Send us a textWhat does it take to race on the edge, fix your flaws, and build a season that holds up under pressure? We dive deep with Mason Copi, fresh off a blistering run at the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships and a domestic campaign that turned him from underrated to undeniable. Mason opens up about starting fast when the course rewards it, working the early road section, and the moment when cramps hit yet belief held. You'll hear how teammates on the course and a fired-up Team USA on the sidelines fueled each surge and why chasing the podium sometimes means accepting the crash.Then we get practical. Mason breaks down how he transformed downhill running from a fear response into an advantage using exposure reps on technical segments and a simple “monster truck” form cue. He shares the training blueprint that keeps him healthy while racing often: threshold work for speed and lactate clearance, high aerobic volume buffered by the bike, and minimalist strength focused on hips, glutes, calves, and soleus. No fluff, no gimmicks—just the boring, repeatable work that lets you push hard again next week. We also explore how rising U.S. depth—think Taylor, Cam, Christian—lifts everyone, turning rivalry into fuel.Looking ahead, Mason maps an ambitious 2026: sharpening for the USATF Half in Atlanta, testing range at the Boston Marathon, mixing mountain classics like Big Alta and Gorge, and stepping into the unknown at Speedgoat 50K to build muscular endurance and dial nutrition. He'll chase a WMRA team spot at Sunapee and aim for an Olympic Trials qualifier at CIM, answering the bigger question of how fast a sub-ultra mountain runner needs to be now. We close with a candid look at free agency—why sponsorship timing is tricky, what autonomy enables, and how to keep betting on yourself when the budget says camp and the goals say compete.If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves mountain running, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find these stories.

In this episode, Liz Boyd (11:23) shares her inspiring journey of recovery after suffering a stroke, detailing the physical and emotional challenges she faced. Liz candidly discusses the unexpected losses she experienced, including muscle mass, vision, and hearing, and how these changes affected her mental health. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion during the recovery process, highlighting the struggle of transitioning from an overachiever to someone who had to relearn basic skills. Liz also opens up about the sensory overload she experienced in everyday situations, such as dining out, which led to panic attacks. As the conversation progresses, Liz reveals her newfound purpose in life: to raise awareness about stroke recovery and support others facing similar challenges. She recounts her incredible achievement of running the Boston Marathon just two years after her stroke, illustrating her determination and resilience.

Kicking off season 7 of Bold Like Her with an old friend I had the chance to catch up with as we sat down to chat fitness, life and where she is now in her career. Kate is the COO of Higher Ground Fitness, helping them to continue to grow and open more locations around Boston.  We talked about what the workout looks like along with their proprietary HGF Machine! Fitness has always been a part of Kate's life, in fact she ran the Boston Marathon at the age of just 15! She followed the path she thought was meant for her with positions in finance at companies like Wayfair and Pintrest but felt a pull in another direction. She found herself mentoring and coaching other fitness studio owners on how to run their locations as money making businesses and as fate would have it met the owner of Higher Ground.  

What Does It Take to Go the Distance in Retail Real Estate Today?Retail real estate in early 2026 is defined by imbalance. In many suburban, open-air markets, demand is overwhelming supply. Five tenants are chasing one quality space. Vacancy is razor-thin. New construction still does not pencil. The result is leverage—and it is shifting.Chris Ressa and Andrew Mahr of Bialo Real Estate dig into how that leverage is actually showing up in deals. Face rents are not always jumping overnight, but economics are tightening through lower tenant improvement packages, higher tenant capital contributions, and tougher negotiations around delivery costs. Retail is repricing—just not always in the most obvious way.The conversation also highlights the growing divide between markets. Urban cores tied to office traffic remain uneven, while suburban lifestyle centers are absorbing demand from retailers with capital, patience, and long-term conviction. Strong operators are choosing to invest more upfront to control fixed occupancy costs over time, especially in junior anchor and specialty formats.A North Miami case study brings the thesis to life. An off-market Wild Fork deal shows how the best sites are no longer “available”—they are unlocked through persistence, relationships, and a willingness to target occupied real estate. The takeaway is simple: in today's market, waiting for vacancy is passive. Going direct is how deals get done.What You'll HearHow rising rents are showing up through deal structure, not always through face rateWhy tenant improvement packages are shrinking and tenant capital is coming back into the equationWhat it really means when deals “don't pencil” in a high-cost, high-rate environmentHow strong retailers are deciding when it makes sense to invest more upfront to control long-term occupancy costsWhy off-market strategies matter more in a low-vacancy worldA real North Miami case study showing how targeting occupied real estate can unlock best-in-market locationsHow landlord-tenant alignment can accelerate expansion and turn single deals into long-term partnershipsChapters00:00 – Welcome and introductionsChris Ressa welcomes Andrew Mahr and sets the stage for a wide-ranging conversation on retail, relationships, and the market.01:00 – Running, resilience, and perspectiveAndrew shares his Boston Marathon journey and why endurance, advocacy, and long-term commitment shape how he approaches business.03:00 – What Bilo Real Estate actually doesA look at Bilo's role as a national, outsourced real estate department and why deep market familiarity matters.05:15 – Retail in 2026: a tale of two marketsUrban cores tied to office demand lag while suburban, open-air retail faces intense competition and limited supply.07:45 – Why new retail still doesn't pencilInterest rates, construction costs, and underwriting realities continue to stall speculative retail development.09:30 – Leasing momentum and shifting deal economicsRents are rising—but often through reduced TIs and higher tenant capital, not just headline numbers.12:00 – Who's winning: strong retailers with capitalWhy the healthiest tenants are choosing to invest more upfront to control long-term occupancy costs.13:30 – Hospitality and wellness as growth categoriesRestaurants, social...

