Common Ground - Episode 8 Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

In our eighth installment of Common Ground, a monthly cross-cast I'm co-hosting with Mario Fraioli of the Morning Shakeout Podcast, we talk all things music! This episode is one we've been talking about doing for a long time, and it's one that many listeners have been asking for. We've put together a Common Ground playlist (10 songs from me, 10 songs from Mario), which can be accessed via Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. There is no running talk this week but we go through each of the songs we chose, why we chose them, and tell lots of fun stories. Hope you enjoy!

Common Ground will be released monthly in both the morning shakeout and Grounded Podcast feeds so there's no need to subscribe to a separate show. Please let us know what you think by sending us a message via social media—@theAMshakeout or @groundedpod on both Instagram and Twitter—or leave a rating/review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Kyle Whalum is an ultramarathoner and professional musician. He currently plays bass in the house band for the Kelly Clarkson Show and for Katy Perry, but in his free time he logs many miles on California trails. Over the past decade, Kyle has completed 16 ultramarathons and five 100-milers. He is also an ambassador for Path Projects, Ultimate Direction, and Superfeet. In Kyle's most recent 100-miler, the Coldwater Rumble (in Arizona), he finished in under 24 hours which shattered his previous PR by over 3 hours. In this conversation, we candidly discuss mental health, spirituality, and the importance of movement in our daily lives. Kyle tells us about trail running while working as a touring musician and we take a moment to bond over some of our favorite music!

Episode 44 - Aliandrea Upshaw (Diné), University of New Mexico Student-Athlete (Track & Cross Country) Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

Aliandrea "Ali" Upshaw (Diné) is a member of the University of New Mexico Track & Cross Country team. She is from Fort Defiance, Arizona and is born for the Charcoal-Streaked Red Running into Water clan. Although Ali is academically classified as a sophomore, she competes athletically as a freshman due to NCAA COVID-19 sports reclassifications. Her freshman season at UNM was cut short due to the pandemic but in her first full cross country season at UNM this past fall, she placed fifth at the Mountain West Conference Championships which earned her First Team All-Mountain West honors. The Lobos finished first in their conference for the 14th consecutive year and placed third at the NCAA Division I National Championships. Prior to signing with UNM, Ali was a high school standout at St. Michael Indian School on the Navajo Reservation– she was her class valedictorian and two-time individual state champion leading her team to a state title. She was named a high school "Runner of the Year" on three occasions by the Navajo Times and like many other Grounded Pod guests, she is an alumna of the Wings of America national team. Ali is currently majoring in Biology and minoring in Native American Studies, with the goal of attending medical school or pursuing veterinary medicine.
