I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

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!

Welcome to another episode of the coaching series on I’ll Have Another Podcast. This series is supported by V.02, the coaching platform that I use and that my guest today, Stef Flippin, also utilizes. Stef is one of my favorite people in the running community. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with her on the Relay Podcast, and she also co-hosts the podcast Making Strides with Carolyn Su. Stef is an incredibly accomplished athlete, having won the 2021 USATF 100 Mile National Championship as well as the Tunnel Hill 100 Mile Championship in both 2020 and 2021. Beyond her impressive running achievements, she’s also a writer and a medical doctor by trade, although she has since transitioned from that profession to focus on her running, coaching, writing, and podcasting. She truly does it all! What stands out about Stef is her thoroughness; when you ask her a question, she responds with deep, meaningful insights. This thoughtful approach extends to her coaching as well. You can find her on Instagram at @stephanieflippin and check out her website at stefflippin.com.

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!!
