Runnah: Running Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Beyond!

In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with local trail runner Jenny Houlahan to talk about what it looks like to build a truly family-centered life around running, community, and the trails.Jenny is part of Trail Animals Running Club (TARC), and one of the coolest things about her approach to trail running is that she doesn’t do it alone. We talk about racing and adventuring with her husband, three kids, and even their two dogs—and how running has become something that connects their whole family instead of pulling them apart.This conversation is all about:Raising kids around trail and ultra cultureMaking running feel fun and inclusive for familiesThe realities of balancing training, parenting, and lifeWhy community matters so much in trail runningCreating positive outdoor experiences for kidsHow trail running can become part of family identity and connectionJenny brings such a grounded and encouraging perspective to the sport, and this episode is a great reminder that trail running doesn’t have to look one specific way to be meaningful.Whether you’re a parent runner, a trail runner trying to balance life and miles, or someone who just loves hearing stories about good people building community through running, this one is for you.Because sometimes the aid station snacks are family-sized.Find Jenny here: https://www.instagram.com/houlahan_adventures/📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: [email protected]: @runnahpod

In this episode of Runnah, we’re heading to Dublin for a conversation all about how to run safely while traveling—without looking completely lost while trying to figure out metric pace conversions and cobblestone sidewalks at the same time.While traveling in Dublin, I started thinking about how different running can feel when you’re in a new city: unfamiliar streets, different traffic patterns, early morning solo runs, figuring out where to safely carry your phone and gear, and trying not to accidentally end up 10 miles away because “I’ll just go a little farther” sounded like a good idea at the time.In this episode, I share practical tips for:Staying safe while running in a new cityPlanning routes before you head outRunning solo while travelingWhat gear I actually bring with meHow to stay aware without being anxiousWhy running while traveling can actually become one of the best ways to experience a placeWhether you’re training while on vacation, traveling for a marathon, or just squeezing in miles between sightseeing and snacks, this episode is for the runners who pack shoes before they pack anything else.Because let’s be honest: some people collect magnets when they travel. Runners collect Strava maps.📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: [email protected]: @runnahpod

In this episode of Runnah, I’m joined by Andrew—the guy I met in Tokyo running the **Tokyo Marathon… in bright yellow Crocs.Yes, you read that right. Andrew runs his marathons in Crocs—and not just any marathons. He’s a multiple-time World Marathon Majors finisher, an OR nurse, a Maine local, and someone who shows up fully and unapologetically as himself every single time he steps on the start line.This conversation is about so much more than footwear. It’s about joy, authenticity, and what it really means to love running—not for the times, but for the experience, the people, and the stories along the way.We get into:Running marathons in Crocs (and why it works for him)His experience at the Tokyo Marathon and other World Marathon MajorsBalancing life as an OR RN with endurance trainingWhat it means to show up authentically in the running spaceWhy loving the sport matters more than anything elseAndrew is the kind of runner who reminds you that there’s no one “right” way to do this—just your way.

In this episode of Runnah, I’m sharing my thoughts on the Altra Mont Blanc Speed after putting about 30 miles on them out on the trails.Short version: I keep reaching for this shoe.Altra sent me this pair to test for my training, and I’ve been taking that seriously—getting them out on real runs, different terrain, and paying attention to how they actually feel over time.What stands out to me is the combination of lightweight cushioning, a secure midfoot feel, and that wide toe box that lets my foot do what it needs to do—especially on longer efforts. It feels responsive without being harsh, and stable without feeling overbuilt.In this episode, I talk through:How the shoe has felt over my first ~30 milesFit and lockdown (and where it works well)Cushion and responsiveness on trailWhat kind of runner I think this shoe is best forWhy it’s been working so well for me in trainingThis isn’t a first impression—it’s how the shoe is actually showing up once the miles start to add up.📩 Connect with Runnah:Email: [email protected]: @runnahpod

Add in the secure midfoot lockdown and that classic Topo wide toe box, and you get a shoe that feels both fast and natural at the same time.In this episode, I get into:My honest thoughts after buying these secondhandHow the foam actually feels on the run (not just on paper)Why the midfoot lockdown really worksThe magic of a wide toe box for comfort + performanceWho this shoe is (and isn’t) forIf you’re looking for a lightweight, high-cushion trainer that still feels nimble, this might be one to consider.📩 Connect with Runnah:Email: [email protected]: @runnahpod

I really wanted to love this shoe… but this one is a no for me.In this episode of Runnah, I’m sharing my honest experience testing out the HOKA Skyward X—and why it just did not work for my body.After getting back into running, I took these out with high hopes. But pretty quickly, something felt off—and not in a small way.

