Hurdle

Plantar fasciitis. Achilles pain. Strains. Sprains. Foot problems are the absolute worst, which is why today I'm talking with Dr. Emily Splichal, a New York City Podiatrist, Human Movement Specialist, and CEO of Naboso technology. We’re chatting about all of your hot foot questions, from what to do about plantar fasciitis and how to treat it (and even prevent it), plus rapping about achilles pain, stress fractures, bruised toenails, and so much more. Have more foot questions? Hit me with a listener question and get it answered in an upcoming 5-MINUTE FRIDAY episode.

Today I’m talking with Nikki Hiltz, professional runner and recently named lululemon global ambassador! There’s so much to unpack with Nikki — their experience with ending a contract, which resulted in selling Track Club T-shirts, selecting their new sponsor and so much more. We dive into Nikki’s focus on having a sponsor that supports their next move - including the first ever in-person Pride 5K event. We also talk through Nikki’s experience with coming out as gay in 2016 and transgender in 2021, including the different reactions that came with both experiences. I so appreciated Nikki’s openness and perspective, one that will help so many stepping into their truest selves and trust their gut during even the toughest #hurdlemoments SOCIAL @nikkihiltz @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast OFFERS Goodr | Head to Goodr.com/Hurdle and use "HURDLE15" for 15% off LMNT | Head to drinkLMNT.com/hurdle to get a free sample pack of eight flavors with your purchase Open | Head to WithOpen.com/Hurdle for 30 days free JOIN: THE *Secret* FACEBOOK GROUP SIGN UP: Weekly Hurdle Newsletter ASK ME A QUESTION: Leave me a voice message, ask me a question, and it could be featured in an upcoming episode!

If there's anything that Tayshia Adams is familiar with, it's a hectic schedule. I'm catching up with the former Bachelorette today to chat about how she manages to find the time to prioritize her health and wellbeing. We talk about best-practice tips, from wardrobe to ~how~ you sweat, plus she sheds some light on what it was like for her to tackle her first marathon in 2021 as well as her excitement over her new ASICS campaign, Live Uplifted.

Season TEN, what is going on! Excited to welcome Ty Haney to the show to kick things off. In 2013, she was a 24-year-old Parsons School of Design grad living in New York, pitching investors on the idea for her approachable activewear idea called Outdoor Voices. Quickly, the brand caught on and became way more than just apparel. It became a lifestyle choice of #doingthings. After 7+ years of building, the Colorado native stepped down, but it wasn't long before she was back to her entrepreneurial  roots with Try Your Best, a first of its kind, Web3 community platform where brands and fans build and win together.  For episode 209, we're talking about it all: What it felt like to walk away from O.V., how movement is an imperative part to her creative process, and why we should ALL be thinking about Web 3. Plus: WHAT is Web 3 (in language that we can all understand), as well as the ins and outs of Joggy — a line of plant-based energetics aimed at offering that euphoric "runner's high" feeling on demand.

Welcome to RUNNING THROUGH, a 5-day series on Hurdle showcasing stories of women who used running to get through tough life #hurdlemoments. You guys know the deal: Here on the show, I’m dedicated to bringing Hurdlers content that encompasses all aspects of wellness. Still, running holds a special place in my heart. While I originally leaned into running as a weight loss tool back in college, it’s turned into a passion of mine, helping me get through some of my biggest hurdle moments and connect on a deeper level with so many. This week, in celebration of Global Running Day, we'll get vulnerable talking about tough topics like loss and grief, depression and postpartum depression, and how running and sport has helped them persevere, rediscover their self worth, and put on a brave face. For today’s episode I am chatting with Deirdre Keane. She became a low-key internet sensation after her life story was told on Humans of New York. Keane was 13 when her dad died, three years after being diagnosed with skin cancer. Years later with very little running experience, Keane signed up for two half marathons. Then came her first full marathon in honor of her father, which she finished in 3:52, and the rest is history. We talk about what running means to her, and her big exciting goal to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days.
