In this milestone 99th episode of Trail Society, we go all-in on Keely Henninger's third-place finish at the Canyons 100K, earning her a coveted Golden Ticket to Western States. Keely walks us through her decision to return to Western States, how she managed training on reduced mileage while in med school, and the strategies she used to stay consistent under immense pressure. We dig into the physiology, planning, and mindset shifts that made this comeback possible—including how stepping away from sponsorship has reshaped her relationship with competition. Listeners will get detailed answers to real questions from the trail community: what does tapering for a 100K really look like? How do you fuel during a freezing wet race? Can long hours on your feet at work substitute for running volume? Keely shares what went right, what she learned from what didn't, and how she's preparing to level up for Western States. Plus, we cover gear (including the story behind those glasses), race-week nutrition tweaks, and how elite women are balancing ambition with authenticity in sport. If you're navigating time constraints, training stress, or racing with less-than-ideal prep—this conversation offers both practical takeaways and serious inspiration.

In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Hillary Allen, and Keely Henninger dive into the topic of goal setting for athletes, focusing on the importance of aligning both goals and values to enhance performance and motivation. They discuss the common tension between being process-oriented versus outcome-driven, and how athletes often get caught up in the race calendar without understanding their deeper "why" or core values. The conversation emphasizes how discovering your personal "North Star"—the driving force behind your actions—can help avoid burnout and misalignment, leading to more fulfilling and sustainable progress. The trio also reflects on the challenges of staying consistent with basic principles, even when more glamorous solutions seem tempting. Drawing from insights in Brad Stulberg's work, they stress the value of focusing on the process itself rather than obsessing over the outcome. The episode encourages athletes to embrace their core values—whether it's perseverance, integrity, or self-improvement—and use them as guiding principles throughout their training and race journeys. Ultimately, they highlight that true success lies in the commitment to consistent, incremental effort rather than expecting a singular goal to change one's life.

In Episode 90 of Trail Society, we sit down with Leela Srinivasan, the CEO of Parity Now, a pioneering platform that aims to close the gender income and opportunity gap in professional sports. Parity, founded in 2020, works with over 1,000 women athletes across 80+ sports, from archery to weightlifting, empowering athletes through impactful brand partnerships. Leela, a runner, mother, and passionate advocate for women's sports, brings her unique perspective to the conversation, exploring how her platform is reshaping the future of women's athletics. Her leadership at Parity is focused on tackling the financial inequities faced by female athletes, with an emphasis on securing meaningful sponsorships and creating long-term opportunities for women in sports. A key highlight of this episode is the release of Parity's groundbreaking research, "Beyond the Game: Exposing The Economic Realities of Professional Women Athletes". The study sheds light on the harsh financial realities faced by many female athletes, with findings such as 50% reporting a negative or zero net income, and 74% working another job to make ends meet. Leela discusses the contrast between the booming investment in women's sports leagues, like the NWSL and WNBA, and the ongoing struggles for athletes themselves. Despite these challenges, the research also highlights the potential for growth in women's sports, with consumers increasingly backing brands that support female athletes. Leela's insights into the disparity between league success and individual athlete earnings offer a sobering look at the financial landscape, while also providing a call to action for brands and fans to invest in women's sports to create lasting change.

In Episode 87 of Trail Society, the gang is back together for a deep dive into the intersection of ultra running and cognitive performance. Corrine, Hillary, and Keely unpack recent research from the world of Backyard Ultras, where a group of Belgian scientists explored the effects of extreme endurance on the brain. The study, conducted during an April 2023 event, found that while sleep deprivation and fatigue did slow reaction times, for the athletes that lasted the longest, physical performance remained stable. This episode explores how mental fortitude — the ability to push through the struggle to continue — might be just as critical as physical endurance in ultra running and beyond. Can the mental endurance required for these extreme races teach us how to better manage our effort and focus in other areas of life? We also shift gears into the world of self-esteem and positive self-talk, exploring how these mental strategies can enhance athletic performance and improve overall well-being. With insights from psychological research, Hillary guides us through the latest findings on how positive self-talk can boost motivation and confidence in athletes. Whether you're running a race or tackling a big challenge in life, the ability to stay focused, motivated, and positive can make all the difference. Tune in for a conversation on how ultra runners and everyday athletes alike can leverage their mental game to go further, faster, and stronger. We are launching our own YOUTUBE channel!

