What does it mean to be a trail runner in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s—or even your 70s? How do years of pounding dirt, chasing summits, and chasing goals shape our bodies, minds, and identities? Welcome to The Aging Athlete, a new Trail Runner Nation mini-series co-hosted by ultrarunning icon Krissy Moehl. Every 5 to 6 weeks, we'll dive into what it looks like to grow older in this sport we love—exploring how to train smarter, fuel better, recover more intentionally, and stay motivated through the decades. In this second episode of the Aging Athlete Series, we speak with Dr. Scott Drum, an exercise physiologist and lifelong endurance athlete. We explore how training, VO₂ max, heart health, sleep, and social connection evolve as we age—and how understanding these changes can help runners continue performing and thriving for decades. Dr. Drum explains how we can maintain (and even improve) cardiovascular fitness into our 50s and beyond, and shares his personal experience with AFib as a cautionary but hopeful tale. The conversation blends science, personal insight, and practical strategies to help runners of all ages stay motivated, train smart, and run for life.

OVERVIEWHeat acclimation is a big topic this summer, especially because heat training has been shown to also improve oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood - similar to altitude training! But, heat training can be tricky, especially for Time-Crunched Cyclists. What if you can't train in the hottest part of the day because of work? What if you spend your workday in a cold, air conditioned office building? Should you sit passively in a sauna or hot bath, or exercise with extra layers and no fans? For how long, at what temperatures, etc.? Coach Adam Pulford provides actionable, pragmatic heat training guidance for amateur and everyday cyclists so you can perform better in the heat and reduce your risks for heat illness.TOPICS COVEREDWhy should you get heat adaptedHow long does heat adaptation take?Native heat vs. Added HeatTraining Schedule for Native Heat TrainingAir conditioning and "global heat stress"Training Schedule for Added Heat TrainingHow do you know you're heat adapted?LINKS/RESOURCESHeat Adaptation for Females: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Physiological Adaptations and Exercise Performance in the Heat - PMCGoing one step further with altitude training or heat training Heat training 101: A comprehensive guide for athletesHow much do you sweat? - Asker's Sweat Rate CalculatorHeat training guide for cyclists | EF Pro Cycling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6422510/ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

This week's show brought to you by: Kila Running When we first got connected with the team at Kila insoles, they explained that they can make high-performance insoles perfectly designed for your feet within days, just by using the Kila Running app. All you have to do is open the app and place the phone on the ground, then take a few photos of your feet using the FaceID camera. This allows them to create a full 3D scan within minutes. They don't even need your shoe size! Once you get past the weirdness of taking photos of your feet, it's pretty cool to see the images for yourself and then get the notification that the scans are being sent to their North American orthotics lab. After that the insoles arrive as fast as that same week. Kila isn't the first company to use an iPhone or iPad to scan your feet for orthotics—it's actually becoming the standard method doctors and sports medicine clinics use to create a foot cast. But Kila is bringing that same technology to the direct-to-consumer space, at about one-quarter the cost. Most insoles feel bulky and rigid, but Kila custom insoles are more like having a layer of supershoe foam underfoot propelling you through your stride. All you have to do when they arrive is slip out your old insoles and put these in. It might take some getting used to the full-foot contact but it's pretty amazing how great they feel and you won't be disappointed. Just head to kilarun.com and you can get $70 off your first pair and with a 60-day money back guarantee.  Creatine Gummies Designed for the Needs of Endurance Athletes You've undoubtedly heard about the benefits of creatine. It's been heralded as the single most effective legal supplement on the market. But, if you've tried it before then you know creatine can also lead to stomach issues, bloating, cramping and can be hard to take consistently. Well, not any longer with the first creatine gummy formulated specifically for endurance athletes from MAS Edge. Unlike cheap powders, MAS Edge creatine gummies contain micronized creatine, which is a 100% soluble type of creatine with superior bioavailability. That means they are specifically formulated to be absorbed quickly so it's gentle on the stomach, eliminates water retention, and doesn't give you the bloated feeling you may have experienced with traditional creatine powders. Plus, the gummies are so delicious that you'll look forward to taking them every day. If you're ready to experience a pure, fast-acting creatine that fuels your muscles, enhances your performance and helps you recover every time you train then you have to check them out.

