Welcome to the very first OFFICIAL week of Chicago Marathon training! Whether you're on a treadmill or just hanging out on a run, lace up and join me for a 35-minute run for week 1 run 1 of my 16-week Marathon Build For The Chicago Marathon! BQ or Bust started in 2016 as a moonshot goal for me to take my marathon time from 3 hours 59 minutes to 3 hours 35 minutes which, at the time, was my Boston Marathon Qualifying Time (BQ). I vlogged the entire experience and had to rumble with perfectionism, a fear of failure, and pre-defined limits. I was given the opportunity to explore beliefs that were holding me back and given space to grow and change. After a few attempts of falling short, 9 years later I'm trying again. Originally, I thought I aged up. I was back to 3 hours 35 minutes. Then, the qualifying times changed AGAIN and I'm back to 3:30. But like I learned, the only way you can fail is if you fail to try! DARE TO FAIL. WHY NOT!?!? In this episode, we dive into: -I'm injured! Week 1 and I have a little overuse injury. -Defining our why -What I focus on at the start of a marathon build -The heat -What I want out of this marathon build. This go-around is different. Yes, a 3 hour 30 minute marathon is still my North Star, but honestly? The bigger goal is to see what I'm truly capable of. WHY NOT? Now that I'm a running coach with years of experience under my belt, I'm approaching this from a totally new place. This series is my chance to push back on so much of the terrible advice I see online. Running is complicated—and if you're an everyday runner, you cannot just mimic what people running 50+ mile weeks are doing. Here, we're focusing on:  ✅ How to make training work for your life ✅ How to avoid burnout ✅ How to have more fun chasing your dreams Throughout the BQ or Bust series, you'll get: ✔️ Weekly "Run With Me" treadmill episodes ✔️ Weekly roundup vlog and podcast episode to keep you in the loop   ✔️ Social media hits WHY NOT? Let's find out what's possible—together.

I am bringing you a reair of a terrific episode. I'm taking this one-week break because I've been working on a new project that we just announced, and that I know you'll be excited about: the podcast EARTHMOVERS, with Alison Mariella Désir, Stefanie Flippin, Verna NezBegay Volker. It will launch Aug 14. Keep up with news and information about EARTHMOVERS now on Instagram: @EARTHMOVERSpodcast. I'll be back next week with a new episode of WRS. In the meantime, this is a great one: enjoy again or for the first time. Wynonna Curely-Fulgham first discovered the life-changing impact running could have on her during her Kinaaldah, the Navajo puberty ceremony. She's carried the teaches from that transformative time into her adult life. Wynonna has continued to be drawn to running, and specifically ultra trail running, as a way to test her own limits and also to process life's challenges and find her peace. It is a deep well of connection, discovery, and release: a physical endeavor that is also spiritual and healing. In this episode, Wynonna shares the story of the pivotal moments she's experienced in ultra trail running, up through today. Her journey includes taking part in the Transrockies, a multi-day stage running race that takes place in Colorado, traveling through the mountains and over peaks, at altitude. Wynonna often runs as a member of the Native Women Run team. Wynonna's story is powerful and beautiful. One women's incredible journey of self-discovery, evolution, and inspiration.

The boys are running on fumes (and mulch) after a week of marathon training and yard work, but they're rallying for a gorgeous, low-stress evening in sweet, sweet Chicago. We kick things off reminiscing about last week's antics and lay out the game plan for tonight. Joe swings in with a recap of the Spider-Man exhibit, and we somehow pivot from superhero webs to the tangled mess of this week's politics—or lack thereof. Yes, Trump had a birthday parade (?!), and the "No Kings" protest made us ask, "Wait... do we have kings?" Then it's on to the news buffet: the new Nintendo Switch, Happy Gilmore 2 (finally!), rising tensions between Israel and Iran, and the heartbreaking plane crash in India. Don't worry—we wrap it all up with some feel-good stories and a surprise guest all the way from Italy to lift the vibes. Grab a drink and get ready — it's another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!

