Cari Masek is an avid runner, race pacer, and coach.  She races every distance from 5k to 50k, with her favorite being the Half Marathon.  Having completed over 100 half marathons, she is currently working on a ONE STATE goal to run every half in Ohio.   She volunteers as a pacer at seven local half marathons, a race director at two local races, and as a coach for three different kids programs.  She has been the head coach of the Centerville Striders Elementary Cross Country team for fourteen years.   Knowing she is making a positive impact on the next generation of runners (k-6th grade) means more to her than any personal accomplishment. Cari ran her first marathon after being inspired by an episode of the Marathon Training Academy and would say running has absolutely changed her life too, teaching her to set goals and dream big.  The running community is the best and she is grateful to be a part of it.  

"When we look at things on a neighborhood level and we're noticing patterns, noticing new colonies — when something's predictable, it's preventable." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Kitten Conference. What does it look like to build a community cat program from scratch — not just logistically, but with real intention about how change happens in a neighborhood? In this episode, Stacy LeBaron speaks with Tonya Cook, Community Cat Program Manager at Ohio Alleycat Resource (OAR) in Cincinnati, about her remarkable journey from neonatal kitten foster to full-time community cat advocate, and what she's learned about scaling impact when you're a team of one. Tonya's path into animal welfare began in 2020 when she started fostering neonatal kittens with Cincinnati Animal CARE. Night feedings and fragile lives gave her a front-row seat to how many kittens were being born outside — and how few resources existed to stop the cycle at the source. That question drove her toward TNR and, ultimately, toward a complete career change. In 2022, she left behind 15 years as a professional photographer to pursue animal welfare full-time, gaining hands-on experience at UCAN and Cincinnati Animal CARE before joining OAR in 2025 to build its community cat program from the ground up. In its pilot year, that program has facilitated the TNR of over 400 cats — most of them trapped by Tonya herself, two days a week, before she recognized the limits of that approach. When burnout began to set in, she did something harder than trapping: she stepped back. That decision led to the creation of OAR's Neighborhood Cat Ambassador Program, which embeds trained volunteers directly into high-need zip codes identified through shelter and rescue data. Ambassadors walk their streets, distribute flyers with QR codes linking to a community cat census, connect caregivers to resources, mediate neighbor disputes, and trap for those who can't. The result is a program that feels less like a service and more like a movement — and one that's bringing neighbors together in the process. Tonya also shares an inspiring story from a mobile home park 20 miles outside Cincinnati, where she spent last spring trapping 58 cats. Earlier this year, the park reached back out — not to ask for help, but to learn how to do it themselves. They've since purchased their own traps, gone door to door, posted on social media, and started bringing cats in weekly. That's the long game Tonya is playing: not just TNR, but teaching communities to sustain the work themselves. Press Play Now For: How fostering neonatal kittens led Tonya to TNR — and a complete career change Why Tonya insisted on doing the work herself first before bringing in volunteers, and what she learned from that approach. The story of Sonny, the neighborhood cat who introduced a whole street of strangers to each other How OAR's Neighborhood Cat Ambassador Program works, who it recruits, and why ambassadors stay engaged longer than traditional trapping volunteers A mobile home park success story: from one organization doing the work to a community sustaining TNR on their own Why "when something's predictable, it's preventable" is the mindset shift that defines neighborhood-based cat management How to find common ground with neighbors who hate cats and neighbors who love them Resources & Links Ohio Alleycat Resource (OAR) — Website OAR Community Cat Program OAR on Instagram (@ohioalleycat) OAR on Facebook Tonya Cook on Instagram (@cincycatlady)

