Yes, this panel was that good!We can't thank these women enough for joining us. We also want to thank our terrific co-host and dear friend, Cherie Louise Turner, co-host of the Women's Running Stories Podcast for collaborating with us for year four of hosting discussion panels at the Boston Marathon.Thanks to all who joined us on Sunday!

This is a live recording from Sunday, April 20 at the Boston Marathon Expo. Once again, WRS host Cherie Turner teamed up with Julie Sapper and Lisa Levin from the Run Farther and Faster podcast to co-host an excellent panel. This year's panel was titled Mental Strategies for Mastering the Marathon, and it featured exceptional masters marathoners Stephanie Bruce, Erica Stanley-Dottin, and Dot McMahon. These exception runners shares wisdom and experience on strategies for developing mental strength and resilience, mental approaches to the marathon, how to build confidence when you have self-doubt, and so much more! This is an episode to listen to again and again; it's so backed with helpful advice and useful takeaways. Stephanie Bruce, 41, has been racing professionally for over 15 years. Among her many racing accomplishments, she's placed 6th at the Chicago Marathon, and 10th at the London and NYC marathons. Bruce has also earned 3 national titles on the road, one in the half-marathon and twice in the 10k. Additionally, Bruce placed 6th at the Olympic Marathon Trials in 2020. Bruce started a new chapter in her running career this year, signing on with Tracksmith. She now runs for them professionally and will be helping to mentor younger runners going after big goals. Erica Stanley-Dottin, 51, came to marathoning later in life, at age 35. In her early 40s, she began to train seriously and joined the Black Roses racing team. She then learned about The List: an accounting of all the American-born Black women who have broken 3 hours in the marathon. As she continued to get faster at the marathon, this became her goal. Erica met that goal with room to spare at the 2022 Berlin Marathon where she ran 2:52, at 48 years old. That came just six months after running 3:01 at Boston. This year, Stanley-Dottin ran the Boston Marathon as a member of Team Bevans, in honor of marathon pioneer Marilyn Bevans. Dot McMahan, 48, has been running marathons for 19 years and she's run for the Hanson Brooks Original Distance Project team for 20. Among Dot's many accomplishments over her long running career, she's qualified for and run 5 Olympic trials marathons, and she has placed in the top 10 at two of them. Last year, she was the oldest woman to compete in the marathon trials, and she qualified for last year's trials by running 2:35 at the 2023 Grandma's Marathon. Dot is also a running coach. She works with private athletes and as an assistant track coach for Oakland University.

This episode features longtime professional runner, entrepreneur, mother of three, wife, and so much more, Stephanie Bruce. In this episode Bruce, who is 41, shares the purpose and passion that's driving her these days, as she moves into a new chapter in her running career. It's a time of transition and exciting new paths forward. As a professional runner in her early 40s, Bruce shares valuable experience and information about what it looks like to age as a elite athlete, and how she's processing it. She continues to explore what's possible as a professional athlete, and also how she's making that happen–how she's navigating the changes that come with getting older. Bruce has been racing professionally for over 15 years, and in that time she has accomplished so much as a runner, and she's not done yet. Some of her many career achievements include 10th at the New York City and London marathons; 6th at the Chicago Marathon; 12th at the Boston Marathon; 3 national championship titles–once in the half marathon, and two times in the 10k; 6th at the 2020 Olympic Trials Marathon–and the list goes on. But the significance of Bruce's pro career goes way beyond times and places. She's been very open about her running journey and how she's navigating living a full life outside of running, including having her three children–Hudson, Riley and Sophia–while continuing to show up year after year ready to perform at her best. Bruce is known for being a tough, smart, gritty racer and a powerful supporter of teammates, as well as other runners in the field.  Last year, 2024, was a big transition year for Bruce: for the past decade, Bruce was a member of the HOKA Northern Arizona Elite team, also known as NAZ Elite. She learned part-way through 2024 that her contract wouldn't be renewed, and her time with the team would be over at the end of year. In addition, Bruce had her third child, at age 39, in September 2023, which meant that 2024 would be a postpartum return to full time training and racing. This is all to say, 2024 was a tumultuous year for Bruce. And she gets into it all in this episode. She also shares the pivotal experiences in her life that have played a huge part in shaping how she shows up for running and for life.

Welcome to Episode 63 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring professional distance runner Stephanie Bruce. I've been a big fan of Steph's for many years. I deeply admire how candid and open she is about her professional and personal experiences, whether it's about race performances, her postpartum body, losing her mother to cancer, daily life with her husband and two young boys, navigating life with celiac disease and other food allergies, or her congenital heart condition. She puts it all out there and in doing so, she inspires so many others on their own journeys.For anyone not familiar with Steph, she lives with her family in Flagstaff, AZ and runs for the HOKA NAZ elite team. She has been running professionally for over 12 years, and has placed 10th at NYC Marathon, 10th at the London marathon, 6th at Chicago and 12th at Boston. And she's not shy about telling you that she wants to win! She won her first national title at the 2018 Peachtree Road Race and her third title at age 38 in 2022. She's currently pregnant with her third child, but she's ready to get back at it afterwards. We cover so much in this episode, including:How her current pregnancy is goingThe evolution of her diet as she became a collegiate and pro runnerHer long history of GI and other fueling issuesHow she optimized her iron, B12 and folate statusWhat a typical day of eating looks like, and all her race nutrition favsCo-founding energy bar company, Picky BarsBody imageHer BAVD diagnosisProfessional goals post-pregnancyThank you Steph for spending time with me on the show and for sharing your nutrition story! Links & Resources:Steph's Website: https://www.stephbruce.com/Follow Steph on Instagram, Facebook, and TwitterOther Announcements:Please show your support by leaving a rating and/or review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcastsMusic Credit: Joseph McDadeHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

"It was the fear of the unknown — but that was what I loved also. I don't want to do something I know I could finish or know I could do. I want to do this thing that's going to be really hard… and there was no stopping me." At 14 years old, Lottie Bildirici — a lifelong New Yorker — went from being a happy-go-lucky high schooler to a cancer patient. A lump on her neck turned out to be Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and Lottie immediately began chemotherapy treatments. She was the sick kid. But as she recovered physically (and was given a cancer-free diagnosis!), Lottie realized she had lost her identity. Who was she without cancer? And it was running that helped her redefine herself. Lottie completed a half-marathon at Disney World, and a passion for the sport was immediately ignited. She started learning more about health and nutrition — but soon lost her way. In this conversation, Lottie talks about growing up in the kitchen, and about how a love for food led her down a scary path with orthorexia and recurring stress fractures. She talks about creating her blog and Instagram account, Running on Veggies, and about working with professional athletes including Kara Goucher and Stephanie Bruce. Today, Lottie is a nutrition coach for adidas, she's an Ironman triathlete (she completed her first Ironman on the 10-year anniversary of her cancer diagnosis), and she's a published author. Her first cookbook, Running on Veggies, came out earlier this year.

