The Run, Shattered Podcast

In this episode, Kevin Chiang talks through his experience training for and racing the JFK 50 Mile in 2023 and the mental skills he used to finish with less than 5 minutes to spare before the cut-off.

You'll hear about how Kevin managed his expectations, the self-talk that helped him when things didn't go to plan during training and his race, and how he consistently embraces the running community and the joy to keep running.

Dr. Kevin Chiang is a sports medicine physician, educator, researcher, and runner currently based in Dallas, Texas. His running journey began in the fall of 2021, and since then, he has participated in numerous races and completed several marathons and ultramarathons. Kevin has been a member of the Brooks Running Collective for 3 years and is also involved with SaltStick, Hüma, and BibRave.

Massive shout-out to Kevin for taking time out of his busy day to share his experience so we can shatter our next goals!
