  • Not for me!

    Dr. Scotti is smart but when it comes to support there was none for ME. I signed up for the special offed for Black Friday, however, it never mentioned that this option was not for one on one support. It ended up being part of the online monthly group (glorified private podcast). I was on layoff during this time from the government and I invested in this? This was MY fought straight up my fought, but I just want to inform anyone who thinks that they are paying money for a PERSONAL COACH, this op... more

  • This guest was so disappointing. At 59yo, I learned a long time ago mindset matters. We are aging so Pivot ladies. She talks like it's the end the world. Dr. Scotti did his best to save it. Appreciate his positivity.

  • life-changing running podcast

    As a student with an exercise science degree who is now perusing their doctoral of Physical Therapy degree, I am always looking to learn more about exercise and the body. I grew up being an athlete but was never able to run more than 2 miles up until 2 years ago. I slowly began to increase my mileage and now have run 2 half marathons. Before my first, I wasn’t sure what I was doing and really just signed up for the race because I had been running so much. I continued to run and once I realized I... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

308. Carb Loading Before a Marathon: What Most Runners Get Wrong with Brooke Czarnecki, RDN, LD
Q: Is there an emergency protocol for someone who is three days out and has never carb-loaded?
Yes, opt for a soft carb load, maintain typical carbohydrate intake while substituting some protein/fat portions with carbohydrate sources, and avoid dramatic shifts or introducing unfamiliar foods. The aim is not to overhaul the diet but to increase carbohydrate availability without upsetting the gut.
308. Carb Loading Before a Marathon: What Most Runners Get Wrong with Brooke Czarnecki, RDN, LD
Q: What should a runner do three days before a marathon if they have never carb-loaded before?
The guidance is to implement a soft carb load rather than a full carb load. Replace proteins and fats with additional carbohydrate servings gradually, such as having three different carbohydrate sources on a plate, and consider an extra serving of an electrolyte-containing carbohydrate drink. Avoid drastic changes and new foods right before race day.
307. 3 Common Marathon Injuries: How to Treat Them Without Giving Up Running with Carolyn Coffin
Q: What are the top three injuries marathoners should expect and how do you treat them without stopping running?
The host and guest outline proximal hamstring tendinopathy, IT band syndrome, and Achilles tendinopathy as the big three, with treatment focusing on progressive tendon loading, precise load modulation of run plans, and surrounding hip and calf strengthening to allow continued running.
296. Running Through Perimenopause with Coach Emily Fox: Why Your Pace, Energy, and Body Are Changing
Q: What role does strength training play during perimenopause?
Strength training helps preserve muscle and bone density, supports metabolic health, and counteracts hormonal declines; progressive overload with proper form is key to avoiding injuries while building robustness.
296. Running Through Perimenopause with Coach Emily Fox: Why Your Pace, Energy, and Body Are Changing
Q: How should female runners adapt training around their cycles, especially as perimenopause begins?
Track your cycle to anticipate luteal-phase fatigue, adjust tempo and speed work accordingly, and use a cycle-informed plan so you can maintain consistency without pushing through unreasonable fatigue.
