had just turned pro and was navigating the strange times of the COVID era. It was great to catch up and hear about all the exciting changes in her career since then.
Enjoy my conversation with Dani Jones!

4:00- Leaving Team Boss and reflections on her four years there
8:20- What it looked like searching for a new team and coach

We have a truly phenomenal athlete on the podcast today, Trevon Jenifer. Trevon is a three-time Paralympic gold medalist, a one-time Paralympic bronze medalist, and a world champion for Team USA. He plays wheelchair basketball and was born with congenital phocomelia, a rare condition in which a person is born without lower limbs. In this episode, Trevon shares what life was like growing up without lower limbs and how he discovered adaptive sports.
Before excelling in wheelchair basketball, Trevon was a wrestler. He has represented Team USA for over 15 years. He’s also a proud father of two and works for the Secret Service.
In our conversation, Trevon opens up about his passion for hard work, the immense sacrifices he’s made to reach his goals, and the crucial role that mindset plays in his success. I know you’ll take away so much from this inspiring conversation with him. It was truly an honor to interview Trevon for the podcast.
On a personal note, I recently watched wheelchair basketball in the Paralympics, and it was absolutely incredible. It’s been so exciting to see how much more media attention and coverage the Paralympics are getting this year. Let’s keep that momentum going! With the Olympics and Paralympics coming to LA in 2028, there’s a huge opportunity to bring even more visibility to these sports. So let’s keep supporting and cheering on these amazing athletes.
Please enjoy my conversation with Trevon Jenifer!
What we talked about:
5:15- Trevon’s backstory and being born without legs
16:30- His path to the Paralympics and his training
19:00- Watching his kids become athletes

We’ve got a great episode today with Katie Izzo. I first met Katie at the 2023 Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis. I had the opportunity to be part of a panel with her and a few other pro athletes at the expo, and later, I got to announce her victory in the half marathon there – which was her debut half marathon. That was back in 2023, and since then, she’s been running super well. Just recently, she ran another personal best in the half marathon in Orlando, dropping 16 seconds for a new PR of 70 minutes and 27 seconds.
Katie has an impressive resume. She’s represented Team USA in cross country at the World Cross Country Championships, and she also recently placed third at the Sound Running Cross Country Championships. This summer she competed in her second Olympic Trials, where she placed 13th in the 10,000 meters. While that wasn’t the place she had hoped for, she’ll share more about her journey to the start line and the lessons she’s learned from that experience. Katie also competed in the 2020 (well, technically 2021) Olympic Trials, representing Arkansas, where she had an incredible college career. She placed third at the NCAA Cross Country Championships and helped lead her team to an NCAA championship title in cross country. Katie also spent time competing for Cal Poly during her undergrad, and now she runs for Adidas, calling Flagstaff home as her training base.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Katie!
What we talked about:
4:45- Her training team, running for Adidas, and moving to Flagstaff
9:15- Her college career
20:10- The decision to run professionally
22:45- Her two Olympic Trials experiences
32:15- Her half marathon debut
38:45- Making Team USA for cross country
41:15- Plans to run a marathon
32:55- Injuries that she battled this year leading into the Olympic Trials
46:30- What’s next for Katie – Houston Half

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re continuing with a special series where we step outside the world of running and hear from athletes in other sports. Normally, you tune in for interviews with professional and everyday runners, but today, we’re joined by mountain biker and Olympian, Savilia Blunk. Savilia is an eight-time national champion and recently competed in the Paris Olympics, where she placed 12th.
During our conversation, we discuss what it’s like to reach the pinnacle of the sport—making the Olympic team—and what it feels like to walk away from a race with both triumphs and disappointments. Savilia opens up about how she’s moving forward in her training after the Olympics and how she’s approaching her next steps as an elite athlete.
What I love most about this series is the opportunity to view the world of sport through the eyes of athletes who excel in disciplines outside of running. There’s so much we can learn from them, particularly when it comes to developing a champion’s mindset. Whether they’re on a bike, in a rowing boat, scaling a rock wall, or spiking a volleyball, these athletes are tackling their own challenges and bringing invaluable insights to the table.
We’ve had the privilege of speaking with some incredible athletes in this series, and I encourage you to check out the other interviews, which will be linked in the show notes. Even though we’re talking about different sports, there’s a lot of crossover, especially in the mental aspects of training, and I think you’ll find the episodes just as engaging as this one.
For me personally, as a parent, these conversations are a great opportunity to reflect on how I can encourage my own kids to be hard workers and to take pride in all the things they care about. As I mention in this episode, it’s a delicate balance—teaching kids to push themselves, work hard, and strive for excellence, while also allowing them the freedom to explore and enjoy what they do. Moving our bodies should be fun, and hard work can be, too.
If you’re enjoying this series, or know someone who might appreciate hearing from athletes outside of the running world, please share the episode with them. The best way to support the podcast is by leaving a rating or review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy my conversation with Savilia Blunk!
What we talked about:
4:30- Savilia’s introduction to the sport
12:05- Learning how to work hard
15:10- How she is feeling coming off of the Olympics
27:15- Bike maintenance
29:35- When she plans to get married
30:20- The moment that she qualified for the Olympics and how the qualification system works
39:30- How cross country mountain biking works and what the course is like

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my favorite people in the running World—Kara Goucher and Des Linden. That’s right, these two incredible women are not only co-hosts of the podcast Nobody Asked Us, but they’re also beloved athletes in the running world. Both have been on this show multiple times, and it’s always such a pleasure to chat with them. Kara, who used to host The Relay podcast with me (a short-lived but super fun time, we all miss her over there!!), and of course, Des—who we all know for her unforgettable 2018 Boston Marathon win. But what I think stands out most about Des is her remarkable consistency over the years and the way she’s always shown up, not just for herself but for the running community. “Keep showing up” is her motto, and so many in the running world have adopted that phrase!
Both Kara and Des are also authors. They are both authors—Kara’s Running for Women and Des’ Choosing to Run—and it’s been so fun watching their friendship blossom over the past year, especially as they teamed up to launch their podcast. We talk a bit about the evolution of their relationship and podcast in this episode. Kara is a two-time Olympic and World Championship silver medalist, and one of the most authentic and honest people I’ve ever met. Her voice and perspective, along with Des’, make their podcast so special.
What excites me most about Nobody Asked Us is how it has the potential to take our sport of running beyond our little bubble. Both Kara and Des have such a wide-reaching platform, and their podcast is a great way to bring new people into the sport and spark more interest in running, which is ultimately so beneficial for all of us.
I’m cheering them on as they continue to grow and succeed in both their podcasting journey and beyond. I hope this intro did them justice, though most of you listening probably already know these two, so they don’t need much of an introduction! That said, I’ll include links to prior episodes with Kara and Des in these show notes if you want to dive into those past conversations.
Okay, enough from me—please enjoy this conversation with Kara and Des!

Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Molly Grabill, who just had a massive breakthrough with a personal best of 2:26:46 at the Valencia Marathon. It was a big day for her, and in this episode, she opens up about not just the time she ran, but the sense of satisfaction she felt crossing the finish line strong. Marathons are tough, and many of us can relate to the challenge of that final 10K. For Molly, it was the culmination of getting the right nutrition, strength training, and preparation all aligned for the perfect race.
If you’re not already familiar with Molly’s story, she’s been on the podcast before—Episode 356 back in 2022—after her second-place finish at the CIM Marathon with a time of 2:29:17. Over the years, Molly has built a reputation as one of the top marathoners in the U.S. She ran for the University of Oregon, where she became a five-time All-American, and has competed in the 2020 U.S. Marathon Trials in Atlanta (placing 25th) and again in the 2024 Trials in Orlando (where she placed 13th).
Molly currently lives in Boulder and trains under coach Rick Rojas, who is the father of fellow elite runner Nell Rojas. She’s also a full-time professional, balancing a busy career with her intense training. In this episode, we also talk about her love of reading and the ways she keeps her mind sharp off the track. It was great to catch up with Molly, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did recording it!
What we talked about:
3:30- Recapping Valencia Marathon
5:45- Goals going into the race
7:40- How the race played out for Molly
13:30- Looking at Molly’s marathon career as a whole
14:00- How she avoids the comparsion trap in running

I’m so glad you’re here today for another episode in our coaching series, brought to you by V.O2. Today’s guest is James McKirdy, the founder of McKirdy Trained, one of the largest coaching businesses in the United States. James has built an incredible coaching collective made up of compassionate and knowledgeable coaches, each with years of experience working with athletes of all types and abilities.
In this episode, we talk about a really exciting project James has been involved with—the McKirdy Micro Marathon. If you haven’t heard of it, this was a short-loop race held last October, designed to help fast runners run even faster. The event was a massive success and gained a lot of attention. One of James’s athletes, McKenna Myler, who placed seventh at the Olympic Trials, actually secured her trials qualifier there. Callie Thackery also ran a personal best of 2:21. It was an exciting and innovative event that really made waves in the running community.
James also works with incredible athletes like Tebello Ramakongana, who placed seventh at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Tebello’s marathon personal best is 2:07, and he has a half marathon PR of 1:00:17—truly impressive times. James shares a bit about working with athletes like Tebello and how they’ve shaped their journeys toward success.
One of the things we dive into is James’s work with athletes who come to Flagstaff to train and his professional program that they’ve developed there. The Flagstaff environment is known for its high-altitude training, and James’s program has helped many athletes reach their potential.
You can learn more about James’s coaching at mckirdytrained.com, and if you’re looking for coaching support, they offer a wealth of expertise to athletes of all levels.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with James McKirdy as much as I did! It’s always a pleasure to chat with someone who’s so passionate about coaching and supporting athletes at every stage of their journey. Enjoy the episode!

Roberta Groner has accomplished so much since her last appearance on the podcast, and I can’t wait to dive into her journey. Most recently, Roberta ran the Valencia Marathon, where she came within just 21 seconds of her personal best, running a 2:29. This was a huge day for Roberta, especially considering her PR is from 2019 in Rotterdam.
Back in 2017, 2018, and 2019, Roberta was getting a lot of attention for her performances, including running in the low 2:30s at CIM in 2017. She was training and racing a lot during that time, and even qualified for the 2020 Olympic Trials. Unfortunately, that race ended in a DNF, but that moment in her life became a turning point, which we talk about in detail during our conversation.
Fast forward to 2024, where Roberta competed in the Olympic Trials in Orlando. She placed 24th with a time of 2:33. While the time goals were no longer in the picture, Roberta shared how the race felt like a return to herself—the love of running and the joy of racing without the pressure. We also talk about how she ran a smart race in Valencia with a one-minute negative split. After executing that strategy, you can’t help but wonder what might happen if she takes a few more risks in future races!
Another highlight of Roberta’s career that we discuss is her amazing performance at the 2019 Marathon World Championships in Doha, where she placed sixth in brutal heat, becoming the top American finisher. She executed that race flawlessly, and it’s one of the moments that truly defines her career. We also touch on the coaching changes in her life and how she has made a significant career shift from nursing to focus full-time on coaching.
On top of all of this, Roberta is a mom to three boys, with one still in high school, and we dive into some of the wisdom she’s gathered along the way.
This conversation was so refreshing, and I felt like I got to know Roberta even better. I hope you do too. I think you’ll walk away from this episode with some great insights on how to enjoy life to the fullest, take risks, and be grateful. Enjoy the conversation with Roberta Groner!
What we talked about:
3:00- Catching up with Roberta post race
18:30- All of the changes in her life in the past 5 years and going full time in coaching
26:30- Being coached by Steve Magness and reflecting on her 6th place finish at the world championships in the marathon
38:00- Roberta’s fueling strategy
40:45- Roberta’s race at Paris
44:00- Roberta’s partner, Sam

On today’s coaching episode, I’m chatting with Will and Samantha Palmer, both coaches for the Florida Gators. Will serves as the Associate Head Coach for cross country and Assistant Coach for track and field, while Samantha is an Assistant Coach for cross country. Before coming to Florida, they were both at the University of Alabama, where they played a big role in leading the team to a third-place finish at the 2022 NCAA Cross Country Championships. Will’s coaching career also includes stints at Georgetown, Western Kentucky, and Iowa, and Samantha was previously an assistant coach at the University of Toledo.
Samantha is an accomplished runner herself, having qualified for the US Marathon Olympic Trials in both 2016 and 2020. She also qualified for the 10,000 meters at the 2020 Olympic Trials. I love the dynamic of having a husband and wife coaching duo—it’s not something you see very often—and we talk a little bit about that in this episode. They’re also expecting their second child, so we dive into how they balance family life with coaching.
In our conversation, we dig into the culture they work hard to build within their teams, what they prioritize to create a successful environment for their athletes, and how they foster a sense of value for every single person, especially when you’ve got star athletes like Parker Valby on your roster. There’s so much valuable insight about coaching philosophies, team dynamics, and balancing career and family in this episode. I really enjoyed getting to know Will and Samantha, and I know you will too!
What we talked about:
5:00- Catching up about the Florida Gators
6:25- Being a married coaching duo while raising a family
11:05- The decision to coach at Florida
25:00- Making sure every athlete feels valued on the team
32:00- Coaching Parker Valby
41:00- Favorite moments as a coach
43:30- Volume for each athlete

I’m so excited to have my friend, Steph Bruce, back on the show! She’s been a recurring guest and one of my favorites to chat with, and this conversation is no exception. Steph just had an incredible race at the California International Marathon (CIM), where she placed third with a time of 2:28:41. To put that in perspective, this is just 14 months postpartum after having her third baby. What a year it’s been for Steph—and honestly, what a journey these past few years have been, with all of us watching and cheering her on as she continues to defy the odds.
Looking back before CIM, this is a continuation of her remarkable comeback story. In February, at the Olympic Marathon Trials, Steph was only four months postpartum. Yet she still showed up and ran an impressive 2:47, proving that she wasn’t just recovering, but ready to return to racing at a high level. Fast forward to CIM, and she’s just one minute off her personal best of 2:27, which she ran in Chicago back in 2019. To say this was a great day for Steph would be an understatement—it was an incredible achievement and a testament to her hard work, resilience, and determination.
In this episode, we also dive into some major changes happening in Steph’s professional life. Recently, Hoka NAZ Elite made the decision to let go of several athletes, including Steph. We talk about her perspective on this news, how she’s feeling, and what’s next for her moving forward. It was a candid and insightful conversation, and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to catch up with her.
Honestly, I really enjoy these types of conversations, and it makes me wonder why I don’t do them more often. Talking to Steph is always a blast, and I hope you all enjoy listening as much as I did recording it!
What we talked about:
5:00- Recapping her race at CIM
26:05- The comeback postpartum and deciding to run the trials
37:20- The changes with her sponsorship with Hoka
48:10- How she is feeling heading into the new year