And this one? Not for me.If you’ve ever tried a highly cushioned shoe and felt disconnected from the ground—or had weird aches pop up—this episode will probably hit home.🔗 Check out the HOKA Skyward X:https://www.hoka.com/en/us/mens-everyday-running-shoes/skyward-x/1147911.html🛍 Shop my Poshmark (where this pair might end up 👀):https://poshmark.com/closet/jcoughlin1955📬 Contact RunnahEmail: [email protected]: @runnahpod

While I’ve been sidelined with an injury, I’ve still been dreaming about running… and of course, running shoes. 👟So I did what any runner would do—I went shoe hunting on Poshmark and managed to score five pairs of running shoes for $99 total. That’s $19.80 per pair, which honestly might be my greatest running deal ever.In this episode of Runnah, I’m sharing the shoes I’m most excited to try when I’m finally back out on the roads and trails in 2026. We’re talking about some fun, interesting, and very different models, including:• Saucony Ride 17• HOKA Skyward X• Topo Atmos 1• ASICS Noosa Tri 16• New Balance 860 v14From max cushion to stability to just plain funky design, I’m breaking down why each one caught my eye, what I’m curious about, and how they might fit into my running rotation once I’m healthy again.If you love running shoe talk, good deals, and a little runner optimism while stuck on the sidelines, this episode is for you.Because even when you can’t run… you can still plan the comeback.🎙 About RunnahRunnah is a podcast celebrating the running community, race culture, and the stories that make runners runners.

So… you can’t run. But you also can’t just sit there.In this episode of Runnah, I’m talking about cross training while healing from my foot fracture — what’s actually helping, what sounded like a good idea but absolutely was not, and how I’m trying to stay fit without completely losing my mind.Because here’s the thing: cross training during injury recovery is not glamorous. It’s humbling. It’s trial and error. It’s texting your PT “is this normal?” more than you’d like to admit.I share:The cardio that feels safe (for me) right nowThe stuff that flared things upWhat I thought would work but didn’tHow I’m protecting my aerobic fitnessThe mental side of not running the way I want toAnd why “just swim” is not always the simple solution people think it isIf you’re coming back from a foot fracture, stress fracture, or any running injury and trying to figure out how to cross train without messing up your progress — this is the real-time version. Not the textbook version.I’m still in it. Still learning. Still adjusting.And if you’re in that weird in-between space of healing but not healed, trying to stay strong while being careful — you are absolutely not alone.We’ll get through it. Probably with more elliptical than we’d prefer.📧 [email protected]

What if the limits we believe about age… just aren’t real?In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Mary — an over-60-year-old ultramarathon runner who continues to show up, lace up, and do big, bold things long after most people think they’re supposed to slow down.Mary isn’t chasing podiums. She’s chasing possibility.We talk about:How she got into ultrarunning later in lifeWhat training looks like at over 60How she handles recovery and setbacksThe mindset that keeps her moving forwardWhat she wants younger runners to understand about longevityThis conversation isn’t about pretending age doesn’t exist. It’s about redefining what it means. Strength doesn’t expire. Grit doesn’t age out. And big goals aren’t reserved for the young.Whether you’re 29, 49, or 79 — this episode will challenge the story you’re telling yourself about what’s possible.If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe it’s too late,” Mary is living proof that it isn’t.📧 Contact Runnah: [email protected]📍 Recorded at the Falmouth Running Club officeSubscribe for more conversations about running, resilience, and the people who make this sport extraordinary.

