How do AI coaches/training platforms compare to human coaches? There are pros and cons to both options, but from my (admittedly biased) perspective, human coaches are still head and shoulders better than any AI platform I've seen. Love the show?

Runners have more data, technology, nutrition products, and training advice than ever, so why does Dr. Phil Maffetonebelieve many of us are actually getting slower and less healthy? In this wide-ranging conversation, Phil challenges the resurgence of high-carbohydrate fueling, explains why building a strong aerobic system still matters, and shares how he used heart-rate training decades before it became mainstream. He breaks down the Maffetone Method, why runners should measure training by time rather than miles, and how slowing down today can ultimately help you run faster tomorrow. The conversation also explores the difference between collecting data and actually using it intelligently, along with Phil's belief that diet and metabolic health can quietly undermine even the best training plan. And in classic Phil fashion, the discussion eventually wanders into music, creativity, awareness, and why becoming a better runner may require developing more of yourself than just your legs.

Timestamps 02:12 | What Runners Are Still Getting Wrong Phil argues that despite decades of new research and technology, runners continue to repeat many of the same mistakes around training and nutrition. 03:18 | The Return of High-Carb Fueling The conversation tackles the trend toward extremely high carbohydrate intake during endurance events and Phil's strong disagreement with the direction it's taking. 09:08 | The Heart-Rate Experiment That Changed Everything Phil tells the story of putting an early heart-rate monitor on Mark Allen and asking one of the world's best triathletes to dramatically slow down in order to eventually get faster. 14:44 | Are We Using All This Data Wrong? With runners surrounded by watches and metrics, Phil explains why collecting numbers is very different from using them intelligently. 18:32 | How the Maffetone Method Actually Works Phil explains aerobic heart-rate training, why runners shouldn't necessarily train together at the same pace, and why he prefers measuring training by time instead of mileage. 27:28 | Are Today's Runners Actually Healthier? Despite record-breaking performances at the elite level, Phil argues that the broader running population is getting slower and points to metabolic health and excess body fat as major concerns. 46:16 | Want to Be a Better Runner?

This week we are revisiting a previously recorded episode of All Things Apostolic. Though originally aired earlier, the biblical truths shared in this lesson remain timeless and highly relevant today. In this episode, Dr. Nathaniel J. Wilson explains why passion and hard work alone are not enough to build an effective ministry.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"Let's just state the obvious. Runners are weird people. We know it and we embrace it. But if running is not your thing, please don't skip this conversation. There's something here for you.Cary and Micah Morgan are pillars of the Birmingham AL running community. More than that, they're wonderful people who genuinely care about others and love well. Cary is a physical therapist and owner/lead coach of Cadence Run Coaching, a business that helps runners achieve their goals. Micah is a nurse practitioner who also happens to be one of the world's most elite ultra-runners. For about the last ten years, Micah has been crossing one challenge after another off her list, including the Badwater 135 ultramarathon, which is considered the toughest road race in the world. In fact, on July 27, 2026 Micah will compete in her third Badwater 135. You can track her progress using the link below.In our conversation, we definitely talked about running. But more than that, we talked about the community and connection that comes from a shared passion. No matter what you love to do, when you find others who love it like you do, there's a special connection available. Cary and Micah are faithful friends and companions to so many, and more recently have walked through shared grief as well. In December 2025, the Birmingham running community lost a good friend when Christina Chambers' life was suddenly cut short. We talk about that pain, as well as how many people Christina touched by her friendship.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, Kyle calls an audible from the planned episode to mark a milestone that changed the entire direction of his life: the ten-year anniversary of his first open-heart surgery. For longtime listeners, this is a story that has been referenced many times, but for newer members of the Back of the Pack community, this may be the first time hearing how a heart condition, a failed valve, and two surgeries became part of the foundation for everything that came after. Kyle looks back on the dreams that changed, the warning signs that could not be ignored, the doctors who made all the difference, and the moments from 2016 that still remain impossible to forget. This episode is honest, personal, emotional, and at times surprisingly funny, because sometimes survival stories come with scars, hospital gowns, bad timing, and a few memories that still feel unreal ten years later. More than anything, this is a reflection on what it means to keep going when life interrupts the plan in the biggest way possible. From the first steps after surgery to the long road back toward racing, this story helps explain the runner, the podcast, and the stubborn refusal to let one defective valve write the ending. Ten years later, Kyle is still here, still moving, still telling the story, and still probably fine. Join us for a very personal episode about the heart behind the miles.

