I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

I’m excited to share that my guest on today’s podcast is Emily Infeld. We all love Emily! She’s a regular here on the I’ll Have Another Podcast, and it’s always such a pleasure to have her back on. My favorite story about Emily goes way back to 2016, when I first started this podcast. I had this idea that maybe I could get some professional athletes to come on the show, and Emily was one of the very first pros to say yes.It’s been really cool to see how far both of us have come since then. As I’ve progressed in my podcasting journey, I’ve been able to cheer Emily on, watch her grow, and see all the incredible things she’s been doing in the sport. Not only has she achieved amazing things on the track, but she’s also become such a powerful advocate for mental health, which is something that resonates with so many people. Emily is one of the most real, authentic people I know in this sport, and I’m excited to share this conversation with you.For a little background, Emily is a 2015 World Silver Medalist in the 10,000 meters, and a 2018 Silver Medalist at the US Cross Country Championships. She’s represented Team USA six times, and she competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics. She was with Nike for a long time (over 12 years!!), and just recently announced that she’ll be joining the Brooks Running team.Emily is one of those people who is so easy to talk to—kind, genuine, and you feel that authenticity in every conversation with her. It really comes through in this interview. So, please enjoy my conversation with the wonderful Emily Infeld!What we talked about:3:15- Emily’s new partnership with Brooks5:05- Emily’s goals going forward12:55- Reflections on her Olympic Trials in 202419:50- Training with Team Boss23:00- Max’s 5k streak31:00- Emily’s new training setup41:30- Reflections on her time with Nike and Bowerman50:00- End of podcast chat!Show notes:Music:Panic at the DiscoFall Out BoysThe KillersBook recommendations:Throne of GlassCrescent CityOther times Emily has been on the show:Episode 147Episode 251Episode 409Connect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:PrevinexUse code “LindseySuperfoods” for 15% off if you purchase the Gut and Greens SuperfoodUse the code “another” for 15% off OR use code “LindseyStrength” for 15% off if you purchase their new Muscle Health PlusTake on Barilla’s Protein Pasta Winter Energy Challenge on the Strava Fitness AppComplete 10 days of movement for your Barilla Pasta reward!

Today on the podcast, I’m excited to share my conversation with American record holder Weini Kelati. She recently ran 66:09, breaking her own American record in the half marathon at the Houston Half Marathon, where she placed second. Weini is an absolute force in distance running, and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Can you even imagine what will happen when she finally lines up for her first marathon? There are so many exciting things ahead for her career.Weini was the 10,000 meter champion at the Olympic Trials last summer, and she went on to place eighth in the 10,000 at the Olympics. She’s an Under Armour athlete, coached and represented by Stephen Haas, and trains with the Dark Sky Distance group in Flagstaff. In 2014, when she was just 17 years old, Weini traveled from her home country of Eritrea to Eugene, Oregon, to compete in the 3,000 meters at the World Junior Championships. After the race, she made the decision to stay in the U.S. She found a place to live in Leesburg, Virginia, and went on to finish high school, all while running for her high school team, getting a job, and learning English—all completely independently at just 17. She then went on to run for the University of New Mexico, where she won the 2019 NCAA Cross-Country Championship.I have to say, this conversation is not long enough to cover Weini’s entire journey, but she’s been through a lot and has worked incredibly hard to get where she is today. I can’t wait for her to write a book one day because it’s going to be an amazing story. Anyway, I hope you’re as excited as I am to hear this conversation. Big thanks to Stephen Haas and his agency for making this happen. Enjoy the conversation!What we talked about:3:00- Breaking her own American Record in Houston10:35- Looking ahead to the half marathon championships14:00- Racing different distances and how fast of times are being run in women’s track right now17:55- Reflections on this past summer winning the Olympic Trials and making the Olympics22:10- Moving to the US33:00- Training with Under Armour42:00- Her family49:00- Favorite distances to race54:00- End of podcast questionsShow notes:Weini on InstagramThe Power of Positive ThinkingConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:Take on Barilla’s Protein Pasta Winter Energy Challenge on the Strava Fitness AppComplete 10 days of movement for your Barilla Pasta reward!

