Life in Stride OTQ Boyz

In this episode, the boys had the three other members of their OTQ Boyz text group on the pod: Sam Bland, Sam Meredith, and Chris Sadler. We were discussing what topic to cover on this one and thought it would be fun to have these boys on and help us break down some topics. We talked about what training looks like in the racing off-season, the importance of finding a good running group, how to get through a training rut and more! This episode is unhinged and a lot of fun, we will definitely have the boys back on this year. Enjoy!

https://open.spotify.com/episode/7rUxttltzUH6LxG8Rc84AS?si=dCOzMjQVS0yPY9FwzIlh2A

In this episode, the boys are joined by special guest Adam Popp. In 2007, Adam was working to disarm an IED in Afghanistan when a secondary IED injured him, leading to amputation of his right leg above the knee. In a moment, his life was changed forever. Trying to figure out his next steps, Adam ended up getting two Master’s Degrees (Sport and Performance Psychology and Rehabilitation Counseling) and decided to start running in 2015. Adam has had several impressive race results since then in the triathalon, marathon, and ultra disciplines. Most recently, he ran a 100 mile PR of 16 hours and a marathon PR of 3:08 at the London Marathon. In his professional life, Adam uses his educational background to help others going through similar situations that he went through. This episode is inspiring and was very educational to the world of para athletics. Enjoy!

In this episode, the boys have on special guest Caroline Gosser. Caroline trains with us in Louisville and is a medical student at UofL. While she has been running for a long time now, she just started her marathoning journey with a stunning time of 2:41 at the Houston Marathon in January. Following that, she had a tough DNF at Carmel Marathon in April due to injury but was able to sort out the issue in time to win the Kentucky Derby Marathon just a couple weeks ago! We discuss all of these races, balancing her crazy schedule, some tools she uses to keep a positive mindset, and more!
