In this Fireside Chat episode, we meet Christi Dee—marathoner, ultrarunner, author, and endurance coach—for an inspiring conversation on what it means to fully commit to your passion. Christi shares how her running journey sparked a writing career focused on children’s books like Can a Frog Jog? and Maya Runs a Marathon, helping fill a gap in early childhood literature with stories about endurance and perseverance.
From her first half marathon to 43 marathons and 17 ultras, Christi’s “all or nothing” mindset has shaped her personal growth and coaching philosophy. She opens up about the mental strategies and mantras that keep her moving forward, the deep connection between running and writing, and why risk-taking is a necessary part of the endurance journey.
Whether you’re racing your first 5K or training for your next ultra, this episode delivers honest insights about pacing yourself—not just in miles, but in life. Perfect for endurance athletes looking for motivation, this podcast celebrates niche storytelling, mindset, and the joy of showing up.
