    55: Prove Yourself Wrong: Getting To The Next Finish Line w/ Rylee Jade
    Jan 6 2025
    This runner is someone I've personally followed for a while and I think brings such a joy to the running community. In 2020, she found herself searching for new ways to prove herself wrong and push beyond her limits, which eventually led her to run three DIY races in the span of two years. It started with a DIY half, then a DIY full, and then finally, a DIY Ironman.

    We break down the mental battle of these races and how those experiences helped shape the future of her running. We also get into topics of coaching and when to get a coach, as well as social media influencing as a runner. So there's a lot of great stuff in this episode.

    Dec 30 2024
    On today's episode we talk to an ultra runner who started running over 20 years ago in middle school but because of a delivery job at Jimmy John's actually ended up getting away from running for a while and dove headfirst into the biking world. After bike racing for a year he decided he wanted to get back into running and tackled the challenge of completing his first marathon.

    From there, we get into how this road eventually led to ultras and how the mental toughness aspect of running in ultras where the change can really happen in yourself.

    Today's runner is a dad marathoner and run-streaker with 10 years in between his first and second marathon. We dive into a lot of detail about training for the Philly Marathon last year where he PR'd his marathon time by nearly two hours as well as how consistency through his run streak has really allowed him to show up better for his family and for himself.

    We go in a little shoe tangent at the end, so if you're a shoe fanatic, make sure you stick around for that. We also talked about Bobby's awesome running playlist that we wanted to share with all of you so make sure you check out that link below!

    Dec 9 2024
    In today's episode, we got to talk to the queen of Chicago running, whose first marathon and several marathons since then have been at THE Chicago Marathon. I seriously would have sat and chatted about every race with this runner, but since she's ran quite a few, we talked about a few of her race experiences, some tips and tricks she's learned along the way and how running has changed over time.

    After all, runners like to yap about running and that's what this episode is.

  • 50: Sober Dad Running: A Journey Of Showing Up For Yourself w/ Brad Crawford

    50: Sober Dad Running: A Journey Of Showing Up For Yourself w/ Brad Crawford
    Dec 2 2024
    Thirteen months ago, this runner was plagued by addiction and was at the lowest point in his life where he had started thinking that life was no longer worth living. He thankfully reached a point where he found resources to recovery and along the way found that movement could be something that he could direct his energy into rather than putting it towards something harmful.

    From there it was a whirlwind of races and experiences where he kept proving to himself that he could do hard things that that life was worth sticking around for. Now he has the goal of sharing a story with others and hope that they can find their way out of the darkness just like he did.

  • 49: Training For An Ironman x3: Embracing the Hard w/ Kaitlin Carew

    49: Training For An Ironman x3: Embracing the Hard w/ Kaitlin Carew
    Nov 25 2024
    If you're curious what it takes to train for three full Ironmans, this is the episode for you! This runner started running pretty young and eventually found her way into the triathlon world that she ended up falling in love with.

    Her first marathon experience was actually a training run leading up to her first full Ironman, and for both of those races she experienced the trap we're all familiar with with setting the bar a little too high for her first experience and coming out a little too quick. The positive though is that she's been able to learn so much from those experiences and pick up little improvements that she's trying to apply now to her third full Ironman attempt, which by the way, by the time this podcast episode comes out, she'll have already completed.
