Runnah: Running Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Beyond!

Shoe Eating Monster is back… but she’s grounded. This episode is all about the shoes that have been part of my rotation while I recover from bilateral toe fractures — aka the era where I’m not running, I’m healing, coping, and emotionally attaching myself to footwear. If you’ve ever gone from “what’s my workout today?” to “what shoe won’t make this worse?” — this one’s for you. I’m talking through...

This episode of Runnah is one of those conversations that just feels good to be part of. I’m sitting down with Jenna Regan — local waxer, part of the recovery community, and an absolute force — who casually ran her first-ever marathon this year at the New York City Marathon . First marathon. NYC. No big deal (except it is a HUGE deal). Jenna shares what it was really like stepping into that moment...

In this video, I’m sharing how I’m actually recovering from my foot fracture — not just physically, but mentally too. Running has always been a huge part of who I am, so being sidelined has forced me to build a different kind of routine and learn how to stay connected to myself and my community when I can’t do the thing I love most. I talk about: What my daily routine looks like right now The bike...

This week on Runnah , we’re doing something a little different — a solo episode because we don’t have a guest this week, and honestly… this felt like the episode that needed to happen. This is a pep talk for injured runners . And if I’m being real, it’s a pep talk I’m giving mostly to myself — but I know I’m not the only one sitting in this space. Injury can mess with your confidence, your identit...

In this episode of Runnah , I’m sharing a very real update on my health and running — and honestly, just my life right now. I talk openly about my lived experience with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) , what it’s been like navigating ongoing medical challenges, and what’s currently going on with my feet, including infection management and bilateral foot fractures . This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a...

In this episode of Runnah , I sit down with Tom Meagher , a name deeply woven into the fabric of elite and high-caliber running for decades. Tom has spent years directing and supporting top-level track and road events, working behind the scenes to make some of the sport’s most iconic races happen. If you’ve ever watched or run the Boston Marathon, there’s a good chance you’ve seen Tom—he’s a famil...

My word for 2026 is FLOW . Flow means being like water in a river—moving forward no matter what shows up. Sometimes the river is calm. Sometimes it’s rocky, unpredictable, or forces a sharp turn. But water doesn’t quit. It adapts. It finds a way through. That’s how I’m entering this year. I’m running 2026 the way I should have run the Stone Cat 50 miler: • start slow • take the aid • listen closel...

This week on Runnah , I’m sharing a very special audio-only episode where I had the honor of being a guest on the Pain Cave to Power podcast—and I was genuinely so grateful to be part of this conversation. We talked about running, yes—but also about identity, visibility, and what it really means to keep showing up in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. I opened up about my journey as a marathone...

This episode of Runnah is just me. No guest. No hype. No pretending. I’m dealing with ongoing foot issues, chronic illness, and the very real reality of not being able to run right now—and honestly? That’s hard to say out loud. Running has always been my outlet, my grounding force, my way of making sense of things… and right now, it’s not there in the way I want it to be. So this is me checking in...

In this episode of Runnah , I’m joined by Jim Keane , Director of the Boston Bulldogs Running Club —a community built on running, resilience, and showing up for one another in meaningful ways. We talk about how the Boston Bulldogs have grown into so much more than a running club: they’re a support system, a charity team, and a powerful example of how running can be used as a force for good. Jim sh...

In this episode of Runnah , I’m joined by fellow running podcasters (and all-around great humans) Eric and Erika from On The Runs for a conversation that goes the distance—and then some. We talk about why runners are the best storytellers , how podcasting helps build real community in the running space, and why sharing all the miles—highs, lows, awkward moments, and yes… the infamous “Code Brown”...

In this episode of Runnah, I’m breaking down my full 300+ mile experience with the PUMA ForeverRUN 1 — a stability shoe that somehow keeps showing up and showing off.

In this episode, I head to the New Balance flagship store in Boston for a full fitting experience with the New Balance Wear Testing Apparel Team. I got to learn more about their process, try out gear, and make some incredible podcast connections with members of the New Balance team.

In this solo episode of Runnah, I’m opening up about something I’ve been quietly navigating behind the scenes: suspected dystonia and what it’s been like trying to manage symptoms while still showing up as a runner, a creator, and a human being. This isn’t a medical deep dive — it’s a real, honest conversation about learning to adapt, listening to my body, and figuring out what actually helps me d...

You know I don’t just test shoes — I rip ’em, run ’em, and see if they survive real life . This time, I dove into the Kiprun JF 190 — and after pounding the pavement (and trails), I’m giving it 9 out of 10 Shoe‑Eating Monsters for durability, performance, and price. In this video: Why the JF 190 is a killer value shoe (affordable but tough). How it held up through streets, training runs, and gener...

She grew up outdoors, fell headfirst into mountain + ultra running, moved to New Hampshire to chase big peaks, and now puts on some of the most beautiful races in the White Mountains.

Alright friends… today we are talking about the Saucony Hurricane 24s — aka the shoes I bought USED for like $30–40 and then somehow proceeded to walk over 600 miles in. SIX. HUNDRED. MILES. Who let me get that attached?? These ended up being my surprise workhorses this year, so I wanted to give you the honest, real-life, “this is what happens after I absolutely beat the crap out of them” review....

Rainy day vibes, good company, and some real talk about running long and getting humbled. In this episode, I (Julianna) sit down with Ben in his living room to unpack my 50 miler experience — the highs, the chaos, the bruises, and what I actually learned from it all. It’s one of those easy-listening episodes you can throw on while you’re doing chores, drinking coffee, or just hanging out on a quie...

You know that one random piece of gear you grab last minute… and it ends up saving your whole race? That was the New Balance Windcheater Jacket for me during my 50 miler attempt. This lightweight, wind- and water-resistant jacket was the real MVP — kept me dry, warm, and a little less feral through the chaos. The worst part? They don’t make it anymore. 😭 I break down what made this jacket so good...

This is the story of my first ever DNF — and wow, did it come with a plot twist (and a few acrobatics). At the Stone Cat 50 Miler, my brain told me to turn around before I even started… and maybe I should’ve listened 😅 The first loop was absolute chaos: pitch black trails, leaves hiding every rock and root, and me falling five times (including twice on my head) and rolling my ankle seven times —...

Hey friends — it’s me, Julianna, here to talk about something every runner faces but no one likes to admit… the mid-run emergency poop break. 😅 In this very real and slightly ridiculous episode, I’m reviewing my favorite cold-weather gear of all time: the TrailHeads Convertible Zip Mitts . These mitts have seen things — and I mean that literally. They’ve kept my hands warm, my fingers free, and m...
