Rachel Drake is joining me on the podcast today! Rachel is a Nike Trail runner! She recently won the Black Canyon 100k which landed her a Golden Ticket to Western States! Western States will be her first 100 mile race! Rachel is the mom of one and is married to Tyler Green, who was on the podcast back after her palced 2nd at Western STates a few years ago. Rachel is also a medical doctor about to start her residency this summer so we hear all about how she balances parenting, running and school. Wow – I am impressed!! Rachel qualified for the Olympic Marathon trials at CIM in December when she race a 2:35 marathon. She opted not to run the trials, which was the plan all along as it was her training for the Black Canyon race. She did run in the 2020 Olympic Trials after running the standard in 2:40:17. Rachel has had success in the past training for a marathon in her buildup to her ultra. I loved getting to know Rachel.

Today on the podcast Tommie Runz joins me!! I’ve had so much fun getting to know Tommie more as one of the co-hosts of the Relay Podcast. Tommie is about to complete 4 marathons in two months – Osaka, Tokyo, Boston and London which will set him up to have finished all 6 of the World Marathon Majors. This specific time is special to Tommie as he will surpass the age his own Father was when he passed away at 39 years old due to a stroke. Tommie was only 8 years old when he lost his Dad and this moment in time has been something he’s thought about almost his entire life. In this podcast we go deep into what it means to him and what life has been life for him without getting to have a relationship with his Dad. We go deep into sobriety, cleaning his life up and how having a daughter saved his life. Over the years Tommie has established and solidified a community of individuals who share the same passion in running, mindfulness, and self-improvement. He created and founded Chip Time Running to disrupt the current status quo in the running industry; began a podcast “The Run Eat Sleep Show”; and launched the PR Project on YouTube where he sits as co-host. In April 2021, he qualified for the Boston Marathon with a chip time of 2:48:43. As a runner, Tommie continues to chase his goals and aspires to actively improve his times in the 5k through marathon. In doing so, he hopes to increase Black visibility in a predominantly White running space. He now olds a PR of 2:46 and has big dreams to take that down in the future- maybe this fall??

So excited for ANOTHER Olympic Marathon Trials recap episode with one of my favorites, Sara Hall! Sara is an incredible athlete and human being. She was actually one of the very first guests that I ever had on the podcast. She was all the back on episode 7, 8 years ago!! Sara just placed fifth at the Olympic Marathon Trials a few weeks ago. This was her 8th Olympic Trials. Isn’t that wild?! 20 years ago she ran in her first Olympic Trials in 2004 in the 5000m. Here’s her Olympic Trials progression: in 2004 she ran the 5000m, in 2008 she ran the 1500m, in 2012 she ran the steeplechase, in 2016 she ran both the marathon trials and the 5000m, in 2020 she ran both the 10,000m and the marathon trials, and then this year she ran the marathon trials. Sara is one of the hardest working humans on the planet! We all knew that Sara was going to go for it and put every ounce of effort into making that team. That’s why that 5th place finish is so heartbreaking for her and she says that this one hurts the worst in all of the trials that she has competed in. But I love that Sara is always willing to wear her heart on her sleeve and share the ups and the downs. She has had SO much success in her career with national championships, a second place finish at the London Marathon, and third place at the Chicago Marathon. She has also had a lot of heartbreak in the sport but she keeps getting back up and trying and getting after it! She ran a 2:26:06 at this past race which is a new masters American Record! I love her answer when I ask her about running this record! Sara is sponsored by Asics, married to Ryan Hall, and the mom of four!
