After battling some injuries and facing some setbacks she ran her debut half marathon in San Antonia running a 1:10:27 and followed that up with a 69:35 in Houston. In this episode Molly and her coach Jon talk about the not so planned decision to go on a debut the marathon at the trials.

Episode 233: Jacob Riley

Lindsey Hein — Sat, 07 Mar 2020 12:48:51 +0000

Jacob Riley placed second at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta with a sprint to the finish alongside Abdi Abdirahman and Lenoard Korir. It was an exciting fairy tail finish for him with years of hard work and rebuilding behind it.

Jake debuted the marathon in 2:13:16 in Chicago in 2014 and finished 15th in the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials – though he says he was never really in a place that day to make that team and actual placement was irrelevant. He struggled with achilles issues for years and finally had surgery in 2018.

Coming back from the surgery and rebuilding steady lead him to a top American finish in 9th place in Chicago this past fall in a time of 2:10:36. We all knew then he was one to be watching. In fact, I had plans to have him on after Chicago and we ended up bouncing back and forth on communication and turns out it was just meant to be to do this after he made the Olympic team!!

Jake is a Standford alumni and is coached by Lee Troop and runs with the Boulder Track Club. In this episode he shares with us a little bit about their training and what his preparation looked like going into this race! He ran a smart race in Atlanta and patiently waited for the right time to chase down the pack ahead of him, walking away with second place in a time of 2:10:02. I’m so excited for Jake and screamed like he was my best friend when I saw him coming down the last 400 meters in that sprint to the finish.

Enjoy my conversation with Jake!

Episode 232: Julia Kohnen

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 06 Mar 2020 10:59:23 +0000

Julia Kohnen placed 10th at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta! An unsponsored athlete who works full time at the Panera Bread Corporate offices, Julia trains 100-110 mile weeks and keeps surprising herself in the marathon. The Olympic Trials was only her 5th marathon and she ran a 1.5 minute PR.

Perhaps the craziest part of this story is that Julia didn’t start competitively running until 5 years ago when she was pursuing her masters at the University of Southern Indiana and the Cross Country Coach encouraged her to join the team. Having played soccer for all four years of her undergrad she didn’t think she had eligibility, but since it was a different sport she was able to compete.

She ran her first marathon in 2:47 and has knocked that time down at each attempt to her now PR of 2:30:43. Fun fact- she also got engaged right after the race!

In this episode you will hear about her progression of running as well as race details from Atlanta. This woman has so much ahead of her in her career and I can’t wait to see what she does!!

Brittany Charboneau placed 13th at the Olympic Marathon Trials this past weekend in Atlanta, running a 3 minute PR in a time of 2:33:14.

Brittany lives and trains in Denver, she’s a comedian and improv coach and she also coaches runners under her own coach Jenni Nettik.

In this episode you’ll get to hear all about her running progression and what lead her to this day, as well as how the race went down. What I hope you will take from this more than anything is to FIND THE JOY.

Episode 216: Keira D’Amato

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 03 Jan 2020 11:33:38 +0000

Keira D’Amato is known as the “Running Realtor.” She recently ran a 2:34 marathon in Berlin and will be running in the Olympic Trials this February. This was a SIX minute PR and she knows there is more in the tank. Keira is the mother of two and her husband is in the US Army.

Keira discovered running in high school when she was trying to impress her soccer coach and ended up winning state titles in both cross country and the 1600. She went on to run in college under coach Matt Centrowitz senior at American University. In 2005, she finished sixth at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. Post college she competed with D.C. Elite but eventually took some time off.

She ran her first marathon in 3:47 and said she’d never do it again. After having her second baby she decided she’d give it another go to get back in shape and ran much faster than she realized she would. The rest is history, she is now coached by Scott Raczko (again) and you’ll get to hear about her marathon progression in this episode and how she balances working full time, running 100 mile weeks and raising two kids. (Hint: she’s got a great support from her family) Balance, in my opinion isn’t a myth if you work for it and have the support you need.

Enjoy my conversation with Keira!

I’ll Have Another Episode 19: Laura Redman

Laura Redman is a local Indy gal who I adore! I have known of Laura for quite some time, but have just recently had the opportunity to get to know her better and she’s as sweet in person as she looks in that picture above. She is a wife, nurse, coach, runner and badass crossfit competitor.

Laura ran collegiately for Purdue University, after placing second in the 800 meters at the High School Indiana State Meet her senior year. After college Laura started running competitively with a group of runners called Indiana Team Elite. She made it to the indoor champions in the mile in 2010 and then ended up running her first marathon in 2011, qualifying for the Olympic Trials on her first try. Laura then went on to compete at the USA Weightlifting Nationals and the American Open as a 53kg lifter. Most recently she competed as an individual in the CrossFit Regionals after competing on a team for three years. I’m in awe.

In this episode we talk about her running career– how she got started and how and why she transitioned into her most recent passion of crossfit and weight training. We also talk about her job as a nurse in the operating room, her favorite recovery snacks and of course the most recent book she’s read! You’re gonna love this episode.
