On this episode of Running Times, Gagz welcomes into studio Rachel Bambrick, a local ultrarunner, community member, and co-founder of Why We Run Crew.    Rachel recently completed the Cocadona 250 - an extraordinary, life changing 250 mile race that meanders up down and all around the scenic deserts and mountains of Arizona.    Take delight as Rachel waxes poetic about the duality of glitter and grit in her life and in the world at large. She expounds this psychology and explains how her mindset has facilitated her to tackle many larger than life challenges, such as running across the country of Haiti and establishing a 64 mile Female - supported FKT along the Cape Cod Traverse.    The path of accomplishment is never linear. What's more, the trail is seldom lonely when community is at the heart of one's actions. Rachel's journey, and her mission to make the ultra world more accessible to women, is no exception.   To learn more about Rachel visit @rachel_lynn07 on IG.   RTWG is proudly sponsored by www.PhiladelphiaRunner.com

On this episode of Running Times, Gagz welcomes Valentina Viana and Aaron Nixon into the studio for a spirited discussion centered around the word "Equilibrium," or the idea of using movement to stay balanced.    Equilibrium is also the title of a new mural prominently featuring Valentina & Aaron - two cherished members of Philly's vibrant running community.      Valentina emigrated from Valencia, Venezuela, at age 23, due to overwhelming social and political issues. She left behind her family and friends to pursue the American dream. Valentina is 30 now and has made Philly her home for the last 5 years.      Aaron is an ambassador and tech rep for On Running, who discovered his equilibrium by having the courage to accept and welcome his queer identity. Aaron became an inspiration for others when he learned to be who he is and realized that his story, a gay black man living in America today, is just as important as anyone else’s story.     Equilibrium was painted by prolific Philly muralist Erik Okdeh, curated by Mural Miles, and  is located at 907 S. 7th Street in South Philly.      To learn more about:     Valentina please visit: @valvianac     Aaron please visit: @aaronleon111     Erik Okdeh visit: @okdehmurals     Mural Miles visit: @muralmiles     Running Times with Gagz is proudly sponsored by www.philadelphiarunner.com

Hear for yourself why Ultrarunning Magazine recently described him as the bearded, wizened soul who runs to a higher vibe.   Eddie is a devotional runner currently ensconced in a 3+ yr streak averaging almost 11 miles per day.
