Sydney almost hung up her spikes after her undergrad years at George Fox.

This episode is sponsored by Kava Haven, Batch, Goodr, and Tailwind Nutrition. I'm excited to share this conversation with Elena Hayday, who just ran 2:24:45 at the Boston Marathon to finish as the sixth American woman in a massive breakthrough performance. This episode is a crossover with Road to the Trials, the podcast I co-host with Peter Bromka and Matt Chittim, and it'll also air over there next Monday. Peter joins me for this conversation as we talk with Elena about the jump from 2:30 to 2:24, what clicked for her in Boston, and why she's quickly becoming one of the most exciting marathoners to watch in U.S. distance running. Elena runs for Minnesota Distance Elite and is currently studying neuroscience as a graduate student at the University of Minnesota. We talk about balancing school and training, qualifying for the Olympic Marathon Trials at Grandma's Marathon, and what she's learning as she continues leveling up in the marathon. She's thoughtful, grounded, incredibly tough, and I think you're going to love getting to know her story. Topics Discussed Elena Hayday's breakthrough 2:24:45 performance at the 2026 Boston Marathon Chasing faster marathon times after years of near-misses and setbacks Recovering from stomach issues at the 2025 New York City Marathon Working with a dietitian and realizing she was severely under-fueling on protein Balancing elite marathoning with a neuroscience PhD program Joining Minnesota Distance Elite and training under Chris Lundstrom Learning to train and race alongside athletes like Dakotah Popehn and Annie Frisbie Building confidence through higher mileage and more individualized training Why Elena wants to become more aggressive and competitive in races Navigating the emotional side of fully committing to running at a professional level Signing with an agent and stepping more fully into the professional side of the sport Future goals including representing Team USA and chasing faster marathon performances Training the gut for marathon fueling and learning to absorb 90g of carbs per hour Books, Movies, TV & Media Mentioned Project Hail Mary Noah Kahan Netflix documentary Thank you to our sponsors: BatchBatch is a Wisconsin-based wellness brand creating small-batch, science-backed CBD and THC products designed to help with stress, sleep, and overall balance.

Should you count calories? A century ago, a Los Angeles doctor named Lulu Hunt Peters sold two million copies of a book that taught American women to count calories as a patriotic duty during WWI. She invented the 100-calorie snack pack. She set the 1,200-calorie floor that still haunts diet apps in 2026. The framework she popularized is still running your relationship with food.This week, Zoë and Kylee dig into the question every active person has wondered about: should you be counting calories? They trace how a unit of heat invented to measure factory worker rations became the dominant logic of American eating. Where the 2,000-calorie label on every food package actually came from (it isn't science, it's a 1990 design choice). Why calorie counting is legally allowed to be 20 percent wrong before it ever reaches your plate. And why a framework with this many cracks has held on for a hundred years.Along the way: what calorie counting did to the American food supply during the low-fat era, what the Biggest Loser metabolic adaptation research actually showed, why even registered dietitians can't accurately track their own intake, what set point theory says about why restriction backfires, and whether calorie tracking apps are tools, traps, or both. For athletes, the questions that actually matter for performance, and what the research says about who calorie counting helps and who it harms.Plus: the early feminist origins of dieting (yes, really), why your microbiome is doing math your app can't see, and why this number keeps its grip on us even when the science says it shouldn't.Listen for the full story.This episode is brought to you by:rabbit — Built by runners, for runners.

This episode is brought to you by Kava Haven, Tailwind Nutrition and Batch. Sara Hall joins the podcast to talk about her new book For the Love of the Grind, which quickly became a New York Times bestseller. Sara has been one of the most consistent and compelling figures in American distance running, with a 2:20 marathon personal best, a fifth-place finish at the 2024 Olympic Trials, and a career defined by longevity, resilience, and a deep love for the process. In this conversation, Sara reflects on her career arc, from being the first professional athlete to say yes to this podcast back in 2016 to becoming a veteran of the sport who continues to push her limits. She shares what it has looked like to race at a high level while raising four daughters, staying grounded in her values, and following what feels most authentic to her, even when it doesn't follow a traditional path. The conversation also dives into the themes of her book, including faith, identity, motherhood, and the emotional highs and lows of a decades-long career. Sara opens up about how her beliefs have evolved over time, how she's navigated criticism, and why she chose to tell her story in her own voice. This episode is a deeper look at what it means to commit to the long game, both in running and in life, and how growth often comes through the hardest seasons. What we talked about: Writing For the Love of the Grind and telling her story in her own voice Faith, deconstruction, and evolving beliefs Growing up in a strong religious background and rethinking it as an adult Choosing which moments and races mattered most in her story The emotional weight of motherhood and pursuing elite goals Adoption journey and family dynamics Balancing ambition with presence as a parent Career longevity and gradual marathon progression The Olympic Trials and processing near-misses Super shoes era and competing across changing generations of the sport Relationships and community throughout her career Transitioning perspective from outcomes to process Media mentions: For the Love of the Grind Love Wins Thank you to our sponsors: BatchBatch is a Wisconsin-based wellness brand creating small-batch, science-backed CBD and THC products designed to help with stress, sleep, and overall balance.

