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.

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.

Can Runners Really Eat Intuitively?In this episode of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast, we dive into the relationship between intuitive eating and sports nutrition—and whether runners can successfully balance both.While intuitive eating is often presented as the alternative to restrictive dieting, runners have unique fueling needs that can sometimes make relying solely on hunger and fullness cues challenging. We explore what intuitive eating actually is, where it came from, and why it's often misunderstood online.We also discuss how many runners find themselves caught between two extremes: rigid nutrition rules on one side and a "just eat whatever you want" interpretation of intuitive eating on the other. The reality is that fueling for performance doesn't have to live at either extreme.What intuitive eating is (and what it isn't)Why restrictive diets often fail long-termCommon misconceptions about intuitive eatingThe challenges of learning to trust your hunger and fullness cuesWhy runners have unique nutrition needs that can sometimes override intuitionSituations where hunger cues may not accurately reflect what your body needsHow training volume, hydration, recovery, and energy availability affect appetiteWhen calorie tracking can be a useful tool—and when it isn't necessaryHow to develop a healthier relationship with food while still pursuing performance goalsFinding a sustainable middle ground between structured fueling and food freedomYou don't have to choose between intuitive eating and sports nutrition.The goal isn't to follow rigid rules forever, nor is it to ignore your body's nutritional needs. Instead, it's about building the knowledge, confidence, and self-awareness to fuel appropriately for your training while maintaining a positive, flexible relationship with food.As runners, there are times when our hunger cues don't tell the whole story—whether we're carb loading before a race, fueling during a long run, or recovering after a hard workout. Understanding when to trust your body's signals and when to lean on nutrition knowledge is one of the most valuable skills you can develop as an athlete.If you're looking to fuel your running without food guilt, confusion, or restrictive dieting, this episode will help you better understand how to support both your performance and your relationship with food.Looking for the resources mentioned in today's episode?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your free fueling audit here!⁠And if you're ready for more support, I've got options—whether it's my nutrition ebook⁠ ⁠Fuel Smarter, Run Stronger⁠⁠, my online coaching programs The Fueled Runner or ⁠ ⁠The Fuel Train Recover Club,⁠⁠ or apply for limited spots in my personalized⁠ ⁠1:1 coaching ⁠⁠programs.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we take you with us to the Outpacing Melanoma 5K, where the podcast set up on-site for a morning of racing, conversations, interviews, and community connection. After previously having the race team on the show to talk about the mission behind the event, we had the chance to be there in person, meet the people behind the cause, and hear directly from those impacted by melanoma and skin cancer. Throughout the morning, we spoke with dermatologists, doctors, nurses, survivors, supporters, runners, and families who all brought their own perspective to why this race matters. We also caught up with Jenny from 106.5 The Wolf, the race director, and plenty of runners who were brave enough, curious enough, or just chaotic enough to step up to the microphone. This episode is less of a traditional race review and more of a race-day field trip into the heart of a community fighting for awareness, prevention, treatment, and hope. For runners, the message hits especially close to home, because hours spent training in the sun can come with real risks if we are not taking care of our skin. We talk about the energy of the event, the people who made it meaningful, and the reminder that every start line can carry a bigger purpose than just miles and finish times. Join us as we share the voices, stories, and mission from a powerful morning at the Outpacing Melanoma 5K.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our Running MythBusters series continues with a look at race day rules that may need to be retired, or at least loosened up a little. We talk about the classic “nothing new on race day” advice and why it is good guidance, but not a federal law carved into a Garmin screen. From new shoes at Little Rock to mystery fuel at mile 8, gas station burrito chaos, weather adjustments, hats, hydration plans, and Gatorade versus Powerade, this episode reminds us that race day success requires preparation, flexibility, and common sense. We also bust the idea that carb loading means eating everything in sight, because fueling should help the race, not create a pasta-powered disaster with a bib number. Then we get into one of running's biggest truths: the first mile is a liar, whether it feels amazing, awful, or just plain weird. We also break down why “banking time early” usually leads to paying it back later, why race day adrenaline is only a spark and not a training plan, and why real runners absolutely can and should use aid stations. Most importantly, we talk about how a bad race does not have to ruin the whole day. Sometimes the goal changes mid-race, and success becomes finishing, learning, helping someone else, or simply getting through the ugly miles with a story worth telling.

