This week's show brought to you by: Magic Mind You listeners know I do the majority of my runs and workouts in the mornings. And like you, this often results in a major afternoon slump. From just overall fatigue to brain fog that makes it hard to be creative and productive. Of course I've tried coffee and energy drinks, but while this provides a quick burst of energy, it doesn't last long and it's usually accompanied by jitters and feeling over-stimulated. So, a few weeks ago this brand called Magic Mind reached out and they were like: Hey, you got to try our shots, you'll get super focused.

" I just needed to do all of those things for myself before I really talked about it publicly. Plus, I was not in a great head space about it at first, as most people aren't with a big injury," says well-known sports dietitian Meghann Featherstun, RDN MS CSSD, in regards to the post where she shared her sacral stress fracture injury at the end of 2024.  Meghann Featherstun, aka "Feathers" (if you're a "Fuel for the Sole" listener), and maybe best known by her private practice's name and Instagram handle, Featherstone Nutrition, joined Lane 9 to talk about her running experiences—including her first marathon, the 6 World Marathon Majors in 18 months, her recent injury, and more. Featherstun is a 2:51 marathoner, breaking the 3-hour mark for the first time in 2019 and getting faster from there. And she's on Instagram weekly sharing accessible and easy-applicable sports nutrition information for the everyday runner.  (Think you can't fuel before your run? Her graham-crackers say otherwise!) This episode also covers:  the real reason Meghann signed up for her very first marathon in 2009 the lessons she had to learn for herself before specializing in sports nutrition how everything came together for her to complete the 6-star World Marathon Majors goal in only 18 months the process of coming to terms with her sacral stress fracture and then sharing with widely, which isn't easy to do how she's been recovering from that injury and of course, sports nutrition! Trends, carbs (not a trend!), sodium (also not a trend, but kind of is!), and eating adequately for performance.  Follow Meghann on Instagram @FeatherstoneNutrition.  Follow Lane 9 on Instagram @Lane9project.  To find a clinician to work with, go to Lane9project.org/Directory and match with a dietitian, therapist, physical therapist, and/or coach from our network.  And hey, if you like this episode, let us know!

Ever wondered what the Met Gala would look like if it were designed for runners instead of celebrities? Picture the World Marathon Majors as fashion houses, each with their signature aesthetic—Boston's traditional navy and gold, New York's urban grit, London's royal elegance. This playful reimagining opens the door to something deeper: how what we wear impacts how we run and feel.Welcome to the world of "dopamine dressing," where bright colors, bold patterns, and joy-sparking outfits can genuinely transform your running experience. This isn't just fashion advice—it's grounded in the psychology of how visual cues affect our brain chemistry and mood. Those neon shorts aren't just making a statement; they're potentially pulling you out of a training slump by triggering positive emotional responses. Whether you're adding a pop of color to your usual black ensemble, sporting a mantra tee, or embracing full "sparkle therapy" with sequined accessories, these choices can disrupt monotonous routines and multiply joy during your miles.May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to explore these connections between appearance, performance, and wellbeing. For mother runners navigating what Coach Christine calls "Maycember"—that overwhelming season of recitals, graduations, and end-of-year chaos—finding ways to maintain running routines requires particular creativity and self-compassion. The practical strategies shared here (shortening runs without eliminating them, stacking exercise with existing commitments, focusing on mental benefits over performance) offer permission to embrace imperfection while still honoring your needs. Remember that showing up for yourself, however that looks today, sets a powerful example of self-care and sustains your wellbeing during high-stress periods.Ready to add more sparkle to your running life?

This week on The Runna Podcast, we're joined by Cal Calamia—a California-based marathoner, educator, activist, and now the first non-binary athlete in history to podium at all six World Marathon Majors.After stepping away from collegiate running, Cal returned not just to compete, but to transform the sport. With their podium finish in London on April 27th 2025, they've now made history —all while advocating for inclusive race categories they helped build.In this episode, we explore Cal's incredible journey including:

