“I think the thing that characterizes DII, DIII and NAIA athletes is that they're super passionate about running in a way that differs from DI athletes. I always see the DIII guys and gals who are going to keep running well after college. They love it and that's why they're going to the smaller schools out of high school – because they want that opportunity to keep running. There's way more passion rather than ‘I'm the best at this and there's a scholarship on the line so I may as well do it.'” The Lap Count's Kyle Merber and Noah Droddy, 2:09 marathoner and D3 Glory Days Podcast host, talk through their experience covering the 2023 NCAA Cross Country Championships. Kyle was on the call for the ESPN broadcast for Division I while Noah was behind the mic for the Division III stream on YouTube. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

Today's guest is Maggie Montoya  Montoya ran Division I track while attending Baylor University leading the college to the NCAA Championships in her final season placing second and earning the All-Region honours at NCAA South Central Regional in a season-best 6,000-meter time of 20:21:7. Following college, Montoya moved to Boulder, CO to join the Roots Running Project, training with fellow Salomon athlete Noah Droddy. Within five years of training with the group, she has hit several personal records, including a 32:06:87 10K that earned her a spot in the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials and a recent 15:19 5K at the MT SAC Relays in April 2022. Montoya has her sights set on the Chicago Marathon in 7 weeks' time.  Maggie has been on a profound journey of healing after surviving a mass shooting at her place of work on March 22nd 2021 where tragically ten people lost their lives. She has been sharing her experience of what happened in order in order to help shift the narrative about how people feel about gun laws.  In this conversation, we talk about that period in her life, her journey into running and her recent signing with Salomon.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thebigrunpodcast/message

In  this episode,  I interview two-time Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier and author of “The Boy Behind the Door,” Emma Kertesz. She lives in Boulder, Colorado with her husband Noah Droddy and their two elderly rescue dogs. Emma is a self-proclaimed “serious hobbyist” who trains with Boulder Underground and is coached by Evan Schwartz and Matt Hensley. When she's not running, working, or recording her podcast, you can find her taking a three-hour nap every Saturday after the long run.In our interview, she shares how she went through the painful process of redefining her relationship with distance running — and her identity — when she stepped back from the sport. We also discuss her book, “The Boy Behind the Door,” the role intergenerational trauma played (and still plays) in her life, her bipolar diagnosis and what helps her manage it (including lots of discussion around ketamine therapy), what the media tends to get wrong about bipolar, her creative process as a writer and podcaster, her Native American heritage, and so much more. Real Fit is a women's fitness podcast, where you can hear deep, soulful (and funny) conversations between author, journalist, and intuitive eating coach Pam Moore and women athletes who inspire her.

Vi möter Noah Droddy, Amerikanen som i slutet av 2020 slog till med 2.09.09 på maraton (och som har löparvärldens bästa mustache). Noah har inte haft en spikrak väg till framgång utan har vid flertalet tillfällen begrundat sin plats i löparvärlden. Hur vänder man motgång till framgång? Och hur kommer man tillbaka från dåliga resultat?

In 2016, Noah Droddy finished dead last in the US 10K Track Trials as an unsponsored athlete who was relatively new to the pro ranks. In 2021, Noah Droddy is now the 9th fastest US marathoner of all-time, and to the surprise of many, is again unsponsored. On the US top 10 list, he's listed with big names like Ryan Hall, Dathan Ritzenhein, and Meb Keflezighi, and yet Noah works full-time at SOS Hydration to make ends meet amidst a professional running world that doesn't always make sense. Sponsored or not, he seems happy, and he's ready to continue chasing his dreams on the road at the NYC Marathon on November 7th.  Sponsored or not, Noah is also unabashedly himself and not afraid to tell it like it is. In this episode, he shares all about his journey from underdog runner in high school in Indiana and at Depauw University to one of the very fastest American marathoners of all-time. He speaks truth about the ups and downs in his story and then isn't afraid to name names on the topics of doping and clean sport. (Yes, he went there.) We are big fans of Noah and know you will be too. He tells us that he has a big announcement coming on November 4th, and we hope that means a new sponsor sees what we see too!