In this episode, I had the honor of talking with Lindi Marcusen, a first-time Paralympian who competed in the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Lindi placed sixth in the 100 meter T63 and eighth in the long jump T63, but one of her major career highlights came earlier this year when she broke the American record in the 100 meter T63 at the US Paralympic team trials.
Lindi grew up an athlete, competing in gymnastics and later bodybuilding in college, but her life took a dramatic turn in 2017 when she was in a horrific car accident that led to the loss of her right leg. This all happened shortly after her wedding as she was starting a new chapter! In this conversation, Lindi shares how she has overcome incredible adversity and built the strength to become the fastest above-knee amputee woman in the United States.
This episode is filled with resilience, strength, and determination. Whether you’re an athlete or not, Lindi’s story will leave you feeling inspired by her perseverance and her commitment to not only reclaiming her life but excelling at the highest level in her sport. Enjoy my conversation with Lindi!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of speed climbing with Olympian Piper Kelly. Piper is a 2024 Paris Olympian, a three-time Pan American champion, and she’s from Indianapolis—my hometown, which I obviously had to geek out about. Piper shares what it’s like to train for and compete in speed climbing, including the unique challenges of a sport where you race up the same route every single time. Yes, you heard that right. In speed climbing, the athletes tackle the exact same course over and over, and it’s all about speed—these races last only six or seven seconds. Wild, right?
We also talk about Piper’s journey to the Olympics, her first Olympic experience, and how she’s gotten to where she is today. I learned a ton, and I think you will too. Since the interview, I’ve even been inspired to take my kids rock climbing. We’ve gone a few times before, but this time I took all of them, and they had a blast. One of the best parts of this series is that it’s reminding me to push my kids to try new and different sports—not just running, but exploring all kinds of movement and adventure.
I also think you’ll appreciate hearing what it’s like to be a professional rock climber, especially in terms of sponsorships and the unique aspects of that lifestyle. And if you had a chance to catch any of the speed climbing events during the Olympics this summer, you’ll know how exciting it is to watch. It’s one of those sports that grabs your attention fast, and Piper does an amazing job explaining why.
So, whether you’re already a fan of climbing or just curious about the sport, I think you’ll love this conversation. Don’t forget to follow Piper’s journey as she gears up for Paris 2024!
What we talked about:
4:15- Her entry into the sport of speed climbing
6:10- The different disciplines of climbing
8:55- Why she chose the speed climbing discipline
12:05- Different styles of climbing
16:05- Running in high school
18:15- Making the Olympic team

I’m really excited to bring you today’s conversation with Emma Grace Hurley, who just had an incredible debut in the half marathon at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. Emma Grace finished her debut race in a time of 68:26, which is a 5:14 per mile pace (WOW!). She also set the course record for the half marathon at Indy Monumental. She’s part of the Heartland Track Club, which, as a former Indy resident, I’m totally obsessed with—especially knowing how great the running scene is in Indianapolis. I can’t help but geek out about Indy in this episode, so please bear with me. It makes me so happy to see such an awesome team in the city, led by Andrew Begley and Amy Yoder Begley.
Emma Grace has had a remarkable year. She’s practically run the entire USATF circuit across multiple distances and has had such great results at so many of them. Just a week before her half marathon debut, she placed third at the USATF 5K Championships in New York. She also placed third at the 10K championships and the 6K championships this year. On top of all that, she represented the United States for the first time at the World Cross Country Championships. Though we didn’t dive into that experience in this episode, I want to direct you to The Relay Podcast, where Mike Ko and I interviewed Emma Grace right after her World Cross race. That episode aired on April 5th, so be sure to check it out in the feed if you’re interested in hearing more about her international debut.
What we talked about:
5:15- The decision to race the half marathon
8:30- Recapping her race

In this exciting episode, we dive into the world of beach volleyball with Olympian and Team Canada athlete, Sophie Bukovec. Sophie represented Canada at the Paris Olympics this summer, and we get to hear all about her incredible journey to that stage. She’s been a very competitive athlete since the age of 14. Sophie has built a remarkable career in volleyball, playing for three different universities before ultimately finishing at the University of Southern California (USC).

My guest today is Katie Schide, one of the top ultra runners in the world. In 2024, she made history by winning both the Western States 100 and UTMB, securing a rare double and setting a new course record at UTMB by over 20 minutes. Her victory at Western States marked a major breakthrough after finishing second at the same race in 2023, and her second win at UTMB (she first won in 2022) further solidified her place among the elite in the sport. Her consistent high-level performances also include a sixth-place finish at UTMB in 2019.
We dive into Katie’s training and life as a professional ultra runner. She lives in a remote part of France with her partner, where she enjoys the solitude and beauty of the mountains. Much of her training involves running, skiing, and biking, with a unique emphasis on ski mountaineering (or “ski-mo”), a form which serves as a demanding cross-training tool that she implements into her training during the winter months. It’s fascinating to hear how a top athlete integrates skiing into her routine, maintaining peak fitness during the off-season.
Katie also holds a PhD in geology and shares how her academic background influences her approach to life and training. Beyond her impressive racing resume, which includes podium finishes at nearly every major ultra, she has set her sights on future challenges, including the iconic Hardrock 100.
Sponsored by The North Face, Katie is an athlete you won’t want to miss following. You can connect with her on Instagram at @katieschide for more updates on her career and adventures in the mountains.
What we talked about:
9:00- Living and training in a remote area
14:25- Including skiing in her training and what winter training looks like
24:30- The past two years of Western States performances
33:45- Winning UTMB and winning Western States in one year
39:50- Her coach and what she attributes her running successes to
52:05- The rise of women in the sport of trail and ultra running
53:00- Breaking the course record at UTMB

Welcome to another exciting episode in our series featuring athletes from various sports! Today, I’m thrilled to have Jennifer Lozano on the podcast. At just 21 years old, Jennifer made her Olympic debut for Team USA in boxing at the Paris Olympics, where she placed ninth.
Growing up in the border town of Laredo, Texas, Jennifer started her boxing journey at the age of nine. She qualified for the Olympic Games by winning a silver medal at the Pan American Games in Santiago in 2023. Notably, she is the first person from Laredo, Texas, to ever qualify for the Olympics, marking a significant milestone for her community.
In this episode, Jennifer shares her incredible journey in the sport—how she got to where she is today, what her training and lifestyle looked like leading up to the Olympics, and the immense effort and self-belief that fueled her success. She also opens up about the obstacles she faced along the way.
I came into this conversation knowing very little about boxing and the pathways to the top, and I really enjoyed learning more about it from Jennifer. Jennifer has a deep commitment to giving back to her hometown, Laredo, Texas, and she shares her dreams for bringing opportunities to her community.
To learn more about Jennifer and follow her journey, connect with her on Instagram @jenniferlozano1124. If you’re enjoying this series or know someone who would be interested in hearing about this episode and learning more about our Olympic athletes on Team USA, please share it!

In today’s episode, I’m excited to be joined by Kendall Chase, a US Olympian in rowing and current assistant coach for MIT’s rowing team. We dive into Kendall’s journey from growing up in Colorado to representing the United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics in rowing, becoming an elite cyclist, and later transitioning into coaching. Kendall shares the ups and downs of her career, including a traumatic brain injury she experienced while cycling at the professional level and how she overcame it.
We also talk about her coaching philosophy and what it’s like to work with athletes at MIT. As a fan of the book Boys in the Boat—which, if you’ve been listening for a while, you know I’ve referenced plenty—I couldn’t resist bringing in some of my rowing questions inspired by the book. If you’re at all interested in rowing or have ever wondered what goes into Olympic-level training, this conversation is full of insights. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Today on the show, I am joined by Jarryd Wallace, a four-time Paralympian and multiple-time medalist. Jarryd’s accomplishments are nothing short of incredible—he’s a two-time bronze medalist at the Paralympics, earning his medals in Tokyo in 2020 in the 200 meters, T64 category, and again in Paris in 2024 in the long jump, T64 division. He’s also a bronze medalist in long jump from the 2023 World Championships, and in 2017, he earned a bronze in the 100 meters, T44 division. That same year, he took home gold in the 200 meters, T44, and also ran in the 4×100 relay at the 2013 World Championships, competing in the T42-46 category.
In this conversation, he shares the story of how he became a Paralympian, the moments that led to his leg amputation at a young age, and the journey he went on through 11 surgeries.