If you’re recovering from a foot fracture, stress fracture, or running injury and wondering why the last part of healing feels the hardest — this episode is for you.In this episode of Runnah, I’m talking about the messy middle and that final 20% of recovery that nobody prepares you for. You’re cleared to run… but it still hurts. You’re “better”… but not back. You’re grateful… and also completely frustrated.Healing from a foot fracture isn’t just physical — it’s mental. And that last stretch? It can feel slow, annoying, discouraging, and honestly kind of debilitating in a way that’s hard to explain to people who haven’t been there.I share:What the final stage of foot fracture recovery actually feels likeWhy the last 20% of healing takes so longThe mental side of returning to running after injuryHow I’m pacing my comeback milesWhy this phase can feel lonelier than the beginningIf you’re coming back from a stress fracture, bone injury, or long running layoff, and you’re stuck in that gray zone between injured and healed — you are not behind, you are not weak, and you are definitely not alone.Recovery is not linear. Returning to running after a foot fracture takes patience, humility, and more emotional energy than most people realize.This episode is real, honest, and for anyone in the middle of it.Subscribe to Runnah for conversations about running injuries, comeback miles, stability shoes, recovery, and the identity shifts that come with [email protected]: @RunnahPod

This week we have a bonus episode of Runnah here for one simple reason: to have fun.I recently hopped on the TV Trivia Podcast as a guest and answered trivia questions all about A Bug’s Life — yes, the Pixar classic, yes, tiny ants, big feelings, and absolutely zero running talk. It was silly, nostalgic, low-stakes joy, and honestly a really welcome break during a heavier season.This episode isn’t about training, injury, or perseverance. It’s about letting your brain rest, laughing a little, and remembering that it’s okay to enjoy something light even when things feel hard.If you’ve been craving something easy, playful, and pleasantly distracting, this bonus episode is for you.🎧 Listen to the TV Trivia Podcast here:https://open.spotify.com/show/4HQq1DMPEsSQJYvqLrnEtuThanks for being here, thanks for riding the highs and lows with me, and thanks for letting Runnah hold space for both the serious stuff and the joyful nonsense.

In this episode of Runnah, I’m really excited to sit down with Lindsay Housman, the founder and CEO of Hettas — a Canadian performance footwear brand based in Vancouver that’s on a mission to redefine how athletic shoes are made for women.Lindsay started Hettas in 2023 from her own experience with foot pain and frustration. She kept running into the same problem many of us know too well: footwear that should work but doesn’t — not because of lack of effort or willpower, but because it was never designed with women’s anatomy and real movement in mind. What followed was deep research, intentional design, and a brand built around evidence, experience, and honest insight.We talk about:Why women’s foot anatomy deserves its own performance researchHow Hettas shoes are engineered differentlyLindsay’s personal running and pain-to-purpose journeyWhat it means to create gear that respects variation, comfort, and performanceHow community feedback and science are shaping the future of footwearThis conversation isn’t just about shoes — it’s about seeing a gap and deciding that enough is enough. If you’ve ever felt like your gear wasn’t made for you, or you’ve dealt with foot pain that doesn’t seem to match your effort, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.Learn more about Hettas:https://hettas.com/As always, Runnah is about real runners, real bodies, and the people and tools that help us stay in the sport we love — on our own terms.📧 Contact the show: [email protected]

I’m sharing an honest review of the Cadense Havena Women’s Adaptive Slipper, but more importantly, I’m sharing why a shoe like this matters to me right now — in the middle of a new dystonia diagnosis, ongoing foot injuries, and a season where my body is asking for way more care than I’m used to giving it.Dystonia has changed how my feet move, how my muscles fire, and how unpredictable my body can feel from day to day. Some days are okay. Some days are frustrating. And on all of them, what I put on my feet matters — not just for comfort, but for stability, safety, and nervous system calm.This isn’t a “best shoe ever” hype video. It’s a real conversation about:Navigating recovery when your nervous system is involvedWhy adaptive footwear matters for people with neurological and chronic conditionsHow I’m using the Havena off-run while my body figures itself outWhat support actually feels like when your feet don’t always cooperateLetting go of the idea that every shoe has to be about milesRight now, running looks different for me. Healing looks slower. And adaptation isn’t optional — it’s the work. This shoe has become part of how I move through my days with a little more ease and a little less fight.If you’re dealing with dystonia, EDS, injury, chronic pain, or a body that won’t follow the plan you wrote in your head — I hope this helps you feel a little less alone.My affiliate link (supports Runnah at no extra cost to you):https://tr.ee/CCSoIwOeYTThank you for being here, especially if you’re learning how to live in a body that’s changing.

