The Podcast

In today’s podcast we dive into the ins and outs of a 5K. What is a 5K and what steps should you take when looking to run your first or your 100th 5K?

In today’s podcast we sit down with fellow runner, coach, and awesome friend Karen Porter Blankenship from A Sometime Athlete to discuss her coaching philosophy and what it’s like to make tough decisions around training and running a race.
Not everything goes right with a training plan, and sometimes you have to make the right choice for the long haul.

In today’s podcast we talk about how to run in warmer weather. As most of the Northern Hemisphere heats up and gets into the thick of summer, we runners need to adapt. Hear our tips and tricks for making running in the heat not just tolerable, but enjoyable…well, okay, at least tolerable.

Not every race is perfect, but we can get really close.

In today’s podcast we dive into Heather’s most recent race, the Bolder Boulder 10K. In her fourth running of this race, Heather shares details of what has been dubbed America’s Best 10K by Runner’s World. Set in Boulder, CO, this race has over 50,000 participants and 100,000 spectators, leading to some great stories about costumes, course support and a few hills and turns along the way.

Join us as we chat with our friend and first time marathoner, Meredith Rice of Rice Rice Runner. Meredith ran the London Marathon as her first ever 26.2. Join us as we find out how Meredith went about approaching her first marathon and what it was like running an Abbott World Major Marathon for charity.

Meredith’s first marathon was epic. She did everything all out, and she has made some huge memories. Listening to her retell her story is so inspiring and you can hear the joy in her voice. While not all went perfectly for everyone on this race day, Meredith flew away from the London Marathon overwhelmed with gratitude for her family and friends supporting her.

In part one of two, Meredith explains her process by which she selected the London Marathon, how she went about training and preparing for an International event, and how she came to the idea of the Golden Snitch! We loved hearing her story, and hope you stay tuned tomorrow for part 2!

In today’s podcast we begin by talking about the themes that were just released for the WDW Marathon Weekend races. We then dive into the Wallis Sands Half Marathon in Rye, NH, which Jen raced and attempted to set a new PR and secure that elusive proof of time (POT) for her upcoming runDisney races.

In today’s podcast we dive into proof of time. What is a proof of time (POT), what qualifies for a POT and what do you need to run in order to get a POT?

runDisney requires you to submit a proof of time if you plan to run a half marathon in 2:45 or less or a marathon in 5:30 or less. For a half marathon you can submit a 10K, 12K, 15K, 10 Miler, Half Marathon or full marathon. For a full marathon you can submit a 10 miler, half marathon or full marathon. Results must be posted online. Relays, trial runs, self-timed runs and virtual runs are not accepted.

It’s official! Welcome to the Go Find Your Awesome Podcast, the Podcast for Every Runner. In this, our first episode, my dear friend Jen and I discuss how this crazy running journey brought us right here.
