Runners Without Limits

What does it take to run a marathon on every continent? Melissa Corley Carter joins the podcast to talk about her running journey around the world. She documents her story in her book, Running the World: Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents, a beautiful photographic essay that tells us that running is a journey.

About Us

Heather and Jen are a coach/athlete duo that talk about all things running during a weekly podcast. Heather has been an athlete for most of her life. She took her love of swimming and entered the triathlon world, eventually crushing Ironman. She eventually married her love of running and all things Disney and tackled a number of runDisney runs. This is where she met Jen. Jen began running during her weight loss journey half a dozen years ago. She previously only ran from base to base as a varsity softball player and loathed running. But thanks to her friends and a supportive network, she ran her first 5K. Heather and Jen met as Jen was training for her first half marathon and eventually her first full marathon thanks to Heather’s encouragement. The two are now dear friends and share a coach/athlete relationship. This friendship and love for running comes through on their podcast.

One of the best things about races coming back are the opportunities to raise awareness for charitable causes. In this episode, Ashlyn Silhavy, Social Media and Race Coordinator for the Kellsie’s Hope Foundation shares how runners do just that.