Today on the podcast, we’re excited to welcome back Dani Jones, a professional runner for New Balance. Dani has recently announced a significant change in her training: she’ll be joining the Very Nice Track Club, where she’ll be coached by Ron Warhurst and Sierra Willis. Before this move, Dani had been training with Team Boss and Coach Joe Bosshard since graduating from the University of Colorado, where she was a four-time NCAA champion. Dani reflects on her time with Team Boss and how incredible of a team environment they had there. In this episode, Dani shares her plans to experiment with different race distances. Last summer, she ran a personal best in the 1500 meters, running a time of 4:00 flat, and placed ninth at the U.S. Olympic Trials in both 2021 and 2024. Now at 28 years old, Dani is gearing up for the indoor season and looking forward to a new chapter in her career with this change in both her training environment and coaching team. With so much potential still ahead, Dani has a lot to be excited about.For those interested in hearing Dani’s first appearance on the podcast, our first conversation (episode 256!!) with Dani was back in 2020 when she had just turned pro and was navigating the strange times of the COVID era. It was great to catch up and hear about all the exciting changes in her career since then.Enjoy my conversation with Dani Jones!What we talked about:4:00- Leaving Team Boss and reflections on her four years there8:20- What it looked like searching for a new team and coach10:30- Moving to Michigan18:10- What she has learned from each of her coaches25:10- Reflecting on her decision to turn pro27:10- Her 2024 year in review46:00- What Dani is looking forward to going forward49:00- New training partners53:00- End of podcast questionsShow notes:Dani Jones when she was first on the podcast – Episode 256Olive KittredgeThe Nightengale The WomenEverything I Know About LovePaper TownsConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:LagoonUse the code “Lindsey” for 15% off your orderTake on Barilla’s Protein Pasta Winter Energy Challenge on the Strava Fitness AppComplete 10 days of movement for your Barilla Pasta reward!

We have a truly phenomenal athlete on the podcast today, Trevon Jenifer. Trevon is a three-time Paralympic gold medalist, a one-time Paralympic bronze medalist, and a world champion for Team USA. He plays wheelchair basketball and was born with congenital phocomelia, a rare condition in which a person is born without lower limbs. In this episode, Trevon shares what life was like growing up without lower limbs and how he discovered adaptive sports.Before excelling in wheelchair basketball, Trevon was a wrestler. He has represented Team USA for over 15 years. He’s also a proud father of two and works for the Secret Service.In our conversation, Trevon opens up about his passion for hard work, the immense sacrifices he’s made to reach his goals, and the crucial role that mindset plays in his success. I know you’ll take away so much from this inspiring conversation with him. It was truly an honor to interview Trevon for the podcast.On a personal note, I recently watched wheelchair basketball in the Paralympics, and it was absolutely incredible. It’s been so exciting to see how much more media attention and coverage the Paralympics are getting this year. Let’s keep that momentum going! With the Olympics and Paralympics coming to LA in 2028, there’s a huge opportunity to bring even more visibility to these sports. So let’s keep supporting and cheering on these amazing athletes.Please enjoy my conversation with Trevon Jenifer!What we talked about:5:15- Trevon’s backstory and being born without legs16:30- His path to the Paralympics and his training19:00- Watching his kids become athletes28:45- Recapping his career so far and winning medals37:20- Growth of the media attention on the Paralympics42:50- Teaching our kids about differences48:25- His motivational speaking engagements45:10- His career57:40- End of podcast questionsShow notes:Trevon on InstagramBooks:A Court of Thorns and RosesSpy the LieShows:LionessThe AgencyMovies:The BodyguardConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:PrevinexUse code “LindseySuperfoods” for 15% off if you purchase the Gut and Greens SuperfoodUse the code “another” for 15% off OR use code “LindseyStrength” for 15% off if you purchase their new Muscle Health PlusDonna MarathonJoin me the weekend of January 31st-February 2nd, 2025 for the Donna Marathon weekend!