In this video, I share my recent dystonia diagnosis. I talk about what dystonia has been like for me so far — how it’s showing up in my body, how it’s intersecting with my running, my injury recovery, and my day-to-day life, and how I’m learning to make sense of something that still feels unfamiliar and evolving.This isn’t a polished or clinical explanation. It’s lived experience. It’s me naming what I’m noticing, what I’m struggling with, and what I’m holding onto as I learn how to move forward with more information than I had before.I’m sharing this not because I have answers, but because I know how powerful it can be to feel seen — especially when your body is doing things you didn’t choose and can’t fully control. If this resonates with you, if you’re navigating neurological stuff, chronic illness, injury, or uncertainty, I hope this reminds you that you’re not alone in it.Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. And thank you for holding space for stories that don’t always fit neatly into before-and-after narratives.If Runnah has ever made you feel less alone, that means everything to me.📧 Contact the show: [email protected]📺 More episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@runnahpodcastYou’re still you.

This week on Runnah, it’s just me — no guest — because sometimes the hardest conversations are the ones we have with ourselves.I’m about 5–6 weeks out from my initial injury, still not running, and deep in that familiar (and frustrating) phase of recovery: hurry up and wait. The physical healing is one thing — but the mental side of injury? That’s a whole different race.In this episode, I talk honestly about what it’s been like to sit with the uncertainty, the impatience, the grief, and the identity shifts that come with being sidelined. I share what’s actually been getting me through these weeks: routine, community, therapy, perspective shifts, letting myself feel it all, and learning how to stay connected to running even when I’m not doing the thing itself.This is an episode for anyone who’s injured, burnt out, benched, or feeling behind — especially if you’re trying to stay hopeful while everything feels paused. You’re not broken. You’re healing. And you’re not alone in this weird in-between.Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening. Email: [email protected]

This week on Runnah, I’m sitting down with Melissa Lonergan — a recovery coach, a deeply positive force in the Falmouth running community, and someone who is truly committed to creating good, right now.Melissa shares her running journey and how movement has become a place where she gets to be fully herself — not just as a runner, but as a person in recovery. We talk about sobriety, showing up honestly, and what it means to help create a safe, supportive, and protective space within a community that doesn’t always talk openly about these things.This conversation is about more than miles or races. It’s about using running as a grounding tool, a connector, and a way to move through life with intention. Melissa also opens up about her goals with running, how recovery has shaped them, and why community care matters just as much as personal progress.If you’ve ever felt like running gave you a place to breathe, belong, or start over — this one’s for you.Connect with Melissa / Create Good:📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cre8gd/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cre8gd/?hl=enRunnah is all about real stories, real people, and the many ways movement shows up in our lives.📧 Contact the show: [email protected]📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@runnahpodcast

Shoe Eating Monster is back… but she’s grounded.This episode is all about the shoes that have been part of my rotation while I recover from bilateral toe fractures — aka the era where I’m not running, I’m healing, coping, and emotionally attaching myself to footwear.If you’ve ever gone from “what’s my workout today?” to “what shoe won’t make this worse?” — this one’s for you.I’m talking through the shoes that have gotten me through walking, standing, PT, mental spirals, and the slow process of trusting my feet again. This isn’t a hype review or a race shoe episode — it’s very much a what actually worked for me while injured conversation.Shoes currently being eaten by the monster:Saucony Hurricane 24 – supportive, stable, and quietly keeping me uprightSaucony Hurricane 25 – everything I liked about the 24, but betterBrooks Glycerin GTS 22 – soft, dependable, and emotionally groundingAltra Olympus 4 – wide toe box heaven when your feet are mad at youCrocs Slides (Little Mermaid edition) – no notes, zero shame, pure joyWe talk injury brain, shoe rotation as a coping mechanism, and how sometimes the goal isn’t running — it’s just feeling okay in your body again.If you’re injured, sidelined, or deep in a healing season, I hope this makes you feel a little less alone.📧 Runnah contact: [email protected]📺 Watch + subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@runnahpodcast

