Nancy Eckerson is my guest this week. This lifelong New Hampshire resident is as connected to the New England running scene as anyone I’ve ever known. And that connection runs deep both personally and professionally. When running came into her life in her late 30’s it was a way to improve her health and fitness. Over the next three decades her passion for running would help her build strong friendships and create opportunities to combine that zeal with her love of writing. Her successful weekly running column, featured in Foster’s Daily Democrat, Portsmouth Herald, and Seacoast Sunday, are evidence of that. She shares what she’s learned over the last thirty years covering the sport of running and being a runner herself.

Warren Angell joins the show this week. What are the chances running can save your life not once, but twice? Well that’s exactly what happened to Warren. At two very different times in his life, for two very different reasons, running was his salvation. Yet despite that, as you’ll hear, running isn’t what defines him. This intrepid explorer lives by the philosophy that “adventure is everywhere”. And he, more than anyone I’ve ever met, embodies that credo. I mean seriously, who finishes an Ironman distance triathlon a year after learning how to swim?

Dave Dunham (Double D) is my guest this week. If you just go by the numbers (if you know Dave, you know he’s a numbers guy) he’s run over 157,000 lifetime miles in 18 countries and all 50 states. During his five decades as a runner he’s run, raced, and won on all surfaces, in seasons, and across all distances from the mile up to 100 kilometers. That incredible success has earned him multiple Hall Of Fame recognitions, Runner Of The Year awards, and enough gold medals to start his own bullion depository. But he’s been much more than just an elite athlete during this time. His contributions to the sport include coaching, race directing, and advising. As New England mountain runners and race directors we also have him to thank for the USA Track & Field Mountain Circuit which he founded. Join us as we discuss the origins of New England mountain running, the challenges it faces, and the opportunities to grow the sport in underrepresented demographics.

Jen Shultis joins the show this week. A decade ago she traded the gnarly, rocky, & rooty east coast trails for the buffed, breathtaking (literally), alpine tundra trails of the Pacific Northwest. But her trail running hasn’t been limited to Cascadia. She’s raced dozens of ultra’s all across the US. And with as much time as she spends in the woods, specifically in the Kitsap Peninsula of Washington State (ie. the epicenter of cryptozoology), you’d think the likelihood of an encounter with Bigfoot would be pretty high. And in this case you’d be right, but not exactly in the way in the way you imagine. Admit it, you’re intrigued.

Thomas Dal Molin, Jr. joins the podcast this week. A decade ago, as an undergrad at the University of New England, he walked into my office to interview for an internship. I chose one of his classmates instead. Two years later, undeterred by that rejection, he contacted me again looking for an internship. At that point how could I say no? That decision turned out to be one of the best of my clinical career as that Master’s level student would become a trusted colleague, great friend, and potential successor of my professional coaching business. This is the story of how it all came to be.

Mark Traeger is my guest this week. No doubt a visit to his bicycle shop is a commitment (I’ve never spent less than 45 minutes in the shop), but to understand this hilarious eclectic fast talker is to get to know a successful business owner who cares deeply about his community. Mark immigrated from New Jersey to New Hampshire more than twenty years ago and started a small business in a mill town without a mill. This local bicycle shop owner is independent only in the sense that he’s not beholden to one big brand. And that becomes evident when you hear him mention, by name, the other businesses and business owners that also call Rochester, NH home. He shares his experience as a small business owner in a small town and a large industry that has changed a lot in the past two decades.

Richard Langevin is my guest this week. Legendary basketball coach John Wooden once famously said, “Things turn out the best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”. Richard is the embodiment of this quote. Extreme hyperactivity and a book learning disability made for a very challenging upbringing. Yet despite that, he would become a very successful business owner. A month before his first Ironman distance triathlon he was hit by a car while on a training ride. Yet despite that, he finished that Ironman with effectively one arm. Finally, not quite a third of the way through a solo attempt at the Pemigewasset Wilderness loop (the 30+ mile, 10,000 feet of elevation gain backcountry wilderness hike in the remote White Mountains of NH) he severely twisted his knee. Yet despite that, he finished the loop on effectively one leg. Noticing a pattern? He shares these stories and more on this incredibly uplifting episode.

Cole Crosby is my guest. In the fall of 2011, I received an email inquiry from a student at the University of Oklahoma about snowshoe racing here in New England. Sounds crazy right? Turns out it wasn’t crazy as that student, Cole Crosby, a decade later would represent the US at the World Snowshoe Running Championships in Argentina finishing 11th overall and helping to lead Team USA to a second place finish. But as impressive as that is, as the expression goes, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Cole has quietly emerged as one of the top ultradistance athletes in the US. His list of podium finishes and course records is long and impressive. But it was his most recent success, The Speed Project, that truly exemplified his goal now; to inspire others to reach their goals by modeling hard work and determination.

Rich Lavers joins the show. As teammates, co-RD’s, and friends we share some pretty great memories. Even when, at times, things didn’t quite go our way. That’s the funny thing about sharing epic experiences with friends, regardless of the outcome the stories bond us together. Although Rich has purposely pivoted away from trail and mountain running (that’s a great story too), we get together at least once a year to host the Ralph Waldo Emerson Trail Race in Concord, NH. Rich talks about the history of the event including why he’s still involved as well as an important update on the new course changes.
