➡️SO. MUCH. FUN for our founder Christopher Montgomery chatting to his buddies Angela Anderson Connolly (whom he also coaches) and Scott Sardy on their podcast “How the F did we become runners?”. Part 1 just dropped. Part 2 next week. Link in comments.

➡️We love love love how these two lifelong friends don't pretend that running is all sunshine, unicorns, and shiny race medals. They dive into the messy, funny, frustrating, and rewarding parts of becoming runners later in life in an incredibly relatable (and usually hilarious) way. Give ‘em a listen!

➡️In Part 1, they covered:

⭐Chris' FASCINATING (ahem) running origin story
⭐traveling the world to run races with Active Odysseys (they’ve both been on trips)
⭐training smarter not harder as masters runners
⭐finding joy in running
⭐comparing ourselves to other runners
⭐being the parent of a 10-year-old learning the trumpet

➡️Chris climbed right on his favorite soapbox to give some thoughts on why while chasing time goals can be great, we should never let the numbers on the clock be the only judge of whether a run, a training cycle, or a race was a success. See video.

➡️We can’t PROMISE that advertisers are going to beat down the door to offer Chris a nationally syndicated podcast of his own after this, but positive self-talk is important, so let's not rule it out.

➡️Good luck out there!

➡️No Scotlaaaaaand, no paaaaaaarty!

➡️Active Odysseys is planning to return to the Edinburgh marathon / half-marathon in May 2028, but if enough new fans of Scotland want to go in May 2027, we can make that happen. Let’s talk!

➡️If Boston’s love affair with the Scots has you a little curious, I’d recommend exploring for yourself why they captivated a city - but do it on THEIR home turf!

➡️Last month, while taking on the Edinburgh marathon / half-marathon, a group from Active Odysseys created some truly incredible memories in Scotland. We experienced first-hand everything about the Scottish people and culture that captivated the city of Boston – and we are still smiling about it.

➡️The Edinburgh trip was four unforgettable days of fun, laughter, new friendships, and that unbeatable race-weekend camaraderie in one of the most vibrant, historic, cultural, and welcoming cities on the planet - with (as we ALL know now) some of the best people you could hope to meet. And we are going back!

➡️Next on the Active Odysseys calendar is Rome in March (link in comments). No Italy, no paaaaaaarty? We'll work on that one.
