00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: with running. I got a lot of messages from you

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: guys saying that you wish you could have been there,

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: you weren't in the New York City area, whatever the

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: case may be.

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Maybe you were.

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Taking it easy before crushing it over the weekend. So

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm bringing this here. I really enjoyed the conversation live.

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: It's always super interesting to hear about different individuals experiences

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: with running and also, of course the mayor that awesome distance.

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: And we dove into a lot of great.

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: Stuff, ranging from talking about pre race nutrition, regular nutrition

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: during a training cycle, to the impact of social media

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: on training and also how each of us have handled

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: runs or races that have not gone well in the past.

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil this too much by giving

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: it all away in the intro, but of course I

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: also again want to thank my friends at you Can

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: Now if you don't know about you Can, you can

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: eliminate the need to rely on sugary sports fuels during training.

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: It's also nutrition that gives you the steady energy you

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: need to perform and aligns with your health and fitness goals.

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,399

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: You know, podcasting huge and a lot of us take

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: the opportunity when we're on the run into a podcast.

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: How did you.

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: Guys all get started? Can start with you? How did

49
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: you get started? In with your voice?

50
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: For me, podcasting came after my YouTube channel, which I

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 5: don't know, like I'm older now and I feel like

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 5: when I started youtubing, it was not really a thing,

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 5: and then podcasting became a bow and people might All

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 5: the people that I work with at See Tally.

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: Run were like, well, youtubing is kind of.

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: Maybe going away a little bit. Podcast is the next

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 5: big thing. And for me, those of you who know me,

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: I kind of say sorry after I screw up what

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 5: I'm on camera because I feel like I can be

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: a goofball and when I'm on the podcast is a

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 5: little different because it's like the radio voice.

62
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 6: Right.

63
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 7: So it was a.

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: Scary thing for me to get into podcasting, but it

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 5: was fun, it was new, it was fresh, and to

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 5: be honest, I have loved having a little bit longer

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 5: conversation with my guest on the show. And so it's

68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 5: really become something that's fueled me each week and hopefully

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 5: fuels a lot of you and some of the listeners

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 5: that tune in.

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: To see Tali run each week. But I just think the.

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 5: Inspiration of hearing everyone's journey, whether you're an Olympic athlete

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 5: like I am, or you are somebody that's just learning

74
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 5: how to run a five k or just not even

75
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: a runner yet just learning how to be you know,

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 5: motivated to get after it, which is my favorite saying.

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: So a long story short, it's kind of started.

78
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: You know, around and about and all the way around

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: and whatever you say. But it's been a great journey

80
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,559
Speaker 5: and I've loved everyone.

81
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: And even.

82
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 7: Well for me.

83
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 8: It's interesting you mentioned about the video because I actually

84
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 8: started with I was working for a company called Runners Connect,

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 8: which some of you may have heard of. They had

86
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 8: a podcast that was pretty much dying of death. It

87
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 8: was really on its way out, and my boss said

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 8: to me, you can either start a video channel or

89
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 8: you can start a podcast.

90
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 7: And I had no clue what a.

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 8: Podcast was, but I knew that I'm not really kind

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 8: of the put together video type, so I opted for that.

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 7: Really started to enjoy it.

94
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 8: Although my first interview was Dave mcgillibray, which those of

95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 8: you know who know of him the race director for

96
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 8: the Boston Marathon. Pretty you know, high up person to

97
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 8: start with. I was so nervous. There was echoing the

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 8: entire way round. I can't even listen to it now

99
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 8: because it was so terrible. But you know, hopefully a

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 8: progressed from there. Ended up starting my own podcast when

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 8: I left und Connect and similar to say Carrie, I

102
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 8: just really enjoy learning from people and it's interesting. This morning,

103
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 8: I was talking to someone who was asking me about

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 8: what else do you like besides running? And I was like,

105
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 8: you know what, I do like running, but actually that's

106
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 8: probably pretty like low down on my list of things

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 8: that I love because I the podcast for me is

108
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 8: about actually getting to know the people underneath the runner,

109
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 8: not so much the running itself.

110
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: So yeah, I guess.

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 9: Back in two thousand and nine, my husband and co

112
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 9: host Trevor mentioned that he wanted to start a website

113
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 9: and a podcast, and my first question was what is

114
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 9: a podcast? I had no idea, And the second one

115
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 9: question I had for him was who's going to want

116
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 9: to listen to us? You know, I'm just a normal

117
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 9: everyday mom. I had run a couple of marathons. By then,

118
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 9: my husband wasn't even a runner, so I was like,

119
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 9: this is not going to work because no one wants

120
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 9: to hear me talk the whole time.

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 6: How can you do a running podcast if you're not

122
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 6: a runner.

123
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 9: So that was kind of the impetus for him to

124
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 9: start his running journey, and we kicked off early twenty ten,

125
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 9: so we're kind of old in podcasting years, but the

126
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 9: show has just really been inspiring for us because we've

127
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 9: been able to meet so many great guests, just talk

128
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 9: to everyday runners. That's one of our favorite parts is

129
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 9: getting to.

130
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 6: Interact with the listeners.

131
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 9: And like Tina was saying, our first guess of importance,

132
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 9: you know that was kind of big in the running world.

133
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: Was Bart Yeah.

134
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 6: So, and our audio and our connection was terrible. Kept

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 6: dropping the call.

136
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 10: I think they had to call him back like three times.

137
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 9: Of course, he's the most gracious person in the world

138
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 9: if you've ever had the chance to say hi to

139
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 9: Bart So, you know, after that inglorious start, we've been

140
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 9: doing it for a few years and definitely just being

141
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 9: able to have such amazing listeners is our favorite part.

142
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 9: And our tagline is you have what it takes to

143
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 9: run a marathon and change your life.

144
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: And people think it's.

145
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 9: Corny it first sometimes, but it sticks in your head

146
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 9: and I think anyone who's run a marathon can attests

147
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 9: of the life changing power that it has.

148
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 8: I just quickly jump in and say Angreen and Trevor

149
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 8: have had eight million downloads, which is just insane. I

150
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 8: just want to tell them up bettee, what is to

151
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 8: say it themselves?

152
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't have eight million doubloads either? Do I two

153
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: years young this December? Do I have any hurdlers in

154
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: the room? Any Hurdle pod? Yes, high hurdlers. Thanks for

155
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: coming again. My name is Emily Body. I if you

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: don't know the premise of Hurdle. Hurdle is a podcast

157
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: that talks to everyone from entrepreneurs to top CEOs about

158
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: how they got through tough times in their lives hurdles

159
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: of sorts by leaning into wellness. So a little deviation

160
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: from you, ladies, and that I feel like I'm a

161
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: little all encompassing of wellness and fitness, maybe a little

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: bit more as a whole.

163
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: With that said, I had my own hurdle.

164
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: Moment, as I like to refer to them, when I

165
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: was in college, I stepped on a scale, saw a

166
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: number that was very high for me at two hundred

167
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: and four pounds standing at five foot four, and knew

168
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: that I.

169
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: Needed to do something about it.

170
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: And it wasn't.

171
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Until I started eating better and found a love for

172
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: running that I started to believe in myself and then

173
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: over time that seventy pound week loss came off. And

174
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: so inspired by my own hurdle moment, inspired by some

175
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: of the personal things that I was going through.

176
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: In my life, I decided to start connecting.

