In one of the most inspiring running stories of the year, Tammy Hsieh ran 2:37:00 and hit the OTQ standard on the number🎯to qualify for the US Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando, FL on Feb 3, 2024! When Tammy turned the final corner, the finish line clock read 2:36:50 and she kicked for home with everything she had left and crossed the 🏁 line at 2:37:03. There were a few uncertain moments before friends showed Tammy her chip time, and someone from the CIM team draped her with the coveted OTQ banner and they began to celebrate her huge accomplishment.

Tammy became the 173rd woman to earn her spot in this year's race. She’s has been on quite a tear over the past two years-let’s look at her amazing progression: 2:48 2021 CIM💨2:45 Indy 2022💨2:37:44 Ottawa 5/28💨 CIM 2:37:00💨📉12/8.

Focusing On Joy and the Process To Find Her Best-Polly Moody

Meet Polly Moody, Mom of two, full-time teacher, and 2:46 marathoner! Polly tore her ACL and meniscus two years ago when her running had been on an upward trajectory. She tackled a long, difficult rehab where she faced some setbacks and had serious doubts on whether she would make it back to her previous form. Polly injected more long runs on trails and shifted her focus to process versus outcome. Along the way she found more joy and the fastest, best version of her running self.

Polly just turned 40 and her speedy 2:46 time earned her 9th in her age group and a free bib through the American Development Group for 2024. Stoked to follow Polly’s inspiring journey. Hope you all enjoy the listen.🎧 🎙

Ep 124-Simone Carniglia-Running & Inspiring the Type One Diabetes Community.

Meet Simone Carniglia, Six-Star finisher, and Guinness World Record holder as the fastest runner with Type One diabetes with an amazing average time of 2:42:30 per race. Simone started his running journey to lose weight and was inspired by Stefano Baldini, the great Italian marathoner that won the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Running these incredibly fast times is impressive, but for a diabetic it is significantly more challenging. A diabetic marathoner has to continuously control blood sugar levels in order to be safe, not faint, and perform at their best. They’re more subject to cramping and dehydration during physical activity, especially when glucose levels aren’t managed properly.

Simone .carniglia has only been running for five years and is just getting started. He hopes his journey will inspire many other diabetic athletes to not give up on their dreams, and never give up. Simone’s story proves with the right training, nutrition, therapy, strategy and use of the latest technologies such as Freestyle Libre 3, diabetic runners can achieve amazing results that weren’t imaginable just a few short years ago.

Simone is grateful for the profile they featured on him for World Diabetes Day and is excited to get started on a second round of . Rooting for Simone to keep inspiring and look forward to seeing him out there in 2024. Hope you all enjoy the listen. 🎧🎙️ https://pod.fo/e/205dbc

Meet Rob Dalto, Six-Star finisher, Abbott ambassador, and running community builder.

When Rob’s Dad was battling Cancer in 2017, running marathons with his Sister Nicole became a way for his family to bond together. His Dad enjoyed watching them race and they made him a big part of their Six-Star journey. And though he didn’t make it to their finish line, Rob runs with his Dad’s name, Joseph, on his singlet, and uses running as a way to honor his Dad and stay connected with him.

Rob has run all 5 Abbott Majors in 2023 and only needs to finish off his hometown race at NYC 🍎 to complete an Abbott Slam. There are currently only 84 runners in the 🌎 who have completed one, and around 10 on the journey this year hoping to join this illustrious group after NYC. Rob had a breakthrough day in Chicago, ripping a 2:56 PR fueled by a powerful ❤️letter his Dad sent in 2017 sharing how inspired and proud he was of Rob and Nicole’s running journeys.

Rob works hard to engage in the community. Doing workouts with a multitude of groups, performing sweat tests for runners to help them understand fueling, and trying to give back to the sport that brings him so much joy.

Thanks to Rob for bringing such positive energy ✨ this full convo is also on 🎥 🎞️ IG, hoping you enjoy the watch or listen 🎙️🎧

Ep 119-Acupuncture for Runners With Teddy Levarda, M.S., L.A., Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)

Meet Teddy Levarda, Licensed Acupuncturist at Morningside Acupuncture NYC. Teddy joined me for a FUN and informative IG Live RunChat, where we discussed the value of utilizing dry needling, acupuncture to treat chronic pain, running and sports injuries. Teddy, and Morningside are well-known in the NYC running community for helping runners work through and solve challenging injuries, and keep us out there pursuing our big goals and dreams.