The easiest way to sabotage a marathon isn't missing a workout, it's making a tiny race day choice that snowballs. We pulled 252 responses from our WeViews “Race Day Insights” survey and sat down with returning guest Elizabeth Clore (Boston Bound author and a multi-time Boston Marathon finisher) to translate the data into decisions you can actually use on your next start line.We dig into the hot-button topic of carbon plated running shoes and why 63% of marathon respondents race in them. We talk real benefits, real risks, and why stability can matter more than hype depending on your gait and terrain. We also get into brand talk, including the Nike Boston sign controversy and what marketing outrage cycles say about the running community, plus why some runners stick with reliable models like the Saucony Endorphin Pro even when flashier “super duper shoes” show up with $600 price tags.Then we go deep on marathon fueling strategy and logistics. Elizabeth shares what she used at Boston: a smart mix of Maurten gels, UCAN pre-race carbs, Honey Stinger chews for when gels get hard to swallow, and Skratch Labs hydration for electrolytes plus carbs, along with how she carries a handheld bottle early and switches to aid stations later. We wrap with pacing strategy, A-B-C-D goals, Garmin screens that keep you honest, and the most common race day mistake we all make: going out too fast.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with a training partner, and leave us a review. What's the one race day decision you want to get right next time?

This week on Fuel for the Sole, we're diving into a new oral iron strip that's been making waves, sharing our thoughts on the recent UCAN scandal, and tackling a packed mailbag of listener questions.

Kelly and JK celebrate episode 75 and share training updates: Kelly recaps a March 28 two-mile race and  notes issues with the Runna app. JK reports recommitting to priming and short recovery circuits after lifts, reframing rest days as “recharge” days, and separating recovery as part of training strategy rather than sleep. They then discuss controversy around marathoner Emma Bates being dropped by nutrition brand UCAN after revealing she was pregnant, including disputed contract/negotiation timing, reduced offers, PR implications, contractor protections, and whether sponsorship type affects pregnancy support.00:00 Episode 75 Kickoff01:29 Updates And Controversy Tease01:54 Kelly Two Mile Race Recap11:19 Runna App Frustrations16:51 JK Recovery Work Recommitment28:22 Courtroom Streams And Lunch Breaks32:06 Unedited Reality Moments32:35 Desensitized To Crime34:57 Living Abroad Perspective37:35 Pivot To Fitness Talk37:58 Emma Bates Sponsor Dispute43:43 Brand Nuance And PR51:29 Contract Terms And Workload01:00:49 Contractor Protections And Abercrombie01:07:02 Wrap Up And Where To Find UsFollow the podcast at ⁠⁠⁠@liftingrunninglivingpod⁠⁠⁠Email us at ⁠⁠⁠liftingrunninglivingpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠Follow JK at ⁠⁠@coachjkmcleod⁠⁠Follow Kelly at ⁠⁠⁠@runningklutz ⁠

Happy National Pajama Day! We kick off the episode by discussing the terror of a (thankfully fake) article about US airports banning pajamas, which is great news since Erin fully traveled to Puerto Rico in her PJs. We chat about United Airlines introducing "relax rows" that turn into couches, Erin's grueling three-hour book editing meetings, and her frustration over getting tension headaches every time she tries to practice push ups for her pull up journey.We also give a massive update on the Craig Conover 10K challenge, the race is officially tomorrow! Erin shares her Puerto Rico vacation workouts and her plan to rely on the Galloway method, while we debate forcing Craig to wear a "period cramp simulator" to slow him down. Speaking of period simulators, we review a viral video of a guy who ran 5 miles while continuously turning up a muscle stimulator to simulate period cramps, with his form completely falling apart by the end.In other news, our highly anticipated interview with the CEO of the Enhanced Games had to be rescheduled due to him losing his voice, despite our intense SEC.gov journalism prep. We also discuss Michael Johnson returning his $500,000 payment to help refund athletes for Grand Slam Track (and boldly request some free soda to cover the event in 2027).For "Tea Time," we dive into the messy controversy surrounding pro runner Emma Bates, who claimed her fuel sponsor UCAN dropped her when she got pregnant, while UCAN claims she rejected a new contract before the pregnancy. In other running news, we discuss the wild plans to turn the 2027 London Marathon into a two day event with 100,000 runners.We then cover a massive block of lawsuits: Live Nation executives getting exposed in leaked texts calling fans "stupid," a 20-year-old winning $6 million from Meta for social media addiction, a German tourist suing a NYC taco shop over "incapacitating" spicy salsa, and David's Protein Bars being sued for allegedly hiding 400% more fat than the label claims. Plus, Mike gets a text mid episode from his black market Chick-fil-A dealer offering expiring breakfast biscuits.Finally, we hit some niche internet trends: a "Would You Rather" involving a password remembering lizard vs. a gift giving raccoon, a Chinese hot pot restaurant robot going rogue and smashing dishes, and the revelation that Pokémon Go players unknowingly trained the AI maps now used by delivery robots. We wrap up with Erin's sneaky cottage cheese protein smoothie hack, survive a mid recording spider attack, and share a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about dogs conducting a full orchestra with the wags of their tails.

