I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

I’m really excited to share this conversation with Noah Malone, a Paralympic champion, on the I’ll Have Another podcast today. Noah is a six-time Paralympic medalist, bringing home medals from both the Tokyo and Paris Games, including a gold in the men’s 100 meters T12 and a silver in the 400 meters T12 this year in Paris. He specializes in the 100, 200, and the 4×1 relay, but at the Paris Olympics, he competed in the 100 and 400. Noah is legally blind and was diagnosed at age 13 with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, a rare, incurable genetic disease that leads to central vision loss. In our conversation, he opens up about his journey—from competing in various sports as a child to adapting his approach to athletics as he lost his vision. Despite the challenges, Noah became the Indiana High School State Champion in the 200 meters in 2019, and he was also a key member of the 2019 Team USA Paralympic World Champion Relay Team. His story is truly inspiring, and you can learn more about him at noahmalone1.com. Noah has also written a book titled Losing Vision, Not Dreams: Reflections on My Teenage Years.

In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our series on parents and their athlete kids by diving into the topic of nutrition for young athletes.

With her experience as a former pro athlete and a master’s in clinical psychology, she’s all about helping current and former athletes sharpen their mental skills and mindset for success in every aspect of life. Her son, Joaquin, joined us on this episode. He is 16 years old and an avid mountain biker. He currently races enduro and is making the shift to downhill racing. It’s such a heartwarming conversation between mother and son, and I couldn’t help but think how proud I’d be if I were his mom.

I’m so excited to share this episode with Dakotah Lindwurm! After recording some post-Olympics interviews, I knew I had to bring Dakotah back on the show. This will be her fourth time joining us, and it’s always a blast having her on. She last came on the show right after making the Olympic team at the trials back in February (episode 512), and she’s also been on with Sara Vaughn after the 2023 Chicago Marathon (that was episode 494 if you want to check it out). We also had her on a few years ago after her back-to-back wins at Grandma’s Marathon (episode 398). It’s been incredible watching her journey and seeing how much she’s grown these past few years! In 2020, Dakotah finished 36th at the Olympic trials with a time of 2:39:08. Since then, she’s completely wowed us with her confidence, gritty training, and contagious positivity. If you’ve ever seen Dakotah race, you know she’s known for that big smile she flashes during her races, and it’s clearly a huge part of her success! Fast forward to the 2024 Olympic trials, where she placed third and then went on to the Paris Olympics, finishing 12th as the top American with an impressive time of 2:26:44 on a super tough course. And as if that wasn’t enough, Dakotah recently announced she’ll be running the New York City Marathon, which will be so exciting to watch after her Olympic run. She’s sponsored by Puma and she got engaged at the finish line in Paris during the Olympics! I also couldn’t resist asking her a bit about her Minnesota roots, which she’s always so proud of. I absolutely love Dakotah, and I know you all do too. I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation with the one and only Dakotah Lindwurm! What we talked about: 3:30- Catching up with Dakotah post Olympic Trials and Olympics 16:10- Smiling during races 20:00- Recapping her race and feelings post race 28:00- The decision to run NYC Marathon 34:00- The physicality in the Olympic marathon 35:00- What she learned racing at the Olympics 38:00- The Olympic experience outside of the race 41:40- Believing in herself Show notes: Dakotah on Instagram Dakotah on Episode 512 Dakotah on Episode 494 Dakotah on Episode 398 Connect with Lindsey:  Lindsey on Instagram Lindsey on Twitter Support our sponsors: Previnex Use the code “another” for 15% off  OR use code “LindseyStrength” for 15% off if you purchase their new Muscle Health Plus Training for a Half Marathon or Marathon?

I’m excited to release another episode of the parent-athlete series sponsored by Lily Trotters. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Monica Swanson and her son Luke Swanson. I had the pleasure of interviewing Monica on my parenting podcast last year. She’s a homeschooling mom of four boys living in Hawaii, and she’s raising some serious athletes! Three of her sons are already out of the house, but today we get to talk to her son, Luke, who is a professional surfer. Yes, a professional surfer! It was fascinating to hear both Monica’s perspective as a supportive mom and Luke’s insights into what it takes to train at such a high level from a young age. We also delved into what life is like now for them as they navigate Luke’s professional surfing career. I even asked Luke some Olympic-related questions, since I caught some of the surfing events in the Olympics and was curious about the ins and outs of the sport. Monica and Luke had some really interesting insights that I think you’ll enjoy. I love learning about sports outside of the running world, and I hope you find this episode as engaging as I did. Monica is one of my favorite people I’ve connected with through social media, and I always find her story inspiring, so it was so fun to catch up with her on this episode!

In this episode, I’m so excited to have Emily Mackay as my guest! Emily recently competed in the Paris Olympics, representing Team USA in the 1500 meters. It was such a thrill to watch her make the team—what a stacked field! Emily had to run an incredible 3:55 to secure her spot on the Olympic team alongside Nikki Hiltz and Elle Purrier-St.Pierre. It’s wild to think that just a few years ago, in the 2021 trials, Emily’s personal best in the 1500 was 4:17. Fast forward to 2024 she’s run so many PRs, including a 1:57 in the 800m. In our conversation, we dive into Emily’s incredible progression and what it took to get here. She also opens up about her Olympic experience, how she felt not making the final, and her reflections post-Olympics. Emily runs for Team New Balance Boston, coached by Mark Coogan, and if you haven’t been following them, you’re missing out—they’re one of the most exciting teams right now. And yes, we do talk about that hilarious Instagram video with Laura Green that made us love the team even more! This episode isn’t all about running, Emily shares what she’s reading, listening to, and her favorite spots in Boston. It’s a fun, well-rounded conversation that I think you’ll really enjoy. What we talked about: 6:00- Training with Team NB Boston 10:00- Believing in herself to make big jumps in improvement 23:00- Breaking down her race at the Olympics Trials 33:00- The confidence she’s gained from recent PRs 35:00- Her Olympic experience 52:10- End of podcast questions Show notes: Emily on Instagram Book recommendations: A Court of Thorns and Roses The Covenant of Water Connect with Lindsey:  Lindsey on Instagram Lindsey on Twitter Support our sponsors: Lagoon Use the code “Lindsey” for 15% off your order 2Before Use the code “Lindsey” for 30% of 20 packs plus free shipping Training for a Half Marathon or Marathon?
