Today I’m joining David Hylton, the co-founder of #runchat, for a few easy miles.
David Hylton
While David is a founding father of arguably the largest online running community, there is nothing like taking those relationships that have been created via social media and bringing them into the real world.
And as #runchat continues to grow, there will continue to be more and more opportunities for those interactions to take place. Read more
Paul Mellor is best known for something that seems completely unrelated to running–his memory. He has been a finalist in the USA Memory Championships (2008) and he hosts memory seminars to help show the power that consciously working on improving one’s memory can have on every aspect of one’s life.

But Paul is also a runner.
He’s a member of the 50 States Marathon Club, having run 66 marathons overall. He is also thinking about taking a stab at joining the marathon century club. Read more
When I have my choice, I love being a part of a group run. Getting a group of running friends together always pushes me to run farther or faster than I would on my own, whether it’s a speed workout, tempo run, or long run.
I love the group that I run with, and am really itching to get back out with them soon since I’ve missed them a lot since the baby was born.
But anytime you get a number of people together for a group run, you wind up with a set of issues that you don’t have to deal with when running by yourself or with just one or two others.
Each group is likely going to have their own set of “rules” for the group, but it’s important that everyone participating in the group run are on the same page regarding a number of issues that may come up from time to time.
On today’s show, I’m joining comedian/actor Jeffrey James Binney for a few easy miles. Jeffrey has taken up running in an attempt to lose weight, improve his health, and push himself to new limits.
Jeffrey James Binney
And the catalyst to making these changes in his life? Losing his mom at the age of 58 to heart disease brought about by obesity. At 330+ pounds he didn’t want to go down the same path with his health, and he started running.
He started slow, and built up, and now he is training for the Leadville 100. Read more
Felicia Wilkerson is a Marine Corps veteran that is no longer serving our country in an active duty role, but that doesn’t mean that she’s done serving.
After suffering a non-combat injury that nearly took her life, she was unable to meet the physical requirements to get back into active duty. Find out more about her injuries here and here.
After her surgeries, the doctors told her that she would no longer be able to run due to the nature of her injuries, but she was unable to accept that news. She vowed to prove them wrong, and is currently doing so in glorious fashion!
Felicia Wilkerson
She has set out on a mission to run 12 races in 12 months with 1200 miles of training in order to help raise funds and awareness for two organizations that do amazing work to help support our veterans. The two organizations that she is supporting are the Semper Fi Fund and the MARSOC Foundation. Read more
