Summary

Do good, BE great. Sounds simple. From a one-day wake-up call, Emily decided to be a runner. Along the way to becoming an eleven-time marathoner, she quickly adopted a “no failures or mistakes, only lessons” mantra. Ecstatically, Emily shares, “we can learn from everyone; we just have to be willing to listen,” - spoken like a true podcaster and listener. We love sharing our successes, inspiring the next person, and applauding everyone’s attempt. This is the story of a girl that spent her childhood through early adulthood believing what she was told, that she wasn’t a runner. Now, she’s even run the Boston Marathon. 

Emily Abbate is a connector on a mission to empower women to live healthier, happier, and more motivated lives. Now an eleven-time marathoner and triathlete, the veteran wellness journalist (bylines include GQ, Well+Good, Glamour, and more) and former Fitness Editor at SELF Magazine wasn’t always kickstarting her days with runs around Central Park or leading workouts on Good Morning America. Abbate went through a dramatic transformation in college, combatting negative self talk by integrating regular movement and healthier eating practices into her regular routine — ultimately losing 70 pounds and gaining a fresh perspective that catapulted her into a career in the health and fitness space. 

The wellness coach shares these experiences with her audience on Hurdle, acclaimed by The New York Times as “addictive,” with more than 7 million downloads to date. Featured in Health, Shape, and Runner’s World, Abbate aims to empower her audience to feel less alone on their own wellness journeys, and does so through important conversations with everyone from elite athletes to top CEOs and founders. At the core of her mission is authenticity, which she brings not only to the show but also to her on-air commentary and keynote speeches.
