439: How Your Athletic Identity Influences Performance and Running Injuries with Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards
In this week’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Kate Edwards, a physical therapist with more than 15 years of experience and someone who brings so much compassion and clarity to the running community. From the very beginning, I knew this conversation would resonate deeply with runners who struggle with identity, injury, stress, or the constant pressure to “do it all.” Kate shares how her journey into running medicine was shaped not only by her clinical background ...

438: Don’t Let December Take You Down: The Science of Staying Consistent During the Busy Season

With holiday schedules, travel, celebrations, and a million extra to-dos, it’s easy to feel like your running routine gets thrown off track. But here’s what you might not realize: December doesn’t break your consistency— it simply reveals the defaults you fall back on when life gets full.

437: Thanksgiving Run-Down: Gratitude, Guilt, and Navigating the Holidays
This week’s episode is all about something we all need a little more of—gratitude, grounding, and giving ourselves grace through the holidays. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we’re diving into simple, practical ways you can weave gratitude into your running and daily life. Not in a “force yourself to be grateful” kind of way, but in a gentle, real, “let’s slow down and notice what’s good” way. From a 30-second pre-run gratitude pause to a post-run cool-down chat with yourself, thes...

435: The Paradox of Control: When Letting Go Helps You Run Stronger
In this week’s episode, Kevin and I dive into something that so many runners (especially my fellow Type A personalities!) will relate to — the paradox of control. As runners, we love our plans, our paces, our structure. Control helps us stay consistent and push toward our goals. But when that need for control starts to take over, it can also lead to stress, frustration, and even burnout — both on the run and in life. We open up about some personal experiences — from remodeling our bathroom (h...

434: The Overlooked Side of Recovery: Nutrition, Stress & Nervous System Regulation - Episode 4
In this final episode of our recovery series, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked — yet absolutely essential — parts of recovery: your nervous system.

It’s about helping your body and mind shift out of “go mode” and into a state where true repair can happen. Here’s what we cover in this episode: 🧠 Your nervous system’s role in recovery – How your bod...

431: The Science of Recovery: Episode 1
Most runners love the feeling of a good workout — that endorphin rush, the sweat, the sense of accomplishment. But here’s the truth: your body doesn’t get stronger during the run. It gets stronger during recovery.

It’s essential. They break down what recovery really means, why it’s often ove...

424: The Unspoken Secret To Becoming A Better Runner: Integrity
In this week’s solo episode, I’m diving into a concept that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves—integrity. Not just in the big, moral sense we usually think of, but in the everyday choices we make as runners and humans. At a recent business retreat, I had some big “aha” moments about how keeping (or breaking) small promises to myself connects directly to integrity. And honestly? I realized I had some breakdowns in this area that were holding me back. Maybe you’ve felt that too. Here’...

421: The Internal Battle We Were Both Experiencing On Our Run Up A Mountain
Today we share our recent hiking adventure in Tahoe — and the very real mental battles that came with it. From the moment we started running uphill at high elevation, the physical strain was obvious, but the mental strain was even louder. We pull back the curtain on our internal monologues — the negative thoughts that crept in, the moments of self-doubt, and the “why are we doing this?” questions — and how we worked through them in real time. One of the biggest takeaways? How powerful it can ...