What happens when you combine deep science with real-world results—and package it all in a way that actually makes sense to young athletes? You get Kelsey Poulter.In today's episode, we're joined by the founder of Next Level Athletes, a sports nutrition expert who has quickly become one of the most trusted voices in the performance space. With a background in Exercise Physiology and a skyrocketing online presence that's grown from 2,000 to over 450,000 followers in just over a year, Kelsey is proof that authenticity, clarity, and results still win.Kelsey is on a mission to help athletes—from high school hopefuls to pros in the MLB—turn food into a performanceweapon. She believes nutrition is wildly underutilized in sports and calls it the “separator” that most athletes are missing. Kelsey likes to talk about how elite outcomes require elite actions—often the boring, consistent ones no one wants to talk about. In this episode she dives into the real difference between eating for general health and eating for performance, why sugar and carbs are absolutely essential for athletes, and how to rethink popular nutrition trends like skipping breakfast, cutting out food groups, or obsessing over seed oils. Whether you're a coach, a parent, or an athlete chasing your potential, this episode is packed with perspective-shifting advice that can help you level up—without losing your mind.Tap into the Kelsey Poulter Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

But there are absolutely times when Coach Adam Pulford recommends active recovery (easy ride, walking, yoga, etc.) and other times when he advocates for complete rest.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Steven Villagomez, a clinically trained exercise physiologist and one of the most grounded, data-driven health professionals I know. We unpack the real foundations of health—sleep, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery—and why none of your efforts in diet, fitness, or supplementation will work without getting these right first. Steven breaks down how simple tools like mouth taping, air quality, and HRV-based coaching can shift everything from glucose regulation to mental clarity.We also dive deep into the current conversation around testosterone, the FDA's quiet reversal on long-standing TRT fears, and how most men are overlooking the root cause: lifestyle stress. Steven explains how regulating SHBG, improving recovery scores, and leveraging hormetic stressors like cold exposure and breathwork can dramatically increase natural testosterone levels—no prescriptions needed. This is a masterclass on what real health optimization looks like when you combine evidence-based practice with lived experience.Most importantly, we explore the mission behind the Make America Healthy Again movement and why it's time to reclaim our agency from a system driven by pharmaceutical profits. Steven and I talk about the urgent need for preventive care, functional diagnostics, and coaching that connects the dots—because health doesn't come from symptom management; it comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and showing up with intention.

Unfortunately, his dream of a professional career ended as a chronic injury forced him to retire at the young age of 18. This disadvantage became an advantage as Verheijen started his coaching career at the age of 19. He studied Exercise Physiology and Sport Psychology at the Free University Amsterdam and completed his Masters Degrees in 1995. In 1995, Verheijen developed his Masters thesis into the book ‘Conditioning for Soccer' which became the coach education book of the Dutch FA (KNVB) in 1997. Verheijen became a pro-license instructor at the Dutch FA in 1998.  In 2014, Verheijen published the best-selling book ‘Football Periodisation'. More than 30,000 copies have been sold worldwide. His latest books are ‘Football Coaching Theory' (2020) and ‘Tactical Principles' (2022). In our discussion today, we talk about the importance of understanding fitness as the number of game actions a player can complete in a minute, not mindless running. Fitness must be focused on the ability to repeat game actions, not simply run without the ball. We also discuss injuries, how the US develops slow players because of our tournament model, how playing up must be managed better, and so much more.  Learn more about Raymond and grab his books at www.fcevolution.com.  BECOME A PREMIUM MEMBER OF CHANGING THE GAME PROJECT If you or your club/school is looking for all of our best content, from online courses to blog posts to interviews organized for coaches, parents and athletes, then become a premium member of Changing the Game Project today.