With any speedy performance, we want to know: What latest shoe technology were they wearing?   That was certainly the case for Monday's thrilling Boston Marathon where Peres Jepchirchir and Ababel Yeshaneh fought until the very last mile for their glory moment. In the end, it was Jepchirchir who out-kicked Yeshaneh 2:21.01 to 2:21.05.   In the context of super shoes, though, it may as well have been a head-to-head battle between Adidas and Nike, two Goliaths in the space. And though Nike had more racers finish in the top 15 wearing its shoes, the eventual 2022 Boston Marathon champion was wearing a pair of Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 2's.   Curious what the other ultra-fast women were racing in on Marathon Monday?

Samantha Roecker is a registered nurse and one of the best marathoners in the country. Her personal best is 2:29:59 which she set at the Marathon Project, she was on the 2018 CIM podium with Emma Bates and Stephanie Bruce, and she represented the United States at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru where she finished fifth in 2:32. She is the rare elite athlete who works a full-time job in the same way as most dedicated amateur runners - despite being good enough to go all-in on pro running if she chose to go that route. Samantha will be running the 2022 Boston Marathon with a new goal in mind. She is raising money for the American Nurses Foundation's programs supporting the mental health and wellness. Samantha has seen the effects that front-line healthcare work can have on caring and dedicated workforce. It is heart breaking. Her fundraising efforts include an audacious goal - to beat the Guinness Book of World Records time for running a marathon in nurses scrubs. In this episode we dive into her post-college running journey that has so many wild and layered twists and turns. Sam is a beacon of light for all runners and it was an honor to have her on the show.

While Briana has been running for over 25 years, she hit her fastest times this year...in her 40's. Briana accomplished this while working full-time as the Chief Operating Officer of Run the Edge (Adam Goucher's company) and coaching runners and triathletes.   Briana shares how she achieved her recent personal record, how she changed her approached to running and training, and why, regardless of our training, we must believe in ourselves to achieve our goals.

Regina Lopez is a pro runner for Salomon, competed in the 2020 Olympic Trial Marathon, and won her first Spartan Trail Race.  Last year she set a new 50 mile treadmill world record (8:41:37), despite never having trained for or run anything longer than a marathon and never having run longer than six miles on a treadmill.  You'd never expect that somebody so accomplished would struggle with confidence and self-image, but she has.  Today she talks about how she works through those issues, the importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in you, and taking on the challenge of trying new things.   Know that you are equal to them, that if you put in the work and you get in that line, you  belong there, and I did belong there. Throughout her twenties, Regina mainly ran marathons, and it was starting to get old.  “I was just doing the same thing, and just hanging out with the same people doing the same thing and I just got bored,” she recalls.  She had friends who ran Spartan races and followed Courtney Dauwalter and other ultra runners, and was intrigued by the idea of running trails and longer distances.   So she entered the Spartan Trail US Championship Women's 21K in 2019.  She hadn't focused on trail running, and she wasn't sponsored at the time, so seeing all of the sponsored athletes competing was a little intimidating.  But, she says, “I just went in that race, I had fun. I was competitive, I raced my own race, and I won.”  In 2021 she ran her first ultra, the 50K Road National Championship, and earned second place. I wanted to be part of something where I felt included, where I felt that it was something bigger than myself, with people who want to just grow, who are about inclusion, who are about just treating people right.  She caught the attention of Salomon, which she believes is the perfect sponsor for her.  They're not as interested in her times as in who she is as a person.  If that wasn't the case, if she didn't feel welcome, she wouldn't have taken the sponsorship. To live a life where you're not being acknowledged, you're not being appreciated, you're not doing something that's rewarding, then why do it? When Covid hit, Regina realized that she wanted to be more than “just a runner.”  She'd been so focused on being an athlete that she had never thought she'd have a career.  She'd also never had anyone support her ambitions.  Then she found her current job, which she loves, working with children with autism.  Like Salomon, it feels like a community, and she has mentors to help her grow.   When I got into running it made me feel like I was strong, like people's opinions didn't matter to me. Yeah, that's how I gained confidence and so I just put all my focus on running. There were many times when Regina felt alone and self-conscious.  She had a speech problem and didn't begin speaking until she was five.  Ever since she was a baby, she was called “chubby.”  It wasn't intended to be mean; people thought it was cute, but it hurt.   She was athletic, though, and played basketball and volleyball, and then got into running and weight training.  All of that helped her shift her mindset and appreciate what her body can do. When I've been put down so much during my life, I feel like that pushes me to want to achieve that goal. Regina didn't have access to a track and did all of her running workouts on the streets of Los Angeles.  She didn't have money for college tuition.  But the more that people told her that she wouldn't run competitively or go to college, the more determined she was to prove them wrong.  In her senior year of high school, she went to a running camp at UCLA.  She earned a college scholarship.   When she was at the running camp, the coach told her, “keep running; we need more representation.”  At first what he meant didn't click, but then, she says, “I went to a half marathon and a woman and her daughter came up to me after the race and the mom, she said, ‘thank you so much.' You know, ‘you're a strong Latina woman. We need more women like you.'”  Now she loves giving the encouragement that she lacked when she was growing up to other young women. It just feels great when I know I'm making an influence.  Like there's two girls, they actually went to my 50 mile treadmill race. And every time I see them, they always tell me, “you inspire me,” and it just feels great that I'm able to encourage other female young runners.

Happy Mother's Day! Earlier this week, I had the honor and privilege of hosting a virtual live show with four inspiring, iconic women: Lauren Fleshman, Alysia Montaño, Stephanie Bruce, and Dawn Harper-Nelson. It was an open, honest, totally unfiltered conversation about the realities of motherhood — the good, the bad, the messy, the 4 AM feedings, and the pressure we put on ourselves to, sigh, "do it all." We talked about asking for help, and why that can be more complicated than it seems, and talked about what mothers need — like really need — to thrive in society today. (And we raised more than $5,000 for &Mother — Alysia's organization that is dedicated to breaking down barriers that limit a woman's choice to pursue and thrive in both career and motherhood — in the process!) And on a personal note: Whatever stage of motherhood you are in, please know that I see you, and you are not alone. If you're an aspiring mom, if you are trying to conceive, if you are basking in new motherhood, if you are struggling in new motherhood, if you're a seasoned mom, if you have a complicated relationship with your own mother, whatever stage or phase you are in right now, know that I see you. I see how hard you are working, how hard you are trying, how you are showing up every day, doing your best. And if no one has told you yet today: You're doing great. Truly. Mother's Day can bring up a lot of emotions for a lot of people, and I want you to protect your heart, today and always. I hope this conversation will help some people feel seen or less alone, but I also know that spending 90 minutes hearing about motherhood may not serve a lot of people right now, so please do what is best for you.

Leading up to Mother's Day, I'm chatting with six extraordinary women. Some moms. Some not. But, each has a story to tell, forever shaped by the women that came before them. Ten years. That's how long Steph Bruce has been chasing her Olympic dreams. During that time, she had two sons within a 15-month period (not planned), has dealt with injuries, launched a successful business (what's up, Picky Bars), and so much more. In today's episode, she explains how — how she's stayed so steadfast on her goals, how she's recovered after a difficult labor while managing diastasis recti, and how proud she is of the children she's raising. She also confesses a shameful moment, and unpacks the importance of a great support system, believing in yourself, and working with people (and companies) that believe in your big potential.

