Today is Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 and on this day 3 months ago, I launched this podcast. In this episode, I will tell you what I have learned since launching on July 1st, and where we go from here.

Today is September 28, 2025 and on this day in 1997, Irish runner Catherina McKiernan won the 24th annual Berlin Marathon in what was both a course and national record, as well as the fastest marathon debut by a woman in history at that time.

In this episode, we’ll sit down with Catherina herself to hear what that day was really like.
