Hellah Sidibe: [00:00:48] Good. Good. Thank you for your kind words.

Joe Borchard: [00:00:51] No, listen, I hello. I mean it, in, in, you know, we live in Rochelle park and I know you do too. And when we see you running around, we're like, Hey, that's the guy, that's 

Christine Borchard: [00:01:00] the guy, that's the guy. 

Joe Borchard: [00:01:06] So we're so excited that you could be on with us, you know, all season long, you've been helping our, our, , Our listeners and giving them tips and tricks about how to run and giving them motivation to run and start their own run streaks. And, , you've been given some great information to our listeners.

So I really want to thank you. I know our listeners, people have written us and said, Hey, listen, when are you going to interview hella? When are you going to hit the interview? Hell yeah, I think this season we saved the best for last. And we're excited to have you on the show.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:01:37] Thank you so much.

Joe Borchard: [00:01:38] So, , hello. Let's , why don't you tell us well, before you tell us a little bit about yourself, I do want to acknowledge, , today's a big day for you today.

If, , if I'm not mistaken, something special happened, what, , what happened today on, , your YouTube channel?

Hellah Sidibe: [00:01:52] Well, I woke up this morning to seeing that, , , we got up to 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, , which is what is, thank you. That's like, it's pretty insane to me to know that 200,000 people took time out of their day to click the subscription button on my channel just to follow the journey. So it was just, it was, , it was, it was a.

I the feeling I couldn't wrap my head around it. Cause it's insane to think that amount of people just in general. So just feeling grateful about it.

Joe Borchard: [00:02:21] that's great. God bless you. That's awesome. That's awesome. That really is. That's quite an accomplishment. 200,000 people. Are interested in 

Christine Borchard: [00:02:29] his life. 

Joe Borchard: [00:02:30] That's amazing. Good for you.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:02:32] Thank you.

Joe Borchard: [00:02:33] So why don't you bring it back for us? Mmm. How did you get into running and, well, even let me go back. I know you're, , you started out as an athletic, , as an athlete in, interested in soccer,

Hellah Sidibe: [00:02:44] Yes. Yes.

Joe Borchard: [00:02:46] why don't you bring this? Why don't you start us from how you transitioned from soccer, into running.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:02:51] Yeah. So I, I grew up in West Africa, Mali, and born and raised there. And Molly is a, a country. That's just the only spoil that we really focused on. We love his soccer. So from the time that you can really walk, you're trying to play. Cause you see all this playing. So we grew up playing the game, fell in love with the game and, , came to the U S and I continued playing and, , got to play in high school.

, got opportunity to play division one and got opportunity to play at the professional level too as well. So I love the game so much, but one thing that I really hated, , Especially at, during my college days, I've never had to run so much in my life was running. And then I know the game of soccer. You cannot play without running, but that you're doing other things.

You're chasing the ball. You're defending you're, you're jping, you're tackling, you're heading. So you're not just focused solely on running. There's more stuff that's going on that keeps your mind distracted and focused on other areas. So it wasn't bad, but when it comes to. The fitness days where you just go out there and just run sprints or doing a couple of miles, the Cooper test running two miles under 12 minutes.

All of that, I did not like that at all. That wasn't something that I, and then I do would say that even the fact that we ran so much in college, it made me even have more fear onto her running. So, , fast forward to 2017, , I was on sitting there and I was thinking to myself, I'm always trying to be consistent at something in life and.

Whenever I try to do, when it's the gym, it only lasts three days. I never kind of stick to it. And I'm, I'm watching a, I'm a huge car enthusiast. I'm watching this call YouTube channel, , this guy, and then by the name of Paul Wallace, he has a YouTube channel called super cars of London. He said that I'm going to try giving running for 2017 new year's resolution.

And that was in January. So I just said to myself, this guy has never been an athlete in his life and he wanted to give running or try, and I've been an athlete. So I kind of have some kind of. Understanding of that and why can I not do it? And, , and I also like how I looked, post-season assing you're done playing in the season, you're in the best shape of your life.

I like that. Look of myself, how I feel. And I said, well, it's a win, win situation. Let me try to run to keep that shape. If I'm not playing, it has to be running. So how can I face the running and not be afraid of it? And for once hold myself accountable because. I was making excuses and some of them were valid, but I didn't focus on what I can control.