Tianna Bartoletta is one of the best sprinters in the world, and she’s on hand to teach all of us, even the endurance runners, what we can learn from short distance running. Really short. For most of us, a sprint is less than 20 seconds, which is the distance short enough to reach your top speed completely anaerobically, or without needing oxygen for fuel.  Past this point, your lungs scream for oxygen and you will probably not be able to sustain the effort. Why should long distance runners care about those 20 seconds?  Because by tapping into your anaerobic system a couple times a week, you teach yourself to burn that fire just a little hotter, and train your other gears to run a little more smoothly and efficiently. Tianna also talks about what surprising things endurance runners can learn from long jumpers and yogis, how to frame our body talk in a positive way, how she’s adapted her training as she’s aged, and her gold-medal-winning, world-record-breaking Olympic relay experience. This episode has something for everyone, whether you’re a walker, a sprinter, or an endurance monster!  Tianna is a 35 year-old American sprinter and long jumper.  She is a two-time Olympian with three gold medals.   She ran the lead leg in the world record setting  4 × 100 m relay team in 2012, handing the baton to Allyson Felix.  At the 2016 Summer Olympics she won two more golds, first with a personal best to win the long jump then again leading off the winning  4 × 100 m relay team. In non-Olympic years, Tianna has won the World Championships 3 times and competed as a pusher on the U.S. bobsled team in 2012. And if all of that weren't amazing enough,  she’s also a registered yoga teacher, writes a blog at tiannabee.com , and her memoir, Survive And Advance, will be released this June! Questions Tianna is asked:  4:37 This conversation is a little bit delayed because you got a surprise drug test at 7:00 in the morning. Can you talk about that? 5:09 Can you talk about the 60-day transformation that you posted? What happened? I thought you looked great before, but now you’re like a sculpture. It’s amazing. Can you tell me how that happened? 9:01 I remember reading in one of your Instagram threads that you said you were hungry during your 60-day transformation, and that’s not something that we really like to admit. Why did you want to tell people like, “Hey, yes, this is working but to be perfectly honest, I’m hungry?” Why did you want to share that part about it? 11:45 You'll have to forgive me for asking what might end up being very basic questions, but our listeners mostly are endurance runners. So when somebody says, “I’m going to go run 100,” they’re usually talking about 100 miles not 100 meters, and you are a 100-meter specialist among many of your talents. So I would love to learn more about what it takes to be a good 100m specialist? 13:41 When you say you’re allergic to running long, you obviously don’t just run 100 meters in training and then stop. You do obviously run long. So what’s a long run for you? 17:17 Let’s talk about Stephanie Bruce. One of the bright spots of 2020, an obviously crazy year, is that you two connected, and I would love to hear about that story. 19:39 In 2020, obviously Tokyo was delayed. What was that like for you when you found out the news? 22:12 In both 2012 and 2016, you were a part of the gold-winning 4x100m relay team, in the lead leg position, handing the baton to Allyson Felix.  Talk us through that. What makes a good relay team? How does the coach determine the order?  How many times do you practice that baton pass?   24:19 What was your favorite moment from those games?  25:19 You are also a gold medalist in the long jump, and I want to talk about the world record there. The American world record and the overall world record, those are very, very old from the ‘80s and ‘90s. What’s it going to take to break it? 29:00 You recently had a meet where you were jumping really, really well, and you registered under the team name AARP.  Can you explain that? 30:37 What’s your key to longevity in this sport then? What makes you at your age still able to perform at such a high level? 32: 17 How do you get your ego out of the way when training? How do you tell yourself, “No, it’s okay to step back?” 34:19 Let’s talk about yoga. One stereotype about runners is that they really don't have to be all that flexible.  You are a yogi and you are super flexible. Can you share how yoga physically helps you, and then we get more into the mental side of it?   36:44 You have a book coming out. Tell us about that. 37:57 When does your book come out? 38:10 What do you think long-distance runners can learn from sprinters, jumpers, and yogis? 39:27 How often do you do plyometrics? 40:14 What's next for you? Questions I ask everyone: 40:39 If you could go back and talk to yourself when you started running, what advice would you give yourself? 41:04 What is the greatest gift running has given you? 41:17 Where can listeners connect with you? Quotes by Tianna: “You realize how much of our eating is just habit and mindless snacking. And so that’s really the biggest transformation is that everything is mindful. Everything I ingest is done with that little pause, like why am I eating this? What is it for? And that’s been the difference and my body has really responded to that.” “I loved not realizing that we broke the world record. Somebody had to point it out to us in 2012.  I just knew we won and we won by a lot.” “You have to be able to put your ego aside and say, ‘This is what my body needs. Sure, I can see that my rivals and competitors are doing six days a week but I can’t do that.’ And at the end of the day, you have to train the body that you have. That you actually have. Not the one you wish you had; the one you have. And that’s the key.” Take a Listen on Your Next Run Want more awesome interviews and advice?

“That was the kicker: Matt said, ‘If the dog doesn’t like you, you have to go.’” One day, in Flagstaff, AZ, professional runner Matt Llano walked into a local coffee shop where Brannon Harbur was working. That first day they met, they talked for hours — long after Brannon’s shift had ended. They agreed to meet up for a first date of sorts, at a group run. Fitting, for a professional runner. But Brannon wasn’t a runner. Still, he showed up, because he was interested — in Matt, not in running. Brannon went on to run 10 miles (alongside Stephanie Bruce), getting to know Matt in the process. They’ve been together every day since then. Today, Matt is a professional runner for Under Armour and Dark Sky Distance, and Brannon is the Chief Experience Officer of Mental Performance at HYPO2. On this episode, they talk about how running factors into their relationship today, and about the time Brannon tried to teach Matt about accounting while on a long run. (It…didn’t go well.)

One way was to fulfill orders for her crocheted Allie Resiliency Beanies that took off following her victory at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in late February 2020. The other way, she and her long-time boyfriend Tim Gannon decided, was to start a family. So this month, the 31-year-old Tuliamuk will give birth in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Then when she is physically ready, Tuliamuk will resume training with Northern Arizona Elite in Flagstaff to prepare for the Olympic marathon Aug. 7 in Sapporo, site of the 1972 Winter Olympics selected for distance events due to excessive summer heat in Tokyo. For Tuliamuk and Gannon, engaged to be married, the birth of their daughter already named Zoe will be a joyous start to 2021 that her coach believes will carry over through the hard work necessary to prepare for the Olympics.  "Aliphine is as happy as she's ever been, and I just think there's something to be said for that," NAZ Elite coach Ben Rosario said. "Any couple who's really wanted to have a baby then have one, sure there's stress that comes with that and sleepless nights. But overall there's joy. And Aliphine has always competed best when she's happy. Tuliamuk naturally was ecstatic after conquering the demanding trials course in Atlanta to win in 2:27.33 and become the first Olympic qualifier for NAZ Elite, going into its eighth year of operation. Her finish-line celebration with teammates Stephanie Bruce (sixth) and Kellyn Taylor (eighth) is one of the indelible 2020 Olympic sport memories before the Tokyo Games were postponed less than a month later. In early December, Tuliamuk made her pregnancy public via social media. "Tim and I always knew that we wanted to have a family," she said. "The goal was post 2020 Olympics. As it turned out this year had other plans. By mid-April we were convinced there will be no more races this season. The darkness ahead was too much, we created our own light at the end of the tunnel. "If anyone told me this would be the case 10 months ago, I would have called them crazy, but this is 2020.

