And that is it for now. 30 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to jump right into your questions of this week. 31 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: With that, let's get to Hurdling. 32 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: Hi, Emily, my name is Elle, longtime listener, first time caller. 33 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: I was leaving this message to ask I'm going out 34 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: on my own and starting my own business in about 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: a month, and I was just wondering, I've always worked 36 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: with a ton of coworkers, I've been in person this 37 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: whole pandemic, and this will be my first time working 38 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: by myself. Does it ever get lonely? And how do 39 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: you recommend building a support network around you? Do you 40 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: have like a group of people that you can meet 41 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: with to go over things, a few questions or need 42 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: to bounce ideas off of anyone? Anyway, love the podcast? 43 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: Thanks thanks for the question, Elle, so to answer your question, yes, 44 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: working for yourself can definitely feel lonely at times. I 45 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: at this point have death gotten into a groove of 46 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: sorts where I have learned how to negate those feelings 47 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: the best I can as I go about my day 48 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: to day. So my tips for that is if you 49 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: can try to at least find one to two people 50 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: that you're going to interact with during your work day 51 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: and figure out when that interaction can actually really serve you. 52 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: So for me, I know that I am most productive 53 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: on my own during the morning. I like to get 54 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: my feet under me, feel like I have a hold 55 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: on the day. Then once the afternoon time block comes around, 56 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: I make sure to take my meetings in the afternoon. 57 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: That's what I'm feeling a little less focused, but can 58 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: still give some energy to something, and that energy is 59 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: best spent on others. Also to combat that loneliness, I 60 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: would say take a step back and find the gratitude 61 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: in the idea that working for yourself has perks as 62 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: well as what can be seen to some this loneliness 63 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: as a negative perks being flexibility. I'll never forget. Growing up, 64 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: my father owns his own advertising and marketing company and 65 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: he used to work in the center of town, and 66 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: he was his own boss, and so if there was 67 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: ever something that was going on with me when I 68 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: was a teenager, or if there was a reason that 69 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: I needed him, he was able to be flexible in 70 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: his schedule that maybe someone who reports to someone else 71 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: for a nine to five couldn't be. So take a 72 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: step back, find the gratitude in your new way of working, 73 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: and do some little things for yourself throughout the day 74 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: to stave off this loneliness. Aside from the interacting with 75 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: the other people. That first tip, find little things that 76 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: bring you joy, just you in your space. Maybe that 77 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: is taking a break to write a little bit, or 78 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: perhaps getting up and taking a walk around the block. 79 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: Look for li little bits of sunshine to make the 80 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: day a little less lonely and feel a little bit 81 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: more joyous. 82 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, My question is if you had to choose 83 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 3: one common nutrition myth to just eradicate somehow, which myth 84 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: would you choose and why thanks. 85 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: A nutrition myth? Hmm, this is a good question. I 86 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: would say that the biggest thing that we are like 87 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: preached growing up at times is that carbs are quote 88 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: unquote bad carbs are not bad. In fact, it is 89 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: essential that you get carbohydrates, especially if you are an 90 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: active person, but if you're a person in general, carbohydrates 91 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: are an important building block to a good nutrition plan. 92 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: Carbs stimulate what's called muscle protein synthesis, which is just 93 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: so important, so so important to improve recovery and then 94 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: in turn enhance the performance during your next workout. Now 95 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: rule of thumb here, it is super important. You don't 96 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: want to push it further than two hours after your 97 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: workout to get in some of that essential post sweat nutrition, 98 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: and if you get in the carbs during that window, 99 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: then your body will be better off in the recovery phase. 100 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: Hi, Emily, it's Sasha. 101 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: I live in Brooklyn. 102 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 5: I look forward to your podcast every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 103 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 5: Totally motivates me and gets me through the day. I'm 104 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 5: totally looking forward to you moving to Brooklyn and hopefully 105 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 5: seeing you run in Prospect Park. My question is how 106 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 5: did you train for your first marathon, not only physically 107 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 5: but mentally, because I definitely don't have much running experience, 108 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: but I'm looking forward to accomplishing that goal soon. 109 00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: Let me know. 110 00:06:59,480 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 5: Thanks. 111 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: Really good question. So my marathon training strategy has completely 112 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: changed from the time I ran my first marathon full 113 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: marathon nine marathons ago to leading up to the virtual 114 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: New York Marathon that I ran at the end of 115 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And so how it has changed is during 116 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: the first training cycle ever, I was in college, had 117 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: a very different lifestyle, but I was literally just following 118 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: a plan that I found on the internet. I'm sure 119 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: y'all have heard of this guy before, good old Hal Higden. 