I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

I’m really excited to bring you today’s conversation with Emma Grace Hurley, who just had an incredible debut in the half marathon at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. Emma Grace finished her debut race in a time of 68:26, which is a 5:14 per mile pace (WOW!). She also set the course record for the half marathon at Indy Monumental. She’s part of the Heartland Track Club, which, as a former Indy resident, I’m totally obsessed with—especially knowing how great the running scene is in Indianapolis. I can’t help but geek out about Indy in this episode, so please bear with me. It makes me so happy to see such an awesome team in the city, led by Andrew Begley and Amy Yoder Begley. Emma Grace has had a remarkable year. She’s practically run the entire USATF circuit across multiple distances and has had such great results at so many of them. Just a week before her half marathon debut, she placed third at the USATF 5K Championships in New York. She also placed third at the 10K championships and the 6K championships this year. On top of all that, she represented the United States for the first time at the World Cross Country Championships. Though we didn’t dive into that experience in this episode, I want to direct you to The Relay Podcast, where Mike Ko and I interviewed Emma Grace right after her World Cross race. That episode aired on April 5th, so be sure to check it out in the feed if you’re interested in hearing more about her international debut. What we talked about: 5:15- The decision to race the half marathon 8:30- Recapping her race 22:00- Her mentality during the race 25:00- The Heartland Track Club team 28:00- What’s next in training 44:15- End of podcast questions Show notes: Emma on Instagram Media recommendations: The Perfect Couple The Five Star Weekend The White Lotus Connect with Lindsey:  Lindsey on Instagram Lindsey on Twitter Support our sponsors: Lagoon Use the code “Lindsey” for 15% off your order Previnex Use the code “another” for 15% off  OR use code “LindseyStrength” for 15% off if you purchase their new Muscle Health Plus

In this exciting episode, we dive into the world of beach volleyball with Olympian and Team Canada athlete, Sophie Bukovec. Sophie represented Canada at the Paris Olympics this summer, and we get to hear all about her incredible journey to that stage. She’s been a very competitive athlete since the age of 14. Sophie has built a remarkable career in volleyball, playing for three different universities before ultimately finishing at the University of Southern California (USC). There, she became a three-time national champion and a three-time All-American. We also touch on her silver medal win at the 2022 World Championships in Rome. In this episode, Sophie breaks down what it’s like to compete at the highest levels of beach volleyball, including the unique aspects of the sport, training regimens, and how athletes select their partners. She also shares what life looks like as a professional volleyball player, how she balances competition with her role as founder and executive director of a volleyball academy, and offers advice for young kids considering the sport. We also explore the mindset needed for success in volleyball, as well as Sophie’s unforgettable first Olympic experience in Paris. You can connect with Sophie on Instagram @sophiebukovec and let her know what you thought of this episode. Enjoy my conversation with Sophie Bukovec!

My guest today is Katie Schide, one of the top ultra runners in the world. In 2024, she made history by winning both the Western States 100 and UTMB, securing a rare double and setting a new course record at UTMB by over 20 minutes. Her victory at Western States marked a major breakthrough after finishing second at the same race in 2023, and her second win at UTMB (she first won in 2022) further solidified her place among the elite in the sport. Her consistent high-level performances also include a sixth-place finish at UTMB in 2019. We dive into Katie’s training and life as a professional ultra runner. She lives in a remote part of France with her partner, where she enjoys the solitude and beauty of the mountains. Much of her training involves running, skiing, and biking, with a unique emphasis on ski mountaineering (or “ski-mo”), a form which serves as a demanding cross-training tool that she implements into her training during the winter months. It’s fascinating to hear how a top athlete integrates skiing into her routine, maintaining peak fitness during the off-season. Katie also holds a PhD in geology and shares how her academic background influences her approach to life and training. Beyond her impressive racing resume, which includes podium finishes at nearly every major ultra, she has set her sights on future challenges, including the iconic Hardrock 100. Sponsored by The North Face, Katie is an athlete you won’t want to miss following. You can connect with her on Instagram at @katieschide for more updates on her career and adventures in the mountains. What we talked about: 9:00- Living and training in a remote area 14:25- Including skiing in her training and what winter training looks like 24:30- The past two years of Western States performances 33:45- Winning UTMB and winning Western States in one year 39:50- Her coach and what she attributes her running successes to 52:05- The rise of women in the sport of trail and ultra running 53:00- Breaking the course record at UTMB 1:02:20- End of podcast questions Show notes: Katie on Instagram themarmots.run Bengal Spice Celestial Seasoning Tea A Court of Thorns and Roses series Connect with Lindsey:  Lindsey on Instagram Lindsey on Twitter Support our sponsors: Lagoon Use the code “Lindsey” for 15% off your order 2Before Use the code “Lindsey” for 30% of 20 packs plus free shipping

Welcome to another exciting episode in our series featuring athletes from various sports! Today, I’m thrilled to have Jennifer Lozano on the podcast. At just 21 years old, Jennifer made her Olympic debut for Team USA in boxing at the Paris Olympics, where she placed ninth. Growing up in the border town of Laredo, Texas, Jennifer started her boxing journey at the age of nine. She qualified for the Olympic Games by winning a silver medal at the Pan American Games in Santiago in 2023. Notably, she is the first person from Laredo, Texas, to ever qualify for the Olympics, marking a significant milestone for her community. In this episode, Jennifer shares her incredible journey in the sport—how she got to where she is today, what her training and lifestyle looked like leading up to the Olympics, and the immense effort and self-belief that fueled her success. She also opens up about the obstacles she faced along the way. I came into this conversation knowing very little about boxing and the pathways to the top, and I really enjoyed learning more about it from Jennifer. Jennifer has a deep commitment to giving back to her hometown, Laredo, Texas, and she shares her dreams for bringing opportunities to her community.

In today’s episode, I’m excited to be joined by Kendall Chase, a US Olympian in rowing and current assistant coach for MIT’s rowing team. We dive into Kendall’s journey from growing up in Colorado to representing the United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics in rowing, becoming an elite cyclist, and later transitioning into coaching. Kendall shares the ups and downs of her career, including a traumatic brain injury she experienced while cycling at the professional level and how she overcame it. We also talk about her coaching philosophy and what it’s like to work with athletes at MIT. As a fan of the book Boys in the Boat—which, if you’ve been listening for a while, you know I’ve referenced plenty—I couldn’t resist bringing in some of my rowing questions inspired by the book. If you’re at all interested in rowing or have ever wondered what goes into Olympic-level training, this conversation is full of insights. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Today on the show, I am joined by Jarryd Wallace, a four-time Paralympian and multiple-time medalist. Jarryd’s accomplishments are nothing short of incredible—he’s a two-time bronze medalist at the Paralympics, earning his medals in Tokyo in 2020 in the 200 meters, T64 category, and again in Paris in 2024 in the long jump, T64 division. He’s also a bronze medalist in long jump from the 2023 World Championships, and in 2017, he earned a bronze in the 100 meters, T44 division. That same year, he took home gold in the 200 meters, T44, and also ran in the 4×100 relay at the 2013 World Championships, competing in the T42-46 category. In this conversation, he shares the story of how he became a Paralympian, the moments that led to his leg amputation at a young age, and the journey he went on through 11 surgeries.

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!