Elevating American Distance Running: Ben Rosario  Ben Rosario is the head coach of the HOKA Northern Arizona Elite. His athletes have been wildly successful in recent years, with the most notable being Aliphine Tuliamuk's win at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. His athletes Stephanie Bruce and Kellyn Taylor also finished in the top ten of that race, and on the men's side, Scott Fauble, a 2:09 marathoner, came in 12th.   In this episode, Coach Claire talks to Ben about the Olympic Marathon Trials, focusing on how well his female athletes did, how HOKA NAZ treats female athletes, especially in light of the Nike Oregon Project, and why he thinks so many female runners are still posting PRs well into their 30s.  Ben also shares some great coaching advice, his training philosophy, and his insight into why so many world records have been posted during COVID.    At the time of this recording, Ben was preparing for The Marathon Project held on December 20. Coach Claire asks Ben for his predictions and will post the results here in the show notes following the race. Like many coaches, Ben started out as an accomplished runner himself as a member of the Hansons Brooks team and he competed in the Olympic Trials twice before turning to coaching full time.  In his six+ years with Northern Arizona Elite, Ben’s athletes have won U.S. National Titles in cross country and on the roads at 10k, the half marathon and the 25k, as well as New Zealand National Titles on the track and the roads.  HOKA NAZ Elite athletes have recorded 8 top-10 finishes at World Marathon Majors.The team has been represented at the World Cross Country Championships, the World Half Marathon Championships, and at the World Track and Field Championships.  His athletes have also competed at the European Athletics Championships, the Great Edinburgh International XC Meet, the NACAC Cross Country Championships, the NACAC Track Championships, the Pan American Cup Cross Country Meet and the Pan American Games.  In 2016, the team produced two sixth-place finishes at the Olympic Trials Marathon and two fourth-place finishes in the 10,000 meters at the Olympic Track and Field Trials. At the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials, four HOKA NAZ Elite athletes posted top 20 finishes, including three in the top eight in the women’s race led by Aliphine Tuliamuk–the Trials Champion.    Questions Ben is asked: 4:19 2020 has been pretty crazy for everyone in the world but specifically for the team that you lead, Northern Arizona Elite. Let's go back in time to February when you were getting ready for the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta. Can you take us back there and recap what you were thinking?   5:10 Atlanta is a pretty tough course with all the hills. Obviously that was not a problem for at least your female athletes.   5:28 Your athlete, Aliphine Tuliamuk, won the women's race and was planning to head to Tokyo when the world shut down. What was that like as her coach?   6:41 I would love to talk to you about Aliphine Tuliamuk’s recent announcement that she is pregnant and due in January. As her coach, I’m sure she came to you and said, “Hey, Ben, this is what I’m going to do.” What was that conversation like?    7:26 How tough was it keeping Aliphine’s pregnancy a secret?   8:33 You are quite experienced in elite mom runners. Several women on your team are moms and are still just killing it. I would love to talk about Kellyn Taylor, Stephanie Bruce. I would love to talk about Stephanie for a minute. She is almost 37 years old and still getting PRs in the 10K. How is that possible?   10:14 It didn’t used to be so long ago that mid-30s was old for a runner but now that’s not the case, and I think maybe it has something to do with belief, too, seeing all these new great examples.   11:06 I want to keep going back to the women because you have been coaching some really great ones obviously, and American women are seeing a resurgence in endurance running. American men maybe not so much. Would you want to talk about that?   12:32 I want to talk to you about how women are treated in this sport. We’ve all heard about the crazy things with the Nike Oregon Project and how Kara Goucher was treated when she was pregnant. I don’t think that it’s going to be the same story with Hoka. I would love to have you share what you could say about how Hoka supports its female athletes.   15:06 I think you’re right that when all that came out about the Oregon Project that we thought as fans, “Oh. This is the way they’re all treated.” But it’s great to hear that that’s not the case.   15:34 Whenever I get a coach on, I love to talk about coaching advice to hopefully help someone who’s listening become a better runner. Do you have different training approaches for the kids who come straight out of college than you do for your veteran elite runners?   17:03 Let’s talk in a little bit more detail about the training advice. Most runners get the advice hard days are hard; easy days are easy. But then you throw in some medium days. I think that’s where a lot of recreational runners trip up is those medium days. Can you talk about those and what they’re for and how you use them?   19:22 You don’t always have to run your hardest, right?   20:11 You're also a fan of high mileage and I want to know what that means to you because as runners we all want to run as much as possible but clearly there’s a point when high is too high. So what is that point? Obviously it’s individual, but how does somebody know what is high for them? Where’s that sweet spot?   22:51 Besides your athletes, this year we've seen so many world-record breaking performances in 2020, which seems counterintuitive since there have been so few races, the world is not normal, and people can’t train the way they usually do. What do you attribute that to?     24:14 I’m sure the cynics would say the number of world-record breaking performances in 2020 are because of the shoes or because there’s not enough drug tests in COVID. What do you say about those kinds of things?   25:25 So you think there should be regulations on running shoes like them being available to the public or there’s a stack height, that kind of stuff; is that what you mean?   27:00 What's next for you and your athletes?  How do you predict the running world will change in 2020?     28:29 This will probably air after the Marathon Project this weekend, but I would love to have you handicap it a little bit, tell us who’s all racing and what do you predict?   31:40 How many participants are there for the marathon? Questions I Ask Everyone:   32:17 If you could go back and talk to yourself when you started running, what advice would you give?   33:31 What is the greatest gift running has given you?    33:56 Where can listeners connect with you? Quotes by Ben: “I think what we’re learning is that women can run really well into their mid-to-late 30s, and we’re learning that not only from Steph but Shalane, Des, Kellyn, Molly Huddle; all kinds of women in the US and beyond are showing that in distance running, women keep getting better.”   “In general, my goal anyway is to keep people around here for a really long time. So we’re definitely taking a long-term approach and we’re not trying to necessarily throw everything at them right away. We’re trying to slowly add pieces over time, and you see that with the folks who have stayed with us for a long time just getting better and better and better and better, and that’s what we want.”    “I think uninterrupted training leads to great performances for anybody at any level.”   “The sport has a side to it now that is very technological. And so does golf. And so does swimming. And so does baseball, right? And every sport almost. And like all those other sports, we need to make sure that the playing field is fair.” Take a Listen on Your Next Run     Want more awesome interviews and advice?

Kara and Chris lead this episode starting with Ben on his beginnings and early inspirations in the sport. We talk about how and why he became a coach, how he developed the strong team dynamic at NAZ Elite, and of course, what it was like to cheer on his athletes to incredible finishes at the US Marathon Trials including Aliphine's victory. Then, we turn to his perspective on clean sport from his time as an athlete to what he believes needs to be done to truly make a difference in the fight against doping in our sport. Finally, we cover his team's approach to the current pandemic and what they are doing to stay ready for the delayed Olympics next year, including some fun ways that fans can engage in their journey. Ben is making big waves in our sport through Team NAZ Elite. He is direct and to the point about how to make our sport cleaner and more inspiring for all levels of athletes, and we are proud to help elevate his voice.