“I think it's because we're always measuring ourselves—everything we do is measured. You go out for an easy run, you see your pace, you compare it to how fast you ran yesterday. You go to a race, you finish 10th, or you're a minute off your PB—or you PB by a minute and you're ecstatic. You're always comparing yourself to who you were yesterday and who you want to be in the future. And then while you're comparing yourself to you, you're also comparing yourself to other people who are doing the same things that you do. You see so and so run amazing and say, ‘Oh, that's great,' but [then] you ask yourself, ‘Why am I not running amazing?' You're just always asking yourself these questions and I think measuring yourself in that way really leads you to…yeah, it's not to prescribe too much self worth to the numbers. And just being like, ‘OK, if I could just run 2:10 in the marathon I'll be happier,” and it doesn't feel that way because then you run 2:10 and you were fifth and somebody else ran 2:09 or whatever, so it's hard—it's just the nature of our sport is that we're always measuring ourselves against each other and ourselves, and if you're not in a good place with that you can kind of go down a rabbit hole.” Noah Droddy is one of my favorite people in the sport and it was a treat to have him back on the podcast. Our last conversation was almost exactly 3 years ago on Episode 23 so be sure to give that one a listen if you haven't already. Noah is a blue-collar as they come and that's part of what I love about him. The Division 3 alum from Depauw University in Indiana ran 2:09:09 at The Marathon Project last December, making him the ninth-fastest American marathoner of all-time. He lives and trains in Boulder, Colorado with the Roots Running Project, which, as we talked about in this episode, has done more with less than any other elite level training group in the U.S. In addition to being a great athlete, Noah is also a big fan of the sport! We recorded this episode just a few days ago on Friday and spent the first few minutes of the show talking about the first day of action at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. From there, Noah told me why he's at an interesting point of his professional running career right now, what it was like to lose sponsorship after having a breakthrough race last fall, how he's thinking about the place competitive running holds in his life right now and moving forward, and a lot more.

Noah Droddy, from Indianapolis, Indiana, never qualified for the state meet in high school but decided to continue his running career at Division III DePauw University anyway. He ran well but was no collegiate star. After a few years of soul-searching post grad, Noah moved to Boulder, Colorado to pursue becoming a professional distance runner. Since doing so, he has improved vastly in distances from 5k to the marathon. So much so that he is now one of the top 10 marathoners in American history. It's an amazing journey that we can all learn from. Outside of running, Noah plays guitar in a band called Bury Mia, hosts a podcast called D3 Glory Days, and spends his day hanging out with his fiancée Emma and their two rescue dogs Sarah and Chandler.

“Kori was very strategic when he would tell me these things and give me the permission to accept it as reality where I wouldn’t have set that goal for myself.” Thanks for joining us for another episode of D3 Glory Days, a Citius Mag Network podcast. We’re keeping things in-house this week, as Stu guides […]

This week on The Drop, Thomas, Robbe and Meaghan introduce one of the most anticipated Nike sequels of the year, the Vaporfly Next% 2 (12:53) before breaking down Des Linden's world-record-breaking 50K (18:17). Thomas and Robbe are then joined by professional runner Noah Droddy to talk about sponsorships, his running journey, favorite running shoes, his band, and more (28:20). IG: @noah_droddy

On this episode of Running Dialogue, we are joined by Noah Droddy who is a professional runner from Indiana. We discuss Noah's latest marathon time of 2:09 which ranks 9th all time for U.S. born runners. Noah talks about growing up in the midwest and moving to Colorado in order to take the next steps as a runner. We also discuss Noah's experience running in the Crim 10 Mile Race at the 2017 HAP Crim Festival of Races.

With the 9th fastest marathon mark in US history of 2:09:09, we get our first-ever marathoner on the podcast to dive into his truly humble beginnings in D3 and never making the state meet in high school to qualifying to the Olympic Trials and running great marathons. Tune in this is a good one.

This week, the newest member of the CITIUS Mag podcast family comes on Run Your Mouth to talk about his ideas for changing the sponsorship and marketing models of track and field, his college highs and lows, playing in a band, and everything in between. Noah Droddy is a professional marathoner, Indiana native, and style icon who hosts the podcast D3 Glory Days with college teammate Stu Newstat. Most recently, he finished second at the 2020 marathon project in a personal best of 2:09:09. This episode is full of hot takes and good stories and you won’t want to miss a minute. On going into the Marathon Project with an expiring shoe contract: “I went into the race with that attitude that I was fighting for my life in the sport, which, as much as I hate that stress, has worked out well for me before in the past when I have these clear stakes and I can rise to the occasion.” On building the sport by changing the sponsorship model: “You really have to burn down the sponsorship model […]There are so many things we’ve done to make the sport niche and benefit only a few people, like logo restrictions for example, but if you make changes to get more eyeballs on the sport, we could be NASCAR [….] Right now, we are all kind of dependent on the shoe industry; the only ‘path’ to making a living is to sign a shoe deal. I think we’ll really know the sport is in a good place is when people are signing sponsorships with companies not endemic to running.” On how running D3 shaped his running future: “I was not a good enough high school athlete where I could’ve joined a competitive Division 1 program and so D3 was really my on-ramp in continuing to run [….] my junior year, I qualified for nationals for the second time and ended up finishing 9th. That was one of those moments where I was like, ‘maybe I’m better than I thought I was,’ and it allowed me to dream bigger […] to redefine my own potential.”

