John Calabrese: A Serious Case of FOMO May 30, 2023

Show notes

John Calabrese is running and racing all the time, he loves exploring the world on his own two feet and loves the camaraderie and community building that racing provides. Running has also brought some incredible people into his life like his buddy Donald who is confined to a wheelchair, but loves racing almost as much as John does.

John's energy and joy for running are contagious, and it's hard not to be inspired by a man who cherishes winning "The Happy Trail Runners Runner Of The Year Award" almost more than anything else.

Jana Fridrichová: Just Having Fun May 25, 2023

Show notes

Jana Fridrichová was a dancer in childhood, but as an adult would find that running was something she was good at. A college Track and Cross Country Coach saw her at a local road race and encouraged her to train with his team and the lessons she learned during that time helped shape her as a runner, but it was only after she left the structured day to day regiment that she found her real speed.

Armed with a love of hill repeats and a never give up attitude Jana has been crushing it lately, including a recent win at the Georgia Death Race, and a second place at the Barkley Fall Classic. Expect to see big things from Jana as she continues to crush races up and down the East Coast.

Andrew Glaze: The Coco Canyons 350 May 18, 2023

Show notes

Andrew Glaze is a Firefighter and Paramedic that started running big miles during the pandemic. 1000 mile months were soon "backed down" to weeks of at least 100 miles. Currently he has over 160 consecutive weeks of at least 100 miles.

Andrew recently had the idea to race 350 miles in one week, running both the Canyons 100 and Cocodona 250, creating a little adventure called the Coco Canyons 350.

We share a lot of laughs with Andrew and he shares some great advice about motivation, lube game improvement, and things he does to keep running fun.
