Jon Levitt has spent the last seven years asking the best runners in the world — Olympians, ultrarunners, back of the pack finishers, and everyone in between — one simple question: what keeps you going?

As the host of For The Long Run and Long Run Labs, and a builder in the endurance space through Find My Huddle and Eternal, Jon has become one of the most trusted voices in the sport. But in this episode, the tables turn. We flip the mic on the guy who usually asks the questions.

Jon and I get into his own running journey — from his first marathon to ultra distances, from a life-changing dinner with Zach Miller in 2018 to launching one of the most respected running podcasts out there. We talk about the aggregate wisdom he has collected from hundreds of conversations, why process beats outcome every single time, what the back of the pack has taught him that the elite side hasn't, and how curiosity — not talent, not obsession, but pure curiosity — has driven every chapter of his life.

We also get into what it looks like to build a real business in the running world, why starting early matters, and the three words he lives by: pursue adventure, follow curiosity, bet on yourself.

Whether you are chasing your first 5K or your fifth 100 miler, this conversation is going to leave you fired up to lace up.

Anne Keane is a jewelry designer, a mom, and a woman who has been living with — and thriving through — stage 4 breast cancer. She is also a marathoner, chasing all six Abbott World Marathon Majors while raising money for Dana-Farber, the very institution that is part of her own cancer journey.

In this conversation, Anne and I get into all of it. How running found her during the pandemic. What it feels like to train for Boston and Berlin while managing a stage 4 diagnosis. The mental discipline it takes to keep showing up when your body has its own agenda. How her work as a jewelry designer at Flock Boston connects to her work as a runner — both requiring patience, craft, and steady hands. Why she chose the word thriving instead of surviving. What it means to run for Dana-Farber. And what she wants the metastatic breast cancer community to know about what is still possible.

Anne is the definition of at your own pace. This is a conversation about resilience, community, creativity, and choosing to live fully — one mile, one bead, one day at a time.

If you have ever been told something hard and had to figure out what came next, this episode is for you.

What happens when a Peloton bike gifted by your husband accidentally sparks a full-blown running obsession? For Laura, it meant going from her first ride to coaching her son's middle school cross-country team—to a state championship—in just six months.

In this episode, Laura shares the beautifully messy reality of becoming a runner: fueling her first marathon with nothing but applesauce squeeze pouches, battling humidity so brutal her vest left burns, and wrestling with the voice that whispered "I don't look like a runner, I don't talk like a runner." Spoiler: she ran it anyway, clocking her best half-marathon split in the process.

We dig into imposter syndrome, the power of community, and why every runner—no matter their pace—belongs in this sport. Laura's story is proof that you don't need to start on the roads to end up crossing a marathon finish line. You just need to start.

Whether you're eyeing your first 5K or your fifth marathon, this one's a reminder: one step, one mile at a time.
