RUN WEEK: My Biggest Lessons From 13 Years of Running (& 9 Marathons) · Hurdle with Emily Abbate

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It is up to us to lace up, to get out,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and to take the lessons that we learn on the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: run and integrate them in the other aspects of our lives.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Because when we do that, that's the point, right, that's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the good stuff. That is when we level up and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: become better, more inspired, more excited versions of ourselves. Hey, everyone,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Emily a body here coming into your feed with another
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: episode for a run week.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Here on a hurdle.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So far this week you have already heard from Jess
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Movald and Aisha prout Leir. We chatted about both the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: long run, how to navigate it, how to master it,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and also how to deal with the crappy runs, the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: runs where your head is just not in the game.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to those episodes yet, if you're
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: getting a slow start to this post Memorial Day week,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: not a problem. They are there and they are waiting
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for you with open arms. Today on the show, I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: am bringing you a personal narrative my biggest takeaways from
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: thirteen years of running, give or take and nine full marathons.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: If you'll learn a lot over that period of time.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You learn a lot about what not to do, what
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to do, what's important, what's not important. I cannot even
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: begin to describe or fully convey all of the goodness
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that has come to my life because I decided to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: believe that I was capable of running, of lacing up
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and putting myself out there, going after the thing that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: feels hard. So many days it has just it's changed
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: my life. It's what I said in the intro. The
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: last couple of days, running has changed my life. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: so if you need a little inspiration to get out
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the door, or if you're just a little curious about
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: me and my story, well that is what this episode
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is for.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you a little bit about
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: my journey and then offer you these tips and tricks.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep this intro short today, but please,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I can't ask this enough. Tag and share this week

  Speaker 1: this all the things over at Hurdle Podcast again and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I am over at Emily a body with that. Let's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: get to hurdling. If you were to tell me thirteen
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: ish years ago that I would be a five day
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a week runner, there is no way in hell that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I ever would have believed you. I distinctly remember the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: run where I went out in my grandmother's neighborhood at
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the time, she was living in plain View, and I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: had some music playing. I think I was using my
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Lime Green iPod shuffle at the time, and I ran
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for a mile and it didn't necessarily feel hard, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I was just so mystified that this thing that I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: thought that I was absolutely no good at not that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: long before that moment, was suddenly in my wheelhouse. This
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: came shortly after an entire summer where I was in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the middle of my weight loss journey, and I've talked
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: about this many many times on the show before. But
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I was going into my junior year of college. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: had recently lost about thirty five pounds, give or take,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to keep up with my fitness. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: was working at a summer camp at the time, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: so I decided that in order to keep up with
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: my fitness, I was going to have to start to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: like running. I was going to have to start running
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because they didn't have access to like the Planet Fitness
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: or my school gym that I had been using before
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I arrived at this camp for this job as a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: programming director, and so that summer changed my life because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I learned to love running. I learned to stop making
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: excuses and just try the thing, and I had so
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: much compassion and so much grace with myself. I'm going
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to link to the episode in the show notes where
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I talk about this in depth.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Make sure to check that out.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But basically, the moral of the story is that I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: ran a half mile every day for the entire summer.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: At the time, I thought it was a full mile,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: only to find out at the end of the summer
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that it was a half and that half a mile
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: took me fourteen minutes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Fourteen minutes.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: If I in that time had been in the place
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: where I was so busy comparing myself to everybody else,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I would have felt as though that was quote unquote
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: too slow or not good enough or whatever. But for
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: some reason, a magical reason, I was just so elated
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that I did it, that I committed to this thing
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that made me feel good. I was so focused on
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: how I felt that I stopped worrying about what it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: could look like or if it was quote unquote good enough.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That summer, as I said, it changed everything. And so
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the thirteen years that followed, that girl from that summer
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: never would have guessed that she would become a three
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: twenty three fifty six marathon her, never in her wildest dreams.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And that is one hundred percent who I think about
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that girl. Every single time I finish a race, a run, whatever,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I have a moment where I'm like, wow, I am
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: so blessed that I started. So okay, a little bit
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of a ran. To kick us off here, I'm going
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to talk you through my biggest takeaways after thirteen years
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of running in nine marathons. First thing first kind of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: hinted at that just now nothing happens overnight. Absolutely nothing.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I told you I was running fourteen minute half miles
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and now my fastest mile is I think it's five
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: fifty six, just a single at five fifty six. She
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: never dreamed that she would be able to do that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But that time, that pr took thirteen years. It took
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a sense of unwavering self belief. It took a lot
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of training and learning and asking and not being afraid
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to put myself out there. It also took a lot