Send us a textJamie Elliott's journey from smoker to marathon runner begins at age 38 during her daughter's cancer treatment at St. Jude. What started as a way to quit cigarettes evolved into a powerful mission of philanthropy and personal achievement that spans over two decades.With remarkable candor, Jamie shares how she began running without technical gear, training plans, or even proper knowledge of running mechanics - simply buying "pretty shoes" and hitting country roads near her Kentucky home. Her progression defies conventional wisdom: skipping 5Ks and 10Ks entirely, Jamie jumped straight to walking a half marathon before tackling a full marathon the following year.The heart of Jamie's story lies in her fundraising work as a St. Jude Hero, raising over $200,000 for the hospital that treated her daughter's osteosarcoma. "I'm not really a runner, I'm a fundraiser who happens to run," she explains, revealing how purpose drives her participation in events from local 5Ks to major marathons like New York and Marine Corps.Jamie's perspective on aging and adaptation resonates deeply throughout our conversation. After being diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica, an autoimmune condition affecting her large joints, she embraced the Galloway run-walk method, discovering she could maintain performance while reducing pain and recovery time. At 58, with plans to run Chicago Marathon when she turns 60, Jamie embodies the spirit that running has no expiration date.Perhaps most powerful is the wisdom Jamie shares for all runners: "Someday I won't be able to do this, but today is not that day." Her story reminds us to cherish our ability to move, to use our running for greater purposes, and to never let age or circumstance define what's possible when passion meets perseverance.Want coaching that helps you find your purpose in running?

This is a live recording from Sunday, April 20 at the Boston Marathon Expo. Once again, WRS host Cherie Turner teamed up with Julie Sapper and Lisa Levin from the Run Farther and Faster podcast to co-host an excellent panel. This year's panel was titled Mental Strategies for Mastering the Marathon, and it featured exceptional masters marathoners Stephanie Bruce, Erica Stanley-Dottin, and Dot McMahon. These exception runners shares wisdom and experience on strategies for developing mental strength and resilience, mental approaches to the marathon, how to build confidence when you have self-doubt, and so much more! This is an episode to listen to again and again; it's so backed with helpful advice and useful takeaways. Stephanie Bruce, 41, has been racing professionally for over 15 years. Among her many racing accomplishments, she's placed 6th at the Chicago Marathon, and 10th at the London and NYC marathons. Bruce has also earned 3 national titles on the road, one in the half-marathon and twice in the 10k. Additionally, Bruce placed 6th at the Olympic Marathon Trials in 2020. Bruce started a new chapter in her running career this year, signing on with Tracksmith. She now runs for them professionally and will be helping to mentor younger runners going after big goals. Erica Stanley-Dottin, 51, came to marathoning later in life, at age 35. In her early 40s, she began to train seriously and joined the Black Roses racing team. She then learned about The List: an accounting of all the American-born Black women who have broken 3 hours in the marathon. As she continued to get faster at the marathon, this became her goal. Erica met that goal with room to spare at the 2022 Berlin Marathon where she ran 2:52, at 48 years old. That came just six months after running 3:01 at Boston. This year, Stanley-Dottin ran the Boston Marathon as a member of Team Bevans, in honor of marathon pioneer Marilyn Bevans. Dot McMahan, 48, has been running marathons for 19 years and she's run for the Hanson Brooks Original Distance Project team for 20. Among Dot's many accomplishments over her long running career, she's qualified for and run 5 Olympic trials marathons, and she has placed in the top 10 at two of them. Last year, she was the oldest woman to compete in the marathon trials, and she qualified for last year's trials by running 2:35 at the 2023 Grandma's Marathon. Dot is also a running coach. She works with private athletes and as an assistant track coach for Oakland University.

There's a powerful truth about running that rarely gets discussed: getting older doesn't mean getting slower – it means leveling up differently. As our bodies change, we unlock new capabilities that can make running even more rewarding in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.Coach Christine, your "fairy run mother," breaks down exactly what changes with age (like that 1% VO2 max decline annually after 30) and what actually improves (hello, mental grit and endurance capacity!). She presents ten game-changing practices for older runners, from prioritizing strength training to hydrating smarter as our thirst response dulls. For female athletes navigating perimenopause and menopause, she offers specific strategies to work with hormonal fluctuations rather than fighting against them.The episode features Dennise, a remarkable two-time cancer survivor returning to the Chicago Marathon twenty years after her first attempt.

