Injuries are inevitable as athletes. Often, when injuries occur, one endures a grief process similar to if one loses a loved one. On today's episode, my guest Andrea Willis discusses an inspiring perspective to injury recovery. She shares her personal story with injury, how she overcame mental health challenges that occurred due to injury, and how she truly was unable to find peace until she fully surrendered to God and His love. If you are currently or have previously dealt with an injury, this episode is here to give you light, encouragement, and love. Andrea offers wisdom and guidance that can help any athlete, no matter how difficult an injury is, physically or mentally. If you are experiencing injury, know that your identity is in God, in love, and you are not alone.

Today, I have Hannah "Tallish" on the show to discuss all things mental toughness, grit, and mental health. She has a passion for doing incredible things that overpower the doubts of the mind, and she manifests that through her podcast, "Do Epic Shit Today." In addition to sharing her inspiring journey with the sport of running, we discuss in detail the concept of "mental toughness," and what it truly means to push through difficult circumstances. We also have a meaningful discussion about athlete mental health, and why so many endurance athletes have a previous history of mental health challenges. Finally, we talk about the distinction between mental toughness and mental health, and times when mental toughness may actually make mental health poorer. This is a wonderful, educational, and inspiring episode that you will not want to miss!

Hello Everyone and Welcome!

On today's episode, I have Jordan Battaglia from Play on Relief on the show to discuss the brand, the history, the science, and more. We also have a meaningful discussion about how healing is much more than alleviating physical discomfort, and how play on relief promotes deeper level healing.

Play on relief is a science-backed topical recovery tool for athletes wanting to improve recovery and for anyone experiencing pain. While I would love to get into the science here, you will have to listen to the episode to hear all about it! The science behind play on relief is one of a kind, and is superior to many other leading brands of recovery. Listen to this episode to hear more about play on, their mission, and how you can redefine and improve your healing!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode! Today's episode was highly requested and talks about all things Boston Marathon cutoff times related. We first talk through the history of the qualification times, the history of cutoff times, and what could have led to the stringent cutoff time this year. I then give you my opinion on the matter, and discuss ways to cope if you qualified and didn't make the cutoff. I emphasize how your worth and success as a runner are INDEPENDENT of the cutoff times (non-controllable), and how to move forward if you feel hopeless or stuck. Finally, I answer some of your questions and elaborate on some of your opinions. I hope this episode gives you some insight into the Boston marathon process and helps you feel less alone if you are navigating a sense of loss if you missed the cutoff time.
