This week I'm diving into one of my favorite topics: Setting and achieving uncomfortable goals. We all naturally gravitate toward comfort and predictability, but what if the most transformative experiences lie just beyond that cozy zone?In this solo, I'm unpacking what "uncomfortable goals" truly are – not impossible feats, but those aspirations that stretch you, challenge your current limits, ignite a mix of fear and excitement, and demand a significant mindset shift. From running a distance you never thought possible to starting a passion project or having a difficult conversation, these are the hurdles that lead to profound self-discovery.IN THIS EPISODE(6:20) I talk about the first really uncomfortable goal that I see in my adult life(7:38) Chicago Marathon recap(7:55) How do you know if a goal is uncomfortable enough?(10:05) Why your core values are important when goal setting(10:29) Two questions you can ask yourself when trying to articulate your values(15:30) Why you shouldn't think of fear as a stop sign (16:15) The power of and/both(21:21) The mantras I use when things feel scary on the journey to my goals(26:12) What going to an improv class taught me about getting outside of my comfort zoneSOCIAL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@emilyabbate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@hurdlepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OFFERSPILLAR | Head to PillarPerformance.shop, or for North American customers, head to ⁠⁠⁠TheFeed.com⁠⁠⁠ and use the code "HURDLE" for 15% off your first purchase.FUTURE | Go to ⁠⁠⁠future.co/hurdle⁠⁠⁠ to get 50% off your first month of personal training!JOIN: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Daily Hurdle IG Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Weekly Hurdle Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASK ME A QUESTION: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email hello@hurdle.us to ask me a question!⁠⁠⁠

Welcome to Week 2 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the Chicago Marathon with one goal in mind: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you want an inside look at how a running coach tackles marathon training, you're in the right place. In this vlog, I take you through a very real-life training week—one that didn't go exactly to plan. I was in Cincinnati for the 4th of July, the week got a little chaotic, and I didn't hit every run I wanted to. But we're not chasing perfection—we're building momentum. This week's workouts included:

"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!

Welcome to Week 1 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the Chicago Marathon with one goal in mind: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you want an inside look at how a running coach tackles marathon training, you're in the right place. In this vlog, I take you day-by-day through my first week of marathon training, sharing how I'm handling an early overuse injury, defining my why, dealing with summer heat, and setting the tone for the next 16 weeks. From adjusting mileage to balancing life, this series is all about making marathon training work for everyday runners, avoiding burnout, and having more fun chasing big goals. The only way you fail is if you fail to try. WHY NOT?! Throughout the BQ or Bust series, you'll get: Weekly "Run With Me" treadmill episodes new every Friday Weekly roundup vlog + podcast episodes new every week depending on when I get them edited :) Real talk about training, the mental game, and the ups and downs of chasing big dreams 

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.

In this episode, we were in conversation with Ron Mann, a distinguished coach who has been and still is a guiding force to some of the fastest long distance runners in the world. Coach Ron takes us through his journey of training the Korir brothers, Wesley and John, who went on to win the Boston Marathon in 2012 and 2025 respectively. Coach Ron also touches upon what a training regimen looks like for an elite marathoner and how amateur runners can implement those techniques in their training plans. We also learned about his collaborative initiative in Kenya called the Transcend Talent Academy which identifies and nurtures talents by helping them with their education and training.Know more about Coach Ron Mann : https://coachronmann.com/About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

This week's Run With Me is a little different... I'm not running!

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!

Colin spent a year training for his first marathon—navigating weight loss, injury recovery, and every mental hurdle that comes with starting from scratch. In this episode, he shares the full story of how he went from going through all the emotions watching the Chicago Marathon livestream to crossing the finish line at Hayward Field in Eugene. His transformation is equal parts inspiring, relatable, and deeply personal. Even more special, I got to run the Eugene Marathon alongside him. We talk about what it's really like to share a race with someone for 26.2 miles, the highs and lows of the course, and the moment everything almost fell apart at mile 25.9. Whether you've run one marathon or none, this story will remind you why we keep showing up to the start line. Follow along with Colin on TikTok at @ccbloodworth !  Follow along with the show:

We were so thrilled to welcome one of our amazing Boston Marathoners, Lauren Hitchens, to the podcast.Lauren is an experienced marathon runner, having completed ten marathons since 2016, including all six Marathon Majors. She set her PR of 3:38:35 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon, qualifying her for the 2025 Boston Marathon, her first. In spring 2024, after successfully running the Tokyo Marathon, Lauren experienced pain in her foot that has taken her on a journey of seeking a path to healing that has required multiple expert opinions, an unconventional approach to training for Boston (including the use of tools like Lever and Fluid Running), and a reimagining of her goals for her first Boston. Lauren balances her training with her responsibilities as a mother and business executive at Google. We are so grateful to Lauren for sharing her inspiring story!

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. Her goal? Completing all six World Marathon Majors – a challenge she embraced after beating cancer twice. "Why can't I have the six stars?" she asks, perfectly capturing the "why not" attitude that makes running in our later years so powerful. Dennise shares how her 83-year-old father still runs daily and how he inspired her journey, and she shares her creative fundraising effort of making marathon-themed gnomes for charity. Get yours here!Whether you're already in your "wisdom runner" years or approaching them, this episode reframes aging as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. As Coach Christine reminds us, "You're not slowing down, you're evolving," and extraordinary has no expiration date. Ready to discover running's secret power that only comes with age?

"I want to go out there and just absolutely smash it out of the park." Next week, the pros and everyday runners alike will descend on Boston, MA, to run the 129th Boston Marathon. For most of these runners, getting to run Boston is a longtime goal or dream. One they worked hard at for years. And that's true even for professional runner Gabi Rooker.

Gabi will race her first Boston this year, and it's been a journey to get to the start line.

Plus, what she'll be wearing on race day, what it's like being coached by her husband, Alex, and how she's feeling after logging 122-mile weeks throughout the Minnesota winter.
