On The Run

🚨Episode 22: Adam Bratton🚨 Recently, I’ve been thinking about how cool it would be to run or workout with a guest before recording a podcast episode. Sure enough, that’s exactly what Adam suggested when we discussed doing a podcast together. I highly recommend it and plan to do the same thing going forward! Today’s guest is the founder of Human Powered Movement.  🧐What is Human Powered Movement? It is a culmination of MANY things, which Adam and I discuss.  Its mission: to inspire more activity in people’s lives.  Adam is the race director for their events which includes bike and running races - including MOVE, a bike and running race which is happening THIS WEEKEND, see website link below for details 🏁 It was an honor to hang out with Adam and talk all things HPM, running, and adventures - all while enjoying some of his home-brewed beer. He’s built a great company that wants to help people, the community, and the planet in every possible way.  I can’t wait to run in my first HPM event this year and join in on the fun! Also, check out their Strava Club and YouTube channel!

EPISODE 18 On deck: OBX Half Marathon Recap Kentucky Derby Half Marathon race/weekend recap Upcoming Time Laps 24HR Race Preview Fall Marathon Reveal 👀 OBX I shocked myself by running the last mile under a 7 pace and was pumped how I made adjustments mid-race to achieve my goal. Sometimes solving the problem along the way can be more fun than achieving the goal. When you do both, it makes for a great weekend and leaves you hungrier for more! Kentucky Derby Half Chris achieved the 30 miles before turning age 30 with Lucas and I running alongside him for the first 7.5 miles. Going into the race, I wasn’t sure how my legs would hold up with the pace Chris wanted to run but they got the job done baby. It ended up being my second fastest half! This made me even more confident about my current fitness level and even more jazzed for my upcoming fall marathon.  Episode is short and sweet. Enjoy ✌🏼

Running, and this podcast, has allowed me to meet some incredible people around Charlotte.  We all share the love of running and pushing ourselves to the limit. However we all have a different reason as to why we started down this path. Tony’s story is unique and shows how strong he is. We all get knocked down. What matters is that we get back up. Tony did that and much more. It was a pleasure to meet and hang out with him. In this podcast, he and I cover: 🏃How he became a runner 💪🏼Dealing with adversity 🥇Completing his first 100 miler a few weeks ago Enjoy ✌🏼

Rachel and I cover her journey through college and how she became a vegan and avid runner. She's accomplished some great goals already and is gearing up for a big year!

¡EPISODE 15! As one of the owners of @charlotterunningcompany, you’ve probably ran into @mr_chandler at one of their stores or many races throughout the year. I was lucky enough to sit down with him and discuss a few topics including his journey to becoming one of the owners of Charlotte Running Company.  He and the team at CRC are what make Charlotte such a great RUNNING CITY!! You can visit one of their 4 locations for all your running needs or see their website to shop and check out their events and race calendar for the year. “Every day is a good day” - Harry ✌🏼 . . . #EveryDayIsAGoodDay #cltrunning #cltrunner #runningpodcast #cltpodcast #charlottepodcast #charlotterunningcompany #runner #running #charlotte

Some big milestones have been hit over the last few weeks. I quickly cover them along with the 34 mile run I did a few weeks ago and the 4x4x24 challenge that Ellis Rushford and I did. The upcoming interviews are going to be great and I'm excited to start prepping for them. MST 50 is this weekend and it is my first ultramarathon. I had big goals for the race, but they have slightly changed. Listen in to learn more!

🏃🏻‍♀️EPISODE 13: Ashley Mahoney🏃🏻‍♀️ Ashley is a former college soccer player, yoga sculpt teacher, marathoner, and ultra-marathoner. She has ran and climbed some in some incredible places with many adventures ahead. What motivated her to run an ultra-marathon? How does yoga fuel her running? And what wild adventures are on the horizon? Tune in to find out! Enjoy ✌🏼

EPISODE 12 It’s impossible to not be motivated after listening to @mintac talk about racing.  It was an honor to have him on the podcast and to hear his viewpoint on training, fueling, and how to approach a race. It’s inevitable that something will go wrong during a 100 mile race.  After speaking with him, it’s obvious that he has the attitude to find solutions instead of excuses. As Phil says, “Badwater just isn’t ready for me yet” 🔥 And it seems like his races are getting longer each year 👀 tune in to hear his plans for 2024! Enjoy ✌🏼

EPISODE 11 - Dominic Piazza We chat with Dom about his long journey with rugby: from discovering the sport to championship success here in Charlotte!  He gives us a glimpse with what keeps him driven and why chasing your passion is the ultimate game-changer.  Don't miss this inspiring episode 🏉 Now also available on Apple Podcast!

