Everyday Athletes Go Beyond Metrics
Mar 2400:55:37Tap to summarizeEveryday Athlete stories matter more than metrics. In this Fireside Chat, I explore how the everyday athlete is redefining endurance sports beyond pace, distance, and data. I discuss how Run Tri Bike views the everyday athlete beyond the counting stats. The reality is that we are evolving as endurance sports athletes and we want to see more authenticity. I focus on identity, inclusion, and connection. We are highlighting athletes as people first and athletes second. These everyday athletes are parents, creators, and community builders, not just performers. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong in these sports, this episode will remind you that you do. Being an everyday athlete means showing up as your full self, not just your stats.Keep Connected:Join The Everyday Athlete ClubhouseFollow Run Tri Bike on InstagramFollow Run Tri Bike on ThreadsAnd be sure to subscribe, rate, review and comment.

We put ourselves at the center of a Venn Diagram that includes ultrarunning, infertility, mental health, and the everyday athlete journey.As of this recording, Sophie had recently finished third place at the grueling 268-mile Winter Spine Race, but our conversation goes way beyond race results. She opens up about her experience with infertility and IVF, the emotional toll of loss, and the courage it took to tell her story through her documentary Off Course.We also discuss why women remain underrepresented in ultrarunning, the need for better pregnancy policies in endurance sports, and how vulnerability can become a powerful form of strength.For the everyday athlete, Sophie reminds us that endurance isn’t just about the running metrics. Our endurance is born out of our resilience, honesty, and the courage to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go according to plan.If you’re an everyday athlete navigating challenges inside or outside the sport, this conversation will resonate.Listen now and join the conversation about strength, mental health, and belonging in endurance sports.🎧 Tune in, reflect, and keep moving forward...one honest mile at a time.Don't forget to subscribe, rate, review and comment on the Everyday Athlete Podcast Network.Join the Everyday Athlete ClubhouseKeep ConnectedRun Tri Bike on InstagramRun Tri Bike on ThreadsEvan Birch on InstagramSophie Grant on Instagram📸: Rich Gill

Fireside Chat | Ashley Mateo of RUNHER Magazine
Mar 1701:22:00Tap to summarizeThe Everyday Athlete story isn’t always told by the fastest runner. Sometimes it’s told by the people making sure those stories exist. In this episode of Fireside Chat, I sit down with journalist and RUNHER Magazine founder Ashley Mateo to talk about women runners, print media, and why storytelling still matters in endurance sports. Ashley talks about how repeated rejection from traditional outlets pushed her to create a platform celebrating women, trans athletes, non-binary runners, and diverse voices in running. We also discuss the culture of running and what truly defines an Everyday Athlete. Running is bigger than splits, Strava, or podiums. We are here to tell those stories of Everyday Athletes and prove that there is a spot at the staring line for everybody and every body.🎧 Press Play And Enjoy The ShowKeep Connected:Run Tri Bike on InstagramRun Tri Bike on ThreadsAshley Mateo on InstagramRUNHER MagazineJoin the Everyday Athlete ClubhouseDon't forget to subscribe, rate, review and comment.
