The Running Grind

Great sit down with elite runner and two time OTQ-er, Ryan Miller. He had an awesome and inspiring story about finding his love for running, dedicating himself, and following his dream to do track and field/cross-country at the Division 1 college level. We talk about OTQ-ing in 2016 and 2020 with the former cut short due to an unexpected medical emergency but was able to find redemption in 2020. 

He is a part of the rabbitPRO team for the Rabbit apparel company as well as a Nuun Hydration athlete. He also serves as a brand ambassador for Klean Athlete and Squirrel's Nut Butter.

3 marathons in five months to qualify for her first Boston Marathon back in 2016. That alone will tell you the type of runner Karin Atkinson is. She was one of the first runners I reached out to as a guest for the show and four months later, we finally made it happen. We talk her introduction to long distance running while living in Malaysia, to Boston, to her ultra marathons of 50 miles and then 100-miles back in February of this year. After countless podiums, amazing races to her resume, she also provides one-on-one run coaching through her Run Peak Endurance brand. 

PRs:
5k: 19:56
13.1: 1:32:00
26.2: 3:16:00
50 mile: 8:15:00
100 mile: 29:15:00

We are in the era of social distancing and I used the opportunity to try out interviews over different platforms. 

After a tiny hiatus getting accustomed to the  quarantine/stay-at-home orders, The Running Grind is back with another string of episodes starting with our West Virginia runners, Shawn and Autumn. Still relatively new to the running scene, they quickly developed a passion for it and the running community that comes with it. I really enjoyed talking with this couple as we break down their introduction to running, a few of their races, and their love for the running community.