We’ve got a great episode today with Katie Izzo. I first met Katie at the 2023 Monumental Marathon in Indianapolis. I had the opportunity to be part of a panel with her and a few other pro athletes at the expo, and later, I got to announce her victory in the half marathon there – which was her debut half marathon. That was back in 2023, and since then, she’s been running super well. Just recently, she ran another personal best in the half marathon in Orlando, dropping 16 seconds for a new PR of 70 minutes and 27 seconds. Katie has an impressive resume. She’s represented Team USA in cross country at the World Cross Country Championships, and she also recently placed third at the Sound Running Cross Country Championships. This summer she competed in her second Olympic Trials, where she placed 13th in the 10,000 meters. While that wasn’t the place she had hoped for, she’ll share more about her journey to the start line and the lessons she’s learned from that experience. Katie also competed in the 2020 (well, technically 2021) Olympic Trials, representing Arkansas, where she had an incredible college career. She placed third at the NCAA Cross Country Championships and helped lead her team to an NCAA championship title in cross country. Katie also spent time competing for Cal Poly during her undergrad, and now she runs for Adidas, calling Flagstaff home as her training base.I hope you enjoy my conversation with Katie!What we talked about: 4:45- Her training team, running for Adidas, and moving to Flagstaff9:15- Her college career20:10- The decision to run professionally22:45- Her two Olympic Trials experiences32:15- Her half marathon debut38:45- Making Team USA for cross country41:15- Plans to run a marathon32:55- Injuries that she battled this year leading into the Olympic Trials46:30- What’s next for Katie – Houston Half55:00- Religious/spiritual beliefs and mainfestation1:05:20- End of podcast questionsMedia Suggestions:Ted Lasso Shrinking The Expanded Podcast The Secret- Rhonda Byrn The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success – Deepak Chopra The Power of Now – Eckhart Tolle Becoming Supernatural – Dr. Joe Dispenza Choose Strong – Sally McRaeArtists Recommended:The Band PerryKeith UrbanVance JoyEric ChurchEli Young BandLuke BryanPost MaloneJelly RollMorgan WallenConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:PrevinexUse code “LindseySuperfoods” for 15% off if you purchase the Gut and Greens SuperfoodUse the code “another” for 15% off OR use code “LindseyStrength” for 15% off if you purchase their new Muscle Health PlusTake on Barilla’s Protein Pasta Winter Energy Challenge on the Strava Fitness AppComplete 10 days of movement for your Barilla Pasta reward!

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re continuing with a special series where we step outside the world of running and hear from athletes in other sports. Normally, you tune in for interviews with professional and everyday runners, but today, we’re joined by mountain biker and Olympian, Savilia Blunk. Savilia is an eight-time national champion and recently competed in the Paris Olympics, where she placed 12th.During our conversation, we discuss what it’s like to reach the pinnacle of the sport—making the Olympic team—and what it feels like to walk away from a race with both triumphs and disappointments. Savilia opens up about how she’s moving forward in her training after the Olympics and how she’s approaching her next steps as an elite athlete.What I love most about this series is the opportunity to view the world of sport through the eyes of athletes who excel in disciplines outside of running. There’s so much we can learn from them, particularly when it comes to developing a champion’s mindset. Whether they’re on a bike, in a rowing boat, scaling a rock wall, or spiking a volleyball, these athletes are tackling their own challenges and bringing invaluable insights to the table.We’ve had the privilege of speaking with some incredible athletes in this series, and I encourage you to check out the other interviews, which will be linked in the show notes. Even though we’re talking about different sports, there’s a lot of crossover, especially in the mental aspects of training, and I think you’ll find the episodes just as engaging as this one.For me personally, as a parent, these conversations are a great opportunity to reflect on how I can encourage my own kids to be hard workers and to take pride in all the things they care about. As I mention in this episode, it’s a delicate balance—teaching kids to push themselves, work hard, and strive for excellence, while also allowing them the freedom to explore and enjoy what they do. Moving our bodies should be fun, and hard work can be, too.If you’re enjoying this series, or know someone who might appreciate hearing from athletes outside of the running world, please share the episode with them. The best way to support the podcast is by leaving a rating or review on iTunes or wherever you listen.

