Keep the Pace Run Club is an inclusive run coaching group here in New York City. You know how much we value community here at Reload so today’s cohost Dr. Joe Lipsky and I were ecstatic to sit and chat with 2/3 founding members Bethany Welch and Kyle Bergman who are not only coaches with a combined 30 years of experience in the fitness industry but they’re best friends!

Bethany and Kyle refer to themselves as students of endurance. Bethany has completed marathons, ultra-marathons, and a half-ironman triathlon. Kyle has completed 6 Olympic and half-ironman distance races in the last 12 months alone.

Some things to look forward to in this interview are the mental health benefits of running with a community, we go overrun safety, advice on how to stay motivated when the runs get tough, and the role strength training plays as a runner..just to name a few things.

Thank you Bethany and Kyle for sharing your experience with us today. If you love today’s episode please rate, subscribe, and review. If you think of a loved one who could benefit from today’s episode please share this episode with them.

Thank you, Sam Richman for sharing your story on the Move Without Limits summer mini series Stories We Love.

At 18 years old Sam was told by doctors that she would never run again. But if they could only see her now! Sam has spent the last 10 years of pain management and rehab proving them wrong. She has gone through shattered bones, multiple hip and knee surgeries and complex regional pain syndrome. Sam's story is not only a testament to how she built physical resilience and took ownership of her training but how she developed the mental strength and tools to create her own happiness. 

If you ask Sam there is no option to NOT be patient in rehab and training. The best things take time but you need to BELIEVE that they can happen before that happen.

Listen to gain perspective on:

• The power of being vulnerable and being present in vulnerability
• Having ownership of your own story, happiness and outcomes
• Tools to work on your relationship with pain

Thank you, Carl for sharing your story on the Move Without Limits summer mini series Stories We Love.

Carl began competitive cycling, skiing and running in the mountains 65 years ago. May 2022 Carl got what he calls a "wake up call" from an achilles tendon rupture and his first ever major accident and injury. According to Carl, just about every exercise he learns now is new and exciting. 

Listen to gain perspective on:

• How most of Carl's success is due to proactively learning how to train on his own
• The dynamics of Marc & Carls relationship. Including the appreciation of how every person's approach to physical activity has to do with their own character and is untransferable. Learn how as a physical therapist Marc adapts training to fit Carls specific needs including living in NYC and his learning style.  
• How Carl navigates frustration, discomfort, and refraining from making excuses to become stronger
