  Ep. 50: Elizabeth Clor on Boston Bound, Mental Clarity & Trusting the Process

  Aug 21, 20261h 2mS1

  In Episode 50 of Through Their Stride, I sit down with Elizabeth Clor, competitive marathoner, running coach, author, and creator of the Racing Stripes blog. Elizabeth shares the story behind Boston Bound, which follows her seven-year journey to qualify for the Boston Marathon. The conversation explores how perfectionism, anxiety, and putting too much weight on one outcome can become obstacles, and what changed when she learned to stay steady-minded, focus on controllable, and commit to the process. We also talk about the 10th anniversary of Boston Bound, lessons Elizabeth still carries from her pursuit to Boston, and practical perspective fro runners chasing a BQ, PR, or any meaningful goal. If you've ever felt that your running goal has become bigger than yourself, this episode is for you.

  Ep. 49: From 3:00:10 to Sub-3 | Natalie Lutz's Marathon Breakthrough

  Aug 14, 202659 minS1

  Natalie Lutz is a running coach, mom, full-time employee, and multi-time sub-three-hour marathoner. At the 2023 Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, Natalie ran 3:00:10 — just 10 seconds away from breaking the three-hour barrier. That near miss gave her a glimpse of what was possible, and she went all-in on the pursuit. Over the next 12 months, she raced five marathons before finally breaking through one year later at the Chicago Marathon. In this episode, Natalie shares: - What it felt like to miss sub-3 by 10 seconds at Chicago - Why she chose to run five marathons in 12 months - The training, mindset, and persistence behind her sub-3 breakthrough - How coaching runners fuels her own goals - Balancing high-level training with motherhood and a full-time job - Rebuilding her relationship with running after collegiate burnout If you're chasing sub-3 or any goal that feels out just out of reach, this conversation is a reminder that a near miss can become the start of a breakthrough.

  Ep. 48: "I'm Not Broken" | Chiara Bondi On Running, Autism Diagnosis, & Injury

  Aug 7, 20261h 10mS1

  Chiara Bondi is a sub-3 marathoner, but this conversation is about more than a finish time. In 2025, Chiara ran under three hours at the Eugene Marathon and continues to chase big goals in distance running. Later that year, she received an autism diagnosis — an experience that helped her better understand herself and recognize that she was never broken. For Chiara, running and training have provided an important routine: a way to feel structured, grounded, and regulated throughout daily life. But in early 2026, a stress reaction forced her to step away from running. In this episode, she shares what recovery taught her, how she navigated a difficult season, and what it has meant to return to the sport with a renewed perspective. Chiara's next race will be the London Marathon, where she'll be running to raise money for Ambitious About Autism.

  Ep. 47: Building Community While Becoming an Ironman | Trent Herzog

  Jul 10, 202655 minS1

  Five months ago, a police officer in California decided to lace up a pair of running shoes. Today, that man is a triathlete and cofounder of a triathlon endurance club in California. When Trent Herzog began his hybrid athlete journey, he didn't know how far it would take him. But after finishing in the top 10 in his first-ever 10-mile race, he knew he was on to something. He fell in love with triathlons shortly thereafter and is now training for his first-ever Ironman. But he won't be doing it alone. He and his two friends, Juan Meza and Adolfo Hernandez, he cofounded Forge Endurance Club in Fresno, California, with the mission to show people what they are capable of. And that's exactly what Trent's mission with his endurance chase and content reaction is about. Trent wants to show people that if you drop the excuses and just start working steadily toward your dreams, you may surprise yourself about what you're capable of.
