  • #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 - 31
Q: What are your thoughts on meal kits and how to navigate healthier options?
Meal kits can be convenient but often underserve endurance athletes in carbs; adjust portions to increase carbohydrate intake, supplement with extra rice/pasta, and consider cost and portion sizes; CSA boxes are a good budget-friendly vegetable option to boost veggie intake and variety.
Q&A With Maddie - 31
Q: Catherine asks how to uncover all relevant factors in a bone stress injury with limited access to tests, and how to know which tests to advocate for.
Consider a GI workup if ferritin remains low despite supplementation, assess absorption issues (e.g., H. pylori via GI map), obtain a baseline DEXA if feasible, and pursue imaging (MRI preferred for bone injuries) to accurately diagnose and guide return-to-run plans; consult with a dietitian to evaluate energy availability.
Q&A With Maddie - 31
Q: Hi Maddie, I love your podcast. I'm a college runner struggling to put on weight. I rely on meal replacement drinks like Ensure. Do you have tips for meals or snacks for weight gain?
Aim for three full meals with a plate that includes starches, protein, color, and fats, and ensure meals have enough carbohydrates to meet training demands; use higher-fat options to increase energy density, and incorporate snacks throughout the day to maintain energy intake and support weight gain.
Q&A With Maddie - 31
Q: Hi Maddie, I saw a run influencer got a stress fracture recently. She blamed it on her form and biomechanics, but on Instagram, she talks about how she cross trains multiple hours a day. Do you think stress reactions and fractures are ever not related to under fueling and overtraining?
Social media can complicate this, but most bone stress injuries are multi-factorial; energy availability and nutrition play a crucial role, and it's important to assess fueling, training load, and biomechanics together rather than in isolation to understand the injury.
Q&A With Maddie - 30
Q: How should an athlete approach high cholesterol when they are active and fueling well, including dietary strategies and genetic considerations?
Maddie discusses that elevated cholesterol in active individuals is often genetic; she advises ruling out under-fueling first, then adopting a Mediterranean-style pattern with more fish and less red meat, swapping dairy for fortified alternatives as needed, ensuring adequate fiber intake, and avoiding unnecessary reductions in energy or carbs without medical guidance.
