“Thank you Angi and Trevor for everything! Thank you for your podcast, your Virtual Half Marathon opportunity and for all you do for the running community.

So here is my list, in short, of what running my very first half marathon taught me.

Congrats to Academy member Jo Beth on running her first marathon at the Jackson Hole Marathon in Wyoming!
Here is what she wrote,
“So psyched I can finally share my own post saying I AM A MARATHONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weather forecast changed from sunny and gorgeous to cold and rainy two days before the race….and three days after I had packed up my car and driven to Jackson with no rain coat or long sleeve of any kind.
Luckily, Eddie Bauer saved the day and my childhood best friend and I were able to cross the finish line together smiling and crying tears of joy!
Thank you Angie and Trevor for helping me become a life long runner and changing my health and life for the better. I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN A MARATHON AND CHANGE MY LIFE!!!!!!!” Continue Reading →
This race report was sent in by an MTA Podcast fan Estonia named Joonas Püvi.
As you can imagine, all big marathons in Estonia have been cancelled (well, you can still run them virtually), so I wasn’t able to run my planned Tallinn Marathon.
Two weeks before the previously scheduled run I was double checking the marathon calendar and to my surprise, I found a small marathon still happening!
Not virtually, but physically!

I was interviewed by Paul DeVillo a fellow content creator and longtime listener to the MTA Podcast. Check it out!
You’ve heard of the Mona Lisa . . . let me introduce you to The “Corona Lisa” 100 Mile Challenge. Perhaps my greatest masterpiece! 😆
This will be a unique challenge because it requires you to run (or walk) 100 miles. You accumulate the miles over a certain number of days, the goal is up to you. Some of you will be able to log 100 miles in 1 month, some faster some slower.
We also had a fun online Run Tracker built for you to log your miles, watch your progress, and unlock new digital badges. Plus we added some freebies from Coach Angie on the run tracker page.
Check out my video for all the details:

Do you have a question about the run tracker or your shipment? Please send us an email through our contact page.

In our last podcast episode I said I’m interested in writing the book, “How to Run a Marathon in 3 Easy Steps”. I just need to figure out what the “easy steps” are.
But it turns out I may be overthinking it. According to Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother there is only 1 step. 🤣

Congrats to Academy member Deb from Alaska, who is coached by MTA Coach Kristen, on finishing the Hatcher’s Pass Marathon! This was her first marathon and 4,000ft of elevation gain!
“I just wanted to give a quick thankyou for the great pod-cast and the services you provide through your coaching. I was able to finish my first marathon at the age of 50 with the help of Coach Kristen. I could not have done it without her help and the great tips you provide with the pod-cast! Thanks for helping me accomplish something I have wanted to accomplish for many years. One bucket-list item marked off!” -Deb