120 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: That is what I followed. So in the plan that 121 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: I followed, which was completely for beginners, I believe it 122 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: was a sixteen week plan and I did not diversify 123 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: the type of running that I was doing whatsoever, So 124 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: it was super basic. I believe it would have a 125 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: week that looked like run four miles, run six miles, 126 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: run four miles, take a day off, do a long run, 127 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: run again like it wasn't anything super snazzy here. Now, 128 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: as the time has gone on, I have integrated a 129 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: lot of different types of running into my regular routine, 130 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: and I've talked about the different types of running on 131 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: the show before. A link to that episode in the 132 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: show notes. What I want to say here is that 133 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: you've got to find the right plan that works for you, 134 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: and if you have the means, I would highly suggest 135 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: that you reach out to a coach on a one 136 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: on one basis to get a better idea of what 137 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: that could look like. Even if this coach just gives 138 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: you a plan and you don't work with them through 139 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: the extent of your training journey, perhaps they can recommend 140 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: a plan that fits where you are at with your 141 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: body right now. Whatever the case may be, that extra 142 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: insight is going to be super valuable for you as 143 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: you're about to take your body through a really intense process. 144 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: On the mental side of things, I mean goodness, my 145 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: mindset toward marathoning and running has changed so much, large 146 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: in part because of the takeaways that I've had from 147 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: doing these crazy events. Right when I went into my 148 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: first marathon, I truly didn't know what to expect. But 149 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: that process and then the marathons subsequent to that, each 150 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: of them came with all of their own individual lessons 151 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: and moments that I take with me now on each 152 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: and every run. I would encourage you, from the mental 153 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: pep talk side of things to certainly have a few 154 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: different mantras or things that you say to yourself when 155 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: the going gets hard, so that you can lean into 156 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: those sayings and push yourself when things are just not 157 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: feeling super stellar. And know this, whether you are a 158 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: total beginner or a veteran runner, you are going to 159 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: have moments where you wonder, for just a second, like 160 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: am I doing this? Am I doing this well? Is 161 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: this okay? Is this enough? We've all been there. Having 162 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: these mantras, having these reinforcing things that you say to 163 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: yourself will make a world of difference when that little 164 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: voice pops into your head. Taking a break from today's 165 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: episode to talk to you about my sponsor at Element. 166 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. I have been running for over ten 167 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: years now, let's say thirteen years, and during this journey 168 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: of running, I have tried so many different types of 169 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: electrolyte beverages. I can say without a doubt that Element 170 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: is one of my all time favorites. I am a 171 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: seriously salty sweater. Basically, this means that it is super 172 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: important for all of us, but specifically for me, to 173 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: make sure that I am consuming electrolytes when I am 174 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: on the move.

And my question is is, 191 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 6: after you have gone through a hurdle and you learn, 192 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 6: you know, some kind of lesson or something to keep 193 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 6: you going, what is your best advice on keeping that 194 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 6: lesson and keeping that hurdle in the forefront of your 195 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 6: mind so that it's not just a one and done lesson, 196 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 6: but something that is really advising how you continue going 197 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 6: through life, so you don't really find yourself going through 198 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 6: the same problem. 199 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: Or the same hurdle. 200 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 7: Again. 201 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: Would love to hear your insight. 202 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 6: Thank you. 203 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: So, the funny thing about life is that we can 204 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: go through these tough hurdle moments and learn lessons from them, 205 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: but there are so many things that are just completely 206 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: uncontrollable that all we can do is the best we 207 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: can with what we have. So you can learn from 208 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: a hurdle, like you can learn from getting let go 209 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: from your job, but those learnings may not guarantee that 210 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna not ever get let go from a job ever. Again, 211 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: what they will do, however, is help you navigate if 212 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: you were to hit a similar hurdle going forward. So, 213 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the job layoff example is a great example 214 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: because that happened to me twice, and the first time 215 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: I got let go from my job it was I mean, 216 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: both times were devastating, but the first time was especially 217 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: devastating because I was a I think I was twenty 218 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: five at the time. Maybe I was twenty five. I 219 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: had just moved into an apartment on my own, and 220 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: I had no clue what I was supposed to do. 221 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: I needed to make money, I needed to figure it out, 222 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: and so I just started throwing, like the spaghetti analogy 223 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: spaghetti at the wall and hoping different things would stick. 224 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: And then five or six days later I ended up 225 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: at Self magazine as their fitness editor. Fast forward then 226 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: a year later, when Self folded and I found myself 227 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: let go again, I was able to calmly approach a 228 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: similar hurdle with the lessons that I had from the 229 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: first go around, understanding and not getting as or scared 230 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: or wrapped up or let my anxiety flare as much, 231 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: knowing that I conquered it once and I was going 232 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: to figure out how to do it again. Now this 233 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that all of the same strategies are going 234 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: to work time after time for every hurdle that you approach. 235 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: But what this means is that you know that you 236 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: have the tools now to be in control of how 237 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: you react to an unpredictable circumstance. So reach for that. 238 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: Be proud of you knowing that, yes, you can do 239 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: hard things. And that you got through them the last 240 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: time and you'll get through them this time as well. 241 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: Hi, Emily, I hope you're having a great day. My 242 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 4: question is, would you describe your career journey thus far 243 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 4: as linear or non linear? And what advice would you 244 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 4: give to someone who's a liberal arts major who's currently 245 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 4: on a non linear career path. Thank you so much. 246 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because at first I was about 247 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: to say that my career path has been non linear. 