I’m thrilled to welcome back the amazing Malindi Elmore to the podcast! This is her third time joining us, and she continues to inspire as a three-time Olympian representing Team Canada. Malindi made her Olympic debut in 2004 in the 1500 meters and has since transitioned into marathon running, competing in both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics.
Beyond her impressive athletic achievements, Malindi is also a dedicated coach and a mother of two. She has raised over $24,000 for Kids Sport, an initiative that provides grants to help cover registration fees so that all kids aged 18 and under can enjoy a season of their favorite sport in Canada. Her motivation to train hard for the Olympic marathon was fueled by this meaningful cause.
Some of Malindi’s remarkable career highlights include finishing ninth in the Olympic marathon in Tokyo, holding the Canadian marathon record, and being a seven-time Canadian champion. She’s also a past Stanford University record holder, a six-time All-American, and a bronze medalist in the World Cross Country Team Championships, Pan American Games, and World University Games. With a personal best marathon time of 2:24, Malindi has an impressive range of accomplishments.
In addition to her success in track and road racing, she also competed competitively in triathlon, debuting in Ironman with an impressive time of under nine hours. Malindi made history as the oldest finisher in the Olympic marathon at 44 years old, and she shows no signs of slowing down!
If you enjoy this episode, please share it with your friends! I’m always cheering for Malindi and the rest of Team Canada. And if you have a moment, a quick rating and review would be hugely helpful. Let’s dive into this inspiring conversation!

I’m super excited to kick off a new series on the podcast! We’ve already aired the first half of our coaching series this fall, but now we’re shifting gears to highlight athletes from sports outside the running community. We’ll return to some more coaching episodes later, but for now, we’re so excited about this series!!
Today, I have the honor of speaking with two-time Olympic gold medalist Kristen Faulkner. If you’ve been following cycling this year, you know her name. She made headlines by winning gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, marking Team USA’s first women’s road race medal in 40 years! Plus, she became the first US woman to win Olympic gold in two different disciplines at the same Olympics—what an achievement!
Kristen’s journey is fascinating. She grew up in Alaska, attended Harvard, and then worked as a venture capitalist in New York City. Her entry into cycling was in 2017 when she attended a free introductory cycling clinic for women.
In our conversation, we dive into her mindset, her path to making her first Olympic team, and what it felt like to earn those two gold medals. Kristen is also incredibly passionate about women’s equality in sports, and we touch on that important topic as well.
I learned so much from Kristen during our chat, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! If you enjoy the episode, please share it with your friends on social media. I think these discussions will resonate not just with runners but with anyone interested in the world of sports.
Enjoy my conversation with Kristen Faulkner!

Today on the podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome back Olympian Clayton Young. In today’s episode, we dive into Clayton’s incredible experience at the Paris Olympics, where he placed ninth with a time of 2:08.44. He shares the behind-the-scenes of his race, what was going through his mind, and the emotions that came with such a monumental event. I really appreciate how he gives a nod to those who paved the way in our sport, highlighting the community and history of running.
Clayton and I also discuss the current state of American marathoning and the potential for breaking the men’s record, which has stood since 2002! It’s an exciting time in the sport, and I have a feeling we’re on the brink of some big changes.
For a bit of background, Clayton runs for ASICS, is a proud father of two, and boasts an impressive resume as a four-time USA road champ and NCAA 10K champ, having run for BYU. He’s gearing up for the New York City Marathon this fall, so we’ll definitely be following his journey as he extends his Olympic season!
He first joined this podcast on Episode 519 back in February 2024, right after making the Olympic team alongside his training partner, Conner Mantz. If you’re curious about their journey and training together, definitely check out that episode!

In today’s episode, I’m excited to welcome back Kara Winger, a four time Olympian in the javelin. This summer, she competed in her fifth Olympic trials, and it was quite the journey for her. Despite placing in the top three at the trials, she didn’t qualify for the Paris Olympics because she hadn’t yet met the Olympic standard. Kara shares her thought process behind deciding to aim for the standard during the trials rather than trying to qualify beforehand. She also shares about her decision to come out of retirement this summer to try to qualify for her fifth Olympics.
I’ve always enjoyed interviewing field athletes in track and field, as they often don’t get the spotlight they deserve, and Kara is one of my favorites. She’s at an exciting crossroads in her career, and I can’t wait for you to hear about all that she is looking forward to ahead.
Also, a fun tidbit—Kara had the honor of being a flag bearer for Team USA during the closing ceremonies at the Tokyo Olympics, which is just amazing. Make sure to check her out on Instagram at @Karathrowsjav for more of her journey!
What we talked about:
3:30- How this retirement is feeling different than the last one
17:00- Her experience at the Olympic Trials
20:45- How to handle heartbreak in sport
23:10- Her decision to not chase the standard and have to throw it at the trials
33:35- Coaching
39:30- The growth of javelin as a sport

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Susanna Sullivan, who recently finished seventh in the Chicago Marathon with an impressive time of 2:21:56, marking a personal record of two minutes and 31 seconds. This achievement places her as the 10th fastest American woman in history at this distance. Susanna is also a dedicated sixth-grade math teacher and Brooks-sponsored athlete.
This past year has been quite a journey for Susanna. She represented Team USA for the first time at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, where she finished the marathon with a broken kneecap. This setback led to a long recovery period, preventing her from competing in the Olympic Trials earlier this year. On top of that, she also tested positive for COVID during her comeback. However, she did run at the Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters this summer.
Leading up to the Chicago Marathon, Susanna had some solid races, nearly setting a personal best in the half marathon. Susanna’s commitment to both her teaching career and marathon training is truly inspiring. Plus, she recently got married, adding even more excitement to her life. There’s so much to explore in this episode, and I can’t wait for you to hear from her!

Galen Rupp is one of the greatest American Distance Runners of all time. He won a Silver Medal in the 10,000 in the Rio 2016 Olympics and a Bronze Medal in the Marathon in the Tokoyo 2020 Olympics. He is also the 2017 champion of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. He’ll be on the motorcade this year on the broadcast which will be super fun. Though he’s jumping into that side of the sport, he is still all in for LA 2028.
Galen has been known for keeping the training and life close to the vest and shows up at races to tell the story. Needless to say I was really excited to find out I would have the honor to interview him at the Abbott Health & Fitness Expo during the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Weekend.
Galen is the father of four kids and over the past 20 years has proven time and time again that he is one of the very best. I loved exploring all of this with him on stage at the expo and hope that you will take some great advice and insight from Galen.
Thank you so much for being here!!

Deena is an all time favorite over here on I’ll Have Another Podcast and I was excited to have the opportunity for a quick interview with her live at the Abbott Health & Fitness Expo during this incredible weekend in Chicago!
Deena has held a multitude of American Records over the years but one that we never stop talking about is that American Record in the marathon that she held for 19 years! She is also an Olympic Bronze medalist in the marathon from Athens in 2004.
A few years ago she wrote the book “Let Your Mind Run” and that book really changed the way we all thought about how we can use our minds to be strong athletes.
I know you’re all gonna take something special from this conversation! Enjoy! Best of luck if you are running Chicago this weekend!!!

Welcome to another exciting episode of our coaching series, sponsored by V.O2. Today, we’re joined by the incredible duo, David and Megan Roche. Their passion for the running community is evident, as they coach countless athletes and share valuable insights through their research and the popular SWAP podcast, “Some Work, All Play.” Their contributions to the community are truly a gift, and it’s clear why so many people admire and appreciate them.
In this episode, we dive into David’s recent success at the Leadville 100, where he not only won but also set a new course record. His impressive credentials include being a two-time national champion and a three-time member of Team USA. He was also named the 2014 USATF Trail Runner of the Year at the sub-ultra distance. Megan, too, has an outstanding track record, having been the 2016 USATF Trail Runner of the Year in both ultra and sub-ultra distances. She’s a five-time national champion, a North American mountain running champion, and a six-time member of Team USA.
Beyond their athletic achievements, David holds degrees in environmental science, as well as a master’s and law degree with honors from Duke University.

