RED Episode 279: A Preview of the 2024 Jeff Galloway Weekend in Atlanta

RED Episode 285 MCM Runcation Recap Part 2 with Tania

Tania (@this_phoenix_runs on Instagram). gave us a fantastic episode about the MCM weekend. She’s back for a bonus discussion that we wanted to share this week from the time when we stopped recording, but there was so much more to share!

The Penguin Award at Marine Corps Marathon
It’s in honor of Maj. Megan McClung (KIA 2006)— it symbolizes the belief that finishing is what matters in this or any race! Here is a link to a video that highlights this award and its history:
https://www.marines.mil/News/Marines-TV/videoid/490355/dvpTag/run/.

It is called that, as the video says, because Megan was reading and following John Bingham, who we have seen on several documentaries like Spirit of the Marathon. John Bingham had a website called the Penguin Chronicles, and people can find out more about him at http://www.johnbingham.com.

We found the 2023 winner of the award on https://www.dvidshub.net/image/8094953/48th-marine-corps-marathon-penguin-award.We have requested permission to use the photo in this episode’s artwork.

Ever found yourself chuckling with a first responder while clutching an ice pack?

On this week’s Run Eat Drink Podcast episode, we truly capture that spirit with our vibrant guest, Kristin Ceneviva-Iovene. She's not your everyday EMT; her theatrical zest breathes life into patient care and provides a dose of laughter when it's needed most. We get a glimpse into Kristin’s Connecticut roots, her love for being an EMT, and how her artistic talents spark joy during the most stressful situations. It's a riveting blend of health insights and humor that will leave you feeling both enlightened and entertained.

Imagine sprinting through a fairy tale, tiara and all, alongside loved ones at the RunDisney Princess Half Marathon. We dive into the enchantment of this inclusive event and how it strengthens family bonds, all while navigating the hurdles of the registration process. Kristin shares our costume strategies, gear essentials, and training tips for tackling these whimsical runs. Don't miss her anecdotes about the magic of racing through Disney parks, where every mile is sprinkled with pixie dust, and even the expo feels like a ride of its own.

To close, we celebrate the unique traditions that come with crossing the half marathon finish line, from the jubilation of post-race feasts at allergy-friendly eateries to the support we share as part of the Runcation Nation. But it's not all medals and merriment; Kristin opens up about navigating her current injury. We rally around her resilience, and like any good running buddy, we offer encouragement for the road ahead, looking forward to the next adventure once her comeback tale is complete. Join us for laughs, lessons, and a lot of heart in this week's episode.

RED Episode 281 Footsteps Across New York Tales of Triumph at NYC Marathon and Fueling on the Run

As dawn broke over the iconic New York City skyline, she couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement—the cocktail of emotions that Ana from @Ana_Runs_on_Coffee described as she boarded the bus to the marathon starting line. Clad in mylar blankets and loaded with carb-rich strategies, she joins us for a second episode to continue recounting the pre-marathon rituals that set the stage for 26.2 miles of urban adventure. Hear how her preparation unfolded into an orchestra of precision, emotion, and community spirit found only in the crowds of runners poised at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, ready to conquer the concrete jungle.
The crowd's energy is an intangible yet potent force, and this episode captures the essence of that support alongside the critical topic of marathon fueling. With anecdotes of energy gels and the sweet taste of success (or sometimes, just too much sugar), Ana dissects the tightrope walk of maintaining energy levels without stomach upsets. Glimpse into the heartwarming tales of spectator ingenuity and discover how the cheers of strangers can propel you through the physical challenge and emotional highs of passing each mile marker.
Post-race, the euphoria is palpable as we share the tales of her New York City Marathon experience, from the tear-streaked joy of crossing the finish line to the gastronomic bliss of a well-earned burger. Our journey concludes with brunch at Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe, a treasured photo by the mile 26 marker, and the comical mishaps of a much-needed coffee fix. Join us on this exhilarating tour of perseverance and celebration that encapsulates the marathon spirit, and perhaps you'll be inspired to lace up your running shoes for your next big race.