248 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: But I truly do feel as though every single thing 249 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: that I have done in my career has empowered me 250 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: to get to where I am today, and a lot 251 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: of it has built off of one another. So while 252 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: I started as an editorial intern out of college, I 253 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: moved to be an associate editor. I then transitioned to 254 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: be an assistant editor, and an associate editor, I moved 255 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: up to being a regular editor, and then, as I 256 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: said before, I was an editor itself. But here now 257 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: a podcaster, my own boss. I never expected that this 258 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: would be, you know, the next step in the step ladder, 259 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: so to speak. But so many of the tools that 260 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: I learned and the skills that I acquire during all 261 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: of those years working for someone else. They empower me 262 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: to show up every day and work for myself even better. 263 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: I would say that even if you're jumping from one 264 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: industry to the next, you're taking the lessons that you've 265 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: learned in each job so that you can show up 266 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: and be better as time goes on. My advice if 267 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: you're not in a conventional linear career path would be 268 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: just to believe in you and don't be afraid to 269 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: ask questions. That is so so important. Sometimes we've got 270 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: to put our ego aside to be able to do 271 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: a better job. There's always going to be someone that 272 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: is smarter than you that may do something better than you, 273 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: and hey, that's cool. Let your ego go, ask the 274 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: hard questions and you will be grateful for it. 275 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 7: Hi Emily, Hey, love love, love everything you do with 276 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 7: your Hurdle podcast. Thank you so much for always interviewing 277 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 7: such amazing people and giving us so much great advice 278 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 7: through all of it. I'm wondering if you could give 279 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 7: some feedback on your favorite shoes to run outdoors in 280 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 7: more extreme weather conditions like massive amounts of rain or snow, 281 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 7: and then also your favorite shoes to run on a treadmill. 282 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 7: With thanks again, I hope. 283 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: You have a great day. 284 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: Asking me to pick favorites is a hard, hard thing 285 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: in terms of whether I have one sneaker I lean 286 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: into ninety nine point nine percent of the time when 287 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: it's raining. That is the Nike Pegasus Shield. It's got 288 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: a water repellent upper which really really helps the foot 289 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: stay dry. And if you don't already size up a 290 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: half size in your running shoes, I would highly encourage 291 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: you just to try it. That's because when you are 292 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: running and your foot is constantly hitting the ground, as 293 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: you can imagine with time, that motion is going to 294 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: cause your foot to swell. So buying your sneakers a 295 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: half size up will give your foot the room it 296 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: needs to accommodate that during your activity. Also, you asked 297 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: about shoes that I run on the treadmill with I mean, God, 298 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: this runs the gamut. Lately, I have been running a 299 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: lot on the tread in my Nike Pegasus thirty seven. 300 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: Also a big fan of the Brooks Ghost. The New 301 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 1: Balance eight ninety is one of my favorites, and the 302 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: New Balance Fuel Cell Rebel V two is one hundred 303 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: percent my go to as of late. For more Sneaker Rex. 304 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to link to the Weekly Hurdle blog post 305 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: that I did where I chatted you through all of 306 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: the shoes in my current regular rotation, so definitely check 307 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: that out. 308 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 8: Hi, Emily, this is Kara from Kansas City. I've been 309 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 8: listening to you for a few years now, and I 310 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 8: think I've listened to every episode. I really appreciate all 311 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 8: of the content you put out there. So being from 312 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 8: the Midwest, I've only been to New York once about 313 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 8: four years ago, and I'd love to travel again once 314 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 8: COVID has subsided slightly, and especially visit New York. I 315 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 8: had such a great time when I did visit, So 316 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 8: being an experienced New Yorker, I'd love to know a 317 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 8: few things for me. One, what's the best time to 318 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 8: come visit? 319 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 5: Two? 320 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 8: Where should I go or something I should eat? And three, 321 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 8: if i'm there, where's the best place to go for 322 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 8: a great run? 323 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 2: Thanks so much? 324 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: Oh love a New York tourist. So the best time 325 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: of year to come to New York? I think that 326 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: there's nothing like the fall in New York, specifically like 327 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: the very end of September early October. That's my favorite 328 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: time here. In the city. But also there's so many 329 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: special moments that you can find year round. So really 330 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: it's totally up to your travel schedule. If you come 331 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: in the summer, the city can be electric, everyone is 332 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: out the parks or poppin' it's so good. If you 333 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: come in the winter, you get so much of the 334 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: magic that comes with the holidays and being in New York, 335 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: the ice skating, the seasonal winter markets, all that stuff 336 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: is really great. And then, of course, I mean and 337 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: then whether on the spring is delightful as well, So 338 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: as spoken like a true New Yorker, I would recommend 339 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: the fall. But all you're here is absolutely great. As 340 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: for what to eat, no brainer. I'm going to tell 341 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: you to either go to our premi and get the 342 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: penny bolonaise or go to Emily. There are a few 343 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: locations either in the West Village or Brooklyn.
