Noah Droddy is fast, he’s fun and a really nice guy. He runs professionally for Saucony and and Polar and trains with the Roots Running project. Noah grew up in Indianapolis, IN and went on to run for Depauw University (A Division 3 School) where he was an All-American. He credits his current success to a gradual growth and progression in training post college. He currently holds a 61:48 half marathon PR – having taken 5 minutes off that time in just two years time. He ran the Chicago Marathon last fall in a time of 2:16 and is currently training for the NYC Half Marathon next weekend and plans to do a fall marathon as well.  You might remember him from the 2016 Olympic Trials when he ran the 10K with his long hair, mustache, backwards hat and shades when he went viral in the running world. Though the running word fell in love with Noah then, little did they all know just how fast and how real Noah was.

Noah is down to earth, funny and very easy to talk to. He seems to balance his love for running while keeping a great perspective on other passions in life as well. When I talked to him, I got the feeling that he clearly takes this running thing very seriously, while at the same time not taking himself too seriously and that’s something we can all appreciate. Noah is only my 4th male guest ever on the show and I was honored to have him join that crowd.

Enjoy!

About Christi Beth:

My love affair with running began in 4th grade – shortly after I discovered that my basketball career meant cheering for my teammates from the sidelines. So I wrote a letter to the high school cross country coach asking if I could run with the team – only if I was good enough and didn’t have to sit on the “bench”! As they say, the rest is history. I landed a scholarship to run Division I Track & Cross Country at Belmont University and thus began my love affair with Music City, USA!

I’m convinced that I’ve got the greatest job in the world – sharing my passion for & expertise of fitness to the Nashville community and our loyal fans in surrounding states. Along with an amazing team of employees, we work incredibly hard to provide knowledge and unmatched customer service. Our desire is to help you practice a happy & healthy lifestyle. Whether you discover running in 4th grade or at 40, it will have nothing but great things in store for you!

What’s my most challenging fitness endeavor to date? Trying to keep up with my 5 year old, Mason, and 3 year old, Noelle. You’ll see them working in the store as early as Tennessee labor laws allow…

In this episode Christi Beth and I talk about how she got started running, running for a Division 1 school as a middle of the pack runner and where she is now with it. She tells how how she got started in the running specialty store business, from starting out as manager to owning two stores. She has a lot of great, positive talk about how she handles raising her kids and we both talk about our passion for trying to live the minimalist lifestyle- though I think she does a better job at it than I!
