On this week’s Weathering The Run, I sit down with Chris Glover who is a cornerstone of the Columbus running community known for bringing people together, spreading joy in the sport, and building connection one mile at a time. Whether it’s organizing group runs, showing up in a superhero outfit, or simply cheering on fellow runners, Chris’s enthusiasm and servant’s heart define his approach to running and life. He also has his own podcast called Safe Space Running. Follow Chris on Instagram.

We dive deep with Drew Petersen about his film "Feel It All" and his life in the mountains; from ski mountaineering to 100-mile ultramarathons, and how weather, terrain, and mental health are all intertwined in his story. We also recount some of his wildest experiences, like getting over 5 inches of snow per hour while in Japan, and the mindset required to navigate that kind of unpredictability.

"Feel It All" chronicles Drew’s journey from suicidal depression to discovering strength and purpose; culminating in his decision to run the Leadville Trail 100 ultramarathon, while skiing and running through Colorado’s high-peaks. The film seeks to break the stigma around mental illness and suicide, especially within mountain and outdoor communities.

In this inspiring episode of Weathering The Run, I sit down with Jaime Fensterl, a trail and ultra runner based in Ohio. Jaime is no stranger to the ups and downs of endurance racing: she’s tackled 100-mile ultras where she’s faced her fair share of heartbreak & injury, yet keeps coming back stronger. She just finished Rim To River 100 after taking a long break from 100 miles races, due to injury.

Jaime’s journey is a testament to grit and perseverance. She’s not afraid to go back out, learn from the hard runs, and reset her goals. Whether she’s covering 50K, 100K, or 100 miles, Jaime’s philosophy is grounded in consistency, self-kindness, and embracing the process; not just chasing the finish line. We also dive into what motivates her, how she mentally rebuilds after tough races, and why the journey matters just as much as the result.
