Jeff Humphrey is an ultra runner and running coach but the "old Jeff" was a binge eater, drinker and consumption connoisseur - as he puts it. At his heaviest he weighed 452 lbs but running helped him loose over 200 lbs, twice! He believes running can help pull us out of our darkest places, and that success means never giving up. His story teaches us that consistency is key, and everyday is an opportunity to get closer to our goals.

In this podcast episode, I'm exploring the topic of fitness and physical activity with Evan Slaughter - a fitness influencer with over 126K instagram followers who is known for his positivity and comedic content. The conversation leads us to the topic of self-compassion and caring less about what others think. We discuss whether going through difficult times is necessary to reach a place of self-acceptance or if there are ways to avoid it. We acknowledge that everyone's journey will have its challenges, but there may be ways to navigate them. During the episode I introduce the concept of a "canon event," which is an unavoidable and unchangeable event that has had a significant impact on one's life. We mention that people are using this term to describe moments that have shaped them into who they are today. Overall, this episode explores the intersection of fitness, personal growth, and self-acceptance, highlighting the importance of physical activity in enhancing various aspects of life.

Today, I’m speaking with Elite Ultra Runner, Don Reichelt. He recently ran 250 miles in his longest run yet but it was his multi-record breaking 24 hour treadmill run that had me the most curious about his special kind of crazy! 😋 In this episode we cover what makes people like Don capable of the hard to imagine and why they do it. We also hear his advice for anyone taking on their version of hard, and why we shouldn’t let anyone make us feel like running needs to be anything other than what we need it to be in our lives.

Today we’re talking about diversity in our sport with Philly Race Director, Running USA Board Member, and owner of All Fitness Events, Kathleen Titus. Kathleen and I met last May at the Buffalo Marathon and remained in touch bonding over a passion for running and how to make a difference in the community. I invited her on the show as a friend and someone I admire and respect, but I had no idea we’d dive into this topic of inclusion in our sport and how leaders like her are working to ensure everyone feels represented at our races. As the city that loves you back, it’s no wonder Kathleen was chosen as race director for the Philly marathon.  She is all about returning the love she feels for this sport and our athletes. I can’t wait to share her with you! Please not that we will be covering the topic of transgender athletes in sport and there have been a few developments to this rapidly evolving topic since we recorded…including the World Athletics ban on transgender women from competing in female world ranking events  that goes into effect today March, 31st. Today, March 31st, is also International Transgender Day of Visibility. And while there is still much to learn when it comes to understanding the conflicting needs and rights between different groups, I believe everyone deserves to feel like they belong in our community and am honored to be connected with people like Kathleen who are dedicated to being a voice that inspires change for the benefit of those who need to be seen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mayberunningwillhelp/message
