We (Barely) finished the NYC Half Marathon, and there were points, especially at the beginning, when we didn't think we would. This year's race is officially our slowest on record, but making it over the finish line together felt like the biggest victory yet, given the injury T.J. continues to nurse. Another race has meant even more lessons learned about pushing through pain and recognizing that we're all stronger than we think. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Scannell is back on The Running Effect Podcast.The last time he joined the show, we talked about the long-term vision behind coaching one of America's most talented distance runners. Since then, that vision has turned into one of the most remarkable stretches in American distance running history.His athlete, Grant Fisher, has won two Olympic bronze medals in Paris, broken indoor world records in both the 3,000m and 5,000m, and firmly established himself as one of the most dominant distance runners on the planet.And now, the next chapter is about to begin.On March 15th at the United Airlines NYC Half, Fisher will make his professional half-marathon debut.Coach Scannell's coaching record speaks for itself: Footlocker and Dream Mile national titles, multiple state records in the 1600, Olympic Trials qualifiers, and Olympians. He was an incredible runner himself, but in many ways he's an even better coach.That is continuing to evolve with some of the best runners on the planet, and we can't wait for you to hear our latest chat with one of the best minds in the sport.Tap into the Coach Mike Scannell Special.

I like to get my toes into a little bit of everything.”Jessica Loudermilk didn't grow up loving running. A former softball player and rugby athlete, she found running later in life and started with a goal of completing half marathons in different states. That curiosity eventually led her from road racing into the world of trail and ultra running.She quickly dove into ultras, taking on the Umstead 100 early in her trail journey and pushing through a tough final stretch to finish her first 100 miler. More recently, Jessica raced the Black Canyon 100K, where she adjusted her fueling mid-race and rallied late to hit her 15-hour goal finish.Outside of racing, Jessica works as a physical therapist helping patients regain mobility and spends time crewing and pacing friends at races like Southern States and Cocodona. When she's not running, she's chasing adventure through cave diving, travel, and building an ambulance camper for race trips.Jessica's LinksIG: @jessruns50statesYouTube: JessRuns50States Relevant LinksBlack Canyon 100K: https://www.aravaiparunning.com/blackcanyonUmstead 100 Mile Endurance Run: https://umstead100.orgCocodona 250: https://cocodona.comSouthern States 200: https://southernstates200.comNever Summer 100K: https://gnarrunners.com/never-summer-100kRim to River 100: https://www.rimtoriverendurance.comMount to Coast: https://mounttocoast.comBurrito League: https://burrito-league.comPartner Links: Hyerlyte Liquid Performance - https://www.hyperlyteliquidperformance.comMore Carbs, More Dirt, More Miles.Check them out at hyperlyteliquidperformance.comUse the code MIDPACKER for 10% off your individual order and 10% off your first subscription order.“The Kid” Hans Troyer DocumentaryPlayOn Relief - https://playonrelief.comAll Natural, Fast Acting, Long Lasting, Targeted ReliefUse MIDPACKER for 20% off your first orderTraining PeaksA training app as versatile as you.

This week, Chris Chavez, Mac Fleet, and Kyle Merber break down the biggest highlights from the LA Marathon, Jacob Kiplimo's new half marathon world record, Fred Kerley's suspension, the most anticipated events at the NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend, and lots more.Discussed in today's episode: - Nathan Martin closed out a heroic final sprint and big negative split to win the LA Marathon in 2:11:18, just 0.18 seconds ahead of runner-up Michael Kamau. He split 66:18-65:00 to reel in Kamau. - Jacob Kiplimo returned to the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon (the same course where he first made history in 2021) and broke the half marathon world record again with a 57:20 victory. He took 10 seconds off the previous record held by Yomif Kejelcha (57:30).- The AIU announced 2x Olympic medalist and 2022 World champion Fred Kerley received a two-year ban for whereabouts failures, sidelining him through August 2027. Results from Dec. 6, 2024 – Aug. 12, 2025 have been disqualified.- The most anticipated distance events at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend.+ More ____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Mac Fleet | @macfleet + Kyle Merber | @kylemerberProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: A blast from the past, Olipop's Shirley Temple combines smooth vanilla flavor with bright lemon and lime, finished with cherry juice for that nostalgic grenadine-like flavor.