Recently, she launched Huzzah, a platform dedicated to sharing female athlete performance science, which adds another layer to their incredible impact in the running world.
Excitingly, they are also expecting their second child! One of the highlights of our conversation revolves around fueling on the run, with a deep dive into carbohydrates and their importance. David and Megan also share their insights on cross-training and effective training strategies at a high level.

I’m really excited to share this conversation with Noah Malone, a Paralympic champion, on the I’ll Have Another podcast today.

In our conversation, he opens up about his journey—from competing in various sports as a child to adapting his approach to athletics as he lost his vision. Despite the challenges, Noah became the Indiana High School State Champion in the 200 meters in 2019, and he was also a key member of the 2019 Team USA Paralympic World Champion Relay Team.
His story is truly inspiring, and you can learn more about him at noahmalone1.com. Noah has also written a book titled Losing Vision, Not Dreams: Reflections on My Teenage Years.

In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our series on parents and their athlete kids by diving into the topic of nutrition for young athletes. Joining me is my friend, Grace Hamrick—a registered dietitian, ACE certified health coach, and certified LEAP therapist.
Grace brings her expertise to the conversation as we cover a ton of topics, including:
- How to talk to kids about nutrition and fueling their bodies
- Strategies for fueling performance and recovery, especially post-workout
- When to take nutrition seriously based on age and athletic level
- How to assess activity levels and adjust fueling accordingly
One of the highlights of our discussion is the concept of the “athlete plate,” which helps kids visualize what they should be putting on their plates for optimal nutrition.
We also dive into the course that Grace created, motivated by her own experiences as a parent. As her kids’ activity levels increased, she recognized the need for proper fueling. You can learn more about this valuable resource at her website, wellbeingwithgrace.com. Plus, if you decide to enroll in the course, use the code HAVEANOTHER for a 20% discount!

I’m super excited to chat with Priscilla Tallman, a mental performance coach and retired pro volleyball player. Priscilla has an incredible background, having trained over 500 athletes and teams. You might remember her from episode 473, where we dove into the conversation around mental performance for young athletes.

With her experience as a former pro athlete and a master’s in clinical psychology, she’s all about helping current and former athletes sharpen their mental skills and mindset for success in every aspect of life.
Her son, Joaquin, joined us on this episode. He is 16 years old and an avid mountain biker. He currently races enduro and is making the shift to downhill racing. It’s such a heartwarming conversation between mother and son, and I couldn’t help but think how proud I’d be if I were his mom.
We cover topics like raising independent kids, supporting young athletes, and the importance of mindset. I really hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

I’m so excited to share this episode with Dakotah Lindwurm! After recording some post-Olympics interviews, I knew I had to bring Dakotah back on the show. This will be her fourth time joining us, and it’s always a blast having her on. She last came on the show right after making the Olympic team at the trials back in February (episode 512), and she’s also been on with Sara Vaughn after the 2023 Chicago Marathon (that was episode 494 if you want to check it out). We also had her on a few years ago after her back-to-back wins at Grandma’s Marathon (episode 398). It’s been incredible watching her journey and seeing how much she’s grown these past few years!
In 2020, Dakotah finished 36th at the Olympic trials with a time of 2:39:08. Since then, she’s completely wowed us with her confidence, gritty training, and contagious positivity. If you’ve ever seen Dakotah race, you know she’s known for that big smile she flashes during her races, and it’s clearly a huge part of her success! Fast forward to the 2024 Olympic trials, where she placed third and then went on to the Paris Olympics, finishing 12th as the top American with an impressive time of 2:26:44 on a super tough course.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Dakotah recently announced she’ll be running the New York City Marathon, which will be so exciting to watch after her Olympic run. She’s sponsored by Puma and she got engaged at the finish line in Paris during the Olympics! I also couldn’t resist asking her a bit about her Minnesota roots, which she’s always so proud of.
I absolutely love Dakotah, and I know you all do too. I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation with the one and only Dakotah Lindwurm!
What we talked about:
3:30- Catching up with Dakotah post Olympic Trials and Olympics
16:10- Smiling during races
20:00- Recapping her race and feelings post race
28:00- The decision to run NYC Marathon
34:00- The physicality in the Olympic marathon
35:00- What she learned racing at the Olympics
38:00- The Olympic experience outside of the race
41:40- Believing in herself

I’m excited to release another episode of the parent-athlete series sponsored by Lily Trotters.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Monica Swanson and her son Luke Swanson. I had the pleasure of interviewing Monica on my parenting podcast last year. She’s a homeschooling mom of four boys living in Hawaii, and she’s raising some serious athletes! Three of her sons are already out of the house, but today we get to talk to her son, Luke, who is a professional surfer. Yes, a professional surfer! It was fascinating to hear both Monica’s perspective as a supportive mom and Luke’s insights into what it takes to train at such a high level from a young age.
We also delved into what life is like now for them as they navigate Luke’s professional surfing career. I even asked Luke some Olympic-related questions, since I caught some of the surfing events in the Olympics and was curious about the ins and outs of the sport. Monica and Luke had some really interesting insights that I think you’ll enjoy.
I love learning about sports outside of the running world, and I hope you find this episode as engaging as I did. Monica is one of my favorite people I’ve connected with through social media, and I always find her story inspiring, so it was so fun to catch up with her on this episode!
And don’t forget to give our sponsor some love. Lily Trotters has the best compression socks out there. Whether you’re looking for recovery socks or a comfortable option for travel, Lily Trotters has you covered. Their styles work for both men and women, and as a woman-owned business, I’m proud to support them. I’ve been working with Lily Trotters for years, and I’m thrilled to have them back on board for this series.

In this episode, I’m so excited to have Emily Mackay as my guest! Emily recently competed in the Paris Olympics, representing Team USA in the 1500 meters. It was such a thrill to watch her make the team—what a stacked field! Emily had to run an incredible 3:55 to secure her spot on the Olympic team alongside Nikki Hiltz and Elle Purrier-St.Pierre. It’s wild to think that just a few years ago, in the 2021 trials, Emily’s personal best in the 1500 was 4:17. Fast forward to 2024 she’s run so many PRs, including a 1:57 in the 800m.
In our conversation, we dive into Emily’s incredible progression and what it took to get here. She also opens up about her Olympic experience, how she felt not making the final, and her reflections post-Olympics. Emily runs for Team New Balance Boston, coached by Mark Coogan, and if you haven’t been following them, you’re missing out—they’re one of the most exciting teams right now. And yes, we do talk about that hilarious Instagram video with Laura Green that made us love the team even more!
This episode isn’t all about running, Emily shares what she’s reading, listening to, and her favorite spots in Boston. It’s a fun, well-rounded conversation that I think you’ll really enjoy.
What we talked about:
6:00- Training with Team NB Boston
10:00- Believing in herself to make big jumps in improvement
23:00- Breaking down her race at the Olympics Trials
33:00- The confidence she’s gained from recent PRs
35:00- Her Olympic experience
52:10- End of podcast questions

I’m thrilled to introduce a new series on the podcast – the Parent-Athlete Series! In this series, I interview both parents and their children, exploring their unique journeys together. We’re kicking things off with one of my favorite runners, Sara Vaughn, and her daughter, Kiki Vaughn.
You probably know Sara as the 1500-meter runner turned marathoner, with an impressive 2:23 marathon personal best. She’s also a Puma athlete, a mom of four, a realtor, and the founder of the Vaughn Child Care Fund. On top of that, she’s achieved two top-10 finishes at the Chicago Marathon.
Kiki, her eldest daughter, has recently started college at Northern Arizona University (NAU), where she’ll be running track and cross country. In this episode, we dive into their experiences – Kiki growing up with a dedicated and accomplished athlete as her mom, and Sara balancing her athletic career while raising a family.
This conversation was a lot of fun, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share their story. Best of luck to Kiki this fall at NAU, and to Sara as she prepares for the Chicago Marathon! If you enjoy the episode, please take a moment to leave a rating and review. Let Sara and Kiki know what you think, and I hope you enjoy listening!