This episode of Runnah is one of those conversations that just feels good to be part of.I’m sitting down with Jenna Regan — local waxer, part of the recovery community, and an absolute force — who casually ran her first-ever marathon this year at the New York City Marathon. First marathon. NYC. No big deal (except it is a HUGE deal).Jenna shares what it was really like stepping into that moment, the nerves, the pride, the overwhelm, and the joy of doing something she never thought she’d do. We talk about recovery, community, believing you belong in running spaces, and how powerful it is to say yes to something scary. And I mean this lovingly — her thick Boston accent alone deserves its own medal.This episode is funny, grounding, and honest in the way I love most. It’s about showing up as yourself, letting community carry you when you need it, and realizing that you don’t have to look a certain way or have a certain story to call yourself a runner.If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’m not built for this,” or “That feels too big for me,” Jenna’s story might change your mind.Because you are allowed to surprise yourself.Find Jenna:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/waxedbyjenna/Find Runnah:📧 [email protected]📺 https://www.youtube.com/@runnahpodcast📱 Instagram: @runnahpodThanks for being here, for listening, and for being part of this community.

In this video, I’m sharing how I’m actually recovering from my foot fracture — not just physically, but mentally too. Running has always been a huge part of who I am, so being sidelined has forced me to build a different kind of routine and learn how to stay connected to myself and my community when I can’t do the thing I love most.I talk about:What my daily routine looks like right nowThe bike contraption that’s keeping me saneLeaning hard on community and friendsShoe rotation (yes, even when I’m not running 😅)Physical therapy + rehab workTherapy-therapy (the mental kind)And all the little things that are helping me cope, adapt, and keep moving forwardThis isn’t a highlight reel. It’s honest, messy, and still hopeful. If you’re injured, frustrated, grieving a season of running, or just trying to stay mentally afloat — you’re not alone. This video is for you (and honestly, it’s for me too).Thanks for being here, for watching, and for being part of this community.💛 — JuliannaEmail: [email protected]: @RunnahPod

This week on Runnah, we’re doing something a little different — a solo episode because we don’t have a guest this week, and honestly… this felt like the episode that needed to happen.This is a pep talk for injured runners. And if I’m being real, it’s a pep talk I’m giving mostly to myself — but I know I’m not the only one sitting in this space.Injury can mess with your confidence, your identity, your routine, and your nervous system. It can make you feel disconnected, impatient, frustrated, and weirdly alone — especially when running is how you process life. In this episode, I talk openly about what it feels like to be sidelined and how I’m trying to show up anyway.If you’re hurt, rehabbing, waiting on answers, or just struggling to trust your body right now, this episode is me sitting next to you and reminding both of us: you are not broken, you are not behind, and this is not the end of your story.We’ll be back with a guest episode next week.

In this episode of Runnah, I’m sharing a very real update on my health and running — and honestly, just my life right now.I talk openly about my lived experience with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), what it’s been like navigating ongoing medical challenges, and what’s currently going on with my feet, including infection management and bilateral foot fractures. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a check-in from the middle of it.Running has always been part of how I process the world, and when that’s taken away — even temporarily — it forces you to sit with a lot. Grief, frustration, fear, resilience, and adaptation all show up. I wanted to share this episode not because I have everything figured out, but because I know how isolating chronic illness can feel, especially when your body keeps changing the rules.If you’re dealing with chronic illness, injury, disability, or just feeling disconnected from movement or community right now, I hope this episode helps you feel a little more seen, a little more heard, and a little less alone.You are not broken. Your experience is real.

