Falls Creek Run Camp: https://www.relaxedrunning.com/falls-creek

On this week's podcast, I'm joined by Sarah Gearhart, an accomplished writer and marathon runner who has completed 14 marathons. Her work as a sports journalist has been featured in esteemed publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, and many others. Sarah's latest book, titled "We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth," showcases her expertise in the field.

The focus of Sarah's book is Patrick Sang, the renowned coach behind Eliud Kipchoge, widely recognized as the world's top marathon runner. However, what sets Sang apart is the holistic approach he takes with all his runners, including Kipchoge. Sarah's firsthand experience at Sang's Kaptagat training camp provided her with a unique understanding of this tight-knit community, which remains largely unknown and misunderstood by the general public. Nevertheless, it sets a remarkable example that all runners can draw inspiration from.

During our conversation, Sarah and I explore various topics related to her book, "We Share the Sun," including:
What motivated her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes under his guidance.

• The reason why Patrick Sang is often referred to as a life coach rather than just a running coach.
• How the culture fostered by Sang contributes to the success of his athletes.
• The immersive experiences of Sang's runners and how these contribute to their unparalleled achievements.
• How Sarah's perspective on running has transformed since her time spent in Kenya.

Introducing "OTR Classic's" 
During occasional off weeks we'll replay a classic from our early days of the Pod. Due to illness (Eric lost his voice) there will be no new episode this week. So we figured it would be a great time to drop our first OTR Classic!

On this classic, we take it back 1 year ago after the 2022 Boston Marathon when some of our OG's Denise and Sarah joined us to share their experience running in the 2022 Boston Marathon. 

We'll be back next week with out thoughts on spectating the Boston Marathon and soon we'll have multiple runners from the Marathon on the Pod to share their experience just like Denise and Sarah did last year.

On today’s episode, we’re doing something new and featuring an episode of the podcast Hear Her Sports hosted by Elizabeth Emory. This is a collaborative podswap between Elizabeth and I to help introduce you to new kickass podcasts showcasing women in sports. Elizabeth kindly shared one of my episodes featuring Sports Medicine Physician Yetsa Tuakli-Wosornu on her podcast a few months ago and I am thrilled to return the favor!

Elizabeth was a guest over here on Madam Athlete for episode 97 where she talked about starting her podcast, Hear Her Sports, to highlight the stories of women athletes. In this interview, she talks with marathoner and Olympic bronze medalist Molly Seidel.

They talk about:

• Taking the time to rest so you can ramp up when it matters.
• Making sport a place where everyone can be both competitive and able to show support for one another.
• The need for media coverage that doesn’t just routinely cover women’s sports but creates fans and followers by telling the compelling stories of those who maybe don’t make the podium.

You can find the Hear Her Sports podcast on apple podcasts, spotify, and elsewhere!

Content warning: eating disorders, trauma 

If you need a huge dose of inspiration, this episode is for you. Our guest, ultra runner and gravel cyclist Hillary Allen, best known for her incredible comeback after the near-fatal accident she survived during an endurance race in Norway, is the definition of resilience.

Hillary is a Boulder-based ultra-endurance athlete who races for both the Brooks running team the Pinarello gravel bike team. She’s also a scientist with a Master's degree in neuroscience and physiology, a running coach, and the author of Out and Back, a memoir chronicling her incredible story of recovery and resilience. 

Hillary was at the pinnacle of her running career, when, while competing in 2017 a sky race in Norway, when one misstep almost cost her life. She fell 150 feet off of a ridge when and had to be airlifted out with a long list of injuries. 

Doctors said she would never run again. Not only is she running again, she's crushing it. With strength training and gravel cycling in her repertoire, she recently complete her first 100-miler at the UTMB, where she placed third American.

In this interview she shares how she got into trail running, her eating disorder recovery, what motivated her through her arduous rehab process, how she manages strength training, running, and cycling, how her creative process helps with her mental health, how she keeps perfectionism at bay, why she wrote her memoir Out and Back, what community means to her, how she healed from trauma, and so much more.
