  • My go to!

    This is always my go to podcast for any time of the day. On a run. Washing dishes. Driving to work. I look forward to the new ones and re-listen to many of the guest ones I find helpful with my own running journey. LOVE the dedication to science and elevating women’s experiences on and off trail. You’re doing amazing girls!

  • Great show

    Returning to update my review. I’ve learned sooo much from this podcast. I was barely hanging on by a thread when the iron deficiency episode popped up. Through listening to that episode I learned I had almost no ferritin which is why I was falling asleep at my desk! I just finished the most recent episode with Jill, I’d love for her to be a recurring guest on this show. Keep up the good work!

    I like this show overall but I really wish they would stop with the medical school talk. It does not apply to my life and I do not care.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 140: A Western States first-timer shares her story and some advice
Q: Steph, can you tell us a little bit about how you got into running?
Steph explains she started marathoning later in life after early road racing and a pivotal trail marathon, which sparked her transition to ultras and her subsequent involvement in the sport.
Episode 141: Live from TrailCon 2026 - a Women’s Health and Performance panel with Keely Henninger, Dr. Emily Kraus, Dr. Gauri Desai, and Dr. Alyssa Olenick
Q: What is one thing you wish athletes, coaches, or clinicians understood earlier to prevent burnout or injury?
Think long-term about longevity; ensure younger athletes maintain a menstrual cycle, adequate fueling, and muscle mass to build a sustainable, long career rather than pushing through until injuries or burnout force retirement.
Episode 137: Women’s sports are good business with Kate Veronneau
Q: What is something you wish people knew about you?
Kate shares a personal origin story, noting how her initial exposure to cycling came later in life and how her career path evolved from basketball to cycling, highlighting the importance of openness to new opportunities and the joy she found in the sport.
Episode 136: Listener training questions in the Coaches Corner with Keely and Corrine
Q: What is the magic formula for improving as a runner—strides or supplements?
The hosts argue that the true magic formula is nailing sleep, fueling, consistent running, and good shoes; supplements or strides are secondary, providing extra benefits only after basics are solid.
Episode 139: Revisiting the pursuit of excellence with Western States champ Abby Hall
Q: How do you balance the intense training load with home life and a partner who supports your running?
We share responsibilities at home, coordinate calendars for long blocks, and recognize that clear communication and teamwork are critical—Cordis helps with logistics and meals, and I stay focused on training while keeping the household functioning.