We stocked up on neck floaties before this great episode! The main topic was a discussion of the constrained total energy expenditure model, which argues that physical activity will often have a smaller impact on energy expenditure than predicted. We do an interdisciplinary zoom-out to talk about how it relates to the research on low energy availability and within-day deficits. The conclusion: fueling the fire is key to prevent the fire from going cold.We also have an exciting update from the US Half Marathon Champs! People always deserve love and compassion. But systems respond to pressure.And this one was full of amazing topics! Other topics: our hot tub experiment continues (DO NOT DO THIS), strange nervous system responses to uphill treadmill workouts, the Canyons 100k, why we love the LA Marathon giving an option to stop at 18 miles and receive a finisher's medal, a rant about people who are angry about “participation trophies,” what runners can learn from cyclists about pre-race training, colon health for runners, training race timing and approach, worries about outdoor risks when running, and lots more.Let's stock up on some big boss meals and GET SOME.

Bideford Half Marathon Recap This one was meant to be a full-send race… until a slightly grumpy hip flexor had other ideas. So the plan changed: treat it as a sensible long run, keep the ego on a leash, and see if the hip behaved itself. The early miles were deliberately chilled while everyone else blasted off like it was the Olympics. Things ticked along nicely until about 17 km when the hip politely reminded me it hadn't done this distance for a while. Pace eased back a touch, crisis averted, and it settled down again. Finished in 1:52:01, which wasn't the time I originally went for — but the real win was getting through 21 km without breaking the hip or my marathon training block. Sometimes the smartest race is the one where you don't try to be a hero.

"It's been a really, really tough couple days. I've never been such a combination of stressed and sad." At Sunday's USA Track and Field Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta, the top three women — Jess McClain, Emma Grace Hurley, and Ednah Kurgat — were led off course in the final mile of the race. The three were on track to take the podium, and to earn spots to represent the United States on a World Championship team. All signs were pointing to Jess, Emma Grace, and Ednah becoming Team USA ahead of the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen this September. National titles, prize money, sponsor bonuses, and, of course, the glory of breaking the tape and earning that moment were all on the line. Much has been said about the race, the misdirection, and the immediate aftermath. Molly Born ultimately broke the tape, as Jess, Emma Grace, and Ednah clawed their way back into the mix. But what happens now? The one unanimous takeaway from that day in Atlanta is that no one feels good about how the day played out. Today, Emma Grace Hurley comes to us from her much-deserved post-race vacation in the Cayman Islands to offer her unique perspective on all of this. Emma Grace spent the early years of her running career as a member of Atlanta Track Club Elite. She has served on committees for USA Track and Field, and currently lives in Indianapolis, where she is coached by former Atlanta Track Club Elite coach Andrew Begley. Emma Grace has a deeper understanding than most about how these various organizations work, about what goes into pulling off a road race of this scale and, of course, about what it's like being an athlete with so much at stake.

This week we're joined by Allison Mercer, a Team USA ultrarunner, championship competitor, and thoughtful voice in the running community, to unpack the controversy that unfolded at the 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta.Allison is an accomplished distance runner who has represented the United States at the ultrarunning world championships and competed at national championship events herself. Allison is also a leader in the Atlanta running community and served as the three-hour pacer for the marathon event, which occurred on the same day.On race day in Atlanta, chaos erupted in the closing mile when the lead vehicle directed the front pack of women — including Jess McClain, Emma Grace Hurley, and Ednah Kurgat — off the correct course. The mistake dramatically altered the outcome of the national championship and raised serious questions about race organization, athlete fairness, and accountability. In response, Allison wrote a widely discussed op-ed for Outside Run analyzing the incident and the reaction that followed. Rather than simply assigning blame, she explored the deeper structural issues behind championship road racing — from course control and race operations to governing-body policies — while urging the running community to pursue accountability without losing perspective on the people involved.In this conversation, Allison brings her experience as an athlete and community leader to share how we can better respond to mistakes in our community. We appreciate Allison's insight!You can find Allison on Instagram @onewomandancepartyFollow us on Instagram and Facebook Interested in hiring a coach?

