Patrick Cutter joins me on the show today! He’s a 2:34 marathoner and 1:12 half marathoner. He also really loves lifting weights as well- which I was excited to hear more about because I’ve been into lifting myself these days!

Last March he suffered from blood clots in his lungs and shares about that experience and how he’s doing now! He has a great perspective on everything and it was truly refreshing to talk with him for the show!

SIDE NOTE- My mic didn’t turn on right for this episode and my end is kind of low on volume and a bit staticky. I’m so annoyed with myself! I hope it’s not too annoying- such a rookie move for someone who is not a rookie anymore.

I’ll Have Another Podcast Episode 75: Jessica Hofheimer

Lindsey Hein — Fri, 04 Aug 2017 11:06:30 +0000

For Episode 75 of I’ll Have Another Podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with my friend Jessica Hofheimer. Jessica is the mother of three and she lives on the east coast with her kids and husband Robert. She is a runner, a new swimmer, a pilates instructor, a running coach and so much more.

Jessica went from a 5:36 marathon to a 3:11 marathon over the course of a few years and she recently has overcome a battle with over training. She suffered severe GI distress when she was running really fast times for a long time and finally decided it was time to figure out what was really going on. She worked closely with Tawnee Prazak and used Inside Tracker to get down to the bottom of her issues. She also recently has been overcoming a foot injury and has found great joy in swimming.

In this episode we get into the details of what over training looked like- how looking back she could see that something wasn’t right and what the freedom of being healthy is feeling like now. Jessica is currently teaching pilates to an amazing woman, Andrea Peet, who has ALS and is running her fall half marathon to raise money for Andrea’s foundation.

I loved my conversation with Jessica and I know you will too!
