This episode is all about the things in life that can affect our runs. Family drama, wedding plans, a shrinking household, feeling irrelevant as a person. Our bodies recognize stress…but not necessarily where that stress is coming from. And stress plays into our training as runners! I share a few more thoughts about my DNF at Lake Martin 2 weeks ago… this time from a much more coherent perspective. And I’ve finalized my races for the rest of 2024…Lord willing and if the creek don’t rise! Please share, rate, and subscribe to Fun of the Run wherever you listen. Reach out to me with questions or comments at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady.

You are in for a treat this week as I interview Heather Brubaker from central Pennsylvania. She’s a Mennonite mother of 2 who just ran her second ever half marathon this past Saturday! Several months ago, she jokingly said I should have her on the podcast since we both run in long skirts…and I decided to take her up on it:) She’s funny, she’s genuine and I think you’re going to enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it! Find Heather on Instagram @heatherbrubaker19 As always, please reach out to me with feedback on this episode at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady.

In this week’s episode, you get to hear all of the mind numbing details about how I traveled alone from Arizona to Alabama to toe the start line of the Lake Martin 50 in Alexander City, Alabama. Copious amounts of coffee were consumed and I even barricaded myself into my hotel room because I was afraid of being alone in a strange place. Ultimately, I ended up running more miles than I ever have before and came away with memories that will last a lifetime. From “rolling hills” to 9,999,543 water crossings, to mucky mud and a possible electrolyte imbalance… this story has lots of the good stuff. Hope you enjoy! As always, please send feedback to [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Thank you for listening!

Welcome to this week’s episode of Fun of the Run podcast! Join me this week as I share a couple scary, true stories for your entertainment. They’re true because they either happened to me… or one of my kids! They actually have zero to do with running, but everything to do with listening to fun stuff on the run. I share a bit about why Lake Martin 50 doesn’t seem as terrifying anymore…and how much fun I had volunteering at Mesquite Canyon Trail Runs this past weekend. Enjoy!!

On today’s episode, I discuss the seemingly unreal progress I’ve made since barely being able to run for 15 seconds straight back in May 2018 when I first started running. Now I’m less than 3 weeks away from my 4th ultramarathon…and my first EVER 50 mile race! This sport is full of highs and lows and I experienced a pretty crummy low spot during a recent 17 mile training run…listen in as I share how I convinced myself to keep going! I also share life struggles, mention weight loss & disordered eating ( trigger warning!) and how I’m oh, so happy to finally be in taper mode for Lake Martin 50 miler. I hope you enjoy and…as always…thank you for listening!! Reach out at [email protected] or DM me @waddellrunninglady on Instagram

This episode dives into why it’s so important to see yourself as the amazing runner you are… it’s your body and you can run for whatever reason you want to. Some will say you’re too slow, you run too much, you aren’t racing enough… but what do you say to yourself??? Perspective is everything in this sport and yours can make or break your efforts to follow your dreams & chase those goals. I also share updates about my Lake Martin 50 preparation and race plans for the rest of 2024! As always please send any feedback to [email protected] or DM me @waddellrunninglady on Instagram.

This week you get an extra long, rambling episode…and I still think I forgot to mention a few things! Coldwater was absolutely the hardest race I’ve done so far…and that’s also what made crossing that finish line at midnight so rewarding. Join me as I tell you what it took to keep putting one foot in front of the other for 16 plus hours on the rocky, technical trails of the Estrella Mountains on a beautiful winter day in Arizona. It was an adventure worth sharing! Please go check out @aravaiparunning on IG if you run trails…you might just find yourself joining me for a run in the desert one of these days!

It finally happened! I finally convinced my husband, Dustin, to be a guest on Fun of the Run! I’ll be the first to admit that this probably isn’t the most cohesive interview you’ve ever heard. My questions and topics are kind of all over the place, but I had to strike while the iron was hot…before he changed his mind. :) We talk a little about his running experiences, his reaction to me becoming a runner, why he has a love/ hate relationship with the fact that I’m obsessed with running ultras and lots of other fun stuff. Hope you enjoy! As always, please let me know what you think of today’s episode by emailing me at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. Thank you so much for listening! Shoutout to @dustinschroff for being a guest on this week’s show.

Welcome to this week’s episode where I tell you what it was like to volunteer at an elite level track invitational while the Fiesta Bowl Parade was going by! Those runners can fly, let me tell you! I was a little bit out of my element because I’m slow…but it was eye opening & so fun meeting new friends & earning race credits.

When did I realize I was a “slow” runner? When I first started running in 2018, I didn’t even know pace was a thing. I just wanted to be able to cross the finish line of my first 5k! You’ve heard it a gazillion times, but your pace honestly is the least interesting thing about you as a person. Enjoy this week’s episode! Reach out at [email protected] or DM me @waddellrunninglady on Instagram and let me know what you think of this week’s show! As always, thanks for listening!

Yes, I said it. And yes, I’m talking (mostly) about new-ish runners in this episode. If your bestie jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?? Exactly!! You wouldn’t. Just because “everyone” is running a marathon or an ultra or a 100 miler or running shirtless or picking their nose or whatever…doesn’t mean you have to do it, too. This is YOUR story to write… not someone else’s. I hope you enjoy…and THANK YOU for listening! Please, please send feedback to [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @waddellrunninglady. I read every message! Check out @desert_to_peak_coaching on IG ( that’s my coach!)