177
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: With other people and talk to these people that inspire

178
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: me about their journeys and how despite what you do,

179
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: whether you are Sadie Lincoln and you created Bar three,

180
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: or if your Dina Castor and your Dina Castor, that

181
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: we all have had times in our lives where I

182
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: don't want to swear I almost just did, where things

183
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: have gone wrong and we have leaned into wellness to.

184
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: Get through it.

185
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: So I'm so thankful again, I mean, on the Dina note,

186
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: we sat down together at a hotel in London. I've

187
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: recorded this everywhere from London to the Santa Monica streets

188
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: to Miami. So I'm so grateful for this journey and

189
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: where it's brought me, and I'm really excited to be

190
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: here with all of you tonight. So thanks so much

191
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: for having me.

192
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna step out of the way because we've

193
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: got a whole bunch of expertise in this room. Thank

194
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: y'all for sharing how you got into podcasting in a

195
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: little bit of your background. I'm just gonna step out

196
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: of the way and let you guys take it over, all.

197
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: Right, barn.

198
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: So, since we're here for the New York City Marathon,

199
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 5: we have a little bit of different stuff.

200
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 8: One on.

201
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 5: None of us are racing, but I want to hear

202
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: from all of you why twenty six point two. I mean,

203
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: we've kind of heard you out your start to this

204
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 5: whole running thing, but why did you guys pick the

205
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 5: marathon and tell us maybe the inspiration behind it.

206
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 8: I can't really see how I saw when I was

207
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 8: running as an lait erner, how that could have not

208
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 8: been where I ended up being someone who was a

209
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 8: distance runner in college. And I did come over here

210
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 8: to the US to be to do my university, so

211
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 8: I was very much ingrained in the American system. It

212
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 8: just kind of was where you and up. I mean,

213
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 8: don't I look back now. And there are some people

214
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 8: who just do half marathons or go back to ten

215
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 8: k's and stay with that. But for me, I felt

216
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 8: like I didn't really have a choice, but I also

217
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 8: wanted to. I loved the idea of you know, I

218
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 8: always loved my long runs. I always quite enjoyed in college.

219
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 8: I would set off when we would drive vans to

220
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 8: where we were doing our long runs. I would get

221
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 8: out of the van and go so I could get

222
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 8: ahead of the guys, and then I would make it

223
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 8: a challenge to see how long I could go before

224
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 8: they caught me up. And I used to be able

225
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 8: to make it till about thirteen miles before they caught

226
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 8: me up.

227
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 7: So I actually was really proud.

228
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 8: Of that, and so that kind of led into me thinking,

229
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 8: I think I'm going to enjoy this marathon thing.

230
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 9: I had just moved across the country and had a

231
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 9: couple of small kids at home, and I was kind

232
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 9: of feeling, honestly a little bit depressed and not sure

233
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 9: what the next stage of my life was going to

234
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 9: look like. And I actually needed more time to think.

235
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 9: So with the little kids, they asked you a million questions,

236
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 9: and I had done a couple of five k's at

237
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 9: the time and really kind of enjoyed the challenge. I

238
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 9: really didn't consider myself to be an athlete at the time.

239
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 9: I didn't really do any sports growing up, but running

240
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 9: was something that was personally challenging and I could get

241
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 9: out there and just let my thoughts go, solve problems

242
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 9: in my head whatever. And somehow the idea of doing

243
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 9: a marathon just kind of stuck in my head. And

244
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 9: at the time, I didn't have any friends who were runners.

245
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 9: I didn't know anyone who'd ever done a marathon, and

246
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 9: maybe that's why I was so appealing. It was kind

247
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 9: of like my thing. And so I signed up for

248
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 9: the race and bought a pair of running shoes and

249
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 9: then proceeded to do pretty much everything wrong, you know,

250
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 9: from fueling to long runs to training. It was there

251
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 9: was a lot of messiness in it, but I got

252
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 9: through it and crossed that first finish line and it

253
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 9: was painful, but it was amazing, and I knew that,

254
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 9: you know, I would do another one.

255
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 10: So sixty one marathons.

256
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 6: Later, I'm still at it. Something stuck. Apparently, it's life changing.

257
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: How many first time marathoners this weekend we have in here.

258
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: I never wanted to be you ever, not at sixty one,

259
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: but an eight time marathoner as of Chicago.

260
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: I grew up weight cycling.

261
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: My entire life.

262
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned the dramatic weight loss in college, and for me,

263
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: running was always something that I dreaded. My brother was

264
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: the track athlete of the family. My sophomore year of

265
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: high school, I didn't make the volleyball team because I

266
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: couldn't run a mile in under ten minutes. So for me,

267
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: running just was not my personal calling. But when I

268
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: started to go on this weight loss journey, what I

269
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: learned was that running was the most attainable thing for

270
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: me to do that didn't require me spending money. You know,

271
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: the barrier to entry and running is quite low. So

272
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: I started every day one summer with what I thought

273
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: was a mile. It was a half mile I as

274
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: you did. At the end of the summer. It took

275
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: me fourteen minutes to run it every single day, But

276
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: it didn't even matter when I realized that, because what

277
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: I had realized was that despite the distance that summer,

278
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: I learned to love running, which was something a girl

279
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: from trouble Conneticut, never thought that she would do. So

280
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: learn to love running. Sign up for that first five k,

281
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: the five k becomes a ten k. And this is

282
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: a familiar story I'm sure for many of you. Before

283
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: I knew it, the Hardford Half Marathon, and then a

284
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: few years after that, after a slew of those Hartford Marathon,

285
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: and so now eight in and I just you know,

286
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I affectionately call the first time I ran the New

287
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: York City Marathon that day as the best day of

288
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: my life. So anyone that's going out there on Sunday,

289
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: just know that you are already so far in this journey.

290
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: You have done so much for yourself.

291
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: And you will always look back on that day, no

292
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: matter what happens, as one.

293
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: Of the best days of your life.

294
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: So for me, marathoning has to say has been life changing.

295
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: Would be an understatement, but it has empowered me.

296
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: To be a better version of myself everywhere I go,

297
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: and I'm just so thankful for it.

298
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 7: That's awesome.

299
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 5: I was on the track, so I ran you saying

300
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 5: you went from five k to ten k to half

301
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: marathons marathon like I went from running twelve and a

302
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 5: half laps on the track to what the heck, let's

303
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 5: just do twenty six point two miles four months to

304
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 5: the day, basically after having my second baby. And for me,

305
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: one of the big reasons why I wanted to do

306
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: the marathon was because I had nothing to compare it to.

307
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: And I don't know about some of you.

308
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: If you're just kind of, you know, going for it

309
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 5: and have never run something in between five k.

310
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 4: And a marathon, I think that's okay too.

311
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 6: It's a long ways further.

312
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 5: Three point one to twenty six point two is it's

313
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 5: a long jump, a big jump. But you know, for me,

314
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 5: it was when I was competing and running so hard

315
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 5: for so long, I needed something that I did not

316
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: have to, you know, look back on the same workout

317
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 5: or what I had done, and I think I had

318
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 5: gotten scared of the.

319
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: Sport after I had my children.

320
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 5: I wanted to come back after Ruby, who's getting some water.

321
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: I wanted to come back after her, But my heart

322
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: wasn't in it anymore. It wasn't in it enough to

323
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 5: train twice a day and to travel and to compete

324
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: while she was at home with my husband, and I

325
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 5: wanted to be home with my kids or my kiddo

326
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 5: and then I had my second baby, and I kind of.