This week Dr. Richard Hansen joins the program. Dr. Hansen coaches the Roots Running Project and operates High Altitude Spine and Sport in Boulder, Colorado. While only a few years old the Roots team has had tremendous success, and you'll hear coach share stories about his athletes including Noah Droddy, Frank Lara, Alia Gray, and Maggie Montoya. Our conversation spans the evolution of Roots Running and altitude-based American training groups, the influence of legendary coach Joe Vigil on the team's training, incorporation of strength-based activities for injury risk reduction, and the Roots approach to marathon preparation.

"I'm more comfortable with betting on myself now than I have been in the past, and I think it comes from just accumulating achievements that I look back on and think, 'Yeah, I'm good enough to do this.'" My guest for today’s episode is the Roots Running breakout star of 2020 not named Noah Droddy. Frank Lara was the US Champion in the 15K despite finishing second after the winner tested positive for EPO. We hear his thoughts on that. He ran 27:44.65 for the 10,000 meters and 61:50 for the half marathon last year. We recorded this episode a few weeks ago so we touch on his hopes for the new year and he makes his pitch to a potential sponsor. Frank will be among the athletes competing at the Trials of Miles Texas Qualifier next month.

Welcome to episode 177 of the Final Surge Podcast where we welcome professional distance runner Noah Droddy to the show. Droddy has a great story of a slightly better than average runner in high school who became an Olympics Trial qualifier. Droddy burst onto the scene in 2016 at the Trials and recently finished second in The Marathon Project. We catch up with Droddy about his preparation for his latest race and what is next for him in 2021. 1:15 How did you get started in running? 2:30 What was it in your senior year that started to change things for you? 3:40 How were your times in your senior year? 4:12 Those are not times that jump off the chart, at what point did you decide that you wanted to run at the next level? 5:35 Did you have success in college as a freshman? 6:49 What was your progress like in college? 8:15 When you were getting ready to graduate college did you expect to continue to run as a professional? 9:28 What do you by you couldn't completely let running go? 10:29 When did you decide you were going to get serious and see what you could do? 11:59 At that point in 2015 was there even talks of the Olympic Trials? 13:00 When did the qualifier for the 10k come? 14:27 That night on the track you kind of became an icon overnight, what was that like? 16:11 When the shutdown happened how was your mindset? 18:08 How long was the process of shutting it down? 19:22 June you started training again, the Marathon Trials were done, did you switch your focus to the 10k? 21:25 Were there any health issues when you came back? 21:55 How was your training leading up to the Marathon Project? 22:43 You ran 2.5 minutes better than your PR, was 2:09 the goal for the race or just stick with the leaders? 24:00 How did you feel in the second half of the race? 25:16 Were there any workouts leading up to the race that had you thinking this could be a big race? 26:28 Do you have any staple workouts that you use every training cycle that you can see how you progress each cycle? 27:36 You mention these breakthroughs become the new benchmark, but do you think that 2:09 is now the benchmark for the US Men's marathon? 29:28 What are your plans after your break? 30:59 What is the status of the Roots Running Group 31:57 Richie is one of the under the radar coaches that probably doesn't get the credit they deserve   Resources Noah on Twitter Noah on Instagram Roots Running Project Final Surge Final Surge Instagram Final Surge Twitter Final Surge Facebook Final Surge Website

Noah Droddy became the #9 fastest US men's marathoner running 2:09:09 at the Marathon Project event in Arizona on Dec. 20th. He and Frank Lara (who helped pace the event) talk about the build-up to the race, staying motivated during the pandemic, and looking ahead to 2021.

