#HURDLEMOMENT: Robin Arzon On How to Navigate Race Day Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

This week's #hurdlemoment is a must-hear, regardless of if you're running a race this fall or not. Whether it’s your first or your hundredth, marathon race day gives runners the same nervous butterflies every single time. For today’s episode, I'm bringing back a conversation I had in 2019 with Robin Arzon, 26-time marathoner, Vice President of Fitness Programming and instructor at Peloton, and author of the New York Times bestseller Shut Up and Run. We rap about everything you need to do to prepare before and ON race day, from the best things you can do the day before you toe the starting line to exactly how much fuel you should be taking in along the 26.2 miles. This RRCA-certified running coach and marathon veteran has the tips you need to successfully conquer 26.2 miles, then bring that same swagger along with you in everyday life.

226. Rad Lopez, Peloton Instructor Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

From a young age, Rad Lopez was taught that with hard work and dedication — anything is possible. For episode 226, he's talking through what that’s looked like in practice — from his early years growing up in the Bronx through these days sweating regularly on-camera as a @onepeloton favorite. Rad gets vulnerable, opening up about losing both his father and his stepfather, and what it felt like coming of age with a single mom that was constantly working to put food on the table.

He also chats about working maitenance at a gym — where he was first inspired to get his personal training certification — and shares how he first got into one of his favorite activities, boxing. Plus: Feedback from his first job teaching group fitness, how he feels about teaching classes in Spanish, the special moment from his Cuba trip earlier this year, and what he really sees when he looks in the mirror.

#HURDLEMOMENT: Fear of Success: How It Works & What To Do About It Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

Maybe you've talked about fearing failure before, but have you ever thought about a fear of success? Today I'm sitting down with Tammie Bennett, a creative entrepreneur and mindset coach, to chat about what happens when you get everything you want — and why you may be self sabotaging. The fear of success, Bennett says, is the concern that once we achieve something new, we may suffer because of it or we'll be incapable of sustaining it. Most of the time, we're not consciously aware of this fear. That's because when we focus on a goal, we talk up the positive outcomes of achieving the goal. Tammie talks us through how to overcome the fear, plus - the flip side: How to navigate failure and why failure is actually an essential (and unavoidable) part of accomplishing your big goals.

225. Alison Mariella Désir, Author of 'Running While Black' Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Alison calls herself a disruptor, and that descriptor would be putting it lightly. The author of Running While Black isn't holding back in her new expose, and she's on the show today to share some of her experiences. For episode 225, Alison opens up about being in a dark place before picking up running, using drugs and trying to numb the pain of her depression, and how sport reminded her of what it was like to feel again. Alison also talks about starting a running movement in harlem, Harlem Run, with the goal to make running more inclusive and welcoming to people of color. She shares what it felt like to be at the forefront of media attention for her efforts, despite knowing that so many people that looked like her felt othered in the space, and we also talk about how it feels for her to be a Black woman raising a Black son in the wake up Ahmaud Arbury’s murder. She also speaks on the establishment of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition, and where she hopes this conversation will go moving forward.
