#87 - Hey there, RaceMob crew!
We've taken a little hiatus from the podcast. You know, I started a new job, had a baby, and all the normal things that go on in a year. But I think that you'll be happy to know that baby Gemma is doing amazing and Coach B's business has been thriving!
And behind the scenes, we've been working on a number of incredible initiatives for a RaceMob that we're going to be launching later this year.
But something has been missing in our lives, and that's getting back together and recording this podcast. There's so much magic that happens when we're able to hit that record button. So many incredible connections that we're able to make. And so many of you, our audience that we hope to help.
So pop in those headphones because the podcast is back, baby! -

There's so much of our audience that is getting back into live racing, and this may be their first-ever live race, while there's a lot of our audience that have been doing races for years.

# 81 - We’re so excited to welcome Paul Fukuma to the podcast. Paul’s a fourth-generation army veteran, who brought a friendly little month-long 100-mile competition - the Taji 100 - stateside. Paul's the chairman of the Taji 100 fitness challenge that takes place every year in February.
He was part of the event in its inception in 2010 at camp Taji. And under his leadership, this event has grown exponentially and has raised over $300,000 supporting military families.
Not only do we get into Paul’s background, and his experience - in camp Taji Iraq for the first-ever Taji 100 event. But we also talk about the inspiring stories of participants of the years, and the reason that Paul’s been doing the event year after year - spending hundreds of hours and not taking a cent.
We also dig into another topic, to understand Paul’s unique perspective. Paul is a public safety officer - which means that he wears three hats - as a police officer, fire fighter, and EMT.
And as you hopefully recognize - we’re currently in a critical moment in time. Political tensions are running high and the world may seem more divided than ever. There’s been a large focus on systemic racism and even calls to defund the police.
So I wanted to get Paul’s take. I didn’t give him any advanced notice - but his honest answers were refreshing and real - and I just appreciate him so much for it. You guys are going to love this conversation - and if you want to improve your health and raise money for an amazing cause - I encourage you to participate in the Taji 100 this February. -
Hey RaceMob Crew! In this week's episode, we talk to Kaitlin Heck - Rock 'n' Roll's Marketing Manager for the West Coast. Many of you know about the incredible events that Rock 'n' Roll puts on across the country - In fact my first marathon was the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas - and the Rock 'n' roll San Jose goes by my house every year.
So, how does one end up working for one of the largest race series on the planet? How do large races attract participants year after year? And what does the outlook look like for 2021? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. -
#79 - This week we welcome Jake Tuber - the founder of Endeavorun - a company that offers Premier Retreats & Camps for the Everyday Athletes.
During this episode, we talk about Jake's introduction to running and long-distance running. How he leveraged experts and a little social psychology to help stay motivated.
We dive deep into the way that Jake organizes his camps, to help facilitate group camaraderie while giving personalized attention. This is a fascinating discussion that leverages Jake's advanced degrees and vast experience in his professional life.
And we get to really discuss some of the upcoming retreats, including the one scheduled in February featuring our friends Matt Fitzgerald and our very own Coach B. -
#78 - What is resilience? Is it an inherited trait or a learned skill? And if it's learned - how do you build more of it? Well - why not ask the person that is literally researching it right now.
Dennis Relojo-Howell should know a ton about resilience. In fact, he grew up from meager beginnings in the Philippines - and through hard work, determination, and skill - was able to make his way out of poverty.
He's now living in England and is the founder of Psychreg - the world's first blog for psychologists.
This conversation really took some unexpected turns, but it was so much fun connecting with a fellow entrepreneur. What Dennis helped me realize is the importance of reflecting on your experiences. Whether that be through blogs, social media, podcasts, or video - the ability to reflect and share can help you build your resilience.
In 2022 - we're exploring many avenues to help you leverage RaceMob as your creative outlet. If you'd like to get involved - just reach out to me or Bertrand.
Unfortunately - Coach B couldn't make the conversation due to a scheduling conflict - but don't worry, we'll continue our normal format going forward. -
#77 - We are so thankful to be able to call Matt Fitgerald a mentor and friend. We've been working with this best-selling author and a true pillar of the endurance community for the past year. And he's helped us in so many aspects of our business.
In this episode, we talk about the creation of the 80/20 Foundation, and the Coaches of Color Initiative - a foundation that we're very closely tied to. We talk about the principles of 80/20 training - and its proliferation. We chat about Matt's latest book - a deep dive into the principles of pacing. We also chat about Long Haul Covid - a disease that has been absolutely devastating for Matt. -
#76 - We've got a very special episode today.
We have a lot to be thankful for this year. And so got an obviously good friend and cohost Coach "B" on the podcast this morning, as well as our producer Gabriel Caetano, live from Brazil.
We just wanted to come together to let you guys all know what we have been thankful for this 2021. - Se mer