327
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: Was like, okay, maybe going.

328
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: Away with you.

329
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: Okay, I love Everett, but I needed some more time, right,

330
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 5: I needed some time, like Ganjie said, and I was

331
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: doing TV work, but I thought, you know what, I'm

332
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 5: not going to want to travel so much, so why

333
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 5: not stay out on a Saturday morning for two hours

334
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 5: and just go for a two hour run with my friends?

335
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 5: And it was wonderful. It was really fun to tackle something.

336
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: It went horribly wrong, and we can get into that later,

337
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: but it was something that it took me six years

338
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 5: to come back and I finally ran my second one

339
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: this year, so let me just say it took me

340
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 5: a while to go back to it, but it was.

341
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: What you ran. Well, that was my next question.

342
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 5: But I did do my second marathon this year, and

343
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 5: my second question was what inspired you to do your

344
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: last marathon? And for me, I wanted the house record,

345
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: to be honest, Charlie, my husband and two boys are

346
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 5: at the hotel right now, taking a little bit of

347
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 5: a rest because they've been running around all day, the

348
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 5: three of them and Charlie, but I wanted his record.

349
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: I missed it by a minute and that first time around,

350
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: and I got it by eleven minutes this time around,

351
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 5: so it was a fun day. It was the Twin

352
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: Cities Marathon. Anyone ever run in Twin Cities before, It's beautiful.

353
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 5: I ran with a few people today that were from

354
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: New York and they're like, hands down most beautiful course,

355
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 5: just beautiful.

356
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, I did it and it went well.

357
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 5: Didn't train much different, but I did have a four

358
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: month old, so there you go.

359
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 4: That was the time I ran two fifty one fifty six. Yeah,

360
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: it's good. It's fad.

361
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: Tina's the group hype man.

362
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess I am.

363
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: I know.

364
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 5: She's like, tell your stats, but okay, so let's talk

365
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 5: about you guys.

366
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the inspiration behind your last miraca.

367
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 8: Well, my last one was definitely a little bit different

368
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 8: to all my previous ones. The previous ones were definitely

369
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 8: about the results, about you know, when you get to

370
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 8: the next level. It was that typical run of thing

371
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 8: we do. When I get to X level, I'll be happy,

372
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 8: but then you get there and you're like, well, you know,

373
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 8: I want to get to the next sleven. So I

374
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 8: kept doing that, kept chasing Out've actually only run I

375
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 8: think six marathons and not that many. But I don't

376
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 8: know how many of you know this, but I think

377
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 8: quite a.

378
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 7: Few in the room do that.

379
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 8: In twenty sixteen I ran for Great Britain in a

380
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 8: World Championships. I ran my pr later that year two

381
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 8: thirty six in the marathon. So those were all about times,

382
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 8: all about accomplishing things.

383
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 7: And then in.

384
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 8: Early twenty seventeen, I stopped running, wasn't sure I would

385
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 8: ever run again, decided all of a sudden I wanted

386
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 8: to start a family, didn't run a step for three months,

387
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 8: had a child less than a year later.

388
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: Was on my podcast and you know, had told her

389
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 5: whole story about you know, not having her period for

390
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 5: nine years, and like the week later found out she

391
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 5: was pregnant.

392
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, it happened very quick.

393
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 8: It was ten weeks from stopping running to being pregnant

394
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 8: after yet not having a period for nine years. Had

395
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 8: my daughter, and I thought, well, I had two goals.

396
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 8: I wanted to kind of get back to the joy

397
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 8: of running, because towards the end of my running career

398
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 8: it was all about the finish line. I remember being

399
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 8: in January of twenty seventeen and I had my next

400
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 8: race was going to be the Gold Coast in Australia,

401
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 8: and I was like, I can't wait to cross the

402
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 8: finish line in.

403
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 7: July like that.

404
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 8: And you know when you're thinking that in January, that's

405
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 8: pretty sad that, like all you're thinking about is the

406
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 8: finish line, not even the race, the build up to

407
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 8: the race, of the finish line. So I wanted to

408
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 8: find joy. I decided to do the Disney Half Marathon

409
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 8: the following January about one year later, as my kind

410
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 8: of attempt to get my joy back in running. And

411
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 8: I did and so I thought, you know what, I

412
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 8: want to see if I can do it with the marathon,

413
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 8: and was fortunate enough to be allowed into Boston. And

414
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 8: it was hard, Like I forgot how I thought. I

415
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 8: think I thought because I'd run two thirty six, it

416
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 8: would anything slower would just feel easy. Definitely did not.

417
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 8: I ran two fifty eight, which is still fast.

418
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 7: I get that.

419
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 8: But I was working about as hard as I had

420
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 8: in any marathon to run that time. So it was

421
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 8: coming at a completely different way. But for me, it

422
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 8: was just about doing it for myself rather than about

423
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 8: the finish line.

424
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 9: But like some of these ladies have mentioned your goals

425
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 9: kind of turned the snowball as you continue on your

426
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 9: running journey. And so my last marathon was the Norwich

427
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 9: Marathon in Vermont. I'm actually working to run a marathon

428
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 9: in all fifty states, and I'm getting pretty close. That

429
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 9: was state number forty eight and marathon number sixty one,

430
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 9: so we're getting close to.

431
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 7: The finish line.

432
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 9: But it really has been about the joy of the journey.

433
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 9: Maybe in the beginning it kind of was a wild hair.

434
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 6: Like, oh can I do this thing?

435
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: You know?

436
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 6: How am I going to juggle this with three.

437
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 9: Young kids and a busy life and just being able

438
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 9: to be inspired by other people who are able to

439
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 9: manage the training and the traveling. And I think it's

440
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 9: just an amazing way to see different states that I

441
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 9: probably wouldn't go to otherwise and being able to meet

442
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 9: people from those states. So yeah, this last marathon was

443
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 9: extremely hilly.

444
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 6: I think it had three thousand feet of elevation gain.

445
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 9: It was freezing cold, and it rained the entire time,

446
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 9: so my hands got like little ice blocks. You know,

447
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 9: you're trying to fumble with your fuel and get it

448
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 9: in your mouth, but you know, there's still something.

449
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 6: Joyous about it.

450
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 9: There was the beautiful Connecticut foliage, I.

451
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 6: Mean for nott Folige. I was in Connecticut two weeks

452
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: before that for a marathon.

453
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 10: So I'm getting all my states mixed up.

454
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 9: But you know, there's so much beauty around us, and

455
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 9: I think that's one thing about running is.

456
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 10: That you can just look around you and think, it's.

457
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 6: So great to be alive.

458
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 9: It's great to have this strong, healthy body that I

459
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 9: can do things that other people can't do. And I

460
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 9: really try to remind myself that no matter what marathon

461
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 9: I'm running or where I'm at, is that it's a

462
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 9: privilege to be able to do this running thing. You know,

463
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 9: it's not something that's guaranteed, and so really just having

464
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 9: that gratitude, I think is what keeps me going and

465
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 9: keeps me excited about it.

466
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: I can relate to the fumbling with the fuel feeling.

467
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: My last marathon was Chicago, but before that, kind of

468
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: Boston in twenty eighteen, which was the greatest year of

469
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: all time if you know anything about.

470
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 4: This of Boston as of late.

471
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: I just remember being so cold and walking up.

