Maybe Running Will Help?

I found today’s guest through his books Quick Strength for Runners and Smart Marathon training but his first book was published in 2008 called “My first 100 Marathons: 2,260 Miles with an Obsessive Runner. And his latest book is called Ageless Strength: Strong and fit for a lifetime. It’s no wonder with all this material under his name, Jeff Horowitz and I had a lot to cover and we get to all of it having a lot of laughs along the way. Over the next hour, we’ll cover training, coaching, and our lifelong friendship with running. This is an episode worth hearing, sharing, and commenting on so we’re excited to have you join the conversation!

There's a saying "Sobriety isn't for those who need it. It's not for people who want it. It's for people who do it." Today, you’re going to hear an incredible running story. After two years of sobriety from heroin and meth, our guest rediscovered his love for running and 5 years later (this past December) he qualified for the Olympic Marathon Team Trials.  Mitch Ammons was a bad drug addict and today we’re going to discuss how he found redemption through our sport.  We kick off the episode discussing pre-race nerves and training before exploring his past and why he strives to give hope to anyone struggling to see to the other side of addiction.

Today we’re talking about diversity in our sport with Philly Race Director, Running USA Board Member, and owner of All Fitness Events, Kathleen Titus. Kathleen and I met last May at the Buffalo Marathon and remained in touch bonding over a passion for running and how to make a difference in the community. I invited her on the show as a friend and someone I admire and respect, but I had no idea we’d dive into this topic of inclusion in our sport and how leaders like her are working to ensure everyone feels represented at our races. As the city that loves you back, it’s no wonder Kathleen was chosen as race director for the Philly marathon.  She is all about returning the love she feels for this sport and our athletes. I can’t wait to share her with you! Please not that we will be covering the topic of transgender athletes in sport and there have been a few developments to this rapidly evolving topic since we recorded…including the World Athletics ban on transgender women from competing in female world ranking events  that goes into effect today March, 31st. Today, March 31st, is also International Transgender Day of Visibility. And while there is still much to learn when it comes to understanding the conflicting needs and rights between different groups, I believe everyone deserves to feel like they belong in our community and am honored to be connected with people like Kathleen who are dedicated to being a voice that inspires change for the benefit of those who need to be seen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mayberunningwillhelp/message

At 13, Cole Cosgrove is the youngest guest we’ve ever had on the show. His coach, Sam Lomax, raves on social media that he is the next super star. Cole consistently places first in his age group but what got my attention was his presence among the running community. The mutual respect between him and the other athletes. The respect reserved for those of us who always take our next best step. The respect shared between runners of every age. He is proof that sport is the true equalizer and racing is where we meet on common ground. On this episode we talk to him and his parents, Matthew and Kara Cosgrove, about running and learn what drives Cole's passion for excellence at such a young age.
