The Multifaceted Athlete with Coaching Klutz

In this amazing conversation with nurse practitioner and health coach Elizabeth Knight, we talk all about health coaching: what it is, how it differs from the healthcare system, and how runners can benefit from it. We also talk about how Elizabeth got into running (and ultrarunning!), the pros every runner needs in their corner, the 7 core areas of athletic health, inclusivity in healthcare, and s...

This week, I had the pleasure of talking to one of my favorite running coaches who I’ve looked up to for years, Megan Roche. You may know her from SWAP running or the SWAP podcast that she hosts with her husband, David Roche. Or maybe you know her from their book, The Happy Runner. And if you don’t know Megan, she is also an amazing runner herself, coach, MD, PHD candidate in epidemiology and one...

I asked what you all wanted to hear about and overwhelmingly the response was the top training mistakes that I see as a coach and from being an athlete myself for years. I narrowed it down to 12 common mistakes that I see (though I could probably extend this list tbh) and talk about the first 6 in this week’s episode. I procrastinated recording this and ran out of time, so you’ll have to wait unti...

I wasn't planning on recording this episode, but I was FIRED UP from a post I saw on Instagram, insinuating that you had to be able to run a certain distance in order to train for another distance.

Let's talk about the issues with this advice and how to actually know if you're ready to train for a 50...

If you're...
