Episode 11 – Zac Price of Brooklyn Track Club
March 04, 2019 22:37 - 1 hour - 120 MB“My friend, Jordan, actually commented my Instagram when I announced I wasn’t running the marathon. He said, ‘The comeback is greater than the setback.’ It really became a mantra for me for that whole year. My mantra when I was in the training was ‘Come back stronger’ and I did. It wasn’t just running. It was life.” Zac Price joins the Runners of NYC Podcast to share his story of how he found running late in his life and has "become a better person mentally and physically" as a result. We di...
Episode 10 – Candice Huffine and Matt Powers
February 19, 2019 05:45 - 1 hour - 169 MBCandice Huffine: "I was so against becoming a runner myself out of fear that I watched him transform because of his new lifestyle and this community he was a part of. I still wasn't sold. I was so scared of what I was able to do or could be possible for me that I just waved him goodbye and was like, 'Cool. That's your whole separate thing. This is a whole other life that we wouldn't do together.' But he was a different person and he was happier." Matt Powers: "I could imagine that it was a l...

And then, now that I'm a mediocre runner, I realize that being a mediocre runner is even more fun. In fact, I think I would rather be a mediocre runner than a good one at this point...because then you can just enjoy it for what it is. You don't have any expectation of winning everything. That was this epiphany that happene...

Episode 4 - Caitlin Phillips, Two-Time US Olympic Marathon Trials Qualifier
November 27, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 74.1 MB"You have this insane community in New York where if I wake up on a Saturday morning, there are a number of people I can text and be like, 'Hey, do you want to meet for 6, 10 or 15 miles real quick?' New York is condensed in a way where you know people are going to Central Park, Prospect Park, the West Side High Way or doing some sort of bridge run situation. I think that aspect of it has been very crucial to me. I sincerely don't know if I would still be as invested in running and racing if ...
