We are so happy to welcome Michelle Baxter to the Suite Run Podcast!
Michelle Baxter—also known as The Runner’s Plate on social media--is a sub-3 hour marathoner, mom of two boys, running coach, and a morning runner who runs without music but does like to listen to podcasts while on the treadmill.
Michelle and her family currently reside in Anchorage, Alaska, but will be moving in just a couple of weeks to Minnesota, which is where Michelle grew up. Her and her husband are making a big switch in their careers and will be taking over the family farm of corn and soybeans.
Michelle and her husband spent the last 15 years in Anchorage. She worked at the local running store (Skinny Raven Sports), coached with the Raven Run Club, and did a lot of Alaskan things over the years. It was not uncommon for Michelle to see a variety of wild animals on her morning runs: moose, coyote, lynx, eagles, sandhill cranes, along with other species.
Michelle shares her inspiring running journey in the first half of the conversation and then we chat all things ALASKA, including Michelle's favorite places to run (bring the bear spray!), great places to dine out in Anchorage, fun races and so much more.
Enjoy our conversation!

Previnex
One of the biggest challenges with supplements is that there are SO many out there and it’s next to impossible to understand and figure out the right ones to take. Enter Joint Health PLUS. The main active ingredient is clinically proven to protect joint cartilage from breakdown during exercise, which is huge for me as a runner. It’s also clinically proven to reduce joint pain, joint stiffness, and improve joining flexibility in 7-10 days. I can tell you that this product is backed by real science and it’s legit. Since starting Joint Health PLUS, I’ve (Nat! AND Jerold is starting to take them too!) felt so good on my runs, especially after coming back from an injury. Previnex also offers a 100% money back guarantee, where if you don’t feel tangible benefits, you get your money back no questions asked. Pretty amazing and use the code "suiterun" for 15% off your first purchase. You can thank us later ;)