Send us a textMany of us have complicated relationships with our parents and then wonder how much of our inherited traits we are passing to our own children; it's left up to us whether to nurture and grow those traits, or to discard them entirely. In his new book, “The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports,” Nick Thompson describes how his dad one day taking him to watch the New York City Marathon led him to a lifelong love of running. Nick, the CEO of the nationally renowned publication The Atlantic, and his dad followed similar paths through New England prep school and then Stanford, and both pursued running to varying degrees, but there their paths diverged. His dad's life devolved from being a Rhodes Scholar and working inside the Reagan administration to a baffling, hedonistic life overseas. All the while, Nick's journalistic career blossomed and he became the Editor-in-Chief of Wired magazine, and running became an anchor of stability. He consistently cranked out speedy marathons in the 2:40s, sandwiched around his own serious health scare. Then an opportunity to train under Nike coaches led him to breakthrough marathon times and a greater awareness of his importance as a husband and father. “The Running Ground” also includes stories about pioneers such as Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, and Suprabha Beckjord, a multiple-time winner of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon, a 3100-mile race run on a half-mile concrete sidewalk loop in Queens, New York. Nick has now ventured into the ultramarathon world, including breaking the previous 50K American 45-49 age group record previously held by the legendary Mike Wardian, running a 3:04:36. “The Running Ground” is a riveting read that deeply explores as only a career journalist can the complexities of why we run – the joys as well as the challenges and frustrations – and exploring that part of our life cycle that includes unraveling the mysteries about our parents. You can order both print and audiobook versions on Amazon. I also highly recommend subscribing to The Atlantic if you, like I do, want to read great in-depth reporting about the people and events that are shaping this world.Nick Thompsonnickthompson.comtheatlantic.comInstagram @nxthompson“The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports" is available on AmazonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

Send us a textBrent and Kyle's story is rooted in life-shaping experiences that led them to become who they are today.Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, leaving him with full cognitive ability but very limited physical mobility. He lives life in a wheelchair and requires assistance with daily tasks like eating. Brent is Kyle's older brother, and they grew up in a household where their family never accepted limitations on what was possible for Kyle.Today, Brent acts as Kyle's legs so Kyle can compete in some of the world's most challenging endurance events — including the IRONMAN World Championship (140.6 miles) and the Boston Marathon among several others. Not only are they completing these races as a push-assist duo, they've also raised millions through The Kyle Pease Foundation to give other individuals with disabilities the chance to experience their own finish-line moments. Their efforts also support inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities who, like Kyle, deserve meaningful roles and visibility.We had a great conversation and you will love this inspiring episode!

