Better High Podcast

On this episode of the Better High Podcast, we lace up for a conversation about endurance, mindset, and the natural high that comes from pushing beyond what you thought was possible. Guest hosts Dr. Dara Bellace — Fleet Feet Princeton run coach — and podcast audio engineer Steve Blumenthal brave the chilly weather with three runners preparing to take on the Jersey City Marathon: Jenny Castro, Zhen Jin, and Fletcher Grayson.

From early morning training runs to overcoming setbacks, hear what drew them to marathon running and what keeps them moving when the miles get tough. 

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a weekend jogger, or someone simply looking for inspiration, this episode captures the powerful connection between social connection and the achievement of the Runner’s High.