So I just decided to tell myself, let me get out there just for two weeks to run 10 minutes a day. , it didn't matter how fast I went. , as long as I just for 10 minutes and just enjoy the run running without doing a pressure with any pressure, pressure feels the most important part. So the fact that I had no pressure to go at a certain pace to cover a certain distance.

I fell in love with it. And the two weeks go within the weekend, I was running more than 10 minutes. And, , I went to my girl and I said, ah, I actually can see myself doing this for the rest of my life, but let me not get ahead of myself. Why don't we try for 365 days straight? And that's how the streak started.

And I didn't even know streaking was a thing at all. I had no idea, never heard of it until I got into it. And, , people talked about it and here we are today, , day, 1,192 consecutive

Unknown: [00:05:46] Oh, 

Christine Borchard: [00:05:46] my 

Joe Borchard: [00:05:47] that's amazing. I'm going back to where you didn't even like running, like riding.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:05:56] My stomach used to drop, I couldn't sleep. , some nights before fitness added at every time, the course that you have a day off, I didn't like that because I know after the day off, it's all fitness. That's fine. But he said, Oh, your legs are fresh now. And then he runs us. So I was running. Wasn't a thing at all.

Christine Borchard: [00:06:11] We had a guest on Mary Ellen and she challenged us to do a run streak. And I did it for two weeks and I was, I felt great about myself, but that was it. I did 14 days and tap them out. Congrats to you.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:06:25] Thank you.

Joe Borchard: [00:06:26] So Helen, you know, doing that much running besides how you look. Like, is it also because I know a lot of the people that we talked to, there's kind of like a Zen feeling that goes over you when you run.

Do you have that too? What, when, when you're running

Hellah Sidibe: [00:06:43] it's not so much like, I mean, Zen, the way I understand Zen is like, you're calm and then you're like peace of mind. , for me, it's more of like, I feel invincible. , I feel like I can do anything. I put my mind to, , that's what running does to me. And then though the feeling of it after you finished that run, no matter how hard it is that post run feeling, that feeling that you get is just unexplainable.

, So I was looking forward to that. And then the days when I'm in the middle of running, when I'm struggling, and I just think about how this is going to make me feel when I'm done, , versus the pain that I'm feeling at that moment. And it does, it does bring a little bit of peace to the head because, , I daydream when I run.

So, but more of it is how it makes me feel. I mean, I feel invincible. I feel like I can do anything I put my mind to and I feel accomplished when I'm done.

Joe Borchard: [00:07:25] Yeah, that's that runner's high. That's a, it's a runner's high that everybody talks about that you get, you know, whether it be right after race during a race, during a run, a train.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:07:35] Yeah.

Joe Borchard: [00:07:36] , 

Christine Borchard: [00:07:36] but I don't know about that. Mayday straight for me. I need a couch day, 

Joe Borchard: [00:07:42] dedication, dedication. Like I gotta be honest with you.

Hell is so, so one of the guests that we had on like, like my wife was saying, , she's a fan of yours. She started her own run streak. She's on, , I forget how many 

Christine Borchard: [00:07:55] she's on yours too. 

Joe Borchard: [00:07:57] I think she was like on 800 days if I'm not mistaken. So, , She's like, listen, hell has got a run street. You can do a run streak.

So my wife and I were like, all right, we're going to do this. And, , it was just so funny. Like there were nights where we came home from work and here it was we're on the couch and it's like nine 30 at night. And we're like, Oh my God, we got to go for this run. What do we do? I did it. Oh, I did that. We did it.

Yeah. But you're right. Like, there's a sense of accomplishment out of it, you know? My idea of, of, of streaks. I mean, that's, I did that back in my college days. We used to streak the commons, but, , so Ella, let me ask you another question. So actually, , you just finished the, you did the marathon this year for the first time, is that correct? The New York city marathon.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:08:48] Yes. Yes.

Joe Borchard: [00:08:50] And, , if you can just tell me a little bit about the, , the New York city marathon, your experience with it.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:08:55] Yeah. It was the best race I've ever done. I've done a couple of races, nothing. , when I started running the goal, wasn't anything about racing? That was not the thing. I just wanted to fall in love with running. And, , and till this day, yes, I erased, but that's not the goal. Cause if the goal for me is to raise and PR, , it wouldn't make sense for me to streak like this.

I would have to change up my training method a little bit because, , you you're not getting any rest days. So when I found that I got into the New York city marathon, , I had to kind of typically in days to go slower, but still keeping it my distance at a certain amount. So it wasn't like taking any doubt.