472
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: To some running up to someone on the side at

473
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: one point to ask them if they can put my

474
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: AirPod back in the case because I couldn't do it

475
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: myself and it was dead. And then the second thing

476
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: I asked was I ran up to someone and I said,

477
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: there are gummies in my pocket, can you get me them?

478
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: Like I was incapable of grasping for them. So that

479
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: was That was a fun experience. As I mentioned, my

480
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: last marathon was Chicago. It was a dream as dreamy

481
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: marathons go. I had heard so much about how flat

482
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: the course was, and I decided to run it just

483
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: because it's nice to get out of New York every

484
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: once in a while.

485
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: I'd done New York four times.

486
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: Like I said, I love it, but I was just

487
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: looking for a different challenge, and so I headed to Chicago.

488
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: At first going into my training cycle with not a

489
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of expectations or not really having any big goals.

490
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: But as I did more and more speedwork, I realized

491
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: that I was in a much better place than I'd

492
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: ever been before, maybe aside from Boston.

493
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: I was really good up for Boston.

494
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: But again, so yeah, I went out to Chicago and

495
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: I had an amazing day out there.

496
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 4: I ran a twenty one minute and eight second PR.

497
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: And qualified for Boston, which is something I literally it's

498
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: a sentence I never thought in my life that I

499
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: would actually say out loud.

500
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: So when I ran the.

501
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: Boston previously, I did it with a charity or with

502
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: a corporate sponsor. So it feels really bizarre and empowering

503
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: to say that I earned my spot there and.

504
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: Everyone says, well, you're going to go back, and I

505
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 4: think I.

506
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: Still have a little bit of PTSD, but I'm thinking

507
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: about it and knowing me, I'll probably.

508
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 2: Be back there in twenty twenty one.

509
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 8: Nice, all right, So this is all we've been talking about,

510
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 8: all the good moments, the nice things that happened. But

511
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 8: we all know, all those of you who've done marathons

512
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 8: know marathons are not always wonderful the entire way around.

513
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 8: In fact, if you get one of those, that's kind

514
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 8: of a unicorn and it never happened, that happens maybe

515
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 8: once in a lifetime.

516
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 7: But there were.

517
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 8: Also many really tough moments, moments that you either mentally

518
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 8: give up, you either physically you know, you have to

519
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 8: walk off the course, or something breaks down. So I

520
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 8: would love to hear you know something from each of you.

521
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 8: But maybe Emily, we can start with you this time.

522
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 8: You know, a struggle that you went through in one

523
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 8: of your racism and how you go through it.

524
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: It's funny because I remember in Boston in twenty eighteen,

525
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: the mood in Boston was really glumb and I'll just

526
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: put this out there so we're on the same page. Basically,

527
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: race day was real feel of thirty two. It was

528
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: hailing when I started, The wind gusts were up till

529
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: like fifty miles an hour. A lot of the elites

530
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: dropped out of hypothermia.

531
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 2: It was a rough day. It was a really rough day.

532
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: And the week of the marathon, like I said, the

533
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: vibe in Boston, it was just like everyone was bumped,

534
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: and I think, for my betterment, I went into race

535
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: day and I wasn't mad, Like the reality was when

536
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: I showed up there that day that I could be

537
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: mad and waste energy on that or I could show

538
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: up and accept the circumstances and do the best I could.

539
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: With what I had.

540
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: And so I went into race day knowing that I

541
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: was prepared to run this marathon regardless of what it

542
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: was going to be like out there.

543
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: Despite being very prepared.

544
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: And having a trash bag on me, until like mile twelve.

545
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: I think like everyone out there just looked like the

546
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: walking dead. I got to the hills, and I say

547
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: hills because everyone just talks about Heartbreak Hill, but if

548
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: you know anything about Boston, there's four of them, so

549
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: don't let anyone fool you. And I just remember running

550
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: up the Boston Final Hill just so beside myself, and

551
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: I wanted to cry so bad, but I was just

552
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: incapable of like completely letting go to that amount. But

553
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: never in a marathon have I felt like my legs

554
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: were literally just led and I was drenched, and I

555
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: had thankfully just changed sneakers at one point because I

556
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: had a friend that had extra sneakers for me on

557
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: the side, and and I'm just drenched and everything hurts,

558
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: and in my head, not finishing was never an option.

559
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: It's never, never, never an option. But I just remember so.

560
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Many of the people that I had been pacing with

561
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: up to this point slowly won by one. They were

562
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: all going into a mid tent. They were all ducking out,

563
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: and in my head, I was like, well, if all of.

564
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: These people are ducking out, like am I doing something wrong?

565
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: But not finishing was never an option, So that was

566
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: quite the mental battle to get through.

567
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: And again, like I said.

568
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean I went into it with a really great

569
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: attitude and I walked out of that race with a

570
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: four oh one, which for me having a pr a

571
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: three twenty eight and aside from that three twenty eight,

572
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: a three forty nine thirteen. So I was so proud

573
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: of that four oh one, and I hung that poster

574
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: very proudly, that Tracksmen poster, which if all of you

575
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: are running, my biggest suggestion for you is to head

576
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: down to the Tracks with pop up on Monday and

577
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: grab a poster with your customized marathon time on it.

578
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: They don't pay me to say these things. I just

579
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 4: think they're the best thing in my apartment.

580
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: But I proudly hung that poster right over my bed

581
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: like the second I could, because I worked my butt off.

582
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: For that four o one.

583
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm so happy with it.

584
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 9: Well, since she talked about cold marathons, I'm gonna talk

585
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 9: about hot marathons because the heat.

586
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: You know, you run sixty one of them, so you've

587
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 5: been through everything.

588
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 9: I've been through a few of each, but the heat

589
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 9: is my personal nemesis. It's like I am a pretty

590
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 9: heavy sweater anyway, and a salty sweater, and I can

591
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 9: just think about heat and start to sweat pretty much,

592
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 9: and my skin loves to chafe, and so you get

593
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 9: the salt and the sweat.

594
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 10: And the heat going, and my skin's like I'm.

595
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 6: Gonna chafe everywhere no matter what you put on me.

596
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 9: So I remember one marathon in particular was the Lincoln

597
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 9: Marathon and Lincoln, Nebraska, and it was one of those.

598
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 6: Spring races where you've kind of trained.

599
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 9: Through the winter, so you have you know, most of

600
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 9: your long runs are in the cold, and then you get.

601
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: A super hot race day and you're like, what do

602
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 6: I do with this?

603
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 9: I've I'm not he acclimated, and it was kind of

604
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 9: like people all around were just kind of like death marching,

605
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 9: and there's maybe people being haul away in ambulances, so

606
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 9: you're thinking this is probably not even that safe, and

607
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 9: aide stations, fortunately.

608
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: They had ice.

609
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 6: I'm sticking ice in my sports brad.

610
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 10: And like rubbing it.

611
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 9: On my head and you know, anything you can think

612
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 9: of to keep cool. And I'm kind of like Emily

613
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 9: and like too stubborn ever to quit, and I you know,

614
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 9: I definitely recommend to people to quit if it becomes

615
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 9: unsafe situation. So I'm a registered nurse, and I would say,

616
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 9: you know, live to run another day for sure. But

617
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 9: you know, for myself, I was like, Okay, I'm uncomfortable,

618
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 9: I'm miserable, but I'm not in any trouble.

619
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 10: Here, and so I just kind of, you know, march

620
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 10: that one in.

