Man Bun Run

For this episode I welcome back Skyler Fredrickson to discuss our year in running and what our plans are for the upcoming year.  Skyler takes a few moments to step into the interviewers chair and asks me some questions, and we share some running stories.

Robin Arzon is a beloved fixture of the running world and the fitness community.  After speaking with her, I completely understand why.  Her passion and love of running permeates everything she does, and it was so inspiring and fun talking with her.  Check her out on instagram @robinnyc and also go buy her book: "Shut Up & Run" online at Amazon. I promise, you'll love it.

I had the privilege of chatting with Carrie Tollefson, former Olympian and host of the Youtube and podcast show C Tolle Run.  What an absolute joy to speak with her about life.  We learned about how her husband proposed to her, what inspired her to go into being a media personality, and about her "Year of the Bun" amongst other things.  Enjoy the show and be sure to follow Carrie and her show, C Tolle Run, on social media!

For this episode I decided to mix it up a bit and speak with elite runners Amanda Basham and Zac Marion about how we can use an off season to better help our over all training.  It was a fun discussion with them about the science behind taking a rest and letting our bodies recover from the massive strain we put on all of them.  Enjoy!

Dorothy is truly an inspiring person in the running community.  Her love for life and all runners and helping others love themselves is truly awesome.  I was so grateful that I was able to chat with her about life and where running has taken her.  Enjoy!
