  • Achilles International ft. Francesco Magisano
    Jun 24 2026

    Running can seem like the easiest way to get out and exercise, but for some, it's not so simple.

    Fortunately groups like Achilles International works to break barriers to races and encourage movement in folks with disabiliities. With over 60 chapters across the United States and the globe, this non-profit truly puts their advocacy in action.

    Francesco Magisano is the NYC chapter's regional director and joins the podcast to share his story as a blind athlete, the legacy of Achilles International and why the organization is so important for disabled and able-bodied communities around the world.

  • A Quick History of Running with Dr. Sam Edwards
    Jun 18 2026

    After sharing my personal history with running, my curiosity led me to wonder what the ACTUAL history of running is.

    Where did it all start, how has time repeated itself, and where are we going (or running to) in the future?

    Our very first guest on the podcast is Dr. Sam Edwards from Loughborough University in the U.K. He is going to lead us through a crash course in the history of running. It's actually a lot more interesting than you might think!

    Thank you Dr. Edwards for joining me!