In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Tom Meagher, a name deeply woven into the fabric of elite and high-caliber running for decades.Tom has spent years directing and supporting top-level track and road events, working behind the scenes to make some of the sport’s most iconic races happen. If you’ve ever watched or run the Boston Marathon, there’s a good chance you’ve seen Tom—he’s a familiar and steady presence at the Boston Marathon finish line every single year.We talk about his long history in race directing, what it takes to put on events at the highest level, how the sport has evolved over time, and why the details matter so much—especially when athletes are giving everything they have. Tom shares insights from decades in the sport, stories from the finish line, and what keeps him passionate about running after all these years.This conversation is a reminder that while runners get the spotlight, there are incredible people behind the scenes who shape the experience, protect the integrity of the sport, and make the magic happen.Whether you love the logistics of racing, the history of the sport, or just want a deeper appreciation for what goes into elite events, this one’s for you.Instagram: @runnahpodEmail: [email protected]

My word for 2026 is FLOW.Flow means being like water in a river—moving forward no matter what shows up. Sometimes the river is calm. Sometimes it’s rocky, unpredictable, or forces a sharp turn. But water doesn’t quit. It adapts. It finds a way through.That’s how I’m entering this year.I’m running 2026 the way I should have run the Stone Cat 50 miler:• start slow• take the aid• listen closely• adapt early• finish strongThis year includes finishing the London Marathon, working toward a 60-mile distance, and—most importantly—doing it in a way that respects my body. Living and running with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome means constant adjustment, creativity, and patience, and I’ll continue sharing that story honestly: the good days, the hard days, the pivots, and the lessons along the way.Flow means letting go of force.Flow means adapting instead of resisting.Flow means honoring where I am while still believing in where I’m going.In 2026, I’m choosing sustainable strength, long-term joy, and movement that works with my body instead of against it. I’ll keep telling the truth about running with EDS, showing what’s possible when we adapt—and reminding anyone watching that there is no one “right” way to move through life or sport.If you’re learning how to bend without breaking, adjust without quitting, and trust the current a little more this year—you’re in the right place.Let’s flow.— Julianna

This week on Runnah, I’m sharing a very special audio-only episode where I had the honor of being a guest on the Pain Cave to Power podcast—and I was genuinely so grateful to be part of this conversation.We talked about running, yes—but also about identity, visibility, and what it really means to keep showing up in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. I opened up about my journey as a marathoner and trail runner, a registered dietitian, a storyteller, and someone navigating chronic biomechanical and neurological challenges while still fiercely loving this sport.This conversation goes beyond splits and mileage. We dig into the emotional landscape of running with chronic conditions, the often-unseen barriers faced by disabled and female-identifying runners, and the gaps that still exist—especially in trail and ultra spaces. Most importantly, we talk about what true inclusivity, safety, and representation can (and should) look like in the running community.We cover:How I found running and storytelling—and why both matterWhat it’s like to run (and sometimes not run) with chronic illnessAdvocacy for disabled athletes and female-identifying runnersThe emotional and mental side of endurance sportsInclusivity gaps in trail and ultra runningHow communities and leaders can do better—and be betterThis episode is honest, vulnerable, and very real. It’s a reminder that the “pain cave” isn’t always physical—and that power doesn’t come from pretending things are fine, but from claiming our whole selves, exactly as we are.I’m so thankful to the Pain Cave to Power team for holding space for this conversation and for inviting me on. I hope this episode makes you feel seen, less alone, and reminded that you belong here—no matter where you are in your running journey.🎧 Audio-only episode📅 Recorded December 20, 2025

This episode of Runnah is just me. No guest. No hype. No pretending.I’m dealing with ongoing foot issues, chronic illness, and the very real reality of not being able to run right now—and honestly? That’s hard to say out loud. Running has always been my outlet, my grounding force, my way of making sense of things… and right now, it’s not there in the way I want it to be.So this is me checking in. Talking about grief, frustration, fear, and what it feels like when your body puts you on pause without asking your permission. It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s not tied up with a neat bow.If you’re injured, sidelined, navigating chronic pain, disability, or just feeling disconnected from the thing that once made you feel like you—I see you. You’re still a runner. You still belong here. And you’re not failing because your body needs something different right now.Runnah has always been about more than miles. It’s about the full story—the joy, the struggle, the waiting, the coming back (whenever that looks like).Thanks for being here. Thanks for listening. And thanks for holding space with me.💛 If this episode resonates, feel free to like, comment, share, or send it to someone who might need it today.

