RunBuzz Running Podcast

In this episode of the RunBuzz podcast, I speak with obstacle course racer, American Ninja Warrior and podcaster, Lani Woods.

Lani overcame a traumatic knee injury to come back as an American Ninja Warrior contestant on Season 13. We will dig into her past, about how she overcame such a tough injury at a Spartan race, and how she is helping bring endurance sports, and health and wellness to kids as well as the black community overall.

Lani is cohost of the Black With Endurance podcast as well as the Unrelenting Humans podcast.

In this episode I speak with Sandra Mikulic, an amazing, inspiring women who has overcome challenges as a heavier runner as well as issues with self-esteem to become a confident runner who is stronger (and healthier) than ever. In this episode we discuss the challenges she faced and how she used running as a key to overcome her mindset. You will not want to miss this one! Truly Inspiring!

In this episode, I speak with Jenn Drummond. As a busy mom of 7, Jenn is out to set a world record to be the first woman to climb all seven, second summits (the second tallest mountains in each of the seven continents). She is also climbing Mount Everest this May to prepare for the more challenging K2 summit later this Summer. In 2018, she was in a near-fatal accident that helped transform her life. Jenn's story is one of grit, perseverance and is inspiring to all who hear it. Jenn shares mindset tips and teaches us to find our "Everest" whatever that may be. She teaches us that what seems impossible is possible.

So while not a traditional running episode, this episode applies to all of us, runner or not. Jenn has a background as a runner, Ironman finisher and loves the outdoors.