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about what happens when runners have too many opinions in their ear: a shoe store telling them one thing, a physical therapist telling them another, a coach saying something else, and social media adding even more noise. Valerie explains why her coaching starts with one core idea: running is a movement pattern, and if the pattern is not working, no shoe, brace, or trendy fix will magically solve it. The episode focuses on how runners often arrive already injured and already overwhelmed, which is exactly why they need a simple, consistent, movement-based approach.The conversation also covers why runners need an open mind when they begin the immersion process, why “the shoe is just a vehicle,” and why structural imbalances do not mean you are broken. Valerie shares how she approaches runners the same way she approaches squat and deadlift coaching in the gym: show the movement, correct the movement, and then repeat it until the body learns. The episode closes with practical advice about checking in, uploading video, joining Zooms, and letting the coach see the whole body so she can identify what is actually causing pain and help runners move toward pain-free running.▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our July series Why Are We Like This? continues with a look at the social side of endurance sports. Runners and endurance athletes bond over some very strange things: hills, heat, porta-potties, chafing, finish lines, race medals, bad decisions, and the phrase “never again” even though we are absolutely going to do it again. This episode dives into how shared suffering can create fast friendships, whether it happens during a rough race, on a brutal hill, at mile 10 of a half marathon, or through the shared heartbreak and celebration of something like London Marathon lottery day. We talk about the race friend pipeline, where strangers become familiar faces, familiar faces become running buddies, and running buddies become road trip partners, run club regulars, post-race beer companions, and family. There is also plenty of love for the post-race story economy, because runners trade tales of heat, hills, blisters, bathroom emergencies, forgotten registrations, and miserable races like sacred currency. We also dig into endurance peer pressure, group bad ideas, FOMO, and why “come on, it'll be fun” has probably caused more suffering than most training plans. But this episode also reminds us that life outside the miles still matters, whether that means concerts, lake weekends, family obligations, recovery, or simply putting the Garmin down for a while. Finally, we look at why run clubs work, especially places like Chasing Rabbits Run Club, where the miles matter, but the conversations afterward may matter even more. Why are we like this? Because somewhere between the miles, the misery, the medals, the group photos, and the parking lot conversations, we found our people.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... The Power Of Shared Infrastructure There is a quiet assumption baked into how most nonprofits operate. If you need something, you build it yourself. Need a fundraising event, plan one. Need HR, handle it in-house. Need systems, cobble them together. The nonprofit shared infrastructure that could carry all of this rarely enters the conversation, because the default is to go it alone. I understand where the instinct comes from. Nonprofits are scrappy by necessity. Budgets are tight, and doing it yourself feels like the responsible, frugal choice. But there is a hidden cost to building everything from scratch, and it shows up in the same place every time. Your team's time. Your leadership's attention. The liability nobody was watching. The event that ate six months of staff capacity to net twelve thousand dollars. When an organization tries to be its own event company, its own HR department, and its own back office all at once, it is running several businesses it never meant to start. And none of them get the focus they need to be excellent. I've been thinking about this lately I recently had a conversation about exactly this with Bob Burbridge, founder of the Battle Green Run Foundation and a longtime leader in the HR world. He built something that lets small nonprofits plug into infrastructure they could never build on their own, and that changes what is possible for them. Running An event is a business, not a fundraiser Here is the thing most nonprofits underestimate. A run, a walk, a gala, a conference. These are not fundraisers you tack onto your year. Each one is a whole business, with its own logistics, systems, vendors, permits, marketing, and expertise. Bob's foundation exists to run one road race well. Twelve board members. A website that handles all the fees. Relationships with sixty local restaurants. Decades of accumulated knowledge about how to actually pull it off. That is what it takes to do an event at a level where the numbers work. Now picture a small nonprofit deciding to launch its own 5K to raise money. Same permits. Same logistics. Same insurance. Same marketing. Except now it is being done by two staff members who already have full-time jobs, learning it all for the first time, for an event that might clear ten thousand dollars if everything goes right. The math rarely favors building your own event from zero. The work is enormous and the expertise is real, and both are invisible until you are standing in the middle of them. Before any organization takes on an event, it helps to ask a hard