621
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 9: And there has been times during several marathons actually that

622
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 9: I've promised myself just cross the finish line and you

623
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 9: never have to do this again. And then of course

624
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 9: she crossed the finish line. You're like, well, that wasn't

625
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 9: so bad, was it.

626
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 6: Maybe you can relay.

627
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 10: I don't know.

628
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: Well, I had a fueling issue and I was lucky

629
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 5: enough in what was that twenty thirteen to kind of

630
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: connect with Barn and say, hey, Varn, I need some product,

631
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 5: or he maybe said Carrie, you need product. But I

632
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: was feeding a baby right before this marathon, and I

633
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 5: was feeding the baby during the marathon whatever if you

634
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 5: want to say that. My body was going through all

635
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 5: kinds of gyrations. And I did media work the morning

636
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 5: of the marathon, so it's like I had to be

637
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: at the start line at five am or something. And

638
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: for the guys in the room. Sorry, but most of

639
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 5: you probably have kids, So here we go. I pumped

640
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 5: at about seven am and I took I had a

641
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 5: peanut butter and jelly full on sandwich at like five

642
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: point thirty or something like that. But by the time

643
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 5: I got to twenty miles, I was waving to the crowd.

644
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: I was taken it all in, and I forgot to have.

645
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 5: Most of my genucamp, so I was kind of like,

646
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 5: you know, just taking it all in, like I said,

647
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: and not really paying attention to my feeling. Well, I

648
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 5: got to twenty and I think it's a mile nineteen.

649
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: In Minnesota, they have this big blow up wall and

650
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: it's terrible. It's not nice to say that, but now

651
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: that I've run it a couple of times, I think

652
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 5: it's more so you get fired up to finish, you know.

653
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 5: But at that time I was pissed. I was like,

654
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: why do they have this blow of wall? Like that's terrible.

655
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 5: And I got to the hills because that's where our

656
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 5: hills start, and everything started to go wrong. I went

657
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: from running six twenty six thirty pace to seven twenty

658
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: to an eight fifteen to a nine forty five to

659
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 5: you know, and I just kept going and I was walking,

660
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 5: which my husband informed me that most people walk, but

661
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 5: as an Olympic athlete, I thought, wall, I can't walk right.

662
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 5: So I went through everything. I did it all wrong

663
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 5: that day and I got to the finish line, I

664
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 5: realized I hadn't taken all my genucamp. I hadn't taken

665
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 5: the goose or whatever they were at the time.

666
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 7: I had some some like chomps.

667
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 4: I don't even know what I was.

668
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 5: Taking, and I took had hadn't done anything. So for

669
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 5: those of you who are running, I tell you that

670
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 5: story because you need to stick with the feeling.

671
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: That you've done.

672
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 5: And if you haven't fueled, well, make sure you do

673
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: something tomorrow because you know, the longer it goes, the more.

674
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: You really rely on what you did early on.

675
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 5: And for me, this.

676
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: Product is just GONN lifesaver because.

677
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 5: Not only was I feeding that baby and I could

678
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 5: continue to feed the baby after.

679
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 4: But it fueled me throughout.

680
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: Now the last six years, I've really learned to to

681
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: run properly, and I think that's why I had an

682
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 5: eleventh minute pr to be honest, not because like I said,

683
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 5: the training was so different, but because of the feeling, well,

684
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 5: that's always good to hear.

685
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 4: I know, right there we go, but it was it's

686
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: the truth.

687
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh I know it. I'm reely.

688
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 8: I just want to share mine quickly as well. So

689
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 8: in my first marathon and Philadelphia Marathon twenty thirteen, I

690
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 8: think my husband, who was also my coach, had said

691
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 8: to me, right, you need to This isn't like any

692
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 8: other race.

693
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 7: You can't just go out and hold on.

694
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 8: It doesn't work like that. I need you to go

695
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 8: through thirteen controlled.

696
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: So I did.

697
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 8: I stuck to what I was supposed to be doing,

698
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 8: was having a conversation with someone.

699
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 7: But I got to thirteen and.

700
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 8: I was like, right, go time, So I took off,

701
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 8: picked up the pace, stopped fueling my last drink at

702
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 8: mile fifteen and miles sixteen had the arrogance to think, I've.

703
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 7: Only got ten miles left.

704
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 5: That's not that bad.

705
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 7: Mile nineteen.

706
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 8: I felt like someone squeezed all the air out of

707
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 8: my lungs and I.

708
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 7: Suddenly couldn't see. I couldn't think.

709
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 8: I had one good mile, which of course happened to

710
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 8: be the mile I ran past my husband and he.

711
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 7: Was like, this, what's coming on?

712
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 8: Because I was running fine at that point, but then

713
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 8: it came back to bite me. I ended up run

714
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 8: walking the final few miles, couldn't see where I was going,

715
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 8: I barely knew what my name was, but all I

716
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 8: could think about was I'm and again Carrie, and I

717
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 8: coming from I think things have changed a little bit,

718
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 8: but coming from an elite world, I was like, I.

719
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 5: Can't believe I'm walking right now.

720
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 8: But yeah, and so there was me thinking that I

721
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 8: was gonna smash my time and yeah, I ended up

722
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 8: running around nine minutes for my final few miles, and yeah,

723
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 8: it was miserable but definitely taught me some lessons about

724
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 8: multiple things.

725
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 4: For the American Did you think you were seeing Jesus too?

726
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think I totally thought I was working

727
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: on the clouds of heaven, like I had all this

728
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: white going on around, like the blood sugar.

729
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: Was totally gon like not and it was just like

730
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: whites everywhere. It was that.

731
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 8: No, it's not nonexperience I would recommend to anyone. Okay,

732
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 8: So the next thing I want to know from you,

733
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 8: ladies is I think most runners at some point end

734
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 8: up tying their self worth to their running. I mentioned

735
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 8: earlier about me kind of doing that for the finish line.

736
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 8: And we've all kind of had an experience where you

737
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 8: thought something was going to be this amazing experience. You

738
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 8: were like you, you know, were envisioning it and everything

739
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 8: was great, and you just see it in your mind

740
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 8: as going perfectly, and then something goes wrong and it

741
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 8: all comes crashing down. So I would love to hear

742
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 8: I obviously don't want to hear I don't love hearing

743
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 8: the fact that you struggled, but I would love to

744
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 8: hear something that you kind of a moment that happened

745
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 8: to you and how you like forgave yourself for kind

746
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 8: of making that error or letting yourself kind of get

747
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 8: carried away to where your self worth was tied to

748
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 8: that result or that finish.

749
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 6: So and you maybe you can start well.

750
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 9: I can't really think of a specific race, but I

751
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 9: did go through a pretty big health struggle about three

752
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 9: years ago.

753
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 10: My hormones were.

754
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 9: Totally out about I ended up gaining like forty pounds

755
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 9: in one year, which you know, as Emily knows, is

756
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 9: not a good book.

757
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 6: When you're five to four.

758
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 9: And you know your your identity as a running coach,

759
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 9: as a runner is you know, pretty much tied into

760
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 9: your body in a lot of ways. And I really

761
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 9: felt like, number one, I was letting myself down because

762
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 9: somehow I had managed to get.

763
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 6: Myself into this physical condition.

