| 6/25/26 | ![]() "Your Story, Your Why' - Lauren Waldron - Episode 3 | In our latest Your Story, Your Why feature, D.C.-based runner Lauren Waldron shares how the sport became an unshakeable contract with herself while navigating high-stress public sector roles and tumultuous personal transitions. From buying her first pair of Hoka Gaviotas to setting fierce personal guardrails—culminating in telling an unsupportive partner, "You don't deserve to be at my start line," right before her first marathon—Lauren's journey highlights the profound intersection of running, boundary-setting, and community. After overcoming patellar tendinitis and pushing through a chaotic race morning at her first World Major in Sydney, she dialed in her training with coach Andrew Lomancello to slice a massive 20 minutes off her time at the New York City Marathon just two months later. Today, whether logging early miles or analyzing footwear technology like the Mizuno Neo Vista 2, Lauren views every 4:00 AM alarm as a joint mission with her dog Henry to unapologetically chase greatness.Connect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607 | — | ||||||
| 6/22/26 | ![]() 319. Racing with Wheels - Swiss Silver Bullet Marcel Hug | As marathon runners, we think we understand endurance, pacing, and the tech that drives our sport. But what happens when you take the legs out of the equation and replace them with Formula 1 engineering, 3D-printed hard gloves, and highway-speed descents?In this episode, I sit down with an absolute titan of endurance sports: Marcel Hug, the "Swiss Silver Bullet." He is a 12-time Paralympic Gold Medalist and the most dominant athlete across the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Marcel just matched a historic milestone by winning his eighth London Marathon, and I wanted to bridge the gap between our running community and his world.We skip the fluff and go straight into the sports science. Marcel breaks down why he can race 8 to 9 marathons a year when we can barely survive two, how he navigates extreme downhills at 80 km/h (50 mph) without a steering wheel, and how his custom-molded carbon chassis ensures zero energy loss. If you love high-performance gear, brutal physiology, and the elite mindset, this conversation will completely change how you view marathon speed.The "Silver Bullet" Trademark: How a simple Christmas gift from his junior coach became a global symbol of dominance.The 9-Marathon Season: Why the smooth, cyclical physics of a push-rim chair allow wheelchair athletes to race nearly ten marathons a year with minimal joint impact.Technical Analysis (Chassis vs. Shoes): While we look for energy return in foam, Marcel looks for zero energy loss in his rigid, custom-molded carbon fiber seat.Punching at 20 MPH: The material science behind 3D-printed hard gloves and how athletes "hit" the push-rim rather than grabbing it.The Wind Tunnel Discovery: Why F1 aerodynamics forced a shift from solid disc wheels back to open-spoke wheels.The Strict Mindset of a Champion: A rare look at Marcel's internal dialogue when pushing the absolute limit entirely alone at the front of a Major.My Favorite Moment: "In a daily wheelchair, you grab the wheels with your fingers. With racing gloves, you punch the rim. Every single ounce of energy from your upper body has to go directly into forward movement." — Marcel HugConnect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Connect with Us: | — | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() "Your Story, Your Why" - Ashley Paulson, Matt Paulson - Episode 2 | In this incredibly inspiring episode, we sit down with two-time world record holder and iFIT coach Ashley Paulson to talk about breaking boundaries, defying age limits, and crushing self-limiting beliefs. We dive deep into her remarkable journey from building her endurance as a young mom teaching fitness classes to earning a professional triathlon card in her 30s after her fourth child. Ashley takes us behind the scenes of her magical and emotional world record feat—running 100 miles on a treadmill at the Boston Marathon Expo—and explains why she thrives off feeding from the crowd's energy. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just looking to move your body, her reminder that "you built yourself this way" will inspire us all to shed our egos, stop placing limits on our capacity, and find out what our bodies are truly capable of achieving. Tune in now to get your weekly dose of sparkles and unstoppable energy!

Plus,we discuss why running serves as such a powerful tool for neuroplasticity andcreativity, and why it can sometimes be the perfect companion to professionaltherapy.Whether you are navigating pre-race anxiety, looking for strategies to"chunk" your next marathon, or trying to beat the post-race blues,this conversation is packed with actionable insights for your mind and body.Connect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastConnect with Us:Follow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607 | — | ||||||

Keira D'amato: Training, Fatigue Stimulation, and Longevity | Most runners know Keira D’Amato as the realtor-turned American record holder who is as famous for her humor as she is for her speed, but in our latest sit-down, we deliberately skipped the origin story to focus on the mechanics of how sheoperates today. Shifting her training to Utah under coach Ed Eyestone, D’Amato has replaced the traditional high-volume grind with a masterclass in efficiency, utilizing "fatigue simulation" to mimic the final miles of a marathon without the physical toll of excessive race-pace mileage. Fromrebuilding her 5K speed to create aerobic headroom to implementing a strict 6-day training week, her current blueprint is a professional look at how elite performance is evolving toward longevity and structural durability.Connect with Us:· Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.com· Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcast· YouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournal· Follow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607 | — | ||||||
