Everyday Athlete Podcast Network

I’m Jason Bahamundi, and this  Shoutout Nation. Think of this shows as your weekly dose of positivity, laughter, and community. This Everyday Athlete spotlight celebrates runners and endurance athletes who inspired me over the past 7 days.

We highlight a sub-2 hour half marathoner, a simple act of kindness, a Fast & Furious mindset, and a powerful reminder about mental health and joy. This podcast is about real people, real stories, and why the running community matters.

Annijke Wade is an everyday athelte that shares what it means to get outdoors through adaptive mountain biking—from the mindset shifts that make “getting back out there” possible, to the practical realities of learning trail skills, finding community, and navigating accessibility in cycling spaces.

In this episode, we cover

• What adaptive mountain biking is (and the many ways “adaptive” can look)
• Rebuilding confidence after a life change—and why progress isn’t linear
• Getting started: choosing trails, pacing, and setting realistic expectations
• The mental game: fear, risk, and learning to trust your body again
• The role of community (and how to find the right people to ride with)
• Accessibility on trails: what helps, what’s missing, and how riders can advocate
• Why representation in outdoor sports matters—and how it impacts participation

Everyday Athlete stories go beyond finish times and this episode proves it.

In this Fireside Chat, I sit down with December Ambrose and Krista Parks to explore race accessibility, inclusion, and what endurance sports are missing.

December shares the real challenges wheelchair athletes face, from inaccessible porta potties to limited registration options.

Krista reflects on learning how to better support adaptive athletes on course.

This conversation highlights why the everyday athlete experience must include everyone at the starting line.

If we want stronger communities in running, we need to rethink race design, volunteer training, and advocacy for all athletes.

What if the problem isn’t your running… but where you’re trying to belong? This is a question that nearly every everyday athlete can ask themselves.

In this episode of Enduring Minds, I sit down with Evan Birch and Victor Zeitoune to explore what it means to build an inclusive running community for the everyday athlete. Victor shares how feeling out of place in traditional run clubs led him to co-create Almost Friday Run Club. T his run club is a space where pace doesn’t matter and connection comes first.

We dive into the creation of the $1 Ultra, a grassroots endurance event that turned strangers into a community and helped everyday athletes redefine success beyond finish times. Our conversation goes deeper than miles, touching on grief, purpose, and the mantra “If it hurts, good,” inspired by Victor’s late co-founder.

From the Atacama Desert to New York City streets, this episode highlights how endurance sports can shape identity, connection, and self-discovery.

If you’ve ever questioned where you fit as an everyday athlete, this conversation will remind you that you already belong.

Everyday Athlete conversations hit different when music is involved. As an everyday athlete, I’ve learned your playlist says more about you than your pace ever will.

In this episode of What’s In Your Earbuds?, Joe and I dive into unexpected music tastes, community playlists, and how music connects endurance athletes across all levels. From Disney songs to heavy metal, nothing is off limits.

Then it gets weird in the only way that What's In Your Earbuds can ge weird. We start talking about Fraggle Rock, The Muppets, and a wild “Last Muppet Standing” race idea.

This podcast is about running, laughter, nostalgia, and building community through music.

So tell me… what’s in your earbuds right now?
