Running has always come naturally to Andrea, until it didn’t.
A devastating injury along with an eating disorder led to some setbacks that contributed to her outlook on life and running.
Today I’m (finally!) catching back up with Nora Bird to find out what is new in her world!
Nora Bird Showing Off Her Buckle After the Vermont 100
Nora was first on the show back in episode 206. If you missed our first chat, head on over and check it out!
When we last chatted, Nora described her unlikely introduction to the sport and how she couldn’t help but dive right in.
We talked about the emotions surrounding her running in the 2013 Boston Marathon, and her entering the Leadville lottery on a whim and winning!
Since our last chat, a lot has changed for this 100-mile fanatic! Read more

Amanda started running when she was in 8th grade. Her Industrial Arts teacher was the cross country coach and was recruiting, so she joined the team.
Then Amanda ran cross country in high school and really fell in love with the sport at that point. Read more
Krysta Gunvalson was not a runner in high school or college.
She didn’t start running until she moved to Minnesota from New York and started training for a marathon.
Krysta Gunvalson, Mid Race
Krysta also started running while in the process of overcoming a ten year plus battle with an eating disorder. Running turned out to be a positive outlet for Krysta instead of a destructive one.
When I asked Krysta what her favorite distance to race was and why, she said the marathon because it is the hardest distance to run and such a challenge for her.
Krysta’s first marathon was Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota which she has since run three times. Read more
Today we are traveling back in time to my chat with Sara Welle.
I loved talking with Sara back in October of 2015, and her love for every aspect of our sport is readily apparent.
If you’re looking for a light hearted and fun conversation between two runners, you are definitely in the right place. Enjoy!
When I ask my guests about their favorite distance to race and why, easily the most common answer is the half-marathon.
Not for Sara.
Sara’s answer was the beer mile, which is awesome!
Sara Welle Mid-Beer Mile
If you’re unfamiliar, the beer mile starts with drinking a beer and then running a quarter mile. Then repeat. Then repeat. Then repeat. Read more
