Hal Higdon, 1964 Boston Marathon 5th Place Finisher, 2:21:55 Marathoner, & World Masters Championships M40 record holder in 1975 of 9:18.6 in the steeplechase Joins Me For A Chat On Everything You Need To Know To Prepare For The Marathon!

You might've heard about his world-renowned book:  Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide. Fun fact: It was the first book I ever bought when I picked up the sport of running. Hal joins me for a conversation where we discuss everything from his takeaways and learnings from failing to finish his first three marathons, what we learned along the way, how he has paid his knowledge and wisdom forward to generations of runners, including his son, who qualified for the OTQ marathon with a time of 2 hours 18 minutes. We discuss training strategies for the marathon distance, and how to not psych yourself out at the starting line to set yourself up for success in your training journey, in and outside of your race. I hope you enjoy the listen.

Coach Denise, The Marathon Whisperer, Joins Me For A Coaches Corner Chat On Getting You Prepared For The 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!

Today marks 14 grateful years for Coach Denise's transformation into Denise 2.0. Denise started running in 4th grade because it was the only sport she could do. She has been running ever since and has leveraged running as therapy. Shortly after running her first marathon and wanting to get faster, she was solely focused on PRs and started losing the joy of why she began to run. The accident of getting hit by a car made her reassess her goals and have an entirely new world of appreciation for movement, for running. Denise continues to influence through action and helps others run marathons and chase down crazy goals while running WITH THEM. I'm excited to share her admirable energy and wisdom on another show episode! We chat about our WHY, racing, training for Chicago, and so much more in hopes of inspiring you to chase 26.2! We're here to help you! Denise will be in the last corral in Chicago to support all of YOU first-time marathoners pursuing your first 26.2 starting and finish line. You won't miss her donut shorts, and if you need a running companion, you've got your girl there!

Ranulf Green, Runwithalli® Coached Athlete, 1:26 Half Marathon Runner, 17:34 5K Runner, Husband, and Father Joins Me For A Chat On How To Train To Run Smarter & Faster!

Ranulf was a 400-meter athlete in track & field, took a hiatus from running to do all of the husband, life, and dad duties, and returned to the sport! Since then, he's seen some significant feats with me, including: running a 5:11 mile indoors last winter and a 5:04 mile at the 5th Ave Mile last September. Not long after the winter mile, Ranulf ran a 6:50 pace for a 10K (42:27 in June 2022). He was a 1:42 half marathoner (7:49 PACE) at the UA half in March 2022 to a transformed 1:26 half marathoner (6:38 PACE) at the Newport Liberty half on 9/24/22. He is currently on a break from training due to taking some time to mentally and physically return from a minor setback and regroup before tackling the marathon distance and chasing a sub-3-hour marathon!

In this episode, we chat about:

1. What in Ranulf's training has been the ONE thing that contributed to his success in his races so far
2. What he did in hid training to improve his 5K fitness
3. Any setbacks while training that came about, and how Ranulf combated them and dealt with them
4. What he enjoys when he's not running 

 AND MORE! Tune in to find out and listen to the entire episode.

Shikha Kaiwar, Author of Ice Cream Party, A Dear Friend Of Mine, & Runwithalli® Coached Athlete, Chats About Her Journey Going From An Injured Runner to Soon To Be Paris Marathon Finisher In 4 Months! Shikha had to, unfortunately, deal with confronting a quad injury which put her into tears. When I received her phone call on that day four months ago, I stopped everything I was doing. Her running means as much to me as it does to her, and I was sure that we'd do everything we could together to get her to toe her starting line of the Paris Marathon starting line pain-free! Her race is this Sunday, people! And yes, it's the PARIS FREAKIN' MARATHON! Bib #: 43893 if you want to cheer for her on the app!

In today's episode, Shikha and I discuss her approach to training and her journey throughout the past four months getting back to her energetic, usual self, refinding her love for the sport with my guidance, and her grit. I can't wait to cheer her on virtually this Sunday and see her tackle more starting lines in the future! She's going to crush it! 

I enjoyed this chat with Shikha, and if you want to get in touch with her, connect with her via the link below. She also loves sweets as much as I do, so much so that she took her talents to her newly published book "Ice Cream Party," which you can grab a copy of on Amazon! It's so good.
