In the Season 5 Premier of the PRP, Adam symposiums with seasoned run for fun enthusiast, multi-faceted community cultivator & knowledge promoter, fierce advocate for women in sport and all around radiant mama bear Heather Caplan, who has been preparing for the NYRR New York City Half Marathon on Sunday March 16th, 2025. Mel Sulaver, legendary performance RD, champion of women finding strength through sport and maternal matriarch extraordinaire returns to the show to offer her take on all things REDs, pospardum return to sport and of course eggs… SO MANY eggs.
The crew explores Heather’s lifelong relationship with running, where the only constant has been its ever-evolving nature—through adolescence, shifts in her professional life, and now parenthood; as the seasons of life have changed, so too has her relationship with the sport she loves so much. As the co-founder of the Lane 9 Project, Heather provides the PRP listenership with a behind-the-scenes look at how she’s building a resource-rich ecosystem for athletes looking to better understand their bodies, their cycles, and how the two intersect with performance and long-term health. Mel, back for her second guest hosting spot on the PRP, brings her signature calming presence and personal insights as a performance RD, athlete, and downright goddess of maternal & nurturing energy.
Vulnerability takes center stage when the trio unpacks the realities associated with REDs and period irregularity, all while emphasizing the power of sharing knowledge, building networks and bolstering awareness in the pursuit of driving change and reshaping the narrative for future athletes to come. There’s a whole lotta love in the studio this week people, and even more wisdom to go around!!
Hot damn, Sigman done did it again #jinglejacked! How many eggs are too many eggs? What exactly is mamacita energy?? Has Spring, sprung?! What’s your light? Did someone say chackra necklaces?! Wait wait wait… did Heather name her dog BANANA?!?! Gel me Nora! Kiddos, new homes & amenorrhea oh my!