In Episode 72, we are joined by Dr. Emily Kraus, a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford Children's Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. She is trained in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) sports medicine and is also the director of the FASTR program. FASTR stands for Female Athlete Science and Translational Research, which is dedicated to closing the gender gap in sports science research. The program emphasizes early identification and interventions to prevent injury and optimize performance in female athletes. During the episode, we discuss Dr. Kraus's journey to becoming a physician who focuses on female athlete health. We also talk about how the lack of female representation in sports medicine motivated her to pursue this career. We explore how increasing female representation in sports medicine can positively impact athletes. Dr. Kraus shares how working as both a clinician and scientist allows her to better understand female athletes and apply findings in the clinic. We delve into coaching female athletes to return to sport from low energy availability and bone stress injuries and how to balance volume and load while also ensuring the athlete's health and safety.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Podcast, I talk with professional trail runner and exercise scientist Keely Henninger. We discuss community and competition in trail running, and Keely shares strategies for optimizing performance, as well as handling unexpected challenges like injuries and race DNFs. Keely and I explore nutrition culture in trail running, how fueling enough improves how you feel and perform, as well as debunking the fear of overfueling. Keely touches on her nutrition journey, from underfueling and injuries, to eating poptarts on the trails and winning National Championships! More than a runner, we talk about Keely's career in exercise science, first researching biomechanics and female athletes for Nike, and now exploring the intersection between how athletes' actually fuel, their performance, and exercise dependency. We highlight the performance gains to be made from proper nutrition, and how current fueling guidelines and sports nutrition companies' recommendations may be wrong. Our advice to listeners is that unnecessary suffering can be avoided by fueling enough, and athletes' should be more afraid of underfueling, not overfueling!

Welcome to Episode 73 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring fellow Sports Dietitian Heidi Strickler, MS RD CSSD. Heidi is a trail runner and self-proclaimed outdoor junkie based in Seattle. I got a listener request to do a show on relative energy deficiency in sport - also known as RED-S (soon to be REDS) - around the same time I heard Heidi's interview on the Trail Society podcast, and knew she'd be a great dietitian to tackle this topic with me. I have covered this topic before but it's been over two years, so it was time to do an updated deep-dive.We cover the basics of REDS including warning signs, the normalization of disordered eating especially among endurance athletes, intentional versus unintentional under-fueling, the importance of nutrient timing versus end of day nutrient adequacy, practical advice on how to make sure you're eating enough and not just relying on hunger cues, menstrual dysfunction, what treatment to regain a period may look like, and SO much more. Please note - just like eating disorders do not have a specific "look," underfueled athletes may or may not show the clear warning signs of REDS that we discuss. For example, they may still have a normal period or they may have normal bloodwork. Pay attention to how you feel during the day, your bowel habits, your sleep, your appetite, how you're recovering from workouts, and the overall picture of your eating and training patterns.I hope you enjoy this episode and find it helpful!

Welcome to Episode 70 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Corrine Malcolm. Corrine is a professional ultrarunner, run and ski coach, co-host of the Trail Society podcast, and Editor-in-Chief at Freetrail. There's so much I didn't get to ask her even in a 90-min episode, but we did go real deep into her history as a high school and collegiate athlete, specifically as a high level nordic skier and biathlete who also dipped her toes into the running world. Corrine shares her experience with overtraining in biathlon, slowly clawing her way back to health, how she got into ultrarunning, and how her experience of chasing the Olympics as a biathlete affected her mindset as an ultrarunner. I was really amazed to hear that she was “winging it” with her nutrition up until a couple of years ago.We of course dig into her nutrition background and how it evolved over time, and we also veer off course quite a bit too. That's okay though - I loved hearing her unique story and I think you will as well. FYI, we recorded this episode on May 31st, and since then Corrine placed third at the Cascade Crest 100! You can head over to the Trail Society podcast if you would like to hear all the details about that race.

