I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

I’m thrilled to welcome back the amazing Malindi Elmore to the podcast! This is her third time joining us, and she continues to inspire as a three-time Olympian representing Team Canada. Malindi made her Olympic debut in 2004 in the 1500 meters and has since transitioned into marathon running, competing in both the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. Beyond her impressive athletic achievements, Malindi is also a dedicated coach and a mother of two. She has raised over $24,000 for Kids Sport, an initiative that provides grants to help cover registration fees so that all kids aged 18 and under can enjoy a season of their favorite sport in Canada. Her motivation to train hard for the Olympic marathon was fueled by this meaningful cause. Some of Malindi’s remarkable career highlights include finishing ninth in the Olympic marathon in Tokyo, holding the Canadian marathon record, and being a seven-time Canadian champion. She’s also a past Stanford University record holder, a six-time All-American, and a bronze medalist in the World Cross Country Team Championships, Pan American Games, and World University Games. With a personal best marathon time of 2:24, Malindi has an impressive range of accomplishments. In addition to her success in track and road racing, she also competed competitively in triathlon, debuting in Ironman with an impressive time of under nine hours. Malindi made history as the oldest finisher in the Olympic marathon at 44 years old, and she shows no signs of slowing down! If you enjoy this episode, please share it with your friends!

I’m super excited to kick off a new series on the podcast! We’ve already aired the first half of our coaching series this fall, but now we’re shifting gears to highlight athletes from sports outside the running community. We’ll return to some more coaching episodes later, but for now, we’re so excited about this series!! Today, I have the honor of speaking with two-time Olympic gold medalist Kristen Faulkner. If you’ve been following cycling this year, you know her name. She made headlines by winning gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, marking Team USA’s first women’s road race medal in 40 years! Plus, she became the first US woman to win Olympic gold in two different disciplines at the same Olympics—what an achievement! Kristen’s journey is fascinating. She grew up in Alaska, attended Harvard, and then worked as a venture capitalist in New York City. Her entry into cycling was in 2017 when she attended a free introductory cycling clinic for women. In our conversation, we dive into her mindset, her path to making her first Olympic team, and what it felt like to earn those two gold medals. Kristen is also incredibly passionate about women’s equality in sports, and we touch on that important topic as well. I learned so much from Kristen during our chat, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! If you enjoy the episode, please share it with your friends on social media. I think these discussions will resonate not just with runners but with anyone interested in the world of sports. Enjoy my conversation with Kristen Faulkner!

Today on the podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome back Olympian Clayton Young. In today’s episode, we dive into Clayton’s incredible experience at the Paris Olympics, where he placed ninth with a time of 2:08.44. He shares the behind-the-scenes of his race, what was going through his mind, and the emotions that came with such a monumental event. I really appreciate how he gives a nod to those who paved the way in our sport, highlighting the community and history of running. Clayton and I also discuss the current state of American marathoning and the potential for breaking the men’s record, which has stood since 2002! It’s an exciting time in the sport, and I have a feeling we’re on the brink of some big changes.

In today’s episode, I’m excited to welcome back Kara Winger, a four time Olympian in the javelin. This summer, she competed in her fifth Olympic trials, and it was quite the journey for her. Despite placing in the top three at the trials, she didn’t qualify for the Paris Olympics because she hadn’t yet met the Olympic standard. Kara shares her thought process behind deciding to aim for the standard during the trials rather than trying to qualify beforehand. She also shares about her decision to come out of retirement this summer to try to qualify for her fifth Olympics. I’ve always enjoyed interviewing field athletes in track and field, as they often don’t get the spotlight they deserve, and Kara is one of my favorites. She’s at an exciting crossroads in her career, and I can’t wait for you to hear about all that she is looking forward to ahead. Also, a fun tidbit—Kara had the honor of being a flag bearer for Team USA during the closing ceremonies at the Tokyo Olympics, which is just amazing. Make sure to check her out on Instagram at @Karathrowsjav for more of her journey! What we talked about: 3:30- How this retirement is feeling different than the last one 17:00- Her experience at the Olympic Trials 20:45- How to handle heartbreak in sport 23:10- Her decision to not chase the standard and have to throw it at the trials 33:35- Coaching 39:30- The growth of javelin as a sport 42:40- Allowing yourself to change your mind 51:40- End of podcast questions Show notes: Cast, Catch, Release by Marina Gibson Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow Connect with Lindsey:  Lindsey on Instagram Lindsey on Twitter Support our sponsors: Check out the new Brooks Glycerin Max at BrooksRunning.com Cornbread Use the code “Another” at checkout for 30% off your order 2Before Use the code “Lindsey” for 30% of 20 packs plus free shipping

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Susanna Sullivan, who recently finished seventh in the Chicago Marathon with an impressive time of 2:21:56, marking a personal record of two minutes and 31 seconds. This achievement places her as the 10th fastest American woman in history at this distance. Susanna is also a dedicated sixth-grade math teacher and Brooks-sponsored athlete. This past year has been quite a journey for Susanna. She represented Team USA for the first time at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, where she finished the marathon with a broken kneecap. This setback led to a long recovery period, preventing her from competing in the Olympic Trials earlier this year. On top of that, she also tested positive for COVID during her comeback. However, she did run at the Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters this summer. Leading up to the Chicago Marathon, Susanna had some solid races, nearly setting a personal best in the half marathon. Susanna’s commitment to both her teaching career and marathon training is truly inspiring. Plus, she recently got married, adding even more excitement to her life. There’s so much to explore in this episode, and I can’t wait for you to hear from her!

Galen Rupp is one of the greatest American Distance Runners of all time. He won a Silver Medal in the 10,000 in the Rio 2016 Olympics and a Bronze Medal in the Marathon in the Tokoyo 2020 Olympics. He is also the 2017 champion of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. He’ll be on the motorcade this year on the broadcast which will be super fun. Though he’s jumping into that side of the sport, he is still all in for LA 2028. Galen has been known for keeping the training and life close to the vest and shows up at races to tell the story. Needless to say I was really excited to find out I would have the honor to interview him at the Abbott Health & Fitness Expo during the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Weekend. Galen is the father of four kids and over the past 20 years has proven time and time again that he is one of the very best. I loved exploring all of this with him on stage at the expo and hope that you will take some great advice and insight from Galen. Thank you so much for being here!!

Deena is an all time favorite over here on I’ll Have Another Podcast and I was excited to have the opportunity for a quick interview with her live at the Abbott Health & Fitness Expo during this incredible weekend in Chicago! Deena has held a multitude of American Records over the years but one that we never stop talking about is that American Record in the marathon that she held for 19 years! She is also an Olympic Bronze medalist in the marathon from Athens in 2004. A few years ago she wrote the book “Let Your Mind Run” and that book really changed the way we all thought about how we can use our minds to be strong athletes. I know you’re all gonna take something special from this conversation! Enjoy! Best of luck if you are running Chicago this weekend!!! Support I’ll Have Another Podcast: Patreon.com/LindseyHein