It seems all too perfect for International Women's Day to fall on the same day as the release of this interview. For this episode, we are excited to talk with the new queen of US marathoning Aliphine Tuliamuk who won the US Olympic Marathon Trials last weekend in Atlanta to punch her ticket to Tokyo. Aliphine is a living example of the American dream. She's Kenya-born, one of 32 children, and moved to the US for college, becoming a US citizen in 2016. She now trains with team Hoka NAZ Elite under coach Ben Rosario. At the Trials, she and teammates Stephanie Bruce and Kellyn Taylor finished 1st, 6th, and 8th respectively to show the power of women working and training together. In this interview, Kara and Shanna chat with Aliphine and get to hear her story from her beginnings in Kenya all the way through the finishing tape in Atlanta as an American Champion. Aliphine discusses adapting to life in the US, her collegiate career, transitioning to pro running without a contract for the first several years, almost quitting a few times, and surviving several major injuries before finally finding her home at NAZ Elite. Yes, she is a fast runner, but she is so much more than that as a bright light in our sport. You will see what we mean when you listen to Aliphine talk about her desire to be a nurse or when she discusses clean sport and the young girls she wants to inspire at the finish line of the NYC Mini 10K. We couldn't be more proud to have Aliphine representing the US in the Tokyo Olympics this summer!

The 4 year wait is over and the Olympic Marathon Trials are almost here. We break down the women's race and the men's race and actually have a little Tokyo Marathon and world record in the half marathon talk before the Trials talk. Full show notes below. This podcast is sponsored by HOKA ONE ONE. Seventeen HOKA athletes are running the Marathon Trials and LetsRun.com profiled them all.

Warning: if you listen to this episode, you might be inspired to run all-out hill repeats with an uncontrollable smile on your face. Sara's love and passion for running is THAT contagious! Sara is a 2:22 marathoner (#6 all-time), but like many of our interviewees in this series, her marathon time only tells a small part of the story. She is a multi-dimensional athlete and person, and Shanna and Kara explore it all in this discussion. Sara talks about her running career including how it began exploring the woods as a kid alone in her home state of California. She discusses her time at Stanford and what she learned from the great coach Dena Evans. She gives details on how her relationship with Ryan Hall began and how it has evolved through his elite running career to the present day with him as her coach. She shares what led them to adopt 4 orphan girls from Ethiopia and what it's been like integrating them into their life here in the US. And of course, we get her perspective on shoes and clean sport and how she wishes we could all experience the purity of the sport she fell in love with in the woods as a kid. Sara is one of the nicest people we know, but don't let that fool you. She is also a fierce competitor and will no doubt be making waves on the course in Atlanta. We can't wait to cheer her on as she tries to make her Olympic dream come true. Go Sara!  This episode concludes our series interviewing 9 of the top contenders for the Olympic Marathon Trials this weekend. It all started with Desiree Linden in episode #27 and continued with episodes #30-37 including Molly Huddle, Shadrack Biwott, Emily Sisson, Scott Fauble, Stephanie Bruce, Jared Ward, Kellyn Taylor, and this final one with Sara Hall. You have a few days left to binge-listen if you haven't already to get fully prepped for the big day on February 29th! We hope to see you at our shake-out run on Saturday at 8:30 am.

The butterflies are building and the Olympic Marathon Trials are almost here. As part of our HOKA Takes on the Trials sponsored coverage, we're profiling all the HOKA ONE ONE athletes running the 2020 Marathon Trials in Atlanta. We've covered the dreamers (how about a guy who didn't break 18:00 for 5k in high school?), the mountain men and women, and the category defying Jim Walmsley (podcast here). All that remains are the traditional contenders, the six HOKA NAZ Elite pros aiming for Tokyo. We talk to them all in this special podcast. First up are the three men: Scott Fauble (2:09 marathon #1 American in Boston, 3rd fastest in Trials), Scott Smith (2:11 in Chicago last year), and Sid Vaughn (the understudy) who are finishing off their preparations in Orlando. The 3 women are all ranked in the top 10 and we've got them individually. Kellyn Taylor (6th at the last Olympic Marathon Trails and the #4 seed at Trials), Aliphine Tuliamuk (9 time national champ), and Stephanie Bruce (2 time national champ).

In this episode, we stay with team NAZ Elite and interview Stephanie (Steph) Bruce. Not all superheroes wear capes and Steph Bruce is an example of that. You already know that she is fast (at both the marathon and 10K distances), but did you know that she's also a running coach, co-founder of Picky Bars, mom of two, and of course, advocate for women in sport and clean sport. In this interview, Shanna and Chris interview Steph, and we cover a wide range of topics. She discusses her running journey including the gut-wrenching turning point that transformed her from disinterested high school runner into the person that would become a committed champion. She talks about the moments and people that would have pushed others to quit and why she refused to do so.  She talks about her first experience running against an athlete who would later be busted for doping and provides an interesting perspective on why the shoe debate matters and why it can be hard for others to understand that. More than the stories and anecdotes, you learn that Steph's bright light comes from her raging fire of determination inside. She doesn't necessarily have a top seed in the Olympic Trials field by time, but you can guarantee that her hard work and fierce determination will make her a force to be reckoned with on February 29th in Atlanta. Go Steph go!

1 hour bonus talk with HOKA NAZ Elite coach Ben Rosario who joined us to kick of Marathon Month and HOKA ONE ONE's sponsored exploration of their 17 athletes running the Trials. 4 years ago, Rosario's runners Scott Fauble and Kellyn Taylor turned heads with their fourth place finish at the Track Trials. This time he's got an even stronger team with experienced marathoners Fauble, Taylor, Aliphine Tuliamuk, Stephanie Bruce, and Scott Smith . Their sights are set higher, "the people who try to win end up on the podium, the people who try to get third end up fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, etc," Rosario said.

This week's episode of the podcast is a “greatest hits” compilation of sorts to round out 2019. I've gone through and culled clips from nine of the most impactful exchanges I've had over the past year with some of the top athletes, coaches, and personalities in the sport of running. Why only nine? One, putting constraints in place forces me to think more critically about the choices I'm making and two, three rows of three photos looked best in the cover art for the show. I feel really fortunate that I get to have these deep and layered conversations each week—many of them have a profound effect on me and teach me something about running, coaching, or living a better life—that I then get to turn around and share with all of you on the podcast. In this episode you'll hear from Colleen Quigley, Frank Gagliano, Terrence Mahon, Hillary Allen, Brad Stulberg, Stephanie Bruce, Steve Jones, Sally McRae, and Ken Rideout. These guests in particular stood out to me amongst the dozens that I sat down with in 2019. They all bring something different to the mic and I am confident that you'll glean a valuable bit or insight or inspiration from each of them that will improve your life in some way. If you're a devout fan of the podcast, let this episode serve as a bit of a refresher course or maybe a reminder to revisit an old episode or two. For those of you who are newer listeners to the show, welcome. Use this episode as a nudge to check out some of the episodes you may have missed while also letting it serve as a primer for what's to come in 2020. Whether you've listened to one episode of the podcast or all of them, thank you. I'm so glad to have you along for the ride and sharing in these experiences with me.

