Beyond the Pines with Molly Seidel and Julia Hanlon
The Build Up with Molly Seidel and Julia Hanlon is an incredible podcast for runners, offering a wealth of valuable insights on both the mental and physical aspects of training. From the very first episode I listened to, which was prior to The 2020 Trials, I was immediately captivated by Molly and Julia's engaging discussions. It happened when I was on a plane, traveling back home from Minnesota. And during the following month, when we were all stuck at home due to the pandemic (fortunately, living in Florida meant it only lasted a month), I became completely hooked on running podcasts. The Build Up quickly became my go-to choice, providing relaxation, inspiration, and a refreshing perspective on running.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the vast amount of information Molly and Julia share. They cover an extensive range of topics related to running, such as training strategies, nutrition tips, injury prevention techniques, and race preparation advice. Their expertise as professional runners shines through in every episode, serving as a valuable resource for beginners and experienced athletes alike. Additionally, they bring in guest speakers who provide unique perspectives and insights into various areas of running. This diversity keeps each episode fresh and interesting.
Another great aspect of The Build Up is Molly's vulnerability when it comes to discussing how running can sometimes be unhealthy even for an Olympic medalist like herself. She doesn't shy away from sharing her own struggles with disordered eating and body image issues that often plague athletes. By opening up about her personal experiences, she creates a safe space for listeners to relate and connect with her on a deeper level. This authenticity not only makes Molly more relatable but also highlights the importance of prioritizing mental health alongside physical fitness.
While there are few drawbacks to this podcast, one potential downside could be that some episodes may seem too specific or niche for certain listeners. For example, if an episode focuses heavily on marathon training or ultra-running strategies, individuals who are not specifically interested in those areas may find it less engaging. However, considering the vast range of topics covered in The Build Up, it is likely that listeners will find many episodes that resonate with their own interests and goals.
In conclusion, The Build Up with Molly Seidel and Julia Hanlon is a podcast that any runner should add to their playlist. With its informative and diverse content, this podcast offers valuable advice on both the physical and mental aspects of training. Molly's vulnerability adds an extra layer of relatability, making this podcast truly unique and empowering. Whether you are a beginner looking for guidance or an experienced runner seeking inspiration, The Build Up has something to offer everyone in the running community. Listening to Molly and Julia's discussions feels like having a conversation with friends who genuinely care about your progress as a runner.
