From global marathons to hidden gem trail runs, Bart Yasso joins us to talk about his new book, 100 Runs of a Lifetime.

In this episode, legendary runner, author, and former Chief Running Officer of Runner’s World Bart Yasso shares the stories behind his most unforgettable races—how he chose just 100 out of thousands, what makes a run truly life-changing, and why documenting your own running journey matters.

We talk about Comrades Marathon, the origins of shakeout runs, race-day rituals, travel tips, and how the culture of running has evolved over the decades.

Whether you're planning your next race or dreaming of a global running adventure, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughter, and timeless advice from one of the sport’s greatest storytellers.

Today’s guest is David Roche—elite ultrarunner, 2024 Leadville 100 champion and course record holder, coach to some of the sport’s top athletes, co-author of The Happy Runner, and co-founder of Some Work All Play with his brilliant wife Megan. But beyond the accolades, David is someone who radiates joy, purpose, and perspective—especially in a sport that can sometimes take itself way too seriously.

We talk about why running doesn’t have to “matter” to matter, how to set big scary goals without tying your worth to them, and why silliness and love might just be your best training plan. Whether you're toeing the line at your first 5K or dreaming of a hundred-miler, I promise—this episode will leave your heart a little fuller and your inner critic a little quieter.

This episode of Coaches with Coffee is for every runner who's ever dealt with an injury, questioned their motivation, or wondered if their best miles are behind them.

Recorded in March (so yes, some race references have passed—but don't worry, you're not late to the party), Nicky Tamberrino sits down with running legends Jeff Horowitz and Bart Yasso for a wide-ranging conversation on how running evolves as we do.

From tendonitis and aging joints to letting go of PRs and finding joy in the back of the pack, this episode gets real about what keeps us lacing up. You’ll hear honest reflections, coach confessions, and even a bathroom mishap story from the Boston Marathon start line. It’s funny, wise, and full of the kind of reminders every runner needs.

Whether you’re training hard, easing back in, or just showing up for the vibes—this one’s for you.
