33:41

We are BIG fans of folks getting up, getting out, and getting active. And we’re really, REALLY big fans of folks who help them do it. That’s where our new friends Angi Klick and Sarah Hays at SheTris come in. TBH, if our friend Molly Barker says these are some folks we need to meet, we already know they’re going to be good people! Here’s why: Angi …

Dennis Wilson – Ambassador 25:11

14d ago25:11

25:11

Have we mentioned how much we love, love, LOVE this year’s crew of Novant Health Charlotte Marathon Ambassadors? Dennis Wilson is one of the reasons why. This guy is repping at pretty much every event around town – even the less-than-exciting stuff, like plogging along East Boulevard with our pals from the Charlotte Running Club, the Charlotte Runn…

Joshua Hanson – Ambassador 27:57

27d ago27:57

27:57

So, how might we describe our next guest? How about, “the fun, silent type?” Joshua Hanson probably isn’t the loudest guy in the bunch, but he’s sure as heck one of the most fun we’ve had on the program. Joshua played hooky from his day job as an industrial designer to talk running – and his company’s BIG team headed to this year’s Novant Health Ch…

Smita Warrier 29:32

28d ago29:32

29:32

No argument here. Runners are pretty incredible people, in our opinion. It takes a certain amount of self-will, motivation – or whatever you want to call it – to get up, get out there, and log those miles every day. Or even when you don’t run every day. And while running might feel like a personal, sometimes selfish pursuit, we meet runners all the…

21:47

If you’ve been running around Charlotte at all, you’ve probably rubbed elbows with some of the 2024 Novant Health Charlotte Ambassadors. This year’s team is easily our best squad yet. Not only is the Ambassador team TWICE AS LARGE as years past, it’s also even more diverse, and with members spread far and wide around the area. Sarah Hodges is a mem…

Mike Lopez 24:37

24:37

As you can imagine, we get a LOT of emails about the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon. Folks have all kinds of questions, and lots of them are the same. Hence the term, “frequently asked questions,” right? A few months ago, we got a question we’ve NEVER gotten before. Mike Lopez emailed asking whether or not the map for this year’s event was finali…

Arianna Shahin, Ambassador 23:58

2M ago23:58

23:58

Our 2024 Novant Health Ambassador squad is bigger and arguably the best we’ve ever had. That’s no shade on previous year’s groups, at all. That’s just our excitement about this bigger, more diverse, and exciting crew that’s out there repping at EVERY event, race, and run club in the area. If you’ve not run into one of these 50 folks, you’ve probabl…

Darius Moore, Ambassador 22:22

3M ago22:22

22:22

Head to the start line of most any event, pop into most any running shop, or join in on more and more run clubs and you’ll see more faces, and paces, sizes, colors and shapes of runners than ever before. That’s a beautiful thing for the running community, and for runners themselves. Running has never been a more diverse universe. And there’s plenty…

Betsy Zarzour, Team Hemby 19:28

3M ago19:28

19:28

One of the MANY great things about the Novant Health Charlotte Marathon is how this event continues to give back to the community. In case you didn’t know, the event has contributed nearly half a million bucks to its beneficiary, the Novant Health Hemby Children’s hospital. One of the folks that helps us make that connection between the runners and…

Chris Lees, CLT Symphony Orchestra 33:44

3M ago33:44

33:44

Passionate and nuanced. Those are just two of the many adjectives the CLT Symphony Orchestra uses to describe resident conductor, Christopher Lees. We’ll add fast, quick-witted, and full of energy to the list. Chris was gracious enough to sprint from morning run club and all the way into the studio to join us on this show. Which, we’re certain was …

Kim Kreuzman, Novant Health Charlotte Marathon Ambassador 22:09

3M ago22:09

22:09

A wild and precious life. Yeah, I think we’d all like to live one of those… Kim Kreuzman dropped that little chestnut on us close to the end of this episode, and it was well worth the wait. I’ve called her to the podium on more than one occasion, too. So yes – she’s fast, insightful, and funny, too. There’s probably no other way to describe a local…

Paul Martino, Runner, Physical Therapist, Let Me Run, etc. 34:42

4M ago34:42

34:42

It’s totally fair to say that the CLT running community is full of characters. Our guest today certainly fits into that category. And, quite frankly, we can’t believe it’s been this long before we invited Paul Martino to the program. A longtime runner, a 50 states and DC finisher, and former executive director of the Let Me Run program, Paul has be…

Kristin Smith, Novant Health Charlotte Marathon Ambassador 27:27

4M ago27:27

27:27

The idea of running as fast or as far as you can without stopping is often enough to keep some folks from ever starting. But getting into running – and actually getting better at it – doesn’t have to be “all gas, no brakes.” (That’s brakes as in BRAKES.) Our friend Kristin Smith wants everyone to know how walking breaks have made her a better, heal…

6M ago19:42

19:42

One of the most exciting things happening in running these days is that we see more and more diversity in the sport. And that’s a beautiful thing. Look around at the starting line of an event… take a run on a local greenway… and you’ll see more and more people that look like the melting pot that is our community. And, more and more of these under-r…
