On this week's episode we have another interview from Kathryn's time in Girona this spring. Today she is chatting with the Girona-based, American cyclist Morgan Aguirre. Morgan started cycling in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the sport. She joined a team, and started racing on the road in the US. With a fully remote job, Morgan realized that she had a unique opportunity to relocate from Seattle to somewhere that would allow her to ride her bike outside all year long so she made the move to Girona in 2022 to immerse herself in the world of cycling in Europe. Not long after her arrival in Girona she was laid off from her job, but she seized the opportunity to focus more on her riding and started racing gravel. Morgan saw quick success in the gravel racing scene and garnered some support from brands to help make her season possible. At the end of last season she joined Pas Normal, and she talks about what it's like being part of that team. Living and training in Girona has also allowed Morgan to meet and ride with some other big names in the world of gravel, and she tells us about how she has formed friendships with other women in the sport that have helped to guide her along in her career so far, and why it is so important for women to support and lift each other up.

This week on the show we are throwing it back to April, when Kathryn had a chance to sit down with professional cyclist Danni Shrosbree in Girona ahead of the kick off to her 2025 race season. Growing up as a running and competitive swimmer, Dani dabbled in triathlon a bit, then was recruited to her university rowing team. After university she was looking for an outlet to stay active and found cycling, at first just for fun, but was talked into doing a crit race (which she won) and was hooked from there. From there, Danni worked her way up the road racing ranks and eventually joined a UCI continental team - all while working full time. Danni dabbled in some off-road riding over the pandemic with her dad, and decided to give gravel racing a try in 2023. She loved it, and in looking for more gravel races, she ended up applying for, and getting accepted into the Life Time Grand Prix. Danni committed to gravel racing for the 2024, but after sponsorship changes that year she left the Grand Prix to focus on the Gravel Earth series. As a European-based rider, Danni opens up about the challenges of racing in the USA, and also the changes that she has seen as a female racer in Europe.

Welcome to Episode 59 of This is Not Happening (TINH), an Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast. We're missing a team-member this month as Davide is on an Anglo-French diplomatic mission. In Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'.  We pick a theme and each pick a song that represents that theme. We judge the selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?In Part 1, Nolan is in the seat. He brings Little Sim'z new album, Lotus. This was a reluctant choice when he made it. He thought it was an interesting album but he was far from loving it. Has that changed in a month?In Part 2, we celebrate New Music. What are our favourite new tracks from the last couple of months?                            ----- Part 1 | Little Simz | 'Lotus' -----This is the 2nd Little Simz album we're reviewed as our little Album of the Month collective. Last time round was here debut album Grey Area which would all pretty much loved. I think our experience of her work since then has varied significantly. This album has been launched in a quite dramatic and controversial environment following the collapse of Simz' relationship with former collaborator Inflo. What does Simz sound like without Inflo? Let's find out.Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think. Here are some links that we mention on the pod or think could be useful to explore;Listen to the album ... HERE.We mention the great Louis Theroux podcast interview ... HERE.Watch the video for 'Young' ... HERE.Buy some stuff ... HERE.                            ----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'New Music' -----The theme this month is New Music. Simple. What new tunes are we loving? There's LOADS of amazing music out but we also need to pick something that we think the rest of us will vote 'spin it' to.Joey chose 'Feisty' by Smerz.Nolan chose 'Next to You' by Erykah Badu and The Alchemist.David chose 'Tricky' by New Windows.Guy chose 'Lowly' by Young FathersWe all chose 4 tracks as a shortlist which we combine into a belter of a 16 track playlist, listen to that bad boy HERE.We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with Jeff Mankoff about rising tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan following a brutal crackdown and arrests on both sides. They explore how Azerbaijan's assertiveness reflects shifting power dynamics in the former Soviet space and its growing confidence after victory in Karabakh. The conversation also covers Azerbaijan's energy clout, ties to Turkey, and Moscow's costs from escalating tensions. Later, they examine Russia's faltering effort to rally the Global South against the West, with BRICS losing momentum.

Welcome to our third episode in our SBT GRVL series! This week Kathryn and Kristi welcome cyclist and mom of two, Lani Woods. Lani is captaining a GRVL Femmes team at SBT this coming weekend, leading a group of five women through the event.

This hour it's a Feisty Friday with Sheletta and Tubbsy tags in for the last half hour! 

