This week’s episode is extra special as Becs chats with not one but two amazing guests: Peloton Instructor Jeffrey McEachern and NYRR Chief Event Production Officer and Race Director Ted Metellus. Jeffrey shares his running journey from his first steps during a low point in 2015 to running a half marathon while crying tears of joy to completing five of the Abbott World Marathon Majors in 18 months—and now on his way to getting his Six Star medal in Tokyo on March 2. Professionally he’s gone from working in the fast-food industry to becoming a talent recruiter for the Voice of Germany to being a Peloton Tread Instructor known as the “chief of good vibes,” inspiring runners around the world. And Ted shares all the details runners and spectators need to know about the United Airlines NYC Half, set for March 16 and featuring an exciting course change with runners crossing the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time in NYRR race history! You won’t want to miss this one.
