Want to get in touch? Send Claire a message!Welcome to Episode 95 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast! I have an Athlete Nutrition Profile for you today, featuring ultrarunner and coach Jes Woods. You may already be familiar with Jes, especially if you live in NYC. She coaches thousands of athletes through Nike Run Club, Brooklyn Track Club, and Brooklyn Trail Club, and has also worked with boutique fitness studios including Mile High Run Club and Flywheel. Jes also is a fierce athlete herself. She competed as a triple jumper for nearly a decade, and then discovered distance running after college while working in broadcasting at NBC. She ultimately embraced the ultra running community, started coaching, and turned fitness into a full-time career. We had a great discussion about her nutrition and how that has changed over time as she transitioned into distance running. We explore how she fuels herself, from the marathon to the 200 mile distance, as well as what she observes and teaches her own athletes. Jes also shares that she hates to cook, and tells us how she keeps herself well-nourished to support her health and very active lifestyle. I hope you enjoy this episode!

This week, we chatted with the amazing Dawn Ebbetts, who won her age group at the 2024 Boston Marathon (her first Boston!). Dawn shares how she trains and runs competitively while avoiding injury. She also shares how her daughter, Brooklyn Track Club founder and Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, Leigh Ann Sharek, helped her train and cross the finish line in 3:46:02. We loved meeting Dawn and hope that our listeners find her as joyful and inspiring as we did. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/runfartherandfaster/message

Sashah and Tim are back with Ned Trim of BKTC to talk about his incredible Chicago performance, how he got out kicked by Shalane Flanagan at NYCM 2021, the best running rap lyrics, and a shoutout to moms.

“I ended up on a dude ranch in Arizona. I just wanted to go far away from New York and from home and just do something completely different. I felt like I'd kind of lost a sense of myself in that pursuit of running really fast and high achievement, so I wanted to recalibrate and go somewhere where no one knew me and running didn't matter.” Henna Rustami is a rising star in the running world. Though she describes herself as "the worst runner" on her high school and college teams, she has gone on to thrive on the run, becoming an Ivy League champion (running for Columbia University) and thriving on the New York City competitive running scene. Most recently, Henna won the NYRR Women's Road Mile division at the Fifth Avenue Mile, breaking the tape in four minutes and 45 seconds. And she's thriving off the run, too: Henna graduated from law school earlier this year! On this episode, Henna reflects on her running journey and her childhood, growing up in Long Island as the daughter of refugees from Afghanistan. She talks about her parents' journeys fleeing Afghanistan in the 1980s, and about what it was like growing up in a Muslim family in the wake of 9/11. She talks about finding confidence on the run, about escaping to a dude ranch for six months, and about what her training looks like today as a member of Brooklyn Track Club.

“I really threw myself into everything that made me uncomfortable.” Happy Bonus Episode Day! Cara Enright is someone I've wanted to have on the show for a long time, and I couldn't decide whether to include her in the Everyday Runner series (a runner with a full-time job and lots of hobbies!) or to share her episode on a Thursday — and so, the solution is a bonus episode, in the middle, today! Cara Enright is a New York City-based runner (and former competitive jump roper!) who works in pharmaceutical recruiting. Last month, Cara and a group of runners (including The Bachelorette's Zac Clark) completed the Goggins Challenge: They ran four miles every four hours for 48 hours straight. On this episode, Cara talks about how she got involved, how she prepared, and what the experience was like. (By the end of the challenge, the group had also raised more than $80,000 for the Release Recovery Foundation.) When she's not working or running through Times Square at 1 AM with her friends, Cara is the women's captain for the Brooklyn Track Club, and is a partner with Free People Movement.

5:56. FIVE FIFTY-SIX! I'm still pinching myself. Last Friday, I ran a mile time trial with a friend with the goal to break 6:00. Well, I did it, and I have the Strava data to prove it. For #HURDLEMOMENT this week, I'm chatting about why the mile distance means so much to me and all the details surrounding the build-up to this particular effort. I offer up my pre-race routine, talk about my strategy going in, share the hardest part of the entire shebang, and how the entire experiment made me feel. (FYI: Super emotional TBH.) A huge, huge thanks to my teammates at Brooklyn Track Club for supporting me on race day, and to the friends, family, and Hurdlers who reached out!

