Ep 70: Expectations, Staying present, and Waiting Aug 15, 2017

Show notes

From waiting for the "right" time to get started, to struggling with doubt when you're slowly putting one foot in front of the other, there's nothing easy about being patient. But there's a difference between persistence and holding back. In this episode of the podcast, I want to talk about getting the most out of the moment we're in, right now.

Ep 69: Take The Shame Out Of Quitting Aug 11, 2017

Show notes

Quitting is always an option, but so is going forward. Before running, I would quit anything I struggled with. And despite the fact that running is still, to this day, really, really f*cking hard, it reminds me that I can't shy away from the things that I have to work for. It helps me remember that I'm not a quitter.

Across my social channels, from Facebook, Instagram, to Strava, I've asked people who, like me, come with a history of giving up, what changed for them. And their answers are really eye opening because this isn't one size fits all. It's another reason why all of our stories are so important.

I asked - "Serious question. This one is for anyone who has struggled to get and stay active in the past. What changed? Did you ever quit? If so, what made you want to try again? And most importantly, what made you want to stick with it? We often talk about the advice we'd give to someone struggling but I want to hear your struggle. What did you go through and what kept you fighting?"

Your answers were honest, vulnerable, unique, but shared the same commonality, running and being active changed the way you saw and felt about yourself and what you were capable of.

Ep 68: Why Do We Hate Working Out? Aug 08, 2017

Show notes

Do you hate working out? Well, you're not alone. As former President of the "I f*cking hate running club", I get it. But something has to change. Last week, after reading this article. "Losing It in the Anti-Dieting Age: The agonies of being overweight — or running a diet company — in a culture that likes to pretend it only cares about health, not size.", my brain was in overdrive. Here are my two cents: Until we can help people find ways to get active that have nothing to do with weight loss, then people will continue to dread working out.

Ep 67: To The Men Who Call Me Fat Aug 05, 2017

Show notes

Dear man who found it appropriate to send me this email, Once upon a time, your words would have cut me like valyrian steel. Today? They remind me how important it is to change the way we see strength. Because what you call fat, I know can run a marathon in 3 hours in 41 minutes. I hope one day you can obtain the strength I've worked tirelessly for. Until then, know that I will spend the rest of my life empowering the women you hope to shame. You will lose. You already are. The #SportsBraSquad is strong as hell. See you at the finish line. I'll be the one giving you a high five when you get there. #RunSelfieRepeat

After sharing one of the many inappropriate emails I receive about the #SportsBraSquad and my weight, the story made headlines. And as I was answering an editor's questions about how the email made me feel, I realized that I've normalized the act. We need to talk about fat shaming online and how it's never appropriate to comment on someone's weight. And then, what you need to do to build your body confidence.

Ep 66: Overcoming Burnout Aug 02, 2017

Show notes

You're stressed, running on fumes, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and feeling stale and stuck. Sound familiar? It's what happens when you work at an unsustainable pace and finally come up for air. And that's the state I've been fighting through over the past three months. So, what changed? How did I overcome burnout? A lot of patience and I finally stopped fighting it and I gave myself permission to be where I was. So, let's talk about that destructive boogeyman that haunts my dreams, burnout.

Ep 64: Grit and Living Your Life Purposefully Jul 26, 2017

Show notes

Grit, a personality trait wherein a badass demonstrates passion and perseverance toward a goal (or just life in general because life is hard) despite being confronted by significant obstacles and distractions.

This week, I was being interviewed for an upcoming campaign and I sat in a room with a production team, talking about how running changed the way I see myself and what I'm capable of, I kept coming back to grit. Because it wasn't until I started running that I learned why I couldn't run from my problems, I had to lean into the discomfort. But running taught me that even when something feels impossible or insurmountable, if you can find the patience to keep fighting, you'll learn what it means to live your life purposefully. And that gift will change your life.

Ep 62: Size Aint Nothing But A Number Jul 19, 2017

Show notes

Growing up, my size was always something I attached shame too. I yearned to be smaller. And back in May, while in Seattle with my sponsor Oiselle for a Girls On Track Event where we gave out sports bras and education about boobs and changing bodies to young girls, I kept seeing women and girls alike feel insecure about their size. When I'd suggest a size and show them how to fit it, I'd recognize the pain in their face before they asked for a sports bra two or three sizes smaller.

Our sizes and our weight is nothing to be ashamed about. In fact, size aint nothing but a number. Last week, I read an article on Shape.com titled, "Why America Hates Fat People, The Feminist Take" and it made me want to throw my phone into the East River.

Today, I need to talk about taking the shame away from our sizes because we can make a difference. We can take the shame away from our weight and sizes. But change doesn't happen overnight. From the conversations we have with our daughters, families, friends, coworkers, within our communities, and even the ones we have online, this is a conversation that needs to be happening. And it needs to be happening often.
