Maybe Running Will Help?

Listen in to my conversation with Harvard Professor, Daniel E. Lieberman. He’s the man when it comes to how and why the human body looks and functions the way it does!

He is most well known for his interest in how evolutionary approaches to activities such and walking and running, as well as changes to our body’s environments can help better prevent and treat musculoskeletal diseases.

Listen in to learn how running “works” for us, why it’s so hard to get started, and what benefits it has on our community. We also discuss super shoes, the Boston marathon, and what not to say to new runners!

I’m so honored to share him with you!

This episode was recorded in May 2022. So, first - I'm sorry for the delay in bringing you this incredible guest that I know you are all excited to hear. Now let's get into the show details!

Erin Azar is an expert "Struggle Runner" and has gained a following over hundreds of thousands on her social media platforms including Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. When I spoke with her she had completed the New York City Marathon (2021) and recently returned from an appearance at the 2022 Boston Marathon.  

Since then she has gained even more popularity, become even more lovable, and even held the finish line at the USATF National Championships and hosted the post race interviews with the pros!

In this episode we get to know Erin, how she became Mrs. Space Cadet, and why we should all find our own path in running and in life.

Till next time, have a great run everybody :)

Behind the scenes of racing events and the communities who support them :) Check out this episode for an inside look at what goes into our favorite events. This is a perspective we all need to hear! We truly have the best community around, and I have no doubt you'll be inspired to cross the finish after exploring the how and the why behind our sport. When does planning start? How did covid impact races? What do race directors do about cheating? How is the community involved and does the race impact the people along the course? What are the biggest concerns for RD's? Weather complications, and how do they prepare for hazardous conditions? What are the rules and why are those rules important? Our guest today is Greg Weber, the RD for the Buffalo marathon. In this episode,  we'll also talk about the tragic shooting at the Tops grocery store in Buffalo days before the marathon and how the community came together to support each other on race day. A special thanks to Greg and all the passionate volunteers who keep us coming back together. This episode is proof that good is the new cool!