"After Chicago, I said, ‘I’ve arrived in the arena of my marathon potential but I still feel like I’m sitting in the nosebleeds.’ Right? I’m not there yet. So now, I’m like, ‘Well fuck...I’m there now. I think.’ If I can do that again or even get a little better then that’s pretty good. I like to think I’ve proven myself as a competitor beyond just being like the puke guy or the beer-drinking hero guy.” Noah Droddy finished second in 2:09:09 behind recent guest Marty Hehir at the Marathon Project. It was major because it was his first race in 14 months. He had to scratch from the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials due to injury and then he withdrew from the Michigan Pro Half Marathon in the fall due to a COVID scare that might have been a false positive. Droddy came into the race with a personal best of 2:11:42 so it was an improvement by two minutes and 32 seconds. In this episode, we take it all the way back to Droddy’s division 3 days, his choice to take a risk on himself and running post collegiately, crashing the 2016 track trials but ultimately putting respect on his name and proving himself in the marathon. You’re gonna want to stick around all the way to the end of this one because he’s also got the funniest drug testing story in the history of this podcast.

Noah Droddy is a professional runner, 2-time Olympic Trials Qualifier, 2-time collegiate All-American, and a 2:11 marathoner. He is sponsored by Saucony and trains under Richard Hansen in Boulder, Colorado for the Roots Running Project. His sights are currently set on breaking the 2:10 marathon barrier, which he shares about in this podcast. Noah's path to professional running was indirect, to say the least. He ran through high school and college but didn't take it too seriously. In fact, Noah attributes this casual approach to his decision to go all in on the sport. Noah is also one of very few runners to turn pro after a Division 3 college career, making his trajectory even more impressive. I caught up with him to ask about his current training and how he has been able to make such leaps in his performance. We cover many topics, including: Work ethic to pursue your goals Environmental factors that help your succeed Evolving pressures of a pro runner This is an inspiring episode and I hope you'll enjoy Noah’s energy and thoughtfulness as much as I did.

Noah Droddy joins the show to talk about the 1979 cult classic "Breaking Away." Synopsis: Dave (Dennis Christopher) and his working-class friends Cyril (Daniel Stern), Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley) and Mike (Dennis Quaid) spend their post-high school days in Bloomington, Indiana, sparring with snooty students from the local university, chasing girls and--in Dave's case--dreaming of competitive bicycle racing. The four friends face opposition from all corners as they decide to make Dave's dreams come true in the university's annual bicycle endurance race. The film is available to stream on YouTube, Amazon Prime and iTunes for $3.99

"I have faith in myself that on my best day if someone is not having their best day, I might be able to get 'em. And that's enough to allow me to show up to a start line with some confidence and rest assured that I'm going to give my best and put my best effort out there. And if that puts me in last place, so be it, but I definitely show up feeling and knowing that on my best day I can compete with these guys." Stoked to welcome Noah Droddy to the podcast this week! The 27-year-old resident of Boulder, Colo., is among running's rising stars and one of the sport's most interesting, likable, and relatable personalities. Since finishing last in the 10,000m final at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials, where he received a swell of media attention for his unique looks and everyman persona, Droddy has established himself as a solid competitor on the roads, finishing second at the 2016 U.S. 10-mile championships, breaking 62 minutes at last year's New York City Marathon, and debuting in 2:16:26 at last fall's Chicago Marathon. Earlier this year, he "put some demons to rest" on the track, running a personal best of 28:07 for 10,000m at Stanford's Payton Jordan Invitational. In this conversation—a follow-up of sorts to an interview we did 15 months ago—Droddy and I talked about a wide range of topics, including: — What he learned from his first marathon last fall and how he'll apply those lessons to his next marathon buildup. — The importance of taking breaks from training throughout the year and why that's not a hard thing for him to do. “I don't cool down [after my last race of the season],” he told me. “I go home, I shower, and it's over. The last step of the race is the last step that I'm really thinking about.” — What a typical week of training looks like for him right now. — How things have changed for him in the last year since signing a contract with Saucony. — The importance of staying involved in his local running community and connecting with other runners. — Training with the Roots Running Project and how that's been a major contributor to his development as an athlete in the past few years. — His relationship with his coach Richey Hansen and how it's evolved—along with his training—since he moved to Boulder in 2015. — Being naive about the marathon and why that excites him at this point of his career. — How he keeps himself in check when he's racing against a bunch of guys with personal bests faster than his own. — Hiking the John Muir Trail for six weeks after college and what was so transformative about that experience. — The importance of balancing out his running with other interests and what he does to occupy his time when he's not training and racing. — Life after competitive running and what he's doing to set himself up for the future. — Working closely with his sponsors and giving the brands that support him a return on their investment. “We just need to redefine our roles and just think about ourselves as more than just athletes,” Droddy says. “And really the whole sport would benefit from that.” — His signature facial hair and the method behind his mustachioed madness. “I try to pull it out for important occasions,” he explained to me. — The coverage of running in the media, why it's suffering, and what can be done to make it more exciting and appealing to fans. — What's exciting him in the sport of running right now. — A lot more.

