| 6/9/26 |  301. My First Ever Marathon DNF: What Every Runner Can Learn From It | Grab your FREE Ultimate Marathon Training Guide to Master Your Marathon Feeling Strong! Last week, I did something I never thought I would do. I stepped off the course at mile 13.1 of the Buffalo Marathon and recorded my first ever DNF. After completing seven marathons, I finally had a race that didn't go according to plan. But here's the crazy part... Just six days later, I found myself standing on another marathon starting line. And by the end of that race, I crossed the finish line of marathon number eight. In this episode, I share the full story behind my first DNF, why I made the difficult decision to stop, why I chose to run another marathon less than a week later, and the biggest lessons I learned from my entire spring marathon training cycle. If you've ever had a race not go according to plan, struggled with setbacks during training, or felt like one bad race erased months of hard work, this episode is for you. You'll learn: ✅ Why knowing when to stop is not quitting ✅ Why one race does not define your fitness or your training cycle ✅ The mindset shift that helped me move forward after my first DNF ✅ What I learned about marathon fatigue, fueling, and reflux management ✅ What worked during this training cycle and what I'll be changing before Wineglass Marathon this fall ✅ Why staying healthy may be the biggest marathon win of all The biggest lesson? One race does not define you as a runner. Whether you're training for your first marathon, chasing a PR, or simply trying to stay healthy and consistent, I hope this episode reminds you that setbacks don't erase progress and that resilience is built when things don't go according to plan.

| 5/19/26 |  300. Run Happy AND Get Faster: Why You Don't Need to Suffer to PR with Carolyn Coffin | Do you feel like every run needs to be hard in order to get faster? If so… that might be exactly why you're stuck. In this episode, I'm joined by run coach Carolyn Coffin to tackle one of the biggest myths in running: That you need to suffer through every workout to see results. We break down why "party pace" is that conversational, enjoyable effort isn't just for beginners… it's actually one of the most powerful tools to help you run faster, stay consistent, and avoid burnout. If your training has been feeling more like a grind than something you enjoy, this episode will shift how you think about performance. Because the truth is… You don't need to choose between running happy and chasing a PR. 🎯 In this episode, you'll learn: - Why running harder isn't always the answer to getting faster - What "party pace" really means (and how to use it correctly) - The biggest mistake runners make with easy runs - How much of your training should actually feel easy - Where easy running stops being enough (the "ceiling" most runners miss) - How to balance performance and enjoyment in your training - Why enjoying your runs can actually improve your results - A simple shift you can make this week to train smarter For runners who want to: - Run faster without burning out - Stay consistent and avoid injury - Feel stronger and more confident in their training - Actually enjoy the process of running again 🎁 FREE RESOURCE: Marathon Training Guide Want a clear, proven roadmap to train smarter and feel strong on race day?
