Picture this: summer is here. You make a running plan that seems achievable, you get everything on your calendar, and you’re hyped for how awesome it’s going to be to run three times a week all summer long. For the first week, you’re killing it. You feel like a runner, and you’re loving it.  However, […]

I am back speaking with the fabulous Judith Gaton. We had a conversation just under a year ago all about giving yourself a post-pandemic makeover, so we’re back for a part two because there was a bunch of stuff we didn’t manage to cover in that episode, and we’re getting deep into all of that […]

Literally every single runner will be able to relate to today’s topic. Whether you’re an Olympian or a brand-new beginner, at some point in your running life, you’ll need to take time out due to injury or illness, and this can be incredibly difficult to manage. Most of us rely on running (at least partially) […]

Imagine this: you’re running outside, it’s vast and expansive, you’re surrounded by meadows, forests, lakes, mountains, and the coastline. This is just a teeny tiny fraction of the beauty Alaska has to offer, and there’s so much more ground to cover. This week, I have Kim Ryals on the show. Kim is the owner and […]

When someone gives you a compliment on your running, how do you respond? If they say, hey you’ve been killing your workouts lately and it’s really inspiring, do you find yourself arguing with them? You are so not alone, but it’s time to put an end to that. We are all steeped in patriarchal bullshit […]

I’ve got to say, I’m feeling tired. Exhausted might be a better word for it. Now, I had planned an episode all about visualization techniques to use on race day. But I just can’t. So instead, we’re going to talk about something I know so many of you are going through along with me: being […]

I’ve been hinting at this for a few weeks, but I’m talking about it in more depth today. The Rebel Runner Roadmap is getting a brand-new name. There are two reasons for this evolution. First, because of its associations with the confederacy and this country’s racist history, the term rebel has some negative and uncomfortable […]

I have a very special human on today’s podcast. I’m giddy with excitement to introduce to all of you Roslyn Mays, AKA Roz The Diva. Roz isn’t a runner, but she is an athlete and the world needs more athletes like her. So, if you got picked last in gym, Roz is here to offer […]

I’m currently taking Kara Loewentheil’s Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching, which is incredible. I’m learning so much and she’s just amazing. Now, some of you may remember she was a guest on this podcast about four years ago. We talked about body image and how to stop hating what you look like in race photos. […]

This week, we’re talking about how to process a DNF or a DFL, or a DNS. So, for those of you who don’t know, DNF stands for Did Not Finish. DFL means Dead Fucking Last. And a DNS means Did Not Start. I’ll be honest with you: it’s more than likely you will experience one […]