Jeff Gustafson and Kate Gustafson This is one of the interviews I have most looked forward to when contemplating the start of this podcast. The combination of sport and mind strength that’s required to excel at individual sport, and this podcast dissects just that with the Gustafson’s. Siblings who have pursued passion sports to elite levels. Jeff “Gussy” Gustafson as a professional angler competing at the highest level possible, BassMaster Elite Series. Kate Gustafson, a former D1 College Hockey player turned endurance runner with results such as Top 25 at the Boston Marathon and an indoor world record on a Treadmill. What drives individuals to excellence, start here with this interesting web of conversation that discusses importance of mentorship, parental guidance, athletic idols, confidence and belief in yourself.

Jen Rhines is one of the most accomplished American distance runners in history. She's made 15 U.S. national teams including three Olympic teams. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she competed in the 10,000 meters. Four years later, she ran the marathon in Athens. In 2008, she dropped all the way back down to run the 5,000 meters in Beijing. Jen has been an Adidas athlete for more than 20 years. From her website, she boasts that she ranks in the top 10 all-time for the United States in the 3,000 meters, 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters. We chat about her longevity in the sport and how most of her PRs came between the ages of 33 and 36. We'll also learn about her introduction to pro running, what she thinks has attributed to her successes, an inside look at her favorite Olympic memories and much more. Jen currently lives and trains in San Diego, where she helps coach the Golden Coast Track Club alongside her husband Terrence Mahon. For the first time, we have a co-host as Daniel Winn, a professional runner with the Brooklyn Track Club in New York City, joins the show. He was a former teammate of Jen's with the Boston Athletic Association. ▶ Follow Jen on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jenrhines/ ▶ Follow Dana: https://twitter.com/dana_gio6 https://www.instagram.com/dana_gio/ ▶ Follow us: twitter.com/CitiusMag instagram.com/citiusmag facebook.com/citiusmag

On Sunday, June 14th, hundreds of New York City runners gathered at the East River Amphitheatre for a two-mile protest run against racial injustice and police brutality in America. The run was organized by Coffey – who was recently a guest on our show and has emerged as one of the city's most vocal activists in the fight against racism. He called on all New York City runners to come together and run together as one community. He initially expected 40 to 60 people to show up but there were hundreds. It was further proof that everyone in the running community will take the time to run together, protest together, listen together and make change together. After the run, there was a speaker series with crew leaders sharing personal stories of their encounters with racism, what it means to be Black in America and how you can help make a change. Coffey granted us permission to share the audio from the conversation. The speakers are listed below with timestamps so that you can pick up on hearing everything they had to share because it's important. We have also included their respective Instagram handles so you can follow them.

Hi, my name is Emily and I'm one of the many who were signed up to run a marathon this spring. Now that London has been postponed to October (just like Tokyo earlier this year and Boston, too) — I like many of you have the question: What happens next? Today, I'm chatting about this with Nike Running and Brooklyn Track Club trail and ultra coach Jes Woods. We rap about mental strategies to handle the shift, and then exactly what you should do with all of that built up fitness. Should I still run long? Do I need to do intervals? Do I toss my training plan? Answers to all of that. No matter what distance you were gearing up for, we've got the tips you need to handle the unexpected.

To start off the year, we wanted to introduce you to one of the kindest people me and my new co-host (Ryan Welsh) met in 2019. Henna Rustami's name might be familiar if you’re an Ivy League alum because she was a Heps champion. But before she rose to some prominence on the college scene at Columbia, she grew up on Long Island to an immigrant family who left a war-ravaged Afghanistan in the 1980s. Doug Binder of Dye Stat wrote a great story on her in 2017 as she was setting her sights on some school records during the indoor season: https://www.runnerspace.com/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=44531&do=news&news_id=467103 Henna is one of the members of the Brooklyn Track Club in New York City and in addition to balancing her workload as a second-year law student, she’s not giving up on lowering those PRs from college. She wants to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Track Trials and serve as an inspiration for girls who look like her since some role models were lacking when she was growing up. Henna is awesome and we convinced her to join Instagram after we stopped recording. ▶ Follow Henna: https://www.instagram.com/hennarustami/ ❤️ Have your team join The Feed's Club Discount Program.