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of crappy runs, again, which I talked about with Aisha
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: on the show yesterday. You don't just show up to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the starting line of a marathon and crush a marathon
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: without doing any training. That does not happen overnight. That
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: takes a lot of dedicated time and effort and learning.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And so just like becoming a better runner and getting
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to a point where running mayfield quote unquote easier, that's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: something you're going to have to work on, and that's okay.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone works on their own thing. I want you to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: be able to focus on your own journey. Understand that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the journey is where the beauty is. Yes race day
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is fun and exciting, and it's something that will always
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be remembered. But the journey is why you train for
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the marathon, right. The journey is where the lessons are.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: The journey is where the opportunity is. So if you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: are not paying attention and just check things off your
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to do list and show up to the race with
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: all this expectation for it to be the thing that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: blows your mind and changes you for absolutely ever, then
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you're kind of missing a point. You owe it to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: yourself to pay attention, to learn the lessons, to sit
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: with the feelings that come hand in hand with showing
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: up and putting in the work, and be proud of yourself.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You know, in running, we set these goals and going
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: after the goal that's the important part.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yes it's great to say something like I have a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: five fifty six mile PR, but that didn't happen overnight,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and the journey is what was the most rewarding part.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Next takeaway from thirteen years of running nine marathons, invest
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in your gear. When I started running regularly, I probably
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: owned twelve different pairs of black cotton leggings from Target
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and that's what I would run in. Anna Haines White
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: V Neck Many Haines White V necks, and with time,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: as I ran more, I learned that that was going
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to be uncomfortab and that when you wear a cotton
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: shirt and cotton gets wet, it stays wet, and that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: is just not ideal because depending on what time of year,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you could either be in this heavy cotton shirt that
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is not breathable and really awful in the summer, or
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you could be really cold because again it gets wet
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and it stays wet, and if it's in the winter,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that's a no boy. Now, anyway, investing in your gear,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that price tag, that sticker shock is going to be
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a tough pill to swallow right off the bat, but
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you will never regret getting technical clothing that can help
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you on your run. I would recommend having three or
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: four go tos of shorts or tights, a sports bra
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: if you're a woman, a tank top or a long sleeve,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and at least two to three pairs of sneakers. I know, again,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: sticker shock. I'm putting a lot of things into the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: universe here that will help you train better, but they'll
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: also help you stave off injury, be more comfortable, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: when you feel good, you run better. The science proves it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Don't just take my word for it. I have wrapped
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a lot about my go to gear picks a lot,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a lot, a lot in the weekly Hurdle newsletter. Make
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: sure you're subscribed to that. I'm going to put the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: link in the show notes so that you can get
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: my suggestions for everything from sports bras and hats to sneakers, tights, shirts,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: all the things. Taking a break from today's episode to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: give some love to my sponsor at Tracksmith. Tracksmith is
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a Boston based performance running brand dedicated to the community, style,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and culture of running.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Putting on my Tracksmith gear makes me feel sleek.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: It makes me feel fast and fit, and that may
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: sound a little silly, but even the science shows that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: when you feel good, you perform better. On top of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: just feeling good about my gear, I feel really amped
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: about this partnership because it's unlike anyone that I've done before.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: The company is offering to donate fun five percent of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: every purchase using the code Hurdle back to Girls on
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the Run to help drive change. You'll also get free
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: shipping on your order as well. Now y'all know that
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: one of my mottos, one of the phrases that I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: live my life by is do good and this partnership
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: just couldn't be more of a perfect fit for me.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Now I chose Girls on the Run. I really love
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: what they are all about. Running helped me so much,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: come into my own find independence, become confident at such
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a critical time in my life, and I can only
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: imagine what it would have been like to learn in
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: some of these lessons a little bit earlier on. Girls
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: on the Run is all about integrating movement as a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: tool to strengthen a sense of confidence in young girls
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: while fostering care and compassion for self and others, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that is my jam. Be sure to check out Tracksmith's

• 12:00

• 12:21
  Speaker 1: girls on the run. My next biggest takeaway don't be
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: afraid to run with other people. I have lived in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: New York for ten years now, and it wasn't until
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: probably the last three or so years that I open
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: myself up to the greater running community. I don't have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of regrets in my life, and I know
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot of lessons running on my own
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: for all of that time.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: But man, like this is borderline.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I really wish that I did it sooner, and I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: wish that I did it sooner because running with other
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: people it does two things. One, it gives you an
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: opportunity to make friends, which is so great, but it
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: also gives you a sense of excitement and competition. Me
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: running with other people was so motivating in such a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: big factor to the gains and the wins that I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: have had over the last three years as I've immersed
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: myself in this culture. And I didn't do it for
