The More Miles Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

For this episode, we're shifting gears and taking a more personal approach.

Turning the tables, Coach Scott and Coach Michelle take a turn as guests on the podcast, to talk about their personal journeys through this year so far - both experiencing different challenges that have forced them to change, adjust and grow.

Scott and Michelle were both very open on some very personal subjects, so that we can learn and relate. We discuss the onset of illness, injury, and burnout/overtraining, the process of identifying it, treating it, finding your way back, the non-linear trajectory of returning to training, how goals and plans might change, and understanding that its ok to change your mind!

We hope you enjoy and find this episode both informative and helpful.

A journey of 369 miles begins with a single step.

In June 2024, Brad Distad set out to try something no one in recorded history had done before: a "yo-yo" of the historic C&O Canal. Running 184.5 miles from "mile 0" in Washington D.C. to trails' end in Cumberland, Maryland... and then turning around and running back.

8 days, 9 hours, and 58 minutes later, he successfully completed that journey!

Brad is a husband, father of 6, a teacher, a mentor, an experienced ultra-runner, a More Miles athlete, and so much more. In this episode we get to know him, his inspiration for this challenge, what it took, and what he learned through the experience.

Absolutely everyone can find a piece of wisdom and inspiration in his story - we hope you enjoy!

This was one of our favorite episodes - hear her inspiring story from high school and collegiate track, to non-athlete, to ultra-marathoner - including how alcohol played a role in her life, the running community, and her decision to go alcohol free almost three years ago!

This episode is both interesting and informative, and we thank Anne so much for sharing her personal story as well as educating on the effects alcohol has on health and performance!

"You don't have to have a problem to want to quit."
