Episode 653: CNO Financial Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Recap with Ally Brettnacher and Emily Infeld

·44 min·2 clips

Emily Infeld says young runners should not equate speed with weight or give up dessert.

Lindsay opens by thanking runners who showed up for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, the Half Marathon, and the 5K. She sounds genuinely happy to see familiar faces, the smiles, and the chance to emcee the race. The conversation quickly gets to the men’s marathon course record, which fell by three minutes from 2:15 to 2:12. Lindsay also points out how many Olympic Trials qualifiers came through the race. Allie Brettnacher joins the recap as Lindsay’s friend and a member of the All Have Another podcast, and she brings her own perspective as the host of Finish Lines and Milestones, where she interviews everyday runners. Emily Infeld is there too, and the episode centers on her role as the guest of honor at Monumental. Emily helped start the race and stood at the finish line handing out medals. Lindsay reminds listeners that they did an interview at the expo and that Emily also joined her for the live podcast event. A lot of the fun comes from Lindsay trying to remember families, places, and names on the fly. That loose, conversational rhythm gives the recap some charm. The conversation also lands on the people who showed up, including local kids and young runners from TJ Daly’s Misha track club. Lindsay and Allie talk about how nice it was to see nervous kids come up for a picture before the room filled up. The race-day crowd becomes part of the story, not just the backdrop. The episode stays friendly and unrushed throughout, and it closes by thanking the audience, the guests, and the sponsors who supported the live event. It ends with gratitude and a clear hope that Monumental will be back next year.