So when I got him that was over 900 days of running. Onto the New York city marathon. And it was an amazing experience from the start to the finish, the amount of people that support. It was just insane. , you're full on energy. , the only time it was a little weird when we hit that two mile bridge, when it's just empty, it's just silence all you hear just stomping and heavy breathing.

, but it was just insane that people got up that early to support runners. , do what they love. And I couldn't explain that shielding. And then when people say that, once you do it, you want to do it again. I never understood that I did it. And I said, if I have to do any more race than it would be my last, I would say the New York city marathon, even though it's my only first marathon that I've done as a race.

So it was unbelievable that experience.

Christine Borchard: [00:10:12] So the people are Rochelle park. Don't come out and cheer you on when you get up at five in the morning for your, , your runs.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:10:17] anybody's off at that point, but I do see a couple of people here in there and saying hi and stuff. Yeah.

Joe Borchard: [00:10:24] So, hello. I gotta tell you a funny story. So, , And it goes to, so you just recently did the, , the New York city subway challenge,

Hellah Sidibe: [00:10:32] Yes,

Joe Borchard: [00:10:33] And that was 275

Hellah Sidibe: [00:10:35] 240 245 miles.

Joe Borchard: [00:10:38] 245 miles. And you did it in the credible seven days. If I'm not

Hellah Sidibe: [00:10:41] yes, yes. Correct.

Joe Borchard: [00:10:44] I gotta give you kudos because each day you dedicated your run to, , To another person to support the black lives movement.

, and, and it was what a great idea. And it was nice that you were, you were really highlighting some, , Some special people, but, , Christine, you, you want to tell them that the story that you hello? So you 

Christine Borchard: [00:11:03] probably might not even know it's me. So I know you do the, , the end of our podcast and I never saw you before.

And I wasn't on Instagram. I just, I I've heard of you. So. I, I forget what happened. I think my husband showed me your YouTube channel. So I was running in Rochelle park and I saw you and I flagged you down. And I said, hello, it's me, Christine from John Christine's podcast. And I thought you said I'm out for a three to five mile run.

So I didn't think anything. So then yeah. I was talking to Willie, the producer, and he goes, no, Christine, he's doing 35 miles a day. So I totally ruined your rhyme. And I am so sorry.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:11:45] no problem. I remember seeing you were on top of a Rochelle lab,

Christine Borchard: [00:11:49] Yes, they get to myself. The last thing you want to do at the end of your run is to sit and talk to me. I'm so embarrassed.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:11:58] No, you're fine. Because at that point I'm like a little brick won't hurt if I stop pausing my wife's real quick. Cause it was a

Christine Borchard: [00:12:02] I'm so sorry.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:12:05] it wasn't a losing situation. It was in fact, I had a reason to stop and say hi to you

Christine Borchard: [00:12:10] I had no idea. I didn't know anything about your challenges. So I said, Oh, he was so nice. He was out for three to five mile run.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:12:26] It's one of those things. What I got to was, , using, , the privilege that I have to kind of shine light on something that we're going through. So, , a lot of the stuff that's going on in this world, and we all get to see an app because of technology and social media and this New York city subway system challenge was something that I saw and I wanted to challenge myself it.

And then I realized that running is bigger than me. So what can I do to make this a bigger thing? So it was when the George flood that happened. And, , I dedicated the first run to him and my message to people was that, , just do the right thing. , it's not about this versus this we're all one. And we should all come together as equal and then just do what's right.

, because at the end of the day, we are very similar than, , being different and I wanted it people to hear those people, our story we're talking about George floss, Andra, , Trayvon Martin Amalia. Arbery. , , Brianna tailors. So, so people can hear their story through their loved ones, because sometimes what happened is media or social media.

I try to have something to give them an excuse. And even though no one has the right to take one's life on, that's why we have the judicial system I wanted, like, for example, you to, , your family members know you better than I do. So I wanted to have their story told through their family members. So any little piece that I wrote about them was what people said about them that knew them personally.

And, , the whole point was just to make sure that, , everybody is treated equally and, and it could be anybody. And even though my Arbor is just a guy that went on a job and I'm going through different towns that I've never been to, , for the last three years. And I'm in this area. So people know me well, but there are certain times that I run through people.

