2025:

Episode Eight - Jackie Gaughan
Jackie lives and trains in Boston where she works full-time in the finance industry in addition to her life as a professional athlete. Her 2:24:40 at the 2024 California International Marathon featured a giant negative split (1:14:19/1:10:21), waking the American distance running world up to her talents, and her story…which she shares in this episode.

Episode Seven - Noah Droddy
An amazing episode with one of the most interesting characters in American marathoning over the last decade, Noah Droddy. Noah talks about his rise from “D3 guy,” to sponsored professional athlete, to eventually running 2:09:09 at The Marathon Project. He also talks extensively about the process of retiring from pro running and moving on to the next stage of life.

Episode Six - Michael Arishita
Michael talks about launching Blank’s Sports Nutrition, his career as a pro triathlete, balancing life as an athlete and an entrepreneur (tease—it’s not easy), and why he’s so passionate about Blank’s. This is a great listen for anyone interested in the business side of the sport, how to properly fuel for a marathon, or that wants to be inspired by someone who is not afraid to chase his dreams.

Episode Five - Paige Wood
Paige talks about jumping into the marathon (at The Marathon Project 2020) earlier than planned because of the Pandemic. She also talks about motherhood, her patient return to competition postpartum, her third-place finish at the 2025 Grandma’s Marathon, and much more. Paige is one of the favorites for TMP 2025 and this episode is a great listen.

Episode Four - JP Flavin
JP is coming off a career best performance at the Boston Marathon in April where he ran 2:10:50 to finish 16th place. JP talked to host Steve Sievert about Boston, his college career , his high school days, and what it’s like to run high mileage with the Hansons Brooks team where he’s doing things he never thought possible.

Episode Three - Rory Linketter
Rory has become one of the best Canadian marathoners of all time after a string of world class performances including a sixth-place finish in 2:07:07 at April’s Boston Marathon. Rory talked to host Steve Sievert about Boston, his career thus far, coaching changes, ambitions for next month’s Chicago Marathon and much more. It’s an awesome listen.

Episode Two - Sara Hall
Steve Sievert talks to Sara about her epic 2:20:32 performance at The Marathon Project 2020, how to prepare for the course, motherhood, racing into her 40s, and her new book!