In recent weeks, there has been much more of a discussion in regards to having more female coaches in the sport. There are already many out there and deserve recognition for their tremendous work. I wanted to personally share the story of coach Kate Gustafson, who has been helping me with my own training but has been doing remarkable things with athletes of all levels for years. She is a coach with Mile2Marathon and helps with the Brooklyn Track Club in New York City. In addition to being a wonderful mentor and coach, she's a great runner as well. She owns a 2:40:10 marathon personal best. She competed in this year's elite field at the Boston Marathon and finished as the top Canadian woman and 34th overall. Most recently, she placed eighth in a hard-fought effort at the Canadian marathon trials held at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Since this summer, Kate has assisted me and my good friend Ryan Welsh in our marathon training. Ryan, who was featured on this podcast a few episodes ago, joins me to co-host this episode. Kate has got tons of awesome stories about growing up in a small town in Canada, playing Division 1 hockey in college, rediscovering an intense passion for running after college, heading to Kenya to run and train with some of the world’s best distance runners, and finding her calling as a fantastic coach for so many up and coming runners. She’s the ultimate champion for women’s sport and someone Ryan and I definitely trust and look up to. You'll walk away from this episode inspired. ▶ Follow Kate: https://www.instagram.com/atrueworld/ | https://www.twitter.com/atrueworld/ ❤️ Support for this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from THE FEED.

Today on the Extra Mile, we're back at the Javits Center in New York City where I spent some time with my buddy Brian Kendrick as he stepped into his first Marathon Expo for his first-ever marathon run. As I've mentioned previously, this year I trained for the marathon with an awesome group called The Brooklyn Track Club, which was where Brian and I met. If you don't know The Brooklyn Track Club and you're a runner in New York City, I highly recommend you check them out. Training with them was so fun and kept me focused, motivated, and making awesome new running friends like Brian.  I knew that I wanted to interview someone for the podcast who was running their first marathon. I've been wanting to capture that buzzing feeling of stepping into the Expo, getting your first number, and experiencing the energy of the space for the first time. So when I asked if this was anyone in our group's first marathon and Brian raised his hand, I thought, “Great! Mission accomplished.” Turns out Brian has a really interesting story, too. Double-win!  Back in March, Brian was in San Diego for a conference and was jumped outside of his hotel. The attack resulted in a long hospital stay and metal plate in his face. It also resulted in his decision to sign up for the New York City Marathon. Two days after her was released, Brian knew he wanted to run a marathon. And he knew he wanted NYC to be his first.  It was a powerful mental and physical motivator for him- a way for him to rebuild the health of mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, he was connected by a friend to the nonprofit City Harvest which became his cause and an added inspiring force.  Brian is fast. He's not just a strong runner; he is a true contender. In this episode, you'll hear him say a number of times, “I just got chills.” I know just what that feels like and I couldn't be more excited for him and his future in this sport. A big thanks for letting me tag along and for sharing his story and experience with us. Best of luck, Brian!  “It's always comeback season.” -Brian Kendrick #EveryMileMatters Follow Brian Learn more about the Brooklyn Track Club Learn more about City Harvest Learn more about Project Moonshot  

“I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself.” I didn't come up with that line but it resonates with me in the thick of my running adventure, now just 9 weeks away from my race. Over the summer as I started marathon training with Nike's Project Moonshot and my new team, Brooklyn Track Club, a lot has happened. This episode talks about getting over myself and just doing the work. 

Continuing the series ahead of the Berlin Marathon, I'd like to introduce you to my closest training partner on the Brooklyn Track Club. The listeners, readers and supporters of CITIUS MAG have been super responsive in me sharing some of my own respective marathon training so we're going to try and capture our experience ahead of the 2019 Berlin Marathon through a series of four podcast episodes. Meet Ryan Welsh. Ryan has run maybe 80% of this training cycle with me and is the reason why I've set off on this crazy idea to chase a Boston Marathon qualifier for 2021. He shares how he found running after a career as a high school and college football player. Through his mother's inspiration, while battling cancer, he decided to sign up for his first marathon. After her passing, he took a break from running but then found it again. Hear how he developed a passion for the sport and then brought that same football-basketball mentality to chase his best on the track and roads.

In the next two weeks, I'd like to introduce you all to two key friends and teammates of mine on the Brooklyn Track Club. The listeners, readers and supporters of CITIUS MAG have been super responsive in me sharing some of my own respective marathon training so we're going to try and capture our experience ahead of the 2019 Berlin Marathon through a series of four podcast episodes. On the first one, I want to share with you is Yosef Herzog. He's been called the "Magic Mike" of stage managers by the Today Show but way before he was preparing to try and BQ, he could barely tie his shoelaces without getting out of breath. His inspiring weight loss story has been told by Today and Men's Health but hear it in his own words. He was a volleyball player at Yeshiva University but that's around the same time that his diet took a turn for the worst. From double-fisting burger to heavy dinners, Yosef let himself go. Hear how the lightbulb turned on for him and got him from barely running a mile on a treadmill to two marathon finishes. Ryan Welsh helps co-host this episode. He will be the next guest. ▶ FOLLOW YOSEF ON INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/yosefherzog He will be bib No. 58169 ❤️ Support for this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from THE FEED.

