Podcasts about Boston Marathon

Welcome to Week 5 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the 2024 Chicago Marathon with one big goal: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you're training for a marathon, dealing with PT frustrations, or wondering how to pace a race properly (spoiler: I didn't!), this week's got everything you need. This week was a GAME-CHANGER:

Jennifer Comfort is a USAT-certified triathlon coach, Ironman triathlete, and open water swim observer whose approach to performance blends endurance, mindfulness, and a deep respect for inner stillness.Jennifer didn't start her journey as a seasoned pro. In fact, during her first triathlon 20 years ago, she basically dog paddled through the swim, terrified to put her face in the water. Today, she's a multiple-time Ironman and 70.3 finisher, a Boston Marathon qualifier, and a respected coach guiding adult athletes at all levels. She leads open water swim workouts on the Columbia River and supports world-class endurance swims as an official observer.What sets Jennifer apart, though, is how she's embraced silence as part of her champion's mindset. In a surprising turn, Jennifer shares how a 7-day silent meditation retreat completely changed her life—sharpening her focus, helping her manage anxiety and depression, and giving her a deeper edge as both a coach and an athlete.Looking for a new challenge? Try silence. Whether you're a Masters swimmer, a returning triathlete, or simply someone looking to reconnect with purpose and grit, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and practical advice.In this episode, you'll hear:How Jennifer went from dog paddling her first triathlon to completing full Ironman races and coaching elite athletesWhat it means to be an open water swim observer, and why that role is vital in endurance swimmingWhy her weekly “Open Water Wednesday” swims are creating a strong local swim communityWhat it's really like to go completely silent for seven days—and the breakthroughs that can come from itHer advice for first-time triathletes, including mindset, gear, and how to start without feeling overwhelmedPractical tips for using breathwork, mindfulness, and internal awareness to enhance training and racingHow to balance parenting, training, and business with grace and mental strengthNotable Quote: "We're with ourselves 24/7… so we might as well learn to like ourselves a little bit." – Jennifer ComfortThis episode is for you if you:Are a swimmer curious about trying your first triathlon—or returning to the sportWant to bring more mindfulness and presence into your athletic routineAre intrigued by the idea of a silent retreat and what it might unlock in your lifeAppreciate hearing from women who lead, coach, compete, and rise through challengeJennifer's story reminds us that becoming a champion doesn't always start with winning. It starts with showing up, staying curious, and sometimes—even staying quiet long enough to hear what really matters.Tune in to learn how silence, grit, and intention shape the journey of a true endurance athlete.Email us at HELLO@ChampionsMojo.com.

“Don't retire, repurpose!…follow the plan…trust the process…” -Ron Mann, Northern Arizona-Louisville hall of fame track coach. On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome Hall of Fame track and field coach Ron Mann as he talks about his career, from how he got into running, to how he got into coaching, to how he got to be one of a handful of men to train multiple Boston Marathon champions (2 of them are brothers, Wesley and John Korir). But none of those are his greatest accomplishments. His greatest accomplishment doesn't involve running, but walking, walking with Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Be sure to check out her first appearances on episodes 80, 150, and 550 of Boundless Body Radio!Michelle Hurn, RD is a registered and licensed dietitian with sixteen years of experience as a clinical, acute care dietitian, lead dietitian in psychiatric care, and outpatient dietitian. Michelle is an avid endurance athlete, she has qualified for the Boston Marathon 12 times, and on November 7th 2020, she won her first ultra marathon covering 44.63 miles in a 6 hour timed race.While practicing inpatient and outpatient care in the hospital setting, Michelle discovered a disheartening connection between the high carbohydrate, low fat, “sugar in moderation,” nutrition guidelines she was required to teach, and the rapidly declining health of her patients.In 2019, Michelle's health started to fall apart. She was experiencing severe muscle pain, spasms, and crippling anxiety. She decided to follow a low carbohydrate, high animal protein diet simply to see if it might alleviate the severe muscle pain she was experiencing. Not only was her muscle pain gone in a matter of weeks, her decades of anxiety began to fade.After reviewing the extensive clinical trials on a low carbohydrate diet, she knew she had to spread the word about this transformative way of eating. Michelle has written the book The Dietitian's Dilemma: What would you do if your health was restored by doing the opposite of everything you were taught?, detailing how the current nutrition guidelines came into existence and advocating a low-carbohydrate, animal-based way of eating as an option for individuals struggling with diabetes, mental disorders, eating disorders, sarcopenia, and heart disease.Find Michelle at-IG- runeatmeatrepeathttps://thedietitiansdilemma.net/TW- @michellehurnrdAmazon- The Dietitian's Dilemma: What would you do if your health was restored by doing the opposite of everything you were taught?Amazon- The Fox Family Food FightFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

Athlete and University of Illinois alumna Susannah Scaroni talks about winning the women's wheelchair division at the Boston Marathon and other highlights from her career.