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my favorite people in the running World—Kara Goucher and Des Linden. That’s right, these two incredible women are not only co-hosts of the podcast Nobody Asked Us, but they’re also beloved athletes in the running world. Both have been on this show multiple times, and it’s always such a pleasure to chat with them. Kara, who used to host The Relay podcast with me (a short-lived but super fun time, we all miss her over there!!), and of course, Des—who we all know for her unforgettable 2018 Boston Marathon win. But what I think stands out most about Des is her remarkable consistency over the years and the way she’s always shown up, not just for herself but for the running community. “Keep showing up” is her motto, and so many in the running world have adopted that phrase!Both Kara and Des are also authors. They are both authors—Kara’s Running for Women and Des’ Choosing to Run—and it’s been so fun watching their friendship blossom over the past year, especially as they teamed up to launch their podcast. We talk a bit about the evolution of their relationship and podcast in this episode. Kara is a two-time Olympic and World Championship silver medalist, and one of the most authentic and honest people I’ve ever met. Her voice and perspective, along with Des’, make their podcast so special.What excites me most about Nobody Asked Us is how it has the potential to take our sport of running beyond our little bubble. Both Kara and Des have such a wide-reaching platform, and their podcast is a great way to bring new people into the sport and spark more interest in running, which is ultimately so beneficial for all of us.I’m cheering them on as they continue to grow and succeed in both their podcasting journey and beyond. I hope this intro did them justice, though most of you listening probably already know these two, so they don’t need much of an introduction! That said, I’ll include links to prior episodes with Kara and Des in these show notes if you want to dive into those past conversations.Okay, enough from me—please enjoy this conversation with Kara and Des!What we talked  about:4:00- Nobody Asked Us8:30- First impressions of each other19:15- Misconceptions about each other and how the podcast has changed that25:00- Covering controversial topics36:10- Favorite running moments in 202445:20- Running moments we’re looking forward to in 202553:35- End of podcast chat1:07:07- What is coming up for Des and Kara and Nobody Asked UsShow notes:Kara on the I’ll Have Another Podcast previously:Episode 173Episode 528Des on the I’ll Have Another Podcast previously:Episode 148Episode 171Episode 240Episode 534Songs:HomeTown Hero – JR CarolStick Season – Noah KahanDirrty – Christina AguileraBad Guy – EminemPlease, Please, Please – Sabrina CarpenterAll She Wants to Do is Dance – Don HenleyI Know – De La SoulA Little Respect – ErasurePodcasts:Pretendians – Canadaland Investigates PodcastNobody Should Believe Me PodcastArmchair ExpertConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:Donna MarathonJoin me the weekend of January 31st-February 2nd, 2025 for the Donna Marathon weekend!

Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Molly Grabill, who just had a massive breakthrough with a personal best of 2:26:46 at the Valencia Marathon. It was a big day for her, and in this episode, she opens up about not just the time she ran, but the sense of satisfaction she felt crossing the finish line strong. Marathons are tough, and many of us can relate to the challenge of that final 10K. For Molly, it was the culmination of getting the right nutrition, strength training, and preparation all aligned for the perfect race.If you’re not already familiar with Molly’s story, she’s been on the podcast before—Episode 356 back in 2022—after her second-place finish at the CIM Marathon with a time of 2:29:17. Over the years, Molly has built a reputation as one of the top marathoners in the U.S. She ran for the University of Oregon, where she became a five-time All-American, and has competed in the 2020 U.S. Marathon Trials in Atlanta (placing 25th) and again in the 2024 Trials in Orlando (where she placed 13th).Molly currently lives in Boulder and trains under coach Rick Rojas, who is the father of fellow elite runner Nell Rojas. She’s also a full-time professional, balancing a busy career with her intense training. In this episode, we also talk about her love of reading and the ways she keeps her mind sharp off the track. It was great to catch up with Molly, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did recording it!What we talked about:3:30- Recapping Valencia Marathon5:45- Goals going into the race7:40- How the race played out for Molly13:30- Looking at Molly’s marathon career as a whole14:00- How she avoids the comparsion trap in running16:45- Her training build leading into Valencia20:30- Her boyfriend, Morgan’s recent success in the triathlon23:15- Her coaching situation 27:50- Reflecting on her Olympic Marathon trials result39:55- What’s next for Molly44:30- End of podcast questionsShow notes:Media recommendations:A Court of Thorns and Roses Box SetFourth WingTwilightHarry Potter SeriesThrone of Glass It Ends with UsBelow DeckConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:PrevinexUse code “LindseySuperfoods” for 15% off if you purchase the Gut and Greens SuperfoodUse the code “another” for 15% off OR use code “LindseyStrength” for 15% off if you purchase their new Muscle Health PlusLagoonUse the code “Lindsey” for 15% off your orderCornbreadUse the code “Another” at checkout for 30% off your order
