Nutritional Revolution Podcast: Recent Episodes

Kyla Channell, MSc Nutrition & Human Performance

Nutritional Revolution (NR) was created when owner Kyla Channell saw that there was a true disconnect between daily nutrition and nutrition for athletes. Specifically on when and how to use specific fueling methods to achieve optimal performance as well as health in their sport. NR believes that any one person no matter their age, weight, or current struggle can make healthy changes to improve their well being and get closer to their goals through education, motivation, support, encouragement, and the right guidance. In this podcast, we go beyond food & nutrition; we also explore the best practices for better living.

In episode #191 we delve into the science behind antioxidants, supplementation, and their impact on training adaptation with Dr. Carlene Starck. If you're an athlete, coach, or health enthusiast, understanding how to support your body's natural processes can make all the difference in performance and recovery.

KEY TOPICS

  • The role of high-dose vitamin C and E in exercise and whether they blunt or support training adaptations
  • The mechanisms of antioxidants, including direct antioxidants versus polyphenols, and their effects on oxidative stress
  • How NRF2 signaling influences antioxidant pathways and its relevance for supplementation strategies
  • Practical insights on timing, dosage, and food sources of key nutrients like vitamin C, glutathione, and amino acids
  • The potential of compounds like sulforophane from broccoli to enhance performance and recovery
  • The importance of individualized approaches to supplementation and training load management
  • Emerging research and ongoing projects in protein and amino acid metabolism

Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.

ABOUT DR. CARLENE STARCK:

Dr Carlene Starck is a protein biochemist and nutrition scientist with a PhD from Massey University and over 30 peer-reviewed publications. Her research spans protein and amino acid metabolism, dietary protein quality, and nutrient requirements across the lifespan, including landmark work on how we model and measure the body’s true metabolic demand for essential amino acids. Carlene is the founder of Starck Science, a consultancy connecting mission-led food and nutrition companies with rigorous scientific expertise. She works at the intersection of research and real-world application, translating complex protein science into practical outcomes and tools for athletes, active individuals, health care professionals, and health-focused organisations. Her Precision Protein Framework challenges conventional protein recommendations by recognizing that protein value is determined not just by how much is consumed, but by its amino acid quality, its suitability for the intended outcome, and the broader matrix of nutrients it provides. She has been an invited speaker at international nutrition and sports science symposia, and her work continues to shape how we think about protein quality standards and dietary requirements in both clinical and performance contexts.

Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.

ABOUT DANI MORENO:

Dani Moreno is a professional trail runner galloping and residing in the Eastern Sierra mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, California. She moved to the mountains at the end of 2020 from the coastal town of Santa Barbara, where she lived for a decade, having graduated from the University of Santa Barbara, California.

While at UCSB, she competed for the women's Cross Country and Track and Field programs and produced times that made her competitive on both the conference and national level. After college, she took a break from running to rediscover herself, leaning into outdoor guiding and things like climbing, spearfishing, motorcycle riding and other outdoor activities that pushed her to her physiological limits. During this phase of life, she found nothing gave her quite the same satisfaction running did. She began dabbling in trail running, which reignited her passion, and soon she was exploring the Los Padres National Forest's front range on her off days. Trail running immediately appealed to all aspects of her personality in a way that no other type of running had before. As she began to race trails, new opportunities arose and doors opened. She began traveling all over the United States and the world, feeling gratitude the whole way. That feeling hasn’t stopped since 2016, and since her debut to the sport, she has exploded on the sub-ultra and ultra scene, with an incredible number of podium and top 10 finishes, including being the top American at UTMB’s World Championship OCC race in Chamonix in August 2024, a top 5 finish at the 2024 Broken Arrow Skyrace 26k, 1st at Canyons Endurance Race, 1st at Kodiak Ultra Marathon 50k in 2023, 2nd at Mammoth Trailfest 26k in 2023, and many others.

In episode #184, we bring back pro mountain runner Adam Kimble to talk about his incredible year of racing so far, including breaking course records at Badwater Cape Fear 50k and Outlands Endurance Races 50k,winning American River 50 miler, and most recently a DNF at Cocodona 250, and the strategies he employed, dealing with injury, and lessons learned.

Key Points:

  • How to adapt training and nutrition for different race lengths and terrains.
  • The importance of race simulations
  • Managing sleep deprivation
  • The significance of course familiarity and learning from race DNFs.
  • Practical tips for hydration: fluid strategies, salt intake, and hyperhydration protocols.
  • Upcoming races and injury management

Adam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe. Most recently in 2025, Adam finished 4th overall and ran one of the Top-10 fastest times ever at the historic Badwater 135. Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.

As most trail runners we know are glued to tracking the little dots traveling across Arizona for the Cocodona 250, we thought it was a great time to revisit our conversation with one of the athletes on-course, Kilian Korth, who is also a big nutrition science nerd, like us. We talked about:

  • His unique nutritional strategies, including his shift from vegetarianism to a high-fat, low-carb diet.
  • His training regimen and recovery techniques
  • Mental strategies for overcoming challenges during races and training

Kilian Korth lives and trains in Western Colorado, spending time traversing mountain ridges and desert canyons alike. He is an ultra runner and full time coach, focusing on the 200 mile distance and other multi-day efforts. This weekend he became the Moab 240 champion AND Triple Crown Winner, setting a new record after winning the 2025 Bigfoot 200 and Tahoe 200. We chatted with Kilian about some interesting nutrition and mindset strategies he uses, as well as achieving this monumental goal. Other notable running achievements include:

  • 1st place, DC Peaks 50 Mile, 2022
  • 1st place, Mogollon Monster 100, 2024
  • 1st place, Red Rock Canyon 100K, 2024
  • 2nd place, Bigfoot 200, 2023

Ultimately he wants to evolve and strive toward longer and longer distances, eyeing some of the notable long trail FKTs in the United States and elsewhere, like the Colorado Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Appalachian trails.

What you're about to listen to is something a little different.

This is not a traditional episode — it's an edited recording of an actual one-on-one coaching check-in with my client, Sarah Sturm, a professional athlete who recently found out she was pregnant.

After getting the news, Sarah approached me with an idea: she wanted to document her experience navigating pregnancy as a competitive athlete in real time, and she wanted to share it. So over five sessions, we hit record.

With Sarah's full approval and participation, we've taken those check-ins and edited them down into a 5 part series of ~20-minute mini episodes so you can follow along with her journey as it actually unfolded — unscripted and unfiltered.

In this series, you'll hear us cover:

  • Nutrition adjustments during early pregnancy for an active athlete
  • Managing performance, energy, and body changes
  • The mental and emotional side of pregnancy as a competitor
  • Real-time problem solving between coach and client

Please note: some portions of the original recordings have been removed for time or privacy. What you're hearing is a curated but authentic look at what real coaching support looks like during one of the most significant transitions an athlete can go through.

Thank you to Sarah for her openness and trust in sharing this with our community. 🤍

In episode #177 we spoke with ultrarunner Adrian MacDonald about practical insights on altitude adaptation, fueling strategies, injury prevention, and mental prep for ultrarunning. In this episode:

  • How he conquered Leadville, twice
  • Fueling strategies: carbs, hydration, gut training
  • The importance of PT exercises, injury management, and recovery routines

Adrian began running competitively as a sophomore in high school in Massachusetts in 2004 and quickly developed a love for all forms of the sport. After moving to Fort Collins, Colorado in the fall of 2016, he discovered a deep passion for running in the mountains. That passion fully took shape when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 Boston Marathon, prompting a shift in his training toward mountain, trail, and ultrarunning.

With a new focus, Adrian set his sights on the 2021 Leadville Trail 100. Years of experience and key moments along his running journey suggested success was possible, and those expectations were realized as he earned the 5th fastest time in the race’s history at that time. Training for Leadville marked one of the most meaningful periods of his life, deepening his love for the outdoors and the trail running community.

Beyond personal competition, Adrian is committed to giving back to the running community, serving on the board of the Fort Collins Running Club, volunteering at local races, and coaching fellow athletes.

