  • #1 resource for coaches & athletes

    This is probably my most listened to podcast, hardly missing any episodes. The knowledge I have gained from Maddie has been invaluable to my team, and my own training. I’ve been able to turnkey what I’ve learned to other coaches and encourage them to listen and follow. She is gold for what she’s giving to the community & our kids!

  • Pure Gold with Elise Cranny!

    As a sports medicine physician who cares for many endurance athletes struggling with REDs, I found your interview with Elise Cranny to be pure gold! She is so eloquent in sharing her own experience and coming out stronger on the other side. A must listen for young endurance athletes. This episode puts into words the message I wish I could send to so many of my athletes.

  • Wow did I need this!

    As a runner who under fueled and over trained for years I always felt I was alone. This podcast is helping me recover from decades of under eating and is incredibly inspiring. It’s so nice to hear the stories of professionals who have struggled as well. Thank you for sharing these stories!

Q&A With Maddie - 34
Q: Hi I just transitioned to college running and training for the upcoming cross country season. I've been doing around 75 to 90 kilometers a week, and I'm always hungry no matter how much I seem to eat. Do you have any tips for how to fuel for an evening run or workout and overall ways to manage runner hunger?
Recommendations include planning backward from the 5 p.m. practice start time, scheduling meals and snacks around training (larger meals at lunch and breakfast, smaller pre-run snacks, post-run options like chocolate milk), and ensuring adequate hydration and electrolytes while managing appetite and fiber intake.
Q&A With Maddie - 34
Q: Hi I was wondering if you have any advice with gut issues. I always have struggled with needing to go to the bathroom on my runs, especially when I'm on my period.
The host explains that timing and type of fuel are key: aim to fuel within one to two hours of starting a run using simple, easily digestible carbohydrates with minimal fat, fiber, or protein to avoid delaying digestion during activity.
Q&A With Alexa - 3
Q: Any advice for addressing a non-evidence-based nutritionist who influences others on social media?
Approach with empathy when possible, prioritize your own boundaries and mental well-being, consider unfollowing or limiting exposure to stressful sources, and focus on cultivating a healthy relationship with food; emphasize evidence-based practice and question whether the guidance will meaningfully support your goals without adding stress.
