In 2015 May believed she wasn't an athlete, but started walk jogging short distances around a track to try something different. She quickly became obsessed and started the instagram account @i.heart.running to document her new hobby. Like many of us, May most certainly is an athlete and just needed to get over that mental block. She's now run distances up to 50km and is passionate about the sport and the community. She will leave you feeling excited to get out there!

Sarah Seads has been working and playing in the fields of running, rehabilitation and health and wellness since 1996 when she stumbled into her career as a Kinesiologist during her first year of University at UVic. Intending to complete her degree as a writer, Sarah suddenly found herself in the school of exercise sciences when a tree planting injury landed her in the university's Physio clinic.  Sarah has been working as a professional Coach in the fields of Kinesiology and sport science for over 25 years and has helped thousands of inspiring humans overcome their limiting beliefs and reach towards their soul sized visions, dreams and goals all over the planet. 

Thanks in part to the pandemic, Sarah closed her successful in person company on Vancouver Island to follow her lifelong dream of becoming a successful writer.  Although she has written 3 small books already, Sarah is currently writing her first experiential & highly adventurous memoir, which will be based around a central theme of pushing pause on her familiar life, closing her business, turning away from her mind-only living experiences and turning solely into heart based living by learning to listen to and trust her intuition.  Sarah has recently returned to her full-time business coaching groups and individuals both online & in-person, after spending the past 3 years navigating her inner and outer wilderness all around the world.

Bailey began her running journey at a very young age, competing in track and cross country through high school and into college, at Clemson University.

Photo: @somerrunner

While her college running career only lasted 2 years due to mental health struggles, it ultimately landed her in Boulder, Colorado, where she discovered trail running.

We chat about how she overcame a negative atmosphere and began to love running again. 

She fell in love quickly and spent 2020 chasing competitive FKTs around the Boulder mountains, quickly growing her thirst to return to competition. In 2021, she dove into trail racing and found herself on every US podium she raced at. Come 2022, she was hungry for more and entered the international scene, ultimately placing 5th at Sierre Zinal, second in the Golden Trail World Series Final and 5th overall in the Golden Trail World Series. Bailey has lofty goals for the future, in regards to running and her voice in the community. She is a dedicated coach and an advocate for mental health and women in sport. She currently runs for Nike, and spends her days playing in the mountains above Boulder, preparing for races/travel, coaching, and spending time with family.

Kelsie is an accomplished runner, having run Burning River 50 mile, the Boston
Marathon, Cleveland Marathon where she BQ'd, and recently pacing a friend through his 100mile race by running the back 50 miles with him. She opens up about her struggles with the post race blues getting so bad they have become real depression. We chat about why this might happen and possible solutions. 

"Running has always made me feel grounded, focused, dedicated. It also provides a type of release, a
time to decompress and unwind, a time to feel my emotions and work through what I was bottling up
inside. I think it's why I continued running into my adult years. Recently in the last couple years post-
race I fall into these deep depressive, borderline major depressive states for about a week after. Talking to others who suffer from the same dark thoughts and feelings have helped me learn more about how common it is among other runners and I hope to be able to help others know they are not alone." - Kelsie

We chat with Jenny Quilty after her WSER 100mi debut in the fastest female field of all time. 

A quote straight from her instagram @adventuresofjenthar:

"18hrs 49min, 11th woman & 100miles from Olympic Valley to Auburn in the fastest women's field yet! 

I said it last night and it feels the same today, I'm the happiest 11th place woman ever. I knocked almost 1hr off the prior fastest 11th place finish, and that just makes me so darn proud to be a part of this field.

I ran a time much faster than I had imagined and learned more about what it feels like to accept and stay in the pain cave. I could not have asked for a more fun day running 100 miles, for only my 2nd time ever & first time at states!"

"Kelly Roberts' pre-BALG fitness routine consisted mostly of struggling through the elliptical and trying to shrink her body. It wasn't until hitting post-college life, poised with a theatre degree, student loans, and the onset of panic, that she found running. Running forced Kelly to ditch perfectionism and stomp out fear of failure. Viral selfies from the nyc half marathon struck a chord with women who could relate to the struggle, and soon the women's running community Badass Lady Gang was born." https://www.badassladygang.com/about

I first interviewed Lizzie in 2020 when we was diagnosed with rare heart condition called AVRC. It's genetic condition that effects the muscle in your heart and makes it turn into scar tissue the harder you work the muscle. In short, it means running can kill you. We chat again about how she's learned to live with it and how far she can push. 

Lizzie found running in her mid 20's and quickly fell in love. It became a huge part of her life as she began winning races and spending her weekends adventuring. She even met her now husband when they shared the podium together at a 50km.

Jereny grew up in poverty, and didn't have the resources or opportunities to explore athletics. She found running as an adult and ran her first marathon in 5 hours and 25 minutes. 

Early into her running journey, she found the Sports Bra Squad movement, which encourages women to embrace their bodies and focus on what they can do rather than what they look like. Through this community, she repaired her relationship with her body, leading her to repair her  relationship with food. These were powerful catalysts that allowed her to run harder, longer, and faster. She eventually ran a 2:47 marathon - just 2 minutes and 5 seconds off the 2020 Olympic Trials qualifying time. She hopes to continue to working to snag that OQT, and then move on to long distance ultras

Liz  was one of six women to run from Boston to New York 560kilometres / 350 Miles in 11 days - an ultra a day. She was an absolute pleasure to chat with and brings fresh energy to the sport! 

"Finishing in the dark, beyond tired, with swollen joints hurts, but I am also quite happy. This experience has been beyond incredible. Diving deep in to the pain cave with my 5 gals has already been an absolute pleasure." - Liz

We get into her epic adventure and how she went from university track to ultras.

Melissa was one of the most positive and inspring guests we have had! She was a pleasure to chat with and her story is going to help many women go out and try without fear. You can get her book HERE

Melissa Rudolph started running on a whim when her kids' school had a 5k one Saturday. Nobody in the house was awake, so she figured it would be fun to try. Since then, she has done various distances and moved toward long distance triathlon— where she managed to DNF 3 times in one year. She recently chronicled this journey in her book "The Year I Didn't Finish".  Melissa is a clergywoman and adjunct college professor who lives with her husband and children in Maryland.

Isabella Janovick was born in Oceanside, CA and grew up doing team sports (basketball and swimming) then later got into extreme sports, snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding. After breaking her back snowboarding at the age of 19 and almost being paralyzed, she switched to a "safer" sport - running. Isabella began to run local road races and in 2014 met Nickademus Hollon at an outdoor bootcamp. Nick had just launched his coaching business and Isabella was one of his first clients. They ran together often, he introduced her to the trails and the ultra world and in 2015 Isabella ran her first ultra, the Lake Hodges 50k. This same year Isabella was also diagnosed with Ménière's Disease, which causes hearing loss, imbalance and vertigo. 

Isabella aka "IzzyB" continued to grow with the sport, increasing her mileage and  started her own running club Ultrabuds. In 2016 she raced her first Spartan, and usually participates in 1-2 races a year in between ultras. 

Professionally Izzy owns her own marketing and communications company where she works with running brands and race directors such as Injinji, Spring Energy, Nathan Sports and the Endurance Race Series, to name a few. She is also a Professor of Marketing part-time at two universities and advises senior experience projects. 

When Izzy isn't running or posting on Instagram, she spends quality time with her family in both San Diego and Idaho, husband and two rescued pitbulls Dally and Romanoff.
