    Ivy Insights

    The Running for Real Podcast is an incredible podcast that I recently started listening to, and I am so glad I did. As a relatively new runner, it has been inspiring to hear the stories of different guests and their reasons for running. It has given me a renewed sense of achievement in my own running journey, even if I am not the fastest runner at 46 years old. The range of guests on this podcast has been fantastic, and I look forward to each new episode as I work my way through the archives.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the "Run with Me" series. As someone who prefers to run alone using the run/walk method, it can be difficult to find running companions. But these episodes provide the perfect companionship during my runs. They are mentally relaxing and offer a sense of camaraderie that I often miss while running solo. I hope that these episodes become a permanent feature on the show because they have truly enhanced my running experience.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is Tina's ability as a host. She is amazing at bringing out thoughtful and inspiring conversations from her guests. Whether they are psychologists or runners, each guest provides unique insights that make for engaging discussions. Tina's empathetic approach and genuine interest in her guests' stories create an atmosphere that is both relatable and thought-provoking. This podcast goes beyond just talking about running; it explores life lessons and experiences that have shaped individuals.

    While there aren't many negative aspects to mention, one small critique would be that not every episode may be relevant or interesting to all listeners. However, this is true for any podcast, and it is impressive that The Running for Real Podcast maintains such a high percentage of useful content. With its mix of psychology and running topics, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

    In conclusion, The Running for Real Podcast is an exceptional podcast that has changed my perspective on running and life. Tina is an amazing host who brings on intelligent and inspiring guests, creating thoughtful conversations that resonate with listeners. I highly recommend this podcast to runners and women everywhere because it offers so much more than just running talk. Thank you, Tina, for creating such an uplifting and inspiring podcast!

    David Roche: Shoot Your Shot - R4R 419

    David Roche smashed the 19-year-old course record at the Leadville Trail 100 Run this year. It was the first time that he'd run 100 miles, and even more incredibly, only months after a very different kind of smash. In April, while riding his bike, he was hit by a car and thrown 100 feet through the air and into a ditch, sustaining lacerations, a broken wrist, and a concussion. Far from derailing his training and aspirations, the accident intensified his motivation. For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode419.

Doctors told her that she had two to five years to live, and that before she died, she would lose the ability to walk, talk, move, eat and breathe. Now, ten years later, she is the first person with ALS to have completed a marathon in all fifty states and she and her husband run the Team Drea Foundation, a nonprofit that raises funds for ALS research.