This episode follows that instinct back to one of its oldest sources, the American evangelical church. Zoë and Kylee are joined by Leslie Schilling, RDN, CSSD, sports dietitian, eating disorder specialist, and author of Feed Yourself, to trace how food, bodies, and spiritual worthiness got so tangled together, and what it costs the people caught inside that tangle. From Pope Gregory's taxonomy of gluttony in the sixth century to Rick Warren's Daniel Plan weigh-ins, "your body is a temple" taken wildly out of context, and why eating disorders tied to religious identity are among the hardest to treat.

Whole30 has sold millions of books, built a coaching empire, and partnered with Chipotle and Walmart — all without a single peer-reviewed clinical trial. In this episode, Zoë traces the program from its origin on a CrossFit blog in 2009 to its multi-million dollar licensing ecosystem, digs into the loaded vocabulary (sugar dragons, tiger blood, sex with your pants on), and examines what happened when a nutrition science student fact-checked all 450 citations in It Starts With Food. Kylee breaks down how real elimination diets work, why this one poses specific risks for athletes, and what the plant-based Whole30 contradiction reveals about whether the rules were ever based on science at all.Support Your Diet Sucks on Patreon for bonus episodes, weekly threads, recipes, and AMA access: patreon.com/yourdietsucks.This episode is brought to you by rabbit — use code YDSMARCH10 for 10% off at rabbit.com.

From a Colombian orphanage to professional trail running champion, Jenn Lichter's story proves that sometimes the hardest journeys lead to the most extraordinary destinations.Jenn Lichter is a 29-year-old professional trail runner who competes primarily in distances ranging from marathon to 50-mile races. Born in Bogota, Colombia, she grew up in an orphanage before being adopted at nine years old and moving to La Crosse, Wisconsin.Her trail running career took off after working as a hiking guide at Glacier National Park, where she discovered her passion for mountain running during her off days. In September 2021, she competed in The Rut, her first major trail race, which led to her being discovered by The North Face team manager Esther. She signed with The North Face in 2022 and has been with the brand since.Lichter has achieved significant success in her professional career, winning races like Broken Arrow (setting a course record in 2022) and Speedgoat, where she placed second after taking a wrong turn. She won the 2024 Broken Arrow 46K and notably won a beer mile competition between Broken Arrow and Western States that same year.Beyond running, Lichter identifies as an artist, describing art as her "first true love". She enjoys baking, cooking, gardening, and DIY projects. Currently, Lichter is preparing to debut her first 100K race at Black Canyon, marking a step up from her established success in the 50K distance. She is sponsored by The North Face and Tailwind Nutrition and works with agent Kelly Newlon to manage her professional career.Jon chats with Jenn about:victories at Broken Arrow and other raceshow Jenn handles suffering and discomfort during races by honoring past training effortsthe role of curiosity in Jenn's approach to running and explorationrecovery from eating disorders and partnership with Tailwind nutritionapproach to authentic brand partnerships and social media presenceStay connected:Follow Jenn:https://www.instagram.com/jenniferlichter/This episode is supported by:Tifosi Optics: Fantastic sunglasses for every type of run.

That's where we come in. In this episode of Your Diet Sucks, Zoë and Kylee dig into the messy, complicated, and very normal reality of perimenopause and menopause—because more than half the population will experience it, and yet nobody talks about it. We trace the wild history of “treatments” like leeches and arsenic, unpack the real science around carbs, protein, strength training, sleep, and HRT, and roast the diet-culture nonsense that convinces athletes to fear their own bodies. From “menopause belly” panic to the myth that performance ends at 50, we're breaking down what actually matters for athletes, what doesn't, and how to navigate this transition without falling for the gimmicks. Consider this the talk your mom never gave you—and the one your Instagram feed definitely won't.Support the ShowEternal – To check out Foundations, use the promo code YDS for 10% a one year membership.Tailwind Nutrition offers science–backed endurance fuel that actually works.

In this episode of Your Diet Sucks, Zoë and Kylee dig into the science, the politics, and the messy cultural baggage around food and the environment. From beef's outsized carbon footprint to the confusing debates over almond milk vs. oat milk, we break down what actually matters for athletes and active people who want to fuel performance without trashing the planet. We trace the history of meat, dairy, and industrial agriculture, explain why food waste is one of the biggest hidden drivers of greenhouse gas emissions, and talk about whether “grass-fed” beef or “sustainable” seafood really lives up to the hype. Plus, we get real about the politics behind dietary guidelines, the myth of the carbon footprint, and why Fox News thinks burgers are freedom. Spoiler: we're not here to take away your mozzarella or your post-run burrito, we're here to help you make sense of the science, push back on diet-culture guilt trips, and show how small, practical choices add up when athletes use their voices for systemic change.Support the ShowEternal – To check out Foundations, use the promo code YDS for 10% a one year membership.Tailwind Nutrition offers science–backed endurance fuel that actually works.