Stephanie Bruce is one of the most popular American distance runners competing on the circuit. She has used her platform to build up women, inspire others and uplift U.S. distance running as a whole. And it doesn’t hurt that she’s having one of the best years of her professional career. 

Before this weekend's Chicago Marathon, Scott Fauble is joined by his Northern Arizona Elite teammates Scott Smith and Stephanie Bruce for the most in-depth discussion and hole-punching analysis of Home Alone. Synopsis: When bratty 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (Catherine O'Hara) makes him sleep in the attic. After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true. But his excitement sours when he realizes that two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence and that he alone must protect the family home. In case you're wondering how Scott and Steph are feeling before the Chicago Marathon, we touch on that...very briefly.

(HOKA NAZ Elite Coach Ben Rosario joins podcast for an hour at 83:53).Noah Lyles beat Christian Coleman for the first time ever at 100m and we may have the rivalry the sport needs. JUCO star Kenny Bednarek pulled a sub 20/sub 45 double that is almost unheard of but Michael Norman may have had the best 200 of the weekend. What about 100/200/400 high schooler Matt Boling? We have sprint talk the first 20 minutes of the podcast. Then a little discussion of another World Marathon Major (21:48), before we turn to discussing whether Paul Chelimo is in trouble or just starting the season more slowly because Worlds are later in the year (26:45). Then Running with the Buffaloes author Chris Lear is a surprise caller and he tells us about Noah Lyles parents and how Lyles' dad was great Seton Hall sprinter Kevin Lyles (35:48). We then discuss Sydney McLaughlin's Diamond League debut (40:00) and the incredible Shaunae Miller-Uibo. Our listener audio of the week (47:43) is from Fred and he wins a free pair of HOKA Carbon X shoes which are now here and he talks how hard it is to watch pro track and field in America and Jonathan Gault's love life and being a minority on LetsRun. We talk Gwen Jorgensen's surgery, the Bowerman Track Club and Alberto Salazar at 58:12 before discussing pro women runners and Alysia Montaño taking on Nike in the quest to get paid maternity leave (64:23).

In the intro to this podcast, we talk about Galen Rupp's return to the Chicago Marathon after Achilles surgery as well as results from the USATF Distance Classic at Occidental College including another amazing result from Stephanie Bruce.  Then, at 9:50 into the episode, I welcome two NY Times bestselling authors to the show in David Epstein and Alex Hutchinson to talk about David's new book Range: How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. David's first NY Times bestseller was The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance. Range is not a running book, but I believe it has application in the running training world. We talk about that and more in this far-ranging conversation with David and Alex starting with getting their perspectives on Eliud Kipchoge's newly announced attempt to break 2:00. You can pre-order Range here: https://www.amazon.com/Range-Generalists-Triumph-Specialized-World/dp/0735214484 You can find David's book The Sports Gene here:  https://www.amazon.com/Sports-Gene-Extraordinary-Athletic-Performance/dp/161723012X/

This week we're getting picky... about what's in our performance bars. Picky Bars is a gluten-free performance bar company in Bend, Oregon, started by three professional athletes (Jesse Thomas, Lauren Fleshman, and Stephanie Bruce) looking for a better bar. We love them in the office because that's a type of performance, too, right? Right.  Listen in to hear the results of their Heartline Assessment, our influencer dream team, and who really ate all the Picky Bars in the office.

Wake up: It’s time to talk about sleep! Sarah Bowen Shea and her BRF, Molly Williams, chat about all facets of sleep, answering questions from the AMR Facebook page, with two guests: Ellen Wermter, a family nurse practitioner at Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine, then professional distance runner Stephanie Bruce. First up is Nurse Ellen, who reveals the optimal average of hours we should be sleeping (the number might surprise you)—and she offers welcome reassurance that it’s normal to have one or two interruptions during the night. (Is that a baby crying we hear—or our partner snoring?!) She shares ways to get deeper sleep plus tips for staying asleep. The sleep-nurse also reveals ways to break the habit of recurring middle-of-night fret sessions. Find out what a “worry window” is—and why taking a daily one can improve your slumber sessions. Next on the sleep train is pro runner Stephanie Bruce, who tells why she was able to set personal records in both the 10K and marathon in 2018. This mom of two preschool-age sons reveals bedtime rituals—both hers and that of her young family. (#apples) Stephanie shares how she stopped suffering from night sweats. In talking about sleep hygiene, Stephanie tells how she adjusts for races in distant time zones. In the introductory chitchat, the running partners tell tales about that morning’s tempo run and their debut float-chamber sessions.

"Things are going to be uncomfortable in life. You're going to have uncomfortable runs, uncomfortable races, uncomfortable conversations with family and friends, or standing up to your boss if you feel like you deserve a raise. All things like that, I think are just giving you a little more courage and a little more pep in your step to really stand up for what you believe in and push through those hard days and know that you're going to see light at the end of the tunnel.” Thrilled to welcome Stephanie Bruce of Hoka Northern Arizona Elite to the show this week. The 35-year-old mom of two young boys is a 2:29 marathoner, co-founder of Picky Bars, online running coach, and oh yeah, reigning national 10K champion on the roads. In this episode, we discussed what she's focused on from a training and racing standpoint right now, why she thinks it's important to get out of your comfort zone when it comes to racing, and the changes coach Ben Rosario has made to her training in the past several years that have contributed to her recent success. We also talked about the marathon and her biggest limiters in that event, what it will take to make the 2020 Olympic marathon team in Atlanta, who she looks up to in the sport, where she gets her grittiness from, how to cultivate it in your own life, and a whole lot more.

Stephanie Bruce has been a professional US long distance runner for 10 years. She runs a 2:29 marathon and placed 10th and 11th at the NYC Marathon 2017/2018. She's also finished in the top 10 of the London Marathon. Which when you're talking 40,000+ competitors is no mean feat. In 2018 she won her first US national title at the Peachtree Road Race, a story she recounts in today's episode that gave me excitement chills. She’s also recently been named in the US Cross Country team to compete in the World Cross Country Champs in March 2019. Stephanie has also tried to make the US Olympic team four times and in today's episode shares a great re-frame of what not achieving that goal yet means to her. You have to check it out. But that's not all. Stephanie is also a mum, a coach and an entrepreneur. All of which she covers in today's episode of Mental Strength Conversations. In this episode Stephanie and I talk about her take on mental strength. From how she used the loss of her father to re-frame her approach to running and give herself the mental foundation to tackle any challenge, to how and why she views pressure as something positive, the 10/90 principle and why it's important to bear that in mind when you're training Stephanie also talks about her approach to setting goals, her battle with injury and how it's helped shape her as a person and an athlete, how she overcomes feeling pain in a race plus why Stephanie never quits no matter how much it hurts. I really enjoyed talking to Stephanie given she competes in a sport I see as a necessary evil. I think I'm coming around team! To see why check out today's episode of Mental Strength Conversations.

The Miles to Trials interviews are going to be interviews with runners who have qualified for the US Olympic Trials in our typical interview format. Sam Roecker was kind enough to be our first interview, and we were thrilled to talk to her. Sam Roecker finished third at the US Marathon Championships at CIM in 2018 with a 2:30:25 marathon time behind Emma Bates and Stephanie Bruce. We got to talk to her about what she does for a living, how she fits running in around her job, how she got to where she is from middle school to now, and what's next for her in the run up to the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials and Tokyo. You can follow Sam on Instagram at @samroecker and on Twitter at @samroecker_.  The 1609 Podcast is a proud member of the CITIUS MAG Podcast Family!

