Show notes

In this episode, my friend Carrie Tollefson and I talk about some of the topics in the running community that have really drawn our attention. This is a slight departure from the normal episode that I do but I was excited to speak with Carrie given her expertise in so many areas of the sport.

#163 Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel May 06, 2019

Show notes

When Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel ran the 2019 Boston Marathon she competed for far more than PR or a time goal. Jordan had 26 names in her prayers, and paint on her face and legs, to bring attention to the violence that indigenous woman are facing on a daily basis. For each mile of the marathon, she said a prayer for an indigenous woman who is either missing or was murdered. Jordan was also running for Wings of America, which helps native youth to become the next generation of leaders. In this episode, Jordan discusses this vital topics as well as the her family's dynastic running background, how she fell in love with running in college after she dealt with her eating disorder, and her vision, both running and socially, for the future.

#161 Teri Hutcheon Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

The Boston Marathon can be a brutal race, especially when the weather takes an unexpected turn. That is why I am excited to have Teri Hutcheon on the show. She recently negatively split the course, and set a 10 minute marathon PR, on her way to a time of 3:17:50. Not only that, she endured a devastating 24 hours before her race started.

#160 Michelle Roos Apr 25, 2019

Show notes

Several years ago Michelle Roos was convinced that she would never break 3:40 minutes in the marathon. She had tried three times without success. In this episode, Michelle recounts how she became a 3:05 marathoner, how she dealt with the body pressures of the NYC fashion industry, the highs-and-lows that come with months of dedicated training, and balancing that training with a demanding job. Michelle does all of this with wonderful openness and honesty. You can follow Michelle at www.instagram.com/elleroos. While attending NYU, Michelle penned an article for Runner's World detailing her decision not to join an NCAA running program: www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a20787477/the-decision-to-run-in-college-is-not-easy.

#156 Bronson Venable Apr 11, 2019

Show notes

Who better to talk to in a lead-up to the Boston Marathon than Bronson Venable? This native New England-er set his marathon PR of 2:37 in the brutal 2018 race (finishing 84th) and has experienced everything that running in this area has to offer. In this episode he provides great tips for anyone looking to do well in Boston. Bronson's other PR's, 5k (Road) = 14:48, 5k (Track) - 14:28, 5 Miles = 24:54, and 13.1 = 1:10:19, illustrate the just how well-rounded he has become in recent years. Not only that, New Balance recently made plastered his face on billboards all along the course. I've gotten to know Bronson well over the years, as we've raced together over a dozen times, and I truly appreciate his wonderful perspective on the sport he loves. Learn more about your ad choices.

#155 Susan Loken Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

Susan Loken is who I want to be when I grow-up. Susan started running at the age of 35, after having three kids, and was striving for the Olympic Trials just a few years later. Not bad for someone who used to skip gym class. She has now qualified for the Olympic Trials three times and is a four time masters champion. With that said, she is far from done setting and achieving goals. Susan is currently aiming for the World Marathon Major’s Age Group World Championship in the 55-59 division. With a recent 2:55 at the Los Angeles Marathon, she is well on her way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
