    • #59 Running Outside Yourself
      Strengthening your body through running or lifting weights, not only benefits you physically, but often times, the biggest benefit comes, relationally. As we challenge ourselves with big goals, races, and getting stronger, we have the ablitly to connect with others who are on the same journey. These common grounds prove to be great places to learn about others' stories, goals, and can even lead to new friends.
      Listen in as Sally shares a few specific stories on connecting with others & how her life has been changed for the better because of them! Sally also shares about her current Western States 100 training and the importance of staying aware of life around you, as you train and work toward your goals!

    • #54 Powerful Attributes of an Effective Coach

      In this episode, Sally sits down with her friends, Billy Yang and Jason Koop! Sally has been fortunate enough to call Jason her coach this past year & she thought it was fitting to sit down with him to chat about all things coaching.


      Jason is the head coach of CTS Ultrarunning with 20+ years of coaching experience. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the science of running and programming, but in this episode, Sally draws out the character, personality and passion, that is behind "Coach Koop".


      You will be encouraged as you hear how Jason got started in coaching, his background, the emphasis that he places on relationships when coaching and insights of how he approaches each athlete, uniquely, when programing their training plan.

            In this episode we recap the BUSY marathon weekend from bib pick-up at the LA Marathon expo, Isaiah's 16th birthday party, Makenzie's late night race at Sound Running and the play by play of Eddie's marathon debut!

            Also, listen in as Sally shares how we all interact with pain differently and how important it is to not give it attention. She also shares how we have the freedom/choice to determine our race goals and the amazing things we can accomplish when we choose to push through discomfort.


            We hope you are encouraged!
