In Episode 76, I sit down with Huntsville triathletes Lesley and Billy Carroll, who have lost an incredible amount of weight together and completely transformed their lives.Now they’re taking on their biggest challenges yet: their first full IRONMAN in 2027.We talk about GLP-1's, surgical weight loss, training together, big scary goals, and discovering just how much you’re capable of when you just don't stop. And fair warning, folks... this is another episode that's not meant for little ears.

Episode 2 of Shooting the Sh!t with Shelby Britt! We’re talking intense runner burnout, the Runninglane Underground 5K, AND Rocket City Marathon.And somehow, both Rocket City Marathon AND Kyle Walker from Back of the Pack Podcast get pulled into the conversation.Yeah... they’re gonna want to hear this one.
I met Shelby Britt about a year ago and quickly learned that sitting around talking with her is almost as entertaining as running with her, (if I could keep up.)So we turned on the microphones.We started recording as we were talking about the medals hanging on Shelby’s wall and go from there. Running, races, and a whole lot of laughing.This is Shooting the Sh!t with Shelby Britt: Part 1.There may be four parts. There may be twelve. We didn't plan that far ahead.Wanna rent a goat? 🐐 https://ecograzingsolutionsllc.com/
What if running can change more than your fitness? This week, I'm digging into a fascinating study that followed runners in addiction recovery and found that running offered something much bigger than exercise: structure, goals, community, connection and a different way of handling hard days. We're talking about why running can become a “microcosm of life,” the lessons that extend far beyond the finish line, and the important difference between running supporting recovery and treating addiction.