To All the Mothers that Run Choosing to be a mother is one of the most selfless acts a person can do. From the moment a child begins to grow in the womb, a mother completely changes. The miracle that occurs as your body changes to support another human being is both wonderful and overwhelming. Pain, joy, tears, and smiles. It’s a physical and emotional rollercoaster. Mothers who are runners must make many decisions about their children and their running routines. Can I run while I’m pregnant? When can I start running again after my child is born? Is it okay for me to leave my child at the day care while I run? When can I take my kids running with me? Stephanie Bruce, one of today’s elite female runners, is also a mother of two. She has experienced a professional running career both before and after childbirth. On today’s episode of the Running for Real podcast, she shared her thoughts on balancing a running career with motherhood. Listen or read along to learn more about what it means to be a runner and a mother. Mom Guilt Especially during the first few months of your newborn’s life, you are likely to experience “Mom Guilt.” Mom guilt is the feeling you get anytime you step away from your baby to do something that may seem selfish. Whether it’s getting a pedicure, or having an extended workout session, mom guilt is lurking close by. “Doing the things that might appear selfish on paper are so important for you to be a better mom and a better wife,” says Steph. Each month she gets together with a group of friends to have a “Bad Moms’ Night Out” just to have time to check in with people and talk about motherhood.  It’s important to remember that when you take care of yourself and your needs, you perform better as a mother. And that doesn’t just mean physically. Taking care of your social and emotional needs are just as important. When you spend time on yourself, the time you spend with your children will be more intentional and loving. An Acceptable Recovery Period The most important thought you can have as a newborn mother is that your situation is unique. It’s important to avoid comparing yourself to other runners that aren’t mothers, and it’s equally important not to compare yourself to other mothers. That being said, here are a few things you can expect as you begin to run after giving birth. 6 Weeks Postpartum. You just had your baby, but you may start to feel anxious about getting back out there to run. A good thing to remember at this phase is that you have a lifetime to recover and get back into running, but your baby will only be this old for a short period of time. Try not to miss those beautiful moments. 3-4 Months Postpartum. It’s been a somewhat significant amount of time now. You have probably started running again. Even though you feel like you may be able to get back into a routine at this point, it can be a very difficult period. Babies often have sleep regressions at this time. Avoid dwelling on long-term goals and just focus on one thing at a time. Make one good meal for yourself. Get in one good nap. Have one good run. Baby steps. 6 Months Postpartum. This is a crucial time for you. Your baby can spend longer periods of time on its own or with others. Avoid the comparison trap! You may be able to start training as frequently as you were before your baby, but that doesn’t mean you are the same person. 1 Year Postpartum. A full year. This is a good time for you to reflect on your goals and aspirations while you fully take in what the last year has been for you. Do you still have the same goals? What’s important to you at this stage of your life? If you have the same goals, what are you now willing to sacrifice to accomplish them? Even after a year, your body may not feel the same as before. Be patient. Dig deep. You can find the grit you need to be what you want. Finding Grit Being a mother and a runner takes serious grit. There needs to be something that powers you, something that lets you accomplish the daily tasks and pushes you to go even further. Grit is that something. “The whole idea of grit [is that] we can all find our own grit in our lives,” says Stephanie, “Maybe it’s running, maybe it’s a death in the family, maybe it’s getting through a divorce, or getting through depression. Whatever it is, if we can have a word or a meaning to take hold of, I think it can help us get through the very dark times in our lives.” As you balance your life between motherhood, running, and whatever else it is that you do, look for something that can be your personal grit. Take a hold of it and repeat it to yourself whenever times get tough. You CAN make it through all the tough miles in life.

In this episode, Chris leads an interview with Ben Rosario, self-described running nerd and the head coach and director of NAZ Elite. Ben coaches top US marathoners Stephanie Bruce, Kellyn Taylor, Scott Fauble, Scott Smith and others. We start with his take on recent current events in running - the US Marathon Champs at CIM and the US Club XC Champs in Spokane, WA. Ben had athletes competing at both so he talks about their results and his take on the races at the front of each. Then, we turn to other questions including: - What was it like racing in the 2004 Olympic Trials where his Brooks/Hansons teammate Brian Sell made the race with a bold race from the front? - What has he learned from Eliud Kipchoge? - What core training principles drive his team's results? - What are examples of marathon-specific, long-run workouts used by his team? - How does he prepare his athletes for the mental demands of the marathon? - What is he looking for in athletes that join his team? And more... Also, look for more details on the book he mentioned - Inside a Marathon - here:  https://www.nazelite.com/inside-a-marathon/.

"When I think something is hard or challenging, I think of how I’m going to grow from it." —Stephanie Bruce Happy TCS New York City Marathon Week! The professional field is stacked this year, and among the top competitors is Stephanie Bruce, who trains and races with NAZ Elite and is sponsored by Hoka One One.

She opens up about her health struggles over the years, talks about how she's feeling going into this year's race, and gets super honest about "body stuff." Steph trains in Flagstaff, AZ, where she lives with her husband, Ben Bruce, and their sons Hudson and Riley. Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show!

"I'm not trying to build some empire where I need to be liked by as many people as possible. I just want to be myself and be myself publicly—until I don't anymore, then I'll just shut down all my social media accounts." Stoked to welcome Lauren Fleshman to the podcast this week! Fleshman, who turns 37 on Wednesday, is a retired professional athlete who still maintains sponsorships with Oiselle and a number of other brands. She's won two national titles, has represented the United States in numerous international competitions, and, in 2011, placed seventh in the 5,000m at the world championships in South Korea. These days, Fleshman wears a lot of hats: mom to two young children, wife to professional triathlete Jesse Thomas, co-founder of Picky Bars along with Thomas and professional marathoner Stephanie Bruce, coach of Little Wing, a small group of elite female runners based in Bend, Oregon, practicing writer, and one of running's most outspoken advocates on a variety of topics and issues. We talked about a lot of different things over the course of this 60-ish minute conversation: coaching, how the various coaches she worked with throughout her own athletic career have influenced her current perspective and philosophy, and what can be done to create more opportunities for coaches, especially females; Picky Bars, and how she and husband Jesse Thomas don't let the business consume every moment of their lives; her recent recommitment to leaving the sport better than she found it and using her platform to spur meaningful change even though she's no longer competing; her current relationship with running and what she misses most about being a professional athlete; what's changed in the sport since she turned pro in 2003 and whether or not she's worried about the sport's future; the advice she'd give 21-year-old Lauren upon graduating college; writing, when it came into her life, and what her process looks like; and much, much more.