Most people think they need to lose weight before becoming a runner. The truth is, that belief is stopping more runners than their body ever will.If you've ever felt like you don't look like a “typical runner” or believed you needed to lose weight before taking running seriously, this episode will challenge everything you've been told. I break down what bigger runners need to understand about training smarter, why running isn't always the answer people think it is for weight loss, and how consistency, recovery, and sustainable effort will take you much further than pushing yourself into exhaustion. If you want to build fitness in a way that actually lasts, this conversation will completely change how you think about running and long-term progress.Key TakeawaysRunning doesn't require a certain body type: You don't need to lose weight before you start running. The idea that only lean, light people can be "real runners" is false.Running alone won't help you lose body fat: If weight loss is your main goal, running isn't the most effective path. You're better off combining it with resistance training and fixing your nutrition.Run so you can do it again tomorrow: Don't overdo it on day one. Walk when you need to, go by time instead of distance, and focus on consistency over intensity.Timestamps[00:21] What You'll Learn[01:34] Tip #1 – Don't Try to Lose Weight By Running[05:52] Use This to Start Running (Again) Now[06:21] Tip #2 – Everything in Moderation[10:18] Tip #3 – Walking Is Ok[12:40] Why You Shouldn't Kill Yourself Every Run[15:04] Daren's Hot Take, Healthy and Wise[15:29] Why Amateur Runners Can't Carb Load Their Way to a Fast Marathon Alone[18:38] How Daren Is Getting Wiser in Life & Training[19:42] Remy's Hot Take, Healthy & Wise[24:02] Why You Should Have Dessert With Your Dinner[26:57] Use This to Start (Or Get Back to Running)Links & Learnings

In this episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, I sit down with sports psychologist Haley Perlus to explore the mental skills that help runners thrive both in training and on race day.While many athletes search for the perfect workout, Dr. Perlus reminds us that lasting progress starts with mastering our mindset.One of the biggest themes from this conversation? Patience.As runners, we often expect immediate results from our training. We want the breakthrough workout, the PR, and the confidence boost now. But meaningful growth both physically and mentally takes time.Dr. Perlus shares practical strategies for developing patience, building confidence, and learning to perform under pressure.WHAT WE COVER:00:00 – Introduction & Welcome00:30 – Meet Dr. Haley Perlus: Sports Psychologist & Performance Expert01:30 – Why Mental Performance Matters for Runners03:45 – Dr. Perlus' Journey into Sports Psychology05:15 – Managing Self-Doubt, Injuries & Performance Plateaus06:25 – How to Build Confidence Through Action07:15 – Developing Tolerance for Doubt09:25 – Using Data Without Becoming Controlled by It10:25 – Balancing Mental Toughness with Self-Compassion12:40 – Giving Yourself Grace vs. Letting Yourself Off the Hook14:40 – Why Recovery Runs Require Mental Strength17:50 – Moving Beyond All-or-Nothing Thinking19:40 – The Power of A, B & C Goals22:00 – "Pressure Is Not the Enemy, It's the Invitation"23:10 – What Does This Moment Need From Me?24:55 – Understanding Different Types of Motivation26:10 – The Mindset Skills Every Runner Should Practice29:45 – The One-Minute Mindset Technique31:20 – Focusing on What You Can Control33:00 – Why You Need to Train Your Mind Before Race Day35:40 – Final Advice for Runners & Closing ThoughtsKey TakeawaysConfidence is earned through action.Every workout completed, every challenge faced, and every small goal achieved provides evidence that you can do hard things.Patience is a performance skill.Mental fitness develops the same way physical fitness does: through repetition, consistency, and practice over time.Doubt doesn't disappear at higher levels of performance.The goal isn't to eliminate fear or uncertainty. It's to build the ability to move forward despite them.Pressure is information, not an enemy.Learning to interpret pressure as a sign that something matters can transform your race-day experience.Progress isn't all-or-nothing.Missing one goal doesn't erase everything you accomplished along the way.Memorable Quote"The work isn't about getting rid of doubt. The work is developing your tolerance for it." — Dr. Haley PerlusFinal ThoughtsWhether you're training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, or navigating a setback, remember that both physical and mental growth require patience.Keep showing up.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we were supposed to be reviewing the Clinton Historic Half Marathon, but severe storms, lightning, heavy rain, and flooding had other plans. After the half marathon was cancelled on race morning, we turned a missing race review into a much-needed conversation about runners, weather, and knowing when toughness crosses the line into bad decision-making. We talk about the difference between uncomfortable weather and dangerous weather, because a little rain is one thing, but thunder, lightning, flooding, tornado warnings, and falling tree limbs are a whole different beast. From there, we dig into why lightning should end the conversation immediately, what actually counts as safe shelter, and why a picnic shelter, dugout, tree, tent, or set of metal bleachers may not protect you the way you think. We also look at how runners can quickly read the skies, from darkening clouds and greenish storm light to sudden wind shifts, shelf clouds, rotating clouds, and that eerie calm before things get ugly. Since flooding helped cancel Clinton, we spend time on why water over roads, trails, underpasses, bridges, and creek crossings is not just an inconvenience, it can become a serious danger for runners and race directors alike. We also cover tornado watches versus warnings, what runners should do if caught outside, and why race directors have to consider not just runners, but volunteers, spectators, police, EMS, course access, and everyone else involved in race day. It may not be the race recap we planned, but it is a practical weather-safety episode for every runner who has ever looked at the radar and thought, “I can probably squeeze this in.”