“My view on running is that it's the simplest sport — but the fact of that simplicity opens up the possibility that if you think about it deeply and use it deeply in your life, it can be a tool to help you understand the really important and complicated stuff.”By day, Nick Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic shaping the future of journalism. By early morning and often late evening, he's pounding the pavement between his Brooklyn home and Manhattan office, logging miles that many of us would consider as workouts. But somehow at age 49, he's still getting faster.In 2021, Nick ran a 2:29 marathon. At 45, he broke the American age group record in the 50K. Now he's the author of “The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports.” It's a book that's part memoir, part meditation on how running shapes us, challenges us, and sometimes reveals more than we're ready to face. It's out this fall.In this conversation, Nick opens up about growing up in the shadow of a gifted but troubled father, about breaking free from a years-long plateau in his running, and how sport has helped him find meaning both on and off the track. For Nick, running has never just been about the finish line or breaking records. It's about understanding who we are and who we want to be, which sometimes we learn in the process. We recorded this in April, so there may be a few references to the Boston Marathon which Nick was slated to run as part of Puma's Project 3 but had to withdraw from the race due to a family matter.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nick Thompson | ⁠@nxthompson on Instagram⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠Mentioned in this episode…Pre-order: The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of SportsWatch: The Running Ground: Nick Thompson On Life, Legacy and the Simplest of SportsSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

Running the Boston Marathon was a dream for Natalie Daniels and doing it six-months postpartum felt like a way for her to celebrate the beauty and power of the female body. That's why Daniels says she was troubled to learn that the Boston Marathon was now allowing men who identify as women to compete in the women's category.     Daniels, an avid marathon runner, shared her concerns regarding the Boston Marathon policy on social media and on a podcast with XX-XY Athletics just a few days before the marathon in April. Almost instantly, people Daniels did and did not know began attacking her over her opinion that men should not be allowed to compete in the women's category. The young mom faced threats, with individuals online encouraging Boston Marathon attendees to throw bottles at Daniels while she ran.     Following the race, Daniels was kicked out of her running club for refusing to state that a man, with enough hormones and treatment, can ever become a woman. Today, she has partnered with XX-XY Athletics, a pro-women athletic apparel company, to stand up for the integrity and protection of women's sports.     Daniels joins the Problematic Women Podcast to share her story and explain how her faith in God has played a critical role in her running journey.     Also on today's show, we discuss Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., appeared on “The Shawn Ryan Show,” and the controversy following Chip and Joanna Gaines decision to feature a same-sex couple in their new TV series. And is “Swag,” Justin Bieber's new album, a hit or a miss? We give our reactions.     Enjoy the show!    Subscribe to The Tony Kinnett Cast:    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tony-kinnett-cast/id1714879044⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Don't forget our other shows: Virginia Allen's Problematic Women:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/problematic-women⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Bradley Devlin's The Signal Sitdown:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/the-signal-sitdown⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Follow The Daily Signal:  X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://x.com/DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Truth Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.youtube.com/user/DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Rumble:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://rumble.com/c/TheDailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Thanks for making The Daily Signal Podcast your trusted source for the day's top news.

