  • 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!

  • Great show

    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 147: RED-S, Recovery, and the Stress We Don’t Count
Q: What is LEA and RED-S and how do they affect athletes beyond weight?
LEA is a state where energy intake is insufficient for basic metabolic and physiological functions after accounting for training, leading to hormonal disruption, impaired immunity, mood changes, and bone health issues; RED-S encompasses the broader spectrum of these health effects arising from energy deficiency; both can occur unintentionally and affect athletes across weights and genders.
Episode 146: Beyond the Finish Line with Joe “Stringbean” McConaughy
Q: When did coaching come into the picture for you?
Coaching started in 2017 after meeting an athlete with a Harvard psychology background, which helped shape a coaching approach centered on mentorship and mental resilience alongside technical training.
Episode 144: Access, Innovation, and Adaptive Trail Running with Nicole Ver Kuilen

Episode 144: Access, Innovation, and Adaptive Trail Running with Nicole Ver Kuilen

Episode 144: Access, Innovation, and Adaptive Trail Running with Nicole Ver Kuilen
Q: What does it mean to be the first American para-athlete on Salomon's team?
