  4. Josh Izewski: Back-to-Back, Broad Street Run Champion. Fastest 10-Miler as an American. How He Broke the Broad Street Course Record.

    Josh Izewski: Back-to-Back, Broad Street Run Champion. Fastest 10-Miler as an American. How He Broke the Broad Street Course Record.

    Today, I have the honor to speak with back-to-back BSR champion, Josh Izewski. Josh not only won the ten mile race, but he did so in an impressive 45 minutes and 8 seconds, that is roughly a 4 minute and 30 second mile pace. This unbelievable performance not only set a course record, but it marked the fastest 10-miler ever by an American!  Josh joins me to discuss this amazing accomplishment. He explains what he believes makes the broad street run unique, how he approached it, how he managed to run the course 65 seconds faster than his winning time last year, and what it meant to him to set the course record at the largest 10-mile race in the country. Roughly 40,000 runners raced down broad street, and Josh tells me what it was like leading the pack with the huge crowds who came out to cheer and bring the energy that only Philly can provide. Josh unpacks what he did differently that allowed him to be aggressive on race day, how he stays consistent and dialed-in with his training and how his mentality and belief helped him run at his best. Josh recently signed as a professional runner with Asics and he is set to move closer to his family in the New Jersey / Pennsylvania area with his fiancée and dogs. Josh's Instagram Support the show

    Behind the Article: "Yoga for Depression." Added Value, Context & Insights. How Psychological Environment Effects Mental Health. DNA Methylation & Yoga.

    Today, I’m giving you a “behind the reporting” podcast, where I’ll provide you my personal opinion, experience and added value with information that did not make it into my recent article for the U.S. News titled: How to Start a Yoga Practice for Depression, According to Experts. In the article, I feature Dr. Ken Duckworth the Chief Medical Officer at the National Alliance of Mental Illness and author of the book, You Are Not Alone. Amy Weintraub, someone who attributes her recovery from depression in large part to yoga. While her therapist once told her that she would always struggle with mental health, Weintraub is a published author who has also trained hundreds of yoga teachers how to teach yoga for depression.  Dr. Patricia Kinser, dean of Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Nursing and Judith B. Collins and Joseph M. Teefey Distinguished Professor. She researches yoga- and mindfulness-based interventions for mental health.