This episode features longtime professional runner, entrepreneur, mother of three, wife, and so much more, Stephanie Bruce. In this episode Bruce, who is 41, shares the purpose and passion that's driving her these days, as she moves into a new chapter in her running career. It's a time of transition and exciting new paths forward. As a professional runner in her early 40s, Bruce shares valuable experience and information about what it looks like to age as a elite athlete, and how she's processing it. She continues to explore what's possible as a professional athlete, and also how she's making that happen–how she's navigating the changes that come with getting older. Bruce has been racing professionally for over 15 years, and in that time she has accomplished so much as a runner, and she's not done yet. Some of her many career achievements include 10th at the New York City and London marathons; 6th at the Chicago Marathon; 12th at the Boston Marathon; 3 national championship titles–once in the half marathon, and two times in the 10k; 6th at the 2020 Olympic Trials Marathon–and the list goes on. But the significance of Bruce's pro career goes way beyond times and places. She's been very open about her running journey and how she's navigating living a full life outside of running, including having her three children–Hudson, Riley and Sophia–while continuing to show up year after year ready to perform at her best. Bruce is known for being a tough, smart, gritty racer and a powerful supporter of teammates, as well as other runners in the field.  Last year, 2024, was a big transition year for Bruce: for the past decade, Bruce was a member of the HOKA Northern Arizona Elite team, also known as NAZ Elite. She learned part-way through 2024 that her contract wouldn't be renewed, and her time with the team would be over at the end of year. In addition, Bruce had her third child, at age 39, in September 2023, which meant that 2024 would be a postpartum return to full time training and racing. This is all to say, 2024 was a tumultuous year for Bruce. And she gets into it all in this episode. She also shares the pivotal experiences in her life that have played a huge part in shaping how she shows up for running and for life.

BIO: Akil Taher is a practicing physician living in Atlanta, GA. At 76 years young, he is a septuagenarian athlete, an eternal optimist, explorer, and adventurer, who in 2010, at the age of sixty-one, dramatically altered the conventional script adopted by most bypass surgery patients by undertaking a mountaineering trek to Mount Kailash in Tibet. Defying expectations with this accomplishment only a year after open-heart surgery, Dr. Akil then stretched to run his first full marathon in October 2011, the Chicago Marathon; and in September 2012, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Dr. Taher expanded the canvas of his age-defying adventures by pursuing physically challenging activities on land, sea, and air, including a century bike ride (a 100-mile cycling event), triathlon, white water rafting, hang gliding, and skydiving and bungee jumping. Over the last decade, he has overcome acute and chronic medical ailments by transforming his mind, body, and spirit through the adoption of a plant-based diet, regular exercise, the practice of yoga and meditation, and developing a positive and purpose-driven mindset. Dr. Akil authored his first book in 2021, Open Heart, as a chronicle of this transformational journey and his exploits since his heart surgery. Today, he shares his story, wisdom, and medical knowledge far and wide, to spread the message and educate thousands about living a heart-healthy lifestyle and using food as medicine.   OPEN HEART: The Transformational Journey of a Doctor Who, After Bypass Surgery at 61, Ran Marathons and Climbed Mountains is available in Softcover, Kindle, and Audible at: https://amzn.to/3sy299g  All proceeds from book sales go to charity.

Hello and welcome to Episode 5-502 of the RunRunLive Podcast. This week we'll repost a recording I did earlier in the week with Adam and his daughter Cassidy. Adam and I go way back to the beginning of the running podcast explosion. He and Eddie Marathon and I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2012, maybe, I dunno, would have to check the pictures. This is a long recording so I'll skip the philosophizing for the week. The topic we kind of talk about is why you should consider getting a coach, (among other topics). But, I do think a good coach is like a good team member, where they fill in strength in areas you may be weaker. They help you see and avoid the patterns in you self-destructive behavior. This is where so many ‘get-better' behaviors go awry. We think people aren't doing what they think and say they want to be doing, because they don't have the knowledge or the information. That's seldom the case. The knowledge is freely available. There's actually too much information. There are probably 10 -20 reasons they are not changing or adapting behavior on the list above ‘lack of knowledge' – and those are the things that a coach can help with. Accountability and structure alone are major needs for me to be successful. I don't need coaches, I need parents! But you see what I'm saying. The coach can help you find what those blockers are and get around them. Anyhow – if you need the unique type of coach that Adam is, give him a call, he's in a place in his life, like I am, where helping other people is really fun. …Outro:OK campers you have chit-chatted you're way through the end of episode 5-502 of the RunRunLive podcast, now you can go back to hiding under the bed like a border collie in a thunderstorm. I'm back running this week. My weight is on target. My fitness is good.But of course I had a setback. I got sick. So let me tell you my story. I heard you like stories. I had my race stuff on. I was getting ready to get in the car and head up to Salisbury to race the Hangover Classic 10K and jump in the ocean. When my phone rang. And I'm not going to go into the horrifying state of the American health care system but Instead of racing I spent the day hanging around in hospital emergency room with my mom, who it turns out had Covid. I don't think I caught Covid, at least the test kit doesn't think I caught Covid, but I caught something. I should have been doing a big build weekend for my marathon, but instead skipped those workouts.I'm just now getting back to it, but I'm less than a month out from the target race with a long run right now of 13 miles. So it's going to be another learning experience, although I think I know this lesson by heart, but we can always hope for the ‘marathon miracle'. And that's it. Got 2-3 weeks of build left. Let's see what I can do! And we'll see you out there. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
