run club

Some people love them, some people hate them: no matter where you land, treadmills can be incredible training tools. In this episode of Coach Quip, we list the benefits of running on a treadmill and give you tips on how to make the miles and minutes fly by when you're training indoors.

Welcome back to Raw Intentions Podcast. This week, we’ve got Minnesota native, Denver local, colorful queen, and entrepreneur extraordinaire, Bailey Ness. Bailey is 27 years old, and has created not one, but two incredibly successful businesses. Cooldown Running, a club & community turned clothing brand, and Nesscessity, a social media marketing agency. Absolutely loved hearing her story, and she had SO much incredible advice. We talk about both of her businesses, background stories on why & how she started each, moving to a new city, scaling a community based company, the gaps she found in the athletic clothing industry, the importance of supportive friends, & a few social media hacks that I can NOT wait to implement myself. So stoked for y’all to listen, and we hope you enjoy! Xo

On the eve of the Allianz Partners Richmond Marathon we had a live discussion at the Walmart Health & Fitness Expo with a stacked crew of running podcasters and personalities! We all can benefit from community, and running is no different! Whether your support system is a virtual crew, your neighbor, a local run club, or a coach, we’re exploring all the ways we hold each other accountable. Hear how finding community has impacted well-known personalities in the running industry no matter their skill level and goals. Lindsey Hein of I’ll Have Another moderates a discussion between Trevor Spencer of Marathon Training Academy, Martinus Evans of 300 Pounds and Running, Cynthia Vissers of Another Mother Runner, and Lisa Mitro of Rehab for Runners. 

Tim and Nick West took a scrappy approach to building Bandit, their community-first apparel company for runners. They didn’t bring it up at their run club and they didn’t do any paid advertising in the first year. Here’s how Bandit grew organically and continues to empower the running community.

Darin welcomes back our good friend, Philip Speer, to chat about life, running, and his work in the culinary community.  Since we last chatted, he has opened the critically acclaimed Comedor, launched his own run club, and become a national advocate for mental health in the F&B space. We talk about the importance of having your own clubhouse, focusing on a pre-shift culture, and what he listens to when he’s out for a 5K (playlist here). Then we dig into the archives when Ricci Swift, Bianca, and Molly Nugent, better known as the Brooklyn rock trio Bernadette, swung into the shipping containers. They had freshly wrapped their first-ever tour in 2018, which was in support of their debut EP, Shadow Paint. They join us in-studio for a live performance.

Before we talk about today's episode of the podcast, we want to say a huge thank you to our members in the Any Given Runday Run Club that continue to run and push each other each and every week on the group. This episode serves as an appreciation episode to you guys.

This past weekend was the 5k PB attempt for a lot of our running group members. Seán talks about his 5k PB attempt and how anything can happen on 'Any Given Race Day.'

The Seán and Eric then talk about the advice they have received from others in the running group as well as how they have progressed over the last few weeks and how great it was to see their journey and results over the weekend.

The lads talk about their struggles and being humbled doing Yoga sessions with Dani in the group, especially with the strength training element brought into the Yoga session this past week. Thanks, once again, to Dani for the last 4 weeks of Yoga training!

What's next? With the country opening up more now with gyms, pubs, hairdressers etc you may think it's time to wind down this social distancing running club? But with the community feel we have gotten over the past few weeks, we have decided to make things even bigger! Keep an eye on our social media pages for a plan to push towards a 10k PB very soon!

Thank you for listening to this week's episode of the Any Given Runday Podcast. If you are enjoying the episodes, we ask for a little favour in that could you leave a 5-star review on iTunes. This will help us get bigger and seen by more potential listeners of the show.

And thank you again to everyone that has put themselves out their in our running group and documented their stories.

Trigger Warning 
This episode Clare and Kev catch up with Jon. A year on from Berlin Marathon and a year on from Jon's breakdown. We speak openly about the experiences of negative mental health which some may find triggering. 

This week Kev and Clare catch up following a bit of a break form the pod, talk all things Run Things meet up at the New Forest, and re-cap with Luke and Sam two RTRC members who ran in the New Forest Marathon in club colours. 

Clare and Kev talk running in hot weather, training, and get a chance to chat to Paul (a run things supporter/normal bloke) about running clubs. 

"Running uptown isn't normal, especially our kind of social running.
You might see one middle-aged white person running along Riverside
Drive on a long run, but you never saw anyone running on Broadway,
Amsterdam, or Washington Avenue. So when people started seeing a big
group of us running, it’s very, very different from what they’re used
to." - Hector Espinal, WRU Crew

Growing up in NYC’s Washington Heights neighborhood, Hector Espinal never imagined he’d one day become a runner. “I've never played any sports. All the men in my family are really into sports but me, so I’ve always kind of been the black sheep,” Hec told us. And looking back, he and his friends felt like their neighborhood discouraged a healthy lifestyle, with fast food joints on every corner and few public spaces to play in.

To motivate himself to get fit five years ago, Hector Espinal would invite everyone he knew to join him on runs. Hec stuck with it week in and week out, and soon he had a group of regulars joining him. Today We Run Uptown, or WRU Crew, the run club Hec started, meets every week, even through the dead of winter. As many as 100 diverse runners gather at the same spot in Washington Heights on Mondays at 7:00 pm then take to the streets to hoots and hollers of support from folks in the neighborhood.

How did Hector build something so special? We sat down with him in Central Park to learn more.
