Welcome back to Leave Average for Joe, the podcast where we dive deep with extraordinary people who are breaking molds, challenging the status quo, and offering real-world wisdom for anyone ready to leave “average” behind.
This week, host Briggs sits down with a guest who truly embodies what it means to push boundaries-on the track, in business, and in life. From Colorado, please welcome Neely Spence Gracey: Olympic Trials qualifying runner, soon-to-be mom of three boys, business owner (@getrunningcoaching), running coach, and co-author of Breakthrough Women’s Running.
Neely’s story is nothing short of remarkable. She’s a four-time U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier, the top American finisher at the 2016 Boston Marathon, and a world record holder for the fastest stroller mile-clocking an incredible 5:24 while pushing her son around the track in Denver. As the founder of Get Running Coaching, Neely has helped over a thousand athletes chase their own breakthroughs. Her journey weaves together elite-level competition, entrepreneurship, and motherhood, all while inspiring a new generation of runners to dream bigger and run bolder.
In this episode, Neely shares the lessons learned from her record-breaking pursuits, how she balances training with family and business, and why she believes anyone-no matter where they start-can break through their own barriers. Whether you’re a runner, a parent, or just someone looking to leave “average” in the dust, Neely’s insights and personal stories will light a fire under your goals.
So lace up, get inspired, and join us as we welcome Neely Spence Gracey to Leave Average for Joe.