The Department of Homeland Security's plans for counter-drone efforts are coming into focus with the agency's announcement last week of $250 million in funding allocations for 11 states and Washington, D.C. The push comes ahead of the district and states hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026 and America 250 national events. The two occasions are expected to bring unprecedented levels of spectators, and, in turn, bad actors, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Karen Evans, acting administrator at FEMA, said in a statement“We knew we needed to act quickly to keep the World Cup safe from the rising threat of unmanned aircraft systems and that's exactly what we did. This is the fastest non-disaster grant program ever executed by FEMA with funds being awarded just 25 days after the application deadline.” California is set to receive the lion's share of the funding, at just under $34.6 million. Texas and Washington, D.C., rounded out the top three highest allocations, surpassing $30 million and $28 million, respectively. The awarded investments will go toward boosting drone-tracking infrastructure and detection technologies, in response to hostile actors that have “intensified” their use of the technology, the agency said. There have been several drone-related incidents in past years that have given cause for pause. In 2023, an NFL matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals was delayed due to a drone flying over the stadium. The 2024 AFC Championship was interrupted as well after a drone was identified in restricted airspace. Other sports events and gatherings, such as the Boston Marathon, have also been the target of unauthorized drones. Congressional appropriators mostly ignored the Trump administration's requests to slash budgets at several science and data agencies in a package of fiscal year 2026 bills released this week. House and Senate lawmakers revealed a package of three bipartisan appropriations bills on Monday, including legislation to fund the Department of Commerce, Department of Justice, and science agencies — such as the National Science Foundation and NASA — as well as bills that cover the Department of Energy and Department of Interior. While the Trump administration sought deep cuts for Commerce and many science agencies in its budget for FY 2026, the final bill doesn't adopt those requests. It instead opts for small decreases or increases at some agencies and maintains relatively similar funding to previous years at others. The three-bill “minibus” — a term used to describe a subset of appropriations bills that would make up an omnibus appropriations package for the entire government — signals important agreement as the government again nears a possible shutdown. However, lawmakers still have several more negotiated appropriations bills to release and must pass that legislation before the continuing resolution currently keeping the government open expires Jan. 30.

In this gripping episode, retired Waltham, Massachusetts police sergeant Jim Vaglica shares raw, firsthand accounts from his 32-year career. With 16 years on the NEMLEC regional SWAT team, Jim was on the ground during the intense manhunt and capture of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Watertown — including the chaotic boat standoff, massive gunfire, and negotiations. He reveals behind-the-scenes details on the 2013 events (inspired by films like Patriots Day), bizarre  scenes (like intact brains ejected from shotgun wounds), heart-pounding SWAT entries against armed barricaded suspects, early adrenaline-fueled calls, and the unsolved Waltham triple murder linked to the older Tsarnaev brother. Jim also discusses recruiting new cops, school resource officers, his time on reality TV shows, and why policing remains an honorable profession. A must-watch for true crime fans, law enforcement stories, and Boston Marathon bombing insights.

In today's episode, Heather Adams, Strength and Nutrition coach and mom of 6, joins us to share her own fitness journey, from a shy, timid kid who was afraid to try anything new… to playing tackle football and qualifying to run the Boston Marathon and becoming a personal trainer and dedicated coach who is helping women achieve “peaceful striving” in their health, nutrition, and fitness goals.We chat all about the importance of approaching life with curiosity and kindness instead of frustration and anger. Heather shares powerful insights on the importance of understanding the "why" behind actions, the challenges of breaking old habits, how “constructive discomfort" can lead to significant personal growth, and the persistence in making small, consistent changes can help snowball into huge lifestyle shifts."I got brave. That's where all of the magic happens.”- Heather Adams“Embrace the power of maybe—maybe this could work, maybe this could be great. You can always make a choice and then make another choice.”- Heather AdamsThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:The impact of her older brother's wrestling and dieting on Heather's early views of fitnessHeather's journey from being a timid, reclusive child to discovering her athletic sideHow little moments of bravery can help you achieve great thingsThe concept of “peaceful striving” and its importance in fitness and personal growthThe role of curiosity and kindness in personal growth and evolving identitiesThe importance of understanding the "why" behind actions and patterns to foster long-term changeConnect with Heather Adams:Heather Adams on InstagramTraining Age Podcast with Val Lusvardi and Heather AdamsIris on Training Age Podcast: Telling a New StoryThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