Edie Perkins was a 46-year-old elite runner and cyclist when a catastrophic accident left her paralyzed from the chest down—just as she was entering menopause. In this candid conversation, Edie reveals how her hormonal changes intersected with her spinal cord injury recovery, leaving her with misdiagnosed UTIs, sheet-soaking night sweats she blamed on her injury, declining bone density, and a huge struggle to sort through her challenges and get quality care. Yet, through all of it, Edie continues to race (finishing second place in the handcycle division of this year's Boston Marathon), ski, and live an active life. We talk about it all and more this week. Edie Perkins served as Executive Director of the Kelly Brush Foundation from 2021 to 2025. She previously spent over twenty years managing businesses and developing curriculum products for Pre-K-12 schools. In 2017, Edie was struck by a driver while riding her bike and suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI). She is now paralyzed from the chest down. Always an athlete and active in the running and cycling communities, she sought out support after her injury and is now a competitive handcyclist and finished second at the 2025 Boston Marathon. She is thrilled to bring together her professional background, passion for sports, and new experience living with an SCI to help others thrive.Resources:The Kelly Brush FoundationGet 25% off all courses through the end of June 2025!

“The person who wins is often the one who is fending off the menopause the best!” Those were words of advice a fellow competitor once gave this week's guest, physiotherapist and competitive cyclist Nicole Oh. That would be something Nicole would come to learn firsthand just a few short years later, as she found herself navigating mysterious joint pain, hot spells, and concerning bone loss. This week Nicole talks candidly about how she preserved performance during the transition, why she now champions DEXA scans for midlife athletes, and the role of plyometrics in protecting bone health. She also discusses the importance of being proactive—not reactive—when it comes to training, recovery, and maintaining power, and her personal mission to crack 1000 watts. Nicole Oh is a physiotherapist from Sydney who specializes in the management of cyclists and triathletes. Nicole combines her cycling knowledge and physiotherapy skills to offer bike fitting services for all levels of riders. She also writes for the UK magazine Cycling Weekly on bike fitting, health and injury. Nicole was a late comer to endurance sports, starting as a triathlete, then switching to road racing in 2012 at the age of 35, racing in the UK, Europe, and now Australia. She has won National Masters titles in road and criterium racing, time trialling and cyclocross.

This is the first episode of a three part series in collaboration with SBT GRVL. Kathryn is joined by guest host and SBT founder Amy Charity, and the pair get the chance to chat with professional cyclist Ellen Noble. Ellen is part of a new initiative by the folks at SBT for 2025 called the SBT GRVL Femmes Challenge mentorship program. The program pairs professional racers with a team of amateur women who want to take on the race at SBT. The mentors will join their teams throughout the whole race, to help them with everything from pacing to nutrition and technical assistance. The goal of the program is to encourage more women to take on the race day at SBT, and show them that you don't have to be a “bike racer” to do a bike race. Ellen is the perfect mentor for this program as she has an extensive background racing all disciplines of cycling at the highest level. However, in 2019 she was diagnosed with a medical condition that threatened her career and led her to take a few years away from racing. Ellen talks about the humbling process of facing a health condition that stripped away her identity of a “bike racer” and how she has painstakingly built herself back to a place where she feels healthy and strong enough to race her bike again.

We have two segments of fun on several topics with Sheletta Brundidge during a Feisty Friday before Chad retells his classic story about getting into the French Open 40 years ago.

When some of the biggest names in menopause medicine want to learn to lift heavy, they turn to this week's guest, Nike Master Trainer and midlife fitness advocate Holly Rilinger, founder of the LIFTED Method. Because Holly gets it. She's been through her own journey with damaging diet culture, body image issues, and a challenging perimenopause that has left her navigating sheet soaking night sweats, brain fog, and fatigue. Through a midlife-specific training plan and tailored hormone therapy regimen (including testosterone), she's been able to reclaim her energy and power and is devoted to helping others do the same. This week we dive into the science and strategy behind Holly's Lifted Method and her Blueprint programs designed specifically for women in midlife, as well as for those using GLP-1 medications. This conversation is packed with insight, honesty, and a lot of muscle. You can learn more about Holly and her programs at www.theliftedmethodcoaching.comHolly Rilinger is a Nike Master Trainer, author, and founder of the LIFTED Method: An in-person and virtual platform with the focus of empowering people at all levels to strength train.

