On The Runs 122 - Jenene Vernon - NH 10 Miler
Episode 122
mardi 27 août 2024 • Duration 02:13:19
We open episode 122 LIVE from the NH 10 Miler but quickly get to our guest segment with Jenene Vernon early on the Pod (03:45).
We talk all about the NH 10 miler with some of our PodFam favorites at (01:42:15)
Jenene Vernon shares her journey from hating running to becoming a passionate runner. She grew up dancing and had a strong aversion to running, even withdrawing from a college class that required running a mile. However, after her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, she decided to participate in a 5K race for a cause and found herself enjoying the experience. The second 5K race solidified her love for running as she saw improvement in her performance. Jenene emphasizes the accessibility of running and the importance of not comparing oneself to others. She also talk about their experiences with injuries, particularly her ACL injury and his road to recovery. They highlight the importance of mental strength and the support they received from the Peloton community. Eric also suggest the idea of a Peloton PT series to provide specialized exercises and stretches for different injuries (Peloton?). Everyone shares their experiences at the Peloton studio and their first Peloton classes thanks to the amazing community that Jenene and her husband Josh built with team Wicked Smart Zone. They talk about the welcoming and supportive community at Peloton and the excitement and nerves they felt during their first visit. They also share some funny and memorable moments, including near Code Brown incidents. Jenene reveals her upcoming challenge of running the Chicago Marathon and fundraising for the Lung Cancer Foundation.
In the outro, Eric and Erika record from the church parking lot at the NH 10 Miler with Rachel, Sam, Jenn and Rachel. Everyone talks about their race with stories from a pre-race porta potty code brown to a photo finish. We also get to hear about Rachel's Tokyo Marathon experience when she got her 6th Star!

Introducing "OTR Classic's"
During occasional off weeks we'll replay a classic from our early days of the Pod. Due to illness (Eric lost his voice) there will be no new episode this week. So we figured it would be a great time to drop our first OTR Classic!
On this classic, we take it back 1 year ago after the 2022 Boston Marathon when some of our OG's Denise and Sarah joined us to share their experience running in the 2022 Boston Marathon.
We'll be back next week with out thoughts on spectating the Boston Marathon and soon we'll have multiple runners from the Marathon on the Pod to share their experience just like Denise and Sarah did last year.

Episode 47
mardi 7 mars 2023 • Duration 01:09:41
Episode 47 of the On The Runs Podcast Erika is across the globe after she just ran in the Tokyo Marathon. So we called in a backup for her and brought on one of our favorites Nicole Bryant to co-host the show with Eric.
Nicole and Eric interviewed one of Nicole's Athletes, Ron Kuszmar (16:00) who recently has been entertaining us with his daily marathon training Tiktok videos. We get an inside look of what it's like having Nicole as a coach and a little in-depth of Ron's life including his weight loss journey and having one really cool job.
Eric and Nicole open up the show catching up and get a unexpected call in from Tokyo, and they finish the episode with a little stomach bug story that made one of their week very miserable.
