I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

Abby Nichols was in town in Raleigh for the Sir Walter Mile so we had the opportunity to do an in person interview! She was the reigning champion of the Sir Walter Mile and she agreed to just come on over and sit in my living room and record, which was so fun. Abby runs with Hoka NAZ Elite and she is a 1500 meter and 5000 meter runner. She has a personal best in the 1500m of 4:07. Her mile PR, which was run at the Sir Walter Mile is 4:26 and she has a 15:03 PR in the 5000m and 32:27 PR in the 10,000m.Abby grew up in Ohio, ran for Ohio State, and then went on to run for the University of Colorado. Unexpectedly, we took a turn and talked about her time at University of Colorado, and she weighed in on her thoughts on Mark Wetmore and Heather Burroughs and how they won’t be coming back to coach the team this coming year. Abby competed at the Olympic trials in the 5,000m and had a bit of a disappointment there. She talks about that and what that’s been like to bounce back from that and continue to race well this summer.I loved chatting with Abby and am so excited to see what she does during the rest of her career!Show notes:Abby on InstagramConnect with Lindsey: Lindsey on InstagramLindsey on TwitterSupport our sponsors:LagoonUse the code “Lindsey” for 15% off your order

It’s called Bravey (Adapted for Young Readers), forwarded by Maya Hawk. She co-wrote, co-directed and starred in the feature films Track Town and Olympic Dreams and has worked alongside the likes of Rachel Dratch and Nick Kroll. Since this was her first time on my podcast, we talked about what she’s up to now. She’s got a new podcast coming out called Mentor Buffet and we dove into what that’s all about and her inspiration behind it.

Heather MacLean is a returning guest on the show and she was in Raleigh, North Carolina (where I live) for the Sir Walter Mile this week. So we got to record this interview in person, which is always exciting!!Heather runs with Team New Balance Boston. She ran in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 in the 1500. This year at the Olympic trials, she placed seventh in a record-breaking year. It took crazy records to make that 1500-meter team for Team USA. And although Heather placed seventh, she still ran a personal best time of 3:58. This result comes after a year full of injuries last year. She is coming off a stress fracture where she had to take six months off of training leading into the Olympic year. So it’s safe to say she is coming back and coming back strong. I am SO excited to see what she accomplishes over the next few years!Heather has been on the podcast before, she was episode 337 when she came on right after she made her first Olympic team in 2021. So wow, it’s already been three years since she’s been on the podcast!!

She PR’d in both the semi final and the final at the trials running a time of 49.46 in the final.

Is there anything better than watching someone become an Olympian?! Marisa Howard ran the race of her life at the Olympic Trials Steeplechase final last week. She ran 9:07 which was a 15 second PR for the Steeple veteran and first time mom. She placed third running a strong race from start to finish and if you haven’t seen the video yet of her family freaking out at the finish make sure you google that!Marisa lives and trains in Boise, ID and ran for Boise State. She ran the trials supported by Tracksmith which was not a traditional sponsorship but a great support for the Olympic Trials for so many athletes like Marisa.

Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Briana Boehmer. I had the incredible opportunity to interview Bri in Boston, she was part of a live panel that I hosted. She ran her first marathon at the age of 42 in a time of 2:33. That was her first standalone marathon. She has done several Ironmans. She has a 9:22 Ironman PR and a 4:21 Half Ironman PR. She has completed the Kona Ironman multiple times. She ran for CU in college and after pursuing professional running and realizing maybe that wasn’t gonna happen for her, she took a break from that and then ended up getting into Ironman. But in 2021 at the age of 42, she thought, I’m going to see what I can do in the marathon. She ran CIM, and set the master’s course record running that 2:33. She now runs for Oiselle.Outside of running, she is passionate about mentoring and coaching. She is in the startup world, and she also teaches entrepreneurship courses. She serves as the COO of a forward-thinking local company and teaches entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Boulder. She also serves on the board of directors for Startup Colorado. And she’s the co-founder of Goodie Bag Eats. It is the coolest way to make sure food at restaurants gets eaten and not wasted.
