Hurdle with Emily Abbate

This episode's going live a few days after a long weekend trip for me, full of gluttony and extravagant meals. I connected with nutritionist and chef Serena Poon to talk about what it really means to "detox" and how we can take care of our bodies after a less-than-nutritious week of indulging. We talk about the importance of grace and a positive inner dialogue, why not to get hung up on a few iffy days of eating, and then she comments on good-for-you habits that can help flip the script and enable you to feel better in your body.

As I type these show notes, I'm just an hour removed from learning about the 26-year-old woman who was shot during her run last night in Tennessee. My heart aches for so many whom, regardless of gender identity, fear for their safety when they go outside and do the thing that once made them feel free. For today's episode, I'm chatting with my dear friend and Adidas Runners Performance Coach and Girls Run NYC founder Jessie Zapo about how we can do better, what allyship looks like for the running community, and our history with harassment on the run.  SOCIAL @jessiezapo @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast @banditrunning OFFERS BANDIT | Head to BanditRunning.com/ and use code "HURDLE15" to get 15% off your purchase ASK ME A QUESTION: Leave me a voice message, ask me a question, and it could be featured in an upcoming episode!
