Natalie Mitchell has proven that even long-term dedicated amateur runners can get faster, even into their 50's. She's a shining example of what's possible. Not only that, she's a dedicated coach who has also been assisting with two of her children's high school team. The boys squad, on which her son Josh is a senior, just won the 4A California title and was ranked in the 20th in the nation. Natalie's daughter, Megan, was a freshman on the girls squad which also had a successful season.
In this episode, Natalie shares how she has helped cultivate a love of running with her children while addressing their individual differences and making sure her passion for the sport doesn't overwhelm her desire to help them forge their own path in the sport.

If you told me two weeks ago that Lindsay Jones would be a guest on the podcast, I would have called you a liar (while secretly wishing you were correct). Lindsay is one of my favorite NFL media members, she is the Senior Editor/NFL for The Ringer, and an experienced amateur runner.
Well, it happened - Lindsay Jones is on the show I couldn't be more excited!
Last weekend she set a 14 minute PR at the NYC Marathon despite juggling her never-ending professional to-do list (especially during the NFL season) as well as parental responsibilities. In this episode she details how she got faster at age 43 and is excited to keep getting faster in the future despite living a busy life in the tumultuous world of sports media.

Norway has long stacked the field with champions in sports like Nordic skiing and sailing, but a new generation of athletes has arrived on the endurance scene, smashing records and grabbing medals in running, cycling, and triathlon.
Sports journalist Brad Culp unpacks the rise of the Norwegian method and its meticulous scientific protocols, which upend long-held beliefs about training and performance.
With its rugged terrain and harsh weather, Norway has a way of hardening competitors for any test. Culp explores the how the Scandinavian culture imbues a unique biopsychosocial approach to performance. He also introduces the athletes, coaches, and scientists who are shaking up the world of endurance sports. Their secret? Plenty of volume at low intensity, punctuated with hard-fought double-threshold workouts, which seems to turn workhorses into winners—they know when to hold back and when to go all-out.
The Norwegian Method is a real-life story of how discipline and determination can be employed to overcome seemingly impossible odds and achieve breakthrough performances. Culp gives endurance athletes a blueprint of how to adapt their training to look more like that of Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Kristian Blummenfelt.

Last weekend Ruth Chepngetich broke the women's marathon world record with a time of 2:09:56 at the Chicago Marathon. She was bested the previous world record by 1:56 and beat the second place woman at Chicago by roughly 7:30.
Her performance sent shockwaves around the world. Since she crossed the finish line a question has reverberated through the running world and within each of us: How do we frame this performance and Ruth's place in history.
In this episode I share the questions I've asked myself this week about how I frame athletic excellence in a variety of sports, examine my contradictions and biases, and set a path moving forward.

Christian Allen might be the most fascinating man in U.S. trail running. The two time all-American at BYU and Weber State is now a professional trail runner sponsored by Nike and Peregrune. He was able to parlay his high level college success into a trail career that is currently focused on top sub-ultra events in Europe and the U.S. He is a dynamic racer who isn't afraid to push from the front, even against some of the best runners in the world. All-in-all, he is my favorite American male trail runner to follow and it was an honor to have him on the show.
In this episode he talks about his entrance into the pro trail running, how being a man of faith and a man of action create a perfect symbiosis, and how he was able to reach the podium at some of the most legendary races in the world so early in his career.
You can learn more about Christian at www.slimtherunner.com.

Often times we take deep dives into runner's recovery from traumatic injuries. Those are useful and inspiring but not always relevant to most runners. In this episode, we take a look at the physical, mental, and emotional recovery from a short-term injury setback.
Bridget Chamberlin returns to the podcast to talk about a three week injury setback that occurred with eight weeks left in her build to the 2024 Chicago Marathon. Bridget does a wonderful job detailing all of the feelings associated with her injury as well as the "all-in" method she used to bounce back and possibly return better than before.
If you want to learn more about Bridget's tremendous progression as a runner, you can listen to her feature story in episode 573. You can also follow her at www.instagram.com/bridgetchamberlinruns.
