This week, Becs speaks with Sof Camacho about Sof's breakout year in distance running—winning the nonbinary division at the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon in 2:31:29 and, just weeks later, finishing the Valencia Marathon in 2:29:15, one of the fastest marathon times ever run by a nonbinary athlete. By day, Sof is chasing PRs and coaching other runners to find their potential; by night, they create art through tattooing as well as performing onstage as their drag persona Xana Whoria. Sof shares why their Mexican heritage inspires them every day and that letting go of perfection helped them push further than they ever imagined. Plus, ultramarathoner Jen Curtis joins the show for this week’s Member Moment. Jen has completed 24 marathons and, earlier this year, took on The Speed Project—a 300-mile race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. She also supports mental health awareness through her family’s nonprofit, 4TeamBrock, dedicated to her brother who struggled with mental health.