Welcome to Episode 54 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Dr. Kelly Pritchett PhD, RDN, CSSD and Keely Henninger. Kelly is a Sports Dietitian, Professor in nutrition and exercise science at Central Washington University, and an endurance runner. In Episode 36, she came on my show to discuss current research on a variety of nutrition topics, and she returns today to speak about two of her own studies, one that was published this year, and another that is in the works, in collaboration with Keely. Both studies examine the link between underfueling, exercise dependence, body dissatisfaction and performance among endurance runners. Keely Henninger is an elite runner with Altra, a scientist, and one of the podcasts hosts of Trail Society. Keely has been on the trail and ultra racing scene for may years, and holds a number of race wins and other accomplishments, including being a member of Team USA, holding the USA 50-mile national champion title, two wins at Lake Sonoma 50, and a top 10 finish at Western States. Keely joins us for this episode to discuss a research study that she has been conducting with Kelly, and she also shares some of her own nutrition journey as a high-performing athlete. I had a great discussion with these two amazing women on changing the narrative around fueling in endurance sport. We covered the importance of weight and body composition to performance, the appropriateness of weight periodization in recreational runners, the prevalence of underfueling in endurance athletes, and so much more. Thank you Kelly and Keely for your time and for the important work you are both doing to improve our sport!Without further ado, please enjoy my discussion with Kelly Pritchett and Keely Henninger on their recent research on fueling in the endurance athlete population.Links & Resources:Here is the link to the first research study that we discuss (aka “The Olympic Trial Study”)Follow Keely on Instagram and Twitter (@runwidkeel)Follow Kelly on Instagram and Twitter (@KPritchettRD)Other Announcements:Please show your support by leaving a rating and/or review on iTunes Music Credit: Joseph McDadeHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, I talk with professional trail runner, coach, podcast host, and physiologist, Corrine Malcolm. We start by exploring Corrine's childhood in Wisconsin, growing up a very active kid, involved in sports from early on. Corrine shares how her competitive spark was ignited, playing a variety of sports through high school and in college. We hear Corrine's remarkable story of playing on two different NCAA college teams: cross country skiing and track. She discusses some of the challenges of being on a competitive collegiate team, including how team politics kept her from racing nationals. With her eyes on the Winter Olympics, Corrine explains her decision to drop out of college and join the US biathlon team. A mix of cross country skiing and shooting, Corrine's training increased dramatically and it wasn't long before Corrine started to feel the effects. Corrine talks about the team cultures within college and professional settings she's been a part of, and how that influenced her physical and mental health. We define overtraining syndrome (OTS), the signs and symptoms, and how to avoid it. Athletes with OTS are no longer benefiting from their training, and a couple rest day won't solve it. Corrine shares her story with overtraining syndrome, even without RED-S or underfueling, that left her chronically fatigued and resenting the sport. We touch on the overlap between RED-S and OTS, while highlighting that they are independent conditions. Corrine opens up about the psychological symptoms of OTS, poor training, underperformance, and anemia that she experienced: OTS is all an encompassing physiological, metabolic, and mental condition. We discuss recovery from OTS: Corrine was forced to retire from biathlon prior to the Olympics and step away from all sport for 18 months. We hear about Corrine's return to competitive sport, this time in trail and ultra running, and how she is using the lessons she's learned along the way to help her and others succeed today. Corrine normalizes taking time off and sharing the struggles, both in this episode and on her own podcast the Trail Society. Corrine and I discuss staying fueled even with a busy schedule, including great strategies perfect for high school and college athletes, as well as us moms and working professionals. Corrine shares how she currently prioritizes her nutrition within and around workouts by planning ahead and preparing snacks and recovery shakes in advance. We emphasize the importance of avoiding within-day energy deficits, starting with eating around morning workouts. Corrine advises listeners that being busy is not an excuse for underfueling, and coffee is not breakfast! Corrine Malcolm's Official Bio: Corrine is a coach, physiologist, writer and newly minted editor-in-chief for FreeTrail, podcast host, and a professional runner for Adidas Terrex. Corrine takes after her mom -an emergency medicine doctor, medical director, and violin teacher- in that she feels she has to do a little bit of everything. Corrine says she has vexed many teachers, coaches, and parents with her need to know "why" - but that same impulse drives everything she does. Corrine has been an NCAA athlete in two sports: skiing and running, a national team member in both biathlon and trail running, dropped out of college twice, coached endurance sports for a decade, and most recently she has helped launch live broadcast commentary for trail and ultra running at races like the Western States Endurance Run (WSER) and Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB).