 Happy Friday! On todays episode we're joined byJordan Whitaker who is running the 130th Boston Marathon for Team Eye and Ear.

Marathoner Emma Bates went viral after sharing that her sponsor, UCan, dropped her once they learned she was pregnant. While UCan denied the allegation, it still reminded us of an unfortunate reality for women athletes – that the “pregnancy penalty” still exists. We break down what the penalty is, why some women athletes view pregnancy as a “death sentence” to their career, and how athletes like Allyson Felix have fought to stop it. In this episode, we also cover: Naomi Osaka retirement rumors swirling after her comments around motherhood and her tennis career Shaq addressing the AI-generated texts between him and Sabrina Carpenter NWSL smashing record attendance (again) – and the Denver Summit player who proved representation does matter Which teams made it to the Final Four, and how Blake and Caroline's brackets are doing Send Its: Carson Pickett's heartwarming moment with young fan: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcSRqXEjN_/ Shaq's AI-generated texts: https://youtu.be/rOxlgU75f7w?si=D7XQPSA24hqA5wqz&t=18 The Stewart-Brunson fracture: https://people.com/martha-stewart-said-nba-player-broke-her-toe-courtside-11871039 Miss Thailand contestant breaks it down: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWeaQ_PDRRM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Learn more about your ad choices.

Cue the latest running controversy because it had been a few weeks.  But first (!), Kara and Des update you on their lives including the latest race from Colt, and of course, Des's final preparation for Marathon des Sables. She will soon be running self-supported across the Sahara desert. In fact, she lands in Morocco on the very day this episode posts. Go Des... we are ALL cheering for you! Then if you missed it, Emma Bates posted on IG about getting "dropped" by UCAN (her nutrition sponsor) because of her pregnancy. Naturally, the world came to her defense, and now Emma is sharing more of her story on Ali Feller's podcast. Kara is no stranger to this issue, so she and Des dig into it, raising some good questions on the topic as well as a host of related ones. The short answer is... it's complicated, as many things are for athletes that are contractors and not in-house employees. Overall though, more rights and support for pregnant athletes is needed, and Alysia Montaño and Allyson Felix are leading the way. If you want to help, then put your time, energy, and money behind their work! Finally, we want to thank Lagoon for supporting the podcast (as well as Emma Bates even through her pregnancy)!

In this week's episode of the Sweat Elite Podcast, Mick Fox (2:19 marathoner) and Matt Fox (2:18 marathoner) reveal that they have both been doping to sub 2:20 marathons. They also talk about Emma Bates' UCAN sponsorship drama, an inbound message from Hugo Fry, Ben Is Running's Berlin Half Marathon result, Cole Gibbons' stress fracture, and much more. The episode covers a mix of humour, controversy, racing updates, and behind-the-scenes insights into elite and sub-elite running.

