  Polly Cunes - Making Dreams Come True With Hard Work (and the magic mirror) | RunChats Ep.142

  Nov 14, 202546 min

  Polly Cunes has been on quite the marathon journey. In 2008, at age 25, she ran 3:25 in her first marathon as a bucket list item, and recently rocked a 2:41 PR at Chicago—17 years later! Polly is a mom of two, a teacher, and a master of juggling hard training and chasing down big goals. She bounced back strong from a knee injury in 2020 and surgery in 2021, despite the "advice" from her surgeon that running marathons was "too hard on her knees..." And we're SO glad she listened to her inner voice instead. 17 marathons down. Faster times ahead. Polly is a fun follow, inspires many, and personifies #fasterasamaster. We dug in on her build, the magic mirror, and what's next. I hope you enjoy the listen! If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.

  Marie-Ange Brumelot - Little Miracles & Big Community: An Inspiring Journey from Injury to the Podium | RunChats Ep.139

  Feb 7, 202557 minS1

  "An individual medal isn't won alone." - Marie-Ange Brumelot "I have so much to share and sometimes the story feels too big to sum up in one post. Over the past few months, I faced a torn glute, a broken bone, and 11 weeks away from the sport I love. There were countless tears of sadness, but also 6 weeks of relentless running that eventually led to a team gold medal and an individual silver medal at the 100K World Championship." In this episode, we dove into how the power of our running community, unwavering hope, and little miracles along the way helped Marie get back on track—even when it seemed impossible. "Thank you to every single one of you for your endless support during this stressful journey. We did it together!" Remember: every step—no matter how small—counts. I'm hoping you all will be inspired by Marie's grind and journey back to become Vice-Champion at the 100K World Championships and help her team earn gold. If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the podcast or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.
