  • #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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A With Maddie - 29
Q: What advice would you give to an athlete struggling with fatigue and Reds mid-season while still performing in workouts but not races?
This likely points to low energy availability rather than full RED-S; coaches should screen for RED-S risk, ensure three meals daily, timely fueling around practices, and consider reducing training load or cross-training when needed. Early intervention with a sports medicine-aware practitioner can help restore energy balance and prevent progression to RED-S.
Q&A With Maddie - 29
Q: Our first question about injuries: are these minor injuries just something that come with running, or is there something I can do to make it through a full year injury-free?
Injuries can signal energy balance issues and recovery gaps, especially during transitions like moving from high school to college; assess sleep, fueling, training load, and recovery. If injuries persist, consider professional guidance from a dietitian and coach to optimize fueling and load management.
Q&A With Maddie - 29
Q: What is your take on bicarb? Does it really make a difference? And would it be beneficial for high school athletes?
Bicarb can be beneficial in certain situations, particularly for short, high-intensity efforts, but it's not broadly recommended for most high school athletes due to inconsistent benefits, high sodium load, GI side effects, and the availability of easier, cheaper fueling strategies. It may be considered for elite athletes or specific race scenarios after careful trialing.
Q&A With Maddie - 28
Q: What is the best way to fuel during a heptathlon and handle nerves around events?
Plan multiple light, easily digestible carbohydrate options between events, use liquids like Gatorade or juice when nerves make eating difficult, and schedule a larger meal after the first event if there's enough time, with ongoing emphasis on hydration and simple carbs to sustain energy between events.
Q&A With Maddie - 28
Q: Hi Maddie, I prefer not to weigh myself or know my weight as a runner. How would you tell my doctor or OB-GYN that I don't want to be weighed or have it recorded in my files?
Acknowledge you're prioritizing your mental and overall health, explain you don't need every visit to include a weight, and request a blind weight if needed, with the doctor noting that the weight should not be entered into your chart unless there's a legitimate medical reason.