Sara Girotto .happy.places.paces on mindset, learning and working with her Coach to accept “I Belong” in the American Development Corral and crushing a 2:55 and winning her Age Group 🥇 in a World Marathon Major

For every runner out there that has gotten a late start, Sara’s inspiring 🌟 journey is for you! After moving to the US from Italy 🇮🇹 the family ran a 5K together and she was hooked. In her mid 30’s with no background in the sport, she had some remarkable results early on running a 3:06 debut marathon! But running all her runs at the same tempo pace and distance led to some setbacks.

After meeting her Coach at a race, they started working together, adding structure to her training and he helped Sara to work on her mindset. After struggling with imposter syndrome at USATF Masters Championship races, to slowly believing she belonged. This successful partnership has helped Sara become a 4X USATF 🇺🇸 AG National Champion and set PR’s of 18:18 5K, 1:01 10M, 1:24 1/2M, 2:55 Marathon in 2022.

We discussed adjusting to living in the US. Where her drive comes from. Mindset. Imposter syndrome. Working through injuries. From Boston DNF to Sub3. Masters Running. Mantras. Gratitude. Stay In the Fight Moment. Being Open.

So many lessons to unpack in this one. Hope you all enjoy the listen 🎧

Conquering Uncharted Territory; Breaking the Tape in her Debut Marathon!

Meet Lauren Hagans, the 2024 Grandma’s Marathon Champion, who made a sensational marathon debut, scorching 🔥a 2:25:55, running the fourth-fastest U.S debut of all time! Though Lauren has coached many marathoners, and is surrounded by strong, rockstar marathoning teammates who shared helpful nuggets, this was truly uncharted territory. “You never get to a starting line by yourself! Little pieces of magic were shared with me at moments of doubt along the way to my first marathon. They helped me develop trust.”

We discussed: Her build-Lauren was concerned about pushing her mileage too high due to past injuries, and her Coaches built her a plan that played to her strengths. Mentors/Coaches who’ve had an impact-Todd Harbour at Baylor Ben Rosario Jenna Wrieden Most meaningful races-1:09:46–4th-place finish debut at the USATF Half Marathon Championships. Grandma’s best executed race plan, and how awesome it was to share the joy with her Coach Jenna at the finish line. Stay in the fight moment. What’s next.

Lauren has competed in 3 Olympic Trials on the Track and is stoked 💥to compete in the marathon trials in Feb. She is hoping to rock a fast 💨half at Valencia before then. Look forward to following more of her inspiring 🌟 journey. Let’s dive in and take a listen 🎧 https://pod.fo/e/18e479

Meet Angela Maciocia, an inspiring🌟 elite Canadian Masters runner from Montreal 🇨🇦

You’re Built From Hard Things is the episode title and perfectly personifies Angela’s fire🔥drive 💪🏼 and spirit. She was in severe pain running the Chicago Marathon and her husband and Coach Bruce Raymer pulled her off the course at 29K where she left on crutches, with a 50% plantar fascia tear and a broken heart 💔 Angela kept the faith through some dark moments, grinding long hours on pool runs and on the elliptical, and with a team of therapists to help her rebuild physically, and mentally with a mindset coach. Fast forward 7 months later, Angela rocked a 39:19 at the Canadian 🇨🇦 10K Champs on a super hot 🥵 day, good for 1st AG, 6th female masters and put into practice everything she’s been working on.

Angela’s inspired by her autistic son Noah and the many obstacles and challenges he’s overcome. Her Stay In the Fight Moment, “Advocating for Noah every day, that time period, those ten years, shaped me for who I am now.” Angela credits her Mom for instilling her fierce work ethic, drive and fire. And Husband/Coach Bruce who changed her approach to training & passionately believes her best racing days are ahead.

Angela had a 23 year career as an Adult Educator, working with adults with disabilities. She regularly communicates with autistic parents to help guide them as a way to give back and is super grateful for the magical team of people that support her running journey. Hope you are all inspired by Angela’s journey and enjoy the listen 🎧

Meet Anna Rohrer, former 8-time All-American for Notre Dame ☘️5X HS national champion whose running has been on fire 🔥 of late. In the Boston marathon, Anna finished first among the masses, clocking a sensational time of 2:30:52, a personal best of nearly 6 minutes and placed 22nd overall. Just 19 days later, she shattered the course record and achieved a new PR of 1:11:31 winning the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon in Indy, all while receiving tremendous local support.

After graduating in 2020, Anna transitioned to professional running and joined the B.A.A's High Performance Team. However, recurring back pain compelled her to take a break from the team, focusing on allowing her mind and body to heal. During this time, she worked on training by effort, avoiding the track, and rediscovering the joy in her running. Collaborating with local physical therapists, Anna realized she was overly relying on her hamstrings and lower back, prompting her to rewire her movement patterns and engage her glutes more effectively.