In this episode of Runnah, I’m joined by Jim Keane, Director of the Boston Bulldogs Running Club—a community built on running, resilience, and showing up for one another in meaningful ways.We talk about how the Boston Bulldogs have grown into so much more than a running club: they’re a support system, a charity team, and a powerful example of how running can be used as a force for good. Jim shares the heart behind the Bulldogs’ mission, what makes their community so special, and how runners of all levels can get involved—whether you’re chasing big goals or simply looking for a place where you belong.We also dive into the Bulldogs’ Boston Marathon charity team, the impact they’re making through fundraising and advocacy, and why community-centered running matters now more than ever. This conversation is about connection, purpose, and finding your people through movement—no matter your pace or background.If you’ve ever wondered how running clubs can change lives (including your own), this episode is for you.Learn more and get involved with the Boston Bulldogs Running Club:🐾 Website:https://bostonbulldogsrunning.org/🏅 2026 Boston Marathon Charity Team:https://bostonbulldogsrunning.org/boston-marathon-team/❤️ How to Donate:https://bostonbulldogsrunning.org/donate/👟 Become a Member:https://bostonbulldogsrunning.org/be-a-member/Follow the Boston Bulldogs on social media:LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/boston-bulldogs-running-clubFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/bostonbulldogsrunningInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/bostonbulldogsrunningYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@bostonbulldogs9913As always, Runnah is about community, conversation, and celebrating the many ways running brings people together.

In this episode of Runnah, I’m joined by fellow running podcasters (and all-around great humans) Eric and Erika from On The Runs for a conversation that goes the distance—and then some.We talk about why runners are the best storytellers, how podcasting helps build real community in the running space, and why sharing all the miles—highs, lows, awkward moments, and yes… the infamous “Code Brown” stories—matters. Because if you’ve run long enough, you’ve got a story that didn’t go according to pace plan.Eric and Erika have been friends for over 20 years, and their chemistry is effortless. The banter is easy, the laughs come fast, and the conversation feels less like an interview and more like a long run where the miles fly by. Whether you’re a brand-new runner or a lifelong lifer, this episode is proof that community is the real finish line.Consider this one a conversational negative split: relaxed at the start, deeper by the end, and absolutely worth sticking around for.🏃‍♂️ Follow On The Runs Podcast on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ontheruns/?hl=en🎙️ RunnahA podcast about running, community, and the people who keep showing up—on the roads, the trails, and for each other.📩 Contact: [email protected]📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@runnahpodcast📸 Instagram: @runnahpodLace up, press play, and come hang!

In this episode of Runnah, I’m breaking down my full 300+ mile experience with the PUMA ForeverRUN 1 — a stability shoe that somehow keeps showing up and showing off.

In this solo episode of Runnah, I’m opening up about something I’ve been quietly navigating behind the scenes: suspected dystonia and what it’s been like trying to manage symptoms while still showing up as a runner, a creator, and a human being.This isn’t a medical deep dive — it’s a real, honest conversation about learning to adapt, listening to my body, and figuring out what actually helps me day to day. I talk about the tools and strategies that have genuinely made a difference for me, including:✨ Fidget rings for grounding and nervous system regulation🎤 Singing (yes, singing!) to relax my system and interrupt patterns👟 Running in lower-stack shoes to feel more connected and stable🧠 Therapy — because dealing with new symptoms can be mentally heavy🧩 Learning to slow down, pay attention, and give myself graceIf you’re dealing with a neurological mystery, chronic symptoms, or anything that makes you feel “not like yourself,” I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone. This is me sharing the messy middle — the coping, the management, the questions, the small wins, and the ways I’m continuing to move forward without giving up the sport I love.Grab a tea, settle in, and let’s talk about what it means to keep going when your body throws you curveballs. 💛👇 Support Runnah:☕ buymeacoffee.com/runnah👇 Follow along:IG: @jellyanna_runsEmail: [email protected]#RunnahPodcast #Dystonia #NeurologicalSymptoms #RunningWithDisability #ChronicIllness #RunningPodcast #MentalHealthAndRunning #AdaptedRunning #SoloEpisode
