Jen Rudin embarked on her remarkable marathon journey at the age of 50, and she's here to share her story with us. From her early days of sports and acting in New York City to rediscovering her passion for running during the COVID pandemic, Jen's journey is nothing short of inspirational. Her transition from using the Couch to 5K program to participating in major marathons like New York and Chicago highlights her resilience and determination. Alongside her running achievements, we explore her fascinating career shift from acting to become an award-winning casting director and author, and now a certified running coach.
Jen and I dive into the evolving landscape of marathon running, reflecting on how both the gear and the mindset of runners have changed over the years. With anecdotes from major marathons, we discuss the challenges and exhilaration of racing in cities like New York and Chicago, and the unique allure of smaller, quieter marathons. Mental toughness plays a crucial role, especially when crowd support is sparse, and Jen shares how the scenic landscapes of Santa Fe, New Mexico have enriched her running experience.
In our conversation, we also touch on essential aspects like nutrition, gear, and balancing running with lifestyle choices. Whether it's finding the right nutritional strategy or the perfect pair of running shoes, Jen emphasizes the importance of personalization in optimizing performance. We address how to manage alcohol consumption while training and the significance of listening to one's body. As we wrap up, there's a heartfelt invitation for listeners to connect with us, share feedback, and suggest future guests whose stories could inspire our community.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
