  • New fav long run podcast!

    I’ve been loving ‘Getting Chicked’! The fun conversations make the miles fly by so I always save episodes for my long run. I think I actually passed Karen one time out on the Chicago lakefront while listening haha! The topics are super relevant for women runners and I will be recommending to all my running girlfriends. Keep doing what you do ladies!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

📊 Why Women Pace Marathons Better, Rachel's Recovery Update, Karen's Return To The Track + Run Club Drama?
Q: What should I do if a women-only run club ghosted me after I introduced my pace and goals?
Double-message politely, express continued interest, and consider joining for a track workout to test fit while remaining open to other groups as backup. Honesty about pace helps find the best community and may even expand the club to cover more paces.
🤝 Karen & Rachel Sign Up For A Marathon Together, Early Morning Workouts, Mental Side Of Injuries + Rachel Is Pain-Free!
Q: What should someone do to manage the mental side of a long-term injury and keep hope alive for a return to running?
Create a toolbox of coping strategies, include therapy or mental health support, set realistic expectations with medical guidance, and keep engaging in low-impact activities while gradually rebuilding strength. Maintaining social and goal-oriented activities helps preserve identity and motivation without overexerting the injury.
🤝 Karen & Rachel Sign Up For A Marathon Together, Early Morning Workouts, Mental Side Of Injuries + Rachel Is Pain-Free!
Q: I am currently struggling with an injury that feels like it is dragging on, what words of advice or similar stories can you share?
We acknowledge the pain and fear, emphasize honesty with care providers, encourage building a supportive team, and suggest reframing running identity while exploring alternative activities like swimming. Focus on small, controllable steps today and maintain optimism while acknowledging that progress may fluctuate; keep a plan with a friend to look forward to and avoid pressuring oneself to return before ready.
🦴 Rachel's Stress Reaction, Navigating Running Injuries, Parker Valby's Return To The Track + Handling Comparison On Social Media
Q: How do you manage the race result comparison game while pursuing a tough standard like 237?
Recognize that each runner's journey is personal and non-transferable; focus on your own progress, celebrate others' successes, and detach from the idea of a fixed pie where another's gain subtracts from yours.
🤕 Karen & Rachel's Injury Check-Ins, Running Tan Lines, Managing Allergy Season, Thoughts On Cross Training, + Shoe Recs
Q: How do track workouts work when people run different paces or for different races?
They typically run in groups based on pace, with warmups together, and coaches or group leaders calling out paces so participants choose the appropriate group to train with.