She is the author of Short-Term Keto, creator of the Coach Tara App and HIGHER Retreats, and a passionate advocate for metabolic flexibility and evidence-based wellness. A mom of four, avid weightlifter, and Boston Marathon finisher, Tara empowers people to achieve peak physical and mental performance without burnout. In this episode, Tara debunks common myths about cortisol, reframing it as an essential energy-mobilizing hormone rather than just a stress villain. She addresses fears around fasted HIIT training potentially causing fat gain, exhaustion, or hormonal disruption—especially in perimenopause—emphasizing that acute cortisol spikes are normal and issues often stem from broader factors like underfueling, poor recovery, and life stress. Tara also covers misconceptions about breakfast timing, supplement use without testing, and assuming symptoms like burnout always mean high cortisol, advocating for proper testing and personalized approaches.    RESOURCES: Learn more about Tara here: http://taragarrison.com Instagram: @coachtaragarrison @higher.coaching @insideouthealthpodcast Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Intro: Addressing common cortisol myths and misconceptions circulating online 01:02 – Sponsorship mention (Peluva minimalist shoes) 02:54 – Overview of cortisol testing (DUTCH Plus and saliva tests vs. blood tests) 04:05 – Myth 1: Fasted training (like HIIT) causes dangerously high cortisol, leading to fat gain 12:05 – Myth 2: Fasted HIIT universally "wrecks" hormones (e.g., sex hormones). 20:28 – Myth 3: Symptoms like stress, burnout, and weight loss resistance always mean high cortisol. 26:22 – Myth 4: Using supplements to "balance" cortisol without testing. 31:38 – Myth 5: You must eat breakfast within the first hour of waking to prevent cortisol spikes. 42:30 – Nuance/avoiding oversimplified advice   WORK WITH ME: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

It's New Year's Eve, and I've been feeling the energy heavy — the hype, the pressure, all of it.I love this time of year.This week, while cleaning out closets, I came across an old bucket list I made years ago.Some of the things on it were done. Some of them I didn't just complete — I blew past them.A Chicago half marathon was on that list.Since then, I've run three full Chicago Marathons and the Boston Marathon.As I head into 2026 — with graduation around the corner, a sabbatical after 15 years of work, another Chicago race ahead, and a new chapter academically — it doesn't feel like a fresh start.It feels like a finish line.This episode is about pressure, progress, outgrowing old dreams, and choosing to actually celebrate the journey instead of rushing past it.If you're feeling behind, you might be further than you think.

Dan and Ellen talk with Jennifer Peter, who was named editor-in-chief of The Marshall Project in September of 2025. The Marshall Project is a national nonprofit that covers issues related to criminal justice. She's only the third editor in 10 years, replacing Susan Chira, a former New York Times editor. Peter started her career as a reporter, working for 12 years at newspapers in Idaho, Connecticut and Virginia before joining The Associated Press in Boston. From the AP, she moved to The Globe, where she rose quickly through the ranks. She was regional editor, politics editor, and city editor. As metro editor, she oversaw The Globe's Boston Marathon bombing coverage, which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News.  In 2018 she was promoted to managing editor, the number-two position in the newsroom. In our conversation, Peter tells us about The Marshall Project's mission, including its foray into local news in Cleveland, St. Louis and Jackson, Mississippi. A production note: Dan is at Northeastern, but Ellen is beaming in from a studio at Brookline Interactive Group, which handles multimedia for the town of Brookline. BIG, as it is known locally, is also host to a class of Brandeis students who travel to Brookline to report and write stories for Brookline.News, the nonprofit newsroom Ellen is part of. BIG provides audio and video of Brookline civic meetings and also works with Brookline public school students on multimedia projects.   Dan has a Quick Take about yet another newspaper that's gone out of business, although this one has an unusual twist. The devastating wildfires that ripped through the Los Angeles area last January have claimed the Palisadian-Post, a twice-monthly newspaper that had been publishing since 1928. The problem is that many of the residents were forced to leave, and though rebuilding is under way, the community hasn't come close to recovering.  One of Dan's Northeastern students, Abbie O'Connor, is from the Pacific Palisades — her home is still standing. She wrote several times in my opinion journalism class during the semester about how the Palisades were affected by the fire. Among other things, an enormous number of Palisades residents moved to Manhattan Beach, re-creating the sense of community they had in their former homes. Abbie's final project was an enterprise story on racial and economic disparities in the rebuilding resources that are being made available to the mostly white, affluent residents of the Pacific Palisades and the lower-income, historically Black community of Altadena.  Ellen's Quick Take is about Brian McGrory returning as editor of The Boston Globe in January. McGrory left in early 2023 to become chair of Boston University's journalism department. He'll replace Nancy Barnes, who announced last week that she'd be stepping aside.   