question. Are we prepared to run this like the business it actually is? If the honest answer is no, that is worth knowing before you commit a year of your team's life to it. Shared infrastructure changes the math This is where Bob's model gets interesting, because it solves the problem from a completely different direction. Instead of each nonprofit building its own event, one organization builds the event infrastructure once, and many nonprofits plug into it. A small nonprofit brings a team of runners. They raise money through a website that already exists, run by people who already know what they are doing, with fees already covered. When the race is over, the proceeds come to them. They got the full benefit of a professionally run event without having to become an event company to get it. He built the same thing in his professional life through the professional employer model, where small businesses pool together so they can access group health plans, HR expertise, and compliance support that no single small employer could afford alone. The logic is identical. Specialized infrastructure is expensive to build and cheap to share. When you pool it, small organizations get access to a level of capability that would otherwise be completely out of reach. One line from that conversation has stayed with me: "We become a platform for these nonprofits to raise money on their own. We pay all the fees, and then when the race is over and our bills are paid, we take all that's left and share it with all the teams." What I appreciate about this framing is that it explains the mechanism. The value is not that Bob's group is generous, though they are. The value is structural. One entity absorbs the fixed cost and the expertise, and many organizations draw on it. That is leverage, and it is available far more often than nonprofits assume, if they stop defaulting to building alone. Some things should never be built in-house The same principle applies to the least glamorous part of running an organization. Human resources. Bob spent decades in the HR world, and his advice was direct. For most small nonprofits with paid staff, HR is not something to handle yourself. The regulations span fifty states and the federal government. The liability is real. And the power imbalance, when something goes wrong, is enormous. I know this one personally. Years ago I had an employee in another state and I had done everything correctly. New York State decided otherwise and started sending me fines that climbed toward thirty thousand dollars. I had to hire a lawyer. I spent many hours on paperwork. In the end I was right, I had done nothing wrong, and it still cost me thousands of dollars and a mountain of time. The lawyers on the other side had resources my small organization simply did not. Being in the right was not enough to make it painless. That is the kind of risk that lives quietly inside "we'll just handle it ourselves." HR compliance is specialized work, and specialized work is exactly the kind of thing that benefits from shared infrastructure. When it starts eating too much of your time, or when the liability is more than you can responsibly carry, that is the signal to bring in people who do it for a living. Community is the return most events forget to count There is one more piece of Bob's model worth naming, because it reframes what an event is even for. When you make an event a real community experience, the money is not the only return. The nonprofits at Bob's race network with each other. Startups learn from organizations that have been around for decades. Runners come back year after year because it feels like something, not just a transaction. The Minutemen fire a volley. A buffet from sixty restaurants. Families showing up to help. That community is an asset, and it compounds in a way a check never will. The fortune in fundraising is in the follow up, and an event that builds real relationships gives you something to follow up about. I had such a good time with you. Would you like to come tour our facility. Those conversations are where major gifts and lasting support actually come from, and they only exist if the event was built to create connection, not just to collect donations. Giving days and one-click donations have their place. But an experience people participate in creates relationships, and relationships are the quiet engine underneath every organization that fundraises well. What this makes possible When a leader sees this clearly, the pressure to build everything shifts. The question stops being how do we pull off our own event, our own HR, our own everything, and becomes what infrastructure already exists that we could plug into instead. That question opens doors. It means a small organization can access a professionally run event without becoming an event company. It means HR risk can be shared instead of shouldered alone. It means leadership attention goes to the mission, not to running four accidental businesses at once. The work does not disappear. It gets focused. And focus, applied to the few things only your organization can do, is what separates the nonprofits that thrive from the ones that stay stuck doing everything themselves. The bottom line This is not about doing less. It is about not building alone what someone has already built. Nonprofits can run excellent events. They can protect themselves from risk they cannot afford. They can grow without becoming experts at everything. Not by shouldering every function themselves, but by plugging into the infrastructure that is already there.

