Cal “The Renaissance Runner” Neff (@calneff) joined me in the show to talk about his partnership with @altrarunning, ultra marathons, trail running, road racing, coaching, family, being a multiple record holder and much more.

Had a lot of fun chatting with Keira D’Amato @keiradamato !!

.

She had an amazing year of running in 2020 and 2021 is looking fairly bright as well! We talked about the big performances she had last year, the American 10 Mile Women’s Record, the @marathonproj and plans for Austin coming up.

.

If you follow her...you know I had to talk about Orea Madness, family fun, real estate and balancing life with running.

.

Please enjoy this episode and be sure to follow @chiptimerunning and @keiradamato

Allie Kieffer @kiefferallie graced us with her presence to talk about her life as a runner, coaching, her goals for the future in running and ways she plans to help runners and her message to runners about being #strongnoskinny aka aim to be the healthiest version of yourself, not work to fit in or match someone’s expection of what you should look like.

.

We obviously had to talk about her experiences at the 2017 and 2018 @nycmarathon !! That 2017 race was something special for sure!

.

Make sure to follow @kiefferallie , check out her new show (podcast) and follow along as she prepares for future races and crushing her goals! SOUND DIFFICULTIES CLEAR UP AFTER ABOUT 8-10 MINS. CHECK OUT VIDEO ON CHIP TIME RUNNING INSTAGRAM PAGE.

Hakim Tafari ( @hakstao ) is a different type of cat...so this was a different type of show and conversation than I/we have become accustomed to.

.

Hakim and I discussed his journey in life that lead to the human he is today, the power of meditation, how to begin our runs and each day with intention and mindfulness, the black runner’s experience and honestly so much more.

.

I ended this conversation feeling so full and edified. We talked about running but in a deeper sense. How we can use running as a tool to strengthen our mind and our hearts, not just our bodies.

Parker Stinson @_parker_stinson_ sat down for a few to talk to me about his origin story, his partnership with @saucony, the ups and downs of running, his injury and the road to recovery.

.

Parker has a ton of accomplishments, but honestly I think the most impressive one is yet to come. Comeback stories are ALWAYS the best from the big screen to the big city marathons!!

Had such a cool conversation with JJ Santana @_jj_santana about his seemingly quick progression to running in the Olympic Trials and pacing @sarahall3 in the @marathonproj . BUT like most great stories there is definitely a back story and more hard work than it seems.

.

We talked about running his first races, winning in basketball shorts and tshirts, trail races, training with @coach___hudson, the amazing experience of running in The Olympic Trials @atlantatrackclub Marathon in ATL, creating better habits and a lot more!

.

Follow @_jj_santana and stay tuned for his next half marathon on 1/23/21...HINT - it will be fast so dont blink!

.

Follow @chiptimerunning for all of the episodes or LISTEN on any and all podcast platforms.

Spoke with Martin Hehir @marty10khehir ...not to be confused with the priest but still a really good guy!

.

We talked about @reebokboston_tc , the Olympic Trials experience, the @marathonproj win 🥇, ice cream and MOST IMPORTANTLY...FAMILY.

Had a chance to catch up with Nathan Martin to talk about his start in running, moving into the marathon distance, the @marathonproj , and now being the fastest black American born marathoner with his new PR of 2:11:05.

.

Be sure to go follow @nim_i_am and watch the rest of this story unfold!

Had a chance to chat with Emily Heller aka @runlikeheller about her YouTube channel Run Like Heller, shoe reviews, her list of must haves in a shoe rotation, upcoming races, plans for the YouTube channel and more.

DOPE! Simply dope!

.

Had a cool conversation with Knox Robinson @firstrun

.

We talked about the evolution of running culture, black representation, founding a run group before it was cool, the “Century Club” and much more.