@marcfucarile @marcnetworkincA chance encounter at the Chicago Abilities Expo led to one of our most powerful conversations yet. Marc Fugarile, a Boston Marathon bombing survivor, shares his journey from the devastating moment when the second bomb detonated just feet away from him – instantly amputating his right leg, setting him ablaze, and leaving him fighting for his life.With remarkable candor, Marc reveals the profound isolation he felt during recovery, describing how it took three and a half years to find the appropriate prosthetic socket for his needs. "I missed three and a half years of my son's life because I wasn't able to be standing up," he explains, his voice carrying both grief and determination. This frustrating experience sparked the creation of the MARC Network (Mobility Awareness Resource Community) – a free mobile app connecting people with disabilities, their families, and service providers in one digital space.What truly distinguishes Marc's vision is his recognition of untapped power within the disability community. "We are a community made up of 60 million people that control a trillion dollars in spend every year," he emphasizes. Yet this immense potential remains fragmented by systems that divide people by specific conditions, diminishing their collective voice. Mark passionately argues for unity, noting how the disability community consistently bears the brunt of economic downturns and policy decisions made by those unaffected by the consequences.The MARC Network represents more than just technological innovation – it's a movement to reclaim agency and create sustainable support systems. As Mark explains his public benefit corporation model that channels resources back into community needs, we glimpse what's possible when tragedy transforms into purpose. This speedcast episode may be shorter than our usual format, but its impact will stay with you long after listening.

In this episode, Lisa Levin tells her running story through to today, where at 51, she's more excited than ever to challenge herself and set motivating goals.  In addition to being a longtime runner with a particular interest in running marathons, especially Boston, which she has run an astonishing 22 times, Lisa is also a coach and podcaster, with Julie Sapper, who was featured on WRS last week. Lisa and Julie co-host the terrific podcast Run Farther and Faster, and they also coach together, through their coaching business under the same name. For the the past four years, I've teamed with with Lisa and Julie to host  panel discussions over Boston Marathon weekend. Now I get to have Lisa telling the story of her running journey (after Julie told her story last week). Here, Lisa tells her running journey from how she got starter, through IVF treatments and two pregnancies, to right now, with a look forward to her next goal.

Send us a textIf this author's name sounds familiar it's because we've had him on 7 times before... and we haven't even covered half of the books he's written about endurance sport. As always, Matt is a great speaker and talks to us about the concept of mastery and mastering what it means to master your sport, which is the subject of his latest book, Chasing Mastery.Chasing Mastery is a guide developed to help athletes master their running through 25 lessons grouped under five pillars:MotivationLearningUnderstandingIndividuationChallengeAs you can probably tell by the pillars, this book is not a training plan. It's meant to help you think more critically about the training you're doing so that you can get closer to reaching your potential as an athlete. Chasing mastery is also an online course that coaches and athletes can take through the 8020 education platform.Matt became a runner at the age of eleven, after running the last mile of the 1983 Boston Marathon with his father (who had run the whole thing) and his two brothers. By that time Matt was already a writer (specifically a comedic poet), having declared his intention to make his future career as a writer at the age of nine. He never changed his mind. He has since written over 30 books about endurance sports and started his own publishing company called 8020 Publishing. Matt is also a coach, nutritionist, public speaker and founder of Dream Run Camp (a place where runners can go to train like the pros!). Most notable of Matt's accomplishments is the fact that he has been on the Running Book Reviews Podcast 7 times!! If you're interested in a copy of the book then you can find it here:https://a.co/d/5SZ3tXSLink for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOK Discount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