Today my guest is Rory Linkletter. He just ran in the Paris Olympics in the marathon. This was his first Olympic team for Team Canada, which is very exciting. He qualified for the Olympics running a 2:08:01, just nine seconds faster than the Olympic standard at the Sevilla Marathon. This race made him the second fastest Canadian of all time over the marathon distance. So amazing to see Rory’s career take off over the past few years!!
Rory has been working with Ryan Hall as his coach leading up to the Olympic Games. Before that, he was with NAZ Elite under Ben Rosario, and he also was coached by Ed Eyestone in college when he ran for BYU. In this episode, we hear about those three different coaching styles and what those coaches meant to him. He is transitioning from being coached by Ryan Hall to looking for a new coach and he shares about what he is looking for in a coach in this episode.
Since Rory was last on the podcast, he’s had two kids added to his family. He talks about that transition and what that’s been like training at a high level and being a dad.
He recently announced he’ll be running the New York City Marathon, which is really exciting. So we talk about that and the decision that he made to do that. So excited to cheer him on at that race and see what he does!

Today, my guest is Sabrina Little. Sabrina is a five time national champion. She’s a mom, she’s a professor of philosophy, she’s a trail and ultra runner, a world silver medalist and the author of the book, The Examined Runner.
This is Sabrina’s second time on the podcast! If you want to hear a little bit more about her backstory, she was episode 346 of this podcast in November of 2021, where we talked about philosophy, running and motherhood. Today we catch up on what’s going on in her life. She’s now the mom of two. When we first talked, I think she was fresh off her first baby. Since then she’s written the book The Examined Runner, Why Good People Make Better Runners, is a deep dive into the conversation of how striving to be a better person make you a better runner. It’s a really great book and I loved reading it. She looks at key ideas and virtue ethics. It is one of those books where you underline, you take notes, you read it little by little and really try to understand it. And in this conversation, I loved getting inside Sabrina’s brain a little bit more.
What we talked about:
2:50- Catching up with Sabrina
6:30- Where running is fitting into her life right now

Abby Nichols was in town in Raleigh for the Sir Walter Mile so we had the opportunity to do an in person interview! She was the reigning champion of the Sir Walter Mile and she agreed to just come on over and sit in my living room and record, which was so fun.
Abby runs with Hoka NAZ Elite and she is a 1500 meter and 5000 meter runner. She has a personal best in the 1500m of 4:07. Her mile PR, which was run at the Sir Walter Mile is 4:26 and she has a 15:03 PR in the 5000m and 32:27 PR in the 10,000m.
Abby grew up in Ohio, ran for Ohio State, and then went on to run for the University of Colorado. Unexpectedly, we took a turn and talked about her time at University of Colorado, and she weighed in on her thoughts on Mark Wetmore and Heather Burroughs and how they won’t be coming back to coach the team this coming year.
Abby competed at the Olympic trials in the 5,000m and had a bit of a disappointment there. She talks about that and what that’s been like to bounce back from that and continue to race well this summer.
I loved chatting with Abby and am so excited to see what she does during the rest of her career!

Heather MacLean is a returning guest on the show and she was in Raleigh, North Carolina (where I live) for the Sir Walter Mile this week. So we got to record this interview in person, which is always exciting!!
Heather runs with Team New Balance Boston. She ran in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 in the 1500. This year at the Olympic trials, she placed seventh in a record-breaking year. It took crazy records to make that 1500-meter team for Team USA. And although Heather placed seventh, she still ran a personal best time of 3:58. This result comes after a year full of injuries last year. She is coming off a stress fracture where she had to take six months off of training leading into the Olympic year. So it’s safe to say she is coming back and coming back strong. I am SO excited to see what she accomplishes over the next few years!
Heather has been on the podcast before, she was episode 337 when she came on right after she made her first Olympic team in 2021. So wow, it’s already been three years since she’s been on the podcast!!
Enjoy this conversation and go give Heather some love at the Sir Walter mile tonight!!
What we talked about:
4:00- How Heather is feeling leading into the Sir Walter Mile
8:00- Her feelings coming off of the Olympic Trials
13:30- The injury struggles that she’s had

She was the 2016 American National and Collegiate record holder and NCAA Division One champion. She threw for Texas A&M University. She has a really amazing post-trial interview that just drew me in to her passion for this sport. We dove into that in this episode and it was such an interesting part of the conversation. She share about her battles where she nearly quit the sport and really had to check-in with herself about finding her why!
Maggie talks a lot about her faith, which seems to be a trending topic in these post-Olympic trials interviews with these athletes I’ve been talking to. It was also so much fun learning more about the javelin and her training. Let’s give these field event athletes some love!!
I love Maggie’s spirit and energy and I cannot wait to cheer for her in Paris. Go be bold, Maggie. We are all excited for you.

Kendall Ellis won the 400m at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Track and Field becoming a National Champion and securing her spot to run the open 400 at the Paris Olympics. She PR’d in both the semi final and the final at the trials running a time of 49.46 in the final. This was her first PR in 6 years…. and you’ll hear in this episode she wasn’t so hung up on that at all over these years because there were so many wins along the way.
Kendall is an Olympic Gold Medalist in the 4X400 relay and an Olympic Bronze Medalist in the 4X400 mixed relay. She also competed in open 400m at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships where she won Gold in the 4X400 relay both times. Kendall is sponsored by New Balance and she ran for The University of Southern California where she was a 3X NCAA champion.
In this episode we talk about the race itself and those post race feelings as well as how she stays mentally focused and has learned to believe in the work she has been putting in over the last decade of competing. She also shares with us what her prayer was going into these races.
Please enjoy my conversation with Olympian Kendall Ellis!

Is there anything better than watching someone become an Olympian?!
Marisa Howard ran the race of her life at the Olympic Trials Steeplechase final last week. She ran 9:07 which was a 15 second PR for the Steeple veteran and first time mom. She placed third running a strong race from start to finish and if you haven’t seen the video yet of her family freaking out at the finish make sure you google that!
Marisa lives and trains in Boise, ID and ran for Boise State. She ran the trials supported by Tracksmith which was not a traditional sponsorship but a great support for the Olympic Trials for so many athletes like Marisa.
In this episode Marisa and I talk about how she felt becoming an Olympian, her training, family and her faith. I love her authenticity and was grateful for this conversation!

Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Briana Boehmer. I had the incredible opportunity to interview Bri in Boston, she was part of a live panel that I hosted. She ran her first marathon at the age of 42 in a time of 2:33. That was her first standalone marathon. She has done several Ironmans. She has a 9:22 Ironman PR and a 4:21 Half Ironman PR. She has completed the Kona Ironman multiple times. She ran for CU in college and after pursuing professional running and realizing maybe that wasn’t gonna happen for her, she took a break from that and then ended up getting into Ironman. But in 2021 at the age of 42, she thought, I’m going to see what I can do in the marathon. She ran CIM, and set the master’s course record running that 2:33. She now runs for Oiselle.
Outside of running, she is passionate about mentoring and coaching. She is in the startup world, and she also teaches entrepreneurship courses. She serves as the CEO of a forward-thinking local company and teaches entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Boulder. She also serves on the board of directors for Startup Colorado. And she’s the founder of Goodie Bag Eats. It is the coolest way to make sure food at restaurants gets eaten and not wasted.