As 2025 comes to a close, Sportly looks back at a year that reshaped sports far beyond the scoreboard. Host Kavitha Davidson reflects on defining moments across leagues and borders—from historic performances by A'ja Wilson and Shohei Ohtani to the cultural impact of the NBA's new media era, the resurgence of tennis rivalries, and the continued growth of women's sports. This year-end episode revisits some of Sportly's most meaningful stories, including the political legacy of ping-pong diplomacy, the origins of women's sports in the U.S., the Boston Marathon as a site of collective memory, Canada's national identity through the Toronto Blue Jays, and the ongoing fight for Indigenous sovereignty in lacrosse ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The episode also confronts the more complex truths of 2025: sports betting scandals, labor disputes, media consolidation, and what happens when billion-dollar sports institutions struggle to regulate themselves.  Looking ahead, Kavitha explores what's coming next: the 2026 World Cup in North America, the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and the unanswered questions that will define the future of sports. Sportly is a podcast about sports, culture, politics, and identity, and why the stories behind the games matter just as much as the games themselves. Host: Kavitha A.

TWO WEEKS OF FREE WITH CODE "RUNEFFECT" : https://kaizen.app.link/TRESharon Lokedi set a Boston Marathon course record, ran a 65-minute half marathon, and stepped foot on another NYC Marathon podium.  She didn't just have a good year in 2025, she had the kind of season that rewrites expectations for the future of women's distance running, and her 2:17:22 course record at Boston can attest to this.Sharon's most recent success came at the New York City Marathon, where she came in second place with a time of 2:20:07; this was her third career podium finish at NYC, as she won the whole thing in 2022 during an impressive marathon breakout performance. The year 2025 also saw her win the NYC Half Marathon in an event record time, and then set a PR in the 13.1 distance with a 1:05:00 at the Copenhagen Half. She came in an impressive 4th place in the marathon during the 2024 Olympic Games in France, running a 2:23:14. Prior to that she was a stalwart in the collegiate ranks while running at Kansas, winning the 10,000m at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships. After a Boston course record and a world-class season, she's stepping into the next chapter with more clarity, more confidence, and more momentum than ever before.

At the Abilities Expo 2025 in Chicago, we enjoy the bustling noise of a community built on independence, resourcefulness, and zero tolerance for pity. With Katy Roberts as our guide, we explore how this decades-strong event turns accessibility from a checkbox into a living, breathing experience where disabled people don't blend in—they lead.Katy Roberts walks us through what makes the Expo different: hundreds of vendors you can actually touch and test, adaptive sports and mobility demos that invite participation, and a layout designed around dignity. We trace the event's roots back to 1979 and its growth across seven cities, then dig into the mindset shift that happens when disability is the majority in the room. That shift unlocks confidence, connection, and a practical swagger that says help is welcome but condescension isn't. Along the way, we challenge the tired narrative that a disability event is “sad” and show why it's a celebration of agency and problem-solving.Katy shares how her background in exhibitions, her UK perspective on the Disability Act, and her mom's MS inform the small details that matter—clear signage, rest spaces, trained staff, and access that goes beyond legal minimums. We talk about ADA compliance as a starting point, not a finish line, and why better design grows markets and reduces friction for everyone. You'll hear about standout guests—from a traveler who's visited 53 countries to a Boston Marathon bombing survivor—whose stories center curiosity, resilience, and community, not clichés.If you're near LA, New York, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, or Dallas, check abilities.com for dates and resources, including product demos you can watch from home.

In this week's episode, we zoom out to talk long-term goal mapping, sparked by Katie revisiting an athlete questionnaire she filled out in 2017—and how goals like completing an Ironman or qualifying for the Boston Marathon quietly became reality through years of unsexy consistency. From there, we dig into our experiences with multisport training versus single-sport focus, sharing practical ways to use multisport to support durability, aerobic development, and time management while keeping the main goal the main thing during a focused training block or season. We also touch on lessons from the Norwegian Training Method, why consistency beats heroic workouts, how to interpret training data and fitness metrics with better context, and how to think critically about course demands using AI tools (including a deep dive into the Ironman Maine 70.3 bike course). If you're thinking about long-term progression, balancing multisport with focused training, or building fitness that lasts for years, this episode is for you.