Cam Erhardt joins the podcast to cap off Pride Month! He is an Olympic Marathon Trials hopeful who trains with Brooklyn Track Club. He started running as a 12-year-old in Texas, found his groove in the Texas High School scene before continuing his career as an NCAA Division 1 runner at San Diego. After college, he made the spontaneous decision to move to New York and then abandoned running to join the Crossfit scene. Around the same time, he came out as gay and never been more himself and never been happier. We’re 100 percent certain that his positivity and outlook on life will be contagious. He’s totally personable, outgoing, hardworking and driven in all aspects of his life. We hope you enjoy his running story.

"It took a while — a lot of runs, a lot of soul searching — to have this confidence now to just show up and say, 'I've earned this. I deserve to be here. I've put in the work to be in this spot.'" Leigh Anne Sharek is the co-founder of the Brooklyn Track Club, which started as an idea a few years ago and has since grown to nearly 250 members. She's the co-host of the Runners of NYC podcast, she's a sub-five-minute miler, and she's a forensic scientist for New York City's chief medical examiner. (So cool!) On this episode, Leigh Anne talks about going from a 4-hour marathon to a 2:41 marathon, and nabbing an Olympic Trials qualifying time. She talks about running with faster people and what it's like when you realize you're fast, and she shares some oh-so-relatable feelings about showing up to her first group run. Leigh Anne, a former gymnast, has become a well-known face on the NYC running scene, and was named one of New York Road Runners' Runners of the Year last year.

“I want to to see how much faster I can get. I know that I can run a faster mile than I have – just based off my 1,500 meter PR alone [3:37.56] since it converts to two seconds faster…Let’s see what a person in New York can do. There’s been plenty of examples and tons of good runners who have lived here over the years so I’m not pioneering anything but let’s see what this is like. I’m not going to do altitude camps. I don’t have a Normatec in my apartment anymore, which I miss dearly. I feel like this happens to people when they retire and they say, ‘I wonder what I could run for a mile right now?’ There’s nothing at stake…” If you were to ask Daniel Winn where he’s from, he’d say New York. That’s not true. He’s originally from Portland, Oregon and graduated from the University of Oregon but his heart has always drawn him to New York City. On this episode, you’ll learn a lot about how he went from a walk-on on the Ducks’ track team to very briefly into the indoor mile record holder. He was a finalist and placed 8th at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials 1,500 meter final. He currently trains with the Brooklyn Track Club. In addition to his love for running, Daniel is also a comedy writer and overall great guy. With plenty of funny stories to share, it’s easy to see how we ended up with the longest episode of Runners of NYC yet.

"Start stuff. If you believe in something, just start it." —Mary Wittenberg It was an honor to host this live show at New York Road Runners the day before the United Airlines NYC Half. I was joined by four exemplary leaders in the running community: Mary Wittenberg, former NYRR and Virgin Sport president and CEO; Christine Burke, VP of Strategic Partnerships and Runner Products at NYRR; Leigh Anne Sharek, co-founder of Brooklyn Track Club; and Carly Gill, a 2:47 marathoner and one of the women behind Runner Braids. These women candidly shared their stories of success, failure, and what it's like to feel shaken to your core or rattled with insecurity. They talked about starting movements, social media, FOMO, and dealing with injury, and we talked about how to make running more inclusive. We wrapped it all up with a very special audience-participation-required edition of the Sprint to the Finish.

“My friend, Jordan, actually commented my Instagram when I announced I wasn’t running the marathon. He said, ‘The comeback is greater than the setback.’ It really became a mantra for me for that whole year. My mantra when I was in the training was ‘Come back stronger’ and I did. It wasn’t just running. It was life.” Zac Price joins the Runners of NYC Podcast to share his story of how he found running late in his life and has "become a better person mentally and physically" as a result. We dive into how the loss of a friend got him into racing and the philanthropic aspect of running. How a toxic relationship led him to discover the Project Moonshot and training for the New York City Marathon. However, Zac also shares how injuries prevented him from making that first marathon happen but still managed to prove that the comeback is greater than the setback.

