·44 min·3 clips

Jamie says the mind gives out before the body, then uses Louisiana and North Shore to prove it.

1. Run Your Story Podcast focuses on Jme Trichell’s running journey and the community around it. 2. Allison Gilliard hosts, and Jme Trichell, called “Uncle Jamie,” is the guest whose race history and personal losses shape the conversation. 3. The episode asks how a worker at Sanderson Farms became a runner who now talks about family, therapy, and racing goals. 4. Jamie says his first 5K came after Sanderson Farms started a plant race in 2014, and he finished in 27 minutes. 5. He says that first race won him his age group and an iPad, which convinced him running could be competitive and enjoyable. 6. Jamie explains that he searched for local run groups and found Mississippi Coffee Runners because he wanted people to run with. 7. He says the run community gave him 166 races, including 116 5Ks and his first half marathon in 2020. 8. Jamie says he works nights and often runs alone during the day, so seeing friends’ runs on social media pushes him out the door. 9. He connects Fresh Junkie ambassador work to the larger running family and says it let him meet people he would not otherwise have known. 10. Jamie says the ambassador role expanded his race calendar and introduced him to events he would never have attended on his own. 11. Jamie says running is “the cheapest form of therapy,” especially when grief over his brother or stress about bills is heavy. 12. He says there are days when he is not in the mood to run, but seeing others post their morning miles changes his decision. 13. Jamie says he ran seven half marathons last year and learned that the mind gives out before the body. 14. He says a sinus infection during the Louisiana Half Marathon did not stop him from chasing the Beach to Bayou medal. 15. Jamie says North Shore became a lesson in pacing when he missed a personal best by 1 minute and 18 seconds after slowing down too early. 16. He says Louisiana Half Marathon is his favorite because of Baton Rouge crowds, king cake, jello shots, and the Capitol finish. 17. The interview style is loose, conversational, and full of teasing about LSU, race photos, and Jamie’s habit of flexing for pictures. 18. The energy stays warm and playful even when the discussion turns to death, grief, and training setbacks. 19. Runners who like race stories, community talk, and practical motivation will like this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tight technical training podcast may skip it. 21. The show’s title and conversation frame Jamie’s line, “Dream it. Believe it. Do it.” 22. Allison describes PAC Training and PAC 30 Fitness as sponsors that support runners with strength work, endurance, and community events. 23. Jamie says PAC 30 helps runners stay stronger longer on the pavement, which fits the episode’s focus on consistency. 24. He jokes about buying shoes on eBay, keeping extra size 10 Hokas in his trunk, and choosing carbon-plated shoes only for race day. 25. Jamie says he uses Adidas Adios Pro 3s for half marathons, Nike Vaporflys for 5Ks, and Hokas for training. 26. He names Gatorade Endurance, dark chocolate, bagels, and coffee as part of his routine. 27. Jamie also says a post-race stop at Waffle House with a western omelet and waffle is part of his recovery. 28. He describes a race in which a stroller was handed to him at a water station, turning a joke into a sprint to the finish. 29. He says another race led to an overnight stay at a stranger’s house, which later became another example of run-community trust. 30. Allison ends by repeating that Jamie has made her a better person and by saying the running community is a family.