Send us a textFor today's episode we got to read another fictional running story. These are rare but we've enjoyed every single one we read so far and this one was no exception.Toeing the start line of the 1983 Boston Marathon, Cooper McKenzie (the main character) finds himself in a race to make meaning of his troubled, unimpressive life. Cooper McKenzie is contending with the stark realities of middle age—he is fully disenchanted with his career, he is struggling to meet the financial needs of his young family, and he has accumulated an unbearable number of “what ifs” and regrets. Staring down a serious medical diagnosis, Cooper takes inventory of the pivotal moments of his life—things left unfinished, unfortunate outcomes, and a negative sense of self. He resolves to rewrite his script of failure even as his own body is failing him. A story of resilience builds as Cooper makes his way to the start of the Boston Marathon to run a distance he has never attempted, let alone completed. His reasons for risking it all to finish are painfully clear, but with such high stakes, finishing could mean the end. The Road to Redemption captures a personal journey that is altogether universal. We must traverse our lived experience, particularly those moments of vulnerability and shame, to reach the end goal of knowing the truth of what we can do and who we are.In this episode we had two guests... Tom's son, Matt Fitzgerald (yes, the same Matt Fitzgerald who has written more than 30 books about endurance), was there to help with questions if needed and Tom's other son, Sean, was in the background to help set up the technology. I guess we had 3 guests? Tom Fitzgerald doesn't always write about running but has his own impressive resume. He has authored a wide-ranging collection of impactful books, including the bestselling novel Chocolate Charlie, the popular fitness title Get Tough!, and the critically acclaimed Poor Richard's Lament. Raised in Upstate New York on the St. Lawrence River, Fitzgerald completed a series of solo open-water swims in his late teens and early 20s before joining the United States Navy and serving in Vietnam as a member of the Special Forces. He later ran the Boston Marathon three times. Fitzgerald began working on Road to Redemption (originally titled A Private Agony) in 1982, completing the novel after a lengthy hiatus at the urging of the second of his three sons, Matt Fitzgerald, himself the author of many books on running.If you'd like to learn more about the author, his website is: https://www.kingsleybooks.infoIf you'd like to see some of the othLink for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOK Discount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Corinna Bellizzi — an omega-3 expert, industry pioneer, and pro-planet health advocate who's spent over 20 years transforming essential fats. We explore resilience, health sovereignty, sustainability, and the nutrient most people are deficient in: omega-3s.1. Corinna's Story: Curiosity & GritCorinna's career wasn't built on luck, but on:Insatiable curiosityRefusing the first “no”She shared how being told she'd “never be a runner” led her to finish the Boston Marathon, showing her belief that most people are capable of far more than they think. Her superpower? Seeing possibility where others see barriers.2. Scaling a Tiny Omega CompanyCorinna grew one of the world's top omega-3 brands from under $1M to over $100M across 36 markets. Her approach combined sales mastery, education, science-first messaging, and sustainability advocacy. But even the best fish oil companies had ecological costs, leading her to algae — the original source of EPA and DHA.3. Fish Oil vs. AlgaeKey point: Fish don't make omega-3s — algae does. Algae-based omegas are:3x more bioavailable than fish oilFree from microplastics & heavy metalsEthical and sustainablePart of a regenerative system that helps the planetAt Orlo Nutrition, Corinna is pioneering polar lipid omega-3s, which the body absorbs far better than fish oil or krill.4. Signs of DeficiencyOmega-3 deficiency is common due to cooking oils, low fish intake, and nutrient-poor foods. Symptoms often hidden in “normal” struggles: brain fog, low mood, poor sleep, dry skin, inflammation, joint discomfort, cravings, hormonal imbalances, and slow recovery. Every cell needs omega-3s — without it, inflammation and cellular rigidity rise.5. Omega-3 Index TestThe Omega-3 Index Test measures EPA & DHA in red blood cells:Optimal: 8–12%Average American: 3–4%Corinna's result: 6.37% on two Orlo softgels daily, moving to three brings her into the optimal zone. Orlo includes two Omega-3 Index Tests in the first six months.6. Why Most Supplements FailLow doses, poor bioavailability, and synthetic forms mean many supplements don't work. Corinna explains why bioavailable omegas, methylated B vitamins, and quality greens are worth it — not for biohacking, but for basic human function.7. Investing in HealthWe reframed supplement cost:“Expensive compared to what? Prevention always costs less than correction.”Small, consistent investments in real food + smart supplementation save money and health long-term.8. Corinna's Four Health PillarsWhat you eatWhat you drinkHow you moveHow you sleepOmega-3s support cellular function, recovery, mood, hormones, sleep, and cognition.