Runners have pacers to help them manage their energy throughout a race. They couple that with a training program that balances extreme and moderate effort with rest. Research shows that this balanced approach ensures a stronger performance. Like professional athletes, we, too, seek high performance. But we may not realize that, like runners, we need to manage the pace of our lives. That's where science journalist Elizabeth Svoboda comes in. Curious about the way athletes build rest into their workouts, she wondered if their recovery plans could help the rest of us. This research informs her book, The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Short-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving. In it, she shares a range of effective tips that include personal storytelling, modulation, and much more. Related Links How to Find Inner Resolve in Times of Upheaval An Athletic Coach for the Mind?

The Tom Dupree Show  |  Podcast Show Notes The Nike Cautionary Tale: What Happens When Leadership Loses Touch With Its Customers The Tom Dupree Show  |  Dupree Financial Group  |  dupreefinancial.com  |  859-233-0400 Episode Description Nike spent decades building one of the most recognized brands on the planet — the Swoosh, the Air Jordan, high-heat basketball shoes that consumers lined up for, and a presence in every major sporting goods retailer in the world. Then, in 2020, the company handed its future to a CEO who believed physical retail was a dying model, and what followed became a study in how quickly a great company can lose its way. Tom Dupree and analyst Michael Dawahare walk through the full arc of Nike’s rise and decline — from its origins in performance athletics to a stock that traded at $180 and has since fallen to around $44. They examine the strategic decisions that caused the damage, the board failures that let it compound, and what retirement investors can take directly from the story. “You cannot put your own lenses on the lenses of your customer — you have to ask how they see the world, not how you see it.” Topics Covered • How Nike’s origins in performance athletics shaped the brand — and why that foundation was eventually abandoned • The 2020 appointment of CEO John Donahoe and the pivot toward a direct-to-consumer distribution model • Why walking away from wholesale partners like Foot Locker and specialty running stores was a catastrophic miscalculation • How competitors — HOKA, On Cloud, New Balance, ASICS, and Brooks — filled the shelf space Nike gave away • The role of groupthink and board failure in allowing the strategy to continue long after warning signs appeared • The Jordan Brand challenge: what happens when a generational endorsement ages out with no succession plan • Nike’s attempted course correction, the arrival of new CEO Elliott Hill, and why recovery is proving harder than expected • The parallel between Nike’s story and retirement portfolio management: proven strategy, fundamentals, and the danger of chasing new models Key Takeaways • Know what your portfolio is actually built on. The moment Nike shifted focus from technical performance products, competitors filled the gap. The same risk applies when an investment strategy drifts from its core principles. • Never surrender your shelf space. Giving up distribution — or abandoning a proven income strategy during volatility — is almost impossible to reverse. Re-entry is rarely seamless. • Leadership bias is one of the most expensive mistakes in business. Donahoe was an outstanding digital executive who ran a physical consumer company through a digital lens. Bias in a CEO — or a portfolio manager — costs real money. • Boards exist to prevent catastrophic decisions. Most don’t. Nike’s board approved a strategy that effectively fired its wholesale customer base. Institutional oversight is only as good as the willingness to ask uncomfortable questions. • Consumer loyalty, once transferred, is remarkably sticky. Runners who switched to HOKA or On Cloud did not come back. When a customer finds something they prefer, you may have lost them for good. • Recovery takes far longer than the damage itself. Nearly two years into Elliott Hill’s tenure, Nike still cannot get traction. A few years of bad decisions can take a decade to undo — in business and in retirement portfolios. • Proven strategies deserve skepticism about replacement, not abandonment. When a new model sounds compelling, always ask: What is the process? Has it been tested? And who benefits when you believe in it?

