Episode 149: Big Adventure Days, Racing Non-Negotiables, and Building Resilience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this week's episode, we catch up on Elena's recent 40-mile adventure on the John Muir Trail and talk about planning big adventure days, managing risk, and taking some of the pressure and perfectionism out of training. We also discuss approaching sport with more curiosity, finding motivation through supporting other athletes, and how to be a great crew member or pacer when a friend is tackling a big goal. Then, we dig into race-day non-negotiables, building a cookie jar of resilience data poin
Episode 148: Rethinking the Off-Season, Racing with Joy, and Context vs. Excuses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this week's episode, we rethink what the off-season should actually look like and make the case for staying active while shifting toward more diverse, fun, and low-pressure movement. We also pull lessons from the pros, including Rachel Entrekin on racing with joy and Lucy Charles-Barclay on having the patience to say no to a race in service of a bigger goal.

Read excerpt
In this week's episode, we dive into the key principles for fall marathon prep, from building a smart weekly structure and dialing in realistic goal paces to balancing speed work, long runs, easy volume, cross-training, and injury prevention. We talk about why feeling excited isn’t always the same as being fit, how to build toward race day without doing too much too soon, and why strength training, including the much-hyped Norwegian approach, may be simpler and more foundational than you think.