In this episode of the Female Athlete Podcast, I talk with professional runner for Altra and scientist Keely Henninger. Keely shares our mission of empowering female athletes through her own Trail Society podcast, worth a listen for everyone, not just trail runners. We explore Keely's introduction to trail running, attracted to the sport because of the incredibly supportive community. Now a professional runner for Altra, we discuss Keely's recent race, the Western States 100 miler, and the difficult decision to drop out she was forced to make at mile 40. Keely shares how she used previous mistakes and challenging races as learning experiences in the lead up to Western States. This included having a fuelling and hydration plan dialed in and controlling for what she could. Preparation is key to success, but even with the best plans, unexpected obstacles still come along. Keely's rolled ankle during Western States is one such example, and we talk about dealing with running heartbreak and not finishing races. But even in the midst of disappointment, Keely and I emphasize the importance of recognizing wins along the way: successfully executing race day cooling strategies and nutrition plans were big wins for Keely. We talk about fueling training and racing, and how the default recommendations and tendency to “get by” on the least amount of food and fluid during workouts is performance limiting. Keely and I discuss the difference between pushing through challenges and unnecessary suffering, factors that apply to both training and nutrition: sport is hard enough as it is, and fueling and recovering appropriately can help you avoid unnecessary suffering and reach your potential. We debunk the fear of overfueling and laugh about the fun with food that trail runners embrace! This includes incorporating real and “junk” food as well as typical gels and sports nutrition products. Transitioning to Keely's career in science and research, she shares her interest in medicine and female athlete physiology. She talks about some of the studies she's been involved in around neuroscience, exercise and biomechanics, as well as her previous work at Nike researching and designing women-specific footwear and apparel. As an independent researcher, Keely is currently looking into the nutrition and training practices of male and female athletes of all ages. She is exploring the link between underfueling, exercise dependence and performance, and we briefly touch on this. Keely and I talk about the need for more research into female athletes, especially studies correlating fueling adequately and maintaining a menstrual cycle with optimum performance and reduced injuries. Follow Keely on Instagram and Twitter @runwidkeel Tune into the Trail Society podcast Keely's Official Bio: Keely Henninger is a professional runner and scientist fighting for athletes to treat their bodies with respect in order to train and race their best. She has competed in the trail-running circuit for over 8 years and has represented team USA, been the National 50 mile champion, and has won and competed at many prestigious national and international races. Currently she is co-leading research with Dr. Kelly Pritchett in the ultra/trail running space around fueling habits, exercise dependence, and health while training for national and international races.

Though the FasterSkier team would select other highlights from the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games, one of the most read articles we produced featured the responses of members of the ski community to a story published on February 8th by the New York Times, which included the following quote:“In a sport that has so many women with massive shoulders and thighs, Diggins looks like a sprite in her racing suit, and it's not clear exactly where she gets her power. But the power is there, as she flies up hills, and comes off climactic turns with a burst. On the downhills, she tucks low and cuts through the air.”Following the initial backlash sparked by the quote has prompted a number of insightful conversations – and questions – on how athletes, men and women, are portrayed by the media, whether there is room for descriptions or comparisons of athletes' bodies to narrate a scene for a reader, and how the landscape of sports media has shifted with time.For this discussion, FasterSkier brought together a panel that spans both the athlete and media perspective on the issue.Perhaps needing the least introduction for this audience, the first voice you'll hear belongs to Rosie Brennan. In addition to her role as one of the top American cross country skiers for more than a decade, Brennan is also an advocate for the organization Voice in Sport which provides mentorship for developing female athletes across all sports. And she was a member of the women's Olympic skate sprint final in Zhangjiakou, taking fourth place just behind Diggins, the race which sparked the discussion in the first place.The second belongs to professional trail and ultra runner Corrine Malcolm, whose first go at professional endurance sport was in biathlon, from which she retired in 2014 after experiencing overtraining syndrome, likely coupled by relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). Alongside her athletic career, Malcolm has become a coach for other endurance athletes, while also becoming an advocate for women in sport, and has also engaged with this topic from the media side of the coin while calling some of the top ultra running events worldwide, including the Western States Endurance Run in California and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) which begins and ends in Chamonix, France. She's also the co-host of an engaging podcast called Trail Society, which dissects challenging topics in the trail and ultra-running space.We've also got Brian Metzler, an award-winning veteran journalist and author in the endurance space who currently writes for a number of publications including Outside, Competitor, Women's Running, Triathlete, and Trail Runner magazines. Writing with perspective from his own athletic career, Metzler is Colorado Running Hall of Fame inductee (2015) who adventures on foot, ski, and sometimes alongside a burro, throughout the high country of Colorado. Lastly, you'll hear a cameo from our own Nat Herz, on lunch break from his “real job” as a full-time reporter for the Anchorage Daily News. Having written for FasterSkier from 2009 through 2015 before making a return this year as our 2022 Olympic Correspondent and co-host of the Devon Kershaw Show, Herz shares insights from his time covering cross country skiing paired with those from behind a very different desk.Some of the talking points discussed include: Initial responses to the NY Times story A writer's responsibility to be informed on the sport being covered, in addition to the physical and/or mental health challenges that may be pervasive in that setting Differences between American and European media, and shifts in focus, norms, or trends in sports media Differences, or lack thereof, of covering athletes of different genders Thanks for listening, and to this episode's sponsor, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Please note that the Craftsbury Green Racing Project Ski and Biathlon teams and U23 summer programs are currently accepting applications for the upcoming training year, which will close on April 10th.

