  • One of the Best!

    I just discovered this podcast after hearing the crossover with the Out and Back Podcast. John Gay is a polished interviewer who is always prepared and keeps the conversation moving. The show is well edited and there aren’t frequent pauses or silences that interrupt the flow of conversation that other podcasters sometimes have. I would rank it on par with Out and Back, Ali on the Run, I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein, and Road to the Trials. Keep putting out the awesome content!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iron-clad your training: the critical mineral runners need to perform at their best
Q: First question for you, why was now the time to go about such a massive undertaking educating people on iron deficiency?
The consensus aims to standardize guidance across provinces, reduce lab value inconsistencies, and provide a clear, evidence-based framework for prevention, assessment, and treatment of iron deficiency in athletes, including controversial areas like IV treatment.
The Peak beyond the podium: Barkley finisher & mental performance coach Nickademus de la Rosa on escaping a performance-based identity
Q: Can you share a practical tool listeners can use mid-race to keep their emotions from hijacking performance?
Yes. A multi-part approach: (1) perform a quick body scan to identify which mental part is driving; (2) acknowledge and name the feeling; (3) respond with compassionate self-talk and small physiological checks (breath, tension release) to move toward a green/yellow zone; (4) rehearse a simple cue like saying 'doing my best' to ground behavior during high-stress moments.
The Peak beyond the podium: Barkley finisher & mental performance coach Nickademus de la Rosa on escaping a performance-based identity
Q: What happened in 2017-2018 that forced you to rethink your relationship with sport?
A knee issue and a diagnosed bicuspid aortic valve culminated in open-heart surgery, followed by years of recovery and intense mental health challenges. This period forced a reexamination of purpose beyond racing and catalyzed his shift toward coaching and helping others manage identity and emotions.
For multi-time champ Kelsey Hogan, Quebec Mega Trail is a race like no other
Q: What does fueling look like specifically going into this weekend?
I'm focusing on higher carbs before the race, using electrolytes, and balancing liquids with some solid foods at aid stations to manage energy and digestion.
For multi-time champ Kelsey Hogan, Quebec Mega Trail is a race like no other
Q: Kelsey, welcome to The Shakeout Podcast.
Thanks for having me. Excited to share what makes QMT special and what I'm preparing for this year.