What if the greatest performance enhancer isn't a pill, a device, or a protocol—but the air you're breathing right now? What if the quality of that air is silently shaping your sleep, your focus, your aging… even your future?My guest today is someone who lives at the intersection of wellness, innovation, and purpose. Helen Christoni is a health and wellness expert, educator, and a seasoned executive with over two decades of experience leading transformational brands. She's currently the Vice President of Business Development & Partnerships at Ideal Living, the force behind AirDoctor, AquaTru, and AromaTru, where she helps connect people worldwide to wellness tech that truly matters. At Ideal Living, the team firmly believes in Wellness Tech that serves a greater purpose, recognizing that access to pure air and clean water is a fundamental right for everyone.At our own Gateway Clinic in Santa Monica, we've seen firsthand the impact of using AirDoctor, especially in the wake of California's wildfires.Helen's brilliance doesn't stop at business. She's a passionate athlete who's run the Boston Marathon five times, completed three 100-mile ultramarathons, and, this gave me chills: she and her husband became two of only 16,000 people on Earth to complete all six World Marathon Majors, choosing to run Tokyo, Berlin, and Chicago all in the same year after one of the hardest seasons of their lives.This is a conversation about resilience, breath, and the unseen forces that either deplete us, or heal us.Episode highlights:0:00 – What if air is the greatest performance enhancer? 1:45 – Meet Helen Christi: Wellness leader, athlete, changemaker5:20 – Helen's health crash: Pelvis fractures, early menopause, and severe osteoporosis8:10 – Toxic environments, beauty industry exposure, and the turning point12:15 – Recovery, mentorship, and discovering clean air as medicine15:40 – Running 100-mile races and all six World Marathon Majors18:30 – Why pure air matters for endurance and inflammation21:05 – The "get it done" mindset and leading from trust24:45 – Clean air and water as human rights, not privileges28:00 – Systemic inflammation, detoxing during sleep, and foundational wellness32:20 – Surprising pollutants: Microplastics, VOCs, and how they harm the brain36:30 – Behind the tech: What makes AirDoctor different (Ultra-HEPA, VOC filters)41:50 – Mental health, pollution, and that "heavy" hotel room feeling45:30 – Real-world air disasters and the urgent need for preparedness50:10 – What Helen recommends beyond buying an air purifier52:00 – Where to follow Helen and learn moreResources mentioned:Ideal Living https://idealliving.com/Guest's social handles:LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/helen-christoni-5416ab5INSTAGRAMHelen Christoni https://www.instagram.com/helenchristoni/AirDoctor Pro https://www.instagram.com/airdoctorpro/AquaTru https://www.instagram.com/aquatru/

“Whether it's true or not, that's what I've got to believe. That's the faith I've got to have moving forward. Regardless of what other people say, or what other people think, there is power in truth and being honest with myself. There's got to be faith and there's got to be belief that I not only can close that gap, but that I am in that tier and I can compete with the best.”My guest for today's episode is Clayton Young. While Conner Mantz's 2:05 may have stolen the headlines, Clayton Young once again proved why he belongs in any conversation about the best marathoners in America. On a competitive day in Boston, he ran 2:0:7:04 – nearly a full minute personal best to finish seventh overall, tying his highest ever finish at a World Marathon Major. He did it despite a calf cramp at mile 20 and on an up and down lead up that included some frustrating half marathon results.But that's the kind of thing about Clayton's success, quiet consistency, big stage composure, and a resilience that keeps him right alongside the best, including his training partner and Olympic teammate, Conner Mantz. This Boston result marks their fourth straight marathon finishing as the top two Americans in every field, and every time Clayton Young shows up.In this conversation, we get into the Boston Marathon as it unfolded, what was actually going through his head when that mile 20 move got made, when that cramp hit, and why he's so good at staying in the mix.Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Clayton Young | @_clayton_young_ on Instagram SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Big name sodas are rolling out bold new flavors in 2025, but the real buzz is happening in the prebiotic pop aisle.