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our Running MythBusters series continues as we take on the training lies runners keep believing. With summer training heating up and fall marathon cycles getting underway, we break down the idea that more suffering automatically means better training. This episode tackles myths like “more miles always means better,” “rest days are weakness,” “no pain, no gain,” “every run needs a purpose,” “the watch is always right,” and “walking ruins the workout.” We talk about why mileage only helps if our bodies can recover from it, why rest is where training actually cashes the check, and why pain is not proof that we are training hard. Sometimes it is proof that we are training stupid. We also dig into the value of easy miles, joy miles, social miles, recovery runs, and those runs that simply clear the cobwebs from our brains. Watches, apps, and data can be helpful guides, but they do not know our stress, sleep, heat, family chaos, or life circumstances. And especially as summer heat and humidity settle in, we make the case that strategic walking is not failure. It may be the smartest thing we do. The big takeaway: train smart, recover well, use your brain, and do not let training myths wreck the miles ahead.

What is the fastest way to calm down extensor tenosynovitis when you are a runner trying to keep training? In this episode of the Doc On The Run Podcast, Dr. Christopher Segler explains his personal “secret weapon” for reducing inflammation in extensor tenosynovitis and helping runners get back to training faster. Extensor tenosynovitis happens when the tendon sheaths on the top of the foot become irritated and inflamed. It can become painful with every step, every toe movement, and every run. In this episode, you'll learn: • What extensor tenosynovitis actually is • Why inflammation inside the tendon sheath becomes so painful • Why tight shoelaces often trigger the problem • Why oral anti-inflammatory medications may not help much • The risks of corticosteroid injections around tendons • How the contrast bath routine works • Why alternating hot and cold water may rapidly reduce swelling • How runners can calm irritation while protecting fitness The goal is not simply reducing pain. The goal is calming the inflammation fast enough that you can safely get back to running.

What if there was a way to boost your VO₂ max, improve heat tolerance, and potentially increase endurance without adding a single extra workout to your training week?Most runners are always looking for the next thing that will help them run faster, recover better, and stay healthier for the long haul. In this episode, I break down one of the most overlooked performance tools available: sauna training. You'll learn how heat exposure can improve endurance, boost key physiological adaptations, and help your body handle hard efforts more efficiently. I also share a simple protocol to get started, common mistakes runners make, and why the benefits may extend far beyond race day and into long-term health and longevity.Key TakeawaysSauna training may help improve endurance and running performance by creating adaptations similar to altitude training, without changing where you live or train.Consistency matters more than suffering. Starting with short sessions and gradually building up is the safest and most effective way to get the benefits.Sauna is one of the few tools that may improve both athletic performance and long-term health, making it a valuable addition to your training routine.Timestamps[00:27] What You'll Learn[01:18] How Sauna Actually Makes You a Faster Runner[02:00] What's Happening Inside Your Body[03:08] Use This Cheat Sheet to Start Sauna and Get 17% Faster on Race Day[03:45] My Science-Backed Sauna Post-Run Protocol[05:42] Three Things to Remember Before You Sauna[07:47] What to Do in the Sauna?[08:20] Infrared vs Steam vs Finnish Dry Sauna[09:38] Steam Saunas[10:24] No Sauna?

Even though Eddie and Gary are on the rebuild, they're still somehow busier than a Greggs on match day. Gary's had a short stay in the comparison trap, but a chance encounter with a real‑life hero gave him the reality check he needed.Both hosts also find themselves openly thirsting over an A‑list movie star. Zero shame from both. We also sing the praises of the humble home gym. We're not talking squat racks. We mean the trusty dumbbell, a couple of resistance bands, and a yoga mat.And to round things off, the coaches chat about the simple brilliance of taking a map out on the trails. Old‑school.