When your doctor recommends surgery, there is one question most runners never ask. But it may be the most important question of the entire conversation. In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler explains why runners should not simply accept a recommendation for surgery without understanding how confident the surgeon is that the procedure will actually get them back to running. Using a recent second-opinion strategy call with an experienced ultrarunner, Dr. Segler discusses how asking for a "guarantee" isn't really about demanding certainty—it's about understanding your surgeon's confidence, expectations, and reasoning. In this episode, you'll learn: • The one question most runners are afraid to ask before surgery • Why "Can you guarantee I'll get back to running?" is really about confidence, not contracts • How surgeons think differently about different injuries • Why vague surgical recommendations should prompt more questions • How to decide whether surgery truly supports your running goals • Why reassurance and clarity matter before making a permanent decision The goal is not simply having surgery. The goal is choosing the treatment that gives you the best chance of getting back to running.

For many athletes, especially in the world of endurance sport, the exhaustion that follows a hard effort is part of the reward for the training it took to make it happen. But when the mountaintop feeling of a new personal best fades away and the fatigue still lingers, it might be a sign of something deeper lurking beneath the surface.  What if that fatigue you're battling during a heavy training block is more than simply the product of hard work? What if the impacts of an activity-filled lifestyle might actually be contributing to long term health risks? These are the questions that have often gone unheard or overlooked by athletes at all ability levels, but are crucial to making sure that sport remains a healthy part of any athlete's life.  While there's no simple catchall answer to the above questions, a recurring theme that has drawn the ongoing attention of leading sports scientists, dieticians, and doctors is the impact of low iron levels. Yet for all iron's importance to our overall health–and sport performance–it remains largely misunderstood by many athletes. That's why a group of Canada's leading sport-science minds have spent the last three years compiling the research for a landmark consensus on the role of iron in sport. This week on The Shakeout Podcast we're joined be Kelly Anne Erdman, a registered sport dietitian, Olympian, and co-author of “Canada's Best Practice Guidelines for Iron Optimization in Athletes”. Kelly Anne joins us to discuss the critical importance of maintaining healthy iron levels for general wellbeing, how to spot and treat the signs and symptoms of iron deficiency, and how making iron a priority could be the path to feeling–and performing–at your best.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we recap one of the hardest and strangest endurance weekends of the year: the Argo Half Marathon and Kyle's first official bike race, Lizard Under the Skillet. First up is Argo, the infamous “finishers only” half marathon on Argo Road, where the hills are rude, the sun is merciless, and the shirt at the end is earned the hard way. With a 9:00 a.m. July start, full sun, 60% humidity, a dew point of 71, and a finishing heat index of 102 degrees, this year's Argo was even nastier than expected. Kyle walks through the brutal out-and-back course, the repeated trips past the cooler, the lifesaving water stops and misters, the climb up Slaughter Hill, and the final push to earn the fluorescent finisher shirt. Despite the heat, the hills, and the general “why did we do this again?” energy, Kyle finished four minutes faster than last year, proving that even tiny victories on a monstrous course deserve celebration. Then, less than 24 hours later, it was off to Lawrence, Kansas for the Lizard Under the Skillet ride with the Lawrence Bicycle Club and Kyle's first official bike event. The 31-mile Gecko distance brought country roads, bike etiquette lessons, SAG stops, one very important helmet-wearing rubber duck named Crash, and a whole new appreciation for padded shorts. From scorching hills to sore legs, numb bike-seat regrets, and the realization that Argo followed by a bike race may not be the smartest scheduling choice, this episode is a full weekend of bad ideas that somehow turned into big wins.

In this week's episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, Dan and Tom tackle the thin line between building an authentic online fitness brand and navigating modern cancel culture. We tear into a viral controversy regarding online coaches with ADHD, why raw observational comedy outs the clients you don't want to work with, and why playing the victim won't save a stalling personal training business. Plus, we completely deconstruct energy system development, exposing how standard physique coaching falls flat by treating cardio as a brainless box-ticking exercise instead of tracking heart rate, training lactate thresholds, and maximising recovery between hard lifting blocks. We also rank the top five UK soft drinks (leading to a massive Dr Pepper argument) and share some hit Netflix recommendations! 0:00 Welcome to the Pod 1:18 The Dangers of Online Branding and Taking Offense 3:33 Discussing ADHD and Self-Observation Comedy 9:36 Workplace Realities and Personal Responsibility 14:55 Interactive Segment: Top 5 UK Soft Drinks 30:38 Deconstructing Energy System Development and Cardio 39:53 Health Benefits of Running and Cardio for Longevity 43:57 Closing Remarks and TV Recommendations 2 FREE Running Webinars - Strength & Plyometrics - https://the-combine-coaching-community.circle.so/training-to-run-in-the-gym 6 Week Strength & Plyo Plan for Runners! - https://market.teambuildr.com/programs/combine-coaching/6-weeks-gym-plyo-for-running-starter-pack Stay Connected: ✅ Subscribe for weekly fitness news and coaching education.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our July series Why Are We Like This? continues with a look at the endurance decisions that sound terrible on paper but somehow end up on our calendars anyway. With the Argo Half Marathon and its 2,900 feet of elevation waiting on Saturday, followed by the Lizard Under the Skillet 31-mile bike race and an Evanescence concert on Sunday, this episode asks why runners, cyclists, and endurance people keep signing up for things that sound more like warnings than weekend plans. We talk about why hard courses tempt us, why hills expose our weaknesses, and why a flat course may give us a time, but a brutal course gives us a story. Argo becomes the perfect example of a race where effort matters more than pace, walking hills is smart instead of shameful, and simply finishing can be the real victory. We also dive into the Bad Decision Hall of Fame: signing up before checking elevation, stacking races, chasing medals, falling for peer pressure, and pretending a bike race after a hilly half marathon counts as recovery. This episode also gets into the fine line between brave and dumb, especially when heat, hydration, fatigue, elevation, and recovery are all part of the equation. There is plenty of humor here, but also a real reminder that challenge should stretch us, not wreck us. And as Kyle steps into the biking world as a beginner, we talk about how humbling it can be to start something new again after years of experience in running. Why are we like this? Because sometimes a bad decision with a bib number reminds us exactly what we are made of.

