  • #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 - 33
Q: How do you know if you're eating enough when recovering from REDS with amenorrhea while still training?
Increase overall calories, especially carbohydrates and fats, and consider a recovery-focused plan with a dietitian to overshoot energy needs and monitor blood markers, with period restoration not being the sole indicator of recovery. Track objective signs like energy, sleep, training performance, and lab values to guide progress.
Q&A With Maddie - 32
Q: How do you know if a training load is too high and inching towards overtraining?
Look for early signals like changes in sleep quality, persistent fatigue, reduced ability to perform daily tasks, mood changes, and menstrual irregularities in female athletes; also consider total daily stress and ensure fueling and recovery are adequate before pushing volume.
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.