764
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 9: And number two, you know, you have a lot of like,

765
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 9: what are people going to think of me? You know,

766
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 9: here's this running coach telling us to do things, and

767
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 9: you know she looks like that and she can't even

768
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 9: you know, get her act together when it comes to

769
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 9: her fitness. And so it was a real big humbling

770
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 9: experience for me. And I really had to realize that

771
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 9: I am enough no matter what I look like. And

772
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 9: I cannot put my all my identity in my physical appearance.

773
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 9: I can't put it in my running times because obviously

774
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 9: they suffered during that period of time. And I really

775
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 9: just had to step back and think.

776
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 10: About some of my core values. And a couple of

777
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 10: my core.

778
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 6: Values are gratitude and courage.

779
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 9: And I really had to think, how can I apply

780
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 9: this in my daily life? And each person in here

781
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 9: is going to have different ways that they can apply

782
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 9: gratitude and courage. Everyone has their own unique challenges and

783
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 9: their own unique struggles, and so I think if you

784
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 9: think about your values and really kind of dig into

785
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 9: that it's going to help you through those situations where

786
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 9: you kind of feel stuck and you don't really.

787
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 6: You don't really see a good way forward.

788
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 9: And fortunately I was able to start working with a

789
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 9: nutritionist and we will talk about this a little bit

790
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 9: later when we talk about nutrition and fueling, but thankfully

791
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 9: I did come through that really challenging point in my life.

792
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 9: But it's really helped me to have more self knowledge

793
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 9: and realize that, you know, you cannot just have all

794
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 9: your focus beyond physical appearance or you're running times, because

795
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 9: you know, the body gets older and at some point

796
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 9: you don't pr anymore, and just to be really great

797
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 9: for the physical shape that you do have, whatever it

798
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 9: is right now, just be grateful that your legs can

799
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 9: carry you forward.

800
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 10: And so I guess that's one thing that I've kind

801
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 10: of learned through.

802
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 4: Going through that.

803
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, when I was younger, I had this

804
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: interesting relationship with running, but also specifically the mile, having

805
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: not made the JV team my sophomore year in high

806
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: school because I couldn't do it in under ten minutes.

807
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: When I was growing up and overweight, my brother, the

808
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: track athlete, would always joke and he'd say when I

809
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: would bother him, he'd say, go run a mile, knowing

810
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: that I couldn't do it well. So, as many of

811
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: you know are all around the United States and obviously

812
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: internationally as well.

813
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 4: Now, mile races are are the move.

814
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: They're the thing that people love to do, and I

815
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: myself felt very empowered to run one as well. So

816
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: earlier this summer I signed up for the Brooklyn Mile,

817
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: and I was very open and excited about my training

818
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: for this as someone who was at the time I'm

819
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: a seven time marathon er, the mile still felt scary

820
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: because it wasn't just okay, can you go out and

821
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: run a mile? It was okay, how fast can you

822
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: go out and run a mile? So from the get go,

823
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: with the help of an amazing coach in New York

824
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: City named Steve Finley, we geared up for me to

825
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: do it as fast as possible and.

826
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 4: My impossible, crazy goal.

827
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: Was six minutes, and so I trained really hard for that.

828
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned it, it definitely has paid off

829
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: in the long term with all of the progress that

830
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: has helped me achieve with the marathon.

831
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean by running faster.

832
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: More frequently, I was seeing speeds and easier speeds.

833
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: Than ever before, So super thankful for that.

834
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: But I was very open and honest about that six

835
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: minute goal and ended up going out to Kent Avenue

836
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: in Williamsburg and running a six oh seven. And that

837
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: was really challenging for me to accept after the fact,

838
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: because I felt embarrassed.

839
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: I felt like it was something.

840
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 4: That I should have.

841
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: Been able to do and I just didn't pull it.

842
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 4: Out that day.

843
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: And so it took a little, you know, a couple

844
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: of days to get over myself and a couple of

845
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: good pep talks with some friends and a couple of

846
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: good glasses of red Gurollo. But once that happened, I

847
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: really realized that, you know, every failure, obviously it happens

848
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: to teach us something, and so it was.

849
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 2: It was great.

850
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: Actually, later in the summer again in New York, there's

851
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: the Fifth Avenue mile, as many of you know about,

852
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: and so I went out for the Fifth Avenue mile

853
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: the day after a twenty mile or long run or

854
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: a long training run. And I went out there that

855
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: day and in my head, I was just like, you know, what,

856
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: whatever happens here, like it's all good, Like this is

857
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: not the point.

858
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: The point is not to do a slub six on.

859
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: Fifth Avenue today, and I didn't.

860
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: I did a six o nine, But the fact that

861
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: I went out there, I ran a six o nine.

862
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: The day after going out and running twenty miles, I

863
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: was like, well, you'll learn something and you're ready to

864
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: take on whatever the next challenge is that comes your way.

865
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: So again, all these things, all these failures, all there's

866
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: these struggles, they're happening to teach just something.

867
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 4: They're happening to help us grow some grit.

868
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: And I can certainly say that I'm very proud of

869
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: that six oh seven, and that's six oh nine and.

870
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 4: All the other numbers in between. I would have to say,

871
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 4: I think the big thing that I've learned from this sport,

872
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 4: which is everything. I mean, I've learned everything from the sport.

873
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: I've grown up in it.

874
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 5: It's become my career now after my running career, and

875
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 5: you know, obviously I'm trying to teach my kids not

876
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 5: necessarily they have to run, that we can learn from it.

877
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 5: But I would have to say coming back from injuries

878
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 5: was probably the hardest thing and the big thing for

879
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 5: me and all of us will experience injuries. Right, maybe

880
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 5: not all of us are going to have to run

881
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 5: the mile on national television and show.

882
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 4: Everyone that you are not as fit as you once were.

883
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 5: But I can remember doing that in Arkansas, running the

884
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: mile and being like ten seconds slower than I was

885
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 5: the year before, and knowing everyone that was interested in

886
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 5: the sport was going to watch and see me not

887
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 5: where I should not, where I was, not where.

888
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 4: I should be. And experiencing that in front of everyone.

889
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 5: Has been a really good life lesson for me that

890
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 5: we can put ourselves out there even if we're not

891
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 5: one hundred percent, and we can learn from it and

892
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: we can fight back from it.

893
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 4: And it's been a struggle.

894
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 5: You know, when you are an elite athlete and this

895
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 5: is what you've lived and you know, grown up doing,

896
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 5: it's hard to move on from it. And I'm there

897
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 5: in this point now where I do broadcast and I

898
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 5: do speaking and everything is still revolved around running but

899
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 5: getting slower by the second.

900
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: And it still is my identity. So towing the line.

901
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 5: Is still kind of scary because there's still a little

902
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 5: bit of expectation. Even when I ran my two fifty

903
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 5: one then people were already like, are you going to

904
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 5: try and run the trials, like are you going to

905
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 5: do this and that? And I'm like, if you saw

906
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 5: my training, there's no way I should try to run

907
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 5: the trials. I'm trying to just get out the door.

908
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 5: But I think the big thing that we all have

909
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 5: to keep in mind is even though we have had failures,

910
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 5: we always come back stronger because of it.

911
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 4: And I think.

912
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 5: We're all really lucky and ahead of the game because

913
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 5: we have the run to kind of smooth it all

914
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 5: over again.

915
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 4: So pretty thankful for it.

916
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 9: Oh sure, we've been talking a bit about challenges, and

917
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 9: one big challenge for people can be nutrition and fueling

918
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 9: in particular. And I'm sure all of us will agree

919
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 9: that there's no one size fits all fueling or nutrition strategy.