A weekend of sparkle, sneakers, and shared heart. Princess Half Marathon Weekend brought out everything we love about runDisney—creative costumes, cool-weather miles, and castle magic—but also the kind of community you can feel in your bones. We navigated an expo frenzy as Brooks' princess-themed shoes sent lines snaking across the building, watched Disney pivot fast to keep characters and bands on course during a misty 10K, and soaked in small moments that turned into big memories: a family's first 5K together, a triumphant TinkerBob, and the scent of BoardWalk bacon drifting through a fast, happy morning.The half marathon became a quiet masterpiece. Overcast skies, steady breezes, and a surprise wave from Cinderella, the Prince, and Fairy Godmother lifted runners through those famous Magic Kingdom miles. Near the finish, a semicircle of fairy godmothers dusted us with wishes, and the course felt less like a race and more like a rite of passage. Some of us set PRs. Others walked every step on purpose. All of us leaned on run-walk-run, hydration, and patience—the essentials Jeff Galloway taught us so many times.And then the finish line gave us a moment we'll never forget. A chair where Jeff once stood filled with Mickey gloves, ribbons, and a lone Gymboss. Pacers gathered with flags, cheering wave after wave just as Jeff would, offering thumbs-ups and “you did it” to faces still catching their breath. When the sun finally broke through, it felt like a blessing on a weekend that was both hard and healing. We also check in on races from Tel Aviv to Seattle and Atlanta, sharing wins, decade PRs, and lessons that carry beyond the parks.If you ran, cheered, or simply needed a reminder that miles can mend, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and tell us: What's your favorite Princess Weekend moment—or your best Galloway memory?

Rachel just had her biggest breakthrough yet! On Sunday, she ran 1:14 for a massive personal best in one of the most surprising races she's had. She breaks it down with Karen and Megan and shares about arriving at the course late, not being able to get in a warm up, thoughts throughout the race, and closing in a 5:13 for the last mile of the race. She and Megan also share about what races they're looking at next. The Chicks also share their reflections on the USATF Half Marathon Championships controversy, where the the lead pack of women were led off the course and weren't able to attain podium finishes as a result.Plus: Is it a good idea to take a weekly rest day? Which day is best for recovery?_________________CHICK CHAT– Send us your questions at gettingchickedpodcast@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram at @gettingchickedYOUR HOSTS– Karen Lesiewicz | @kare_les on Instagram– Rachel DaDamio | @rdadamio on X– Megan Connelly | @meganmorantwwe on InstagramFOLLOW OUR SHOW– Subscribe on Apple Podcasts here– Follow on Spotify here– Follow the show on Instagram here
Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia break down a chaotic weekend in American track and field headlined by a lead vehicle disaster at the USATF Half Marathon Championships and a slate of big results at the USATF Indoor Championships.Discussed:– The 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta were thrown into chaos when a lead vehicle guided the top women off course in the final mile with Jess McClain holding a big lead at the time. Molly Born, who stayed on course, won in 69:43. McClain, Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat all filed appeals immediately after.– USATF's jury of appeals acknowledged the course was inadequately marked but said it had “no recourse within the rulebook” to alter the results, which was a ruling that drew widespread backlash. Atlanta Track Club CEO Rich Kenah took full responsibility.– Because the race served as the selection event for the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, the wrong turn didn't just cost the leaders prize money but also potentially cost them spots on Team USA. The selection situation is a tangled mess with no clean fix under current rules.– Cole Hocker won the men's 3,000m in a blanket finish in 7:39.25. Young missed the World Indoor team by .01 to Yared Nuguse after drifting off the rail in the home straight.– Emily Mackay won the women's 3,000m in a five-second personal best of 8:30.01, outkicking Elle St. Pierre in the final stretch for her first US title.– Hocker and Yared Nuguse then faded to 5th and 4th in Sunday's 1500m, won by former UW teammates Nathan Green and Luke Houser.– 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus went 5-for-5 as a professional, winning the men's 800m in 1:46.68 with a tactically sharp performance.– Nikki Hiltz extended their US title streak to eight, winning the women's 1500m in 4:11.34.– Jordan Anthony won the men's 60m in 6.45, beating Trayvon Bromell and Noah Lyles.Plus: Tokyo Marathon recap, the Louis Hinchcliffe NCAA return and the Iowa State/Seth Clevenger doping investigation.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athleticsProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: A blast from the past, Olipop's Shirley Temple combines smooth vanilla flavor with bright lemon and lime, finished with cherry juice for that nostalgic grenadine-like flavor.

