Heart Rate

Edge Athlete Lounge founders, Robyn and Brian, join us today to share the history of the gym, the race series they've created in Chicago, and we learn why Tank was banned from the noon classes!

This was a real privilege to be part of, and I am immensely grateful for all who joined me today, and shared their insights and feelings. So much was shared, and I hope you take some great thoughts and some hope out of it.

If you've been having a hard time day to day, or you've been up and down emotionally, this is a great episode to listen to/watch. Lots of great thoughts and shared experiences in this conversation!

We launch this speaker series on running during the time of corona with an amazing panel. Discussion flowed and some wonderful thoughts and ideas came out of it. I hope you enjoy listening and/or watching this conversation unfold.

In spite of the banter and endless trash talk, Gary is a good friend, and a good human. It was a pleasure speaking with him, and hearing his story.

On this episode of Heart Rate, I speak with Christine Nasol whom I had the pleasure of meeting and coaching through NYRR's Group Training. An all around fun human, dancer, strong runner, and kinda hilarious, it was a pleasure getting to speak with her.

From group trainee to coach, Coach Ben has had quite the journey, and fortunately for those he trains, he is also quite the baker. Join us as he shares his tale of running and baking

Thanks for stopping by today's episode of Heart Rate with the fabulous Sue Jordan. I loved hearing her story and perspectives on running, and I hope you enjoy it as well! 1

In this third part of the speaker series on running during corona, my guests and I share their thoughts, feelings, and strategies on navigating during this tumultuous time. All in all, we agree that the future holds so much potential for a better and brighter tomorrow. Thankfully we also have the technology to connect more people from all over the world, and we move forward into this next chapter, may we do so with compassion, kindness, and empathy for each other

In this second part during our speaker series on running during the time of corona, the conversation dives into the physical, mental, and emotional challenges many of us have experienced.

Discussions from runners and small business owners that cover their experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, the challenges faced, and sharing their thoughts on what the future of fitness businesses and racing looks like as we put in place safety measures for everyone

In this week’s special episode of Heart Rate, we talk to Gary McLaughlin. If you don’t know that name, it’s for the best. But seriously, he’s infamous among the November Project tribes in New York, a strong supporter of the Queens borough, and in a never-ending fierce rivalry with Billy ‘Bulldozer” Henehan and Sebastian “Jean Shorts” Gollings. So come listen, laugh, and struggle like the rest of us to understand what in the world he’s saying.

I met Christine through NYRR's Group Training, and she is a regular pistol, a real firecracker, in short, she's got grit and heart. This conversation covers a variety of running topics, and we just play it fast and loose. I largely left it raw just because it was such a fun conversation to have.

If you’ve ever run with NYRR’s Group Training, you probably know Coach Ben. Well, you probably know a Coach Ben. Both Bens are awesome, but this one is infamous for his bread, brownies, and cheesecake. On top of keeping runners well fed, he is a great example of the student becoming the teacher - he started as a Group Training trainee, and then came back as a coach to give back. And today he shares his story with us!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 9 of Heart Rate. Sue Jordan joins us to share her start along this wonderful path to running. It’s a truly refreshing and open conversation about running, the running and fitness communities, and how important running can be in maintaining one’s health and mental wellness.

Alison Desir-Figureoa, founder of two incredible movements and communities, Harlem Run and Run 4 All Women, joins us today. She is a community builder, leader, author, the list goes on. I’m also fortunate to call her a friend, and she came on the show to share her story with us.

I loved getting to talk with Coach Melanie Kann aka Mel Mel. She is one of my favorite people, and I loved hearing what got her motivated to get out the door and hit the roads. Stop on by to find out!

The Marvelous Ms. Mizell is a truly amazing person, and she has been part of a number of communities along her running journey. She’s also battled some physical challenges, which hasn’t stopped her from going after her goals. She and her story are inspiring, and I hope you enjoy getting to hear!

Go Gabby Go! Gabby Tofig is one of my faves from NYRR Group Training in Brooklyn. She’s one of the hardest working runners I know (and that’s saying something), and is also one of the kindest, enthusiastic, and supportive ones as well. Thanks for stopping by to hear her story!

Welcome to today’s episode of Heart Rate, featuring the one and only Winnie Lok. She is well-known in the running world, theater world, among the volunteer community, and other communities of which she’s a part. She is also an amazing runner, who has tackled the short and long distances with toughness and a love of fun in her heart. I loved hearing her story, and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

In this episode, I have the great fortune to have a wonderful conversation with Meg about racing, November Project, The Herren Project, and the importance of being a role model for our younger/past selves as well as new runners.

On episode 2, I get to talk with Katherine about her running journey, share some podcast shows for her to check out, and we trail off a little bit towards the end, but it's always fun catching up with KShea