Episode 10 - Chris Roberts! This episode focuses on mental health and it’s a bonus that our guest has a running history as well. Chris is the analogy king. He does a fantastic job of breaking down lessons he’s learned on the track and as a clinical mental health counselor. When he speaks, you can hear his passion for helping others and his gratefulness for his clients and former students. The mind-body connection is fascinating and it’s one of many topics we cover. Speaking with Chris was just as informative as it was entertaining. Enjoy ✌🏼

Episode 9 with Alex Krause! Today’s guest has competed in triathlons, tough mudders, a marathon, and other outdoor challenges - with more come! He and I discuss races and challenges we want to tackle in the near future, why some sports have become increasingly popular over the last few years, and much more. He is humble and rarely mentions his volunteer efforts. Alex regularly volunteers with Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization which helps communities in times of disaster and crises. This is just a glimpse of who he is. Sit back and enjoy ✌🏼

Episode 8! Quick rundown of my first marathon and what I learned from it. My family being there made the experience even better. I currently have 3 races planned for 2024: ⭐️3/9 - MST 50 mile ⭐️4/21 - Flying Pirate Half Marathon ⭐️5/17-18 - Whitewater Center Timelaps 24HR Race (Team of 6) Just finished week 1 for MST 50🏃 What races/competitions are you running next year?

Episode 7! Running a marathon is hard enough. Running a marathon in all 50 states is next level! Lucas Prillaman has 10 down and 40 to go. Listening to him speak about running and seeing his Race Log excel document already has me pumped up for my next race. Time flew by recording this episode. It’s hard to beat a conversation with someone who’s so passionate about something. I’ve learned a lot from Lucas and will continue to look to him for advice in the future. Enjoy 🏃

Episode 6 with David Kocher! David is entering his seventh year as a professional golfer and currently plays on the Korn Ferry Tour. He shot a career best round of 59 earlier this year and takes us through the mindset he had during the round and the minor changes he made just weeks before. As technical as the game of golf is, it is twice as mentally demanding. It was a treat listening to how he approaches things mentally, on and off the course. His attention to detail is what sets him apart from the competition and I can tell he has big things in store for the upcoming year. I could go on and on, but I'll leave the rest for the podcast. Enjoy ✌️

As I mentioned, I do not want to do many solo pods but I was back in the hometown for thanksgiving and wanted to give some recaps of recent races over the last 2 weeks. I am 1 week away from the Dallas marathon and have 3 great upcoming interviews. Stay tuned!

Learn how he built-up and managed running 100 mile weeks, what the different types of runners are, and how training can differ based on the type of runner you are. Ryan is a good friend and a great person to learn from. He does everything with a passion and doesn’t let any detail go unnoticed. I had a blast recording this and I’m excited to implement what I learned from Ryan into my training. Our running conversation continued after we stopped recording and we’re already cooking up topics for his future return. Enjoy ✌🏼🏃 Follow me on: Instagram @OnTheRun_Podcast X @OnTheRun_Pod

Celine speaks about her days in college before finding fitness, her motivation to finally workout, how she was introduced to it, and where she currently is in her fitness journey. She was an early adopter of @whoop and shares her love for their data. She and I both recent got a @garmin for our running and are learning the ins and outs of its potential as well. She’s a perfect example for how you can go from a beginner to expert in just a few short years. Enjoy 👏🏼

A glimpse into my athletic background and what lead me to where I am today with running. This is a solo episode but I will be doing mostly interview style episodes going forward. Along with interviews, I hope this podcast can help someone who is at the beginning of their journey - whether that be a new activity, a new business, or accomplishing a major goal - just as I am. By journaling on X and speaking about the journey on the podcast, I hope it gives them comfort in knowing that someone else is going through the same struggles that they are experiencing. I am not doing this podcast because I believe that I am an expert. I am doing this as a journal of my journey, to guide others who might be at the beginning of their journey, and to speak with amazing people from who we can learn. Enjoy.