Episode 326: Confidence vs. Comparison — The Social Media Trap for Runnerswww.run4prs.comSocial media ruins more running confidence, joy, and race plans than injuries ever will.In this episode, we're talking about the comparison trap — and why scrolling Instagram can turn a perfectly good training cycle into self-doubt, pressure, and second-guessing.You were feeling good about your run…Until you saw her run.You were excited for your race…Until someone posted a shiny new PR.Suddenly, your training feels behind — even when nothing actually changed.In this episode, we break down:Why social media comparison feels so automatic (and why it's not a personal failure)How curated running content distorts realityThe real ways comparison sabotages confidence, training decisions, and joyWhy confidence isn't about being the best — it's about staying alignedPractical steps to break the comparison cycle and protect your mental spaceHow to use social media as a tool instead of a triggerKey takeaway:Confidence is built internally.Comparison is triggered externally.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we recap a busy Fourth of July weekend full of fireworks, frantic huskies, Patreon gratitude, race reviews, and questionable scheduling decisions. Kyle starts by thanking new Patreon supporters and talking honestly about how listener support, social media interaction, and community engagement help keep the podcast moving forward. From there, we head to Clinton, Missouri for the Old Glory Days 5K, a small-town Friday night race attached to a much bigger Fourth of July festival full of carnival rides, food, music, fireworks, and classic small-town America energy. The course may have ended up short due to a misplaced turnaround volunteer, but the race still delivered hills, humidity, a beautiful evening atmosphere, a great medal, and one unforgettable trail of pre-race funnel cake regret. After a quick turnaround, it was back to Kansas City for the Ward Parkway 4 on the 4th, where heat, humidity, patriotic outfits, familiar Rock the Parkway roads, and a much-improved medal made for a solid holiday morning race. Kyle also talks about managing overheating on course, including the surprisingly helpful trick of holding ice in the left hand during the final mile. The weekend wrapped with a bike ride that became Kyle's longest adult ride so far, right up until a blown back tire led to the dreaded biker walk of shame. And with Summer Argo and Kyle's first official bike race waiting next weekend, this episode is part race recap, part warning label, and part evidence that runners will sign up for almost anything if enough friends are doing it.

