What does it mean to belong in the running world?

In this powerful and honest conversation, Andrew sits down with India Calloway, a dynamic voice in the running community, race announcer, podcast host, and passionate advocate for everyday runners. From her first solo runs after work to calling finishers across the line at the 2024 New York City Marathon, India shares a journey that is deeply personal and widely relatable.

She opens up about the elitist mentality that often permeates running spaces, how she’s worked to break it down, and what it really takes to create a community where every pace is celebrated. Whether you’re a weekend jogger, a race-day regular, or someone just finding their stride, this episode is for you.

welcomes coach, runner, race director, and community builder Christi Dee to the mic. From the very first stride of her running journey—thanks to a little “positive peer pressure”—to directing ultra marathons in Central Indiana, Christi has lived out what it means to grow in community.

Tune in as Christi shares how the supportive and vibrant Central Indiana running community helped shape her path as an athlete and leader. We dive into:

• The unexpected start to her running story
• Why Orange Theory and running clubs are more than just places to train
• How community pushes us to become better—mentally, physically, and emotionally
• The role of peer encouragement in getting started (and staying committed)
• Her involvement in organizing races like those under the Vashigamisha Track Club banner

Whether you’re new to running or years into your journey, this episode is a reminder that we are always stronger when we run together.
