Paria Hassouri Has Mostly Changed From the Inside Out Since She Started Running
Today I’m running with Paria Hassouri.
Paria Hassouri
Paris started running just a few years ago, and on the surface things may not seem like much has changed in her time as a runner. However, below the surface, things in Paria’s life have definitely changed quite a bit.
A Late Arrival to the Running Scene
Paria has a history of riding the exercise roller coaster, where she would get serious about working out for a few weeks and then “forget about it” for a few months before the cycle would repeat. Read more
Sarah Canney Battled (and Overcame) Disordered Eating on Her Road to Boston
Today on the show I’m running with a woman that has so much going on there is no way we will be able to cover it all in one chat.
Sarah Canney: Mountain Runner
Sarah Canney enjoys just about every type of running challenge from going hard on the track to running in the mountains, and everything in between.

With that type of success in a race, I can see why 50 miles has a special place in Suzy’s heart.
The other reason that she enjoyed her 50 mile race so much is the different vibe that is present in the ultra running community. Suzy felt at home with the ultra runners, whether she’s raced lots of ultras or not. Read more
Quick Tip: Dealing with The Aftermath of a Bad Run
When is the last time you had a bad run?
No matter what you do to try and eliminate bad runs from your training, you’re going to deal with a clunker every now and then.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but facts are facts.
You can’t prevent the occasional bad run from showing up during your training. But you can make sure that when you do have a dud it is nothing more than an isolated incident.
I mean, the last thing you want to do is have one bad run linger in your psyche and infect your next run. And the one after that. And the one after that… Read more
