I've known Jenny Smith since the early 2000s, back when I was a brand-new pro mountain biker watching her absolutely dominate at Nationals. She's been a mentor, a competitor, a mom who kept racing when that wasn't common, and someone I've always admired for her longevity in sport.In this episode, Jenny and I talk honestly about aging as female endurance athletes, especially navigating perimenopause, hormone changes, recovery shifts, strength training, anxiety, inflammation, and evolving expectations.We discuss how training needs to change as estrogen fluctuates and why strength training becomes even more important for bone health, metabolic health, and performance. Jenny shares the reality of needing more recovery, setting goals that reflect your life stage and responsibilities, and how to embrace aging with flexibility, wisdom, and self-compassion instead of fear. Plus, we cover hormone replacement therapy and getting medical support.This conversation is for women who love endurance sport and want to keep performing, not by pretending nothing is changing, but by adapting. Aging doesn't mean decline, it can mean agency.Here's what you'll learn:Perimenopause changes training needsStrength training is non-negotiable for aging athletesRecovery matters more than everGoal setting must evolve with life stageAging brings wisdom and agencyLINKSFollow Jenny Smith CoachingLearn more about Aim High PerformanceAuthenticity and managing pressure with Sarah SturmAging athletes with Joel FrielHow women should train differently with Dr. Stacy Simms--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

 In this episode of ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,' host, Rick Prince chats with Natasha Swartley, a wilderness EMT, trail race medic and ultrarunner. Rick and Natasha discuss the importance of self-autonomy as it relates to endurance athletes, and specifically athletes that are often by themselves in trail-based environments. Below are the specific areas that Rick and Natasha chat about during this episode: Could you tell our listeners a bit more about your background?Due to the increased popularity of trail/ultrarunning, as well as gravel cycling which often takes athletes into remote sections, how important is self-autonomy and secondarily, why is no one really teaching this information to endurance athletes?I'm guessing that a lot of ultra athletes assume that if you're in a race, there will be assistance in most all areas, but this is not the case. Could you elaborate on this?Should endurance athletes assume that aid station volunteers have the requisite training to handle any medical issue/emergency?What are the most important things to understand and appreciate about self-autonomy as it relates to being an endurance athlete?For an endurance athlete, what are some of the most important things for them to have on their person when venturing out in training or racing?Getting lost is a big fear of most people. What should an athlete do if they become lost in the woods?Is GPS reliable in remote areas? If not, what is a back-up?How important is education as it pertains to self-autonomy and what resources are available to endurance athletes looking to learn more about this?Could you tell our listeners more about your business as it relates to self-autonomy and blister care/management?To learn more about Natasha, please check out her IG accounts: @thortrailracemedic and @wonderlostunicorn

In this episode, Aisha McAdams—photographer, filmmaker, and former competitive runner—shares her journey of navigating the transition from elite athlete to creative visionary. She dives into the making of her documentary Learning to Fly, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, and the founding of Rhoam Creative Studio to elevate women in the creative industry. IN THIS EPISODE The Pivot to Creative Arts: Aisha discusses the shift from being the subject of the lens as an athlete to capturing the stories of others through photography and film. "Learning to Fly": A behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration and production of her documentary, which explores the human spirit and the pursuit of greatness. Empowering Women in Media: The mission behind Rhoam Creative Studio and the importance of increasing female representation in male-dominated creative spaces. The Athlete’s Mindset in Art: How the discipline, resilience, and focus learned through years of competitive running fuel her creative process today. Redefining Success: Aisha reflects on finding fulfillment outside of race results and learning to embrace the "uncomfortable middle" of career transitions. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I realized that the same tenacity I had on the track was exactly what I needed to survive the uncertainty of a creative career." "With Learning to Fly, I wanted to show that the finish line isn't the only part of the story worth telling." "Starting Rhoam wasn't just about taking pictures; it was about taking up space in an industry where women's voices are often sidelined." "You have to be willing to be a beginner again. The transition from athlete to artist is essentially learning a new way to breathe." "Photography allows me to stay connected to the sport I love, but from a perspective that celebrates the vulnerability behind the performance."

