The NBMA is the country's oldest and largest, not-for-profit organization of Black American distance runners. The objectives are to encourage Black Americans and others to pursue a healthy life-style through long distance running and walking and serve as a vehicle for Black American distance runners across the nation to meet in mass at a single marathon. Tony shares why he wrote and directed the award-winning documentary, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Unbelievably, at the time of the creation of the documentary in 2022, only nine African American women had broken three hours in the marathon. The documentary shares the stories of these incredible trailblazing women: 1. Marilyn Bevans (1975 at Boston (2:55:52) 1979 Boston Marathon (2:49:56) 2.

Next week, on December 1, 2022 at 4pm eastern, I'm going to be hosting a live online workshop that is completely free.  There will be a limit to the number of runners I can have live with me, but I will have the replay available so you can watch at your convenience if you miss it.  I'm going to recommend that you listen to this episode first, so you have an overall sense of the philosophy, and then the workshop will help you put it into practice for you. If you'd like to take part, head to theplantedrunner.com/year to RSVP to this free event with me.  If you can't make it live or you are listening to this after December 1, 2022, you can still get the free planning guide and catch the replay to make 2023 your best running year yet. Don't forget to stay tuned all the way to the end of the episode for this week's Mental Strength Minute.  Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less. LINKS: ▶️The Planted Runner is now on YouTube!

We're bringing you a little inspiration this morning/afternoon. The story of a woman who recently celebrated her 80th birthday and whose long accomplished life, so far, has included running the Richmond Marathon 19 times. Mallory Noe-Payne paid her a visit and has the story of a life that goes far beyond running. 

Our guest on today's special bonus (meaning: very short) episode is Gene Dykes. The self-described ‘Ultrageezer' has set multiple official and unofficial age group world records in a variety of running distances and continues to go after big goals and accomplishments. The 73-year-old from outside Philadelphia visited Richmond in November for the Richmond Marathon, and we caught up with him for a few minutes on November 12, before the marathon at the pre-race expo. He was gracious enough to join for a quick interview to share more insight on his accomplishments and experiences and it was great to speak with him. Gene ended up finishing the Richmond Marathon with a time of 3:20:40, which was good for first place in his age group. It also helped him move into 2nd place in the World Marathon Majors rankings for the age 70-74 category. And we'll continue to look for more incredible accomplishments from Gene in the future. Thank you for listening to this episode of the On the Move podcast and for your support throughout the year. Be sure to share any feedback at www.sportsbackers.org or on social media @SportsBackers. Until the next episode, thanks for tuning in!

“You cross the state line into Virginia and there’s that kind of magic Appalachian feel that I crave all the time when I want to go out and ride. Virginia is a magical place and I will tell people that forever.” -Brantley Tyndall Brantley Tyndall completed the Trans Am Bike Race, a 4,191 mile ride across the United States. The ultra-endurance cyclist shares stories from his journey across ten states, including what it was like to complete the race right here in Virginia. Brantley discusses his gear, how to get started in bike packing, and the best bike trails across the Commonwealth. But Brantley is more than an athlete. His advocacy for safe streets has resulted in the development of new trails that will connect neighborhoods, boost local economies, and serve as a safe and accessible mode of transportation.

Jereny Rivera is a classic example of ignoring limits and just running for running's sake. Five years ago Jereny had never gone for a proper run. In fact, she had been fairly inactive from an athletic standpoint. Then, in an effort to expand her social circle, she joined the Track Shack running group. At that moment her future changed forever. Five years later Jereny is kicking butt and taking names. In fact, a couple weeks ago Jereny set her 5k PR with a blazing 19:07! In this episode we talk about her transformation, how she has handled the lack of social connection in 2020, and how she has reached new heights in this crazy year.

For so many of us, this fall running season has taken the wind out of our sails. Cancellations one-after-another during a time when we hoped racing would return. While that feeling is real and pervasive, I'm happy to report that we are starting to see some real in-person options and creativity. Jon Lubgill joins me in this episode to talk about what he and his staff at Sports Backers have done to create a real and appropriate in-person experience for the Richmond Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 8k. Richmond offers a groundbreaking timing solution on a USATF-certified course and is following health and safety protocols to take the guess work out of race day for you. It's true, you can still run a marathon or half marathon this year, on an actual course, with mile markers, bathrooms, and bottle refill stations. You can still get an official result and it can all be done in a safe, socially-distanced manner. From November 7-22, Richmond will have an official course with markings for a marathon, half marathon, and 8k, open 5 a.m. to 5:30 p.m, on the Virginia Capital Trail, a paved trail just minutes from downtown Richmond.