In this inspiring episode of the Fathers of the Future Podcast, host Luke Kayyem sits down with his coaching client and friend, Jesse Mufasa Goldsmith, to discuss Jesse's remarkable transformation. Previously known as "Big Cat," a nickname tied to his 385-pound frame and party-heavy lifestyle, Jesse shares how he shed 135 pounds, embraced sobriety, and completed the Boston Marathon. The journey began 18 months ago after a serendipitous meeting with Luke on a golf course, followed by a pivotal moment of hitting rock bottom. Jesse's story highlights his shift from a self-destructive identity to one of resilience and purpose, embodied in his new persona, "Mufasa," inspired by his commitment to being a strong, protective father to his daughter, Sophie.Jesse recounts key milestones, including adopting intermittent fasting, quitting alcohol, and training for two half-marathons and the Boston Marathon, all while overcoming a relapse and battling physical and mental challenges. With Luke's guidance, Jesse rebuilt his confidence, rekindled his competitive drive as a commercial real estate broker, and inspired his family and colleagues. The episode culminates in Jesse's emotional Boston Marathon finish, a testament to his dedication and the support of his community, leaving listeners with a powerful message about transformation, legacy, and inspiring others.Guest: Jesse Mufasa Goldsmith, commercial real estate broker at Newmark, former college tennis player, and father to Sophie.Key Themes:Identity Shift: From "Big Cat," a persona tied to excess and self-destruction, to "Mufasa," symbolizing strength and protection for his daughter.Transformation Journey: Losing 135 pounds naturally, quitting alcohol, and completing the Boston Marathon.Rock Bottom Moment: A wake-up call during a daddy-daughter trip in Salt Lake City, leading to sobriety and commitment to change.Coaching Impact: Luke Kayyem's non-judgmental approach helped Jesse rebuild his life through small, consistent changes.Boston Marathon: Ran for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, raising $17,000, and finished in 5:27:55, just two minutes before the sweep.Highlights:Meeting Luke on a golf course in Flagstaff, facilitated by mutual friend Riyadh Naza.Overcoming a relapse during a golf trip, recommitting to sobriety and training.Emotional family reunion in Boston, with Jesse's parents, wife, and daughter supporting him.Upcoming documentary, Road to Boston, focusing on mental health awareness, set for release around July 4, 2025, on YouTube.Resources:Luke Kayyem's Website: https://www.lukekayyem.com/Schedule a Call with Luke: https://www.lukekayyem.com/scheduleLuke's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lukekayyemLuke's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukekayyem

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:47  Hello, you guys. Happy Fuck Yeah Friday. Welcome. How are you? This is where we do a quick, quick episode celebrating your wins. You might, you might hear your win, and it's going to be later than you sent it, so it'll be a reminder of a win you had, and you get to hear a win of mine, and hopefully that helps you see that there's like, wins happening all the time, and then some inspiration and affirmation. Lesley Logan 1:06  So okay, so I saved this back when everyone was, like, up in a tizzy about the all those rich women who went to space, and of course, there were some people who went on there who are actual scientists and have done some amazing things in this world to, like, change things. So we don't discount that there were some epic things going on there, but I remember it happening around the same time that Sunita Williams came back from she was there for 286 days. Okay, so we're gonna talk about her. I'm just gonna read the actual thing. The actual post. This is from Female Quotient, and I'll put the link in the show notes. But she was supposed to go to space for like, eight days, and ended up there for nine months. And so I remember this happened. I'm like, what if she, like, parked and just like, long term parking. Like, you went away for eight days, so you have, like, what a dog set up for eight days, but now you're gone for nine months. Like, just, can you imagine all the things? Like, do you have? All the things you need? I'm just hopefully, I don't know if she has a cycle. I'm just, like, a little worried about that. Anyways. So meet and welcome home, obviously, she's been home for a bit, but let's just talk about her, because we need to, she did not get enough press, and we have to, let's do that, Be It babes together. Sunita Williams, record-breaking astronaut, pilot and trailblazer, who returned to Earth after 286 in space with fellow astronaut, Butch Wilmore. One of the most experienced spacewalkers in the world, she holds the record for the most spacewalks by a woman. Williams, originally from Ohio, was a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot who logged 3000 flight hours and 30 different aircrafts before becoming a NASA astronaut. Fast forward eight years, and she took her first space flight aboard the ISS. Her career accomplishments are out of this world and growing. Spent 608 plus days in space, ran the Boston Marathon in space on a treadmill, oh, my God, completed nine spacewalks totaling over 60 hours, was the first person to pilot a spacecraft using only touch screen controls., was the first woman to command the International Space Station twice, among the first astronauts chosen for NASA's Artemis missions, aiming to bring humans to the moon. More Fun Facts, during her most recent mission, because of her high speed, 28,000 kilometer per hour and low gravity, Sunita technically experienced time slower than us on Earth. She grew space lettuce, helping NASA study space food production, because the ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes, she witnessed 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets per day. Oh, my God, so Sunita Williams shows us that strength, curiousity and resilience can really take you places. Sunita, thanks for being a badass. Thank you for your 286 days on, you know, up there and like, what an inconvenience. And also, like, for just like, I mean, not being scared to do, like, some crazy stuff, like, you're just, we need more. Like, that's the news I want to hear. Why didn't I hear that? Why do I have to hear about like, Katy Perry going to space like, I don't really care. Anyways, that's just me. Lesley Logan 3:48  Okay, now it's time for one of your wins. Heather Ingram. I had an opportunity to sub a bunch of hours at a studio this week, and had two new clients in my studio as well. I had some moments of awe at how more comfortable, confident and knowledgeable I am as an instructor, and I said to myself, self, you're a great instructor. Will there always be more to learn and apply? Absolutely. But after pursuing this passion the past seven years of teaching, I'm so much more confident, and I'm attracting a great client tribe, and I'm more in tune with listening to my gut and being in practice versus perfection with clients my self practice and my business. Thanks to all the communities in Agency, eLevate, OPC, I feel grateful to know what it feels like to be firing a little bit more on all cylinders, and some days will always just be hard, but everything feels a bit better. Plus, the sun has been out in Seattle for eight days straight, so maybe that's it, too. Heather Ingram, yes, girl, yes. Oh my God. I love it so much. I love it so much. I think that's like, a huge that's such a big win. I'm just going to leave it with one win from you all just because I just want to let that all sink in. Like, how many times have you been like, investing in learning, investing in growing, investing in time and energy and understanding something? And how many of those times you sit back and go, whoa. Look what I, look how far I've come. Like, how often have you looked in the rear view mirror, like, what a badass am I? I'm like, celebrate before you hit that next peak. Like, Heather, your win, I think truly is one of the biggest wins we could have. Like, I think sometimes we think, oh, I don't have a big win because I haven't been to space yet. But like, understanding, acknowledging and celebrating like that you're doing a badass job. That is, like, probably one of the biggest wins ever. And I'm so, so stoked for you. So thank you for sharing that. Lesley Logan 5:23  All right, now it's time for one of my wins. So, you guys, I'm currently in Los Angeles visiting friends, and that's my win. I'm about to go on a big tour, our summer tour, and you'll hear more about that in the future episodes. But I have had, like, I've tried many different things on, like, oh, let's do a vacation at the end of the tour. Let's try to do some days off in the tour. And we are doing that. But most of the people are like, oh, I couldn't go on vacation before something, because, like, I have that thing on my mind. Let me just tell you, yes, the tour is on my mind, and yes, there is promo happening about it. But also I like, gotta be honest, I'm so excited to take some well-rested spa time before I go on tour. So I'm going on a spa day with some girlfriends. I'm seeing some friends I haven't seen in a long time, because we don't go to go to L.A. as often as possible, as we used to, like, just seemed like things were easier when you couldn't travel anywhere else, but where you could drive. Like, we went to L.A. almost monthly. And so here we are, like, like, I don't know when the last time we were there, so I'm just super, super excited, and that's my win. So if you plan some time off for yourself, you need to pat yourself on the back. Give yourself a high five. You just had a win. Lesley Logan 6:28  All right. Affirmation, affirmation. Be good to yourself. Be good to yourself. Be good to yourself. Are you being good to yourself? Like, what? Yes, be good to yourself. You're a badass, you're amazing. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 6:46  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Runner, running coach, and podcaster Julie Sapper is on Women's Running Stories! Her story here is focused on  her return from a long-term injury: an ACL tear. She tells about her thorough approach to healing and recovery and the nonlinear path to returning to running injury-free, all the way to returning to her ultimate goal: running the Boston Marathon, for her 13th time. Sapper was so thoughtful and complete through this process—"I wanted to get a PR in recovery," she says—she has a lot of great experience and wisdom to share. Julie Sapper is part of the super coaching and podcasting duo behind Run Farther and Faster, with Lisa Levin. For the the past four years, I've teamed with with Sapper and Levin to host  panel discussions over Boston Marathon weekend. Now I get to have Sapper telling this inspiring part of her running story.

