Maybe you've talked about fearing failure before, but have you ever thought about a fear of success? Today I'm sitting down with Tammie Bennett, a creative entrepreneur and mindset coach, to chat about what happens when you get everything you want — and why you may be self sabotaging. The fear of success, Bennett says, is the concern that once we achieve something new, we may suffer because of it or we'll be incapable of sustaining it. Most of the time, we're not consciously aware of this fear. That's because when we focus on a goal, we talk up the positive outcomes of achieving the goal. Tammie talks us through how to overcome the fear, plus - the flip side: How to navigate failure and why failure is actually an essential (and unavoidable) part of accomplishing your big goals.

Alison calls herself a disruptor, and that descriptor would be putting it lightly. The author of Running While Black isn't holding back in her new expose, and she's on the show today to share some of her experiences. For episode 225, Alison opens up about being in a dark place before picking up running, using drugs and trying to numb the pain of her depression, and how sport reminded her of what it was like to feel again. Alison also talks about starting a running movement in harlem, Harlem Run, with the goal to make running more inclusive and welcoming to people of color. She shares what it felt like to be at the forefront of media attention for her efforts, despite knowing that so many people that looked like her felt othered in the space, and we also talk about how it feels for her to be a Black woman raising a Black son in the wake up Ahmaud Arbury’s murder. She also speaks on the establishment of the Running Industry Diversity Coalition, and where she hopes this conversation will go moving forward.

Sharing the mic for this week's 5-MINUTE FRIDAY with my friend Ashley, who KICKED BUTT at the London Marathon with a Boston Marathon qualifying time! She asks me all sorts of random questions, from my go-to final meal and my favorite workout song to how I choose my sneakers (and so much more). Lots of laughs.

I came. I ran. I conquered. I went into this race convinced I'd end up in the med tent, and finishing is something I'll forever be proud of. Not just because of the mental grit that it took, but because of the emotional and mental growth it exhibited. Today, I'm giving you the full rundown.

Taylor Townsend was once asked to take time off from playing tennis competitively by the USTA to go "work on her health" (despite being the No. 1 junior tennis player in the world). Fast forward, today she's a new mom and recently played in the doubles final at the US Open. For episode 223, I'm talking to Taylor all about body acceptance and how she stands as a role model to women everywhere. We also chat about what it was like coming back to sport after pregnancy, the badass catsuit she dawned in her recent matches, and what she's looking forward to next.  SOCIAL @tay_taytownsend @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast OFFERS AG1 from Athletic Greens | Head to AthleticGreens.com/Hurdle to get 5 free travel packs and a year's supply of vitamin D!

I spent the last three months going to Motiv, a physical therapy studio, on Wednesday mornings. With the London Marathon on Sunday, I'm bringing my physcial therapist, Luke Greenberg — co-founder of MOTIV — on the show to talk about what the experience was like for me. Super grateful for the five big lessons I learned throughot this experience, which we recap in this episode. From the importance of body awareness and commitment to "homework," to what Luke learned from working with me, this is an important listen for anyone in pursuit of a goal (especially, when dealing with some wonkiness of their own).
