Today I’m sharing with you my conversation with Kristen Watkins She’s is the Frederick, MD Store Lead at one of the Country’s best running stores, . She’s also a coach, runner and creative gift giver. Together we come up with some clever ideas for every kind of runner!

In the episode, we start off talking about our best and worst gifts (as a giver and receiver) and then roll into this year’s hottest gift ideas. I even made my own wish list for my friends and family after hearing some of Kristen’s ideas.

**Check out the new episode on the podcast!**

Jeff Humphrey is an ultra runner and running coach but the "old Jeff" was a binge eater, drinker and consumption connoisseur - as he puts it. At his heaviest he weighed 452 lbs but running helped him loose over 200 lbs, twice! He believes running can help pull us out of our darkest places, and that success means never giving up.

His story teaches us that consistency is key, and everyday is an opportunity to get closer to our goals.

Follow Jeff to learn more about and support him!

Have a great run everybody!
❤️

Jeff Cunningham is one of the best running coaches in America coaching some of the top athletes in the country but what I love about him is that he recognizes all athletes and finds goals from completing your first marathon to qualifying to for the olympic trials worthy of his time and won’t let anyone tell him otherwise.

What’s it like to be a highly sensitive person in a community that thrives on deeply emotional experiences?

That’s what my guest, Jamie DePaola , and I explore in today’s episode

Jamie is a fellow empath, and is also a clairvoyant, and ultra marathon runner.

From the moment I saw her, I felt like we’d known each other for my entire life! Some people even say we even look alike with similar mannerisms.

Maybe it’s no wonder I found her aura refreshing but I’ve no doubt you're going to catch all the feels during this conversation.

Jamie’s energy is contagious and her heart is warm and welcoming and I can’t wait to share her with you.

Slide 2: Jamie and the woman, Kristin, who helped her cross the finish line of her first marathon.

Today, I’m speaking with Elite Ultra Runner, Don Reichelt. He recently ran 250 miles in his longest run yet but it was his multi-record breaking 24 hour treadmill run that had me the most curious about his special kind of crazy! 😋

In this episode we cover what makes people like Don capable of the hard to imagine and why they do it. We also hear his advice for anyone taking on their version of hard, and why we shouldn’t let anyone make us feel like running needs to be anything other than what we need it to be in our lives.

There's a saying "Sobriety isn't for those who need it. It's not for people who want it. It's for people who do it."

Today, you’re going to hear an incredible running story. After two years of sobriety from he**in and m**h, our guest rediscovered his love for running and 5 years later (this past December) he qualified for the Olympic Marathon Team Trials. 

Mitch Ammons was a bad drug addict and today we’re going to discuss how he found redemption through our sport. 
We kick off the episode discussing pre-race nerves and training before exploring his past and why he strives to give hope to anyone struggling to see to the other side of addiction. Thanks for joining us, Mitch!

Today we’re talking about diversity in our sport with Philly Race Director, Running USA Board Member, and owner of All Fitness Events, Kathleen Titus

Kathleen and I met last May at the Buffalo Marathon and remained in touch bonding over a passion for running and how to make a difference in the community. I invited her on the show as a friend and someone I admire and respect, but I had no idea we’d dive into this topic of inclusion in our sport and how leaders like her are working to ensure everyone feels represented at our races.

As the city that loves you back, it’s no wonder Kathleen was chosen as race director for the Philly marathon.  She is all about returning the love she feels for this sport and our athletes.

I can’t wait to share her with you!

Please not that we will be covering the topic of transgender athletes in sport and there have been a few developments to this rapidly evolving topic since we recorded…including the World Athletics ban on transgender women from competing in female world ranking events  that goes into effect today March, 31st.

Today, March 31st, is also International Transgender Day of Visibility. And while there is still much to learn when it comes to understanding the conflicting needs and rights between different groups, I believe everyone deserves to feel like they belong in our community and am honored to be connected with people like Kathleen who are dedicated to being a voice that inspires change for the benefit of those who need to be seen.

Hope you find this episode inspiring!

At 13, Cole Cosgrove is the youngest guest we’ve ever had on the show. His coach, Sam Lomax, raves on social media that he is the next super star.

Cole consistently places first in his age group but what got my attention was his presence among the running community. The mutual respect between him and the other athletes. The respect reserved for those of us who always take our next best step. The respect shared between runners of every age.

He is proof that sport is the true equalizer and racing is where we meet on common ground.

On this episode we talk to him and his parents, Matthew and Kara Cosgrove, about running and learn what drives Cole's passion for excellence at such a young age.