The light start transitions into a more serious check-in with Mick, who shares an update on a long-delayed hospital stress test following previous chest pain and concerns around heart health. The conversation then turns to the Emma Bates and UCAN sponsorship situation. They break down Bates' claim that she was dropped due to pregnancy, contrast it with UCAN's statement that discussions had already been underway, and highlight how quickly social media can form one-sided narratives without full context. This leads into a broader discussion around online reactions, accountability, and the dangers of pile-on culture. They also revisit commentary around running creators, with Mick acknowledging that Hugo Fry reached out privately to explain his financial situation and background. That added context shifts Mick's perspective, with Hugo planning to share more publicly in a future video. On the racing side, Mick recaps a tough half marathon run in heavy wind and rain, finishing around 68:40 for second place while importantly coming through healthy with no hamstring issues. Luke and Matt also highlight Ben Felton's strong 1:04:50 PB in Berlin and discuss an unusual race moment where a pacemaker nearly crossed the line first, sparking conversation about race dynamics. Matt shares updates from China, including exploring local running culture, testing Chinese super shoes, and the possibility of visiting factories to better understand production, distribution, and pricing. This opens into a broader reflection on journaling, maintaining real-world friendships, and staying grounded beyond social media. The episode also touches on Cole Gibbons withdrawing from the London Marathon with a stress injury, and a wider discussion around criticism directed at influencers. They reference Mary McCarthy's comments on gendered criticism in running and examine how online negativity often escalates beyond reasonable discussion. They close by encouraging listeners to join the Supporters Club and private podcast feed for deeper training conversations, additional episodes, and access to the Discord community.

We imagined doing PG-13 things to a very tasty gel before this great episode! The main training topic was a discussion of steady running. Lots of theory talks about “hard days hard and easy days easy.” But we think there's a place for an addition: “medium days medium.” We discuss the rationale and timing of how to work steady running into a typical week.We also had a big discussion of pregnancy and sponsorships, after Emma Bates announced that she was no longer running for UCAN. We had a few days to calm down, so the angry rants are strong but less intense than they would have been last week. And this one was full of fun topics! Other topics: ankle yeeting, colon health in runners (and David's screening experience), our favorite gels, a data snack connecting sauna use to lower resting heart rate, a study on sodium bicarbonate's effect on 5k performance, a big study on post-exercise ketones improving adaptation, a shocking TUE dashboard, hard candy to simulate the mouth rinse studies, depletion runs, hemoglobin levels, and lots more.Come for the science. Stay for David realizing that his takes are aggressively wrong. We love you all!

If you're a female runner and lately running feels harder than it used to, you're not alone. More fatigue. Slower pace. Longer recovery. Sleep disruption. Changes in body composition. For many women, these shifts begin during perimenopause, a stage that can start earlier than most runners realize. The problem is that most training plans never account for these hormonal changes, leaving many runners feeling frustrated and wondering if their best running days are behind them. The good news is they are not. In this episode, Dr. Duane Scotti sits down with our newest addition to the Spark Healthy Runner team, Coach Emily to demystify running through perimenopause.  Emily Fox is a UESCA Certified Running Coach, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, yoga instructor, marathoner, and mom who is passionate about helping women stay strong, injury free, and confident through every season of life. Together we break down what female runners need to understand about training during perimenopause and how to adapt your training so you can continue progressing, feeling strong, and chasing big goals. In this episode, we discuss: - What perimenopause is and when female runners may begin noticing changes - Common symptoms runners experience such as fatigue, slower pace, and longer recovery - Why strength training becomes even more important during this stage - How protein, nutrition, and recovery influence performance - How to balance training, career, family, and self care during this busy season of life - Why your best running may still be ahead of you with the right training approach Perimenopause does not mean your running has to decline. With the right strength training, smart programming, and support, many women continue to run strong and even set new personal records.   Listen to my previous episode on running through menopause here!

