In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

58:57

This episode of The Checkpoint is sponsored by adidas TERREX. Abby Hall is a professional trail runner for adidas TERREX. She started running at the age of 12 and has never stopped! She fell in love with running, both the pursuit and the community and – as an adult - continued running when she was living in Chicago and Los Angeles, working as a graphic designer. She started to make trips to the mountains on the weekends and moved to Boulder, Colorado with a view to be part of a community eager to explore the outdoors. In Boulder, Abby signed up for a number of ultras and attended every group trail run she could find, exploring the trails and mountains. She now lives in Flagstaff, Arizona and over the past few years has been racing all over the world. Recently, Abby has finished 1st at the Innsbruck Alpine Trail Festival 65k, 2nd at the 2022 Transgrancanaria Classic (126km), 2nd in the prestigious 2021 UTMB-CCC race and she has also finished Western States 100 amongst the top 30 athletes. Abby is part of the adidas TERREX ‘United by Summits’ campaign and we discuss what that message means to her in this conversation.

Ep 37. How To Handle Hills 48:27

منذ 3 years48:27

48:27

This episode of The Checkpoint is sponsored by Adidas Terrex. In this episode, the first in our new ‘How To’ series, run coaches Sabrina and Rachel are talking about hills! They address questions from the community including: - How do you train for a hilly trail race when you live on the flat? - What is a ‘technical’ trail? - Do you have to use poles? - How do you improve your downhill running technique? - What can you do to avoid injury on the up and downhills? It was a fun and (hopefully) informative conversation. We’d love to hear what you think about this episode, so please drop us a comment and also let us know what other topics you’d like us to cover in future ‘How To’ eps!

Ep 36. The Speed Project 1:03:16

منذ 3 years1:03:16

1:03:16

This episode of The Checkpoint podcast is supported by Adidas Terrex. Earlier this year, Black Trail Runners won a grant from Ciele Athletics to send a team to compete in The Speed Project. If you don’t know what The Speed Project is, you’re not alone. Taking place once a year in non-Covid times, it’s an extreme challenge that proudly espouses a ‘no spectators’ philosophy. In simple terms it’s a running relay. But it’s much more than that, because it’s a relay over 340 miles, from Santa Monica on the California coast to Las Vegas in Nevada. It’s a relay that traverses Death Valley. It’s a relay with effectively no rules. Teams self-navigate and self-support, with runners and crew sharing large RVs (that’s a Recreational Vehicle, or camper van, to our UK listeners). Technically it’s not a trail race, but it has many of the features of one. Varied terrain. Extreme weather conditions. A need to manage nutrition, pacing and logistics. And frankly, it’s epic! BTR’s team of six flew into Los Angeles a couple of days before, some of them meeting for the first time, and some of them being in America for the first time. Angela, Deo, Jazmin, Laurence, Nethliee and Tony were supported by a three-man crew from the US – Dan, Gordon and Kevin. Having had only 10 weeks or so to train for the event, our team’s goal was about challenging themselves, about the experience, and about representing the BTR community in what, despite, or perhaps because of its mystique, is an iconic event. A couple of weeks after they returned from the US, Sonny spoke to some of the team about their experience. First Jazmin, then Laurence, Deo, Angela and Tony.…

Over the past few years, since taking his training to the next level due to working with the well-respected coach – David Roche – Adam has podiumed, and won, some impressive US based trail races. He thrives through hard work, dedication, finding joy in the process and having fun while being super consistent with his training cycles. Adam - a mixed race man – was encouraged to go for a trail run six years ago.

Ep 27. Live in Epping Forest - BTR Trail Taster Event 45:43

45:43

This episode of The Checkpoint podcast is sponsored by The North Face®. In episode 27 we take you behind scenes at the trail taster event which took place 27 November 2021 at Epping Forest. There was a group of more than 20 runners, including a contingent from our friends Emancipated Run Crew, many of whom were running on the trails for the very first time. We were hosted by Camino Ultra and Orion Harriers Running Club. Regis Martin from Camino gave a map-reading and navigation workshop, focused on the route we would later run. Darren Strachan from Camino shared trail running kit advice. Then it was out into the cold of late November for a run along the grass and leaf-strewn trails of the largest ancient woodland in the south of England, with views across London from Pole Hill, 91m high on the Greenwich Meridian. So much fun was had that some of the group went out and ran the route again, finishing with some night-running practice! In this conversation we share firstly some of the key learnings from the workshops that you can apply. And secondly you can listen to some of the great conversations we had on the trails. We have plans in place for more trail tasters events in 2022. We’ll be heading to the Lakes, to Wales, the South Downs and elsewhere.