Our biggest breakthroughs in maximizing our perimenopause health, fitness and body composition success do not come with doing more. Rather, it's when we can cut through misleading and unnecessarily complicated noise to simply understand how to work with our changing hormones and female body's needs.In this episode, Louise, named one of the world's leading experts for perimenopausal active women and runners, and Jen share the heart behind the new BTW Podcast Insiders Membership. They discuss why a curated community of like-minded female runners, trusted female-specific science, and simple, focused strategies matter so much for active women in perimenopause when we face hormone-related symptoms, shifts, and challenges.Louise opens up about stepping away from social media as an industry leader to protect her innovation and why choosing depth and impact over participation in the endless B.S. marketing found online is her personal mission. Jen shares how removing outside influence helped her trust the process, stay consistent, and feel stronger in her body. Together, they explain how women can improve energy, symptoms, running, physique, and confidence without chasing every trend online.This episode is especially helpful for runners and active women who feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice, hormone fear mongering, HRT pressure, and fitness misinformation. It is a reminder that progress does not need to be loud. Sometimes, the best results come from the right support, the right science, and a more calm, confident, and collaborative way forward.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn more & apply to join our new exclusive "BTW Podcast Insiders” membership here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/podcastinsidersLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.comEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(2:45) Louise introduces the BTW Podcast Insiders Membership(6:24) Why Louise and Jen created the membership(7:09) The runcation conversation that sparked the idea(9:24) How community helped Jen stay consistent(10:36) Louise's burnout, symptoms, and program redesign(13:19) Why Louise stepped away from social media(17:05) How social media affected Jen's progress(21:37) Building a women-supporting-women community(23:27) Questions podcast listeners may want answered(28:12) The problem with HRT pressure and social media influence(31:01) Nervous system regulation and foundational resources(36:44) Louise's personal results after simplifying her life(40:06) Choosing focus, calm, and family connection(42:21) Membership details and founding rate(44:15) Future possibilities for Q&As and group programs(48:11) Where to apply for Podcast Insiders(48:51) Preview of next week's luteal phase episode(49:18) OutroTune in weekly to "Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause" for our simple female-specific science-based revolution.

Heat training and altitude training are two of the most obsessed-over (and most misunderstood) tools in endurance running. In this episode, Zoë and TJ break down the actual science: what heat adaptation does to your blood plasma, why "poor man's altitude" is a myth, and how the EPO-to-hemoglobin response really works up high. They cover who should bother with heat or altitude training at all, the two questions to ask before you start, and why fundamentals like consistency, sleep, and fueling beat every environmental hack. You'll hear practical guidance on hot bath protocols, ferritin levels, live-high-train-low, and the 21-days-or-24-hours rule for racing at altitude. Plus: coach spotlight with James Nance, a listener question on time-based training in the mountains (the body doesn't know miles, it knows stress), and hot-or-not takes on golden hour and probiotics.

Alana is a Product Manager by trade, an incredible human, and someone who proves that your best running may still be ahead of you.After stepping away from competitive running following college, Alana never imagined she'd eventually qualify for the Olympic Trials. Yet through years of consistency, patience, and trusting the process, she progressed from a 2:59 marathon to a 2:48, then a 2:40, and ultimately a 2:34 marathon to earn her first Olympic Trials qualifier. All while working full-time.In this episode, we dive into what it takes to balance ambition, career, and elite performance without losing sight of why you started running in the first place.WHAT WE COVER:00:00 Welcome to RUNWITHALLI LIVE00:01 Meet Olympic Trials Qualifier Alana Levy02:02 Why She Stepped Away from Competitive Running04:55 Running Faster in Her 30s Than Ever Before05:21 Breaking 17 Minutes in the 5K10:37 Joining Brooklyn Track Club Changed Everything13:28 How She Improved from 2:59 to 2:3416:35 Recovery, Nutrition & Training Evolution19:18 The Power of Patience in Running22:05 Letting Go of Fear & Racing for Yourself24:46 Rapid Fire: Sacrifices, Joy & Daily Habits27:46 Garmin, WHOOP & Nutrition Habits30:40 Balancing Tech & Elite Marathon Training33:46 Alana's Most Controversial Running Opinion36:20 Advice for Runners with Big Goals39:10 Final ThoughtsAlana's story is proof that progress doesn't have an expiration date.

Some Chicago residents tried to get an early start ahead of a heat wave forecasted to last through Wednesday. Runners, bikers and walkers along the lakefront were still met with intense humidity while the sun was rising.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are catching up on a very busy June with a stack of race reviews, a heat warning, and one massive personal announcement. We start with the big news: Kyle is officially heading to the 2027 London Marathon, which will complete his original World Marathon Majors journey after Chicago, New York, Boston, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney, and finally London. From there, we dive into the June race review backlog, beginning with the Heroes 4 Hospice 5K in Overland Park, a meaningful race supporting hospice care and one of the few local 5Ks still skipping finisher medals in favor of keeping the focus on the cause. The next day brought the I Wanna Rock 5K, run on nearly the same course but in the opposite direction after a massive pre-race thunderstorm turned the morning into a soggy, humid rock-and-roll sweat fest. We also revisit the cancelled Clinton Historic Half Marathon, where severe storms and flooding wiped out the final running of the half marathon distance and threw Kyle's race-count math into chaos. Then we head to Tulsa for the Treat Trot 15K, a last-minute race added during a podcast planning getaway that featured three repetitive out-and-backs, summer heat, a second-place age-group finish, and a glorious post-race Bomb Pop. Finally, we review the Sunglasses Run 10K at Longview Lake, where excessive heat, limited shade, and thick humidity made the new 10K option a true summer sufferfest, even if the medal turned out to be one of the best sunglasses-themed medals yet. This episode is a full June running junk drawer: local races, travel miles, cancelled plans, hot-weather lessons, big goals, and the next step toward London.