Support YDS on Patreon!This week, Zoë and Kylee tackle the carnivore diet, the internet's most extreme eating trend. From raw liver smoothies at Erewhon to shirtless influencers promising that “meat heals everything,” the carnivore diet has exploded in popularity. But what really happens when you cut out all plants and live on ribeye steaks, bacon, and bone broth?We explore the strange history of meat-only diets, from 1920s Bellevue experiments to modern influencers like Shawn Baker and Paul Saladino. We unpack the claims about plant “toxins,” the allure of ketosis, and why athletes, especially women, need carbs for performance, recovery, and hormone health. And we dig into the environmental cost of ribeye-heavy eating, why beef is one of the most resource-intensive foods on the planet, and how climate denial often gets wrapped into carnivore culture.So should you go full T-Rex? Probably not. But understanding the hype—and the risks—shows why restrictive food fads keep spreading, and why carbs are still essential for endurance athletes and long-term health.Support the ShowEternal – To check out Foundations, use the promo code YDS for 10% a one year membership.Tailwind Nutrition offers science–backed endurance fuel that actually works.

In this episode of Your Diet Sucks, Zoë and Kylee dive deep into the history of metabolism myths, from ice chewing and celery diets to vibrating chairs, bulletproof coffee, and the latest TikTok hacks. We break down what metabolism actually is, why you probably don't need to “hack” it, and what really matters for long-term health and performance. We talk about why spicy food won't magically melt fat, the truth about cold water, apple cider vinegar, and green tea, and the real factors that impact metabolism, like muscle, sleep, and eating enough. We also dig into how under-fueling and diet culture can actually slow you down.

187. Josh Phillips: The Mindset & Training Behind one of Australia's Best Middle Distance RunnerWhat does it take to become the Australian Mile Champion?
What happens when the pressure to perform collides with the pressure to look a certain way? This week, we're tackling body image in sports and fitness—breaking down the differences between body dysmorphia, body dissatisfaction, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and why athletes are especially vulnerable.From social media-fueled comparison traps (looking at you, Facetune) to toxic fitness culture and outdated coaching methods, we explore why so many athletes struggle with body image—and what actually helps. Plus, a deep dive into why traditional body positivity isn't the answer and why frameworks like body neutrality, fat liberation, and radical body acceptance are changing the conversation.

181. Multiple stress fractures to podium finish at UTA100k with Juliette Soule Juliette Soule is a Sydney based trail runner, born in Christchurch NZ. Juliette has surged onto the scene debuting her first 100k during COVID times and most recently placing 2nd at Ultra Trail Kosciuszko 100km in November 2024. But her journey to the podium was anything but smooth. Over the span of 1.5 years, Juliette faced three major bone stress injuries while pushing her ultra-training just that bit too much. Her comeback is a story of both grit and learning. As well as a mindset shift that has forced her to transform her love for running from an obsessive pursuit to a more balanced and sustainable passion. This is something Juliette admits she is still working on achieving. In this episode, Juliette reflects on the training errors that led to her injuries and shares the hard truths of taking time off and rebuilding. She gives us an exclusive look into her Kosci training strategy, which included running just three days a week, and how she's working to prevent future injuries. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, Juliette's insights on training smarter and redefining success are invaluable. It was an absolute pleasure to have Juliette on the show—her story is equal parts inspiring and thought provoking.

Legendary climber Beth Rodden has accomplished so much in her incredible career - and is now also bravely shared her personal journey of growth. I sat down with Beth to hear about her experiences navigating professional climbing as a woman, the highs and challenges of achieving big goals, and how becoming a mother completely shifted her perspective. Beth is one of the best female rock climbers of all time, the youngest woman to conquer 5.14a, and a globally recognized ambassador for the outdoor community. She's also a mother, and an author. Her new memoir, ‘A Light Through the Cracks: A Climber's Story,' vulnerably recounts her harrowing experience with trauma and kidnapping and her healing process. For any athletes, parents or anyone pursuing self-discovery, I hope you'll be inspired by Beth's wisdom on finding balance, speaking your truth, and embracing vulnerability. It was so powerful to chat with Beth - I know you'll enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Here are a few key takeaways: - Navigating professional climbing as a woman and the evolution of the industry towards greater inclusivity and respect. - The importance of owning one's story, finding one's voice, and speaking out against injustice, even when it's scary - The challenges of achieving big goals and deriving a sense of self-worth solely from accomplishments - How parenthood can shift one's priorities, sense of purpose, and relationships with others and one's body in a life-changing way. - Healing from trauma and learning to embrace vulnerability and emotions through therapy, relationships, and personal reflection.

