About this episode
As the sneakers hit the pavement, we're not just chasing personal bests; we're embracing stories of resilience, nutrition, and the Disney magic along the way. Step into the world of runners who have transformed adversity into strength, especially Danielle, a Hartford runner battling cancer while pursuing the Abbott World Major Marathons. Her poignant tale during the Donna Marathon is interwoven with our own reflections on how the community uplifts us. Alongside her are the voices from our Rise and Run family – including a poem that captures the spirit of conquering the Dopey Challenge, reminding us how we're all connected by the road we run. Fueling our bodies for the long run, we welcome Zach from Maurten Sports Nutrition, unraveling the complexities of endurance nutrition like never before. As he shares his marathon experiences and the impact of Maurten's products on his performance, we delve into the nitty-gritty of carbs, hydrogel technology, and personalized fuel strategies. It's not merely about sustaining the marathon journey – it's about mastering it. Also in this episode, we're not just looking back on the strides taken but also forward to the thrills of summer games and the camaraderie of race weekends. From Olympic trials to the must-dos outside of a runDisney race weekend, we're with you through every mile. And remember, our shared paths extend beyond the track, into the heart of the Rise and Run community, where your stories and challenges inspire every step we take. Join us, and let's continue this incredible journey together, one heart-pounding, life-affirming run at a time.