I have no idea who I am in and I could be a target. So it was one of those things that I felt like it was good to use my ability to run, to bring attention to it, and then making sure that I was donating. To that direct cause of those family members, not just black lives matter movement, but to the direct cause that what people, , that they need help with, , whether that's what their lawyers or whatever that they're doing to make sure that that justice is brought forward.

So it was, it was one of my favorite week of running because every time I was in pain, it was a long run. I was in pain. My thinking was. , no matter how much pain I'm in, I'll never experience what their family went through or what they're still going through or what some of these individuals went through, especially the last minutes of their lives.

So that was one of the thing that kept me motivated to keep pushing forward and not complaining about any pain. I was enduring throughout 35 miles a day for a week.

Joe Borchard: [00:14:53] No, that was great. And, , what a strong message to, and thank you for sharing that because now more than ever, I think we just need to hear positive stories and we need to hear, , more messages like that. So thank you for sharing that.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:15:05] Yeah, no problem.

Joe Borchard: [00:15:08] I'm sorry, I still go back to it. When my wife goes, no, he said he was red in three to five.

No, that was 30, 35 miles.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:15:15] Yeah,

Christine Borchard: [00:15:16] I couldn't comprehend it. I couldn't comprehend.

Joe Borchard: [00:15:21] So, hello. , I also know you have another project that you working on right now. , I'm not sure, so sure how much you can show or to tell us about the, , your next project. But if you can tease a little bit to our lists, snooze, and some of your followers about what the project you're working on right now.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:15:39] Yeah. I'm working with a Roadrunner sports. , we have one on route four, actually. , it's a dedicated running store. , the it's all about running shoes, apparel, everything running. , so I'm working with them doing some DACA series. So it's going to be, I have my own story and there's going to be a couple more people with their own story.

So basically the title of the series, , make every mile account. , so I share my passion for running what got me into running and. , what, how I make it right account. So that's basically, so you're going to see a in depth story for me and other, a few other people. , and how I got going and see a lot of running footages.

We ran a lot when we were shooting, it was exciting. , a lot of running happened or the distance running that the speed agility that I do, the parachutes, we did a lot of stuff. We got to go to Hoboken the city line and. Yeah, so I'm looking forward to it. So I think the goal is to have it out by the fall or sometime in a month or two.

So once it's out, I'll make sure that I let you guys know.

Joe Borchard: [00:16:42] Oh, that's great.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:16:44] Yeah.

Joe Borchard: [00:16:44] Now, , I hope we're not gonna, we're not going to spoil too much, but you know, talking about every mile accounts, one of the, the goals of this podcast is, is to find out why people run and, and to hear. They run because that's hence the title of the, yes. So, so hello. You run a crazy amount of miles.

You have an insane nber of followers on YouTube, Instagram. , you're an absolute pleasure to talk to too, but I, I think our listeners want to know why, why do you run.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:17:21] , you know, the thing is I always come back to, it's a privilege that not everybody has. I have both of my legs. , I've many times in my life, countless amount of time. I see people who are amputated. , we're talking about war veterans. We're talking about freak accidents. , people would do anything to walk a little on a run.

So this is something that I have. So in the back of my head, I'm kind of. Running for them representing them too. , and the personal goal part for me to hold myself accountable and stop making excuses that I'm past that because I prove it to myself that I can I'll do anything I set my mind to. So at this point, it's not about proving myself right anymore.

It's doing it for anything that's bigger than me. , even though I do, I don't do the races because I really want to do the racist. I do it for a reason and my first mile race, I dedicated to suicide awareness. , , the race that I did after that of the half marathon on new a family and wipe off who both the mom and the daughter were terminally ill with cancer.

So I ran on their behalf and we made sure that we were raising money for them. So there's a purpose behind it for me. So I run for, for others, for other people that are in need. And I use my privilege having both of my legs and I'm doing it because at the end of the day, when everything said stop today on day 1000.

192 consecutive days of running outside took advantage of those day 1,192 days by actually running. , so it's, it becomes more like that reason that I'm motivated and keep on going every single day. , and there's, hasn't been a day where I felt like I don't want to do this and that if that day comes when I'm completely not, I will not force myself and then I would stop then.

But, , as the way it's looking, it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon.

Joe Borchard: [00:18:57] That's great. That's great. The street continues right.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:19:00] Exactly. Exactly.

