Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

5: Amputee Running: The Fit, The Miles, and The Path Forward with Adam Popp
Q: What should new para athletes focus on first when starting their journey?
Getting access to a running blade is essential, but beyond that, connect with organizations that can provide blades, seek out communities, and approach sponsorships with a plan for mutual benefit rather than expecting to be a token athlete.
5: Amputee Running: The Fit, The Miles, and The Path Forward with Adam Popp
Q: What was the biggest barrier to you getting back into running after your injury?
The major hurdles were getting a functioning blade and a socket that fit well enough to allow safe, pain-minimized running, plus the challenge of finding support and resources to obtain running prosthetics.
1: How Two Adaptive Athletes Are Rewriting Endurance Sports
Q: Zach, how did you get into trail running and secure sponsorship in a space that didn't have much disability representation at the time?
I started by getting a blade after a rough experience with an early prosthetic company; once I tried it, I began seeking out trail opportunities, educated myself through races and videos, and then connected with the right people who believed in me, which eventually led to sponsorship and a global racing presence.
3: After The Paralympics: What Athletes Need to Know About the Post-Games Blues
Q: What differences stood out between your first and third Paralympics?
Dani notes that the third Games had more spectators and media presence, but also less of the initial dazzle for veterans; she emphasizes staying connected with first-timers to preserve awe while maintaining focus on competition.
3: After The Paralympics: What Athletes Need to Know About the Post-Games Blues
Q: How are you doing after the Paralympics?
Dani explains she's in a recovery phase, having just returned from multiple long trips and a changeable sleep/training cycle, with some sickness during the Games but a push to restart training for the next season.