In this week's episode, Elena interviews Katie about her reflections on the arc of pregnancy as an endurance athlete at 39 weeks. Katie shares how movement has evolved in the final month, how the role of uncertainty has shifted both mentally and physically, and what she's learned about identity, intuition, unsolicited advice, body image, and the moral language often attached to pregnancy and motherhood. She also walks through current postpartum intentions, how goals may change once baby arrives, and lessons that extend far beyond pregnancy to any major life or training transition. We also hit Elena's thoughts on restarting training after a period of low motivation, including the role of flexibility, winter realities, and creating systems that make showing up easier. A key take-home of this episode is that there are a lot of unexpected parallels between pregnancy and endurance training/racing, so we encourage both pregnant and non-pregnant athletes to check it out!To view extended show notes for this episode, visit: theendurancedrive.com/podcast To share feedback or ask questions to be featured on a future episode, please use ⁠this form⁠ or email: Katie@TheEnduranceDrive.com.

We ordered extra-extra cheese before this deep-dive episode. The main topic took up most of the recording today, involving a new narrative review that argues for a low-carb approach for endurance athletes.The real-world performance benefits of carbs are clear for anyone who has traveled this path, but at the end of the day, who cares? It's just performance. The low-carb believers can get left behind and that's ok by us.The reason we are talking about this relates to health. The carb conversation is nuanced--it's not about taking in as many carbs as you can all the time, and their arguments point out legitimate discussions about how to balance fueling in training and life. But their arguments also infiltrate the broader discussion of nutrition, and anyone who works in this field sees what can happen on the other side.There is a boneyard of ruined careers from serious endurance athletes who have undershot carb intake. The negative mental and physical health outcomes from carb restriction take this out of the academic realm and into much more serious places. We love carbs because we love performance. But mostly we love carbs because we love people, and we want to see athletes be able to shine their lights as brightly as possible.Other topics on this episode: our approach to cross training, the incredible Beth McKenzie episode on the Freetrail podcast, Alex Honnold free soloing a skyscraper, a study tracking DEXA scan results with stress fracture outcomes, and we answer an important question from a listener about dealing with a tough health diagnosis.This one starts with a different tone as we grieve the terrible news from Minnesota. Thank you for being on this journey with us.We love you all!

On today's episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I'm joined by a very special guest, Bill Armstrong, Founder & CEO of Neversecond™.Founded in 2020, Neversecond™ has quickly become my go-to fueling brand and has firmly established itself within the endurance and high-performance running community. Neversecond™ is the official fuel sponsor for RunWithAlli Coaching, and I truly believe this product can change the way endurance athletes approach fueling for marathons and beyond. Especially for those pursuing competitive performance for the long haul.Before discovering Neversecond™, I was genuinely frustrated with fueling. After years of high-volume training and racing, I had tried countless products that caused GI distress, felt inconsistent, or simply didn't meet the demands of endurance sport. That all changed when a friend in San Diego introduced me to Neversecond™. From the very first trial, the approach clicked. Precision, simplicity, and science-backed execution. I immediately knew this was the kind of fueling system serious endurance athletes need, and the kind I wanted our athletes using.In this episode, Bill and I dive into the evolution of the Neversecond™ brand and the philosophy behind it. We talk about how Neversecond™ supports endurance and high-performance athletes, what truly sets the brand apart from other fueling companies, how runners can practically apply these products in both training and racing, how to build community around fueling, and so much more.Questions we cover include:How did Neversecond™ come to life, and what gap in the endurance fueling space were you trying to solve?What backgrounds did each of you bring to building the brand, science, sport, business, or all of the above?Neversecond™ is known for precision fueling. What does that mean in practical terms for endurance athletes?Can you explain the science behind products like the C30 gel in a way runners can immediately apply?How early in a training cycle should athletes start practicing race fueling?For someone training for their first marathon, what's a simple Neversecond™ fueling framework to follow?What lessons from elite sport translate best to everyday endurance runners?If athletes could follow just one fueling principle, what should it be?How do you decide which stores carry your product?Why did you say YES to being on the RUNWITHALLI LIVE Podcast?Whether you're an endurance athlete, an aspiring runner, or simply curious about the space, I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired, better educated on fueling for running, and more aware of the endurance fueling landscape, and how Neversecond™ can support your athletic and endurance goals!Connect with Neversecond™:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramIf you enjoyed this episode, head to Apple Podcasts and tap the +Follow button to stay in the loop.

