“My default is trusting and looking for the good. I want to believe that people are telling me the truth when I talk to them. I assume they are. I just generally find that I always give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're honest and well intentioned. Obviously that's not true. But that sort of naïveté, if you will — which definitely led to me getting catfished — has strangely served me well. I'm so glad I got duped by that woman.” Nev Schulman is best known as the star of the 2010 award-winning documentary Catfish, and now as the host of the MTV show of the same name. (My mom knows — and adores — him as the runner-up from Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars.) But when he's not seeking scammers, he's likely on the run. Nev is a 2:58 marathoner who is currently training to run the New York City Half Marathon, where he hopes to run a personal best (sub-1:25). On this episode, Nev talks about what it was like growing up near the New York City Marathon finish line and getting to watch the race with his dad (also a 2:58 marathoner!) every year. He talks about becoming a dad himself (he and his wife have three children) and the unexpected effects of fame on both him and his family. He talks about hitting rock bottom at 19, and about how he learned not to let the hardest time in his life define him forever. And he talks about his empathetic and compassionate outlook on line, and how he's able to remain optimistic in this world, even after being catfished himself. Plus, all about his running story, including how he got started running at age 30, his favorite New York City Marathon memories, and more.

We first spoke with this week's guest, pro distance runner Alia Gray, in person during Olympic Marathon Trials weekend in February in Atlanta. She'd chosen not to run the race despite a qualifying time and an injury-free stretch—a choice made from joy rather than fear, she says, and one she describes at length in this episode.  Instead, she'd set her sights on some different competitions, including the New York City Half Marathon in March and the Olympic Track Trials in June. They were challenges that excited her, in part, because her last couple of injuries—a sacral stress fracture in 2018 and a torn meniscus in 2019—gave her a much-needed rest and also helped her understand and address underlying weaknesses that were holding her back. Of course, since then, the coronavirus pandemic has upended most of those plans. So, we caught up with Alia again in late April to find out how she was faring. Though she'd gone through ups and downs like all of us, she—like so many other athletes we know—has found the same mental techniques that helped her cope with injury useful in navigating this stressful and ever-shifting time.

In this episode, we discuss: How injuries are viewed in pro running, and the “unifying factor” they represent  Why she chose not to run the Olympic Marathon Trials, even though she'd been thinking about it since 2016 (10:32) Speaking of 2016—how she came in 10th place in the Marathon Trials that year, despite having broken her fibula three months earlier and training almost exclusively on the Alter-G Anti-Gravity Treadmill (14:52) Her sacral stress fracture—the most serious injury of her running career—and what it taught her about rest and recovery (19:23) Why she decided to seek psychological therapy during that tough time, and how it's also helped her improve her performance when she's healthy (24:00) The fear, anxiety, and lingering pain she felt after recovering from the stress fracture, and how she coped (28:44) How she navigated her relationship with her husband/coach/sports doctor—Dr. Richard Hansen—and her advice for other injured athletes about communication and relationships (31:31) The way she came to understand her entire injury cycle, and the steps she's taken to “bulletproof” herself as an athlete since (39:24) What self-care means to her, and her advice on using it as an injured athlete (46:38) How her plans changed due to the pandemic, and how she's navigating the new normal using mental skill honed through injury (48:18) You can subscribe to The Injured Athletes Club on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts, and if you like what you hear, please leave us a rating or a review in Apple podcasts.

With Tiffany out this week, Gunnar is joined by Lise-Courtney D'Amico, 25 with cystic fibrosis from New York City, and Stacy Carmona, 32 with cystic fibrosis from Orange County, California. Lise-Courtney and Stacy were connected via Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's CF Peer Connect, which pairs two people with CF in a one-to-one peer mentoring program. Stacy was initially deemed "the mentor," but their friendship has blossomed to something far beyond the intended purpose of the program. The pair share stories with Gunnar about how they inspire each other from across the country, work hard through together through a common exercise class and how Lise-Courtney recently competed in the New York City Half Marathon with their friendship in mind. Gunnar and Lise-Courtney also talk about their time at Boston College where they overlapped one year, and reminisce about the time they ran into each other on campus.

Loser Two passengers aboard Ryan Air flight from Glasgow to Tenerife, Spain A bloody fight between two male passengers broke out on a Ryanair flight over a female passenger “not wearing her shoes on the flight going to the toilet.” Video shows the two men exchanging punches while a female flight attendant tries to break up the brawl. A passenger who recorded some of the fight told the British Press Association the fisticuffs resulted from the woman's lack of footwear.

  In today's episode, I recap my March 4, 2018 Little Rock Marathon Run. It took two attempts, but I finally completed marathon number 2.  But that's only the warmup, because today I'll also share my interview with Guiness Book of World Records record holder Chris Estwanik. In March of 2017, Chris ran the New York City Half Marathon, wearing a business suit, in 1:11. Dude in Business Suit Crushes NYC Half in Record Time. Chris shares how a mile run in gym class in the 8th grade changed his perspective about running from "something you had to do when you did something wrong" to an opportunity for a full ride scholarship at Wake Forest and an opportunity to compete with and against some of the world's best runners.    Introduction and closing song: One Flame to Burn (Prospect 7)   A special thank you to Nicole Williams for sponsoring today's episode through Patreon.   If you would like to comment on this podcast you can contact me and leave a comment at:   My google voice number which will go to a voicemail: 804-496-1112 Email me at: r.keithcartwright@gmail.com You can financially support this mission at my Patreon Page - TwoTim47   Visit my TwoTim47.com website: TwoTim47.com

Molly Huddle is one of the most accomplished American distance runners in history and this weekend, I will lose to her in the New York City Half Marathon. Huddle and I caught up two weeks ago to discuss her plans for the race and the preparation ahead of her final track season. Last season was a marquee year for Huddle as she won the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials 5,000 and 10,000 before breaking Shalane Flanagan's 10,000m American record in the Olympic final. We discussed that strange race and how long it took her to process the results before bouncing back for her marathon debut. We also talk about her feelings toward the marathon and when we could expect her over 26.2 again. Check out the latest episode and subscribe on iTunes.
