Karen Sparks: Losing Everything and Finding Yourself Again Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

Karen Sparks had the perfect life, a loving husband, two amazing kids, a house in the suburbs. She soon realized that her husband was not what he appeared to be, and the lies became too much and she filed for divorce. Then the unthinkable happened, her ex-husband murdered her kids, and took his own life. The grief of this loss sent Karen down a dark path of depression, and it wasn't until an old friend, past guest Brandy Ray, reached out that she discovered running, and used the miles to come to terms with everything that she lost.

Jonathon Hull: Long Miles and Second Chances Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

When you see Jon Hull at races you will no doubt see his two daughters supporting their dad and cheering him on. Races for the Hulls are a family affair, but it wasn't always that way. Jon was lost in a world of drugs and alcohol when his kids were little, and he missed most of their early years. Then he made the decision to get sober, and a treadmill at the treatment facility got him running. With new sobriety, and a desire to get in shape, he got custody of his kids, and got the second chance to be the amazing dad he is today.

Ashley Paulson: Crushing Badwater Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

Ashley Paulson has been into fitness since she was a kid. Inspired by her Dad and Richard Simmons she ran her first marathon at age 18 and started teaching fitness classes shortly after. That love of fitness and running led to marathons, trail runs, triathlons, fitness classes, and a job as a virtual trainer for iFit.

Her sister put the Badwater 135 on her radar, and after running, and winning three 100 milers to qualify she won the race on her very first try. Before the joy of the finish line could fade some accused her of cheating. Those accusations were proven to be false, but just in case you were wondering, she would run the race again and set the new Women's course record, win the race overall, and run the second fastest time ever.

Kristian Morgan: The Power of the Body and the Mind Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

Kristian Morgan was born in the UK, but fell in love with the American Wilderness thanks to TV. It wasn't until after an adventure supporting Karel Sabbe on his record setting Appalachian Trail FKT that he knew he had found a challenge that was perfect for him. Something that would combine his love of running long distance with his childhood love of the American outdoors. After a few failed attempts he was finally able to put it all together and now has the second fastest time on the Appalachian Trail, 44 days 4 hours, 54 minutes, and he is ready to give the record another try.

Join Kristian and I as we have a fun conversation about his life in running, the AT, and how the body and mind are capable of so much more than we give them credit for.
