    Episode 35 – Wilson Tang, Owner of Nom Wah Tea Parlor Feb 19, 2020
    Show notes

    Wilson Tang is the owner of Nom Wah Tea Parlor on 13 Doyer Street. The restaurant has been around since 1920 and seen different iterations as a bakery, tea parlor and it’s New York’s premiere dim sum parlor.

    Wilson grew up in Queens but spent much of his childhood in Chinatown, where Doyers Street was one of the most dangerous streets in the neighborhood due to gang violence. His parents immigrated from China and quickly settled in the restaurant and bakery industry. Wilson grew up helping out his family and attended college at Pace University. In 2011, he left his career in finance and took over for his uncle at Nom Wah. Ever since then, he has kept so much of the restaurant’s history in the Chinatown community alive. One step in there and you can immediately feel that history. The restaurant now has more locations in Manhattan, Philadelphia and China.

    When he’s not at his restaurants, Wilson is running for fun and frequently runs the New York City Marathon. He started off using the sport as a means to get healthy and lose weight. Now he’s just happy to be a part of it as one of the key members of Old Man Run Club. Catch Wilson on a run and he’s likely smiling. We think you’ll catch some of that in this conversation that we had when he hosted us at the original restaurant.

    Episode 33 – Olympic Trials Qualifiers Brendan Martin (NYAC), Lauren Perkins (Distance Project) & Jenny Donnelly (Central Park TC) Jan 22, 2020
    Show notes

    The following episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the New York Road Runners Center as we honored some of the local runners who will be competing at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta on Feb. 28.

    For those who may not be as familiar with the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, the top three finishers at the race will represent the United States at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo. In order to compete at the Trials, men have to run a marathon in 2:19:00 or faster. Women need to run a marathon in 2:45:00 or under. More than 200 men and 400 women have hit the mark. New York City is expected to field one of the strongest contingents of runners, especially on the women's side.

    Our guests for this episode:

    Brendan Martin of the New York Athletic Club

    Brendan is a Smithtown, New York native who ran at Columbia University and helped the team win an Ivy League conference cross country title in 2009. After graduating, he took to the roads as a member of the Hansons-Brooks team and debuted with a 13th place finish at the 2012 Boston Marathon. He ran 2:18:28 at the 2013 Fukuoka Marathon and qualified for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in 2016 with a personal best of 2:16:28 at the California International Marathon. He lowered that to his current personal best of 2:15:30 at Grandma's Marathon in June 2015. He qualified for this year's Olympic trials with a 2:16:26 at the 2018 Berlin Marathon. When he's not running, he's a physical therapist at Finish Line Physical Therapy.

    Distance Project's Lauren Perkins

    Lauren is the Chief Operating Officer at Great Oaks Foundation. Lauren ran 2:42:55 at the 2018 Chicago Marathon and finished as the 18th American woman across the finish line that day. In 2019, she finished second in her first trail marathon at the 2019 North Face Endurance Challenge in Massachusetts and then ran 2:43:40 at the 2019 New York City Marathon. She was previously nominated for New York Road Runners' Runner of the Year (30-34).

    Central Park Track Club's Jenny Donnelly

    Jenny is a senior manager in marketing insights at strategy at Glossier. She ran cross country and track at Yale and made her marathon debut in 2013 with a 3:12. Her qualifier for the trials came at last month's California International Marathon, where she ran 2:44:36 for a 15-minute personal best. She spoke with Outside Magazine about her close call and also recently appeared on the Ali on the Run Show alongside her mother.

    Episode 32 – Sarah Cummings of New York Athletic Club Jan 08, 2020
    Show notes

    To kick off 2020, we're going to try and share a few more stories from some of the top New York City women competing at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. We're kicking it off with Sarah Cummings of the New York Athletic Club. She's one of the nicest people that you might encounter if you're on an early morning run in Central Park. She owns a personal best of 2:34:47 from the 2014 Chicago Marathon, competed at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and represented the United States internationally several times.

    She got her start as a competitive figure skater in New Jersey and then went on to have a successful high school career in California before committing to Princeton. She ended up being a four-time Ivy League champion in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, an All-American and a member of a fifth-place finishing team at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. She accepted a job in New York City in graduation and never skipped a beat in her running. The transition to the roads was seamless until a nagging hamstring injury finally caught up to her and detached from her leg during a 50K world championship race. She shares the road to recovery that nearly led her to quit the sport and how she managed to qualify for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials with a comeback at the 2018 California International Marathon.

    Never give up. Trust the process.