Tom Nobbs on Strides, Strength Training, and Building Toward Higher Marathon Mileage After Two 10Ks Canadian 2:09 marathoner Tom Nobbs discusses recent takeaways from conversations with Rory Linkletter and Jimmy, with a focus on frequent strides, sprinting, strength training, racing, and building toward a bigger marathon block. Tom Nobbs Links: Tom Nobbs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nobbs.not.knobs/ Tom Nobbs Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/28521910 Matt Fox Links: Train with Matt Fox: https://sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox/ Join the Supporters Club and private podcast feed: https://www.sweatelite.co/shareholders/ Contact Matt: matt@sweatelite.co Matt Fox Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Matt Fox Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359 They begin by talking about Rory's daily strides, how often runners should include strides or short sprints, and why intensity needs to be individualized. Matt and Tom discuss the value of polarizing training between controlled tempo work and true max-speed work, rather than turning every session into the same moderate effort. The conversation then moves into strength training. They debate where gym work fits for distance runners, how it may help reduce cramping for some athletes, and why it can also become unnecessary or costly for high-mileage runners if it takes away from recovery or running volume. Tom explains his own strength gaps and the importance of tailoring gym work to the athlete rather than forcing one approach on everyone. Tom also breaks down two recent 10K races: a 28:47 road 10K in windy conditions in Ottawa, and a delayed late-night track 10K in awkward conditions with limited access to the track beforehand. Matt and Tom discuss how racing time-of-day, warm-up routines, track access, spikes, and surface specificity can all affect performance. They also compare road and track racing, why both require adaptation, and how shorter races can sharpen the mental edge during a marathon build. Later, they cover coaching athletes who over-race, how different personality types respond to racing, and the balance between racing for fun, social connection, and long-term development. The final part of the episode shifts into Tom's next marathon block, including higher "super mileage," the trade-offs of extreme volume, tapering challenges, days off versus seven-day running, and examples of older or later-career runners still making major marathon improvements.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we head south to learn all about the Rocket City Marathon Weekend coming up this December in Huntsville, Alabama. We are joined by Eric Fritz and Rhonda Hayden from the Rocket City Marathon team to talk about the history of the race, the growth of Huntsville, and why this 50th running is shaping up to be something special. We dig into what makes Rocket City such a strong destination race, from its mid-sized field and downtown host hotels to the rare indoor finish at the Von Braun Center, complete with food, family, music, and post-race celebration. Eric and Rhonda also walk us through the Hat Trick Challenge, where runners can take on the 5K, 10K, and either the half or full marathon across race weekend, earning individual medals plus a special finisher hat. We also talk about the expo experience, the new Podcast Alley concept, and how several running podcasts will help runners get ready for race weekend from training to nutrition to mental preparation. Beyond the miles, Rocket City is also running with purpose, supporting Huntsville Hospital's pediatric work after raising more than $100,000 last year for an inclusive therapeutic playground and focusing this year on helping fund a pediatric air ambulance. And since the race lands right in the middle of December, we also get into the holiday magic of Huntsville, including the Tinsel Trail, downtown Christmas lights, family-friendly attractions, restaurants, and southern hospitality. Whether you are already signed up, thinking about joining us, or just looking for your next great race weekend adventure, this episode is your invitation to come run Rocket City with us.

Send in your music story!A great song can make you feel seen in one line, and David from Bike Routes writes those lines like it's his job to tell the truth even when it hurts. We talk about why dogs keep showing up in his lyrics as a symbol of pure goodness, and how that simple, unconditional presence can hit harder than any grand metaphor when you're carrying grief, guilt, or burnout. We also go deep on the story behind losing his friend Jesse, the “kingdoms” we build to find peace, and the way vivid dreams can become real material for songwriting. David opens up about living with OCD and anxiety, and the strange disconnect of being a genuinely upbeat, dancing frontman while writing words that sound like the bottom of a spiral. If you care about mental health in music, lyric analysis, and how artists translate intrusive thoughts into art without glamorizing them, this conversation stays honest and specific. Then we zoom out to Prairie, the upcoming Bike Routes album out June 26, and why it feels like a full redirection: fuller production, more experimentation, and a more deliberate narrative shape. David explains the idea of two voices moving through the record, the recurring theme of running away, and how songs like “Shadows,” “Runners,” “Delayed Gratification,” and “The Good Curse” chart a path from harsh acceptance to gratitude. We also hit hometown identity, Rust Belt feelings, the Bruce Springsteen debate, touring plans, and a goofy rapid-fire music game that shows who David is when the pressure is off. If the writing on Love Is An Action grabbed you, Prairie is going to land even harder.

