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.

In this episode, I sit down with John Ferry—co-founder and head coach of Team Wilpers and head coach of the Dashing Whippets—to talk about the evolution of a runner, the mental side of training, and why running should serve you, not stress you out.

We explore how goals change over time, why comparing yourself to your past self can hold you back, and the real reason so many runners repeat the injury-recovery cycle (spoiler: it’s all of us 😅).

Plus, John shares his unlikely path from Broadway stage manager to full-time run coach and the powerful lessons he's learned along the way.

Whether you’re just getting started, feeling stuck, or finding your way back to the sport—this one’s packed with perspective.

What if your running shoes were actually holding you back? In this episode of Maybe Running Will Help, I sit down with Colby Gould, Sports Marketing Manager at Altra Running, to uncover the incredible (and slightly rebellious) origin story of the brand that’s changing the game for runners everywhere.

We dive into:
👟 How two running store employees secretly modified shoes and accidentally started a movement
📏 Why most of us are probably wearing the wrong shoe size (guilty 🙋‍♀️)
🏃‍♀️ Altra’s commitment to creating shoes that work with your body, not against it
🎉 Their partnership with Charm City Run’s B3 Distance Series and how they’re supporting runners of all levels
😆 Plus, my not-so-subtle campaign to get sponsored (Colby, call me!)

If you're a runner, a shoe geek, or just love a good underdog story, this episode is for you. Tune in, lace up, and maybe rethink your next pair of running shoes!

In this episode of Maybe Running Will Help, I sit down with elite marathoner and American record-breaker Keira D’Amato for an inspiring conversation about running, resilience, and redefining success.

Keira shares her journey of stepping away from the sport for nearly a decade, only to return stronger than ever—proving that our best days might still be ahead. We talk about the pressure of competition, finding joy in movement, and why running should always be fun first. Plus, Keira opens up about the power of small rituals (like bold nail colors!), her fun shield strategy for handling tough races, and what happened when she ran a marathon untrained.

Whether you're a competitive runner, a casual jogger, or just someone looking for a fresh perspective on chasing goals, this episode is packed with wisdom, humor, and inspiration.

🎧 Tune in, lace up, and join us for an episode that reminds us all—maybe running will help... everything.