In this special Boston Marathon episode, we sit down right after the race with Dennis Lavoie—a remarkable runner from Maine living with Usher Syndrome Type 2, which causes both profound hearing loss and legal blindness. Just six years after taking up running, Dennis has completed all six World Marathon Majors, earning the prestigious Six Star Medal. He may be the first person in his para category (both blind and deaf) to achieve this milestone.This year, Dennis's regular guide was sidelined last minute, and our chance partnership was formed. We share stories from a history-filled weekend, including a pre-race dinner with my mentor Mark Bauman (Boston Marathon streak world record holder and this year's official starter), and lining up with the competitive para athletes division right behind the elite women. We even had the chance to encourage running legends like Des Linden, Sarah Hall, and Paula Radcliffe.Boston's course is legendary, and the crowds carried us from Hopkinton through Wellesley's “scream tunnel” and up the infamous Newton hills. Despite a hip flexor injury, Dennis finished strong—qualifying again for next year.We also discuss the tough Boston qualification process, the rarity of the Six Star Medal, and the power of community and tradition on marathon day.Learn more about Dennis's story: [Bangor Daily News article]1Support and learn about para athletes: Team With a VisionSee photos and read more: Running Anthropologist Blog: www.Runninganthropologist.com

There's a powerful truth about running that rarely gets discussed: getting older doesn't mean getting slower – it means leveling up differently. As our bodies change, we unlock new capabilities that can make running even more rewarding in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.Coach Christine, your "fairy run mother," breaks down exactly what changes with age (like that 1% VO2 max decline annually after 30) and what actually improves (hello, mental grit and endurance capacity!). She presents ten game-changing practices for older runners, from prioritizing strength training to hydrating smarter as our thirst response dulls. For female athletes navigating perimenopause and menopause, she offers specific strategies to work with hormonal fluctuations rather than fighting against them.The episode features Dennise, a remarkable two-time cancer survivor returning to the Chicago Marathon twenty years after her first attempt. Her goal? Completing all six World Marathon Majors – a challenge she embraced after beating cancer twice. "Why can't I have the six stars?" she asks, perfectly capturing the "why not" attitude that makes running in our later years so powerful. Dennise shares how her 83-year-old father still runs daily and how he inspired her journey, and she shares her creative fundraising effort of making marathon-themed gnomes for charity. Get yours here!Whether you're already in your "wisdom runner" years or approaching them, this episode reframes aging as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. As Coach Christine reminds us, "You're not slowing down, you're evolving," and extraordinary has no expiration date. Ready to discover running's secret power that only comes with age?

“I wouldn't toe the line for any race if I didn't think I could win. I'm a David amongst Goliaths out there, but I think I've always got a chance [to win].”In 2024, Dakotah Popehn wasn't on most people's U.S. Olympic team shortlist, but that didn't stop her from running herself onto the team with a fearless third place finish at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and a gutsy run in Paris that saw her leading the Olympic marathon around halfway. Popehn turned heads and rewrote the expectations around her name.Now she's back on the major stage – this time lining up in Boston with confidence, momentum, and a whole new set of eyes on her. She's won Grandma's Marathon and has been to the Olympic Games, but in the five World Marathon Majors she's raced, she's actually never cracked the top ten. Could that change in Boston?In this episode, we talk about how she's navigated a year of breakthroughs, how she's approaching Boston as both an underdog and a contender, and what she thinks of PUMA's Fast-R 3, which is already making headlines as the latest great innovation in the super shoes era.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Dakotah Popehn | @dakotahlindwurm on Instagam SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Big name sodas are rolling out bold new flavors in 2025, but the real buzz is happening in the prebiotic pop aisle.

This ignited a passion that led to multiple marathons, a 50-mile ultramarathon, and a run coaching certification. Now, she coaches with NYRR, provides 1:1 coaching, emcees for the Hartford Marathon Foundation, and co-founded H2gO to inspire and connect runners. Jarrod ZwirkoJarrod started running in 2020 after being inspired by The Hole in the Wall Gang's NYC Marathon team. A former swimmer, he took on marathon training as a new challenge and has since completed seven marathons, now aiming for the World Marathon Majors. Seeking a running community, he and Kayla founded H2gO Life to connect and inspire fellow runners. H2gOH2gO is built on inclusivity, welcoming all paces and faces, and since 2023, has quickly grown through local collaborations and a wider meetup radius, showcasing our dedication to building a strong running community.

