#134 Kenny Ademolu Jan 21, 2019

Show notes

2018 started with disappointment for Kenny Ademolu. He failed to PR in his A race, the London Marathon, the DNF’d six weeks later at the Stockholm Marathon. Then he got on a serious roll. Kenny proceeded to PR at every distance over the rest of the year - including a 2:55 at the Chicago Marathon. It was an amazing year for the IT specialist from the U.K. who started running in 2012 in an effort to lose weight from his 220 lb. frame. You can follow him at www.instagram.com/kenny_runz.

#132 Julie Rembold Jan 14, 2019

Show notes

In 2018 Julie Rembold set personal bests at every distance, including a 3:01 in the marathon. Sounds like a dream, right? Not quite. A year earlier Julie, and her five young children, learned that her husband Dan had leukemia. Within days he was bed ridden for months. Thankfully, by the end of the year he was back to full strength. At that point Julie felt incredibly blessed and significantly out of shape. Then, within weeks of getting back to running she dropped an incredible 1:34 at the Dallas Half Marathon and took off from there. You can learn more about Julie at www.instagram.com/txrunningmomof5.

#131 Marcus Smith, Part 2 Jan 10, 2019

My conversation with Marcus Smith was so epic that we had to put it into two parts, and this is part two. If you haven’t done so already please listen to part one first.

#130 Marcus Smith, Part I Jan 07, 2019

Show notes

My conversation with Marcus Smith was so epic that we had to put it into two parts. A former pro rugby player, Marcus transitioned to extreme endurance events. But, along the way, he was hit by a truck into a brick wall while descending a mountain on his bike. His recovery was amazing, as is his story. You can follow him at www.instagram.com/mjd_smith.

#129 Lyndsey Richards - Stroke, seizures, and strength Jan 03, 2019

Show notes

Lyndsey Richards is the personification of strength and resilience. After an undiagnosed stroke, Lyndsey developed epilepsy and was beset with seizures. Doctors initially told her she couldn’t be alone with her kids and that her running career was over. Lyndsey and her family found a way to make both of those predictions incorrect. Not only that, she ran two marathons in late 2018 to the shock of many. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#128 Kevin Hopp - Non-runner to ultra runner Dec 31, 2018

Show notes

Kevin Hopp is someone who inspires me on a daily basis. He transitioned from swimmer as a young man, to non-athlete athlete in his 20's and early 30's, to ultra runner and 3:00 marathoner. In the final episode of 2018, we talk to this amazing and humble man who embodies everything this podcast is about. To top it off, Kevin decided in mid-December to go for 5,000 miles in 2018 by running 32 miles a day over the last week and a half of December. Simply incredible. Learn more about your ad choices.

#127 Coach’s Corner with James McKirdy and Run Angel CEO David Caren Dec 27, 2018

Show notes

The Coach’s Corner segment is back with my coach, and founder of McKirdy Trained, James McKirdy. We talk about the world‘s favorite topic this time of year - goal setting. We go over do’s/don’ts, the difference between a goal and vision, and the fallacy of “lost fitness.” In the second part of the show I am joined by David Caren, the CEO and co-founder of Run Angel. We take a deep dive into runner safety, preventing attacks, and how he and his wife built Run Angel because they couldn’t find a proper safety product that worked seemlessly for running.