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: so long for the same reason that maybe you haven't
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: done it or are scared to do it. It's because
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I was scared to quote unquote again not be good enough.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I want you to remember you decide your own self worth.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It is called self worth, it is not called group worth.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: You are the person that gets to show up and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: be your best self. And if you're running with the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: right people, no one's going to make you feel lesser
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: than because you are showing up and putting in your best.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So I encourage you to put yourself out there. It's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: something that Knox and I are going to be talking
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: about on Friday when we get into a discussion about
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: run crews, run culture, and how to link up with
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: a group or create a group in your local area.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: It's getting to a place where, yes, it might be
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable to start surrounding yourself with other people,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: but once you do, you certainly will not regret it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean this to say that you need
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to join like a huge run crew or a run group. No,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you could just start running with a friend or a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: few friends or a family member. Make sure you set
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a reasonable expectation so that you're all on the same
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: page for what the effort is going to be, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: go out there and have a good time and catch
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: up and swap stories. And you may just realize, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I've realized that you shouldn't have waited so long to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: get into it. My next lesson, Skipping one run in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a training plan won't ruin you, even if it's a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: long run. I would be remiss if I didn't say
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that I like. I love a good training plan. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: love following directions. I love not having to think about
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the thing that I'm supposed to do. I love instructions.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Can you tell that I'm type A. Here's the deal, though,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to listen to your body, and sometimes
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you got to listen to your heart. And there are
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: going to be days where maybe you're not feeling right,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you're just not into it. You need to do something
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: else that goes on in your life, like go to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a wedding or a baby shower, or see your parents,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: or catch up with a friend, or just take a self.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Care day, and that's okay.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Do not guilt yourself over the fact that you've got
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to do you sometimes. Yes, running is important, and yes
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it involves a lot of opportunity, costs a lot of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the time, but remember you've got to live your life
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: as well. Missing that one run again, it's not going
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to ruin all of the successes that you've already had
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: or the progress that you've made, depending on where you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: are in your own journey. Remember that every single day
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: when you get up, you have an opportunity to start again.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So I say that also kind of on the vibe
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that there are going to be ebbs and flows and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you're running, Especially for someone like me who has been
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: doing this for over a decade now, they are going
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to be maybe strings of bad runs and strings of
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: good runs. And that's okay. Everybody, even the pros, they
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: have good and bad days. You owe it to yourself
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to commit for the long term. You owe it to
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: yourself to remember, yes, that you can start every day.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Every day is a chance for a new beginning, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: every day you can invest in yourself to get one
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: step farther than you were before. And lastly, here today,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to throw out this one. You learn more
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: from the bad runs than the good ones. I'm not
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: going to say that I don't appreciate things like my
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: stellar virtual in New York Marathon last year, or the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: unbelievable time I had in Chicago in twenty nineteen. Think,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: but when I think about the lessons that I've learned
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: on the run over the last thirteen years. The biggest
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: ones are from the days where nothing went according to plan.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I think about the ten k that I ran two
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: weeks ago and how I went into that so dehydrated,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: so not prioritizing things, and what I learned from that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: day that didn't go as I had hoped. That I
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: was getting down on myself in the moment. For by
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in retrospect, I'm so grateful that it happened right. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: think about that hard first marathon in Hartford in twenty thirteen,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and how I didn't know what I was capable of
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: until I showed up that day and I put in
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the effort and that God unlocked a can of worms
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. I think about the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: hard as hell fastest mile that I ran last summer
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and the pain involved in that, and what I learned
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: from pushing myself to that level, to that maximum potential,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and how I wanted to give up and the wheezing
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was starting. But really what happened in that moment was
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that I learned that I could probably do more. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: think about the boss In marathon, where it rained and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hailed and there were like thirty mile an hour headwinds
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: coming straight at my face, and I kept going because
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I knew that I didn't come that far to only
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: come that far. I didn't come that far not to finish.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: It is so awesome what happens when you believe in yourself,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: when you're willing to jump the hurdles, when you're willing
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to go after your big potential. And that is the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: biggest takeaway that I have learned from running, is that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: we have to believe in ourselves. We have to be
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: our own biggest hype men and women. It is up
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to us to lace up, to get out and to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: take the lessons that we learn on the run and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: integrate them in the.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Other aspects of our lives.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Because when we do that, that's the point, right, That's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the good stuff. That is when we level up and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: become better, more inspired, more excited versions of ourselves. That's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it for today. I'd love to know what lessons you
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: have learned on the run. Again, make sure to tag
• 19:03
