"An individual medal isn't won alone." -Marie-Ange Brumelot "I have so much to share and sometimes the story feels too big to sum up in one post. Over the past few months, I faced a torn glute, a broken bone, and 11 weeks away from the sport I love. There were countless tears of sadness, but also 6 weeks of relentless running that eventually led to a team gold medal and an individual silver medal at the 100K World Championship." In this episode, we dove into how the power of our running community, unwavering hope, and little miracles along the way helped Marie get back on track—even when it seemed impossible. "Thank you to every single one of you for your endless support during this stressful journey. We did it together!" Remember: every step—no matter how small—counts. I'm hoping you all will be inspired by Marie's grind and journey back to become Vice-Champion at the 100K World Championships and help her team earn gold.

What a treat it was to welcome legendary hosts, Deena Kastor and Martin Yelling from The Marathon Talk Podcast. They recently ran NYC for fun and fully immersed themselves in the 5 Boro Block Party. They stopped for selfies, chatted up other runners, and shared their perspectives on what it was like to be back in the pack. We also discussed our favorite Abbott WMM's courses, Sydney becoming the 7th Major, and what's next with Cape Town & Shanghai in the queue. We closed the convo with Deena & Martin talking some smack about a possible showdown in Sydney—so stay tuned! I hope you all enjoy the listen, once I finally hit the record button...

Adam is a 12-year combat veteran of the Air Force with deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team leader. In 2007, while working to disarm a roadside bomb (IED) in Afghanistan, Adam was injured by a secondary IED—resulting in the amputation of his right leg above the knee. Adam is a Purple Heart recipient, Tillman Scholar, and now an eight-time Guinness World Record holder, and became the first above-knee amputee to complete a 100-mile ultramarathon within 30 hours in 2016. He has five 100-mile finishes and set an amputee record time of 16:13:43 for 100 miles in 2024. Adam also has the fastest marathon time for an above-knee amputee at 2:57 and completed a full Ironman in 11:03:06. Adam is one of the most humble, most inspiring people you will ever meet.

Kelly and I discussed what inspires us, what keeps the fire burning, the biggest challenges we've had to overcome, and how we handle race day challenges. Our goal was to provide tips and best practices for the large amount of first-time marathoners taking on Sydney and we finished off by taking some questions from the audience!

"At my best, I was trying to be competitive with myself to get the best out of what I could do." -Alan Ruben Alan Ruben is an icon in the NYC running community—a paragon of consistency and an inspiration to so many in the masters running world for his remarkable running resume. Alan has completed 35 straight NYCs, with 25 consecutive sub 3s from 1989-2014, and—the most astounding of all—15 consecutive sub 2:40s from 1991-2005! Alan ran his fastest marathon 2:29:54 at age 41 and placed 48th overall in the 1998 Boston Marathon. Alan gives a lot of credit for his success to joining Central Park Track Club in 1990, where he enjoyed grinding twice-weekly workouts with fast teammates that helped push him. In the storied 100th Boston in 1996, he ran 2:30:30 with teammates Peter Allen and Andreas Nolte and they captured the Team Masters Title. Key coaches/mentors who helped guide him: George Wisniewski & Tony Ruiz of Central Park Track Club. Alan has run 704 races—100 half marathons, 67 marathons, and about 95,000 lifetime recorded miles—but the most inspiring thing about Alan is that he is still going strong and out there every day. I'm so proud to be his teammate and I thoroughly enjoyed discussing his epic running journey!

"You just have to be so grateful for the races that go according to plan and where you do set a dream goal and achieve that dream goal. Nobody's written anybody's future—it's not scripted, so you have to make the most of the moments that you have in running. That can be true in any era, at any age, at any stage, and any talent level and accomplishment level. It's one of the great lessons of running." -Gordon Bakoulis Gordon Bakoulis is a 5-time Olympic Trials marathoner and one of the most accomplished runners I've had the pleasure of speaking with. Gordon qualified for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, & 2004 and was a finalist in the 1992 U.S. Olympic 10,000m Trials. She has represented the U.S. internationally at the 10K, half-marathon, & marathon distances, and has run a 1:11 half-marathon and a 2:33 marathon. We discussed the enormous growth in women's running, the runners who inspired her, and how much the sport has evolved. Gordon's most memorable race was the 2001 NYC Marathon, which was held less than 8 weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Gordon won the masters division in 2:41 and it was really emotional hearing her reflect on what it felt like running through her beloved, broken, yet resilient city. Gordon has also been coaching since 1985 and has worked in the media and for NYRR since 2002—which affords her a really unique perspective. I'm so grateful to Gordon for sharing so many great lessons!

In one of the most inspiring running stories of the year, Tammy Hsieh ran 2:37:00 at CIM and hit the OTQ standard on the number to qualify for the US Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando, FL on Feb 3, 2024! When Tammy turned the final corner, the finish line clock read 2:36:50 and she kicked for home with everything she had left and crossed the line at 2:37:03. There were a few uncertain moments before friends showed Tammy her chip time and someone from the CIM team draped her with the coveted OTQ banner so she could celebrate her huge accomplishment. Tammy became the 173rd woman to earn her spot in this year's race. She has been on quite a tear over the past two years—just look at her amazing progression: 2:48 - CIM 2021 2:45 - Indy 2022 2:37:44 - Ottawa 5/28/2023 2:37:00 - CIM 12/8/2023 We covered: -Coaching & her training approach with Kim Conley -Her Ottawa build vs CIM—her 1st time logging 100M weeks -Her start in NYC training with Central Park Track Club -Moving to Boston & training with the Boston Hares -Her drive/passion/fire—where it comes from -Mindset, mantras, & self-talk on the course -Her plan for Orlando -Community service There are so many great nuggets to unpack in this one and I'm stoked to keep following Tammy’s inspiring journey!

Meet Polly Moody, mom of two, full-time teacher, and 2:46 marathoner! Polly tore her ACL and meniscus two years ago when her running had been on an upward trajectory. She tackled a long, difficult rehab where she faced a number of setbacks and had serious doubts about whether she would make it back to her previous form. Polly injected more long runs on trails and shifted her focus to process versus outcome. Along the way, she found more joy and discovered the fastest, best version of her running self. Polly just turned 40 and her speedy 2:46 time earned her 9th in her age group in Chicago and a free bib through the American Development Group for 2024. I'm so stoked to follow Polly's inspiring journey!

Meet Simone Carniglia, Six-Star finisher, and Guinness World Record holder as the fastest runner with Type One diabetes—with an amazing average time of 2:42:30 per race! Simone started his running journey to lose weight and was inspired by Stefano Baldini, the great Italian marathoner who won the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Running these incredibly fast times is impressive, but for a diabetic, it is significantly more challenging. A diabetic marathoner has to continuously control blood sugar levels in order to be safe, not faint, and perform at their best. They're more subject to cramping and dehydration during physical activity, especially when glucose levels aren't managed properly. Simone has only been running for five years and is just getting started. He hopes his journey will inspire many other diabetic athletes to not give up on their dreams and never give up. Simone's story proves that with the right training, nutrition, therapy, strategy, and use of the latest technologies—such as Abbott Global and Freestyle Libre 3—diabetic runners can achieve amazing results that weren't imaginable just a few short years ago Simone is grateful for the Abbott Global profile they featured on him for World Diabetes Day and is excited to get started on a second round of World Marathon Majors. I'm rooting for Simone to keep inspiring and look forward to seeing him out there in 2024!