I am excited to bring you an episode today with Camille Herron. Camille is one of the greatest ultrarunners of all time. She’s a scientist, a coach, and an ambassador for the sport. She’s a four-time IAU International Runner of the Year and six-time USATF Ultrarunner of the Year. She is the only athlete who has won all of the IAU ultra road world championships: the 50K, 100K and the 24 hour race. She’s the first ultra runner to win both the prestigious Comrades Marathon and Spartathlon. And if that isn’t enough accolades, she has also set so many world and American records in ultra races! And she has set so many ultra world and American records. So many between 50 miles to six day records. Recently, she set a world record running in the Lululemon Further event. She completed 560 miles in six days – WOW! Before her ultrarunning career, she was a marathoner. She’s a three-time Olympic marathon trials qualifier.
Beyond all of her running accolades, she does so much for the sport. She has served on the USATF Women’s Long Distance Running Committee as a secretary since 2012 and was voted the 2021 Contributor of the Year. She’s a member of the Pro Trail Runners Association, serving as the women’s equality and anti-doping working groups.
In this episode, we talk about Camille’s experience running into her 40s, her experience with perimenopause, and how she’s able to run so far for so long. What’s going on in her brain? She’s still figuring it out, but she talks about it in this episode.

This is a super exciting episode because I have wanted to have Michael Johnson on the podcast since I launched I’ll Have Another! Michael Johnson is a legend in the entire sports world. He is a sprinter who won four Olympic gold medals and eight world championship gold medals in the span of his career. He held the world record and Olympic records in the 200m and 400m. He won gold in the 200 and 400 in the same year, which was a really big deal in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He won the gold medal again in the 400m at the 2000 Olympics.
He was elected to the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame in 2004. He’s worked as a television commentator, often for the BBC in the United Kingdom. He’s also a business performance speaker and coach.
He has a new venture with a new track league that he is super excited about. He has a big mission to get more eyes on track and field and help these athletes make a great career out of the sport we love so much. There’s going to be some big announcements coming up about his track league that will be launching next year. He’ll touch on it a little bit in this episode, but look for news on that coming very soon.
This is a dream interview. I am so excited to bring you this conversation. Truly, I’m just so grateful for people who have been listening to this podcast, who are new, who have been listening for eight years since I launched in 2016. These are the kind of interviews that I’ve always dreamed of being able to produce. And I don’t take it lightly when I get to talk to legends in our sport like Michael Johnson. So enjoy this episode!!

This episode is my conversation with the one and only Des Linden. We recorded this live at the Bayshore Marathon Weekend in Traverse City, Michigan at the historic City Opera House. This was such a fun event and I was so grateful to sit down with Des for this live show!
Des does not really need an introduction here, I don’t think, but in case you don’t know Des, she is a two -time Olympian and she’s the 2018 Boston Marathon champion. She’s the author of the book, Choosing to Run. She’s run for Brooks for forever, pretty much. If I’ve got my stats right, I think she’s run 28 marathons. She’s run 11 Boston marathons. Des is truly an American distance running legend and definitely a fan favorite.
Des also hosts a podcast with Kara Goucher called Nobody Asked Us. It’s such a fun show so if you aren’t already listening – go check that out!!

She does such a good job bringing lighthearted fun to the running world and it’s been fun to see her grow.
Laura’s the mom of two and is expecting another baby this summer. So I wanted to grab this interview before baby came, which was exciting.
And I just love that she uses her platform not only to make us laugh, but she’s made a career out of it, which is amazing. Major props to her for doing that!!

Today, I am thrilled to present an episode that was recorded live in Chicago, in collaboration with Fleet Feet Chicago and Altra. In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing one of my favorites, Alysia Montaño. Alysia, as you may have recently heard, has been rightfully upgraded to a Bronze Medalist from the 2012 London Olympics in the 800 meters. This achievement comes after two years of world championships where she also received upgraded bronze medals. It’s a moment of celebration for her, yet also a time to reflect on the challenges she faced during those years. We delve into this aspect of her journey towards the end of our conversation.
Alysia is a mother of three and a six-time USA Outdoor Track champion in the 800 meters. Moreover, she has emerged as a powerful advocate for women and mothers in sports. Alysia is the founder of ‘&mother,’ an organization dedicated to dismantling barriers that hinder women’s ability to pursue and excel in both their careers and motherhood.
This conversation was such a joy to host live with Alysia! Given the timing, our discussion naturally gravitates towards the topic of motherhood. To all those observing Mother’s Day this weekend, I’m giving you all a hug and celebrating you! I hope this conversation brings you joy and inspiration as you celebrate.
What we talked about:
4:00- Taylor Swift talk!
6:55- Introduction to Alysia
8:00- Catching up with Alysia
10:30- Starting &Mother and transitioning out of professional running
14:45- Changes being made in the sport for mothers
22:00- Finding joy in the sport
28:00- Talking to your kids about failure
30:50- Perspectives on motherhood
42:00- Encouraging our kids to watch and support women’s sports
48:30- Her daughter getting into running
52:50- Her recent upgrade to an Olympic gold medal

Today on the podcast, my guest is Jenny Simpson, who just ran the Boston Marathon. She ran 2:31 and was the fourth American and 18th place over all. And this was just 10 weeks after a disappointing Olympic marathon trials where she made the decision to step out of the race at mile 18. We cover that at the end of the podcast. Jenny is a world-class 1500 meter runner. She ran at CU, was sponsored by New Balance for 12 years. She’s now sponsored by Puma. Some of her accomplishments include a gold medal at the world championships, multiple silver medals, a win at a diamond league, a 2016 bronze medal in the 1500 at the Olympics in Rio. And in this episode, we talk about what it was like to decide to run a marathon and to become a marathoner after grinding at the 1500 for so many years and being so good at that distance. Jenny has a lot of wisdom and advice to give us in this episode about what it looks like to try something new and different and also what it looks like to walk through a so-called failure and to get back up and try again. I always feel like I learn so much from Jenny and she’s just got this very honest, authentic and genuine way that she has conversations and it’s such an honor to have her back on the show. Enjoy this episode!
I’m exited to share my conversation from one of the live events I hosted at the Boston Marathon! This event as supported by Oiselle and proceeds from book sales at the event benefitted Girls on the Run Boston!
In this conversation we learn about Elvin Kibets life and the book that Johanna Garton wrote called “All in Stride” that highlights her and her husband Shadrack Kipchirchir’s life. Elvin shares about her life as an athlete, a service member in the Army and a mother. The program she is a part of is the Army World Class Athlete Program which many athletes in the US are a part of including the likes of Lenny Korir and Paul Chelimo.
We also talk with Oiselle athletes Brenna Detra and Bri Boehmer in this conversation.
Brenna is an 800 meter specialist with a PR of 1:59 and she is working to make the Olympic team this summer. She shares about being raised by a single Mom and now chasing her big running dreams. She also works remotely for Oracle. Bree was 4th at 2023 Indoor 800m, she’s a 2x NCAA qualifier in the 400 hurdles, an NCAA qualifier in the 4×100 and a semifinalist at the 2019 USAs Outdoor 800m.
Bri ran her first marathon at 42 in 2:33 and is an entrepreneur. She is the CEO of a forward-thinking local company, teach entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado-Boulder, and serves on the board of directors for Startup Colorado. She ran for CU and qualifyed for the national championships in the 3K & 5K. She also has a half Ironman PR of 4:21 and ironman PR of 9:22!
“Whatever your goals are it’s not too late. If there’s something you’ve wanted to do, do it. We set really weird rules and I don’t know why but don’t regret not trying.” – Bri
“Never be afraid to go after what you want.” – Brenna
“You’re more resilient than you think” – Elvin
This conversation was SO much fun. I co-hosted a live panel with Kara Goucher and Oiselle at the Boston Marathon on Saturday. This is Fast Girls Live. Oiselle is excited to empower the rising generation of women in sport and this was such a cool opportunity for these young girls to share their stories and for Kara to join in the conversation as well. This event benefited Girls on the Run Greater Boston. Girls on the Run is a nonprofit that helps design evidence-based, fun programs to inspire girl empowerment by building confidence, kindness, and decision-making skills.
I had the opportunity to become friends with Kara when she was a part of our Relay podcast and I just so appreciate everything that she does for the sport. She is an honest and relatable voice and she will stand up for what she believes in while encouraging the next generation.
In this conversation, Kara and I talked to five high school girls that are doing incredible things in this sport! They all live in the Boston area.
This conversation left me feeling like our sport is in good hands! Thank you to Oiselle, Girls on the Run, and Kara for this conversation!!!