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

Pop music in 1990 was a wild experience. New queens of pop like Paula Abdul, Taylor Dayne, and Mariah Carey stood shoulder pad to bustier with 80s ladies Madonna and Janet Jackson. Hip-hop broke into the mainstream in a big way with M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice. The last gasps of hair metal still clung to the airwaves like so much AquaNet residue. Club music somehow how found its way onto Top 40 radio stations. And the totally unsubtle vocal stylings of Michael Bolton, Wilson Phillips, and others gave sad white people the confidence they needed to rock high-waisted jeans and pleated khakis. What a time to be alive! So join us as the Great Pop Culture Debate goes back to the beginning of the end of the 20th Century as we name the Best Song of 1990.Songs discussed: “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice; “There She Goes” by The La's; “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode; “Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles; “Groove is in the Heart” by Deee-Lite; “I'm Your Baby Tonight” by Whitney Houston; “We Didn't Start the Fire” by Billy Joel; “Vogue” by Madonna; “U Can't Touch This” by MC Hammer; “Poison” by Bell Biv Devoe; “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O'Connor; “Freedom ‘90” by George Michael; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Rhythm Nation” by Janet Jackson; “Pump Up the Jam” by Technotronic; “Hold On” by Wilson PhillipsJoin host Eric Rezsnyak, Derek Mekita, Jim Czadzeck, and Jonny Minogue as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic songs from the year of the final decade of the 20th Century.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1990 songs that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

"There's this sense of all these people, they came out to watch you do this weird, crazy thing. And you're running toward the thing you've been working toward for many months, and all of these people are behind you, and people beside you trying to do the same thing. It's very special." First, Emily Oster started running. Then she started running fast. Then she ran a marathon: the California International Marathon in 2023, where she finished in a Boston Qualifying time of 3:17:39. Now, Emily is officially a Boston Marathoner, having completed this year's race in a personal best time of 3:14:53. In this episode, the economist and best-selling author breaks it all down, including what her training was like this time around, what the energy in the city felt like for a first-time Boston Marathoner, and why she briefly considered calling it quits at mile 23.

"We don't do things the easy way." Ten years ago, Darcy Budworth was feeling burned out on running and racing in New York City. The interior designer felt a pull toward something beyond the classic weekend morning road races in Central Park. Enter Take the Bridge: an unsanctioned urban race through city streets and over bridges, navigating traffic, pedestrians, and bike messengers, all at night, in the dark. In this conversation, Darcy talks about building the thing she thought was missing from the running community. She talks about how Take the Bridge has grown and expanded beyond NYC to 27 cities and nine countries. She talks about how they've stayed true to TTB's roots, fostering community, connection, and exciting racing — and about what they're doing to celebrate the event's 10th anniversary this summer.

"I've tried to take on that mindset for the last few years at these races, of, 'How do I show up as authentically as possible, as the Ali I know I am and want to be, while having fun, while being professional… What does that look like?' And I feel like I kind of nailed it this time around." There's nowhere I'd rather be on the third Monday in April than at the Boston Marathon finish line! This year, I was honored to be asked back to perform a variety of roles in Boston. I was one of the announcers at the Boston 5K, I hosted two panels and one live show, I was one of the race announcers at the finish on Marathon Monday, and I was the finish line reporter for the world feed broadcast. It was a fun, rewarding weekend that included quality time with my favorite people, my biggest live event ever, a million finish line hugs, a few too many after-parties, and so much more.

"I want to go out there and just absolutely smash it out of the park." Next week, the pros and everyday runners alike will descend on Boston, MA, to run the 129th Boston Marathon. For most of these runners, getting to run Boston is a longtime goal or dream. One they worked hard at for years. And that's true even for professional runner Gabi Rooker. In this conversation, the former gymnast turned Nike-sponsored athlete and internal medicine physician assistant (what can't she do?!) talks about the road to her Boston Marathon debut. Gabi will race her first Boston this year, and it's been a journey to get to the start line. Gabi talks about how she recovered — physically and emotionally — from the 2024 Olympic Marathon Trials, and reflects on that five-second personal best (2:24:29) at the 2024 Chicago Marathon. Plus, what she'll be wearing on race day, what it's like being coached by her husband, Alex, and how she's feeling after logging 122-mile weeks throughout the Minnesota winter.
