    Ep. 46: Chasing Sub-3 While Inspiring Other Runners | Laura Pett

    In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sit down with Tennessee-based marathoner Laura Pett to talk about her journey from collegiate cross country to chasing a sub-3-hour marathon. Laura made her marathon debut in 2017 at the Atlanta Marathon, tackling a tough course and running 3:40. Since then, she's steadily improved — qualifying for the Boston Marathon multiple times and lowering her PR to a 3:04. We dive into what's helped her make those gains, what it takes to close the gap to sub-3, and how she balances training with family life and a career. Laura also shares how she uses her Instagram platform, @lpett.running, to connect with other runners, offer practical advice, and build a supportive community. If you're chasing a big goal while juggling real life, this one will resonate. #running #marathontraining #sub3marathon #runningpodcast

    Ep. 45: From Burnout to 2:54: Adri Ducharme on Finding Joy in Running Again

    In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sat down with Adriana Ducharme (@runningthelife_ on Instagram) to unpack a journey that many runners experience but few talk about openly. Adri shares how a toxic college coaching environment led to burnout and a loss of identity within the sport – and how stepping away from that structure helped rediscover what running could be. Through joining a club cross country team at the University of Georgia, she rebuilt her relationship with competition, community, and herself. That renewed perspective translated into serious performance gains. Adri went from a 3:14 marathon debut to a 2:54, proving that growth doesn't always come from pushing harder — it comes from finding joy again. We also talk about balancing competitive goals with a full-time teaching career, and how Adri uses her platform to show that chasing big goals is still possible, even with a busy life. This episode is for anyone who's felt burned out, stuck, or unsure of what's next – and needs a reminder that a comeback is always possible. #running #podcast #marathons #teaching #trackandfield

    Ep. 44: How Niko Labendeira Went From a Weight Loss Journey to a 3:28 Marathon

    It started as a way to become a better version of himself after gaining more weight than he felt comfortable with. Now, he's a 3:28 marathoner pursuing a Boston Qualifier in the near future. As a kid, pursuing fast times in marathons, half marathons (he's a sub 1;28 guy), and 5Ks (he's also an 18:46 guy) wasn't something he ever thought he'd do. But once he started back in 2020 just for health, he soon became quite the fan of the sport. Now, not only is he pushing himself to do hard things, he's also inspiring his wife, who finds joy chasing her own PRs, and his kids, one of which is doing triathlons at 7 years old and another who can ride a bike without training wheels at just 3. Niko's a perfect example of when you make the choice to get consistent and put out that energy, not only will you change your own life, you'll inspire those around you to chase theirs. If this episode inspired you to do something hard today, let me know in the comments and share it with a friend. Thanks for listening to Niko's story on Through Their Stride.

    Ep. 43: From 4:34 to 2:39: How Justin Cannon Learned to "Get Greedy"

    In this episode, I sit down with marathon coach and "Busy Runner" Justin Cannon to unpack how he went from a 4:34 debut marathon to a 3:06 in his very next race and then to a PR of 2:39. That kind of leap didn't just change his PR; it changed his entire mindset, making him want to "get greedy" with his goals and see how far he could really go. We dig into what shifted his entire mindset between each marathon, how he balances big dreams with real-life responsibilities, and why that transformation pushed him to start coaching and helping other runners chase their own breakthroughs. If you've ever wondered what's possible when you stop playing it safe and start getting a little greedy with your potential, this conversation is for you. #marathons #marathontraining #running #chaseyourdream #runningpodcast

    Ep. 42: How Your Child's Ambition Can Push You to Do Hard Things | Jim LeRoux

    As life piles on, it can be easy to escape into bad habits. But sometimes, all it takes is seeing your own child muscle up the courage to do hard things for you to start chasing your dreams again. For Jim LeRoux, that's exactly what happened. Jim was a well-respected competitive runner in high school, but college studies, family building, and the grind of everyday life led him to become a tad overweight, out of shape, and with unhealthy blood pressure numbers. He had a hard time finding the motivation to chase that childlike self again, but when his own daughter picked up cross country, it reawakened something inside of himself. Seeing his own daughter chase fast times and first place finishes made him want to get back into shape so that he could run with her. He's done just that, and now has impressive times of sub-19 5Ks, sub-40 10Ks, and even a marathon PR under 3:15. Jim's story proves that if you say yes to committing to your own promises, anything is possible. I hope this one inspires you to take on something hard and show up for yourself even when no one is watching. #running #dohardthings #motivation #texasrunners #runningpodcast

    Ep. 41: Leaving Toxic Cycles and Finding Freedom on the Run | Heather Rosemand

    In this episode, I'm joined by Heather Rosemand, also known as @heatherrunstexas on Instagram, for an honest conversation about healing, growth, and what it looks like to rebuild your life one step at a time. Heather shares how she got out of an unhealthy relationship, changed her relationship with alcohol, and found something life-giving through running. We talk about the role running has played in her healing, how it helped create a stronger version of herself, and how it's connected her to a community that continues to support and inspire her. This episode is about choosing yourself, doing hard things, and discovering that a new life really can begin with one brave decision. #running #runningpodcast #runningmotivation #changeyourlife

    Ep. 40: She Never Stopped Believing: Andie Cozzarelli's OTQ Story

    Andie Cozzarelli's journey back to the Olympic Trials marathon standard is one of the most powerful stories I've heard. After debuting in the marathon at the 2016 Olympic Trials and not finishing, Andie spent years fighting to get back. The road was anything but smooth, filled with setbacks, hard lessons, and moments that tested her patience and belief. But in 2026, she broke through in a big way, winning the Glass City Marathon in 2:36:59 and earning the OTQ standard. We talk about what it took to stay in the fight, how learning to truly listen to her body changed her approach, and how those experiences now shape the way she coaches others. This conversation is about perseverance, perspective, and what it means to keep showing up for others. #running #olympictrials #OTQ #marathontraining #runmotivation #runningpodcast

    Ep. 39: Heart Over Hard: Aly Kozar on Running Through Life's Toughest Seasons

    In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sit down with Arizona-based runner Aly Kozar (@runswithheart on Instagram) to talk about what it means to keep showing up when life doesn't go according to plan. Aly shares the ups and downs of her marathon journey, how she's learned to get back up after hard seasons in running and in life, and the deeper personal road of walking through infertility and PCOS. Our conversation centers on resilience, perspective, and the growth mindset that has helped her keep moving forward with hope, honesty, and positivity. This is an episode about endurance in every sense of the word, whether it's chasing finish lines or learning how to keep going when the path is unclear. #running #motivation #PCOS #infertility #runningmotivation #runningpodcast