In episode #175 we discover how one of the world's top ultrarunners, Manuela Vilaseca, trains, fuels, and recovers for back-to-back 200-mile races. She shares her secrets on managing nutrition in ultra-distance events, strategies for mental resilience, and balancing a busy coaching career with endurance pursuits

  • Breaking the Triple Crown 200 series record in 2025, and managing mental focus as a full-time business owner and coach
  • Nutrition strategies: real food vs sports nutrition
  • Overcoming GI issues
  • Hydration management: balancing salt intake and managing sweat loss

In episode #174 we discussed Dr. Jose Areta's latest research, including:

  • How energy deficits influence muscle protein synthesis and quality
  • The role of mitochondrial proteins and their upregulation during energy restriction
  • Practical implications for timing and periodization of caloric deficits in training cycles
  • Hormonal signals and their interaction with muscle adaptation during energy deficits

Associate Professor Dr. José L. Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José’s work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.

In episode #158 we talk with runner and gravel cyclist Anna Gibson about:

  • Her approach to fueling and hydration in training and races
  • Heat training and adaptation
  • Supplement strategies and lab testing to determine biomarkers

Anna Gibson was raised on the edge of Grand Teton National Park. What’s now considered“training” began simply as time in the mountains with family and friends, doing what she loved. Originally aspiring to become a pro ski racer, Anna was a competitive runner and nordic ski racer in high school. Her ski racing career culminated with an individual title at the cross-country skiing Junior National Championships in 2017, but she went on to pursue running at the University of Washington, where she competed in the Pac-12 while earning her undergraduate degree and Masters. There she anchored her team’s Distance Medley Relay to a new NCAA record, but she spent her summers trail racing, with a few notable performances. After a 4th place finish at her 1st Mountain Running World Cup in France, and wins in both the VK and 11k at The Rut, she put competing internationally in trail running on her radar. She still loves to explore on her bike, and spend winters skinning up mountains.

Anna now competes in track/road and trail events for Brooks, but still prioritizes her other outdoor pursuits, billing herself as an “all-types-of-running-plus-some-other-sports athlete. She continues to achieve notable results on the trail, most recently coming in 3rd at the Trail Running World Champs and 10th in the Golden Trail Series Final, as well as 3rd at the 2025 Broken Arrow Skyrace 23k, 1st in the 2025 Broken Arrow Ascent, and 1st Overall in the Sunapee Scramble. She also recently took 10th at the 2025 SBT GRVL.

In episode #149 we chat with Kiwi gravel cyclist Cam Jones - the 2025 Unbound 200 Champ - about:

  • Insights gathered from his winning performance at Unbound 200 race, including an incredible carbs/hour ratio, and how he achieved that
  • How Unbound differs from races like Leadville
  • How he has trained to eat real food, as well as make his own drink mixes for efficiency and cost

At 24 years old, Cameron Jones is a rising force in the world of endurance cycling. Hailing from Nelson, New Zealand, Cameron began his career in cross-country Olympic racing, building the engine and foundation that has been powering him through some of the toughest gravel and endurance races in the world in only his second season of racing in the US.

We talked with Cameron about what some consider his breakout moment during a hard-fought win at Unbound, securing him a coveted spot in the Life Time Grand Prix for the remainder of the 2025 series.

In this episode we talk with ultra endurance swimmer Catherine Breed about:

  • Her recent feat of becoming the 1st person to swim the Tahoe Water Trail consecutively (60 miles), and how she navigates nutrition and hydration in and out of the water
  • Her upcoming adventure - Swim California - where she'll tackle swimming the entire coastline of California
  • What she does out of the water to stay fit, and what strategies she employs to be successful in the water
  • Starting Sea Dreamers to open doors for women to get involved in ocean activities through community, inclusivity, empowerment and education surrounding ocean conservation.

Catherine Breed is an ultra endurance athlete and waterwoman, who began marathon swimming in 2017. She was always drawn to the water, and her passion has led her to travel all over the world to explore new events and adventures, including her incredible recent feat of becoming the first person to consecutively swim the 72-mile Lake Tahoe Water Trail in 2025. She is now training on a massive endeavor to swim the entire coastline of California with her Swim California 2026 endeavor. An adventure that she estimates will take her 3 to 4 months.

Catherine swam for UC Berkeley, where she was part of a 2x NCAA championship team, and the US National Team before transitioning out of the pool to join the Dolphin Club after college. The Dolphin Club introduced her to cold water, long distances and a strong sense of community. It was there she started coming up with her big goals, and where she began really pushing the limits of endurance swimming. She holds records for women in swimming the length of Lake Tahoe, Apache Lake, Roosevelt Lake, as well as overall records of the Monterey Bay Swim, Round Trip Angel Island, and was the first to swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to Half Moon Bay. She is also a 2x Pan American Gold Medalist.

She is passionate about the sport of swimming, and about making it accessible to everyone. She also has a strong connection to protecting the ocean and its creatures, and works to bring awareness and funds to organizations that align with her goals.

In this episode we talk with ultrarunner Adam Kimble about:

  • We explore Adam Kimble’s epic performance at Badwater 135—one of the world’s toughest ultramarathons.
  • Gain insights into his heat acclimatization, race-day nutrition, and mental strategies for peak performance.
  • Crew love: the difficulties and importance of a crew during an ultra

Adam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe. Most recently in 2025, Adam finished 4th overall and ran one of the Top-10 fastest times ever at the historic Badwater 135. Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.

In this episode we talk with researcher Myrthe Stalmans about:

  • Ketones - do they have any effect on performance and recovery at altitude?
  • Will ketones affect sleep at altitude?
  • Ketones as fuel? The research doesn't look promising ... dive into what the science says.
  • Ketones for recovery does NOT mean ketogenic diet

After graduating as a Master's in Bioscience Engineering at the KU Leuven, with a specialization in Human Nutrition and Health, our next guest Myrthe Stalmans performed a postgraduate program in Health Care at HOWEST and shortly worked as a junior consultant. Thereafter, she started a PhD in the Exercise Physiology Research Group at the KU Leuven. During her PhD, which she is currently finalizing, she investigates the role of ketone supplements in physiological adaptation to exercise and hypoxia.

In this episode we talk with cyclist Anders Johnson about:

  • Transitioning from mountain bike to track
  • How physics plays into racing and nutrition
  • How proper fueling and sleep aids in recovery

Our next guest, cyclist Anders Johnson, grew up in the mountains of Northern Utah and currently lives in San Luis Obispo (SLO), California. He fell in love with SLO while attending Cal Poly where he earned a Bachelors of Science in Physics, and a minor in mathematics. Growing up, he played many sports, but mountain biking quickly became his primary passion, leading him to compete internationally as a junior and beyond. In 2022, he discovered track cycling and dove headfirst into the sport, qualifying for his first World Championships just months after he started. Since then, he’s competed on three World Championship teams, earned 8 elite national track titles, and secured 4 Pan American track titles.

Outside of his own racing, he also coaches cyclists of all ages and abilities. When he’s not thinking about bikes, he works as a Project Manager at Stanford School of Medicine, where he contributes to various projects focused on population health and elite athletes.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Tracee Metcalfe about:

  • Being the medical doctor on summit teams on Everest and other expeditions
  • Her own journey into mountaineering and climbing the highest peaks
  • The difficulties of navigating nutrition and hydration in extreme conditions

Dr. Tracee Metcalfe is a distinguished internal medicine physician and an accomplished high-altitude mountaineer. She has achieved the extraordinary feat of summiting all fourteen of the world’s peaks exceeding 8,000 meters, including Annapurna, K2, and Nanga Parbat. Born in Southern California, her passion for climbing was sparked after moving to Colorado, where she immersed herself in the state’s renowned 14,000-foot peaks.

Her medical career became intertwined with her love for the mountains during her time with the National Park Service on Denali, Alaska, where she provided medical assistance and participated in rescue operations. This experience paved the way for her role as an expedition doctor on major Himalayan peaks such as Manaslu, Everest, Makalu, and Cho Oyu.

Dr. Metcalfe is known for sharing insights into overcoming personal challenges and empowering women through mountaineering-based leadership training and community service. Her journey highlights the intersections of medicine, mountaineering, and mentorship, and she has made significant contributions to both the medical field and the climbing community

In this episode we talk with ultrarunner and UltrAspire athlete manager Ricky Urias about:

  • Competing at a high level, despite not being pro
  • How he approaches nutrition with real food options

UltrAspire Athlete Manager, Ricky Urias,may not be a pro athlete, but he’s proven he's a force to be reckoned with on the trails. He started trail running for the pure joy and feeling of freedom he feels, but that joy also landed him most recently in the Top 10 at Zion 100 miler. He considers himself just an average guy trying to live life above average. He’s been married for 21 years to his wife Chele, and has 3 kids and one grandson. After spending most of his life doing blue collar jobs, in 2024 he decided he wanted to take a new path, and was hired on by UltrAspire part-time before becoming the company’s athlete manager.

In this episode we talk with cyclist Brendan Johnston about:

  • Translating mountain biking skills to the gravel world
  • His approach to fueling now vs when he started
  • Gut training, fueling during races and how he prioritizes recovery, especially as he headed into Unbound, and how that race is different

Brendan "Trekky" Johnston is one of Australia's most accomplished and versatile cyclists, excelling across mountain biking, gravel racing, and road cycling. A cornerstone of the Giant Australia Off-Road Team, Johnston has captured 6 Australian Cross-Country Marathon (XCM) National Championships and swept the prestigious Triple Crown MTB stage races—Port to Port, Reef to Reef, and Cape to Cape. He's also a former winner of the Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic and a consistent contender at national-level road races.

In 2023, Johnston took his talents to North America to compete in the high-profile Life Time Grand Prix gravel series. He earned podium finishes at Big Sugar Gravel and The Rad Dirt Fest, ultimately placing 7th overall. In 2024, he returned, finishing 4th overall in the series—his best result yet—and notching another podium at Big Sugar Gravel.

Back on home soil, Johnston continues to dominate Australia's gravel scene, with wins at UCI Gravel World Series events like Gravelista and SEVEN. His consistent performances have made him one of the top gravel riders globally.

Beyond racing, Johnston is a proud father to a 5yo daughter—a central part of his life and motivation. Whether training, traveling, or racing, Brendan is driven not only by competition, but by being a positive role model for his daughter and a grounded presence in her life.

Also cancer survivor, Johnston marked 10 years in remission in 2019.

Now based in Canberra, Australia, Johnston continues to push boundaries, balancing elite competition with fatherhood and a deep love for the off-road cycling community.

In this episode we talk with pro triathlete Meg Dirito about:

  • What a training day of a pro triathlete looks like
  • Prepping for a race
  • Race day nutrition

Meg Dirito is a pro triathlete, Division 1 elite swimmer, mom, wife, and emergency veterinarian. She's been an athlete since she was a child, going from dancer to elite level gymnast, swimmer, then on to field hockey, and track. She was recruited by D1 schools for the latter three, but ultimately chose her first love, swimming, attending Bucknell University.

There, she set meet, league and school records that had stood for more than 10 years. She qualified for NCAAs and Olympic Trials and was inducted into the Bucknell Sports Hall of Fame. It wasn’t until 2018 that she picked up a bike to race, and had her husband - who was a cyclist at North Carolina State University - teach her how to ride. After a self-taught first year, she qualified for Worlds 70.3, then started to train for the full distance. As an age grouper, she qualified for 5 world championships, including Kona, and took her professional license in 2023. Aside from triathlon, she races masters swimming in pool and open water, and also competes in marathon distances.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Austin Hogwood about:

  • Nitrate/Nitric Oxide - aka beetroot juice - supplementation
  • What his research found about sex difference in supplementation, and in pre- and postmenopausal women
  • Bonus info about how sitting affects your heart health

Dr. Austin Hogwood is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Virginia's Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center, where he focuses on cardiovascular exercise physiology. He earned his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from the University of Virginia. Dr. Hogwood's PhD research explored the effects of inorganic nitrate supplementation, both alone and in combination with exercise, on exercise performance and vascular health. He has investigated how these factors influence exercise across sex, across the menstrual cycle, and alongside exercise training. He has also studied how vascular function may be altered by inorganic nitrate supplementation with exercise in postmenopausal women. When not in the lab, Austin enjoys lifting weights and playing soccer, and spending time with his wife and his dog.

In this episode we talk with Isabel "Iz" King about:

  • Being newly pregnant as an endurance athlete, and how that affects nutrition
  • Mental willpower through long bike races and injury

Isabel “Iz” King is a professional off-road cyclist from California who likes to push herself to new limits on the bike, while inspiring others to attack challenges with a smile. She didn’t take a traditional path to becoming a professional off-road cyclist. Iz began her athletic career at Columbia University, playing D1 soccer, where she finished as the team’s captain, first-time all-Ivy League honors and she earned the Ali Ahern MVP award. Despite those accolades and the momentum she built, she traded in her cleats for the world of finance post undergrad. She did find her way back, though. She discovered the world of endurance sport through triathlon while attending business school at UCLA Anderson. She eventually qualified to compete as a pro triathlete during her third 70.3 Ironman. The lure of cycling was too strong, and Isabel tabled her plans for post-grad work to pursue triathlon. However in 2020, she was inspired by the world’s events to reimagine her athletic career, putting her training to good use to raise money for UCLA healthcare workers. She also partnered with Reggie Miller to speak out against social justice during this time.

These days, Iz is back on the trails, and you can spot her in her signature orange kits—training hard on the roads of California and lining up for the LifeTime Grand Prix gravel and mountain bike races—always with a big smile on her face, proving that fast is fun and friendly.

One of the top questions we get from athletes and clients surrounds creatine supplementation, so we wanted to revisit this super informative episode with researcher, coach and athlete Sam Moore, about creatine usage, especially as it relates to female athletes.

We spoke with Sam about:

  • How the menstrual cycle affects creatine supplementation
  • How creatine benefits fluid distribution
  • Why menstruators should supplement with creatine

Sam Moore is an applied sport scientist and Human Movement Science Doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Medicine, researching endocrinological topics of applied female athlete sport science. As the first woman to serve as a Director of Sport Science in the NCAA, Sam implemented a revolutionary and evidence informed framework of women’s specific training design based on the hormonal landscape of the Wolfpack female athletes. Sam has presented at major international conferences on topics ranging from metabolic and performance effects of female sex hormones to bigger pictures issues of equity and social justice for women and gender diverse athletes.

Sam completed her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and Human Biology from Western Oregon University and her master’s degree in Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention from California University of Pennsylvania. Prior to Carolina, Sam was with the NC State Wolfpack from 2019-2021 as the Director of Sport Science and Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach.

After two season ending knee surgeries during her dual sport collegiate athletic career, Moore was drawn to the starkly different experience entering the “real-world” as a former female athlete compared to her male counterparts. This was the inception of what would later establish her as the topic expert in the field of female athlete physiology in the pursuit of gender equity in collegiate women’s sports.

In this episode we talk with Tara Dower about:

  • Nutrition before, during and post FKTs vs Ultramarathons
  • How working with a nutritionist can take the guesswork out of race prep

Tara Dower is a professional ultrarunner, who you probably also know for crushing the overall FKT on the Appalachian Trail in late 2024. Next up for Tara in 2025 is the iconic Western States 100 as a result of her Golden Ticket 2nd place performance at Black Canyon 100k. Tara also recently signed a record-breaking deal with Altra, a stunning example of her incredible rise in the sport. Tara has an incredible list of results and accolades, and says her favorite distance to tackle is the 100 miler, because it presents so many possibilities for adventure, but she’s no stranger to setting FKTs, with records on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Benton MacKaye Trail and the Colorado Trail.

In this episode we talk with pro trail runner and SubHub Podcast co-host, Dani Moreno about:

  • How a running break between college and her pro career helped reignite her passion for running
  • Her nutrition strategies, and how they've changed as she's evolved as a runner, including through an eating disorder in her youth
  • Her love and gratitude for sport

Dani Moreno is a pro trail runner residing in the Eastern Sierra mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, CA. She moved to the mountains at the end of 2020 from the coastal town of Santa Barbara, where she lived for a decade. While at UC Santa Barbara, she competed for the women's Cross Country and Track and Field programs, producing times that made her competitive on the conference and national level. After college, she took a break from running to rediscover herself, leaning into outdoor guiding and things like climbing, spearfishing, motorcycle riding and other activities that pushed her to her physiological limits. She found nothing gave her quite the same satisfaction as running and began dabbling in trail running, which reignited her passion. Soon she was exploring the Los Padres National Forest's front range on her off days. Trail running immediately appealed to all aspects of her personality in a way that no other type of running had before. As she began to race trails, new opportunities arose and doors opened. She began traveling all over the world, feeling gratitude the whole way. That feeling hasn’t quit since 2016. Since her debut to the sport, she has exploded on the sub-ultra and ultra scene, with an incredible number of podium and top 10 finishes, including being the top American at UTMB’s World Championship OCC race in Chamonix in August 2024, a top 5 finish at the 2024 Broken Arrow Skyrace 26k, 1st at Canyons Endurance Race, 1st at Kodiak Ultra Marathon 50k in 2023, 2nd at Mammoth Trailfest 26k in 2023, and many others.

In this episode we talk with big mountain skier (and gravel/mountain/road cyclist, runner, physical trainer):

  • The evolution of nutrition on long days in the mountains
  • Getting into gravel cycling
  • His approach to eating enough to fuel adventures
  • Why strength is important for all athletes

John Collinson grew up on the hill at Snowbird Ski Resort with his sister, Angel. Their dad worked in the snow safety department, so the pair was skiing and understanding the mountains from a very young age. John’s mom homeschooled them in winter, allowing them to spend more time on skis. At 17, John won the Junior Freeskiing World tour, and the same year became the youngest person to climb the seven summits: the highest peak on each continent, and he did it in a year. After that he knew skiing had to be a part of his life, and kept competing on the Freeskiing circuit, as well as started a career filming with Sherpas Cinema. He then started filming with Teton Gravity Research & Matchstick Productions. From 2018-2022, John had a string of knee injuries, which led him down a road of discovery and learning about the human body. Showing his recoveries online inspired a new tangent to his career, offering online workout programs, as well as working as an in-person physical trainer. He’s found another passion in helping people move and feel better through exercise.

Over the holidays, we're bringing back our top 5 episodes of 2024, that we think deserve another listen. One of our most downloaded this year was our chat with professional cyclist Anna Yamauchi about her first season on the Grand Prix, navigating a Celiac diagnosis, and what excites her about her sport. Anna is such an exciting athlete to watch for 2025! We'll be back January 7 with all new episodes!

Growing up in the mountains of Truckee, CA, time in the outdoors has always been central to Anna’s life. As a former competitive skier, Anna also dabbled in multiple sports, playing 8 varsity highschool sports. Amongst all this, bikes have always been a part of Anna's life. In highschool she participated in a year of NICA racing, and would often ride bikes with family. But It wasn't really until the fall of 2021, with COVID lockdown and a long bike packing trip, that Anna began gravitating toward racing. In just a few years she's climbed the ranks of the pro field and is now a full time racer participating in the Lifetime Grand Prix and other Marathon MTB and gravel races.

Lucy has so many nuggets that we think all athletes can benefit from. We'll be back January 7 with all new episodes!

Lucy Bartholomew is a 27-year-old ultra trail runner from Melbourne, Australia. She is a part of the Salomon global running team, along with support from Coros, Spring Energy and Julbo. Lucy ran her first 100km at 15 alongside her Dad, who encouraged her and shared the path less trodden. Lucy now travels the world to race but, more importantly, to share stories, connect with communities and show online that there are highs and lows in chasing something passionately.

We’re back with professional adventurer Sunny Stroeer, who recently made an attempt on the self-supported FKT of the Arizona Trail. Although Sunny decided to cut the feat short after over 200 miles and one week, while on record pace, the nutrition strategy she employed was successful in that time, and one that surprised her as we worked together. In today’s podcast, we discuss how the miles went, what went right, what she might change for the future, and what her takeaways were.

More about Sunny: Sunny Stroeer is a free spirit and adventurer and we had the pleasure of working with Sunny as she prepared for this massive feat of endurance. Her overarching passion is to be active and push her limits in the side- and backcountry, spanning a multitude of sports from big-wall climbs over multi-day paddling trips to 100 milers and everything in between. Her specialty is the high altitude endurance realm; she holds speed records on Aconcagua and on the Annapurna Circuit and has excelled on high trails in the Colorado Rockies. As a storyteller, Sunny draws on her experiences and adventures as a professional mountain athlete to connect with her audience through captivating visuals and engaging presentations, focusing on topics like transformation, goal setting, perseverance, women empowerment and systematic decision-making in high risk environments.

In this week's episode we talk to Leadville 100 MTB Winner, Melisa Rollins about:

  • How journey into mountain biking (hint: her parents are badass!)
  • Her fueling and hydration strategy for Leadville 2024 (and how that has evolved)
  • Shifting racing strategies to build more momentum and inspiration

Melisa Rollins is a professional cyclist who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. She started cycling casually in 2016 when she signed up for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB on a whim— a race her parents had been racing every year for nearly 2 decades. Crossing the finish line in Leadville that year lit a fire in her, and she went back almost every year with the simple goal of being faster than her previous self. In 2021 her result at Leadville led her to her first pro-contract with Team Twenty24. Here, she had the opportunity to become a more well-rounded bike racer and race many disciplines: road, gravel, mountain bike, time trial, and criteriums. She learned she loves racing just about any discipline on two wheels, and is always eager to spread positivity on the bike.

In this week's episode we talk to recent Cocodona 250 and Tahoe 200 winner (and mountaineer and environmental scientist), Haroldas Subertas about:

  • How he uses real food in his 200+ mile efforts
  • How he trains to run FOUR 200 mile races in a year
  • Struggles you face during 200+ miles

Harry Subertas is an ultrarunner, mountaineer, and environmental scientist. He was born and raised in Lithuania and moved to the US just before his 18th birthday. After working a handful of jobs and taking some classes at a local community college in New Jersey, he moved to Southeast Alaska and enrolled in a semester-long mountaineering course. He was offered a guiding position immediately after completing the course, and continued his professional guiding career for seven years. He has summited some of the world’s most notorious mountains including Denali and Aconcagua. In 2021, he went back to school at the University of Southeast Alaska, Juneau, and earned his degree in environmental science. Harry is also an avid backcountry skier and ice climber.

He has a diverse skillset within ultrarunning, having set course records in the last year at the Cocodona 250 in Flagstaff, AZ, and the Marlette 50k in Lake Tahoe. He has won three other 200 milers, three 100 milers, and run up countless 14ers in his spare time. At multi-day races, he is known for crossing the finish line and then volunteering at aid stations for the remainder of the race. Since the summer of 2023, he has lived in South Lake Tahoe, CA and Reno, NV with his partner, whom he met while volunteering at an aid station at the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Run.

Sunny is a free spirit and adventurer. During her 20s, she was a hard-charging Harvard MBA strategy consultant, but at age 30, she turned her back on material possessions and her career in order to live in an Astrovan so she could run and climb full-time instead.

Her overarching passion is to be active and push her limits in the side- and backcountry, spanning a multitude of sports from big-wall climbs over multi-day paddling trips, to 100 milers, and everything in between. Her specialty is the high altitude endurance realm; she holds speed records on Aconcagua and on the Annapurna Circuit and has excelled on high trails in the Colorado Rockies. She most recently completed the Iditarod on skis.

Sunny and her husband Paul (and husky Dasher) live in Southern Utan and run a hiking and backcountry guide service, and she also founded and runs a mountaineering expedition company for women, by women. She also serves as the executive director for the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation, which works to increase gender equity on and off the mountains.

Not Mentioned, But Worth Mentioning:

  • After we stopped recording, Sunny mentioned during the ITI, she tried to eat every 3 miles. When she missed resupplies and had to ration to every 4 miles, she said, "When I tried every 4 miles, it just didn't work. I hit the wall, and it wasn't just on the physical level. I could feel my mental state going down because I didn't get in enough carbs. Prior to this, I hadn't see the correlation quite so directly. When I fueled every 3 miles, things were good. Every four miles, my mental state declined and I would think that I needed to drop."

In this week's episode we talk to mountain bikers / bikepacking experts Kait Boyle and Kurt Refsnider about their epic adventure riding from their doorsteps to Emporia, Kansas, for Unbound XL.

Kait Boyle discovered the mountain bike amidst a career in outdoor education and quickly fell in love with bikepacking, which dominoed into pursuing long bikepacking expeditions around the world. She went on to win a 24-hr World Championship, set records in self-supported ultras, including being the 2x winner at the Arizona Trail 300. She survived and overcame a traumatic car accident, which ultimately led her to where she is now - a passionate and dedicated backcountry mountain biker who rides to go deeper, connect to place and people, and expand her limits.

She co-founded Bikepacking Roots with co-guest Kurt Refsnider, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to bikepacking. She serves on the board of Mountain Bike the Tetons and is one of the first Protect Our Winter Bike Athlete Alliance members.

Kurt Refsnider is a (also the) co-founder of and Routes Director at Bikepacking Roots, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the growing bikepacking community. Kurt holds a Ph.D. in geological sciences and was a professor of geology at Prescott College for 6 years and coached the Prescott College Cycling Team for 3 years. There he also co-developed the first college-level course to involve bikepacking – Geology through Bikepacking. He's won the Tour Divide, and has 8 wins/records at the Arizona Trail 300, and most recently at taping he snagged a Top 10 finish at Unbound XL after riding more than 1,000 miles from his home in Arizona to Emporia.

In this week's episode we talk to triathlon coach, Chris Bagg, about:

  • How to effectively train for Ironman (full and 70.3)
  • What you should be doing to qualify for Ironman World Champs

Chris Bagg has been an athlete his whole life, ever since he dangled from the outside of an escalator in the Boston Museum of Science at age five. Chris played soccer through college, standing in one place as a goalkeeper, and then, after moving to Washington D.C., he discovered he had an aptitude for endurance, rather than ball sports. Since then he’s been a runner, a triathlete, a cyclist, and a cross-country skier, all at a high level. He raced professionally and semi-professionally as a triathlete and cyclist for 15 years, respectively, posting career results of 4th at Ironman Canada in 2011, 2nd at Challenge Penticton in 2014, 13th (and top American) at the great Challenge Roth in 2017, 12th at the ITU Long Distance World Championships in 2017, and 22nd at Unbound Gravel in 2019. He started coaching endurance sports in 2009, but with his background as a teacher, he’s been a coach for most of his life. He happily describes his job now as “a gym teacher for adults.”

As the founder of Campfire Endurance Coaching, Chris aims to provide all athletes, regardless of level or genetic gift, with the kind of training that professional athletes receive: consistent and thoughtful communication, programs tailored to their goals and lives, and a wide perspective that encompasses the athlete’s entire career. He believes that endurance sport, through its unique flavor of adversity, can make athletes faster, happier, and healthier, and he wants that for all of you.

In this week's episode we talk to runner and Naval Office, Paul Johnson about:

  • The logistics of running across the United States
  • Raising money for Team Red, White and Blue
  • Fueling for 3,000 miles in 52 days (and change)

In 2018 Naval Officer Paul Johnson went on his first deployment overseas to Spain. While it led to amazing opportunities, it was a difficult tour that weighed heavily on him and his fellow Sailors. His next duty station took him to San Diego in 2021, and once removed from the constant stressful environment of his first deployment, he began noticing the issues he had been dealing with, like persistent sleep issues, anxiety, and depression. He had been using alcohol as a coping mechanism, but his narrative began shifting in 2022, when a Marine friend asked Paul to train and run the Marine Corps Marathon. He trained for months, and they both ended up finishing the marathon in under 3 hours, and receiving their Boston Qualifier. During this time, he realized how much running helped him cope with the anxiety/depression symptoms he was experiencing. In January 2023, with a move to the East Coast, he started a run streak. This quickly evolved into entering the ultra scene, running 100 mile races by April 2023. Running was his therapy, and he found release and escape in a positive way. This year (2024), he tackled the TransCon, running 3,000 miles from California to New York to raise awareness & funds for mental health issues facing veterans through Team Red White and Blue, which exists to enrich the lives of veterans by providing opportunities to build a healthier lifestyle.

In this week's episode we talk to ultra bike packing with 2023 Tour Divide winner Ulrich Bartholmoes:

  • How he got into ultra bike packing and long distance racing
  • Approaches to fueling & training for multi-week and multi-day adventures
  • His upcoming Triple Crown attempt
  • The realities of two weeks on the trail
  • Sweat testing and research and how this helps his efforts

Ulrich Bartholmoes, also called "uba," is 37 years old and lives in Girona, Spain and Munich, Germany. He started racing Grand-Fondo-like events in 2014 and discovered that the longer the races are, the more elevation gain they have and the harder they are, the more he liked them. In 2018 he came 4th on the Tour du Mont Blanc in France. Researching even longer races, he discovered bike packing and the world of unsupported ultra races.

Since he entered his first unsupported race – the Transpyrenees – in 2019 he finished 21 ultra long distance events with something between 700 and 4,300 kilometers nonstop. Ulrich is the overall winner of 16 ultracycling races and record holder for the fastest known time on several routes. Ulrich achieved his greatest success in summer 2023, winning the 4,300-kilometer mountain bike race “Tour Divide“ from Canada to the Mexican border of the USA in the second-fastest time ever recorded under extremely challenging conditions with rain, heavy mud, and intense heat towards the end of the race.

In this week's episode we talk to German pro gravel rider, Carolin Schiff, about:

  • Her epic Unbound 2023 win
  • How she got into the gravel scene from triathlon, road cycling & cyclo-cross
  • How she fuels for races
  • What's up next for 2024!

German bike shop owner Carolin Schiff exploded on the US gravel scene in 2023 when she won the Unbound. But she was no stranger to the bike. With a background in triathlon, road biking and cyclo-cross, Carolin enjoyed a successful career in Europe on the road, but it was in 2023 that she joined the Canyon gravel team, and started the season with a massive win at the UCI Gravel World Series in Spain, followed by taking the top spot at the Traka 200, and then taking 2nd at the UCI Gravel World Series. Then she came to the States with a win at Gravel Locos in Texas before heading to Unbound. As the season starts for 2024, Carolin looks forward to taking on several races in Europe and the States, and defending her title at Unbound Gravel.

In this week's episode we talk to American pro cyclist, Anna Yamauchi, about:

  • Her first season on the Grand Prix
  • Her recent Celiac diagnosis and how she's managing
  • What's exciting for the 2024 Life Time Grand Prix season

Growing up in the mountains of Truckee, CA, time in the outdoors has always been central to Anna’s life. As a former competitive skier, Anna also dabbled in multiple sports, playing 8 varsity highschool sports. Amongst all this, bikes have always been a part of Anna's life. In highschool she participated in a year of NICA racing, and would often ride bikes with family. But It wasn't really until the fall of 2021, with COVID lockdown and a long bike packing trip, that Anna began gravitating toward racing. In just a few years she's climbed the ranks of the pro field and is now a full time racer participating in the Lifetime Grand Prix and other Marathon MTB and gravel races.

Happy New Year! We'll be back next week with a brand new episode, but during our break we wanted to bring back a few of our most downloaded episodes of 2023, that we think deserve another listen. On this episode with Dr. Darren Candow, we talk all about creatine - the myths, the facts, and how all types of athletes can benefit from it - from endurance athletes to the everyday gym buff. We also go into its benefits for our brain and our bones, as well as how pregnant women and women who are post-menopausal should use it. We hope you learn tons from this episode - and don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need more help navigating supplementation in the new year!

Dr. Darren Candow, PhD, CSEP-CEP, is Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, Canada. The overall objectives of Dr. Candow’s research program are to develop effective lifestyle interventions involving nutrition (primarily creatine monohydrate) and physical activity (resistance training) which have practical and clinical relevance for improving musculoskeletal aging and reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Dr. Candow has published over 100 peer-refereed journal manuscripts, supervised over 20 MSc and PhD students and received research funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, and the Nutricia Research Foundation. In addition, Dr. Candow serves on the editorial review boards for the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, Nutrients and Frontiers.

We hope everyone is having a happy and healthy holiday season. While we're on holiday break, we're bringing back a few of our top episodes of 2023, and this episode with pro cyclist Alexey Vermuelen is one of our favorites. We talked all about his nutrition experience and evolution, mistakes he learns from - so you don't have to - and training with the fastest cycling dog, Sir Willie the Weiner. Enjoy this episode!

Alexey Vermeulen is an American cyclist who grew up racing on the road after getting into the sport through kids triathlon and inspiration from his grandfather (Opa). After spending two years in the World Tour with Jumbo Visma, Alexey pivoted towards the dirt (gravel & MTB) believing that the sponsorship model in professional cycling was flawed and that he could make a bigger impact where the barrier for entry was lower. Vermeulen has become famous on the circuit for training with Sir Willie the Weiner, a long-haired miniature dachshund that he carries in a backpack while riding. Recent results include winning BWR California, and Iceman Cometh in 2022.

As the holidays approach, we're taking a short break from recording, but we're bringing back our top 3 episodes of 2023, that we think deserve another listen. One of our most downloaded this year was with Dr. Stacy Sims. We tackled a ton of super important topics that we hear a lot about - like fasting, keto diets, perimenopause /menopause, women's health issues, training and more - according to what the research says. There's so much to unpack here and we found it totally fascinating!

Dr. Stacy Sims is a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who is striving to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. Along with her own business, she is currently the Senior Research Associate with SPRINZ- AUT University, supervising PhD students and writing academic papers. She is on the advisory board of several cutting edge companies, including Tonal Strength Institute, WILD.AI, and EXOS. Previously, she has directed research programs at Stanford and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance.

During her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. She has been featured on a now-famous TEDx Talk, and her contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry has established a new niche in sports nutrition. She’s been named as a top visionary in several publications, including DMSE Sports, Outside Magazine and Triathlete Magazine and has written more than 70 peer reviewed papers, several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those by the USOC and USA Cycling.

In this week's episode we talk to researcher Jamie Whitfield, who studies muscle metabolism, about:

  • Connecting exercise physiology with nutrition
  • High carb vs high fat - what the research says for athletes
  • Urolithin A (from polyphenols): how this supplement can support training or recovery
  • Beet root supplementation in athletes

Jamie Whitfield earned his PhD in exercise physiology and muscle metabolism from the University of Guelph (Canada) and is now a Research Fellow in the Exercise and Nutrition Research Program at Australian Catholic University (Melbourne, Australia). His research utilises a variety of research models to gain a better understanding of how nutrient availability alters skeletal muscle metabolism, and whether it can promote or inhibit training adaptation and, ultimately, human performance. He is currently a member of the editorial board for the American College of Sports Medicine’s flagship journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise and is an Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) Accredited Sport Scientist (ASpS2).

In this week's episode - #90! - we talk to gravel and mountain biker - and The Adventure Stache podcast host - Payson McElveen about

  • Making FKT attempts
  • How he got into mountain biking & gravel riding
  • How he fuels for training, racing and in the off-season

Born and raised outside Austin, Tex., Payson McElveen relocated to Durango, CO in 2012 to pursue Exercise Science at collegiate cycling powerhouse Fort Lewis College as well as his dream of becoming a professional mountain biker. Following graduation in 2016, his career began to take off, but not necessarily in the manner he'd expected. Rather than pursue the traditional route of XC that involves World Cup racing and Olympic aspirations, he gravitated towards longer events after a career-altering experience at the 6-day Mongolia Bike Challenge. A year later, he won his first professional national title at the 2017 Marathon Mountain Bike Championships, and a second title in 2018, successes that helped land dream sponsor Red Bull. This further spurred a commitment to longer events which were exploding in popularity at the time. Now splitting his time between off-road endurance disciplines and a focus on the Lifetime Grand Prix, Payson has continued to enjoy success at the biggest gravel events in the world, including three wins at The Mid-South, and podium finishes at the Leadville 100, Unbound 200, SBT GRVL and more. While his athletic achievements are notable, Payson strives to have a multi-faceted impact on the sport. Through his popular “The Adventure Stache” podcast, films, and innovative physical challenges such as FKTs and a first single push crossing of Iceland, he hopes to inspire riders to think about the sport in new ways. While racing remains his first and greatest love on the bike, he hopes to have an impact that extends far beyond the finish line.

In this week's episode, we talk to gravel rider Hannah Shell

  • Becoming a dirt convert - getting into gravel racing post running injury
  • How she fuels on race day
  • How she fuels while training
  • How she spends her off-season

Simply put, Colorado-based Hannah Shell likes to do hard things. She finds life gets easier when she dedicates time and work to every corner of her life. Cycling, on the other hand, requires more than that. For Hannah, she credits the combination of strategy, luck and the art of riding to success. The faster you ride, the harder it gets. She doesn't consider herself a natural talent on the bike, so she commits to putting in hard work to compete, while loving the humble and hardworking attitude cycling requires. Because success doesn't come easily to anyone in this sport, she finds that she learns more about herself and life in general as she navigates the ups and downs of competitive racing.

In this week's episode, we talk to runner Rachael Norfleet about:

  • Her transition from swimming to triathlon world champs and eventually to trail running & ultramarathons
  • Battling an auto-immune disorder and REDs, and her path to health
  • How she fuels now

Rachael Norfleet is a mom, a trail runner, and a sales professional. She grew up in the Midwest and swam competitively into college. After collegiate swimming, she found triathlon and raced at a high level for 5 years, competing three times in world championship races. She took an almost 2-year hiatus from sport in 2018 to heal after experiencing a thyroid storm that turned her life and health upside down. During this time, she moved to California for work and began hiking all around SoCal. She fell in love with the trails and as her health came around, she began running more than hiking. She carried this love for trail running through her pregnancy and began racing on the trails more seriously in 2022.

She now lives in Bozeman, Montana with her husband, who is a pilot, and her 2-year-old son, Callum. After working in the neurosurgical medical device industry for 6 years, she's going back to school in 2024 to pursue nursing. Now, they prioritize spending meaningful time together as a family and we spend as much of their days outside as they can skiing, hiking, running and hunting collectively as a family.

In this week's episode, we talk to researcher and professor Keith Baar, Ph,D., about:

  • What to do when you have injuries to your tendons/ligaments
  • How to support and maintain healthy tendons and ligaments
  • Collagen use - does it work?

Pro tip - watch this on our YouTube channel!

Keith is the head of the Functional Molecular Biology Laboratory in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior at the University of California, Davis. He is a molecular exercise physiologist and is leading a team of researchers attempting to develop ways to improve muscle, tendon, and ligament function.

The goal of his laboratory is to understand the molecular determinants of musculoskeletal development and the role of exercise and nutrition in improving health and performance. To achieve this goal, he and his team work on muscle, tendon, and ligaments from 2- and 3-dimensional tissue culture, in vivo wild type and genetically modified animals, and humans.

His study interests include the interplay between nutrition and exercise and the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in the maintenance of muscle mass; the role of a ketogenic diet in improving age-related declines in muscle and brain function; and the role of different types of loading on the development and mechanics of ligaments.

In this week's episode, we talk to ultrarunner, race director and running coach, Adam Kimble about:

  • Tackling the Tahoe Rim Trail FKT
  • How he became an amateur survivalist
  • How he fuels for races & FKT attempts

Adam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe. Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.

In this week's episode, we talk to pro cyclist Alexey Vermeulen, who just took 2nd and 3rd place at Leadville 100 Mtn and SBT Grvl, respectively. We talk to Alexey about:

  • How he trains for consecutive podiums at 100+ miles
  • His relationship with food, and nutrition around races
  • His approach to nutrition around races
  • The program he co-founded, From the Ground Up & Willy the Wiener Dog

Alexey Vermeulen is an American cyclist who grew up racing on the road after getting into the sport through kids triathlon and inspiration from his grandfather (Opa). After spending two years in the World Tour with Jumbo Visma, Alexey pivoted towards the dirt (gravel & MTB) believing that the sponsorship model in professional cycling was flawed and that he could make a bigger impact where the barrier for entry was lower. Vermeulen has become famous on the circuit for training with Sir Willie the Weiner, a long-haired miniature dachshund that he carries in a backpack while riding. Recent results include winning BWR California, and Iceman Cometh in 2022. This year he secured podium finishes at both Leadville with an impressive 2nd place finish, and SBT GRVL, coming in 3rd.

In today's episode, we speak with Sam Laidlow about...

  • Xx

Sam Laidlow (born December 23, 1998 in Oakley, Bedfordshire.) is a French professional triathlete. Runner-up in the Ironman World Championship last October in Hawaii, Sam Laidlow made history with the best French performance.

At the age of 13, he decided to leave his home in Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda to join the National High Altitude Training Center in Font-Romeu. 3 years later, Sam was selected to train alongside the French team in Montpellier. At the age of 17, he returned to his family in Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda and began to be coached by his father Richard Laidlow.

His debut in long-distance triathlon was very promising. In 2019, he won the Lakesman long-distance triathlon, and in 2021, he won the first edition of the TradeInn 140.6Inn in Spain, a support event for the Spanish long-distance championship. That same year, he took second place in the French long-distance championships.

With his strengths being the first two disciplines of triathlon (swimming and cycling), Sam is often known for being at the front of the races assuming a more aggressive racing style. Sam also represented Team Europe at the 2nd edition of The Collins Cup in Samorin.

In today's episode, we speak with Callie Vinson about...

  • Finding passion for running during & after her 200-pound weight loss journey
  • The lessons she learned as she upped her mileage
  • Building confidence through running & chasing new goals
  • Training her gut & finding calorie sources that work for before, during and post-race
  • The mental preparation that goes into running 200 miles
  • The Rising Hearts Foundation and elevating indigenous voices

About Callie:
She began running in 2013 as a way to lose weight after realizing she could barely walk a mile to meet a friend for brunch in Chicago. It was a slow-go getting started—she picked up a stress fracture, had to learn the real value of food and how to eat better vs eating out every meal. She struggled simply running around the block—but she kept at it and eventually, one day, ran 13.1 miles around her neighborhood and decided she wanted to try a marathon. The 2016 BOA Chicago Marathon was her first race (ever) and she finished! It was around this time too that she reached a total of 200 pounds lost.

After that, she tackled her first 50 miler. Then, her first 100 miler and in 2022 her first 200+ mile finish at the Moab 240.

It wasn't until she moved to Arizona that she truly started trail running, and now she's just two weeks away from the Western States Endurance Run, oldest 100-mile trail ultra in the country, which includes 17k of vert and 23k of descent. Needless to say, there's been a lot of learning this training cycle — not just with performance on trail but also how to fuel properly for a hot, hot, hot mountainous race. It'll be a challenge, but like Callie likes to say, "We're runners and easy just ain't our thing."

  • Nutrition mistakes she's learned from
  • How she has developed her nutrition game plan
  • Tips and tricks for carrying and consuming fuel and hydration mid-race
  • How she grew her run coaching business
  • Strength training for runners

I’m Amanda Brooks the one woman running the show around here since 2007. A certified running coach and personal trainer for over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of runners through 1-1 personalized coaching and Virtual Run Club. Initially, I started the blog as a way to connect with other runners, but over the years my Journalism degree kicked in and I wanted to really KNOW more about running, so I started to create researched articles and make connections with people smarter than me to answer questions! 26,000 miles, 20+ years of running, a book and 2,000 articles later, I feel pretty good about not only helping others, but understanding whatever you’re going through on the run! My goal is to you thinking beyond pace to having more fun and less injuries.

  • His nutrition experience from his World Tour days to dirt cycling
  • His fueling and hydration strategies for long cycle races
  • Nutrition mistakes he's learned from in the past
  • Training with the fastest cycling dog, Sir Willie the Weiner

Alexey Vermeulen is an American cyclist who grew up racing on the road after getting into the sport through kids triathlon and inspiration from his grandfather (Opa). After spending two years in the World Tour with Jumbo Visma, Alexey pivoted towards the dirt (gravel & MTB) believing that the sponsorship model in professional cycling was flawed and that he could make a bigger impact where the barrier for entry was lower. Vermeulen has become famous on the circuit for training with Sir Willie the Weiner, a long-haired miniature dachshund that he carries in a backpack while riding. Recent results include winning BWR California, and Iceman Cometh in 2022.

In today's episode, we speak with Sam Moore about...

  • Menstrual cycle phase based training
  • How the menstrual cycle affects creatine supplementation
  • How creatine benefits fluid distribution
  • Why menstruators should supplement with creatine

Sam Moore is an applied sport scientist and Human Movement Science Doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Medicine, researching endocrinological topics of applied female athlete sport science. Sam completed her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and Human Biology from Western Oregon University and her master’s degree in Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention from California University of Pennsylvania. Prior to Carolina, Sam was with the NC State Wolfpack from 2019-2021 as the Director of Sport Science and Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach.

After two season ending knee surgeries during her dual sport collegiate athletic career, Moore was drawn to the starkly different experience entering the “real-world” as a former female athlete compared to her male counterparts. This was the inception of what would later establish her as the topic expert in the field of female athlete physiology in the pursuit of gender equity in collegiate women’s sports.

As the first woman to serve as a Director of Sport Science in the NCAA, Sam implemented a revolutionary and evidence informed framework of women’s specific training design based on the hormonal landscape of the Wolfpack female athletes. Sam has presented at major international conferences on topics ranging from metabolic and performance effects of female sex hormones to bigger pictures issues of equity and social justice for women and gender diverse athletes. Sam lives in Durham, N.C., with her husband Bennet and their 9-month-old puppy, Dionysus.

In today's episode, we speak with Heather Jackson about...

  • Her background and future in multi-disciplinary sports
  • Nutrition mistakes she's learned from in the past
  • How her fueling and hydration game plans change before, during, and after triathlons, gravel cycling, mountain biking, and ultra trail running

Heather Jackson is a professional athlete who spent the first twenty years of her life dabbling in a variety of different sports before focusing on ice hockey, playing Division 1 collegiately as well as intermittently for the United States’ Women’s National Team, ultimately trying to make the 2006 Olympic Games. Not making the team for the Torino Games, combined with the lack of options for women’s ice hockey post college, she found herself inspired by the novel physical demands of swimming, biking and running after attending a local sprint triathlon with her parents. Jackson fell in love with testing her individual limits after 20 years of team sport, and found success in triathlon, racing professionally for almost 15 years, winning some of the most prestigious events in the sport along the way. She is a 6x Ironman Champion, 16x Half Ironman Champion, and Escape from Alcatraz Champion. She made her biggest mark at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii where she placed in the top five four times, including a third place podium finish in 2016.

In today's episode, we speak with Renee Kiley about...

  • Her transformation from smoking a pack of cigarettes a day to competing as a pro triathlete
  • Her nutrition pre-race, race fueling strategy, and post-race recovery

About Renee:
In January 2014, I was 104kg (230lbs), smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and the owner of multiple successful small businesses. I was obsessed with work, unhealthy, unhappy, and hadn’t exercised for over 15 years.

In March 2014, I competed in my first triathlon. Prior to this I had not ridden a bike or swam since primary school and I had never run more than a few kilometers without stopping my entire life. During 2014 I lost 44kgs (97lbs) and completely turned my life around.

I have had incredible progression and one that is very unique in the world of professional sport. I finished 252nd in that first sprint distance triathlon. I went on to do my first Ironman in 2015 where I won my age group. As an amateur athlete between 2014 and 2017 I was a regular winner and podium finisher in my category across all distances from Sprint to Ironman.

In just my first two years in the sport I had already competed at the Ironman World Championships (Kona) twice.

In late 2017 I turned professional. In 2020 I achieved my first Ironman podium result as a pro, finishing 3rd at the Ironman Asia-Pacific Championships in Cairns. I finished 2nd at Ironman Hamburg in 2021 (just 2 minutes behind the winner), qualified and competed at both ironman World Championships in 2022 and rarely finish out of the Top 5 in any race locally or internationally.

I am doing what most people who work in high performance say should not be possible. Regularly beating women who have competed at Olympic level or who have been lifetime athletes.

I am committing everything to becoming one of the best female Iron distance athletes in the world. And along the way, of huge importance to me is to use my profile and story to inspire as many people as possible of how they can completely transform their life through sport.

In today's episode, we speak with Peter Stetina about...

  • His favorite supplements
  • Why and how he uses his favorite supplements
  • His FKT experience on the White Rim Trail

Pete has over a decade of elite road racing under his belt with races such as the Tour de France, and as such has benefitted from learning the most effective fueling strategies. But the biggest splash he made was being the first rider to jump away from the World Tour to pursue the Gravel racing scene, creating a template for others to follow this alternative professional model. As expected, the nutritional demands for self sufficient gravel racing is very different than the professionally supported World Tour model.

In today's episode, we speak with Maddy Price about...

  • Her mental health journey as a pro athlete
  • Her go-to race day recipes
  • Her favorite supplements for performance
  • Her experience with body image and "lighter is faster"
  • Her current training and nutrition strategies
  • Her travel nutrition tips

About Maddy:
I am a Canadian Olympian, pro 400/4x400m sprinter, motivational speaker, mentor, and advocate for athlete mental health.

My road to Tokyo and running full-time was filled with uncertainty as I dealt with my dad’s passing from cancer months after missing the 2016 Rio Olympic Team, coming back from foot surgery 12 months out from Tokyo 2020, and then the global pandemic, Olympic postponement, and its challenges.

Despite the odds, I helped lead our Women’s 4x400m relay team to a 4th place finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, just narrowly missing the podium and Canadian Record by six-tenths of a second.

Far more important than the accomplishment of becoming an Olympian is how I approached the process... with a gritty and “day by day” attitude.

In today's episode, we speak with Peter Stetina about how his nutrition and hydration game plans have changed between his pro careers in road cycling and gravel cycling.

Pete has over a decade of elite road racing under his belt with races such as the Tour de France, and as such has benefitted from learning the most effective fueling strategies. But the biggest splash he made was being the first rider to jump away from the World Tour to pursue the Gravel racing scene, creating a template for others to follow this alternative professional model. As expected, the nutritional demands for self sufficient gravel racing is very different than the professionally supported World Tour model.

In today's episode, we speak with Hillary Allen about her love for sky running and trail running, and how she fuels for these challenging courses. We'll also dive into how her nutrition changed after her life-threatening injury.

About Hillary Allen:
My career as an endurance athlete has not been straightforward. Through injury, setbacks and being told I would never run again, I’ve had to re-think what I consider impossible, as I continued to push myself, believing in my best athletic days ahead.

Early in my career, I earned the nickname “Hillygoat” for my love of the uphill and my ability to run fast on steep, technical mountain terrain – a style of running known as Skyrunning. I won the US SkyRunner Series in 2014 in my debut season and since then, I have raced all over the world, racking up wins and course records, establishing myself as one of the best mountain ultra runners in the world.

In 2017 I had a life threatening accident, where I fell 150 feet off of a ridge-line during a Skyrace in Tromsø, Norway. I broke a total of 14 bones and I was told I would never run again – let alone compete at the elite level. After several years of rehab and recovery, I made a full recovery and returned to elite level racing, running some of my longest and most challenging races post-accident.

I maintain the belief that ‘your best athletic days are ahead of you,’ if you’re willing to work hard for what you love and never give up on yourself.

I also am a scientist, I have a masters degree in neuroscience and physiology and structural biology, I’m a running coach, and a gravel cyclist.

In today's episode, we speak with Rose Grant about her career as an off road cyclist and how she adjusts her nutrition game plans going into events with drastically different durations.

5x Mountain Bike Marathon National Champ, Rose Grant, fell into Mountain Bike Racing in 2010 at the age of 28 while recovering from a running injury. She turned pro and got pregnant in 2012. Rose was raised in NW Montana where she currently resides with her husband and daughter. Rose is about to complete the final race of her 10 year professional career and move into full time mentorship and coaching, believing that her impact could be more beneficial to others from the sidelines, at this point in her life, than racing herself.

In today's episode, we speak with Mary Johnson about the importance of lifting for runners, her personal performance nutrition, and her injury recovery journey.

Mary Johnson is the owner of Lift.Run.Perform, mother of two, and athlete. She's had the pleasure of coaching athletes of all levels and abilities - from sub-3 marathons to beginner 5ks. She believes in a slow progression and consistent communication between coach and athlete. Above all, she believes in meeting yourself where you are as an athlete, believing in yourself, and flourishing from there. She also wants to encourage more runners to shed their fear of the weight room, because a strong athlete is a strong (and fast!) runner.

In today's episode, we speak with Savilia Blunk about her experience as a professional cross country mountain biker and how she has dialed in her fueling and hydration strategies for races around the world.

About Savilia Blunk:
Growing up in the small town of Inverness, California, I learned the importance of understanding where you come from, your surroundings, and how you have the power to change your environment for the better. I come from multiple generations of artists, with the creative hand shaping my early life. These experiences have influenced how I express my own strengths and weaknesses as a female athlete, and how I relate to my environment and connect to those around me. This has all fueled what is now my career in professional cycling. Unfolding in my high school years with NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association), my passion as a cross country mountain bike racer was launched into a professional career as an athlete. During the three years of my professional career, I have earned 6 National titles, 2 U23 World Cup podiums, and multiple top 15 World Cup finishes. I now race professionally for Orange Seal Off-Road Team. However, I believe I have more to offer than being a bike racer on a bike, and I am here to share my stories, advice, and help inspire and motivate the next generation.

Professor Julien Périard is Deputy Director of the University of Canberra Research Institute for Sport and Exercise (UCRISE), where he leads the Environmental Physiology Research Laboratory. He is also the former Head of Research Operations for the Athlete Health and Performance Research Centre at Aspetar (Qatar). His scientific expertise lies in the area of environmental physiology (i.e. heat and altitude) where he uses an integrative research approach to examine the physiological mechanisms that mediate health and performance. Over the last decade Julien has studied the pathways via which fatigue develops during prolonged exercise in the heat, along with strategies to mitigate its influence (heat acclimation and hydration). This research continues, along with a focus on developing extreme heat policies for safely conducting physical activity in hot environmental conditions.

In today's episode, we speak with Chris Bagg and Molly Balfe, co-owners and coaches for Campfire Endurance. Tune in to learn more about creating and coaching a community of endurance athletes around the world, carb loading before races, #pancakedoping and #appledoping.

Chris Bagg has been an actor, cook, teacher, freelance writer, professional triathlete, and coach. He runs Campfire Endurance Coaching with his infinitely patient business partner, aiming to make endurance athletes everywhere faster and happier. He lives in Portland, Oregon, but he grew up in Massachusetts and New York (he's a Red Sox fan, though). He played soccer in college and then taught high school English for a while before turning to the thing he discovered he loves to do: being a P.E. teacher for adults.

Molly Balfe has been an actor, restaurant hostess, epidemiologist, and has worked in film and television sales and marketing. She also lives in Portland, Oregon, where it rains all the time, she thinks. She grew up swimming, and her coach once described her career as "whimsical." She now coaches full-time and spends her free time on her bicycle.