Anna’s Stay In the Fight 🥊💪🏼Moment! Not even two broken feet and being in a wheelchair part of her junior year of HS could stop Anna from coming back and winning her 2nd Foot Locker Championship. “I just really had this feeling in me that it was something I needed to see through. The way that is has been able to be used for so much more good in the future has just uncovered itself so much throughout the years. To see it come like full circle in a lot of different ways and then years down the road of being able to be that mentor, be that voice for other people is the reminder of why I stayed in the fight and then also why I want to continue to do so now when I face challenges.”

Anna’s unwavering determination and sense of purpose guided her through difficult times, and she now sees the value in using her experiences to inspire and mentor others as a mindset Coach.

Anna’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and staying in the fight, as she continues to overcome challenges and inspire others along the way. Follow her journey & join the conversation with and

Running With Joy; Hunting Her Best!
Meet Sydney Devore, 2X OTQ and 7th American in 💛Boston💙 in the strongest field ever assembled in the storied races 127 year history. Sydney set a goal of top ten and showed up big time, rocking a 2:31:08, closing strong in the hills to get it done!

Sydney has overcome a lot of adversity to get to this point and is just starting to scratch the surface. Multiple stress fractures, tragically losing her Mom, training through brutally tough Michigan winters. Those struggles have made her stronger. Joining as a Coach connected her with so many athletes where she encourages them to find joy in the process and their wins return that joy. Her Mom imparted that valuable lesson and it helps her reframe her toughest moments. Sydney also shares her big goals with her athletes and she can feel them as she is crossing the timing mats, knowing they are tracking her on race day.

“ I ran this race with so much joy, that no matter the outcome, I was going to be happy. I am so damn proud of my 7th place American finish. I am proud of my time of 2:31:08 and the way I ran the race. We always want more, but I am grateful to be making sustainable gains in the right direction. “

Andrea Pomaranski grew up idolizing Lisa Fernandez, and dreamed of one day pitching for the US 🇺🇸Softball 🥎 Team. On March 12th, she set a Masters American Record, scorching a 3:07:48 50K at 6:03P per mile, and won her first National Championship! It was the 2nd fastest 🇺🇸US 50K time behind the great and 3rd fastest for any woman at any age in the World, but most importantly earned Andrea that coveted honor she dreamed of as a little girl, representing Team USA.🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

running resume is beyond impressive. 3X Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifier. 2nd American Berlin. 1st Masters New Haven 20K. 2:31:06 Marathon PR Houston 7th Place. American Masters Record Holder Mile 4:47 & 50K USATF Champion, Masters American Record 3:07:48.

What’s more awe inspiring is how this Mom of three has endured and bounced back from the personal tragedy of losing her first two children. “10 years ago, we lost our first two children in a very heartbreaking way. For a year after our second son died I considered it a win for the day just to get out of bed in the morning. It was by far and away the darkest time period of my life, but also one that I am the most proud of because I never gave up. Even though I felt like my world had ended the day they died, I refused to believe there weren’t better things ahead. And little by little, the small wins started to turn into big wins and now I find myself with 3 healthy, beautiful children, an incredible husband and friends, and even able to run and set PR’s at the age of 40. “

Andrea was told by one of the best Doctors in the country that she would never run more than a few miles again due to osteoporosis and she overcame that, too. Her return to running started out for her mental health, to reclaim some space, but her fire was still burning bright to see what she could accomplish.

I think she is just getting started and can’t wait to follow along. For all the Mom’s out there juggling so much for your family, there are so many good takeaways in this one. Let’s dive in and take a listen.

Lisa Weightman Ep 109-Keep Chasing Your Dreams!

“I pledge to be a role model and inspire others to always think beyond their limits to achieve things they never dreamed were possible.” Associate Partner, IBM Australia, Olympian and High Performance Coach.

Meet Lisa Weightman, business leader, badass Mom, 4X Olympian, and one of the fastest, most inspiring humans I’ve been blessed to meet. Lisa’s overcome a lot to reach the fastest, best version of herself. She is quick to credit those in her inner circle for the key roles they play: Husband for always keeping things light and providing much needed massage services, Coach and son Pete who is secretly calling all the shots.

Lisa put together a near perfect training block then proceeded to pull off one of the most amazing marathon doubles in history, scorching a 2:23 4th place .official (just 10 seconds from 2nd place) and a 2:31 13th place finish at Tokyo just 7 days later!! Her secret to recovery, a family visit to Tokyo Disneyland between races where she likely put in more steps than at either marathon😜

It was so FUN to catch up with Lisa on her PB breakthrough and what goals she is chasing next: running in her 5th Olympics, 10K & HM PB attempts, finishing off her Six-Star in Boston next year.

For more on Lisa’s inspiring journey, check out Ep 97. Give her a follow and take a listen🎧