I recent had the pleasure of meeting my long time online friend John Mayros in person. John and I met when we both ran in the 2017 Run the Bluegrass half marathon. During one of our conversations John mentioned that he had served in the Navy for 20 years. So when it came time for me to identify a guest to interview for my special Memorial Day podcast edition, John immediately came to mind.  Some of the things we'll talk about in this edition: What serving in the Navy meant to John and how it has shaped the life he lives today. How his Navy experience influenced his running journey - hint - not al all. John talks about his running streak which will hit its one year anniversary on Memorial Day. John compares his running journey to being a motivational speaker. John makes a special running announcement for those of us who run the Richmond Marathon. And much, much more.  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 Read chapter drafts of my book "One Flame to Burn - Life Lessons I Learned Running My First Marathon"

Sarah and co-host Amanda Loudin catch up with running luminary and Runner’s World Chief Running Officer, Bart Yasso, days after Bart’s retirement announcement on Twitter. The trio set off talking about how to get into big, mega-popular running races, but the conversation rapidly veers toward amazing anecdotes from Bart’s four decades of running. It’s like the podcast version of the guiding principle Bart shares: “Never limit where running can take you.” Sarah and Bart bond over “tube socks” as he tells how he became the “mayor of running” after nearly expiring while running his first mile.

A Perspective on Victory! I ran the Richmond Marathon on November 15, 2014. It did not go exactly as I planned, but I made some significant, mid-course mindset adjustments, shifted from victim to victor, and turned failure into victory! Listen as I talk you through the marathon, both literally and metaphorically. Show outline: THANK YOU! I got so many Tweets, Facebook messages, and emails wishing me luck and warmth for the marathon! Even though I've run many marathons, this was, in many ways my first marathon Foot surgery 8/13 Cancer surgery 4/14 No running at all for 10 months - ground zero! Marathon breakdown Got plenty of sleep the night before, ate well, hydrated, did all the prep just as planned Got up at 5:00am, had breakfast and coffee, got dressed just as planned Picked up neighbor at 6:15, drove downtown, found parking spot, sat in the car to stay warm It was 22 degrees! Got to starting line, sun was up and had warmed to 26! First 13 miles were great, just ahead of target pace Family met me, swapped water bottles with my son, rolled on Mile 15, turned left to cross the James River heading north brutal, cold headwind 2.5 mile uphill climb Right hip--specifically the top of the sartorius muscle--became very sore while fighting the cold wind and the grade By the time I hit 18 it was screaming at me, which effected my stride/gate, forcing me onto my left leg I could feel my left knee, which I injured many years ago become weak. I was walking/jogging by 20 and knew I would not reach my goal 20-22 is where most people hit "the wall" anyway, it's not uncommon to find people walking here The wall is where the mind and body want to quit The mind plays games, you can get disoriented, or deeply discouraged Many people bail out at this point Could I have pushed through to keep my pace? Maybe Ryan Hall - London Olympics DNF Is the goal worth serious injury/long recovery if recovery is possible? I decided it wasn't worth it. I'm not a professional, I just do this for fun I had to do mid-course attitude/expectation adjustment For a mile or two, I was very discouraged I allowed myself to feel those feelings instead of telling myself I shouldn't feel them When it passed, I reminded myself of all I have come through in last 15 months At mile 23.5 I had tears rolling down my cheeks Not tears of frustration or pain -- although I was in pain! Tears of joy and gratitude! 15 months ago, I couldn't walk 7 months ago, I couldn't get out of bed without help because of the blood loss and abdominal pain Right now, I am walking the last 3 miles of a marathon I very carefully shuffled my way down the steep hill to the finish line My goal had been 4:00 My actual time was 4:27 I missed my goal by 27 minutes You tell me, is that a failure or a victory? I call it a HUGE VICTORY!!! The bonus was my neighbor! He ran his 1st marathon ever 3-weeks ago in 5:02 He knocked 30 minutes off of his time, passed me at the end and beat me by 45 seconds! I was SO happy for him! It's all about perspective, and adjusting your expectations when life doesn't go the way you want it to After all, life is a marathon! All you can do on any given day is your best! The 4th agreement: Always do your best! Your best will be different on different days, under different circumstances If you did your best, give yourself a break, celebrate you did your best! If you didn't do what you wanted, but still did your best, try again tomorrow If you didn't do your best, that's OK, try tomorrow to do your best Doing your best is about the action, not about the outcome/goal If you do your best, you find intense satisfaction in the doing, regardless of the outcome Mentioned in this show: You CAN Go the Distance!