2026 is underway, and with the new year comes a familiar tradition: making resolutions. Common goals are to read more, eat healthier, start exercising or save more money. But for some, the idea of resolutions has lost its appeal altogether, abandoned amid concerns that goal setting can slip into self-criticism and harm one's mental health. So why are resolutions so hard to keep? Should we be setting goals differently, or adjusting them throughout the year? Is making a plan and sticking to it simply harder than we expect? On Wednesday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll explore those questions with a diverse group of experts who have set ambitious goals and kept them. We'll talk about their views on New Year's resolutions and how they approach goal setting in ways that actually last. Guests:- Adam Borland, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist, Cleveland Clinic- Katie Spotz, Endurance Athlete, Author- Dameyonna Willis, Executive Director and Founder, Queen IAM- Ricky Smith, Founder, Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere- Lauren Marks, High Performance and Breathwork Life Coach

In this episode of BFR Radio, we complete the three-part ACL rehabilitation series by exploring how Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) can be applied during Phase 3 and Phase 4 of the Melbourne ACL Rehabilitation Guide. Phase 3 and Phase 4 mark a critical transition point in ACL rehabilitation. Athletes are no longer simply rebuilding strength — they are required to express strength under speed, fatigue, and sport-specific complexity. The challenge becomes managing training load while restoring confidence, robustness, and performance readiness. This episode examines how BFR can evolve from an early-stage rehabilitation tool into a performance and load-management strategy, supporting: Single-leg balance and neuromuscular control Local muscular endurance and fatigue tolerance Elastic calf–Achilles capacity Running reintroduction without increasing joint load Moderate-to-heavy strength training adaptations Sport-specific conditioning using small-sided games Six key intervention studies are reviewed to illustrate how BFR can be integrated strategically across late-stage rehabilitation and return-to-sport preparation.  If you're working with athletes coming back from ACL reconstruction, my suggestion is to think less about when BFR stops and more about how its role changes across the rehab to performance continuum.   I hope you enjoyed this 3-part series.    As always, thanks for listening, and remember to keep the pump!   Chris

In this episode of ‘All Things Endurance Podcast,' host, Rick Prince chats with Chris Lee, founder and owner of Kinesis. Chris is a strength and conditioning specialist with a focus on working with endurance athletes, both amateur and professional.  Rick and Chris discuss the rise in popularity of strength training amongst endurance athletes, as well as the key benefits of strength training, how to set up a home gym and how to integrate strength training into a cardiovascular-based program. Below are the specific areas that Rick and Chris chat about during this episode:1.     Could you tell our listeners a little bit more about yourself?2.     In the past, strength training was only really done in the off-season, if at all. Why do you think there is renewed focus on strength training for endurance athletes?3.     Do you think the recent focus on longevity plays a role into the interest in strength training?4.     Specific needs aside, if an athlete could only do 5 exercises, which ones would you suggest and why?5.     Most of us know what the main benefits of strength training are. However, what are some other benefits that aren't as common knowledge (ex: durability, stiffening tendons, etc…)?6.     A lot of endurance athletes are not sure how to successfully integrate strength training into a cardiovascular program without it negatively impacting their cardio-based training sessions. Any advice in this area?7.     What equipment would you recommend to an athlete looking to build their own gym?8.     While there is increased strength training adoption amongst endurance athletes, a lot of endurance athletes are still not doing strength training. Why do think this is?9.     Could you tell our listeners a bit more about Kinesis?To learn more about Chris Lee and Kinesis (physical location and the Kinesis app), please visit:www.kinesisintegrated.com

In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine, Keely, and Hillary sit down with researcher Jill Colangelo to unpack their newly published review, “Exploring the Presentation of REDs in Ultra Endurance Sport.” This conversation dives deep into the intersection of low energy availability (LEA), disordered eating (DE), and exercise dependence (EXD), issues that are all too common yet rarely discussed openly in the ultra-endurance community. Many athletes are unknowingly underfueling, especially for efforts lasting over two and a half hours, and whether this is intentional or unintentional, the consequences can be profound. The discussion explores how extreme training volumes, psychological pressures, and cultural norms around toughness and body image make ultra athletes uniquely vulnerable to both the physiological and psychological components of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). Together, Jill and Keely break down what current research tells us, and what's still missing, about fueling, recovery, and mental health in endurance athletes. They also tackle one of the hardest questions for athletes and coaches alike: how do we tell the difference between being disciplined and being disordered? This episode challenges assumptions, questions long-held beliefs about “grit” in sport, and offers a more compassionate lens on what it means to truly care for the athlete's body and mind.