920
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 6: That's going to work for everyone.

921
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 9: And what worked for you two years ago, you know,

922
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 9: might not work for you in two years.

923
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 6: So it's kind of one of those things that's always

924
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 6: in flux.

925
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 9: I've been really fortunate to be using Generation you Can

926
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 9: products since twenty thirteen, and I started using them.

927
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 6: Not in the way I recommend it to people. I

928
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 6: did not practice with it at all.

929
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 9: I had a total disaster with my fueling you know,

930
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 9: couldn't take.

931
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 10: Gels anymore, was getting really sick, and so I.

932
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 9: Just thought, what the heck, it couldn't be any worse

933
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 9: than it is. I'm going to use it for this marathon.

934
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 9: And it went perfectly. So I feel really grateful that

935
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 9: that's been one predictable thing I've been able to count

936
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 9: on for so many years and so many marathons.

937
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 6: But let's talk a little bit about nutrition.

938
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 9: And the first thing to start out with is are

939
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 9: there any changes in your daily nutrition patterns when you're

940
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 9: in marathon training, Because a lot of people are not

941
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,959
Speaker 9: in marathon training, you know, twelve months of the year.

942
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 10: So Emily, you want to start going on.

943
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: A pizza Fridays every Friday, like, without fail, I'll go

944
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: and get two, even though most Fridays I think I

945
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: should only get one. But I go to the pizza

946
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: spot I'm a New Yorker, around the.

947
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 4: Corner, I grab two slices.

948
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: I go home. I have it with a nice big

949
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: glass of red It's the best thing.

950
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: But in addition to that, I mean, for me, it's

951
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 4: always funny.

952
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: I run with a great group on Thursday mornings, and

953
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: all of the men in the group are like.

954
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: I can't eat enough.

955
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm struggling to eat enough to get all the calories

956
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: I need. My body is just a fat burning machine.

957
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: And I've lost twenty pound and I walk into wrong

958
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: club and I'm like, I've gained twelve pounds. I don't

959
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: have this problem at all, and I'm just constantly hungry.

960
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: So I think the difference for me during a marathon

961
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: training cycle is.

962
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 4: I'm actually just trying to fuel.

963
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: My body with whole, great foods more so than usual.

964
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm definitely cognizant of what I'm eating on

965
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: the regular, but I think for me when it comes

966
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: to marathon season, it's just really about getting all of

967
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: the basics. And you know, like, am I starting my

968
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: day off with my Athletic Greens which I shake up

969
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: every single day because it has twelve servings of fruits

970
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: and vegetables that is like my one hundred percent go to?

971
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 4: Then?

972
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: Am I having like whole grains with every meal? Am

973
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: I getting in more vegetables throughout the day? Is their

974
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: protein around? Like just really being mindful of what I'm

975
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: putting into my body because I know, for me, just

976
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: that extra step, that extra cautious attentiveness really goes the

977
00:44:59,120 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: extra distance.

978
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 8: Well for me, I guess I've kind of gone I

979
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 8: don't want to say the opposite way. But when I

980
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 8: first started marathoning, I was kind of eating whatever whatever

981
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,439
Speaker 8: it could to be enough. And then as I transitioned

982
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 8: kind of through the elite world over the years, I

983
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 8: became more and more controlling with what I was eating, which, obviously,

984
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 8: now I look back, makes sense. As I said, not

985
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 8: having a period for nine years not eating enough clearly

986
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 8: correlates there. But I started to get more and more controlling,

987
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 8: to the point to where my final marathon that I

988
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 8: did before I stopped was you know, I would I

989
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 8: was controlling everything. When I was in England with my parents,

990
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 8: we had to go to the restaurant I chose so

991
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 8: that I knew I could get healthy food.

992
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 7: I wouldn't. I still was totally addicted to sweets.

993
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 8: I had such a sweet tooth, and I know now

994
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 8: that was my I still have a sweet tooth, but

995
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 8: it was it was like a like.

996
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 7: A nicotine addiction kind of sweet tooth.

997
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 8: And I know now that was obviously my body like

998
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 8: screaming at me to give it more. But I'd become

999
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 8: to the point where I was only eating you know,

1000
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 8: basically a whole thirty diet for those of you who

1001
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 8: know what that is, but only clean foods. You know,

1002
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 8: when I would go to a place where they would

1003
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 8: be serving like sandwiches.

1004
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 7: Oh no, I'm not eating the bread, how dare you?

1005
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 8: I was just very everything was one hundred percent clean.

1006
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 8: And so when I stopped running, I knew, you know,

1007
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 8: I had to change my relationship with food. I worked

1008
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 8: with a dietitian and that really, you know, made a

1009
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 8: difference with my relationship with food. But then this previous

1010
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 8: marathon in Boston, I kind of went for the opposite.

1011
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 8: I ate what I wanted when I wanted, if that

1012
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 8: was fried chicken, I lived in Kentucky, so there was

1013
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 8: a lot.

1014
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 7: Of it around.

1015
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 8: If that was fried chicken, I had fried chicken. I

1016
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 8: kind of just let myself do what I wanted. I

1017
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 8: was fueling with Generation you Can, and I ran Boston

1018
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 8: one hundred percent only on Generation you Can. And as

1019
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 8: Barrone likes to share, my funny story that I actually

1020
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 8: ended up wearing capris on a seventy degree day because

1021
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 8: I've got my shorts. That's how much I believed in

1022
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 8: you can that. I wasn't daring to go without it,

1023
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 8: but so I still had that and I trusted that

1024
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 8: at least so I knew that the marathon, fueling wise,

1025
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 8: I would be safe. And like Emily, I also use

1026
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 8: athletic greens, so that kind of these two things were

1027
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 8: the any things I really did, and anything else was

1028
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 8: just whatever.

1029
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 5: Whenever you wore those three cord length tights so you

1030
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 5: could have your and in my yes, so I was

1031
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 5: the we laughed, but I was the only sub three

1032
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 5: hour marathon or in the twenties marathon with a belt.

1033
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 4: So I could have my uken.

1034
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 7: We're serious about this, Yeah, we're serious about this.

1035
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 5: This is good stuff, but fueling for me and real

1036
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 5: quicker nutrition for me. You know, I love to eat period,

1037
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 5: Like I know, you're not supposed to say you run

1038
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 5: to eat, but I run so I can eat more.

1039
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 5: And I'm not real specific, I'm not real scientific it.

1040
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 5: I've been lucky that I've been able to run consistently,

1041
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 5: or if I was injured, I had to you know,

1042
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 5: hammer cross training hard because I.

1043
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 4: Was getting paid to run.

1044
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 5: So since I was twelve years old, I haven't really

1045
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 5: fluctuated much.

1046
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 4: You know, I put on forty pounds of babies.

1047
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 5: But you know, I've been consistent and I think for

1048
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 5: me and my body, being consistent has been the key.

1049
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 5: It's not so much about being so specific. But you

1050
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 5: don't see me going a week without a run very

1051
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 5: often unless it's planned in. You don't see me taking

1052
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 5: a week off without going, you know, and doing some

1053
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 5: cross training if I'm hurt.

1054
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 4: It's I think having consistency.

1055
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 5: And if you are going to, you know, make sure

1056
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 5: you worry about weight or whatever.

1057
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 4: I think that's what's helped me. I do eat.

