275. In Good Faith: Olympian Vashti Cunningham On Achieving Balance & New Heights
From a young age, Vashti Cunningham knew she was destined to go above and beyond — literally. After first attempting the high jump in fourth grade, the Las Vegas native ultimately went on to become one of the best women in the sport in the world. Now a two-time Olympian and six-time national champion, Vashti talks about how her faith guides her, what it was like to come up short at the 2023 World Championships, and what it was like being raised by two pastors. Plus: the pride she takes in representing her sponsors Nike and Red Bull, and how she hopes people feel when they leave a discussion with her.

5-MINUTE FRIDAY: When Not Getting What You Want Works Out
High on the gratitude list: Tokyo Marathon, here I come! Talking about how I had to do something that I didn't want to do yesterday — and it ended up really working out for me. Trusting the process isn't always easy, but when we can let go of how we think things "should" be and embrace how things are, a lot of possibilities open up. Also: Answering a listener question on how to keep white sneakers white (well, how I do, anyway).

274. Against the Odds: Diana Flores On Playing a Man's Game & Flag Football As An Olympic Sport
Diana Flores wants the world to know that football isn't just a man's game. The captain and quarterback of the Mexican flag football national team and world champion is making waves — showing young women everywhere that there's room for them on the field and beyond.
An ambassador for the NFL, Flores made headlines last year during Super Bowl LVII in the commercial Run With it, promoting flag football as an Olympic sport in 2028. And now? It's officially in the Los Angeles Games. In today's episode, she talks about why she chose to invest herself in this particular sport from a young age, how it feels to be working with some of her childhood idols, and how she feels about breaking records while inspiring a generation of young girls.

Customer Reviews
Hot girl walk fuel
I love this podcast so much. Emily is a fantastic interviewer - and the range in wellness-focused or wellness adjacent guests are always teaching me something new or motivating me to be a better version of myself. I listen religiously on my daily hot girl walks.
THE BEST
I’ve been listening to Hurdle for 2+ years and this is hands down my favorite podcast. I love all of the different guests that Emily has from Peloton instructors to athletes to self help gurus. I always finish my weekly listening session feeling empowered & wanting to be a better person—can’t say that about many things these days! Thanks Emily for your amazing content, I hope to cross paths with you at a Hurdle meet up someday!!
RUN to listen to this!
Emily has one of those voices you feel like you could listen to, chat with, or run to! The content of each podcast hits the nail in the head every. Single. Time! Looking for motivation ✔️ Looking for marathon prep ✔️ Looking for female empowerment (works for both men & women, hence the feminist movement) ✔️✔️✔️ She’s writing all the articles, recording all the podcast and kill in’ it in the game of LIFE! *edit - it’s so much more than just running! This “wellness” podcast focuses not just on the physical but mental, emotional and growth! I highly recommend her newest with Yung Pablo 💕
