  • #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 Alexa - 6
Q: How should I approach my fueling while not moving, except for some mobility, to be healthy and a well-performing athlete, and come back stronger from a navicular bone stress injury?
Alexa advises maintaining adequate energy intake during recovery, avoiding scale-focused decisions, and prioritizing protein spread throughout the day alongside calcium and checked vitamin D levels. She notes that under-fueling can hinder recovery and bone health.
Q&A With Alexa - 6
Q: Can you explain your thoughts on Garmin watches and the calories burned metric? How accurate is it, and what's a better way to ensure I'm fueling properly?
Alexa says wrist-device calorie estimates are often substantially inaccurate and recommends not using them to determine food intake. She suggests monitoring energy, menstrual regularity, sleep, workout progress, and regular meals and snacks as better indicators of adequate fueling.
43. Claire Shorenstein (Eat for Endurance)
Q: What has that been like learning how to fuel for ultra races?
Shorenstein says fueling depends on race distance, pace, and the athlete. For her shorter ultras, she uses gels and sports drink as a foundation, adding foods such as fig bars, dates, chips, pretzels, or aid-station options. Practicing with foods helped her feel more comfortable eating during races.
43. Claire Shorenstein (Eat for Endurance)
Q: What do you feel like are maybe the top three things that you see the most common in your practice that you're often working with runners on?
Shorenstein identifies insufficient overall intake, especially carbohydrates, limited time and capacity to prepare food, and a lack of practical plans for daily fueling and race day. She recommends planning ahead while staying flexible.
42. Ella Donaghu
Q: Do you have any advice for any runner who's in the same boat, really struggling with that mindset around races?
Donaghu recommends separating fear of the physical challenge from fear of the outcome, remembering that poor races and seasons do not erase talent, and keeping meaningful interests and relationships outside running.
