Christian Allen might be the most fascinating man in U.S. trail running. The two time all-American at BYU and Weber State is now a professional trail runner sponsored by Nike and Peregrune. He was able to parlay his high level college success into a trail career that is currently focused on top sub-ultra events in Europe and the U.S. He is a dynamic racer who isn't afraid to push from the front, even against some of the best runners in the world. All-in-all, he is my favorite American male trail runner to follow and it was an honor to have him on the show. In this episode he talks about his entrance into the pro trail running, how being a man of faith and a man of action create a perfect symbiosis, and how he was able to reach the podium at some of the most legendary races in the world so early in his career.

In this week's episode we talk to runner and Naval Office, Paul Johnson about:The logistics of running across the United StatesRaising money for Team Red, White and BlueFueling for 3,000 miles in 52 days (and change)In 2018 Naval Officer Paul Johnson went on his first deployment overseas to Spain. While it led to amazing opportunities, it was a difficult tour that weighed heavily on him and his fellow Sailors. His next duty station took him to San Diego in 2021, and once removed from the constant stressful environment of his first deployment, he began noticing the issues he had been dealing with, like persistent sleep issues, anxiety, and depression. He had been using alcohol as a coping mechanism, but his narrative began shifting in 2022, when a Marine friend asked Paul to train and run the Marine Corps Marathon. He trained for months, and they both ended up finishing the marathon in under 3 hours, and receiving their Boston Qualifier. During this time, he realized how much running helped him cope with the anxiety/depression symptoms he was experiencing. In January 2023, with a move to the East Coast, he started a run streak. This quickly evolved into entering the ultra scene, running 100 mile races by April 2023. Running was his therapy, and he found release and escape in a positive way. This year (2024), he tackled the TransCon, running 3,000 miles from California to New York to raise awareness & funds for mental health issues facing veterans through Team Red White and Blue, which exists to enrich the lives of veterans by providing opportunities to build a healthier lifestyle.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.***Keep up with Paul Johnson:IG: @pauijohnsonYT: @pauijohnsonWebsite/Donate to Team RWB: www.pauljohnson.run Mentioned:Sports Nutrition Education ProgramBoston Athletic Assn.

Donato, aka Twitter's Poet With Pace, hasn't always been a runner. Indeed, he didn't even start running until he was in his mid-50s and only took to the sport to raise money for charity. But once he started, there was no stopping him. Since completing the Birmingham Half-Marathon in 2015, Donato has gone on to break a Guinness World Record for running the fastest marathon dressed as a hospital patient, completed five marathon majors and raced for England at Master's level. Along the way he has amassed a YouTube following of close 5,500 subscribers to his 'Chatty Adventures' channel, where he posts race videos. Running Tales spoke to Donato about how he first started running, finding out he was both good at it and that it brought him joy, and why it took him so long to discover the sport in the first place...   nb.. Donato has requested we only use his first name. We are happy to comply with that request.   --------------------------------

Just getting to the starting line of a marathon is often the hardest part. Josh Berube recently completed his first marathon, but his journey to the finish was anything but easy. After a bad ankle-roll during peak training for the 2023 Eugene Marathon, Josh was forced to take a month off running and was faced with uncertainty about whether running 26.2 miles was even going to be possible. Josh and I worked together to modify his training, keep him active and optimistic throughout the process and got him to the starting line with a solid plan, ready to execute on it. Josh ran a phenomenal race, outdoing both of our expectations. He ran 2:59 with a big negative split and earned his Boston Qualifier in his first marathon. On this week's episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I talk with Josh Berube, Boston Qualifier and Knighton Lion about the triumphs and tribulations of training for and racing his first marathon.

Nelle Fox is a runner and owner of Excel Rocktown Running, an integrative coaching service that includes customized nutrition, strength, and run coaching. To date, she is a 3 time Boston Qualifier with a personal best in the marathon of 3:08:57, but also is an ultrarunner, having run Grindstone 100 as a top female finisher in 2021. While Nelle began competing in cross country and track at an early age and had a short, but successful career in middle and high school, it was after the birth of her second daughter that her health and fitness goals shifted towards endurance running and nutrition behaviors. In the first year following her second child's birth, she became involved in her local running community and found herself unexpectedly to be winning trail and road races outright. However, after surviving a rough year in 2016 with multiple long-undiagnosed tick diseases, her health was in shambles, as was her career and athletic performance. Despite a Whole30 reset and what may be referred to by some as “clean eating”, inflammation took hold and required significant medical attention for over 18 months. Since early 2017, she has been on the mend and continues to navigate ongoing intermittent “flares”, with thankfully, decreasing occurrence. Through reflection, functional medicine testing, careful nutrition, and ongoing flexibility with her training and lifestyle, Nelle has been able to continue a highly functional life and continue to make gains in her running performance.

A Boston Qualifier joins me today and shares her knowledge and experiences in running. She is a running coach and the founder of Elevate Your Running, Sara Manderscheid. The beginning of her running career came from the time when she reached her breaking point in 2019 while she works in the marketing world. So I ask Sara what really made her decide to transition into running miles. After exploring the journey to running, Sara then hosted various community group runs where she gather with other people to experience "endorphins". She then proves how she finds joy in running and coaching people. Sara also shares her thoughts about what beginner runners should do if they are having difficulty in figuring out their pace, how they should think about their results, and how they can overcome the negative self-talk which is common to athletes. There's more to learn from Sara and she gladly shares what she wants runners should keep in mind as they pursue their running careers. Hit the play button to get started!

Episode 108 Featuring Boston Qualifier and Entrepreneur Tommie Runz by

"I think that we don't give ourselves enough credit in many areas for the strength we have cause it doesn't seem like the connection should be made to something else.
