    Nike After Dark Half Marathon Los Angeles - Race Recap with DJ Tricey Trice

    In this episode, I welcome fellow podcaster and newly-minted half-marathoner DJ Tricey Trice (A Trice Rias-Thompson). She shares the spontaneous decision-making process that led her to take on a half marathon, her solo training regime, and the mental and physical challenges she overcame to complete it. The discussion also touches on the importance of nutrition, the benefits of running groups, and the unique experience of participating in the Nike After Dark Half Marathon event. Shifting gears, DJ Tricey Trice is also the host of LA Sparks Weekly, so I had to ask her about her thoughts on her favorite team this season. We dived into an in-depth analysis of the WNBA, discussing team dynamics, key players, and the current season’s surprises and challenges. Part race report, part WNBA season analysis, part comedy show. I hope you enjoy, and check out her show: https://www.instagram.com/djtriceytrice/ Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:23 The Decision to Run a Half Marathon 01:58 Training for the Half Marathon 06:58 Race Day Experiences and Challenges 12:44 Post-Race Reflections and Continued Running 20:40 Basketball and the LA Sparks 25:33 Coaching Changes and Player Movements 26:30 Jordan Canada's Impact and Future 26:46 Nneka Ogwumike: The Underrated MVP 28:34 Dallas Wings' Strategy and Player Dynamics 32:53 Phoenix Mercury's New Era 43:34 Sparks' Future Lineup and Strategy 46:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Subscribe to our newsletter: https://melaninmvp.beehiiv.com/ This show is part of the Everyday Athlete Podcast Network: https://runtrimag.com/everyday-athlete-podcast-network/