No Sight, No Sound, No Surrender: The Aaron Hale Story This week's Team Never Quit episode features the incredible Aaron Hale—a man who has stared down adversity, twice over, and answered with resilience, grit, and chocolate. A 14-year military veteran of both the Navy and Army, Aaron was serving his second deployment in Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team Leader when an IED explosion took his sight and altered the course of his life. But Aaron didn't stop moving forward—he started climbing. Aaron shares how he turned tragedy into testimony, going from the battlefield to building a life filled with purpose. From teaching at the EOD school post-injury to completing the Boston Marathon and climbing mountains, Aaron's journey is one of extreme perseverance. In 2015, another blow—bacterial meningitis—left him completely deaf, but with cochlear implants, the support of his incredible wife McKayla, and a “Challenge Accepted” mindset, Aaron continues to thrive. We also dive into Aaron and McKayla's passion project turned thriving business—Extra Ordinary Delights, an artisan chocolate and fudge company born out of love, grit, and a relentless pursuit of joy.  Aaron Hale doesn't just inspire—he challenges all of us to rise, to reinvent, and to find joy even in the most unexpected places. From bombs to bonbons, his life is a powerful reminder that adversity is not the end of the story—it's the beginning of a better one. In This Episode You Will Hear: •  I became one of the personal chefs for the 3-star Admiral, commander to the 6th fleet (1:10) •  I wanted to be in a tight knit brotherhood. I wanted a technically challenging career field.  (14:40) •  Being that evidence collector guy that I wanted to be, I made my approach with a metal detector. 20 yards or so from the primary device was a secondary device that hadn't been found yet. It vaulted me into the air. I reached up to fix my helmet and it was gone. And I thought “Oh, no - this is bad”. At Walter Reed, I was told I'd be blind for the rest of my life. (28:05)  •  Total blindness comes with a bonus gift of sleep disorder. You can't rest you circadian rhythm. (30:50) •  I had those demons in my head asking the What if's; the Why me's. (31:37) •  I don't have a monopoly on pain. (33:36) •  I don't have any good answers, any good reasons to quit (33:43) •   Instead of “Why me? or “I can't” I just try to figure out how I can. (34:00) •  For about 6 months, I learned how to be blind. (36:03) •  I'm having an awesome time. (38:59) •  I contracted Bacterial Meningitis. That came closer to killing me than the bomb had. (39:20) •  That's when I felt bad - when I was just thinking about myself (42:37) •  I might as well keep working hard to do hard things. (46:08) •  For ten years I've been running marathons and ultra marathons (46:30) •  Everything in my life is a team sport (49:49) •  You can look at it as “I have to” or “I get to” (50:16) •  Maybe one day, the story of your struggle might be the blueprint for someone else's survival (52:35) Support Aaron   - https://pointofimpactpod.com/ - Link tree: https://linktr.ee/aaronhalepointofimpact  Fb:  https://www.facebook.com/aclayhale IG: https://www.instagram.com/aclayhale/ Support TNQ   - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13   -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors:   -  cargurus.com/TNQ    - armslist.com/TNQ   - partnersinbuilding.com - Navyfederal.org        -    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - WARFARE IN THEATERS APRIL 11th Watch Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JER0Fkyy3tw First Look Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3DWuqiAUKg&t=3s    -   - PXGapparel.com/TNQ   - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ    - Selectquote.com/TNQ    - Groundnews.com/TNQ    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - shipsticks.com/TNQ    - Robinhood.com/gold    - strawberry.me/TNQ    - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}    - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ]   -  kalshi.com/TNQ   -  joinbilt.com/TNQ    - Tonal.com [TNQ]   - greenlight.com/TNQ   - PDSDebt.com/TNQ   - drinkAG1.com/TNQ   - Shadyrays.com [TNQ]   - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ]   - Hims.com/TNQ   - Shopify.com/TNQ   - Aura.com/TNQ   - Policygenius.com   - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ]   - usejoymode.com [TNQ]

"In life and in marathons, whoever can overcome those challenges the best — it's not about not having challenges, because you are going to have them — it's about responding to them, being resilient, learning from them, inspiring other people, and sharing that with others." Jordan Hasay competed at her first Olympic Trials when she was in high school. After graduating, she attended the University of Oregon, where she became an 18-time All American. She immediately signed with Nike to kick off her professional track career. When Jordan transitioned to marathoning, she had immediate success, debuting at the 2017 Boston Marathon where she finished third and broke the record for the fastest marathon debut by an American woman (2:23). That fall, Jordan raced the Chicago Marathon, where she again finished third, running 2:20:57. Now, life looks a little for Jordan — now Jordan Hogan — and her husband, Ryan. They are the founders of Hogan Performance, and Jordan is finding new joy in this chapter of life as a coach. She's also 35 weeks pregnant with their first child! In this conversation, Jordan talks about pregnancy expectations vs. reality, and about whether or not she hopes to someday return to competing.  SPONSORS:  Boulderthon: Join me in Boulder, CO, on September 28, 2025!