1058
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 5: I'm not one to sit with a bag of chips

1059
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 5: in front of a TV.

1060
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 4: I do have a little milkshake every night.

1061
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 5: I have my my You can't milkshake every every day

1062
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 5: at three pm with my well I want to say

1063
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 5: six years old, six year old son.

1064
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 4: But you know, I think that's been for me. So

1065
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 4: has it been easy?

1066
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: No?

1067
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 5: Not always, But I think I just think about what

1068
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 5: I put into my body and enjoy it because you

1069
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 5: know what, guys, we only have one life to live

1070
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 5: and if we can run and be healthy, then enjoy

1071
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 5: some of the things. And you know what, if it's

1072
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 5: Friday pizza that sounds lovely. For me, it might be

1073
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 5: Tuesday and Friday, but I've been able to do that.

1074
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 4: And I'm a single, thirty something living in New York.

1075
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: It's almost like.

1076
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 4: Every other day.

1077
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and when then if you do have children, it

1078
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 5: becomes mom, can we have breakth or you know, breakfast, lunch,

1079
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 5: and dinner of pizza every single day, So it's hard

1080
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 5: to say no all the time.

1081
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna bring us home. Here with one

1082
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 4: final question.

1083
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 1: Obviously, for many of us these days, social media plays

1084
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: a huge role in how we interact with other people,

1085
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: how we consume information, and how maybe even sometimes we

1086
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: carry ourselves.

1087
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 4: My question for you, ladies is is what.

1088
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: Impact does social media, if any, have on your training?

1089
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 5: You know what?

1090
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 4: For me, it holds me accountable.

1091
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 5: You know, I am busy, I have all these like

1092
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 5: I feel like I have a thousand different jobs.

1093
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 4: And we we were testing out our mics this morning

1094
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 4: or this afternoon day. What time is it, I don't know,

1095
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 4: but what.

1096
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 5: We were talking and I feel like, you know how

1097
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 5: we were all talking at the same time.

1098
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 4: There are four of us talking at the same time.

1099
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 5: And that's what I feel like is in my head

1100
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 5: right now. But you know, I just would have to say.

1101
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 5: Social media for me is accountability. You know when I

1102
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 5: posted every week, you guys saw it. I would post

1103
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 5: my long run every week. Some people would come at

1104
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 5: me and say, why are you posting your time? Like

1105
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 5: are you trying to you know, say you can still

1106
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 5: run fast or whatever, And I would come right back

1107
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 5: at them and say, when I post my seventeen mile

1108
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 5: run last week, and I know I have an eighteen

1109
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 5: miler this week, If I don't post that, I can maybe,

1110
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 5: you know, just sneak away with not getting it in.

1111
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 5: So for me, it's totally accountability. I don't have a

1112
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 5: coach in my ear anymore. I don't have teammates holding

1113
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 5: me accountable to get to actors, So for me, social

1114
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 5: media has been a good way that way, I think for.

1115
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 7: Me it's like permission.

1116
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 8: I think a lot of the time within training, we're

1117
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 8: very much in our own heads, feeling like with the

1118
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,479
Speaker 8: only one struggling with the anyone's having a bad day.

1119
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 7: And so for social media.

1120
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 8: Those of you who know me, I running for real,

1121
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 8: I'm very real, share what I'm thinking, and so being

1122
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 8: able to say these things and getting other people saying yes,

1123
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 8: that is exactly what I feel like, and you know

1124
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 8: I had that day last week. You'll get through it.

1125
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 8: I think for me, it's a lot about having giving

1126
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 8: myself the permission to to not be okay, or to

1127
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 8: struggle with things, or to find things hard. So social

1128
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 8: media for me is just a nice place that I

1129
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 8: can also find other people who are also feeling that way.

1130
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 8: One of the sentences in my intro is about not

1131
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 8: being alone, and I think a lot of that is

1132
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 8: what social media brings.

1133
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 7: It brings to you a place.

1134
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 8: Yes, it can be a highlight reel, but it can

1135
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 8: also be a place where you see that you don't

1136
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 8: be anyone who's.

1137
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 7: Having an odd day.

1138
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think social media can be a great place

1139
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 9: for connection.

1140
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 6: I know we've been able to connect with.

1141
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 9: People all over the world that would never get to

1142
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 9: know I mean, you know, quote unquote know with we're

1143
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 9: not for social media and being able to share in

1144
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 9: the highs and the lows of their training, Like Tina

1145
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 9: was saying, to know that you're not alone. When something

1146
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 9: goes great, there's people to cheer you on, and to

1147
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 9: know when something just falls apart that other.

1148
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 10: People have been through that and they can kind of.

1149
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 6: Help you put yourself back together.

1150
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 9: And I guess I will say that the negative part

1151
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 9: of social media is often we tend to, you know,

1152
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 9: see all of our uncertainties and all of the negatives.

1153
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 9: You know, we kind of tend to judge ourselves pretty harshly.

1154
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 9: And then you can get in the comparison game and

1155
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 9: you see someone else's highlight reel, so you know, you

1156
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 9: can get in that comparison trap, and it's all say,

1157
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 9: you know, if someone something that's not serving you on

1158
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 9: social media, then you know you need to unfollow that.

1159
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 9: Because there's plenty of positivity on social media.

1160
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,720
Speaker 6: There's communities for everyone.

1161
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 9: People who can build you up, and so if you

1162
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 9: feel like you're just getting this vibe that you're not

1163
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 9: good enough, then that's probably.

1164
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 10: Social media that you need to disconnect from.

1165
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 6: So, you know, it could be very good.

1166
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 7: It could be a.

1167
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 9: Tool for really encouraging you and moving you forward, but

1168
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 9: it can also be something that can.

1169
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 2: Hold you back.

1170
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 4: I think it's permission.

1171
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: I think it's accountability, it's all the things that you

1172
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: ladies are saying. I also believe that for me, I

1173
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: had just this one awful long run this year that

1174
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: for some like I had been doing a ton of traveling,

1175
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time alone. I went out on

1176
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 1: the long run alone right when I got back, and

1177
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: it was just downhill from the moment I started, and

1178
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: I remember I finished it and I was just so

1179
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: beside myself crying on a park bench near me. In

1180
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: the next week, when I came back to go back

1181
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: out for the next long run, I U, I said.

1182
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: Before I walked out, I said my Instagram story, I said,

1183
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm about to go out there, and I was like,

1184
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: I really need you guys like this cannot go like

1185
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: it went last week. And so I had the notifications

1186
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: from my dms going to my garment, which is not

1187
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: something I always do, but I turn them on and

1188
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: literally every two minutes for twenty two miles, someone DM

1189
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: me and they told me complete strangers some of them

1190
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: what motivates them to show up when things get hard,

1191
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: And that is what the beauty.

1192
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 2: Of social media is.

1193
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 4: That is the stuff that's.

1194
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: Worth focusing on, right It's just this opportunity to connect

1195
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: with like minded individuals, regardless of where they are, that

1196
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: share a common interest. And for me that day, it

1197
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: was just a complete, complete.

1198
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 4: Game changer for that I'm so thankful. I know we're

1199
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 4: going to wrap up here.

1200
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: First and foremost, I do want to say thank you

1201
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: so much to you can. This has been an awesome

1202
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to sit down here with all of you, and

1203
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: also to all of these wonderful ladies for sharing their insights.

1204
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: I think we're all a little bit better after this,

1205
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: don't you