In recent times, Caryn—who lives in Texas and also spends a lot of time in Colorado—became the first person (as far as we can find) to qualify for and run the Boston Marathon after a knee replacement surgery, thanks to a procedure done by Dr Richard Berger. And, Caryn's story is about that, but also so much more. Caryn has faced significant traumas in life, among them experiences with disordered eating, and she has been impacted by suicide.In her story, she talks about this, and also how the challenges and struggles she's faced have resulted in fueling her purpose in life. So, for instance, Caryn's had a long career as a dietician specializing in helping people to overcome disordered eating. She's been a leader in this field, beginning at a time when so little was known on the topic and treatment was rare to nonexistent. Caryn founded and ran an eating dis outpatient clinic for over 20 years; it grew to become the largest of its kind in Texas and one of the largest in the nation. Her career has spanned over 30 years. She's also worked as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston for over 20 years. In addition, Caryn founded Poppy's Run for Life, which she talks about: the organization raises funds for suicide education and prevention through running events. Currently, Caryn is also going after her latest big personal running challenge: running a marathon in every state! There are many powerful moments in Caryn's story, and it is truly inspirational. Mentioned in this EpisodeDr. Richard Berger: outpatienthipandknee.comMainly Marathons: mainlymarathons.comPoppy's Run for Life: poppysrunforlife.comTo support WRS, please rate and review the showiTunes/Apple:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44fa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music CreditsCormac O'Regan, of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Playtoh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coma-Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SergePavkinMusic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Camila_Noir,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lidérc Bell⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠RoyaltyFreeMusic⁠, via ⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PaulYudin⁠⁠, via⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DELOSound, via Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠chillmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠penguinmusic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, via ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways to Connect and Engage with Women's Running StoriesWRS Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@womensrunningstories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/WomensRunningStories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ womensrunningstories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  

Examining the critical management of our "personal energy economy," McKay argues that mental and emotional fuel is a finite resource that must be consciously directed toward the future rather than the past. He illustrates this powerful shift through the story of Boston Marathon survivor Adrianne Haslet, who refused to spend her energy on bitterness, choosing instead to focus entirely on her recovery and return to dance.Drawing on James Clear's Atomic Habits, the episode also reviews how strategies like "habit stacking" reduce daily friction to conserve mental capacity for what truly matters. McKay highlights the journeys of leaders like Alan Ashton and Kat Cole to show how acting with faith and owning mistakes prevents the exhausting energy leakage caused by doubt. He further argues that true vitality comes from surrounding oneself with "energizers" and letting others take the credit to preserve social reserves. Finally, the discussion emphasizes that prioritizing progress over perfection connects daily actions to a higher meaning, transforming fatigue into drive.Main Themes:Resilience requires directing energy toward the future, not the past."Habit Stacking" minimizes the energy cost of new behaviors.Doubt drains mental fuel while faith focuses it.Own mistakes and let others win to conserve social energy.Indecision traps personal growth within the boundaries of safety.Visible progress, rather than perfection, generates momentum.Connecting effort to meaning replaces fatigue with drive.Top 10 Quotes:"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.""You can spend your time replaying in your mind what someone else did or didn't do to hurt you... Or you can set aside any injustice, don't give the people who hurt you a second thought, put your energy to your future.""You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.""Faith is surrender and allows you to put your energy in the right place.""Potential grows in discomfort. And your potential begins one step out of your comfort zone.""Time has a way of just doing your work for you.""Energy shared is energy multiplied.""Meaning gives emotional energy because it ties effort to significance."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

In this week's episode, Elena shares insights from the very beginning of her return to structured training after a true three-month off-season, including what's helping her rebuild consistency, how she's thinking about early Boston Marathon goals, and why maintaining joy in her routine matters so much. We then shift to Katie's turkey trot 5K at eight months pregnant: why she decided to race, how she approached a hilly, unfamiliar course at a “smooth tempo” pace, and what she learned about managing her competitive side, listening to feel over data, and reframing expectations while running in pregnancy. We close with a listener question on mental health, postpartum recovery, and movement during any planned time off, along with Katie's framework for setting realistic expectations, maintaining identity, and focusing on a healthy long-term return to sport.

