  • That Time I Crashed Dr. Leo’s Podcast

    I jumped on the Mind Body Marathon podcast with Dr. Leo, my old high school cross country teammate turned running wizard, and it felt like stepping into a time machine powered by protein shakes and dad jokes.

    We covered everything from the glory days of running (when shorts were short and dreams were big) to how I now help women over 40 crush their health goals without sacrificing wine, sanity, or their favorite leggings. I even got to shout out Betsy Finley, a 60-year-old world champ who train... more

  • new favorite running podcast:)

    I feel like there are a lot of podcasts (about running) that hit just science or just story/ interview- this podcast somehow the perfect blend of both.

    I appreciate that each guest and episode has a slightly unique feel to it, but also has a specific point and take away.

  • Dr. Leo is a great resource for runners everywhere

    This podcast is a good listen for anyone trying to gain more awareness to the science behind running and the mysticism that drives our best athletic performances. In life there are people who know what they’re talking about and there are people who pretend to know what they’re talking about, Leo is someone who knows how to talk to runners!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Navigating the 2026 Boston Marathon: Insights and Reflections
Q: How did the post-race recovery unfold for you?
I ended up in the medical tent with dehydration and low pulse/pressure, then required rest and fluids; the takeaway is to avoid pushing too hard without proper hydration and temperature management and to follow medical advice if symptoms appear.
Navigating the 2026 Boston Marathon: Insights and Reflections
Q: What did you learn about pacing and preparation from this race?
I went out too fast and relied on muscle memory rather than looking at pace data; the lesson is to pace more conservatively early and use a watch to guide splits, even if you feel good early.
Navigating the 2026 Boston Marathon: Insights and Reflections
Q: What made this Boston Marathon feel different from the previous one you ran?
The energy on course and the crowd were more electric, the weather was similar, and overall there was a stronger buzz; I also found the city logistics and spectator support notably enhanced this time.
The Vital Role of Vitamin D in Health and Performance
Q: Is it safe for pregnant women to take Vitamin D?
Yes, Vitamin D is important for the development of babies, both in utero and during the first year of life, due to its role in nerve growth and overall health.
The Vital Role of Vitamin D in Health and Performance
Q: How quickly can one notice the benefits of Vitamin D supplementation?
Benefits, such as reduced PMS symptoms, can be noticed within one to three months of consistent Vitamin D intake.