Joe Borchard: [00:19:01] hello this season. We, , so Christine and I, we were both part of Achilles New Jersey and Achilles is a running organization that payers, , disabled are able to different able bodied people with a 

Christine Borchard: [00:19:15] guide 

Joe Borchard: [00:19:17] guide guide runners and, , So many of the people that we interviewed the season, and so many of our colleagues and our friends all have the, almost a very similar reason why they run that they like me.

They like to run because there's other people who can't do it. And you're right. When, when we, when we run and we guide with other people, there's, there's no greater feeling than, and sense of accomplishment knowing that you helped somebody else. You had to cross that finish line. 

Christine Borchard: [00:19:44] And it helps me too. Yeah, it's not, it's not just one sided.

I, we get

Hellah Sidibe: [00:19:47] Yeah. And so it's a win, win situation. It really

Christine Borchard: [00:19:50] is. 

Joe Borchard: [00:19:51] So w with that segue, hello, I'm going to throw, so this, , this season, you throw a couple of challenges at our listeners. You gave them tips and tricks, , but nobody's, nobody's throwing a challenge at you. So, , , my wife's looking at me right now. Like I'm crazy.

So I'm going to throw a challenge at you. Hello.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:20:08] Let me hear it.

Joe Borchard: [00:20:09] so the challenge is our Achilles group. We meet times a week and, , two times a week, we meet on Sundays and we meet on Wednesdays and we'd love to have you come and join. Join us one weekend or one day for a, a jog and, and be able to run with some of our athletes and get to meet some of our athletes.

We have visually impaired. We have autistic runners. We have,

Hellah Sidibe: [00:20:32] I would love to do that. Definitely. Yes. Without a doubt.

Joe Borchard: [00:20:36] My wife's looking at me like I'm crazy. Wow.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:20:40] I'm definitely down for that.

Christine Borchard: [00:20:42] That's an inspirational group of people. And I know, , a lot of our, , , guides and athletes, , we're very excited today because we just finished running with them and we had to cut our run short to come home and do the interview.

And at least four of them said, can you tell him? I said, hi, I know, I know that you would be like a local celebrity. Yeah, 

Joe Borchard: [00:21:01] listen, we have a local Rochelle parks, a small town. We have, we have a celebrity or running celebrity in town, but. All right, Liz, I'm going to hold you to that hella,

Hellah Sidibe: [00:21:12] Yes, of course. Sure.

Joe Borchard: [00:21:14] I know you're a busy guy, so I don't want to keep you much longer, but, , listen, I want to thank you really personally.

, it was great having you this season and some of the tips and trips, , tips and tricks, and the motivation that you gave our listeners was fantastic. Really appreciate you. , you're doing that. , If you, if you want, if you can give us a quick shout out, where can, , where can people follow you on Instagram?

Where can they follow you on, on YouTube?

Hellah Sidibe: [00:21:37] Yeah, I'm on YouTube. Hello? Good. It's H E L L E H G O D. And also on Instagram. Hello? Good. H E L L H G O D. But with the nber nine Asher on Instagram, , I got that nickname, , in college. So, , playing soccer. I had, , my best friend. Who's still my best friend now, , would make signs and other players from other teams, other sports at ass would just bring that to, , to our games and then just have it up.

So when I first created Instagram, I was like, when I just use that name and that's how that started sticking now.

Joe Borchard: [00:22:10] that's great.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:22:11] Yeah. It's there's it's hello? Good.

Joe Borchard: [00:22:14] It's it's it's it's a great name. It's great.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:22:17] Yes. So anything, I always tell people anything you do in life. It's not necessarily me. And since it's part of my name, anything you do, you do a hello.

Good. If you're going for a run run. Hello? Good. If you want to give someone a hug, give them a hello, good. Have a hug at the end of the day, you're just giving your best. That's what it's all about. So that's the message I'm sending everybody and your best varies every single day today. My best might be different than yesterday's, but at the end of the day, if I'm giving my best, I shouldn't really complain.

Compare them. I should just say. Today's circstances different than yesterday. As long as I know I'm giving my best within that circstance. , I just have to be happy with that and that's how you progress. So the hell a good thing is just give your best no matter what

Joe Borchard: [00:22:57] Alright. I love it. Listen, this, this season, I think, , Christine and I, we did a, a hell of a good season. That's it? We gave it our, all this season.

Hellah Sidibe: [00:23:08] I was, I saw you guys, I saw your streak. I saw you on Facebook and everything, Joe. , and on Instagram too, I saw the posts.
