  • MRWH: Fitz Koehler, Fit to Fight
    "Prepare your body to fight today" - Fitz Koehler
    In Buffalo New York a few weeks ago, I was introduced to one of the most vibrant spirits I’ve ever encountered - charging me and thousands of runners and spectators with her self-proclaimed “noise” throughout the weekend. Our guest today, Fitz Koehler, is proof that energy and attitude are gifts we can share with others.
    She specializes in fitness education and has turned her passion for life into a career helping others get excited about movement.
    In addition to being a speaker, author, and professional race announcer, Fitz is an active mother, supporting wife, and a cancer survivor. Her book, "My Noisy Cancer Comeback", is a story of grit and determination inspiring hope to anyone needing a push to be strong and fight for their life.

  • MRWH: Doing Less…100 Miles at a Time

    Meg Landymore is on a mission to do less and live more. She is passionate about her role as a mom, and devoted to self-care and serving others through running. She is used to living life in the fast lane and rather than blame her anxiety for holding her back, she credits it for her ability to get things done. She gets down and dirty often as an extreme ultra runner but in this episode, she shows her true grit by exposing the mental health challenges and disordered behaviors she has battled from childhood. I'm honored she took this opportunity to share her story with us. Join me as we embark on this inspiring trek through Meg's life as a Military Veteran, Mom, Extreme Ultra Marathoner, and Entrepreneur who is trying to do less …100 miles at a time.

  • MRWH: Growing Up FAST, Cole Cosgrove
    At 13, Cole Cosgrove is the youngest guest we’ve ever had on the show. His coach, Sam Lomax, raves on social media that he is the next super star. Cole consistently places first in his age group but what got my attention was his presence among the running community. The mutual respect between him and the other athletes. The respect reserved for those of us who always take our next best step. The respect shared between runners of every age. He is proof that sport is the true equalizer and racing is where we meet on common ground. On this episode we talk to him and his parents, Matthew and Kara Cosgrove, about running and learn what drives Cole's passion for excellence at such a young age.

  • MRWH: TRAUMA, Running is NOT a Replacement for Therapy
    In this episode, we're talking to Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), Ilene Smith!
    Somatic Healing provides the foundation to help resolve trauma symptoms and relieve chronic stress and pain in the body. Through her work, Ilene is able to support the body tissue memory and nervous system to create synergy between the body and mind. Ilene’s book, Moving Beyond Trauma: The Roadmap to Healing from Your Past and Living with Ease and Vitality, helps the reader develop a new relationship with their history and understand the importance of bringing the body into the healing process when trying to resolve issues related to trauma.
    The intention of this conversation is to better understand our relationship to running and if it indicates a need for somatic healing. This is a fascinating listen for runners, and anyone who knows something in their life doesn't feel right, feels disconnected from their experiences, or like they don't feel anything at times. We also touch on the link between eating disorders and trauma.
    Her book is hard to put down if you're a trauma survivor, or have ever struggled with an eating disorder, or a disordered relationship to exercise. Find out more on her website at: https://ilenesmith.com/

  • MRWH: Linking Success and Endurance Sports
    Does running inspire success or are people who are successful drawn to endurance sports? According to an essay he wrote for his fellowship for sports medicine, running is what made Eric Thomson a doctor. It's no surprise that pushing ourselves to extreme limits makes other goals in our life seem reachable. In this episode, Dr. Thomson and I talk about his adventurist past including his time as a wild land firefighter and as a navy hospital corpsman. Listen as we explore the link between success and running through one man's journey to peak personhood.

  • MRWH: Amby Burfoot, When Runners Grow Up
    Amby Burfoot won the 1968 Boston Marathon, was a long time editor for Runners World Magazine, and has authored several running books but his proudest running accomplishment is that he has run the same Thanksgiving Day 5 mile road race 59 years in a row. To Amby, it's about sticking with the things we have pursued. He values persistence and fortitude, and believes being a champion is more about feats of endurance than breaking the tape. HE may not know what he wants to be when he grows up, but I think it's pretty clear to the rest of us that his fate is sealed as THE icon for longevity in running.

  • MRWH: Dean Karnazes, A Mortal?
    Dean doesn't want us to think of him as super human. He is just like us, and his relatability is what makes him most inspiring. He believes ordinary people can do extraordinary things. For all the Baltimore locals, Dean tells us how he felt about running the Baltimore Marathon course! Spoiler, he likes hills. We also hit on most random topics such as his craziest encounters with wild animals. His new book "A Runner's High" is Dean's real life story - a mortal man who chooses to overcome adversity with grit and humor in order to demonstrate what IS possible when we put one foot in front of the other in running and in life.
