1 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Emily and body here you are listening to 2 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: five minute Friday from Hurdle. I. Oh my god, my 3 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: head is in a thousand places I have. Let's see, 4 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: it's Friday. I leave for London next Thursday. I run 5 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: a marathon there next Sunday. I then hopefully am able 6 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: to walk okay as I travel to Paris and enjoy 7 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: Paris for a few days with one of my good friends, 8 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: and then I come home for a night to New York, I. 9 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 2: Fly to Chicago. 10 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: I'll be in Chicago supporting all of you marathonors that 11 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: might be there running. I will be hosting an event 12 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: with Tracksmith. I'll link the vote to that in the 13 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: show notes. But yeah, there's a lot going on, and 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: it is it's finally hitting me. It's it's hitting me. 15 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm running a marathon next week, and I suppose that 16 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: I it hasn't hit me up until this point because 17 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: of what I've been navigating with my body. So because 18 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: what would a London marathon training CYC will be for 19 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: me without a little bit of wonkiness. If you weren't 20 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: a listener last year and you are a hurdler now, firstly, 21 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: thank you, Happy you're here, welcome. But I trained for 22 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: the London Marathon last year and what ended up happening 23 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: was during my final long run, I strained my soas 24 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: and that was so uncomfortable and painful that I had 25 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: to withdraw from the marathon. So for me, this has 26 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: truly been in a redemption training cycle. It's been an 27 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: opportunity for me to finally do this thing, this bucket 28 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: list race that has been on my radar for some time, 29 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: and generally speaking, the training has. 30 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: Been going quite well. 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: Now we are what is this seven eight, nine, ten 32 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: days out, nine days out by the time this comes out, 33 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: and I'm dealing with a little bit of tendonitis in 34 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: my knee really like under my knee my physical therapist 35 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: who you will be hearing from next week on the show. 36 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: And on that note to that effect, if you have 37 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: a specific question that you would like Luke my Pt 38 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: to answer, we are all ears and we want to 39 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: help you. So if you click in the show notes 40 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: it says leave me a voice message, I can guarantee 41 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: you that your question will get answered if you leave 42 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: me a voice message. Again, the opportunity to do that 43 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: is it's right here for you it's in the show notes. 44 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: Now. 45 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: With that said, Luke told me some tennis insertion of 46 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: my it band. 47 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: He is not really concerned. 48 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: But for me, like any level of discomfort makes me 49 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: kind of freak out as normal. And so over the 50 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: last two weeks and over this next week, the goal 51 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent just maintenance. 52 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: I have done all of the training. 53 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: I am in a place right now where I can 54 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: go run a marathon. I am physically capable of doing it. 55 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: But I've never been prepping for a marathon. And instead 56 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: of running something like four or five miles a few 57 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: days a week in a long run, here I am 58 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: taking peloton classes and riding my bike and hitting an 59 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: occasional five k. Now I give you an example of 60 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: what my training has been like, just so you can 61 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: see how it has differed. Not to guide you if 62 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: you are going through some sort of wonkiness, ten to 63 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: eye this injury of your own. This is the plan, 64 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: this is the concept, This is the mission that I 65 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: have been in conversation with my PT and my coach about. 66 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: So this is what's working for me. I feel like 67 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: I'm rambling like a mad person. I'm anxious. I'm anxious, 68 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: and I'm accepting. I am fine, and I'm frustrated, And 69 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: all of this rambling is really to tell you that 70 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: it's okay to be both, whether or not you are 71 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: training for a marathon or you are thinking about how 72 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: to navigate a conversation that you don't want to have 73 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: with someone about how they may have made you feel. 74 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: I may or may may not be talking to myself 75 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: right now. The reality is that it can be two 76 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: things at once. It can feel hard but be possible. 