In S5Ep7 of the PRP, Adam chops it up with blossoming ultra running besties, self-taught watershed endurance scholars, certified Brighton Running Lab rats and brave-as-hell first-time 100 milers Kennedy Hyde & Sidney Jonckheere who have been preparing for the Huron 100 on Saturday June 7th, 2025.
Tap in to follow the hilarious and inspiring journey of two trail sisters-in-the-making who’ve swapped college classrooms for single track sermons and late-night study sessions for long-run snack prep. Kennedy—former soccer star, proud dog mama and modern-day trail Magellan—might not always know where she is, but definitely knows why she’s out there. Syd—aspiring garden guru, grounded gummy worm analyst, and intentional electrolyte sommelier—is lacing up with a quiet fierceness and the kind of grace you only get from honoring your pace, fueling with intention, and refusing to let doubt outrun joy.
The squad deep dives into what it means to show up for one another through the highs, lows, bonks, and breakthroughs. No coaches, no rigid plans—just two young women listening to their guts (and occasionally their knees), setting audacious goals and giving each other permission to chase big dreams without apology.
Things get vulnerable when Sid & Kenny reflect on what it means to show up exactly as you are and explain how the trail & running communities have become a primary space for them to explore identity, challenge old definitions of success, and lean into their individuality. The two also discuss the freedom that comes with taking the pressure off, trusting your own rhythm, and letting running be a practice in presence rather than perfection. From bug bites to body image and real food to raw feelings ft. a healthy does of trail trash talk, these two kindred spirits remind us all that the real finish line is feeling connected—to the run, to your people, and most importantly to who you’re becoming.
WTF is Hazel Nut Cream? Just how hard is Ken ridin’ the Bull? Errr did Koda just fart? Who the hell is Bubbs?! Garden alarms?! Potato shapes, pickleball feuds & patella tendons oh my!
This and so much more in this heart-filled, food-forward, sisterhood-celebrating edition of the PRP.