Cj Albertson had a great performance at the Boston Marathon this year running a personal best time of 2:09:53 and placing 7th. This was his highest place in Boston yet and his fourth time running the race. He was also the top American finisher just two months after finishing 5th at the US Olympic Marathon Trials.
CJ is known for his untraditional ways of training and shares all about how he prepares for marathons in this conversation. He is also the Dad of two young kids, teaches and is a coach at Clovis Community College. CJ runs for Brooks running professionally and shares about how you can work really hard at something but still not hold it so tightly. I love his perspective on training and racing!
I met Jackie Hoffman at the Chicago Marathon a few years back! I was so excited to learn about what he is doing with Peace Runners in Chicago. He is the president and founder of Peace Runners. Through his own transformation, his vision and inspiration for Peace Runners 773 were fostered. He grew up in Garfield Park and has brought a running program back to the neighborhood that he grew up in. His own childhood inspired him to be a proponent for change. He really focuses on the life expectancy gap, specifically in his neighborhood in Chicago. It is much lower than the average life expectancy in the US.
Jackie played football in college and then professionally. Now he is a runner through and through! He just ran the NYC half marathon right before we recorded!
Peace Runners is a nonprofit organizations that advocates for health equity. Their programming empowers, educates, and brings awareness to holistic health and wellness through physical, mental, and social wellbeing while creating safe spaces for movement in our underserved communities.
This was such a joy and honor to talk to Jackie!

Rachel Drake is joining me on the podcast today! Rachel is a Nike Trail runner! She recently won the Black Canyon 100k which landed her a Golden Ticket to Western States! Western States will be her first 100 mile race!
Rachel is the mom of one and is married to Tyler Green, who was on the podcast back after her palced 2nd at Western STates a few years ago. Rachel is also a medical doctor about to start her residency this summer so we hear all about how she balances parenting, running and school. Wow – I am impressed!!
Rachel qualified for the Olympic Marathon trials at CIM in December when she race a 2:35 marathon. She opted not to run the trials, which was the plan all along as it was her training for the Black Canyon race. She did run in the 2020 Olympic Trials after running the standard in 2:40:17. Rachel has had success in the past training for a marathon in her buildup to her ultra.

Today on the podcast Tommie Runz joins me!! I’ve had so much fun getting to know Tommie more as one of the co-hosts of the Relay Podcast.
Tommie is about to complete 4 marathons in two months – Osaka, Tokyo, Boston and London which will set him up to have finished all 6 of the World Marathon Majors. This specific time is special to Tommie as he will surpass the age his own Father was when he passed away at 39 years old due to a stroke. Tommie was only 8 years old when he lost his Dad and this moment in time has been something he’s thought about almost his entire life. In this podcast we go deep into what it means to him and what life has been life for him without getting to have a relationship with his Dad.
We go deep into sobriety, cleaning his life up and how having a daughter saved his life.
Over the years Tommie has established and solidified a community of individuals who share the same passion in running, mindfulness, and self-improvement. He created and founded Chip Time Running to disrupt the current status quo in the running industry; began a podcast “The Run Eat Sleep Show”; and launched the PR Project on YouTube where he sits as co-host. In April 2021, he qualified for the Boston Marathon with a chip time of 2:48:43. As a runner, Tommie continues to chase his goals and aspires to actively improve his times in the 5k through marathon. In doing so, he hopes to increase Black visibility in a predominantly White running space. He now olds a PR of 2:46 and has big dreams to take that down in the future- maybe this fall??

So excited for ANOTHER Olympic Marathon Trials recap episode with one of my favorites, Sara Hall! Sara is an incredible athlete and human being. She was actually one of the very first guests that I ever had on the podcast. She was all the back on episode 7, 8 years ago!!
Sara just placed fifth at the Olympic Marathon Trials a few weeks ago. This was her 8th Olympic Trials. Isn’t that wild?! 20 years ago she ran in her first Olympic Trials in 2004 in the 5000m. Here’s her Olympic Trials progression: in 2004 she ran the 5000m, in 2008 she ran the 1500m, in 2012 she ran the steeplechase, in 2016 she ran both the marathon trials and the 5000m, in 2020 she ran both the 10,000m and the marathon trials, and then this year she ran the marathon trials.
Sara is one of the hardest working humans on the planet! We all knew that Sara was going to go for it and put every ounce of effort into making that team. That’s why that 5th place finish is so heartbreaking for her and she says that this one hurts the worst in all of the trials that she has competed in. But I love that Sara is always willing to wear her heart on her sleeve and share the ups and the downs. She has had SO much success in her career with national championships, a second place finish at the London Marathon, and third place at the Chicago Marathon. She has also had a lot of heartbreak in the sport but she keeps getting back up and trying and getting after it!
She ran a 2:26:06 at this past race which is a new masters American Record! I love her answer when I ask her about running this record!
Sara is sponsored by Asics, married to Ryan Hall, and the mom of four!
What we talked about:
3:40- How Sara is doing
5:10- What this race meant to her
7:10- Withdrawing from the Houston half
9:05- Recapping the Olympic Marathon Trials race
14:50- Her mindset crossing the finish line
21:15- What she wanted her kids to take away from her dedication to the sport
24:30- Getting the most out of her running career
26:20- Enjoying the craft of running
27:50- Her training heading into this race
29:00- Breaking the Masters American Record and what being a masters runner means to her
32:00- Her relationship with her husband, Ryan, as her coach
37:25- Advocating to move the start time of the race with the heat
39:45- Being a mentor in the sport
43:45- Managing her emotions after this race
46:10- What’s next for Sara
47:15- Her best race to date

Vicki Hunter is a runner and author. She has a book out called Running and Returning: Seeking Balance in an Imperfect World. She was a competitive runner in her late 20s when she qualified for the Olympic Trials in the marathon in 1988. She went from a 3:50 to a 2:49 marathon in just 16 months. She was also in a horrific car accident while she was pregnant with her first child. She was in the hospital for 6 weeks and was in rehab her entire pregnancy. We talk a lot about that experience and how it changed her life. She ended up having a healthy baby girl on her due date.
This conversation is a story about Vicki’s relationship with running and how it has changed over the years but how it has always been something that is really important to her. She also recently ran a 3:28 marathon at the age of 62 so we talk about aging in this conversation as well!

Sara Vaughn is back on the show for the fifth time!
Sara is a 1500m runner turned marathoner. She is the mom of four and a full time realtor. She ran her third marathon this past fall at the Chicago Marathon where she placed 7th in a time of 2:26:23. She recently announced that she will be running the Boston Marathon this Spring.
Sara just launched the Vaughn Childcare Fund to provide support for parenting undergraduate student-athletes. One of the big parts of Sara’s story is that she had her first baby while she was a junior in college as a student-athlete and she did not have a lot of resources herself so she has made it her mission to help provide people in similar situations with resources.
As the NCAA slowly adapts to include parents in their mission of education, inclusiveness, and well-being, they are still a highly underserved population. So Sara’s new project is going to help to fill that gap with financial support for childcare, mentorship, policy writing, and policy adoption.
What we talked about:
4:20- Catching up with Sara
8:45- Running an indoor track race with her daughter
11:15- Her experience being pregnant as a student athlete
16:50- What her support system looked like
