We sat down with Emily Ellison the executive director of the St Simons Land Trust and learned about her journey from being a writer to leading non profits. Her tenacity doesn't end there. She also likes to go on really long hikes. Find out more in this episode. You can learn more about the Land Trust by visiting: www.sslt.org and on Instagram @stsimonslandtrust.

We haven't gone anywhere!  Our fall has been extremely busy with race directing and coaching.  This kept us out of the studio and paused our production.  Fear not! We're back in the studio putting the finishing touches on the conversations we completed in the early fall.  Season two will come back in 2022 and we're excited about the conversations we have lined up.  Let's go for a run!

Back from our short break! We went on a run with Jean Knaack. Jean and I first met when I was the Georgia state representative for the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). She is the Chief Executive Officer of the RRCA where she has served in the role since 2005. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay where she earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Nutrition. She earned a Master’s of Public Administration with a concentration in nonprofit management from George Mason University. She has extensive skills in organizational and financial development, board and member relations, and program planning and implementation. She finished the inaugural Ironman Louisville (2007), Ironman France (2009), Ironman Coeur D’Alen (2010), and DNF’d Ironman Maryland (2017).

By way of introduction I’m Rogelio Quintanar aka Coach Q. I’m a certified running coach and race director that has been a part of the endurance community for over 35 years. I’ve run races from fun runs to ultras and race directed the same. Over the course of my tenure in the distance community I’ve met all sorts of players that inhabited that world. I want to invite you to join us at the Lane One podcast to hear conversations, discussions, and debates with the colorful characters that inhabit the running and endurance ecosystem. Each conversation will take the listener into the world of the well known and not so well known provocateurs that are the heart and soul of this world. But the conversation won’t stop there. We’ll also chat with the lesser known stars that inhabit this world such as the timers, the emts, the volunteers, and the waste management to gain their perspective and hear their stories. The conversation is always casual and the topics on point.