In this episode of 5-MINUTE FRIDAY, Emily checks in from a very warm Paris after a whirlwind trip to Stockholm and Copenhagen. She dives deep into her experience spectating her first-ever HYROX World Championships, as a guest of Red Bull, sharing her top takeaways on the booming fitness phenomenon, the unique dynamics of competing in doubles, and why running endurance might just be your secret weapon to crushing a HYROX event. Plus, Emily answers a listener question about maintaining healthy routines and supplement games while constantly traveling for work. Highlights & Takeaways: The HYROX Breakdown: A run-down of the 8km format and its functional fitness stations, including the ski erg, sled push/pull, rowing, sandbag lunges, farmers carry, and wall balls. Doubles Strategy: Why competing with a partner might be the way to go, and how you can strategically split up stations based on your individual strengths. The Endurance Advantage: Why an aerobic running base is a massive asset in HYROX, and how it differs from a pure strength-focused training approach. Q&A—Routine on the Road: Emily’s top tips for maintaining your workout schedule, journaling habits, and supplement routine (from creatine to AG1) while traveling.

Join us on Wednesday, June 24th at 7:00 PM ET on the Sassquad YouTube Channel for a free webinar: Strength Training for Trail Runners, led by Carly Fleischer. In this session, Carly will show you how strength training can improve climbing efficiency, descending control, trail confidence, and reduce injury risk, all without overcomplicating your training.Carly Fleischer is a strength, nutrition, and behavior change coach and the founder of Moxie Barbell. She helps high-achieving women and busy humans bridge the gap between intention and follow-through by building consistent habits that hold up in real life so progress doesn't depend on motivation or white-knuckling. Her coaching focuses on building strength and confidence in the gym, creating realistic, habit-based nutrition strategies, and developing the mindset skills that make consistency sustainable, especially when life throws curveballs. She also works with athletes across a range of sports, helping them develop foundational qualities that transfer to better performance (strength, power, agility, and endurance) so they can move well, train hard, and stay resilient through their seasons. Based in South Lake Tahoe, Carly spends as much time as possible outside skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and paddleboarding, which shapes her coaching style: practical, performance-driven, and built for longevity.https://www.moxiebarbell.com/https://www.instagram.com/moxiebarbell/

What if getting older doesn't mean doing less, but doing it better? In this installment of the Aging as an Athlete series, legendary ultrarunner Krissy Moehl welcomes longtime climber and Patagonia ambassador Kate Rutherford for a conversation about longevity, purpose, and evolving with age. Kate shares how decades of climbing taught her that technical skill, efficiency, and joy can eventually outweigh youthful strength and endurance. The discussion explores everything from body awareness and recovery to nutrition, community, and why learning to focus on what truly matters becomes one of the greatest athletic advantages. Whether you're a runner, climber, or simply hoping to stay active for life, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on growing older without giving up adventure. Kate is a long time professional climber, artist, advocate for wilderness, eater of leafy organic greens, president of  Farm To Crag, and product line manager at Patagonia. Her passion for climbing has taken her all over the world including first ascents on Fitz Roy in Patagonia, Kenya, Iran, and Venezuela, a free ascent of El Capitan's Free Rider. She has had the opportunity to work with some amazing organizations, including Patagonia, La Sportiva, Edelrid, Black Diamond, Clif Bar, the Access Fund, and the American Alpine club. The combination of climbing, a biology degree from the Colorado College, rural homesteading in Alaska, subsistence hunting and fishing, carrots from Mom's garden, and watching organic regenerative agriculture's ability to combat climate change, has led me to co-found Farm to Crag. It is the perfect blend of climbing, stories, farms, maps, organic greens, environmental activism, and dinner parties.