Kia ora e te whānau! This episode we catch up with Jenny and Jeff Vierling, the founders of Tailwind. They were in Aotearoa for the Faultline Ultra on the weekend, and right about now they'll be riding the Old Ghost Road. They live in the mountain town of Durango, Colorado, where they have made a deliberate decision to grow and keep their business. We talk about life in a small town and why it's important to them to be part of the community, the origins of Tailwind, which is a bit of a famous story about Jeff having a bad time at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race. We also talk about the science of race nutrition, the best and worst flavours, and that time Jeff almost had the whole of Chicago Airport shut down because of the bunch of white powder he was carrying. They were delightful and sweet – not too sweet, just right, like a chocolate-flavoured Tailwind Recovery.

Description: Corrine and Buzz break down Kilian Jornet's exhaustive new blog recapping his 2022 training with micro-details including his workouts, nutrition, sleep, stress and more. Are there usable tips for a “normie” runner or is Kilian simply from another planet? Next, Corrine talks to writer and runner Jared Beasley about the quiet, but seductive appeal of the backyard race phenomenon. His piece, “Everyone's Got A Shot at a Backyard, Right?” looks at the enigmatic format and how an average runner can get (happily?) sucked in. And Buzz talks to Isabella from L.A. about shin splints and offers a range of tips and tricks to help. Have a question about trail or distance running? Send your question to news@ultrasignup.com for a chance to chat with Buzz on an upcoming episode. Presented by Ultimate Direction and with support this week from Tailwind Nutrition.
In this episode, Jeff Vierling, Co-founder and CEO of Tailwind Nutrition, joins the conversation. Jeff is an endurance biker who competes in races all over the country. As a result of his experiences, Jeff was intimately familiar with the challenges of keeping his body fueled while competing. Unfortunately, Jeff couldn't find any products with the nutrition he needed to compete in endurance events, so he created one. Jeff talks about how to scale your business by effectively marketing using events and competitions, digital marketing, and strategically going after targeted wholesale accounts worldwide. Jeff also shares why they chose to manufacture in-house and how he keeps this production operationally simple.
Tailwind Nutrition's story starts with Co-founder Jeff Vierling's head in a trash can, losing his breakfast after the Leadville Trail 100 MTB. Following years of dealing with gut issues during endurance events, and having exhausted just about every sports nutrition product on the market, Jeff and his wife, Jenny, did what every frustrated endurance athlete would do — they designed their own. Tailwind products are now some of the most popular fueling options for trail runners and mountain bikers alike, so we had Jeff on the show to hear all about how he went from mixing powders in his kitchen to outgrowing one production facility after the next.

Thank you yet again for joining us for another episode of the Into The Wee Hours Podcast! So happy as always to bring you stories and voices of everyday adventurers, and this one is absoultely inspirational! This episode brings you the voice of Maree Connor, an overall busy woman wearing many hats - only some being mother, wife, sister, ultra runner, and Clinical Nurse Unit Manager. (We also talk about the other hats she wears like craft beer drinker, dad-joke teller, and designated bike pusher for her kids.) We were lucky enough to steal Maree away for an excellent chat during Mother's Day, after her two young daughters had made her well-deserved breakfast in bed! While wearing many hats, we mostly focused on Maree's ultra running achievements which include, but are not limited to, winning and lowering the women's record at Brisbane Trail Ultra (BTU) [watch her interview with Race Director, Shona Stephenson, here!!], winning Elephant Trail Race, completing (TWICE) and winning and lowering the women's record at Coast to Kosci, and as she so casually drops at the end of the conversation getting to Mount Everest Base Camp! We hear how Maree had serious back surgery and has incredibly come back stronger with a new lease on life, and takes advantage of her new situation to say "thank you" for this fantastic opportunity. Maree is so humble about her achievements, but it is clear that she puts in the hard work (while being self-coached!) to balance her life and juggle priorities to find success in so many aspects of her life. Maree has a full plate planned ahead including Southern Sydney 24 Hour Ultra (a 24-hour track race) only 5 weeks before returning to Brisbane Trail Ultra again (because you have to do everything twice, right Maree?!). She tells us how she also hopes to one day hike the Anapurna Circuit with her husband and daughters! We started to dive into a bit about Maree's nutrition and how she mostly uses Tailwind Nutrition before our call dropped out! So about midway through, we apologise for the disruption in recording, but we are so grateful for Maree's (and our listener's) patience with us through recording! We hope it does not take away from the quality of the conversation with Maree! Follow along with Maree's adventures via Instagram @mareeconnor_.
