2024 United Airlines NYC Half: Interviews with the Champions

Happy race week, listeners! For this episode of Set the Pace, hosts Rob and Meb talk to acclaimed chef Daniel Humm of the three Michelin star restaurant Eleven Madison Park. Chef Daniel is the owner of Make It Nice, the hospitality group behind Eleven Madison Park, where he's been executive chef since 2006. He’s also been a member of NYRR since 2007 and has run 39 NYRR races. Before becoming a world-class chef, he was a professional cyclist in his home country of Switzerland but after an injury he turned to cooking full time. He said cooking is like a team sport and that you can have the most beautiful restaurant in the world, but it means nothing without an incredible team. He and Meb reminisce about Meb pacing him during the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon and giving him the motivation he needed to push through the difficult climb up Fifth Avenue.

Running and Cooking as a Team Sport: Chatting with Chef Daniel Humm

This week, New York City Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh joins Set the Pace to talk to listeners about her experience being the first woman to take on the role. As Fire Commissioner, overseeing 17,000 employees and managing a $2 billion budget, she's been at the forefront of major responses, from the Ebola outbreak in 2015 to the COVID-19 pandemic. For her, being the first woman in the role is about figuring out what tools she can bring that may not have been traditionally used before. An avid runner, Commissioner Kavanagh has completed two New York City Marathons and says it’s really special running through the different neighborhoods. Even when she’s not running, she’s tracking her friends and making her way around the city to cheer them on with handmade signs.
