I did it… I hired a running coach. 😳💪 After months of trying to “figure it out” on my own postpartum — and getting stuck in the injury > rest > rebuild > repeat cycle — I knew I needed support. I’m breastfeeding. I’m sleeping like… a mom. My hormones (hi relaxin, bye estrogen) are working against injury prevention. And I’m training with way less time and way more life happening. I don’t need to be the hero of my own training plan. I need someone to help me train smarter! and keep me running strong through motherrunnerhood.

I’m scared. I’m excited. I’m hopeful. This fall, I’m chasing a BIG running goal before we start trying for baby numero dos…. And I want to do it with a plan that works for this season. Here’s to coaching, consistency, and finally giving my body the support it deserves. 🙌

In this episode, I’m breaking down why metabolic recovery is more like a trail ultra than a 5K —and what most runners miss when trying to “fix” their metabolism. Endurance athletes are known for their grit, but healing your metabolism after years of high mileage, under-fueling, and stress? That takes a different kind of endurance. You can’t out-run a stressed metabolism. 🧠🔥

I ran my first half marathon postpartum! I recorded part of the episode before my race and I shared all the feelings and concerns I was having before my race. I go through my running journey after about 8 weeks postpartum up until race day. Then after my race I recorded a second part on how the half marathon went. I share about my carb load the day before and getting to start line and how I was feeling about being there. I talk through mile by mile how I was feeling and how I talked back to my self talk.

We are going to talk about shame today. Sometimes you might not even know you are doing it, but there is a lot of shaming in the running community. I am going to talk about how to release the shame, get away from the comparison trap and how to be aware of things we tend to shame ourselves for as runners and how it is not serving us.

Have you ever thought, "If I delete my tracking app or stop counting my macros, I will overeat!" This is what we are talking about today on the pod. I share some of my experience from when I was dieting and when I stopped dieting and stopped restricting, I actually stopped overeating. I also go in depth on set point weight, your primitive brain and scarcity and how each relate to dieting and overeating.