Introduction: Today’s guest is one of CBRE’s rising stars, namely Zachary Price. Zac, who is a Vice President in their Global Advisory & Transaction Services group, is responsible for business development and transaction implementation on behalf of clients he secured, as well as several of CBRE’s global and prominent regional corporate clients. Zac, who possesses a tireless work ethic, was recognized a few years ago by the Commercial Observer as one of their “30 Under 30” elite group of up-and-comers in NYC commercial real estate. When he is not channeling Bruce Springsteen’s song “Out in the Street” by pounding the pavement to make a difference for his clients, he is busy piggybacking on Bruce’s mantra of “Born to Run,” as his passion for life extends to the manner in which he wind sprints in the NYC Marathon, with a time that approaches breaking the 3-hour mark.   Episode Notes: At 2:21, Zac discusses the importance of leaving a great first impression. At 3:25, Price talks about the industry specific market groups at CBRE, and how he goes about accumulating knowledge through these groups. At 4:34, he shares beginning his real estate career at Cushman Wakefield in 2007 on Long Island, and his path to joining CBRE in their downtown New York City office. At 6:20, Zac notes that the most important facet in his life is that of giving back and helping others. At 7:02, Price informs us that he is running in the Chicago Marathon in October. At 7:40, he dives into his negotiating style and the “iceberg.” At 9:06, Zac touches upon how he builds trust and navigates a deal with his clients. At 9:59, Price mentions that he is a big believer in a team structure, and why one must prioritize by separating what is to “do” from what is “due.” At 11:59, he speaks about how he is continually tapping into the different resources within the various service lines at CBRE. At 13:32, Zac talks about the most rewarding words a client has told him. At 15:29, Price states that he is locked in 24/7 to this business, but always creates time to reset the mind. At 16:55, he shares that he likes the method of polite persistence in following up with a prospective client. At 17:50, Zac notes that downturns create opportunity, and feels that one must learn to adapt to the current conditions in the marketplace. At 22:02, Price discusses persistently calling and canvassing years in advance of a lease expiring in the hopes of scoring a client. At 24:50, he informs us of his thoughts pertaining to social media, and that he scored one of his best meetings off of LinkedIn. At 26:56, Zac stresses that one must recognize when they don’t know the answer, and find the expert who does. At 29:22, Larry Haber asks Zac a hypothetical “what would you do in this situation” type of question. At 33:34, Price believes that if one is exploring the office leasing arena, one needs to be at a firm with a large platform with a great depth of resources. At 35:38, he shares that running has changed his life for the better, and that he met his new best friends through Brooklyn Track Club. At 38:47, Zac Price closes the podcast with a message on work-life balance, and having fun with it (it’s just real estate).

"I wanted to see if I could do it. And then once I did it, I wanted to see what else I could do." —Yosef Herzog For most people, 3:30 AM is the middle of the night. For Yosef Herzog, it's time to get to work. As stage manager for NBC's Today show, Yosef starts his day early. As a two-time marathon runner, he ends it late. Yosef is on set at NBC by 4:30 AM, leaves after the show wraps at 11 AM, and then runs in the evenings with Brooklyn Track Club. On this episode, he talks about making it all work, shares why he decided to leave his steady, well-paying career in finance to get into television, and opens up about his impressive 50-pound weight loss. Plus, he talks about what it's like working at the Olympics, and what it was like meeting the Obamas. Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show!

The second guest on the Runners of NYC Podcast is a forensic scientist by day and a running legend by night—or at least by early evening. Leigh Anne Sharek was once was called "a minor celebrity in the New York City running scene" by the New York Times (Link to the article below). She runs for the Brooklyn Track Club, which is one of the fastest-growing running groups and meets on Tuesday nights at the East River track in Manhattan. Leigh Anne has evolved into one of the top local women at distances ranging from the mile to the marathon. She is currently ramping up her mileage to chase an Olympic Trials Qualifier at the 2018 California International Marathon in December. We delve into Leigh Anne's emergence as a leader for the Brooklyn Track club, how she became a runner, and what keeps her running. You can follow Leigh Anne on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/wicked.la/ Follow Brooklyn Track Club on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/brooklyntrackclub/ For more information on the group, feel free to message the Instagram page or email coach Steve Finley at stepfinley@gmail.com.