Joel and Beth Bass have been synonymous with Weber State Athletics for more than three decades. The couple has attended countless Wildcat events and influenced the lives of thousands of WSU student-athletes. The two are retiring this summer after long service to Weber State. In this latest ‘Cat Tales podcast, Joel looks back on his 34 years of work as the head athletic trainer at Weber State. He talks about the role of athletic trainers and how the job has changed, the relationship with doctors, memorable Wildcat games, dealing with injuries, travel, the Boston Marathon, retirement plans, family, and much more. Joel has been the head athletic trainer for Wildcat Athletics since 1991. For the last several years, he has worked as the Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine, where he oversaw athletic training, strength and conditioning, and equipment. He has been the primary athletic trainer for the Wildcat football and men's basketball teams since coming to Weber State in 1991 and has also worked closely with all other Wildcat teams. He has probably been to more Weber State games than anyone alive. Joel played a pivotal role in developing Weber State University's Athletic Training Education Program, advocating for enhanced treatment of athletes at various levels. His efforts have been instrumental in offering a degree in Athletic Training at the university. Throughout his career, Joel has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the advancement of sports medicine and the welfare of student-athletes at Weber State.

Send us a textBrent Bills is a passionate endurance athlete who has completed 22 St. George Marathons since 2002. He has completed 7 full Ironmans and 17 half Ironmans—11 in St. George alone. At 50, he pushed his limits with 500 miles of racing in one year. Brent ran track and cross country in high school, but his competitive journey took off at a new level in 2001 when friends persuaded him to try a triathlon. With little experience, a heavy mountain bike, and a basic fitness routine, Brent got hooked and steadily improved—eventually hiring a swim coach and upgrading his gear. A two-time cancer survivor, he reignited his fitness journey to reclaim his health. Despite injuries like torn hamstrings and calf strains, Brent remains committed, even earning a Boston Marathon qualifying time. His story is one of grit, resilience, and determination. Outside of competing athletically, he has worked as the Business Administrator and Chief Financial Officer of the Washington County School District for 23 years, has been married for 30 years, and has 1 child.