“You can't put a price on life!” say politicians, pretending to be compassionate, spending other people's money.But Kenneth Feinberg, Special Master of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, says you CAN put a price on life. He's distributed funds to the victims of 9/11, the Pulse nightclub shooting, the Boston Marathon, the Deepwater Horizon spill, the Virginia Tech shooting, the Aurora movie theater shooting, and now the LA wildfires.In this podcast he explains how he does it, why it's important, but also why (despite the success of the 9/11 fund) paying out money to victims should not be something that government does.

We're doing something a little different on Beyond the Sessions this week! Instead of answering a listener question, Dr. Emily Upshur, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, and I are unpacking a fascinating (and slightly unsettling) study about how media exposure to traumatic events can affect our mental health—and what it means for us and our kids.   In this episode, we talk about:   - A study that found people who watched repeated news coverage about the Boston Marathon Bombing showed more markers of stress than some who were actually there. - Why constant exposure to distressing headlines can keep your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. - How past trauma and chronic stress can make us more vulnerable to media-induced anxiety. - What "orienting to safety" means and simple ways to help your brain (and your child's) return to calm. - How to talk to kids about scary news stories in age-appropriate, grounding ways.   In a world where we're surrounded by 24/7 coverage of crisis and tragedy, this conversation will help you understand what's happening inside your brain and body and give you tools for focusing on building resilience and safety for your child.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:  

The 54th New York City Marathon is in the books, and what a race it was. Nearly 60,000 runners took to the streets of the Big Apple, and near-perfect weather conditions meant that times were fast and racing was fierce.We got to witness both historically-fast and historically-close races, as three women broke the 22-year-old course record and the men's race was decided by a photo finish, the smallest margin in the race's history. Hellen Obiri is now a two-time champ—winning first in 2023 and again in 2025—and Benson Kipruto claimed his fourth World Marathon Major title by mere inches. For the second time this year, Hellen Obiri and Sharon Lokedi claimed the top two spots on a World Marathon Major podium. In April, Lokedi held off Obiri to claim her first Boston Marathon title as both shattered the course record. Once again, Obiri and Lokedi (plus third-placer Sheila Chepkirui, the 2024 champ) worked together to run the fastest time in New York history. Only this time, Obiri turned the tables on her rival with a blistering final 800 meters and a 2:19:51 victory. For those watching along on the CITIUS MAG YouTube broadcast, Chris Chavez came very close to ending up on “Old Takes Exposed.” With about half a mile to go in the men's race, he called Benson Kipruto as the race winner. Kipruto, the Paris bronze medalist and a three-time World Marathon Major winner, had survived the whittling down of the lead pack over the second half and found himself in the driver's seat in Central Park, putting the hurt on 2024 London champ Alexander Mutiso Munyao. There was only one problem: with 200 meters left in the race, Mutiso found one last gear and began to reel Kipruto back in. Kipruto was focused on navigating the slight uphill finish of New York's and only realized Mutiso was so close in the final steps, turning on one last burst of speed to stay ahead of his challenger. It was a true photo finish, as 0.3 seconds separated the duo and both men were credited with a time of 2:08:09.You can find our full NYC Marathon recap here.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Produced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

How do you define your voice as a director? John-Michael Powell https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3119508/ talks about his new film "Violent Ends" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6902560 and the career journey that brought it to theaters.When the entire faculty of his art college told him to give up on becoming an artist, John-Michael moved to Los Angeles. He landed his first job at Bunim-Murray Productions, spending nights watching VHS tapes of "The Real World" and transcribing every line of dialogue onto scraps of paper. By day, he lived in a garage in the Valley off the 405 and close to the edge of moving back home.The better he became at editing TV segments with paper scraps thumb-tacked to a corkboard, the faster he spiraled towards mastering useless skills and boring stories about the way things were. But John-Michael had a knack for finding building blocks in any situation. Even alone, the work fueled him. But he still didn't yet know why that mattered to him.Soon things started taking shape: a Sundance award, editing a documentary on the Boston Marathon bombers, learning comedic timing from legend Jerry Zucker, and eventually an Emmy. Suddenly, he began seeing how the trajectory he was on, was nothing he imagined growing up in Arkansas.Listen as John-Michael shares about his career. Why Arkansas is a big part. And how it's all about constant discovery. You're really going to enjoy seeing and feeling why he's in love with building his voice as a director and uncovering the secrets that await.