This is the 4th and final episode of our series on training principles (also check-out episodes 1, 7, and 10). In this episode, we discuss in detail our final 2 training principles, explaining the importance of peaking and training with a coach/group. Running is only a solo sport if you let it be. For the blog we reference, click here.  As the intro, we begin with a tribute to the late, great Mr. Ed Whitlock, who left us too soon a few weeks ago at the age of 86. We then unpack the results of the NYC Half Marathon and tell you why you need to know the names Emily Sisson and Noah Droddy.       

Noah Droddy is a thoughtful, serious and colorful character in US distance running. While most people know more about his race day looks - long hair, sunglasses, backwards hat and mustache - than his PRs, Noah is quickly becoming one of the top distance runners in the US, with great performances at the US 10-mile championships in 2016 and the 2017 Houston Half Marathon. This interview was a lot of fun and I look forward to watching him and his fellow Root Running Project teammates in some workouts in Boulder this spring. If you want to read some fun articles about Noah and his appearance at the 2016 US Olympic Track and Field Trials, go to CoachJayJohnson.com and search for this episode.

Episode 21 of Final Surge Podcast with our guest Coach and Dr Richard Hansen of the Roots Running Project. Richie is a chiropractor specializing in sports medicine and more specifically runners, and is a coach of an up and comping post collegiate team who’s runners include The Noah Droddy. I think you are going to really enjoy this. We start out talking about his coaching experiences, Noah and then turn to injuries, strength videos and pool walking. If you enjoy this episode please take a moment to rate us on iTunes and send a thank you tweet to Dr Hansen. Now onto the show. I want to break this up into a couple of parts first talking about your coaching and post collegiate groups and then talking about your other life as a highly respected chiropractor specializing in running related injuries. First let's' find out how you got here. Can you tell us about how you got your start in running early on? Was it your goal when you moved to Boulder to get into coaching? We have seen a resurgence of American distance runners over the last decade. How much do you see the explosion of post collegiate running groups playing a part in that. When someone is thinking about joining post collegiate group, there are two groups first is the elite runners the first team all Americans in cross and then there are the larger group of very good college runners, but not elite, who want to see how much they can continue to improve. For that second group who should consider continuing on training on their own vs. looking for a group like yours? Probably your best known runner is Noah Droddy. Of course he is known as that guy with the long hair and mustache in the 10k at the Olympic trials who became an internet sensation but really the thing even more impressive than his hair, I understand he went from a 14:30 5k runner to running 14:10 splits in the 10k. What did you guys do different to see that dramatic improvement? You know you have made an impact when people are dressing up as you for halloween as we saw on Twitter. Is he as big of a character in real life as he comes across? Hows his racing been going since the Trials? Let’s switch gears a little… Now you have coached everything from high school to olympic trials qualifiers, and your primary profession is as a chiropractor at high altitude spine and sports. So let's get into injuries. I want to break this down into segments. Let's start with high school runners. We have a lot of high school coaches who listen to this. In high school, as you know from your coaching days, a team usually has everything from a new runner who does other sports but not track to those who has never run before to those going for state. What are the most common injuries and causes you see high school boys and girls. With shin splints you will often have a coach send the athlete into the school trainer and the trainer will say ice and roll it out a little. They are obviously treating the symptoms not the cause. What is the most common causes? When you coached high school athletes, were there any extensive warm up and cool down routines and did you design them around injury prevention? You showed me a tape job last summer for relieving shin splints for runners. Do you have a video online anywhere so others can see it? Now this runner, they go off to college, and likely have a more extensive strength routine there than they did in high school. When you get a runner out of college joining your club what are you seeing as deficiencies that are leading to injuries? There are a lot of videos online and on youtube. are there any hip/strength routines that are maybe online that you recommend? (See resources below) When one of my runners gets an injury I always send them to two local guys here who I know, know runners. Sometimes they don't take my advice and will go see a Physical therapist who often times honestly don't really help them much. So the question is When someone in our audience, who doesn't live in Boulder has an injury they want checked out, tell us how they can go about finding a someone who should be able to help get them back running. One thing you got me doing was pool walking after a run. Can you talk about why you are such a fan? Now someone is out with a running group for a long run, gets back to the car has to drive home for 20 to 25 minutes, and will often stop for a coffee on the way home… is that still a good thing for them to get into the pool 30-40 minutes later after they are done their run?
