Ep 51: FAT May 31, 2017

Show notes

On a car ride back from a family reunion, we listened to episode 589 of This American Life titled "Tell Me I'm Fat". The episode started off with this eye opening statistic-- ⅓ of Americans are classified as overweight and another ⅓ are obese. And then, the four acts went on to pose the idea that maybe it's time to rethink the way we see being fat.

YES. OF COURSE IT'S TIME TO RETHINK THE WORD FAT. The fact most people who are struggling with their weight, fat or not, struggle with such intense feelings of shame, self loathing, and disgust is unacceptable.

I've lost so many years of my life consumed with how much I weighed, convinced that I needed to lose X amount of weight in order to be beautiful or happy. I don't care how many times I have to say it, strength doesn't look a certain way, it feels a certain way.

We don't just need to change the way we feel about the word fat, but we need to change the way we (specifically women) see themselves. Today's episode is a tough one but it's an important one.

Ep 50: 70% of Women Don't Like Their Bodies And It's Not OK May 24, 2017

Show notes

This week, I'm in Seattle visiting with Oiselle talking Girls on Track (GOT Bras) and what we can do empower the sisterhood. (Hint Hint -- National #SportsBraSquadDay is coming. June 24th. Mark your calendars.) One of the serious badasses here at Oiselle, Megan Murray, shared some sobering statistics with me that broke my heart and it is my hope that they make you really, really angry as well. Ready?

The National Eating Disorders Association found that 70% of women report they don't like their bodies, and that 89% of women have dieted by age 17. THOSE NUMBERS AREN'T OK. Here's what I want to ask you, at what point will we be happy? What will it take for you to realize that you aren't just good enough but that you're already the best version of yourself possible?

I need to talk about what we can do to make this number disappear.

Ep 49: Project 1:59 Breaking The 2 Hour Barrier Together May 23, 2017

Show notes

For hundreds of thousands of runners, breaking 2 hours in the half marathon is the goal they fight for. It requires grit, determination, perseverance, and patience because for so many of us, it takes year to break through that mental barrier. And this weekend, after we launched Project 1:59, I saw first hand how difficult it is to believe in yourself when you don't think you can do it. I want to take a second to celebrate all the runners who try, fall short, and dare to try time and time again.

If you're chasing that sub 2 hour half marathon, join the Project 1:59 club on Strava and share your story! Let us know where you're racing and what breaking 2 means to you. This year, we're breaking the 2 hour barrier together.

Ep 48: Live For Today May 19, 2017

Show notes

Live every single day like it could be your last. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. This morning, one of my friends sent me the Tedx talk called "The Magic Of Not Giving A F**k" by Sarah Knight. In her speech, Sarah talks about how to stop spending time you don't have doing things you don't want to do. But here's the thing, it's really hard to put yourself first. So today's episode is all about about what it means to live for today.

Ep 45: Struggling To Figure Out "What's Next" May 12, 2017

Show notes

I'm in the throws of the post marathon blues and I feel totally and completely disoriented and lost. And I can't escape this idea of what's next.

I hate "what's next". I love setting goals and working towards something. And right now, I don't have a tangible finish line to move towards. And I feel so much pressure to have my next chapter figured out and the truth is, I don't really know what's next. And I'm embarrassed to admit that.

What do you do when you're in transition, thinking about what's next, or when you're feeling numb? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

I'll never forget how terrified I was when I launched Run, Selfie, Repeat and today, I couldn't imagine my life without it. Share your story. You won't regret it.

Ep 44: It's OK To Feel Disappointed In Yourself May 10, 2017

Show notes

Anyone who has ever chased a goal that felt intimidating and unattainable, put in the work, and then either stood in their own way or "failed" trying knows how disappointing it can be to fall short.

After reading through a few billion emails from readers and listeners urging me not to feel disappointed in how I handled the London Marathon, we need to talk about the fact that it's ok to feel disappointed in yourself. What's not ok is to take disappointment and turn it into a sign that you should give up.

Nobodies perfect. We all make mistakes. What I experienced during the London Marathon isn't something I'm particularly proud of but when I was out there on the course, struggling to find a way not to give up, I remembered what Sophie Walker had said during the Women Run Strong event. Sophie told a story about how one particularly rough day, she realized that no one was going to save her.

She had to save herself.

Sometimes the cards are stacked against us. Regardless of what happens, there's no such thing as game over. When you stumble, you have to give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you're feeling. Feel disappointed. Or sad. But remember, set backs don't define you. They're just apart of the journey. The only way you'll fail is if you fail to try. No regrets, no excuses.

Ep 43: Doubt, Identity, and Vulnerability with Bad Ass Ultra Runner Devon Yanko May 05, 2017

Show notes

Devon and I on the Women Run Strong Panel before the 2017 London Marathon.

As if running 30-100 miles (often up mountains) isn't super human enough, imagine being one of the greatest ultra runners in the world. Well, Devon Yanko doesn't have to imagine it, she is one of the strongest ultra runners around.

I could sit here and list her many accolades (OK, I'll list a few--from placing third in the 2016 Western States 100 to qualifying for and competing in the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials (CLICK HERE to see Devon's race highlights), Devon is known for kicking ass and taking names both on the roads and on the trails. But what I love about Devon isn't just that she knows how to run her heart out, it's that she runs with her heart.

I know that sounds cheesy but I could sit and talk to Devon about life, running, set backs, break throughs, feeling defeated, inspired, or what it means to be a strong woman all day long. It's so rare to find professional athletes open up about what it's like to be a leader in the field and still have everything they say be so incredibly relatable. But with Devon, it doesn't matter if you're an ultra marathoner or if you just got bit by the running bug, she'll remind you that we all struggle. But if you take it one step at a time and invest in believing in yourself, you can't lose.

CLICK HERE to watch Life In A Day, the incredible documentary shot during Western States. (It's incredible.)

To learn more about Devon, you can keep up with her on Instagram, Twitter, on her website, or on Strava.

Ep 42: Royally Ashamed: The London Marathon Apr 28, 2017

Show notes

To say that the London Marathon wasn't my day is an understatement. I've never wanted to quit a race so badly in my life. But despite the fact that I didn't get the race I wanted, I still believe that the only way you can fail is if you fail to try. Last year, I set an impossible goal. And after one failed attempt, I was ready to make impossible, possible. Do I regret setting an impossible goal? Or why do I feel like I'm braving a breakup? Let's talk about what happened during the London Marathon.
