Ever wonder if running more miles is actually helping you, or just beating up your body?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the latest running trends, from sprint squads to long-distance track groups, and sharing what actually helps women train smarter and avoid injuries. 

I’ll walk you through the biggest red flags I see in workout programs, the most common fat loss myths that need to die already, and why tracking your cycle (plus using wearables) can completely transform your fitness journey.

I’m joined by my girl Emily (aka ATX Cake Bae and the marketing/ops queen behind Broads) for a rapid-fire catch up. We also talk about why supplements aren’t the magic fix they’re marketed to be and the truth about six-pack abs and what to focus on if you only have 30 minutes to train.

Emily has been part of the Broads team for over two years, and she’s not just behind the scenes, she’s living the programs. Today we are sharing the strategies, mindset shifts, and “green flags” that make training effective, sustainable, and actually fun.