Tim Tollefson returns to Trail Runner Nation for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes trail running special and what happens as the sport continues to grow. Using a "Wheel of Trail Running" format, the discussion lands on two big topics: cultivating the next generation of trail stewards and the ongoing professionalization of trail running. Tim shares how his work with Runners for Public Lands and Mammoth Trail Fest has changed the way he views trails, volunteerism, and the responsibility runners have to give back to the places they love. The conversation explores everything from carrying a small saw on training runs to the challenges and opportunities created by big sponsors, larger race organizations, and growing prize purses. Throughout the episode, Tim makes a compelling case that trail running's future depends on balancing growth with the community values that built the sport. It's an honest look at how runners can help preserve trail culture while welcoming more people into it.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we kick off our June series, Running MythBusters, by taking on one of the oldest and most ridiculous myths in the sport: the idea that there is a magical checklist we have to complete before we can call ourselves “real runners.” We break down the nonsense that says real runners have to be fast, never walk, look a certain way, run long distances, race every weekend, or love every single mile. Spoiler alert: myth busted. Whether we run, walk-run, race 5Ks, chase marathons, train on our own, or simply lace up for health, stress relief, or sanity, we belong in the running world. This episode pushes back on pace-shaming, walk-shaming, body assumptions, and the “just a 5K” mindset that makes people feel like their effort does not count. We also talk about why walking can be smart race management, why short distances still matter, and why a bib does not magically create the runner. At the heart of it all is a simple truth: running is not owned by the fast, the young, the thin, the elite, or the people in shoe ads. If we run, if we show up, if we keep moving forward, we are runners. Full stop.

She explains why exercise recovery, strategic adjustments in strength training, running, nutrition, and environmental exposure matter even more as hormones shift. Louise shares why women over 35 need smarter fueling, more intentional lifting, better recovery, and less “run yourself into the ground” thinking to protect muscle, bone density, hormones, and long-term health.She also talks about the importance of strength training for longevity, injury prevention, body composition, and staying active for life. Later, Louise covers detox myths, air quality, product ingredients, alcohol, processed foods, and simple ways to reduce toxic load without living in fear or extremes. This episode is a clear reminder that hormone changes do not have to mean decline, frustrating symptoms or setbacks.

Running can be the most consistent thing in your life, right up until your body forces a plot twist. Shelly Rose is back, and the “first half marathon” version of her has evolved into a runner with multiple half marathons, Ragnar memories, Run Disney miles, and a very real injury chapter that includes a calf strain and plantar fasciitis. That detour sparks a bigger question we all face: how do you keep building fitness when running cannot be the only tool?We get practical about cross-training for runners, including what actually counts and why the purpose matters more than the label. We talk aerobic capacity and zone 2 work, the role of mobility and strength training, and the surprisingly specific details that make workouts work or fail, like aqua jogging without losing your mind, stationary bike discomfort, and why hot yoga can be approachable even if you do not “flow.” Shelly also shares how dance fitness like Jazzercise and Zumba delivers sweat, joy, and the lateral movement running misses, plus how “wrong and strong” can be a perfect mindset for learning something new safely.Then we go deeper into the mental side: comparison, perfectionism, and what it feels like to rebuild after time off while your watch keeps reminding you of past paces. We close with a joyful movement draft for stressful days, low impact days, and “I want to feel strong” days, plus a listener challenge to help us pick the next cross-training adventure.Subscribe, share this with a runner who needs options, and leave a review if the show helps you keep showing up.

