Finally got Nikki Hiltz on the show!!! I had been wanting to talk to them for like a year now but they were way too busy tearing up the circuit! Nikki is a true champion! During their journey, not only have they risen to the top of the sport and had a 2023 practically second to none, Nikki has shouldered some of the burden of making change in a sport that so desperately needed it. We discussed the Nikki's last couple years, how coming out as gay differed drastically from coming out as trans/nonbinary, support systems and Pride 5K. Note to Nikki - Thank you for all you have done and are doing in an industry/sport that doesn't seem to like change at times. You are giving a voice to so many people! Each step you make for and with the LGTBQ+ community is also a step for other underrepresented and underserved communities! And for that I'd like to say thank you!

The queen of running social media graced us with her presence!!! Erin Azar aka ImMrsSpaceCadet! Erin took running by storm a few years ago with her content focusing on connecting with other folks that love running yet find it to be a struggle…calling herself a Pro Struggle Runner.

This episode is different than you might expect…I walked away with so many takeaways and tips I am going to work to implement in life! This was a fun one but kinda deep too! I liked Erin before but now…I feel like I just gained a new friend! Go follow Erin on IG https://instagram.com/immrsspacecadet?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Such a fun episode! Had Keira back on the show after almost a year! In that year she has done so many amazing things on the roads! Crushing races and most recently snagging the American Women's Half Marathon record with a time of 1:06:39! As she prepares to run for Team USA at 2023 World Championships in Budapest she spent some time with me catching up, talking about workouts, running tips, family, balance, answered some questions from her fans on Instagram and just had some all around fun! Be sure to watch her next marathon in Budapest! Go KEIRA!

Got a chance to catch up to American distance runner Nico Montanez! Nick has been selected as one of the three marathoners to represent the US at The World Championships in Budapest this summer! Nico started running around the middle school age like most of the professional athletes we love to watch on TV but his backstory is so much different than most. In fact, his energy and backstory is the main reason I wanted to chat with him! I was not disappointed! The way Nico approaches life with gratitude is not only admirable….it's inspirational. So many nuggets in here about life. How to be self aware but approach yourself with grace. How to fight self doubt and feelings/actions that are self sabotaging in nature. We obviously talked about running a bit and how awesome it's been to be in Mammoth with a legend, Deena Kastor. AND OBVIOUSLY some about that little thing he is doing this summer in Budapest called World Champs! Go follow Nico on Instagram and cheer for him in Budapest!!!

Such a dope lady!!! Makenna was so fun to talk to! So down to earth but at the same time super inspiring!

*had some technical difficulties with this one so please bear with me. Ben Rosario is the Executive Director of the professional distance running team, NAZ Elite. Ben has literally done everything in and around the sport from an elite professional running himself, to coaching youth, founding NAZ Elite, coaching the pros, working with HOKA through this team for product development…all the way to the position he holds now. We had some technical difficulties during the recording of this episode but Ben is nonetheless full of gems for running and life! I find it fascinating that it seems like everywhere he has gone, including in grade school, he ends of leading and/or building something. Along this journey of life and sport Ben has done a beautiful job at living, learning and evolving to better himself and the people around him. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed kickin it with Ben!

To celebrate 100 episodes I wanted to do something special “to me”. Something that felt right. So I had my mom on the show! We talked about we I started running, the importance of community, raising Tommie Runz, how GaryIsARunner caused my stress fracture, her favorite shows, and more! This was somewhat of a candid convo, or at least it felt like it. I've never had an issue phrasing a question until this episode. To be honest, this conversation was somewhat therapeutic as we haven't really discussed some of this stuff before…ever (my fault not hers). Hope you enjoy and thanks for supporting as always!
