Running Smart: Neurodiversity, Gear, Recovery & Cadence

🎙️ West Coast Ultra – Episode: ADHD, Fueling, Gear, Recovery & Cadence in Trail Running

I asked a number of athletes that I coach what they would like to hear more about and here are the topics of most interest:

🧠 Neurodiversity & ADHD in running – what ADHD actually is, what the science says about exercise and focus, and insights from Dr. Josie Perry on how to coach athletes with ADHD effectively.
🎒 Gear that works for you – why comfort, fit, and context matter more than hype.
🏔️ Running with poles – when they’re worth it and key technique tips.
😴 Recovery & Sleep – why your biggest performance gains come during rest, backed by science.
👟 Cadence & Running Form – busting the “180 steps per minute” myth and showing how elites like Jim Walmsley succeed with much lower cadence.

💡 Whether you’re training for your first ultra or refining your trail efficiency, this episode packs science, coaching insights, and practical tips into one trail-ready toolkit.