We're doing our first early-release episode to talk about the shocking ending of the US Half Marathon Championships on Sunday. As Jess McClain was charging to victory, with Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat poised to make Team USA with her, all 3 athletes were directed off course by a police escort motorcycle, the official lead vehicle, and a media motorcycle. The disgrace is what happened next. USATF (the governing body for US running) responded by shifting the blame to local organizers and failing to rectify the incompetence that created this situation. If USATF fails to act on behalf of athletes, the leadership has to change.Plus, there were so many other amazing topics for episode 300! Other topics: a discussion on elite athlete training in cycling and what that might mean for training theory for everyone else, a new gel we love, a cool study on optimism and longevity, “gravel” shoes, and a question about taking bicarb at night. It was all mixed with the usual shenanigans and fun!Thank you all for being here for this wild ride. We love you all!

Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
If you've been running to lose weight but the scale won't budge, this episode is for you. I used to run multiple half marathons - logging 3-4 runs per week with 7+ mile weekend runs - and my body looked exactly the same. In today's episode I'm sharing 3 key reasons why I didn't lose weight with running. And if you are a mom trying to lose weight, I also share about a better approach: strength training. When you lift weights, your body adapts by building muscle - which burns calories 24/7, not just during your workout. This creates sustainable fat loss at a higher calorie level, so you're not starving yourself. In my Fat Loss Formula for Moms program, we focus on resistance training that actually changes your body composition while fitting into your busy life. If you're tired of the cardio hamster wheel and ready to feel strong again, book a free discovery call with me. -Rachel Next Steps: Book a free discovery call Follow me on Instagram: @effectivefitnessforwomen Join my free Facebook community

What if every step you took felt like a small miracle you could share? That's the energy running through this episode as we move from Princess Weekend prep into one of the most inspiring stories we've ever hosted. We kick things off with training touchpoints, expo strategy, and course notes for the Run Disney Princess 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon—plus our meetup details, virtual queue tips, and the can't-miss Main Street moment for first-timers. If you're mapping out corrals, merch runs, or yoga logistics, we've got your plan.Then we sit down with Amanda Ferrin—The Walking Miracle—whose life with a rare autoimmune disease didn't end her story; it sharpened it. Amanda shares how a spontaneous 7K in Denver led to a last-minute Disneyland 10K, a Dopey bib through charity, and a season of marathons from London to New York. She explains scleroderma's impact with honesty and warmth, talks about living with constant pain, and how moving—often dancing—through miles brings relief, dopamine, and community. Her signature sequin jacket isn't a costume; it's a choice to celebrate every day she gets.This conversation holds more than race talk. When Amanda needed specialized surgery and IV antibiotic therapy, the runDisney community rallied overnight to fund it—turning hope into action and a bill into a lifeline. We hear what recovery looks like now, the races she's eyeing next (Rome, Paris, London, and the New York City Half), and why joy, presence, and kindness matter more than pace. Along the way, we share a polished Princess Weekend guide—expo hours, Brooks drops, transport windows, photo tips—and a lively Race Report packed with PRs, scenic routes, runway 5Ks, and hot chocolate finishes.Subscribe for weekly stories, race guides, and real talk from a community that runs on heart.
