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!!

Episode 213: Ann Mazur

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 04:30:45 +0000

Ann Mazur just qualified for the Olympic Trials in the marathon at CIM! She was a part of a really special group of woman who will never forget that day or that finish line. If you are anything like me you have been obsessing over the beautiful finish line pictures. Ann ran a time of 2:44:45, running a perfectly even split.

You may know of Ann from her popular instagram and business Runners Love Yoga. She is a big believer that doing regular yoga will help you run faster. A subscriber to that method herself, she does daily yoga and peaked out her CIM training with 61 miles in her peak week, but averaged more like 50 miles a week. (My kind of marathon training!) Ann is also a passionate swimmer and teaches spin once a week; her intense cross training has served her well.

There is so much more to Ann’s story though and we get into a lot of it. She shares with us about running in the memory of her cousin Ian and what that means to her and how it’s strengthened her own faith after going through some really dark and trying times.

Ann was a walk on for Notre Dame (she ran with Molly Huddle in college!) and also has her PhD in English from UVA. She attributes both her running and yoga practice being a big part of helping her get through one of the hardest thing she has ever done- earning that PhD. Ann- whatever you do… don’t read these show notes with your PhD ways haha!!

It was a true joy and honor to talk with Ann and I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Bonus: Janae Baron, 2:49 Marathon Recap

Lindsey Hein — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 12:13:02 +0000

Janae Baron just ran a 2:49 marathon at the St. George Marathon and I had to get her back on the show to hear all about it! What I love about this story so much is that for 8 years she had a dream to break 3 hour in the marathon and just a year ago she did that. After accomplishing that dream she went after the goal to run her first 50 miler and then slowly started adding back in speed. I personally had no idea a 2:49 was brewing in that training she was doing and couldn’t be happier for someone who worked so hard for a 9 minute marathon PR. Fun fact- she now shares a PR with my husband Glenn. Fun news we also get to talk about her announcement that she is gunning for that OTQ at CIM in just a couple of months!

Quick rundown on Janae- in case you don’t already know her- she blogs full time over at The Hungry Runner Girl, she is a wife, mom, step mom and dog mom. She is just as sweet in person as you could imagine she’d be from her daily posts over on her blog. A true gem this lady!

If you haven’t listened to my first episode with Janae which was over two years ago- go back and listen to episode 65 and learn all about her life! Janae has also been a gracious returning guest on my patreon page as well and you can find an episode with her there from right after she ran her first 50 miler!

Episode 158: Carly Gill

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 21 Dec 2018 11:32:16 +0000

Carly Gill put a big goal out there to the World when she went to run CIM a couple of weeks ago. She wanted to qualify for the Olympic Trials. She went out and raced with her heart and PR’d by 2 minutes running a 2:47 marathon. This was only her 5th marathon and she gave it her all. She’s had a significant progression since her first marathon which she ran in 3:21 just a few years ago.

Carly didn’t get serious about running until recently and quickly realized she could run pretty fast. She runs and lives in NYC and ran her first sub 3 hour marathon on the streets of NYC back in 2016. She then went on to run Berlin in 2017, clocking a 2:49- a time she didn’t even realize was in her wheelhouse at the time.

In this episode of the podcast, Carly shares with us about her life growing up and then when she started running more seriously in the recent year. We hear a lot about her marathon progression, training and what it’s like to put yourself out there with a big goal and even when you come up a tad short, you can and should be proud of what you did. Carly wanted that trials time at CIM and though that didn’t happen- she walked away with a big 2 min PR and the knowledge that she hit her goal pace for 23 miles. What does that tell her? That with some more training and perfecting her craft, she will sure as heck hit that pace for 26.2 miles in the near future.

I had a follow up conversation with her coach Mario Fraoili after I talked with Carly and he gave me the inside scoop on what it’s like to coach an athlete like Carly and what he believes will help her meet her goals! You can find our conversation over on my patreon page – it is available to all supporters over there!

Episode 106: Sarah Bishop

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 14:42:01 +0000

2017 was a BIG year for Sarah Bishop. She PR’d in nearly every distance and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the Marathon, only six weeks after winning the Marine Corps Marathon. She is the Mother of four daughters (two of whom are twins) and works full time as a construction site contractor as a business development director. She served in the Air Force for three years, where she met her husband, who is currently still serving in the Air Fore as an engineer.

Sarah ran in High School and College (D1 All American 800 meter runner) but she hung it up for quite a few years and didn’t start competitively running again until 2014 after having four kids. She found herself in a slump when her twins were 6 months old and needed to do something for herself, so she took up running again and never looked back. She is a motivated and driven person and this episode will inspire you to not set artificial limits on yourself and dream big. That’s what Sarah did when she decided to break 3 hours in the marathon, only to decide not too long after that that she could also qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials.

Episode 95: Lauren Floris

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 15 Dec 2017 13:33:31 +0000

Episode 95 will round out the last of three interviews from ladies who ran CIM and rocked it. Lauren lives in Southern California (jealous!), is married to Henri and is the mom to Lavinia. Lauren ran in college and came back to running fast just a few years ago. She just ran a 2:44 marathon at CIM, qualifying herself for the Olympic Marathon Trials and taking 22 minutes off of her PR, which was 3:06. She talks about her training in this episode and what race weekend looked like and how even if things don’t go exactly as planned on race morning/weekend, you can still have a kick ass day.

Lauren is a cross country and track coach and also coaches runners on-line with her own coaching business. In this episode we also talk about the fact that she had a natural childbirth at a Birthing Center – as the mom of three, I just can’t even image. (Give me all the epidurals!) I’m always in awe of women you go natural and love hearing about the mental side of that – which Lauren credits to helping her become a tougher runner as well. Lauren is a listener of the show and those episodes are always super fun because listeners seem to be some of the best guests as they know the flow!

Enjoy this episode with Lauren!