At the start of 2024, 55 year old ultrarunner Hilde Dosogne set out to achieve the world record of being the first woman to complete a marathon distance run every single day of the year. On December 31st of last year, she clocked her 366th 26.2 mile run (it was a leap year, which means she had one extra day to run) and her record was verified by Guinness in March. And we had questions, mostly how? How did she stay healthy? (Spoiler, she didn't, but kept going.) Is she managing menopause symptoms? (Yep.) What does she want others to take from her feat? (The power of the mind and so much more.) This week we share our conversation about her journey to set that Guinness World Record.Hilde Dosogne is a Belgian ultrarunner who started running at 41 and found her stride as a world-class endurance athlete quickly thereafter. Her career highlights include 100km Race Belgian Champion in 2023; 4th place in Ultrabalaton, a 210km race around Lake Balaton in Hungary; finishing Spartathlon in 2022 and 2023, and Marathon Des Sables, a 250km stage race in the Moroccan desert in 2021. She is also a mother of four and a bio-engineer. In 2024, she set a Guinness World Record by running 366 consecutive marathons in support of breast cancer research. Hilde is dedicated to pushing the limits of human endurance and proving what we're capable of when we set our mind to it.

UNBOUND Gravel is right around the corner, and here at Girls Gone Gravel we could not be more excited! Our crew is making their way to Emporia, but before the race kicks off we are joined by cycling legend Lauren Hall, and Life Time's VP of Marketing Michelle Duffy Smith to take a deep dive into all things UNBOUND. This year's 200 mile race will feature nearly 100 elite female racers, so you can be sure there will be no shortage of excitement on race day. 2025 will mark the first year that the race will feature a prize purse for all elite racers, and the 200 mile race will also see the champions from the past 5 years on the start line, so competition will be fierce. Michelle and Lauren talk through the stacked women's field, and try to determine what tactics may play out across the 200 miles of racing - including their best predictions of when LDC will take a flyer. We also get everyone's picks for their top 5 finishers. Who do you think will take the top step?Michelle and Lauren will be hosting a live broadcast covering the 200 mile race. The broadcast will kickoff at 10am central time on the Life Time Grand Prix Youtube channel. Prior to 10am coverage will be on the Life Time Grand Prix Instagram page @lifetimegrandprix, which will also be the place to catch race updates throughout the day.Follow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/ Feisty's Lift Heavy Guide: Get your guide to lifting heavy plus a 4-week training plan at https://www.womensperformance.com/lift-heavy

As estrogen drops, our midlife brains go through a lot of changes. The activity in our dopamine network declines, which can leave us going from highly motivated to “meh.” We can experience bigger cortisol spikes and have elevated levels of the stress hormone longer. We can end up feeling constantly stressed out and in a doom spiral we can't quite escape. And it doesn't exactly help that many of us are also firmly entrenched in the most demanding period of our lives. This week's guest, cognitive neuroscientist Therese Huston, PhD, is coming to the rescue with a host of simple–and quick–ways to boost our dopamine, keep cortisol in check, and help our midlife brains be their best.Therese Huston, PhD, is a cognitive neuroscientist at Seattle University and the author of four books. She's always asking, “How can we remove the pesky obstacles that get in the way of smart people?” Her latest book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science, offers science-backed actionable strategies, many of which take 5 minutes or less, to help you make the most of the brain you've got. Therese received her MS and PhD in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University. She completed a prestigious post-doc in cognitive neuroscience at the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and earned a degree in Organizational Leadership at Oxford University. She frequently gives talks and runs workshops for organizations like Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Strava, and the Cleveland Clinic.

This week's guest ultrarunner Megan Eastwood is a portrait of perseverance. She's lived through trauma, battled eating disorders, and been flattened by perimenopause. Through it all, she's learned, grown, evolved, and ultimately thrived. Now 55 and postmenopausal, Megan is out in nature every week, running, climbing, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, basically anything she can do outdoors. She's completed numerous multi-day running events, where she generally posts top five in her age group, and currently has her sights set on 70.3 Ironman triathlon events. We talk all about her journey and learnings and what she wants other women like her to know.Megan Eastwood never considered herself athletic. She was the girl no-one wanted on their sports team at school. Now 50+ she's finding the confidence to see what her body is capable of.She found ultra trail running in the UK in her early 20s, but an eating disorder ended any sports activity by the age of 30. Through career, marriage, and raising a family, she hit 39, overweight and not even able to run around the block. She knew she couldn't enter her 40s like this and started running again. Living in Vancouver, Canada she quickly found the ultra-marathon scene.Perimenopause hit hard. Like many women she couldn't understand why everything was going wrong. She dug into research and resources and turned her situation around. Her message to anyone struggling to stay fit through menopause is keep going (and strength train), you will come through the other side eventually.Subscribe to the Feisty 40+ newsletter: https://feistymedia.ac-page.com/feisty-40-sign-up-page Follow Us on Instagram:Feisty Menopause: @feistymenopause Hit Play Not Pause Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/807943973376099 Support our Partners:Midi Health: You Deserve to Feel Great.