77 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: It can be scary but doable. It can be exciting 78 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 1: but frightening like it can be all of these things right, 79 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: And it's okay that it's both because we can do both. 80 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: I feel like I am. 81 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: Channeling Bretne Brown or Glennon Doyle when I say that 82 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: we can do hard things right. And if anything, this 83 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it an injury. But 84 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: the wonkiness that I am feeling right now is reminding 85 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: me of my main goal going into next week, and 86 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: that main goal is to find the fun to show 87 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: up and begin. What an opportunity it is even to begin, 88 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: especially when I have been in positions before where that 89 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: opportunity has been stripped away. From me, and so I 90 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: have perspective that doesn't necessarily make it always feel easier 91 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: that I am in a place that I didn't hope 92 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: to be in. But with that perspective and understanding comes power, 93 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: and I am here to claim my power going into 94 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: this thing that I've been preparing for for way too 95 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: long now. So yeah, that's where I'm at this week. 96 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: My prompt for you this week is what is both 97 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: in your life? 98 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: And what is the both? 99 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: So, like I said, right now, I am fine, and 100 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: I'm frustrated, I am cautious, but I am capable. What 101 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: are you dealing with right now in your life that 102 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: is both? 103 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: And what's the both? And now a listener question, Emily. 104 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: I'm not sure this is the listener question that you 105 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: are really looking for, but I am going to ask 106 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 3: it anyways. I just discovered your amazing, amazing podcast at. 107 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 4: The beginning of August twenty twenty two, so I am 108 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: keeping current with your latest uploads while also working backwards 109 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 4: to all the amazing content that I have missed. 110 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: So my question is, are their key podcast that I 111 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 3: should make sure I listen to first or just keep 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: up with my current system of staying current while also 113 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: working backwards. Thank you again and I am loving your messages. 114 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: Heather, we love a new hurdler. Welcome, Welcome to the fam. 115 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: I hope that you are in the Secret Hurdler's Facebook group. 116 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: I hope that you are getting the Weekly Hurdle in 117 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: your inbox every Friday. 118 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: And I'm so so happy that you're here. So episode highlights. 119 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: You know, this is a question that I get often 120 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: from anyone when they hear that I'm a podcaster and 121 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: I have the show, They say, where should I start? 122 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: And yes, episode one is a really great place to 123 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: start so that you can get to know me. That 124 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: gives you a good foundation of who you're listening to 125 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: week after week. With that said, choosing favorite guested episodes, 126 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: it's really challenging for me. It's like choosing favorites choosing 127 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: a favorite child. Everyone always says not possible, but admittedly 128 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: a few episodes do come to the forefront when I 129 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: think about some of the ones that I've had a 130 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: lot of fun recording. First and foremost, there is no 131 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: such thing as enough time for a conversation with Nike 132 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: Run Club Global head coach Chris Bennett. If you have 133 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: ever listened to a Nike guided run. You know, Coach 134 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Bennett's awesomeness having him on the show. That episode is 135 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: so full of wisdom and motivation, and it really the 136 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: conversation happened for me at a time that was really 137 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: really impactful. So I would definitely say that is a 138 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: great one to start with, regardless of whether or not 139 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: you identify as a runner. Another episode a favorite of 140 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: mine the live recording I did with Shlene Flanagan last 141 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: year in New York City leading up to the New 142 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: York City Marathon. She was just finishing up her project Eclipse, which, 143 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: for those of you that don't know, Shlene ran and 144 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: all of the six marathon majors within such a short time. 145 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: It was stellar, and I felt so honored that I 146 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: landed that opportunity to talk to her during that moment. 147 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: I adored my conversation with Neka Agumkay. She is a 148 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: WNBA player, such a resilient human and a lot of 149 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: really good takeaways in there. And then perhaps the last 150 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: thing I'll throw into the mix is my Chicago twenty 151 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: nineteen marathon recap. It's an episode that I always to 152 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: this day get a lot of messages about, and it 153 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: was just that day for me was magical. I did 154 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: something that I didn't know I was capable of. And 155 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: when I listened back to that, and sometimes I do 156 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: when I am in a rut or feeling as though 157 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: the world is just not working in my favor as 158 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: we all feel it, sometimes I am reminded of the 159 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: importance of resiliency and going after our big, scary, audacious goal. 160 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm super curious, though, if you have a favorite episode, 161 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: if you want to share that episode on social, tag 162 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: the pod tag me, I'll repost all of your picks. 163 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: I'd love to know what content on the show has 164 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: truly truly resonated with you, and that way, hopefully I 165 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: can make you some more.
