I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast

Friends, Vanessa Fraser is back on the podcast! She hasn’t been on the show in probably eight years, so I was really excited to reconnect with her and hear everything she’s been up to.

Vanessa ran at Stanford, where she was a 10-time All-American, before running professionally with the Bowerman Track Club. She has a 14:48 indoor 5K PR, spent some time training with Team Boss, went back to her college coach Coach Miltenberg, and now she’s announced that she’ll be working with David Roche as she sets her sights on the roads and, eventually, the marathon.

Vanessa’s career hasn’t gone exactly how she expected it would when she turned pro. She’s dealt with injuries and a frustrating medical condition that has made fueling incredibly difficult. She recently stepped away from her corporate job and is going all in on running, and I loved hearing her perspective on constantly striving for something that doesn’t always come to fruition in the way you imagined.

We talk about her years with Bowerman, Team Boss, going back to Coach Miltenberg, her relationship with Saucony, leaving the corporate world, her health struggles, and why she’s ready for this next chapter with David Roche.

And we have to talk about Gigi! Vanessa recently ran a 4:31 mile with her dog, setting an unofficial world record for the dog mile. I loved hearing about their relationship and how much fun Vanessa had getting to race as a team with her dog.

This conversation honestly helped me see some things in my own career in a fresh perspective. Vanessa made me feel really seen and cared for, and I hope she felt the same from me. I’m so grateful for conversations like this one, and I know you’re going to enjoy hearing more of Vanessa’s story and what she’s been up to over these past few years.

Today on the podcast, we’ve got Monica DeVreese, one of the co-founders of Rabbit. Rabbit has been some of my favorite running apparel, especially recently, and when we launched the Female Founded series, I really wanted to have Monica on the podcast.

Monica has over 20 years of experience in the industry and owns the Santa Barbara Running Company with her husband. She has experience as a runner, consumer, specialty running store owner, and brand builder. She’s run a 2:57 marathon, completed several 100-mile distances, spends a lot of time on the trails, and is also a mother of two.

I have to say, I think it’s pretty obvious that Rabbit is owned by two women because, to me at least, you can tell the female body was taken into deep consideration when designing their apparel. I’m loving their new shorts with the roses on them and have been wearing them all the time. They’re so cute.

I love getting to know industry leaders and people in this community outside of the pro runners sometimes. I’m excited to share this conversation with Monica and I know you’re going to find her inspiring just like I did.

If you’re enjoying the podcast, leave us a quick rating and review and share it with your friends on social media. I would really appreciate it.

I’m really excited about my guest today. I got to host this interview in person at my house, which was really, really fun! Madie Boreman joins me after placing third and earning a bronze medal in the steeplechase at USAs, where she ran a huge PR of 9:17.

Madie ran for CU, and before that, she was a Texas state champion. She tells us a story about running a 5:09 mile in sixth grade. What?! Crazy fast.

After CU, she went on to run professionally and had a sponsorship with Oiselle for a while. Now she is an unsponsored athlete. You’ll see her running in a Bandit kit right now, and she shares more about that in this episode. She also works full time, recently moved to Flagstaff, and continues to pursue her running dreams.

Madie has competed in two Olympic Trials, in 2021 and 2024, in the steeplechase. She’s coached by Julie Benson and has big dreams ahead of her.

She told me in this episode that placing seventh at USAs was about where she thought she might land, and instead, she walked away with a bronze medal. So it’s really, really exciting to see what’s happening for her right now. She also recently won the Brooklyn Mile and is competing in the Sir Walter Miler.

I’m so excited to share Madie’s story with you, continue cheering for her, and see where this journey goes. Go give her a follow on social media and become a fan of hers throughout her running career.

Please enjoy my conversation with Madie Boreman!

The post Episode 700: Madie Boreman on a Breakthrough 9:17 Steeplechase and Bronze at USAs appeared first on SandyBoy Productions.

I’m so excited to share this conversation with Ryan Montgomery, who placed third at Western States this year in a huge breakthrough race. The top three men all broke Jim Walmsley’s previous course record, with Ryan running 13:53. This was his fourth consecutive year running Western States after placing seventh twice, and to say this was a breakthrough is a bit of an understatement. Being in the top 10 at Western States is a huge deal, but being on the podium is an even bigger deal.

We talk about Ryan’s history with running, how he fell in love with long distances, and the journey it took to get to this level. A lot of people might not know that his first 100-mile race took him 28 hours. The process he’s walked through to achieve these really high-level goals is fascinating. He is truly dedicated to the craft.

We also get into the backstory of Ryan’s life and so much more. He set the FKT on the Wonderland Trail in 2020, placed second at the Javelina 100 in 2021, and recently earned his MBA from Dartmouth.

I don’t always get off an interview feeling like I really know a person, and I really felt like I knew Ryan at the end of this conversation. I loved this one so much.

Ryan is also the founder of Out Trails and shares more about that in this conversation. We’ll link all of the resources we talk about in the show notes.

Cailie also shares how she’s approaching the U.S. Outdoor Championships, why she’s taking fueling more seriously than ever, and announces that she’ll be making her marathon debut this fall.