Send us a textWhat happens when a violinist with zero athletic experience decides to see if she can run a single mile? For Ashley Raines, it sparked a transformation that defied all expectations—including her own.Ashley joins us to share her captivating journey from complete non-athlete to endurance sports competitor. Just a few years ago, she was the person who joked, "If you see me running, someone's chasing me." Today, she's completed multiple marathons across the country, tackled half and full Ironman competitions, and even finished ultraruns—all starting in her late thirties.Her story isn't just inspiring; it's packed with hard-earned wisdom. Ashley candidly shares her early swimming struggles (she couldn't make it across a 25-yard pool without gasping for air), her first triathlon experience (swimming from safety kayak to safety kayak while volunteers cheered her on), and the brutal 97-degree Ironman where she made the cutoff by just 56 seconds.We dive deep into the lessons she's learned along the way: the importance of proper nutrition and hydration (after severe dehydration nearly ended races), how strength training helped her shave 40 minutes off her marathon time in a single year, and why the limiting phrase "I could never" needs to be banished from our vocabulary.As co-host of the Everyday Ironman podcast, Ashley brings a refreshing perspective on endurance sports for regular people balancing training with careers and family responsibilities. Her message resonates whether you're contemplating your first 5K or your fiftieth marathon: we often place arbitrary limits on our capabilities that deserve to be questioned and tested.Ready to challenge what you think is possible? Listen now, and perhaps you'll find yourself asking the same question that changed everything for Ashley: "I wonder if I could?"Listen to Ashley's podcast here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2SIXh4SuCUGmzPjVrE6DCD?si=CnjrPHGfTMWAgjolgJAZ0w Hydrapatch.com code OTNH10 You can reach out to us at:https://coffeycrewcoaching.comemail: Carla@coffeycrewcoaching.com FB @ Over the Next Hill Fitness GroupIG @coffeycrewcoaching.comand Buy Me a Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Carlauhttps://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNH20 https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNHBOGO?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fhydrapatch%C2%AEhttps://rnwy.life code: OTNH15https://jambar.com code: CARLA20

There seems to be a misconception when it comes to strength training for endurance athletes, they think they will get big and bulky. But that is far from it, every endurance athlete should be on a strength training program and in this episode we dive into why. Its not about being strong and nubmers on a bar.     Only buy what you need, use Think Fitness Life's trusted affiliates when the service/supplement is right for you.  For Physical Assistance Think Fitness Life Coaching is backed by 25 years of Experience guiding people to fitness freedom.

In Episode 124 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I'm joined by sports dietitian and multi-sport athlete, Alex Larson, RD LD, to explore two important topics: triathlon nutrition and body composition for endurance athletes. We dive into questions like what makes fueling for triathlon uniquely challenging, and whether or not endurance athletes should directly work on body composition goals during a training cycle (or, ever). Key timestamps:8:53: Triathlon nutrition34:20: Body composition and endurance trainingAlex and I discuss:How fueling strategies differ across swimming, cycling, and runningCommon nutrition mistakes triathletes makeHow to build a solid pre-race meal, why fueling on the bike should be a “mobile buffet," and other race-day logisticsTroubleshooting fueling and other challenges during long-course triathlonsWhether or not endurance athletes should pursue body comp goals during training (Alex has a slightly different take on this one)Which types of athletes should not be working on body comp changes Why a performance and health-first approach should guide nutrition decisionsHeads up – we talk a lot about body comp for athletes in this episode, and it is a very nuanced topic. While "getting leaner" is a common goal for many active people, I want to be clear: your health, performance, and worth do NOT depend on you being "lean," however you define that. It's okay to want to change your body composition, and for some athletes, this can be done safely in certain situations. It's also okay (and for some athletes, very necessary) to NOT chase body comp goals, ever. So please take care of yourself, and remember - your body is meant to change over time.

The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews. They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode. Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.  The shownotes for today's episode can be found at www.scientifictriathlon.com/tts471/LINKS AND RESOURCES: Monique's website and InstagramSports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes - book by Monique RyanWHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NEXT?If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll love the following episodes: The Performance Chef – Alan Murchison | EP#366 - this is my personal favourite episode I've ever done on the topic of nutrition! Carbohydrates – science and practice with Tim Podlogar, PhD | EP#354 - a great blend of science and practice by one of the foremost experts in the fieldRED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports) with Margo Mountjoy | EP#233 - Everything you need to know about RED-SEnergy availability with José Areta, PhD | EP#378 - A scientific look into energy availability and low energy availability (and how it's different from a caloric deficit)James Moran | EP#404 - James is the head of nutrition at Uno-X Pro Cycling Team.

Thank you 2XU! If you haven't tried 2XU technical compression gear, you're missing out. 2XU has been the world leader in performance compression for 20 years, helping runners feel better and recover faster with compression gear that's backed by scientific evidence. Their graduated compression gear is engineered to improve blood flow and performance while speeding recovery. My personal favorites include the Light Speed React half-tights (with tons of pockets for your phone and fuel!) as well as their Ignition Shield tights (for colder weather). But the recovery tights for use after running are more highly graduated and make me feel better after tough runs. 10/10 would recommend!