Show Notes: Lili Barouch, a cardiologist, went to medical school at Johns Hopkins.  After moving to Baltimore, she became a cardiologist specializing in heart failure and transplant. She joined the faculty in 2003 and worked on basic science research, research lab, and inpatient and outpatient care for heart failure and transplant patients. Lili stayed in this role for about 10 years before transitioning to outpatient cardiology. She moved to Howard County, Maryland, where her children have grown up. Founding the Sports Cardiology Program Lili started becoming more athletic around 20 years ago. This led to her interest in sports cardiology, a field geared towards athletes. She founded the sports cardiology program at Johns Hopkins and a training program for future sports cardiologists. She talks about building a new program from scratch, how the field of sports cardiology has grown significantly. Sports Cardiology Screening Sports cardiology involves screening athletes, including younger athletes, high-level athletes, and masters athletes. Screening includes evaluating athletes for risk factors, symptomatic athletes, those with known cardiac diseases, and those with significant changes in the heart due to high-level exertion. Lili talks about findings through screenings in sports cardiology including congenital heart defects, a family history of cardiac death at a young age, or abnormal ECGs. She mentions that there is no single standard throughout the country for what type of screening is required for college athletics. The general Sports Med and team physician screen everyone to a certain extent. Sports cardiologists typically are involved in second-level screening, for example, high blood pressure is an area that needs to be addressed, especially in younger athletes. By understanding the specifics of each type of screening and addressing any underlying conditions, athletes can better prepare for their future athletic careers. Stress Tests and ECG Abnormalities The conversation turns to the importance of stress tests and ECG abnormalities in sports. Athletes often tend to be symptom minimizers, ignoring minor symptoms that don't seem to affect anything at the time. However, many athletes who develop cardiac arrests report having some symptoms before they report them later. Lili talks about finding the balance between not wanting to alarm patients and not wanting them to ignore symptoms. Guidelines in Sports Cardiology Sports Cardiology is its own field. New guidelines have come out this year about shared decision making, which helps athletes decide whether to continue playing or not. The previous guidelines were more paternalistic, with doctors telling athletes whether they can play or are not allowed to play. This led to many athletes hiding symptoms or being disqualified. Newer guidelines have looked at more recent research studies to determine if restricting individuals actually helps them. Many places found that it's okay for athletes to participate in ways that were not possible 10 or 15 years ago, but it also affects their psychological state severely if they get disqualified from their sport. Changes to the Heart Lili discusses the changes to the heart of elite athletes, including professional athletes, major sports leagues, and Olympic athletes. She explains that the higher level of an athlete, the more likely they are to have more people involved in their care. Studies on elite athletes, such as Tour de France cyclists and Olympic athletes, have shown that those who do high levels of endurance exercise, such as cycling, long-distance running, swimming, and cross-country skiing, tend to have an increase in the size of their heart chambers. The Health Benefits of Exercise The American Heart Association guidelines recommend a minimum of two 30 minute strength training workouts and at least three 30 to 45 minute aerobic exercise workouts of moderate intensity per week. The minimum recommended amount of exercise is two and a half hours per week, spread out throughout the week. For endurance athletes, this may be more than two hours a day. Lili talks about the benefits of exercise, highlighting that there are marginal additional gains up to three to four times the minimum recommended amount. The most significant gain is when one goes from zero hours per week to two or three hours per week of total exercise, up to about eight hours per week. This leads to greater fitness, benefits in blood pressure, cholesterol, reducing the risk of diabetes, and longevity. However, beyond eight or 10 hours per week, there are no additional health benefits. Joining the Race Lili started running in 2006, initially as a fitness exercise but eventually becoming an athlete due to her autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis. She joined the running club and was challenged by a friend to do a triathlon. She initially struggled with swimming, but eventually learned to swim and competed in several distances, including the full Ironman. Lili has run six marathons, mostly short and medium distance triathlons, and has achieved significant accomplishments such as qualifying for the Boston Marathon in 2018 and competing in the Boston Marathon in 2018. However, she also faced joint issues due to her rheumatoid arthritis, which led her to focus more on long distance triathlons. The Growth of the Sports Cardiology Program Lili founded a sports cardiology program based on her clinic, which primarily focuses on athlete patients. The program is also developing a National Registry of masters athletes to study the impact of high exercise levels on athletes' health. The program involves training fellows in cardiology who are interested in sports cardiology. A fellowship program was developed for one fellow, and the first formal graduates completed the program last year. Lili  talks about an annual meeting called "The Care of the Athletic Heart" in Washington, DC, where they organize formal talks, educational symposia, and case presentations to help others get into the field. She also talks about resources and funding for the program.

Edie Perkins was a 46-year-old elite runner and cyclist when a catastrophic accident left her paralyzed from the chest down—just as she was entering menopause. In this candid conversation, Edie reveals how her hormonal changes intersected with her spinal cord injury recovery, leaving her with misdiagnosed UTIs, sheet-soaking night sweats she blamed on her injury, declining bone density, and a huge struggle to sort through her challenges and get quality care. Yet, through all of it, Edie continues to race (finishing second place in the handcycle division of this year's Boston Marathon), ski, and live an active life. We talk about it all and more this week. Edie Perkins served as Executive Director of the Kelly Brush Foundation from 2021 to 2025. She previously spent over twenty years managing businesses and developing curriculum products for Pre-K-12 schools. In 2017, Edie was struck by a driver while riding her bike and suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI). She is now paralyzed from the chest down. Always an athlete and active in the running and cycling communities, she sought out support after her injury and is now a competitive handcyclist and finished second at the 2025 Boston Marathon. She is thrilled to bring together her professional background, passion for sports, and new experience living with an SCI to help others thrive.Resources:The Kelly Brush FoundationGet 25% off all courses through the end of June 2025!

The Boston Marathon in 2013 will always be remembered for those who were there, or those who witnessed the events live on social media. For the first time in American history, The Boston Marathon bombing unfolded live on social media accounts from those at the scene of the crime. This led to federal investigators being able to work much faster in discovering who was behind this violent act of domestic terrorism. To hear the entire episode, please join us at Patreon.com where you can subscribe for as little as $3 per month.  --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

"There's this sense of all these people, they came out to watch you do this weird, crazy thing. And you're running toward the thing you've been working toward for many months, and all of these people are behind you, and people beside you trying to do the same thing. It's very special."
