Kinda Fast Podcast | Episode 23 – Kinda The Thanksgiving Episode

In this Thanksgiving week episode, Claire and Travis pause the pace charts and talk gratitude. Instead of focusing on PRs and race goals, they each share three real-life gifts running has given them—from being able to play with their kids, to having a built-in escape and community, to still chasing big goals in their 40s.

You’ll also hear:

• What Does That Even Mean? – “Masters Runner” What it really means to be a Masters Runner (40+), why the term is way cooler than “middle-aged,” and how Masters athletes are quietly dominating finish lines.
• Thanksgiving Running Trivia Claire puts Travis on the spot with holiday-themed running trivia while listeners play along.
• Running News • A new horror film, Ultra, based on the Badwater 135: 135 miles through Death Valley in brutal heat and elevation. • An incredible update on Ali Truwit, who lost part of her leg in a 2023 shark attack and still completed the NYC Marathon with family and friends, raising $220,000 for a prosthetics charity.
• Thanksgiving Special: 6 Things to Be Thankful For Claire and Travis share: • Moving with your kids instead of just watching from the sidelines • Finding a hobby that becomes both an escape and a community • Having space to think, process, and pray on the run • The gift of health and the privilege of being able to move • Staying healthy and grounded through the holidays • Still having big goals to chase in your 40s and beyond

This episode is for anyone who needs a reminder that running is about more than numbers on a screen. It’s about gratitude, community, and seeing every mile as a gift from God.
