Episode Summary:What if every mile you ran was a prayer for a sick child? In this deeply inspiring episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with ultra-endurance athlete and founder of the Praying Ninja Warrior Foundation, Nick Apicella.Together, they explore how prayer, suffering, and radical endurance can become powerful expressions of faith, love, and support for children facing life-threatening illness. Nick shares his recent completion of the grueling Tahoe 200—a 200-mile ultra-marathon run in honor of over 900 children battling cancer and rare diseases.But this isn't about medals or personal records. It's about sacrifice. It's about holding space for suffering. It's about carrying the weight of grief, hope, and intercession with every step.

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. For Episode 69, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix and co-hosts Thomas Stott and Megan Storms discuss the word of doom, "Injuries." Injuries are never on the training plan, but every runner eventually faces them. What matters most is how you respond in the first few minutes, the first few days, and the weeks that follow. In this episode, we walk through the full arc of dealing with an injury, from that initial “uh-oh” moment to your first cautious steps back on the trail. Topics include: Triage on the Spot: How to tell if it's a soft-tissue tweak or a hospital trip. Mindset Matters: Why your brain chemistry shifts in the first five minutes, and how to ground yourself in what to do now. Training Setback → Opportunity: Reframing your outlook, setting up support, and dropping the unnecessary stress of “racing through it.” The Real Return-to-Run Checklist: It's not just about time. We dig into pain-free walking, stairs, range of motion, strength, eccentric control, and even hopping tests before lacing up again. Protocols that Work: Run-walk reintroductions, flat terrain starts, and why consistency still trumps intensity. Plus, surprising strategies like gentle uphills (for everyone except Achilles injuries). The Nintendo Reset Button: Use downtime to build where you've been weak—slower paces, mobility, breathwork, hydration, connective tissue health. Healing on Nature's Timeline: Understanding the cellular phases of repair—inflammatory (days), proliferation (weeks), remodeling (months)—so you can respect the process instead of fighting it. Whether you're sidelined today or just want tools for the future, this episode is a guide to resilience, patience, and coming back stronger.

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Tara Welling — a former professional runner who raced for Nike and Skechers — to hear her powerful story of grit, growth, and finding joy again in the sport she loves.Tara takes us back to her first miles in elementary school, through her rise to the professional circuit, and into the realities most people never see — the burnout, the pressure, and the struggles with body image that came with competing at the highest level. She shares how stepping away from the sport allowed her to rebuild a healthier relationship with running, one rooted in balance, joy, and self-respect.We also talk about what it's like to run during pregnancy, the transition into motherhood, and how she's now pouring her experience into coaching. Through her work with RunDoyen, Tara helps runners of all abilities tap into personalized training, the right mindset, and the power of community support.This conversation will remind you that running is not just about chasing times — it's about chasing what lights you up inside. Whether you're chasing a PR or simply trying to fall in love with running again, Tara's story will leave you inspired to run your own race.Tara Welling is a former professional runner for Nike and Skechers, a 2x National Champion in the Half Marathon and 15k, and a 4x U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifier (2012 – 10k & 5k track, 2016 – 10k & 5k track, 2020 – marathon, 2024 – marathon).Now a coach with RunDoyen and a mom of two, Tara combines her elite-level experience with a personalized, supportive approach to help runners of all levels reach their goals — whether that's chasing a PR, building consistency, or finding joy in the process.If you want to connect with her, you can find her at the links below!tara.erdmann11@gmail.comhttps://www.rundoyen.com/https://www.instagram.com/tara_welling/00:21 Tara's Early Running Journey02:41 Choosing Running Over Soccer05:54 College Running Experience07:11 Body Image and Nutrition in Running12:20 Training and Motherhood19:16 Professional Running Career22:02 Burnout and Rediscovering Joy in Running26:23 Training with Sketchers28:57 Finding Joy in Running29:44 Running During Pregnancy33:23 Balancing Motherhood and Running33:42 Olympic Trials Experience40:34 Coaching Philosophy and Approach43:41 Personalized Training PlansJoin the Real Life Runners Team today! https://www.realliferunners.com/teamJoin the Team! --> https://www.realliferunners.com/team Thanks for Listening!!Be sure to hit FOLLOW on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast player Leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this conversation, Tommie Runz and Herm discuss the challenges of transitioning from half marathons to full marathons, emphasizing the importance of proper training and preparation for ultra-marathons. They also delve into sports analysis, particularly basketball and hockey, highlighting the evolution of athleticism and the changing dynamics of sports.

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love the planted runner Claire gives great advice on how to make the most out of each run. I look forward to listening to each episode and love the advice on nutrition as well. Claire, one suggestion. Can we hear more interviews from slower runners? (Not those that say I'm slow but still run 8 min miles. I'm talking back of the pack 11-15 min pace.) Mel@Mal  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mental Strength! I found The Planted Runner blog and podcast when I was in the midst of training for my first half marathon this past spring. Coach Claire's information on a variety of running topics have really helped as a beginner; I especially love the mental strength minute segment! I never thought that running would be a part of my life, but I started a running habit in order to combat postpartum depression. I'm so thankful to have this podcast as a resource so that I can continue to train in an intelligent way, with a lower chance of injury. In the fall, I am planning to run my second half marathon. I am so excited to start my Half Marathon training plan from The Planted Runner in a few weeks.

Pulling up to this episode is like pulling up to your local library... it's got a little bit of everything in it, except for hopefully those pesky midwestern ticks. The episode opens with the usual intro banter, where Des characterizes Kara as being in "librarian mode." If Kara is the librarian, then that makes Des the person who is relentlessly trying to make you laugh in there. Thus, we are off to a good start riffing about summers in the midwest, travel, and camps.  Kara talks about winning an Emmy(!) and about Colt graduating from 8th grade and being on the precipice of both driving and high school. Des shares about her prep for the upcoming Western States training camp. Is she ready to enter the shallower end of one of the most historic 100-milers in the world? Plus, they bond over their mutual hatred of ticks before turning to discuss their impressions of season one for Grand Slam Track (GST). What do they think so far? Where could it be improved? Will it move the needle on interest in our sport? Then, they react to a RW article on influencers and phones in races. Should they be allowed? Where is the line to be drawn? Is it good for the sport or just annoying? Finally, they end with a Lagoon Sleep top 5 where Des questions her chinchilla ways as they both share uplifting moments from their weeks.  If you love the pod, support our partners and the pod in the following ways...