In this Spotlight, Gareth and Ross kick off by looking back at teen sprint phenom Gout Gout's latest performances, which continue to project a spectacular yet unknowable future. Across the Ocean, a young South African put down a teen-sprint marker of his own with a sub-10s performance, and we use those performances to discuss the nuanced, fluid and undefinable element of super-talents in sport. What matters, what doesn't, what is required for entry into the elites, and what makes a difference once there?We also discuss whether the addition of the Sydney Marathon (among others) to the prestigious World Marathon Majors dilutes their equity, which presents a chance to discuss heat and performance related to both marathons and the currently ongoing Cape Epic. Finally, we chat concussion in the community game, in the aftermath of some misinformed perspectives raised by politicians in the UK about the concussion risk with lower tackle height in the game.Show notesDiscourse is our VIP community, and if you'd like to be a part of that conversation, receive Gareth's Caught my Eye newsletter, and to interact with fellow listeners, the way to do it is to check out this link, and become a patron of the podcast for a small monthly donation.

Welcome back to Extraordinary Strides, where we celebrate the ordinary runners who achieve truly extraordinary things! I'm your host, Coach Christine, and today we're diving into a topic that holds a special place in my heart: the magic of race-day spectating.

We're back! Time flies when you're having fun, and after a short break, we're recharged and ready to dive into a new season of inspiration and connection. This season, we're going back to basics. Before we Tri'ed, we swam, biked, or ran – maybe you're a seasoned athlete, maybe you just woke up one day and decided to tri, or maybe you're new to the sport and exploring what it means to tri. However you found your way to endurance sports, it all started somewhere. For many, that starting line was running. And this week, we're thrilled to continue the conversation with a true legend in the endurance world: Ted Metellus. As the first Black race director of a World Marathon Major – the iconic TCS New York City Marathon – He isn't just directing races; he is shaping the future of sport.  Ted's fingerprints are all over the endurance world. With over 25 years of experience, his influence spans the globe—from producing triathlons, road races, and cycling events to personally conquering over 40 half marathons. In this episode, we explore Ted's incredible journey, from his early days in event production to the profound significance of his historic role. It's a story of hard work, dedication, and a passion for creating memorable and safe experiences – a journey from rising through the ranks to the pinnacle of the sport. We'll uncover the common threads that connect all endurance disciplines, the logistical magic and immense challenges behind staging world-class events, and the vital importance of representation at every level. This is a conversation you won't want to miss. Plus, Ted shares information about the NYRR Virtual Black History Month 5K – a fantastic opportunity to celebrate Black history and the power of running.

“Immediately after dropping out of the Trials, Kurt [Benninger] was very quick to be like, ‘You will see the benefits of this. It's not today, but this is not for nothing.' It's nice to come full circle 11 months later and get that payoff.” My guest for today's episode is Erika Kemp, fresh off a remarkable performance at the 2025 Houston Marathon, where she shattered her personal best by 11 minutes to finish second in 2:22:56. This race wasn't just a breakthrough; it was a statement. Erika now ranks 12th on the all-time U.S. marathon list and has cemented her place as one of the top American distance runners. We dive into how Erika turned setbacks, like her tough day at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, into fuel for her Houston success. She shares what it's been like working with coach Kurt Benninger, her approach to marathon training, and how she's taking confidence from a performance like this for her career moving forward, whether it's chasing another World Marathon Major or earning a spot on the U.S. team for the World Championships.

“Especially after 36K, I was telling myself, ‘Even if they speed up, I have to go deep today…' I was telling myself, ‘This is my moment.'” My guest for today's episode is Abdi Nageeye, whose journey in 2024 could only be described as redemption at its finest. The Dutch marathoner and 2021 Olympic silver medalist who just three months ago grappled with his appointment after withdrawing late in the Olympic marathon in Paris, roared back to claim the biggest victory of his career at the TCS New York City Marathon. In a thrilling showdown against one of the strongest fields in race history, Nageeye deployed patience, strategy, and a powerful finishing kick to secure his first World Marathon Major title in 2:07:39 seconds, making history as the first Dutchman and the first European since 1996. To win the New York City Marathon from his self coach training in Eldoret to a race plan honed by years of experience on the course, Abdi turned heartbreak into triumph. We dive into his reflections on Paris, his mental and physical preparation for New York City, and what this victory means for him moving forward. But first, you'll also hear a never before released interview with Abdi from my trip to Kenya in June 2023, where we discussed a bit more of his backstory and upbringing from being born in Somalia to settling in the Netherlands as a refugee and spending time in Syria before finally being adopted by a Dutch family. I initially planned for this to be released last fall, but didn't have a chance to, but I'm now glad it's finally out. It's fun because towards the end of that first interview, I asked him what he wants to accomplish and he finally gets it done. Part one is my interview with him in Kenya and then part two is my interview with him reflecting on New York.

