During her time with New Balance Boston she lowered her 10K time, came in second at the Falmouth Road Race and was fifth in the U.S. 5K championship. Soon after she was approached by Stephan Haas from Total Sports Management and landed with a contract with Under Armour out in Flagstaff with this new distance team. The team is coached by both Stephen Haas and Shayla Houlihan. You heard from Shayla on this podcast in episode 270! Emily focuses on the 10k, and recently ran her first half marathon in 72 minutes, taking that time down by a minute just two weeks later to 71 minutes. Long term she does have her sites set on the marathon as well.

Emily’s career is in it’s infancy and the sky is the limit – it is so exciting to see what is ahead for her. We also learn about her first love of dancing, what she’s watching and most recently details on the Sunset Track Meet she competed in.

My guest on the show today is Jenny Jurek – mother of two, outdoor apparel/activewear designer, badass ultra runner (she has 2 100 milers under her belt!), Author of the book “North” and advocate for safe maternal health for women all over the World.

I met Jenny when her and her husband Scott came to Indianapolis and I had the opportunity to host a live podcast recording. Have you ever meet someone who is just the kindest and most easy to talk to person? That’s Jenny Jurek.

In this episode of the podcast Jenny shares with us her career path in the design world and how she landed her dream job working for Patagonia back in the day, how she was inspired by her friend (and past podcast guest Krissy Moehl to run her first ultra. We also talk about her marriage to ultra runner Scott Jurek- how they met and their  journey to becoming parents, which included fertility struggles, two miscarriages, one of which was an ectopic pregnancy which lead to the Jurek’s passion and support for the nonprofit “Every Mother Counts.” I had a great time talking with Jenny and I hope you all enjoy our conversation!

Thanks again to Krissy Moehl for introducing me to the Jurek’s!

Katie Nageotte is a Pole Vaulter for Nike- she’s a 2-Time NCAA Champion and a US National Champion. In 2016, she placed 5th at the Olympic Trials and has since moved out to the state of Washington to be coached under Brad Walker. She has been setting PRs and had a great season this past spring and Katie has big dreams of not only making an Olympic Team but also snagging a Gold Medal. She has committed to dedicating her life to the sport and you’ll hear that in our conversation.

In this episode we get to learn about the sport of Pole Vault and what it looks like to gain a sponsorship as a field athlete rather than someone running laps on the track. Katie also passionately shares about pursuing a healthy body image and we get to hear  about her special relationship with her Dad, who was her biggest cheerleader and passed away suddenly when she was just sixteen. We end our chat with all the fun stuff on Katie’s bucket list and of course what are the best most recent books she’s read. You guys are going to love this conversation with Katie!

2018 Western States winner Courtney Dauwalter joins me today! Courtney has made a big name for herself in the ultra running world over these last few years. She recently became the second fastest woman of all time to finish the prestigious Western States 100 miler in a time of 17 hours, 27 minutes and 2 seconds. She has won a ton of big ultra distances races but one of her other biggest moments was when last year she won the Moab 240 outright by over 10 hours.

Courtney was a teacher for several years before going full time into the running scene and now she’s all in. Though she wins big races and does things most of us can’t even imagine doing with our bodies, she is somehow extremely relatable. In this episode we get to talk about the mental side of the sport and the things Courtney does to stay positive and in the right mindset during big races. I loved this conversation so much and truly didn’t want it to end. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
