Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hein.

I'm your host Lindsay and I'm so grateful you're here today.

This is a show where I interview professional and everyday runners and I have a really fun episode for you today.

Today you're listening to episode 311 and I'm talking with JJ Santana.

I want to give a shout out to listener Jacelle because she actually sent myself and Emma, my assistant, an email to share with us about JJ's running and what he's up to and suggested him as a guest.

Never be hesitant or shy to reach out to us and suggest guests for the show.

So JJ recently paced Sarah Hall at the marathon project and he debuted the marathon at CIM in 2019 in a time of 21726, qualifying him for the Olympic trials.

So that was his first marathon at the age of 32. He is 34 now and has massive dreams for this sport.

And so the fact that he debuted that marathon in 2017 and is just really getting rock and rollin with the marathon thing is super exciting.

So you're going to want to make sure that you start following JJ.

You can find him on Instagram. He's underscore JJ underscore Santana.

And this was a really long conversation. I actually cut out a few pieces here and there because it was so long and I'm going to leave those extended pieces over on Patreon.

So I've pulled those out and if you want to hear the extra 15 to 20 minutes that we have that I took out of the conversation, you can find that extended version on Patreon.

And so if you support the show at $5 or more per month, you can get access to that.

Along with so many other things, I'm actually putting out weekly episodes on Patreon now. So every single Wednesday you get an episode on Patreon for anybody who supports the show.

So if you go to patreon.com slash Lindsey Heine, you can get access to all of that as well as this extended conversation with JJ Santana.

Alright friends, I am pumped to bring on a new sponsor here. This is a company that I am so excited about and that is picky bars.

Holy crap, I feel like I have to just start by saying if you have not tried the drizzle, which is an almond butter topping with super food, Maca that tastes good on literally almost everything, your life is not complete.

This drizzle is so delicious and you don't need very much of it to get this really flavorful delicious taste.

But more importantly, here's a thing, picky bars are made with products that are easy to digest, they're natural, they are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and 100% non-GMO.