Director of Nutritional Services Stephanie Bruce discusses changes for 2018-School Year

Several CITIUS MAG Podcast listeners have requested an episode with Stephanie Bruce and we finally made it happen! Steph is on a roll this summer with a third place finish at the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships 10,000 meters, which she then followed up with a win at the AJC Peach Tree 10K (U.S. 10K Championships). That win marked her first U.S. national title and a personal best (32:21) by more than 30 seconds. We caught up with Stephanie before the end of her summer racing season to discuss how she managed to bottle up her fitness and disappointment from the London Marathon in April and turn it into a breakthrough at 34 years old. A win in Atlanta in 2018 is good but one in 2020 when the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials roll into town would be even better. We discussed the outlook of the women's marathoning scene and her approach to such a deep era in the sport. Stephanie is also a mother to two boys. She's been very open on social media about how she manages to be a good mom and professional runner. We discuss her road back into competitive running post-pregnancy with some advice for other women. Plus listener questions and a new addition to the famous final three questions. It's now the Famous Final Four! All that and more on the latest episode of THE CITIUS MAG Podcast.

 Stephanie Bruce just won her first National Title at the Peachtree 10K – something she’s wanted and worked for for over a decade. So many experiences in between, including having... The post Episode 130: Stephanie Bruce Bonus appeared first on Lindsey Hein.

“When I'm dealing with pressure from racing and stuff, I just tell myself, 'This is an opportunity of a lifetime.' When I was growing up, or I started running, I never thought that I would be the person that I am today. I never thought that I would be living in America, that I would be an independent woman doing my own thing. I have an opportunity that not a lot of people have—like not even my role models when I was in Kenya, they don't have the opportunities that I have here. And so when I have that pressure, I just tell myself that I am in a better place and I don't want to complain because this is not going to last forever and so I try to just enjoy the process.” All she does is win, win, win, no matter what. Super excited to welcome nine-time U.S. national champion Aliphine Tuliamuk to the podcast. Tuliamuk went wire-to-wire to win the U.S. half-marathon championship in Pittsburgh on May 6 and followed that up less than a week later with her third-straight U.S. 25K title in Grand Rapids on May 12. The 29-year-old Tuliamuk, a native of Kenya who became a U.S. citizen in 2016, lives in Flagstaff, Arizona and trains with coach Ben Rosario's HOKA Northern Arizona Elite squad. She's a graduate of Wichita State University, where she was 14-time All-American and earned a degree in public health. “Without running, I would never have these opportunities,” Tuliamuk told me. “I have met some really, really incredible people in my life. And things have changed for me through running. It's just amazing and running has changed so much for me. I think I get that drive from there. The things I'm able to do for my family—to be able to help my siblings pay their tuition—and if I wasn't running, if I wasn't here in America, I wouldn't be able to do that. So I get that drive just because I am in a position where I can do things, and if I stop being self-motivated, then I'm not going to be able to do anything. And I feel like I still have so much in me. And people see me and they're like, “Wow, you're so accomplished.” But when I think about it, I just feel like I haven't done much. I feel like I haven't hit the jackpot that I need to. And so I still have to have self-drive in order to get to that point.” In this episode, we dive into Tuliamuk's story and what it was like to grow up in a small village in Kenya with 31 siblings. We also discuss her origins in running, her earliest recollections of racing and competition, and what led her to attend college in the U.S. Finally, we talk about what it was like assimilating to life in a new country, the differences she sees between Kenyan runners and American runners, why she's excited to train alongside Stephanie Bruce and Kellyn Taylor in the lead-up to the 2020 Olympic Trials Marathon, how she deals with pressure in competitive situations, the importance of national championship races to her as a new U.S. citizen, where she hopes to invest her time and energy when her running career is over, and much, much more.

Today you are listening to episode 16, and my guest is Sarah Mac Robinson- known in the running world as “Mac”. Little behind the scenes secret- I send out an info packet to my upcoming guests, and there is a section with a questionnaire that I ask people to fill out, so I can get an idea of how they introduce themselves. As an introduction to Sarah I’ll read you hers- “I’m Sarah MacKay Robinson. Known by many as Mac. I’m 34, living in Tacoma WA, I place I couldn’t have found on the map for a million dollars in high school. I graduated a million years ago (2006) with a English Creative Writing BA with a` focus in Poetry from Colorado State University where I also ran XC and Track. I have worked in marketing from the first week out of school, and currently am a freelance brand storyteller (for lack of a better term). I have a 3-year-old daughter, and am pregnant with her brother”. While I love Sarah’s short and sweet introduction to herself, I’m going to throw in a few more details. Sarah is one determined lady. She made the brave decision to train in the hopes of running an OTQ when , as she put it “she had no solid grounds for believing it would/could happen”. Guess what ya’ll, it did- and when Sarah was only 14 months postpartum. I loved learning the in depth story behind her first attempt at an OTQ training buildup- in which she accosted a coach at a bar, convinced him to coach her, and then ran home because like I said- she’s a determined lady. Her second build up was catapulted into fruition when the tables were turned, and Sarah was accosted at a party by Stephanie Bruce who convinced her that she needed to be training. I was really touched by this piece of Sarah’s story because it is a true example of women supporting women, and being an ally to another mother, another runner, another woman. We could all use more friends like that in our lives. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chasing-bravery/support

By now you have probably heard of Oiselle, the running apparel brand for women, changing the running world through sharing their journey of vulnerability and openness, and celebrating the whole athlete, rather than just their athletic performance. With athletes like Kara Goucher, Lauren Fleshman, and Stephanie Bruce proudly wearing their clothes, Oiselle is determined to show that success is so much more than medals, podiums, and rankings, for every runner. Sally talks about how running saved her life in many ways, and how our communities and friendships can make all the difference to how confident we are as people.  She tells us why she chose the name Oiselle, and I even ask whether it was worth the confusion of many people becoming confused by the word. We also get to hear the story of how Sally enticed Lauren Fleshman into their brand...and how the team responded when they knew Lauren had bought in (you will love their reaction!).  Sally understands that running with joy is about the feeling of freedom and flight. When you are on a run, the ability to be present in moment and have our bodies taking us through the world is the most beautiful thing, and something only runners will understand. We talk openly about the broken relationship between USATF and Nike (and how this partnership is locked in till 2040!!). You will learn many things otherwise untold about the dark side of running, and then how you can make a difference in your world, with the decisions you make to improve the running industry by helping with causes that are meaningful to you. This episode is powerful and vulnerable. Sally does not do many interviews, so I was honored to talk to her today, and I think you will learn a lot too. Today's Guest Sally Bergensen Founder and CEO of Oiselle, an athletic apparel company. Known for being a running and women's activist who speaks up for athletes and is trying to make the running world a better and more fair place.  Resources Mentioned Last week's interview with Nicole Detling  Oiselle website Oiselle Volee  Thank you to Generation UCAN and BodyHealth for sponsoring this episode of Running for Real.

Sarah Conklin is perhaps best known on the internet as the blogger behind “Once Upon a Lime.” She lives in Bend, OR, where she works for Picky Bars, the sports bar company founded by professional athletes Lauren Fleshman, Jesse Thomas, and Stephanie Bruce. Before that, she worked for Oiselle, the women’s athletic wear company, and was an avid marathoner. Now, after taking a bit of a break from the marathon distance, Sarah is back at it, training under Lauren Fleshman’s guidance. On this episode, we talked about everything from what a day in the life of a Picky Bars employee is like (bonus: it sometimes includes starting the day on the ski slopes) to failed Boston Qualifying attempts to getting a divorce in your twenties. Sarah was super open and honest, and offered up some great insights about relationships, growing up, and changing her perspective on running.
