The Running Grind

We’re heading back to the northwest to chat once again with Emily Heller of Run Like Heller on YouTube! 

 For those that don’t follow her, check out her out on youtube, like and subscribe to her channel. She started her channel at the end of 2019 and a few months later, covid started along with the whole shutdown/quaratine and her channel blew up. With our first chat, she was around 8 thousand subscribers and currently, she’s just under 13 thousand. She’s known for her awesome shoe reviews but she attributes her success to 1. She’s one of the few female shoe reviewers out there and 2. she’s a regular person like you and I, not an elite, not some speedster (yet at least) she’s just a person who loves to run and push herself with the time she’s  given each day. 
And for those that do know her, you know she’s been training for the Chicago Marathon and putting in 16 weeks of work to prepare. Her training was on point but stuff out of her control were the factors on race day. Airlines and travel just didn’t start race weekend off on the right foot as didn’t the weather but we talk training, traveling, doing a livestream with fellow Youtuber, Kofuzi as well as the race itself.

We head to the Midwest and chat with super cool Illinois runner Jessica Weis. Her run journey includes a personal battle with bulimia that she was not only able to recognize but also overcome. She’s now on a mission to race in every state in the United States and a few of the Abbott Six Majors.
.
We go into detail with her battle as well as meeting a clothing company at an expo that will later be @runners_empire_ and how she’s formed solid friendships with the owner @zacsakacsi and fellow ambassadors!

We chat with founder/executive director Mary Callahan who celebrates 20 years of leading Girls on the Run Greater Houston, which is one of the oldest and largest chapters in the nation. We look back at the beginning where she started with six girls, two of which were her daughters, to hitting 2,000 girls to navigating thru Covid.

GOTR has made a huge impact in the lives of young girls and gives them the tools to be confident, caring and independent leaders of the future.

We’re staying in Houston and talking with one of my guys, my dudes, my boy @pedro_itslife about his run journey that started just a few years back. Hear how this street dancer transitioned to running and ultimately led him to being a two-time and current @chevronhoustonmarathon ambassador. 
.
One of the best guys I know, hear how he and his family lost everything in a house fire on Christmas Eve and how the running community came together to help one of our own.

We head to Tennessee to chat with founder and owner of Runners Empire, @zacsakacsi and his journey to starting the running apparel company that’s based on three principles: dedication, performance and family.
. 
We chat about his early entrepreneurship in the “flip life” world, to YouTube, to the grind of starting @runners_empire_ that included financial loss, loss of personal relationships and more downs than ups. But Zac had a vision, stuck with it and is now starting to see the fruits of his labor.
