The Quick Chicks

It's finally here! Join us for this final recap episode as we relive the highs and (a few lows) of our unforgettable weekend! Thank you to all the QuickChicks and Fast Folks that joined us on this journey!

Hey QuickChicks and FastFolks! It's race week and we are like two caged animals! We ready! Join us as we chat how our final workouts and preparations for Sunday's big day have gone and what we are doing to stay chill and confident leading up to the race.

Hi QuickChicks and Fast Folks! This week is all about Turkey Trots and tapering and how to do both well and have fun in the process. And of course we talk about friendship and our feelings. Enjoy and happy start to the holidays!

Hi QuickChicks! Listen as we have the pleasure of interviewing Georganne's husband, #1 fan, and Betsy's birthday buddy, the very fast and friendly Luke Watson! Luke talks about his training leading up to some of his best races, his mindset when dealing with unfortunate setbacks, as well as his current relationship with running. This is a good one, folks! Remember to send us all your training/racing/life questions to betsyandgeorganne@gmail.com! Happy listening, QuickChicks!

Almost to the homestretch, QuickChicks! We talk about our last really long run(s), how to overcome fatigue and pain, our dress rehearsals for race morning, and our NYC marathon wrap up. Enjoy!

This week we vent a little about races that simply do not cut the mustard with us - when races skimp on the basics and still charge full prices - we get a little testy. We catch each up on how our training is going one month out from race day, as well as reveal some of our mental glitches that don't really serve us and how we train ourselves to think better thoughts. Oh! And we discuss “very normal” cool mom Gwen Jorgensen and her training in Boulder. We cover a lot in this one so buckle up, FastFolks!

We chat with super QuickChicks Kelsey Pontius and Lydia McRae, two friends and training partners that share with us great tips on CIM, fueling, tapering, and more! Enjoy the delightful chat of these very talented ladies!

Hi QuickChicks and Fast Folks! This we we chat about how to get creative with training and prioritizing your enjoyment as you pursue your goals. We also talk about Emma Bates' recent amazing race at the Chicago Marathon and what led her to such an impressive performance, as well as our weekly training roundup and what we are looking forward to this week! Enjoy!

Fresh off their run at Boston, we have Kelly Griffin joining Georganne and Betsy to chat about the marathon and its aftermath. This episode was a lot of fun for us to connect and reminisce about memories made at this historic race! Hope you and your running pals enjoy listening as much as we had recording!

Hey QuickChicks! Welcome back! This week we talk about Betsy continuing to slog through the heat in her Florida training, but having a killer track workout to help get through these final hot weeks, we discus Georganne's upcoming trip to Boston and what to expect from the crowds at the Marathon, we discuss a training vlog of pro-Runner Nell Rojas (who is also running Boston), and finally we talk about kids and reclaiming your body after having them. Enjoy!

Welcome back QuickChicks (and fast gentlemen!) this week we cover the mental aspects of our training and racing and draw upon recent examples of strong mental health techniques we are seeing at the pro level and how we can apply them to our everyday training. Georganne updates us on her latest race and Betsy revisits a workout from earlier in the month that went very differently this time around.

Hey Quick Chicks! We are back this week with another installment of our rundown of training for CIM - PLUS we have our very first and very special guest fellow Quick Chick and CIMer Sarah Delia! Have a listen as she tells her story, shared some training wisdom, and gets us fired up to “crush it!” We also have our segment Dear Quick Chicks where we attempt to give solid advice. Please excuse any technical glitches in the recording: we are professional basasses, not professional podcasters. Stay well and run quick!

This week we get real about allergies, fuel, and recovery hacks. We also touch upon how we refresh ourselves: everything from ice baths to facials!

Hey Quick Chicks! This week we talk about how our training is going, Georganne gives us the skinny on her successful long (20 mile) run, Betsy fills us in on a key predictor workout, and both talk about their mental game in workouts as well as the importance of voicing your needs. Enjoy!

Hey QuickChicks! We are here and ready (or pretending to know what we're doing) to bring you this podcast for your listening pleasure while you pick up your kids, do a morning shakeout, an afternoon double, that evening core routine, or just while enjoying a glass of your favorite Cabernet. We are two besties with very different running backgrounds and strengths both training for the upcoming California International Marathon this December. Come along and buckle up because we want you along for the ride! Email us you thoughts and questions to betsyandgeorganne@gmail.com!
