    88 Miles and Still Questioning It | White Lake Ultras Recap

    In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with ultra runner Ben to break down his experience at the White Lake Ultras, where he ran an incredible new PR of 88 miles. We get into what actually worked during the race, what completely fell apart, the physical and mental side of running deep into ultra territory, and the complicated emotions that can come with a huge performance that still doesn’t fully feel like a “win.” We also talk about: Ultra running mindset and mental toughnessFueling, pacing, and race strategyThe emotional side of chasing big endurance goalsLearning from difficult racesWhy ultra running success isn’t always black and whiteBen’s ongoing quest to finish the legendary Jigger Johnson 100This is an honest conversation about ambition, grit, disappointment, progress, and what keeps runners coming back for more miles even after the wheels wobble a little. Because sometimes an 88-mile PR still leaves your brain going, “...yeah but.” 📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod

    Unboxing the Mount to Coast R1 and T1 Running Shoes

    In this episode of Runnah, I’m unboxing two new shoes from Mount to Coast that were generously gifted to support my training: the R1 and the T1. The cool part? These are two VERY different shoes built for different types of running, and I’m diving into my first impressions of both. The R1 immediately caught my attention as a lightweight, smooth-feeling road shoe that feels built for eating up daily miles and long efforts, while the T1 looks ready for trail miles, technical terrain, and adventure days out on the dirt. In this episode, I talk about: First impressions of the Mount to Coast R1 and T1Fit, comfort, and step-in feelThe ride and foam feel of both shoesToe box and lockdown thoughtsRoad vs. trail differences between the two modelsWhat I’m most excited to test in trainingWhy Mount to Coast has been getting attention in the ultra and endurance worldAs someone training toward big trail and endurance goals while navigating EDS, Ankylosing Spondylitis, hip dysplasia, and dystonia, I’m always searching for shoes that can handle real mileage while still feeling comfortable and stable over long efforts. This is a true first-look unboxing episode, and I’ll definitely be sharing more once I get more miles in both pairs. 📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod

    Building a Family Around Trail Running

    In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with local trail runner Jenny Houlahan to talk about what it looks like to build a truly family-centered life around running, community, and the trails. Jenny is part of Trail Animals Running Club (TARC), and one of the coolest things about her approach to trail running is that she doesn’t do it alone. We talk about racing and adventuring with her husband, three kids, and even their two dogs—and how running has become something that connects their whole family instead of pulling them apart. This conversation is all about: Raising kids around trail and ultra cultureMaking running feel fun and inclusive for familiesThe realities of balancing training, parenting, and lifeWhy community matters so much in trail runningCreating positive outdoor experiences for kidsHow trail running can become part of family identity and connectionJenny brings such a grounded and encouraging perspective to the sport, and this episode is a great reminder that trail running doesn’t have to look one specific way to be meaningful. Whether you’re a parent runner, a trail runner trying to balance life and miles, or someone who just loves hearing stories about good people building community through running, this one is for you. Because sometimes the aid station snacks are family-sized. Find Jenny here: https://www.instagram.com/houlahan_adventures/ 📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod

    Running While Traveling: Safety Tips Every Runner Should Know

    In this episode of Runnah, we’re heading to Dublin for a conversation all about how to run safely while traveling—without looking completely lost while trying to figure out metric pace conversions and cobblestone sidewalks at the same time. While traveling in Dublin, I started thinking about how different running can feel when you’re in a new city: unfamiliar streets, different traffic patterns, early morning solo runs, figuring out where to safely carry your phone and gear, and trying not to accidentally end up 10 miles away because “I’ll just go a little farther” sounded like a good idea at the time. In this episode, I share practical tips for: Staying safe while running in a new cityPlanning routes before you head outRunning solo while travelingWhat gear I actually bring with meHow to stay aware without being anxiousWhy running while traveling can actually become one of the best ways to experience a placeWhether you’re training while on vacation, traveling for a marathon, or just squeezing in miles between sightseeing and snacks, this episode is for the runners who pack shoes before they pack anything else. Because let’s be honest: some people collect magnets when they travel. Runners collect Strava maps. 📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod

    He Runs Marathons in Crocs and Doesn’t Care What You Think

    In this episode of Runnah, I’m joined by Andrew—the guy I met in Tokyo running the **Tokyo Marathon… in bright yellow Crocs. Yes, you read that right. Andrew runs his marathons in Crocs—and not just any marathons. He’s a multiple-time World Marathon Majors finisher, an OR nurse, a Maine local, and someone who shows up fully and unapologetically as himself every single time he steps on the start line. This conversation is about so much more than footwear. It’s about joy, authenticity, and what it really means to love running—not for the times, but for the experience, the people, and the stories along the way. We get into: Running marathons in Crocs (and why it works for him)His experience at the Tokyo Marathon and other World Marathon MajorsBalancing life as an OR RN with endurance trainingWhat it means to show up authentically in the running spaceWhy loving the sport matters more than anything elseAndrew is the kind of runner who reminds you that there’s no one “right” way to do this—just your way. And that’s exactly what makes this episode so special. 🔗 Follow Andrew:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrew.tiemann.1Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/11875094 📩 Connect with Runnah:Email: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod

    Altra Mont Blanc Speed Review | After 30 Miles on Trail

    In this episode of Runnah, I’m sharing my thoughts on the Altra Mont Blanc Speed after putting about 30 miles on them out on the trails. Short version: I keep reaching for this shoe. Altra sent me this pair to test for my training, and I’ve been taking that seriously—getting them out on real runs, different terrain, and paying attention to how they actually feel over time. What stands out to me is the combination of lightweight cushioning, a secure midfoot feel, and that wide toe box that lets my foot do what it needs to do—especially on longer efforts. It feels responsive without being harsh, and stable without feeling overbuilt. In this episode, I talk through: How the shoe has felt over my first ~30 milesFit and lockdown (and where it works well)Cushion and responsiveness on trailWhat kind of runner I think this shoe is best forWhy it’s been working so well for me in trainingThis isn’t a first impression—it’s how the shoe is actually showing up once the miles start to add up. 📩 Connect with Runnah:Email: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod

    Topo Specter 2 Review: A Wide Toe Box Shoe That Actually Feels Fast

    In this episode of Runnah, I’m breaking down my experience with the Topo Specter 2—and yes, I bought these used… and honestly? I’m really impressed. We’re talking about what actually matters when you’re putting in real miles: how the foam feels, how the shoe locks down, and whether your toes can actually breathe. The Specter 2 stands out with its lightweight, responsive Pebax midsole, giving you that snappy, energetic ride without feeling overly soft or unstable . Add in the secure midfoot lockdown and that classic Topo wide toe box, and you get a shoe that feels both fast and natural at the same time. In this episode, I get into: My honest thoughts after buying these secondhandHow the foam actually feels on the run (not just on paper)Why the midfoot lockdown really worksThe magic of a wide toe box for comfort + performanceWho this shoe is (and isn’t) forIf you’re looking for a lightweight, high-cushion trainer that still feels nimble, this might be one to consider. 📩 Connect with Runnah:Email: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod
