In this podcast episode, I dive deep into a conversation with Mason, a passionate runner with a profound journey from disliking hiking as a child to becoming a notable runner, including competing in college and eventually embracing trail running after college.
Growing up in Southern California with access to beautiful trails, Mason initially detested hiking but discovered a love for running after outpacing his brother and engaging in sports like football and street hockey. Despite struggling in team sports due to his size, Mason found his stride in running, fueled by sibling rivalry and a desire to qualify for a school 'Olympics.'
His journey took him to Furman University in South Carolina, where he continued running competitively but started feeling burnt out towards the end. The introduction to trail running rekindled his passion for the sport, leading to a shift towards running on trails post-graduation.
Mason also discusses the dynamics of transitioning from Division 1 running to trail running, his interest in sub-ultra running for its speed and intensity, and his experiences and perspectives on running road marathons, including hitting 'the wall.'
Moreover, the conversation touches on challenges like body image issues among male runners and the significance of embracing failures as learning opportunities. Mason shares upcoming runs and encourages engagement in sub-ultra and mountain races.

In this episode, Sarah, one of my friends from my first corporate job, talks about her ongoing struggle with eating disorders.
Growing up, Sarah was heavily influenced by her mother, who herself had disordered eating, and this shaped Sarah's unhealthy relationship with food. Sarah shares candidly about periods of restriction, binging, and orthorexia throughout her adult life, exacerbated by stress and mental health struggles.
Therapy has significantly helped Sarah, and she is currently focusing on rebuilding her physical health and managing her relationship with food. Despite still finding herself in the throes of struggle, Sarah emphasizes the importance of seeking help and not letting societal definitions of eating disorders hinder individuals from getting the support they need.

For the 5th episode in this series, I welcome Erin, a college friend, for a candid discussion about our shared experiences with eating disorders. Erin shares her struggle with bulimia, which peaked her sophomore year in college.
She analyses the societal pressures and her personal insecurities that led to her disorder and the emotional turmoil felt during the ordeal. Erin shares her journey towards recovery, marked by learning to shift her focus from how her body looks to what her body can do, as she builds a positive relationship with her body and food while pursuing her love for running.
Our conversation highlights the often overlooked vulnerability of high school and college-aged students towards eating disorders, the pervasiveness of diet culture, and the crucial role a positive environment plays in recovery and maintaining a healthy body image.

In this episode, I am joined by dietitian Chiara for a discussion about eating disorders as part of the February Eating Disorders series.
Chiara shares her personal journey of dealing with an eating disorder for a decade while studying to be a dietitian. This disorder, which went unrecognized for a long time due to societal normalization and stigma, severely impacted Chiara's life and relationships.
In 2017, after a significant turning point, Chiara began her path to recovery. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the reality behind food and body image, discussing her struggles with body dissatisfaction amid changing body during pregnancy.
Chiara also mentions the role climbing had in perpetuating her disorder, reinforcing weight-loss culture. Today, Chiara works as a weight-inclusive non-diet dietitian primarily with climbers, focusing on creating healthy relationships with food and the body.

In this episode, Clara recounts her personal struggle with an eating disorder and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), a syndrome resulting from insufficient energy intake in athletes.
Initially triggered by her perfectionist and over achieving tendencies, Clara struggled with an eating disorder starting in high school.
Post college when she started running, she unknowingly developed RED-S symptoms, such as loss of her period, fatigue, irritability, gastrointestinal issues, and proneness to injury. Despite facing dismissive attitudes from several doctors, she finds a wake-up call in a body composition test revealing critically low body fat.
Clara discusses the lifestyle changes she made to better manage her condition, which included setting reminders to eat regularly, sneaking in calories, and altering her mindset towards her performance in races. She also shares how managing RED-S has reshaped both her experience and love for running.
This interview is the first of many around folks' stories with eating disorders that I will be releasing throughout the month of February. The end of February is Eating Disorders Awareness Week (2/26 - 3/3).

In honor of Eating Disorders Awareness Week at the end of February (2/26 - 3/3), and February being National Eating Disorders Awareness Month, I’m kicking off a series of stories about folks who have struggled with an eating disorder, starting with my own story.
I’ve been saying I was going to share this on the podcast for almost a year now and have been procrastinating, partially because I didn’t want to make an outline for it and partially because I’m scared to share it.
I was inspired by Clara (next week’s episode) sharing her story that I finally sat down and recorded my own. The more we normalize conversations around eating disorders, the more awareness there will be.
This is a very personal and vulnerable episode for me, where I describe how my own eating disorder started in high school, how it related to running, and how it continued through college/grad school.
Please take care if you find these topics hard to listen to or triggering in any way, as I do discuss weight loss, fear of food, body image, eating disorder behaviors.

Kiera’s excitement for the future of our sport and RIDC is palpable, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this solo episode, the host recounts her experience of partaking in the Carlsbad 5K race in San Diego, drawing comparisons with her performance the previous year. Coming into the race after an injury and with a different training regimen, she attributes her near-similar time to consistency and cross training. The host finishes the episode by expressing a desire to focus on 5K speed and a preference for sea level races.

This week on What's What with Klutz #11, I chat about 3 main topics that are top of mind for me:- intrusive thoughts that cropped up from not being able to run as much- goal setting with competing goals- the NCAA XC showdown this weekend between Parker Valby and Katelyn Tuohy
Note: when I was talking about the race where Parker beat Katelyn, I said it was the ACC championships, but it was the Nuttycombe Invite. Apologies!

Spoiler alert: it's probably less than you think.
I'm big on helping runners break into ultramarathons, and one of the biggest barriers is how much time per week you need to train for one. Many assume that you need 8+ hours per week to run a 50k, and that's just not true.
I break down how long you need to train for a 50k, a good starting point before training, and take you through a typical training block progression leading up to race day.

I feel like I've been talking about the DC Peaks 50 forEVER, and the day finally arrived this past weekend. This race was....wild. And much harder than I could have ever anticipated. I ended up dropping at the mile 37.5 aid station and am really proud of how far I got and how long I was moving. Listen in to hear how the day went, why I DNFed, and how I feel now.

Before you listen to this episode with Vivian, I highly recommend you listen to my previous conversation on diversity with Jess Schnier from last year.
This week, Vivian Tang joins me for a very important discussion around diversity in trail running. There's been lots of chatter online around (the lack of) diversity in trail and ultra running following the coverage on the 2023 Western States 100. We wanted to get together to explore some of these topics and hopefully get some conversations going in the trail space.
We dive into:
How Vivian got into trail running
Her involvement with Trail Mixed Collective
The confederate flag at Barkley
The lack of discussion within the trail space and media
Research study results about trail running (linked below)
Leading group runs
Western States 100
The outsized role of brands and companies in trail running
The importance of representation
Being aware of who you’re listening to
Action we can take to facilitate change
and so much more.

You may know I have strong feelings about using heart rate to steer training for running BUT I know lots of people love it, so let's talk about it.
I cover: why I don't love using heart rate by itself, the typical zones, how I recommend calibrating your zones, and how I like to integrate heart rate into training.

Guess who ran another 5k this past weekend?! This is the final 5k to wrap up my winter of 5k training, and I was so excited going into this race. Race day was the day before my last day in corporate, so it felt serendipitous for 5k training and corporate work to end at the same time.
I was aiming, yet again, to run a sub 24 after running 24:04 in January in Carlsbad and 25:03 in December at the same course as the Donut Dash.
Race day, however, did not go how I wanted. This episode I recap the race, the struggles, how I prepared mentally for it, how to bounce back from a bad race result, and more.
Enjoy!

This week, I welcome back Jess Schnier to the podcast! Last time she was on, we talked all about diversity in trail and ultra running (highly recommend you listen to that episode), but you didn't really get to know a ton about Jess. Jess and I have become good friends since last recording, so I thought it would be fun to have her on again to talk more about HERSELF.
Listen in to hear about Jess' experience with Coaches of Color Initiative (she was the first recipient), a coaching tangent that resembles our daily text convos, Jess' 2023 running goals (hint: will we see her on the road?!?!?), and her recent 50k win.
You'll learn a little more about Jess as both a coach and an athlete.
Enjoy!

The long awaited story of how I got into coaching is here! Just kidding, this isn't long awaited, but at least one of you did request this!
The seed that would become my running coaching business was planted back in grad school, morphed into a baking business, and somehow we ended up here. Listen in for the full story and some questions from you! I talk about how I prepared to go full time in coaching, how I knew I was ready/that it was time, my coaching offers, how many athletes I'm aiming to acquire, and the biggest mindset shift from going from salaried to self employed.
Enjoy!

I'm so excited for you to listen to this week's episode with RD Alyssa Leib.
Alyssa is a climber and runner (she comes to the group runs most months!) and a registered dietician who works with athletes. The bulk of our conversation centers around intuitive eating: what it is, the 10 principles that guide intuitive eating, what it isn't, why Alyssa recommends it for everyone, and how athletes can utilize this. We end the podcast by musing about what we've seen in the climbing and running spaces related to diet culture and disordered eating, how this isn't just something that the pros deal with, and encouraging others to share their stories.
We do talk about eating disorders and share parts of our own experiences in this episode, so take care if that is hard for you.
If you want to share your story around eating but don't want to do so personally, I will be sharing anyone's story anonymously on a future podcast episode - just send me what you'd like me to read at kelly@coachingklutz.com or DM me on instagram.💜

This week I'm delighted to be joined by fellow running coach, Bertrand Newson (aka Coach B) for an amazing conversation.
We talk about:
how Coach B got into running later in life
getting into coaching
the importance of community
dealing with a running rut
falling back in love with running
his annual sabbatical
* the importance of his brother to his running
and so much more.
This is a very genuine, sometimes raw, conversation that I think you'll love.

Let's answer some questions that I got on my recent survey!
I answered questions about my training/coaching philosophy, how I incorporate strength training with running (which included an update on my personal training), which strength training exercises I would choose at the top 5 for runners, my goals with coaching, and what I've learned as a coach so far.

If you’re in the trail world you’ve probably heard about this article - Camille Herron, one of the best in the world, telling ultra athletes to skip the long run and not to do back to back long runs.
I have…. Lots of thoughts and feelings about this - as a coach and an athlete.
Join me as I discuss the ins and outs of the article, colored with my own thoughts and opinions.

Welcome to the first episode of the What's What with Klutz series!
This series will be just as the name says - random things that are going on in my brain at the time of recording (similar to the Friday Four on the Help Me Understand podcast with JK McLeod if you're familiar - hi JK!).
On my mind this week has been 2 main topics:
- Feeling resistance to running lately
- Seeing people focus on chasing marginal gains instead of focusing on the basics (specifically my thoughts around syncing your training to your menstrual cycle)
Enjoy!

This week on the podcast, Kelly had the pleasure of chatting with pro runner Grayson Murphy all about her training log business!
Grayson has been creating training logs + planners since 2018 and has seen her business grow and evolve over the past 4 years. Her training log + planner is now on its FIFTH edition and is finally available in some book and running stores!
Kelly and Grayson chat all about Grayson’s entrepreneurial journey, how she even got started with making a physical product, what she’s learned along the way, how she hopes her product helps runners, and so much more.
This episode is great for anyone who 1) loves Grayson, 2) is interested in becoming an entrepreneur (especially in merchandising), or 3) wants to hear about other aspects of a pro runner’s life.
Consider this your reminder as well to support small businesses like Grayson’s this holiday season and throughout the year!

Need some ideas for the runner in your life (or maybe yourself 😉)? Kelly’s gotchu. Listen along for her favorite items for runners from apparel to gear to fuel to books. Included in the spreadsheet are any discount codes that Kelly has when applicable and notes of any current sales going on (it is Black Friday tomorrow, after all).
Disclaimer: all of the items in these lists are items Kelly owns and uses. Just because she like them does not mean you will (namely the apparel and shoes), but hopefully this will help with any ideas you need. If you are listening past the week of Thanksgiving, the sales notes may or may not still apply.
Here is the spreadsheet with all the products Kelly talks about, links and her personal notes:

If you've been wanting to add strength to your training plan, this episode is for you!
In this episode, Kelly dives into more specifics about how you would build your own strength program to complement your running. As she mentioned in last episode, these 2 episodes (eps 38 and 39) are only a drop in the bucket of all of the ins and outs of strength training, but this should be a good starting point.
Kelly also answers some of the questions she received from her IG audience around the topic.
If you have more questions or more specific questions, reach out to her! She would love to chat strength training with you. (or maybe just sign up to work with her as a coach 😉)

It’s no secret that Kelly personally loves strength training and thinks it is a vital part of a training routine. There are lots of discussions within the running space about whether strength training is beneficial for running or not. In her opinion, these discussions take a very narrow focus when most of us should be thinking broader.
In this episode, Kelly dives into:
- why I think we should all be strength training
- considerations I make when adding it into training
- busting some myths.
Stay tuned for the next strength training episode with more specifics about how to incorporate strength and what to actually do in your sessions.

This week on the podcast I have a really special conversation for you. I got to talk to someone I met at the Endeavorun retreat a few weeks ago who is just a great human.
Meet Diane Miller: the “unlikely athlete”.
Diane and I chatted all about:
Her journey with running and writing (including getting back into running at 49)
Discovering her inner competitor
Her current writing projects (read her blog here)
The parallels between the two and other aspects of your life
Following your passions no matter what age you are
How she fell in love with ultras
and so much more.
Not gonna lie, I am considering signing up for a 12 hour race after this conversation with Diane so fair warning. I had goosebumps so many times editing this conversation, so get ready to hear a super relatable and inspirational story.
Enjoy this week’s conversation with Diane.

In this solo pod, Kelly talks about something that's been on her mind lately - grappling with the label of 'ultrarunner' when you've run an ultra before but aren't currently training for one. She also touches a bit on what she IS training for and what her current running goals are.

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 so much more.

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 of the most positive, supportive people I’ve ever met.
Here are some of the topics you can expect in this episode:
Embracing your inner ninja
Injecting fun and play into your running
Building the aerobic base alongside reinforcing speed
Data free days
Learning to run by feel
Training for the long term & dreaming big
The importance of having a why
Balancing scientific studies and anecdotes
Open-mindedness and flexibility in coaching
Coach-athlete relationships & being fully yourself
Dealing with negativity
Coaching a diverse range of athletes
Her pregnancy journey
This conversation was the highlight of my week, and I hope y'all enjoy this as much as we did.

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 until next week to hear the second 6. :)

This week, I have my first guest, Caitlin Holmes, on the show! Caitlin is a certified nutrition specialist who works with athletes. I worked with her in 2021 on my nutrition while I was training for my 50k and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for help with their nutrition.
We actually recorded for so long in our interview that I had to split it up into two podcast episodes. This week in part 1 we go over the basics of nutrition and how it relates to running, focusing on protein, carbs, fats, and total calories.

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. Specifically, this post said you should "definitely run a marathon first" before running an ultra.
Let's talk about the issues with this advice and how to actually know if you're ready to train for a 50k.

This episode is inspired by my newest program READY TO RUN and some questions that my friend Wendy had while reviewing the content!
Wendy was wondering if it's okay for newer runners to run on trails from the start, if trails are considered more advanced, when I would recommend running on trail vs road, how to know if a trail is technical, and the difference between surfaces for running.