The U4C project has been a long time coming. What started as a connecting road between the remote villages of Tahsis and Zeballos has become an economic development journey. Over the last 30 years much relationship building and understanding of the specific concerns for every stake holder have been explored. There has been many peaks and valley's. But adapting to the pivots of process and permiting is how we get to where we are going. Looking forward to the day when we can all meet on the summit. Thanks to everyone who could attend our meeting on November 29, especially but not limited, to Mark Tatchell, Mayor Martin Davis, Mayor Julie Colborne, Adrian O'Connor, Shannon Carlow, Bridget Horel, Sarah Audet, Kira Marshall, Jonathan Binnington and Robert Van Der Zalm. To once again gather with directors, to see the multitude of ways that we worked together, to really enjoy the view from the top. Thanks to everyone involved over the years and the future partners, yet to get involved, in the multi use trail, society and backroad culture that we live, work and play in. Appreciate your interest and involvement in our regional trail society. Please reach out to unityfourcommunities.wordpress.com or unity4trail@gmail.com with inquiries. We are also on both Facebook and Instagram, feel free to reach out anytime with questions or comments.

The PodiumRunner Endurance Podcast is hosted by Ian Sharman, a professional ultra runner and coach with over 200 marathons or ultra finishes and more than 50 wins (www.sharmanultra.com, @sharmanian). We discuss training and racing topics with leading sports scientists and how to practically apply research findings for marathoners and ultra runners. Ep. 19: Returning from Injury with Hillary "Hillygoat" Allen This episode we're talking to Hillary Allen who is an endurance athlete and coach specializing in mountain ultra marathons where she's earned the nickname, "Hillygoat." She started running in 2011 and comes from a background of high-level athletics, playing tennis in college. She's podiumed at many races around the world and is probably best known for her serious injury from a near-fatal fall at a race in Norway in 2017 and the return to racing afterwards, documented in the book, ‘Out and Back: A Runner's Story of Survival Against All Odds.' She also has a Masters in Neuroscience and Physiology and Structural Biology and co-hosts the Trail Society podcast. You can follow Hillary on Twitter (@hillygoatclimbs) and Instagram (@hillygoat_climbs). This show we're talking about returning from injury or a longer break from running. We discuss: Hillary's accident at the Tromsø Skyrace in 2017 and the resulting months. How she focused on physical rehab, despite seemingly minimal gains much of the time. Her mental approach to recovery, including returning to that same race to complete it two years later. What she's learned and useful takeaways for anyone who gets injured.
Fresh off her awesome run, completing her third Run Queensland, Blackall 100KM, Sarah takes the host spot in this episode and chats to Kristen, less than 24 hours afterwards, about her experience at this iconic Sunshine Coast ultra trail run event. This is a great opportunity to hear Kristen's personal experience of running 100kms - amidst a very busy life beyond running - and whether you're an experienced trail runner, interested to hear the perspective of another athlete, or you're curious about what it takes to participate in an endurance event of this scale, there's something in here for you! We talk about training and injury; preparation; coaching; the “why”; race day experiences; nutrition; community and all the highs and lows that come with such an epic achievement. You can find out more about the Blackall 100 here. We also reference some of our favourite podcasts including Megan and David Roche's Some Work All Play Podcast (woooohoooo - if you know, you know); the recently launched female, pro athlete led podcast Trail Society and Jason Koop's KoopCast. Kristen mentions the awesome book from Stacey Sims, ROAR and shout out to Sunshine Coast locals Rachel and Jason from Infinit Nutrition Australia.