Creatine has long been boxed into the weight-room world, but this episode opens the door to a much bigger conversation for trail runners and endurance athletes. Creatine is something surprisingly simple, "right within the reach of a glass," that may help athletes become stronger, faster, healthier, and more resilient. We discuss with Dr. Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, whether this familiar supplement can support not just performance, but long-term health and better daily function. For runners who usually think about carbs, hydration, shoes, and mileage first, creatine offers a different kind of performance question: what if strength, recovery, and durability start with something small and easy? It's a practical topic for athletes who want to keep moving well, aging well, and showing up stronger on the trail.

They also discuss Andrew Abbott's outing, a strong Reds debut from Caleb Ferguson, and a rough appearance from Zack Maxwell. Plus, they debate several questionable managerial decisions by Terry Francona, recap all the action from the Reds minor league system, and preview the Reds' upcoming series against the Atlanta Braves.   Chatterbox Reds LIVE Postgame on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uv6MynXvUA    Chatterbox Reds is BACK at Smoke Justis NEXT TUESDAY, June 2nd with a LIVE show at 5:00 PM!

Runners of NYC is relaunching. We're changing up the format — fewer studio sit-downs, more conversations out in the wild across the five boroughs — and we're thrilled to welcome Patryk Odedina as our new co-host. Same mission of surfacing the untold stories behind NYC's running culture, with a fresh approach to how we tell them. More soon.First...Meet Patryk.------"I was at the gym one day, doing the typical dude thing — asking my neighbor Kenny what he was working on. Chest? Back? Arms? He just looked at me, straight-faced, and said: 'Five or six miles on the treadmill.' I swear, I had never heard someone say something like that in my life. And Kenny's not some lean guy — he's a husky dude. So I'm standing there like, what is he talking about? Then he tells me he's training for the New York City Marathon. That's all I needed. I thought, if Kenny can do it, I can do it."Patryk Odedina is a Bronx-based runner who picked up the sport at 29 after a gym conversation with his neighbor Kenny, and has since completed all six World Marathon Majors while chipping nearly 90 minutes off his debut time.Background:– Born in Poland, raised in the Bronx from age 3. Polish mother, Nigerian father.– Played basketball at Lincoln High School (the one in Yonkers) and Lehman College. No running background.– Spent six-plus years in tech salesThe origin story: Late 2018, lifting weights in a Harlem gym, his neighbor Kenny mentioned he was training for the NYC Marathon. Patryk had never heard anyone say something like that out loud. He signed up for the 2020 race through Team for Kids before knowing what a 5K was.Marathon résumé:– 2020 NYC (virtual): 4:40. Ran the actual route solo in the rain; mom as support crew.– 2021 NYC: ~4:57. The 50th anniversary edition.– 2023 London: 3:58. Finally cracked sub-4 on his fourth attempt.– Six Stars: NYC → London → Berlin → Tokyo → Boston → Chicago. Wore a Yankees singlet in Boston.– 2026 Jersey City: 3:09. Now chasing sub-3.Beyond the race: Associate board member of the Bronx Burners, a 501(c)3 that has distributed $100K+ in college scholarships to Bronx youth. Creator of the Run Clubs of NYC video series — 49 NYC clubs and counting.This is Runners of NYC. A podcast from CITIUS MAG.

Susie describes why the man who popularized climbing Everest claims he never meant to do that, why he thinks people should climb in a different way, and why it's much easier to scale the highest mountain now than a few years ago. We find out what Sarah thinks is the number one horror film ever made. We discuss twins who don't share a father, and why it raises questions about identity and personhood. We learn the difference between Western runners and the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners who dominate the sport, and the reasons they are defying the "science" of running and still winning marathons and setting world records. We debate the ethics of "unwritten rules" in sports, how these codes are set and enforced, and the ways they're good and bad.00:00 - Personal Reflections on Mother's Day and Sandy Hook's Impact12:40 - How Commercialization Changed Everest Climbing and Its Meaning24:22 - Exploring Addictive Personalities and Toxic Masculinity in Extreme Sports38:11 - The Rare Case of Twins with Different Fathers and Identity's Layers44:27 - African Runners' Communal Approach Defies Western Training Science50:58 - Debating the Ethics and Impact of Unwritten Rules in SportsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 40% off your first order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyVisit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off using code BRAINCANDYPOD on your next purchase.Head to https://cozyearth.com and use our code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.
