"Ya no hay vuelta atrás. Vamos a seguir haciendo esto que tanto nos gusta, compartiéndolo con ustedes." — Roxanna Acabamos el año (¡y la década!) de la mejor manera que conocemos: compartiendo experiencias de lo que fue, de lo que es y de lo que será. Recientemente Roxanna ha tenido más suerte que un salami. Va a cerrar este año con broche de oro, corriendo el 10K San Silvestre en San Juan y ya tiene en agenda varios eventos importantes para el próximo, incluyendo Nueva York en marzo, Washington, D.C. en abril, Chicago en octubre y Nueva York otra vez en noviembre. Discutimos el tema de hidratación y alimentación mientras corremos, basado en nuestras experiencias, y compartimos algunos consejos útiles sobre qué hacer y qué evitar antes, durante y después de un evento. (Los hot dogs no son una buena idea.) Este tema es bastante amplio, pero aquí te compartimos un par de recursos muy útiles: Practical eating issues http://www.jeffgalloway.com/2015/03/17/practical-eating-issues/ Q&A: What to eat / drink before and during your race or long training run http://www.jeffgalloway.com/2012/01/12/how-much-should-i-eat-the-day-before-a-long-runon-the-day-before-your-long-runs-practice-eating-be-sure-to-jot-down-what-y/ Vergentino discute algunos detalles de los eventos que NYRR empezó a anunciar en su programa virtual, incluyendo dos que garantizan entrada para el United NYC Half y el Popular Brooklyn Half. Terminamos este año con las baterías recargadas, emocionados por todas las cosas que vamos a empezar y a continuar en el 2020. Mil gracias por todo el apoyo recibido. Existimos solo porque ustedes nos escuchan.

“La gente te lleva. La gente te eleva.” — Meb Keflezighi Un día después de correr el 2019 Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon y dos días después de un encuentro trascendental con Meb Keflezighi, nos sentamos en Central Park y hablamos de todo lo sucedido. Hablamos. Porque no podíamos caminar. Roxanna y Vergentino comparten (sentados) sobre todo lo sucedido durante el fin de semana del medio maratón de Brooklyn. Uno de nosotros mejoró su marca personal, y uno de nosotros no lo logró. Entérate de qué nos pasó antes, durante y después de la carrera. Un adelanto: uno de nosotros fue casi el primero en llegar al área de salida, ambos empezamos a morir aproximadamente a la misma hora y la celebración incluyó hot dogs y cerveza. También hablamos de una experiencia especial que tuvo Vergentino al correr, charlar y casi entrevistar a uno de los nombres más importantes en el deporte, Meb Keflezighi. Qué cosas nos gustan esta semana: NYRR Virtual 6 Program Popular Brooklyn Half Marathon Hot dogs y cervezas en Nathan’s
Episode 4 features an interview with Honey Stinger co-owners Bill Gamber and Rich Hager, who reflect on the company’s early days as a seat-of-the-pants startup and share why their own athletic lives and ambitions are such a key part of Honey Stinger’s DNA. Bill and Rich are entrepreneurs and business partners but most importantly they are dedicated athletes and adventurers, just like their customers. And from that point of view the two wanted to make something that not only they wanted and needed themselves but what they believed other athletes wanted and needed, too- a healthier, more natural source of energy. That foundational belief not only guides the business decisions they make every day but it’s part of Honey Stinger’s culture and it’s the reason the company was formed back in the first place in 2001. Several years before that, Bill and Rich were competing in triathlons together. A key moment in their early attempts to get their company off the ground came at the Ironman in Kona, where they made honey-based smoothies for any of the competitors who wanted them. And that’s just one of the great, fun stories the two share about the early, freewheeling days. You’ll also hear in the episode about the third co-owner of Honey Stinger, Len Zanni. There’s something else that makes Honey Stinger’s origin story unique. It encompasses several other companies: a honey-based food company started in Pennsylvania by Bill’s grandparents in 1954, an apparel company Bill started while still in college and Big Agnes, a company that still makes high-end tents, sleeping bags and other camping gear. It is unlikely that without the help of these three start-ups that Honey Stinger would exist today. Fuel School is back! In our second segment, Hive athletes share their nutrition strategies for before, during and after the Popular Brooklyn Half.

“This notion of balance is this unrealistic thing we’re all striving toward. If you allow yourself to know that and believe that, it takes some of the pressure off.” —Liz Plosser When you picture an editor in chief of a major women’s magazine, your mind probably goes right to Miranda Priestly of The Devil Wears Prada fame. Now picture the opposite — someone brilliant, kind, caring, and passionate in the most upbeat, positive way — and you have Women’s Health editor in chief Liz Plosser. Liz was named EIC of Women’s Health at the beginning of 2018, and her rise to the role wasn’t fueled by fate. Liz, who grew up in Kansas City, MO, worked her marathoning booty off to get to where she is today. After starting out as an investment banking analyst, Liz followed her dreams (literally) and moved into publishing. She started out at Self, and rose through the ranks at Time Out Chicago, Cosmopolitan, Well+Good, Canyon Ranch, SoulCycle, and more. On this episode, Liz discusses the challenges and perks of her job, talks about being a busy mom of three, and shares why she’s proud to be a “nice girl.” Enjoy, and wish Liz luck before she lines up at the start of the Popular Brooklyn Half next weekend!
