Joy is...Learning.Adam Merry is an elite athlete for Saucony, based in Colorado. He started training competitively in 2017 and has since raced in distances up to 100km on the road and trails. As well as being an incredible athlete in his own right, he also uses his expertise to coach others and his background in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to bring light to the issues in the trail and ultra running world.I chatted to Adam upon his return from representing Team USA at the 80km World Mountain Running Championships and we shared an incredibly rich, broad-reaching conversation, as well as having a lot of fun! In addition to running geekery, we covered: pink shoes, babies and skinny pigs; the parallels between running and chess; finding our edge; the importance of community; why finish lines are arbitrary; movement as a means of connection and the thrill of representing your country; being a voice for representation; thoughts around tokenism; the role of mindful education in healing our communities; getting comfortable with being uncomfortable; celebrating the journey, and striving for 'experience' rather than curating 'identity'.Adam is an incredibly kind and warm person, with a wisdom that far exceeds his years, and his words are important ones that we would all benefit from truly listening to and acting upon. I was particularly grateful for his guidance regarding how we can all show up, whether at school or on the trails, as better allies and, indeed, better humans, in our day-to-day lives.

The name of Adam Merry's coaching company, “Run Merry,” is a play on his surname, but it also describes his philosophy.  He follows the advice of his coach, David Roche, to “smile as much as you can and try to be as uplifting to others as possible because it comes back to you.” His belief that having fun should be at the center of everything has served him well as a professional ultrarunner. In his three races last year, he finished first overall in the Run the Rock 50 miler, and second overall in the Sage Burner 50K and the Never Summer 100K. As a coach, he shares what he's learned on his running journey with clients all around the world. For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode293.

This episode of The Checkpoint podcast is sponsored by The North Face®. American trail runner Adam Merry is a name in our sport that, if you don't know already, you are sure to know soon. Over the past few years, since taking his training to the next level due to working with the well-respected coach – David Roche – Adam has podiumed, and won, some impressive US based trail races. He thrives through hard work, dedication, finding joy in the process and having fun while being super consistent with his training cycles. Adam - a mixed race man – was encouraged to go for a trail run six years ago. As often happens while out there on the trails, this 4-mile run turned into 8 miles and just a few months later he signed up for his first 50K. Yes, trail running is that addictive! Nowadays you can find Adam out on the trails of Colorado finding joy in the process, coaching his own athletes, or working – as we do at Black Trail Runners – to increase representation of Black people in trail running. Follow Adam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amerryrunner/ Visit Adam's website here: https://runmerry.com/ BLACK TO THE TRAILS On the episode Sonny and Sabrina discussed the launch of Black Trail Runners' inaugural trail run event – Black to the Trails - which will take place on 11th September 2022.

She is a coach for Lift, Run, Perform and co-owner of a foot and ankle medical practice in Colorado. Adam Merry has quickly become one of the strongest ultra and trail runners in the country over the last few years. Just last week he finished 7th at the Way Too Cool 50k that featured a stacked field. Adam takes a time-centered approach to training with a strong emphasis on speed, boundless positivity and food, and planning for the long-term.

Will this song heal everyone of what 2020 has done?  Possibly.  In the shortest episode we have ever uploaded, Travis and Adam look to spread Christmas cheer by singing "Merry Christmas, Darling" originally sung by the Carpenters.  At some points, your ears will believe that these angelic voices that harmonize so clear together, were made just for you to feel peace during this holiday season.  Give it a listen.  (Sidenote: I wanted all hosts to do a song, but nobody else would)