    Episode 31 – Victoria Fortune Dec 23, 2019
    Show notes

    Before we close 2019, we wanted to share one of the most moving and inspiring stories from this year's New York City Marathon. In the days after the race, Nike released a two-minute video titled "Lessons From My Champ" that told the story of how Victoria Fortune used her first marathon as a way to celebrate the life of her father, who passed away in November 2018. Victoria was a member of Nike's Project Moonshot, the 16-week summer training plan, and connected with the running community during her grieving process. We heard more about Victoria when she was part of a long run hosted by Old Man Run Club in November. We spoke with her and wanted to share more of her story on the podcast. We learn about her upbringing in Maryland, how she's never been someone to take an opportunity for granted, what she does for work with Global Citizen and eventually her epic day at the NYC Marathon. What comes next for her after running her first marathon and how does she want to get more involved in the sport? She opens up with us. ▶ Follow Victoria on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vicmofo/ Support for this episode comes from FICS NYC (206 West 23rd Street, 3rd Floor) a fitness recovery and wellness studio.

    We were very fortunate to host one last live recording of the show for 2019 at the Equinox Hudson Yards Hotel. We got to share the storytelling process of how Brenden Clarke diversified his photography work to chronicle the 2019 Orchard Street Runners Midnight Half.

    Episode 29 – Sam Anderson and Iman Smith of Black Roses NYC Nov 15, 2019
    Show notes

    "I think the biggest lesson that I've learned from running is what I learned this spring from getting injured. It was learning that this activity that's become so much a part of my friendships, relationships with other people and the spiritual practice I have, one of my biggest fears, as a result, was not having that. What I learned this spring really is that running has actually been preparing me to not have it someday. At some point, it's not going to be there anymore so how is it changing me along the way. I think that's where we start getting into the transcendence Honestly, I don't give a fuck about the crews. I don't even want to know who is who and who is what. It's just so low in the mix for me as to why we're doing this and what the big picture is. I wish people gave more attention to what's going on inside and how their spiritual geometry is changing as a result of this." Sam Anderson and Iman Smith of Black Roses NYC join podcast over some wine at Contra (138 Orchard St). Sam is the wine and beverage director at Wildair and Contra in the Lower East Side. You may recognize him from the May 2018 cover of Runner’s World, where he opened up about his life and how he turned his life around from a life of partying that included lots of drinking and drugs to a life of running and mindfulness for the better. Iman Smith is a creative director who also serves as a run coach in the city. Back in September, he was hit by a car so his plans to run the NYC Marathon were in jeopardy. IMan and Sam decided to run the New York City Marathon together just a few weeks ago and hearing them recount their experience is what teammates are all about. ▶ Follow Sam on Instagram: www.instagram.com/sam4nderson/ ▶ Follow Iman on Instagram: www.instagram.com/soswanky/ Support for this episode comes from RAGNAR.

    Episode 27 –Mia Behm Oct 17, 2019
    Show notes

    Our guest for today’s show is one of the fastest ladies in New York City after she just ran 2:33:52 at the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 13. She also owns a runner-up finish from the 5,000 meters at the 2011 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships from her days at the University of Texas. It’s Mia Behm. On this show, you’ll hear the story of her start in the sport while in Texas, her surprising finish at the NCAA championships and then dealing with injuries that followed her highest moment. After some time running post collegiately in Austin, Mia moved to New York, watched her friends try the marathon and then curiosity got the best of her. It’s safe to say testing the marathon has been a great decision as she now eyed the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. How she ran 2:33 while running less than 60 miles per week and balancing a job that requires a two-hour commute from Brooklyn to Connecticut is truly remarkable. ▶ Keep up with Mia on Instagram: /https://www.instagram.com/miabehm/ ------ Sign up for the TCS New York City Marathon – Virtual 5K Powered by Strava!

    Episode 26 – Redefining Runners: Live with Mirna Valerio and the Pansa Boyz Sep 10, 2019
    Show notes

    Mirna Valerio and The Pansa Boyz (Tyrone Alomia, Hector Espinal, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Jason Suarez) join the podcast in front of a LIVE audience to discuss how they are redefining what runners look like and creating inclusive communities to inspire all. Mirna Valerio is a native of Brooklyn, NY, a former educator, cross-country coach, ultrarunner, obstacle course enthusiast, and author of the recently published memoir, A Beautiful Work in Progress. Although she began running in high school, she recommitted to the sport after a health scare in 2008. It was then that her love for running and all its attendant benefits were reignited. She soon started her blog Fatgirlrunning, about her experiences as a larger woman in a world of thinner athletes. The Pansa Boyz are Tyrone Alomia, Hector Espinal, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Jason Suarez. Profiled most recently in Men’s Health, the four friends have connected over the positive impact running has had for them. As their profile in Men’s Health notes, “These four guys—who’ve adopted the nickname ‘Pansa Boyz’ (“panza” the word for “belly” in Spanish)—weigh almost a ton combined. Recently, they teamed up to relay both the North Face Endurance 50K Challenge and the Brooklyn Mile, the native New Yorkers aren’t slowing down anytime soon—at least not because of their size.” ------ ❤️ Please consider supporting our work.
