🎙 I'm truly honored to share a very special interview with the great Harvey Lewis, one of the world’s top (and nicest) ultrarunners of all time. (Link in the comments since LinkedIn likes it that way.) Harvey is not only an accomplished runner but also a dedicated high school teacher at the School For Creative & Performing Arts Cincinnati. He runs to work every day on what he calls his “run commute,” and I had the incredible opportunity to join him on one of those runs—from his home all the way to his school, winding our way through Cincinnati and Kentucky, over and back across the beautiful Ohio River. In this episode, we’ll talk about Harvey’s journey as an ultrarunner, including his record-setting win at #BigsBackyardUltra, where he ran an astounding 454 miles over 4 and a half days. We’ll dive into what drives him to push beyond physical limits, and his approach to inspiring others to live healthy, active lives. After relistening to and reflecting on this interview, I think that what comes through the most is not just what Harvey has to say, but how he says it. He truly has a passion, not just for running, but for inspiring and helping others—whether that’s other runners, people that he passes on the road, his fellow competitors in a race, his students or animals. When we finished our run commute, I had the chance to meet with some of Harvey's students, and I asked them what it’s like to have such an extraordinary person as their teacher. I'm grateful that they allowed me to share their responses, which will give you a real sense of the impact Harvey has, both inside and outside the classroom. Of course, I'm also grateful to Harvey for such a memorable run and for sharing so much with us. And, of course, we're all grateful to our partners at Brooks Running for supporting us so to make interviews like this possible. #EveryMileMatters, #LetsRunThere, #Vegan, #Inspiring, Jesse Itzler, Melanie Allen, Meredith Hamrick Bevis, Emma Lane, Jillian Zech, Maya Iverson, Emily Conlon, Sean Lynch, Kim Fabiano Fassetta, Stevie Jones, Alaina Fuld
