The first-ever video version of Set the Pace launches this week at the Peloton Studios in NYC, as Rob and Becs interview Queens-born N.O.R.E., who burst onto the scene in the late 1990s as one half of the hip-hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga. Find out how this hip-hop veteran went from “Noreaga” to “marathon runner,” and why he’s embracing health and wellness with the same passion that he’s brought to his music career.
Set the Pace: How ADA Hero Deborah McFadden Paved the Way for Disability Equality
Joining the show this week is Deborah McFadden, a trailblazer in disability rights who played a key role in passing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Deborah became determined to fight for disability equality and was later appointed U.S. Commissioner of Disabilities under President George H.W. Bush. The ADA transformed public life by mandating curb cuts, ramps, accessible restrooms, and equal access to education and employment. She's the mother of Paralympic athletes Tatyana and Hannah McFadden.

EJ Baker hopes to bring more visibility to the importance of having a nonbinary division in running. While EJ enjoyed other sports such as roller derby and competitive body building, they found that running gave them confidence in their own strength that other sports hadn’t, and having the opportunity to run in their own division was affirming.