“I think as I run more and more and get more miles on my legs, I'll be able to hang with that lead pack later and later. But I stuck to my guns. I didn't really have a race plan going in other than taking the first few miles to feel it out. Then really just believing that I belonged in that lead pack for as long as I could hang with them.” My guest for today's episode is Jess McClain, who just wrapped up a heck of a year with an eighth-place finish at the New York City Marathon, running 2:27:19 and finishing as the second American. It was Jess's first World Marathon Major, and she showed incredible grit, moving steadily from 11th to 8th in the final miles and securing a spot among the top marathoners in the world. As we've explored on this show with her in January, Jess's journey to the marathon stage has been anything but typical. A former Stanford standout who took a hiatus from professional running, she's reemerged with stunning results. Earlier this year, she finished fourth at the Olympic Marathon Trials, making her the alternate for Team USA and nearly earning a spot at the Paris Olympics. She's since signed with Brooks and built a strong racing resume, including wins at the USATF Road 10K Championships and a second-place finish at the USATF 20K Championships. Today, we'll dive into her self-coached approach, her bold comeback, and what drives her heading into 2025.

In a fitting theme for the city of Broadway, the 53rd edition of the New York City Marathon was all about breakout stars finally getting their time in the spotlight. Both winners of the men's and women's elite races in NYC are frequently recurring characters near the front of major races, but neither had completed a signature performance before today.  Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands and Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya won their first World Marathon Major titles by defeating fields full of former NYC champs, with Nageeye outkicking 2022 champ Evans Chebet down the homestretch and Chepkirui beating 2023 champ Hellen Obiri at her own game with a late surge through Central Park.

The final World Marathon Major of 2024 is almost here! In a banner year for road running, it's hard to imagine how anything could top the Olympics, a historic Chicago, or even the early thrills of the U.S. Trials, but NYC has assembled a field full of living legends, rising stars, and fascinating narratives primed to end the year on a high note. Three 2024 Olympic medalists are hitting the five boroughs: Olympic champion Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia, silver medalist Bashir Abdi of Belgium, and bronze medalist Hellen Obiri of Kenya. Obiri and Tola also happen to be the reigning NYC champions, and Obiri will be trying to win the Boston-New York double for the second straight year. Five other former NYC champions are in the mix (three men and two women), plus a pair of stacked U.S. fields vying to produce top-10 overall finishes… or even higher. Here's a compilation of our interviews from the NYC Marathon press conference, including Conner Mantz, Clayton Young, Hellen Obiri, Dakotah Popehn, Jenny Simpson, Sharon Lokedi, Evans Chebet and Jess McClain.  Time stamps: 0:05 - Conner Mantz 6:10 - Clayton Young 15:30 - Hellen Obiri 20:17 - Dakotah Popehn 24:29 - Jenny Simpson 34:09 - Sharon Lokedi 40:31 - Evans Chebet 43:35 - Jess McClain Read: 2024 New York City Marathon Insider Notebook: What The Pros Had To Say Ahead Of Sunday's Race Read: Top Storylines To Watch At The 2024 New York City Marathon SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAHOO: KICKR RUN - a new revolutionary treadmill offering the freedom and form of outdoor running at home, from Wahoo Fitness.

One year after the late Kelvin Kiptum obliterated Eliud Kipchoge's previous world record by 34 seconds, running an almost unfathomable 2:00:35, Ruth Chepngetich topped that. Her astounding time of 2:09:56 is one of the greatest running performances in history, makes her the first woman to run under 2:10 in a marathon, and lopped one minute and 57 seconds off Tigist Assefa's old world record. On the men's side, Kenya's John Korir notched his first-ever World Marathon Majors victory in 2:02:44. (What a time for the sport of marathoning we're in right now, where a 2:02 showing is basically a footnote!)
