Find Your Pace

What happens when the goals you’ve spent your entire life chasing start to change?

In this episode of Find Your Pace, Mallory sits down with two-time Olympian, American record holder, and running coach Molly Huddle to talk about what it means to evolve as an athlete and as a person. From competing on the world stage and pushing the limits of distance running to navigating motherhood, postpartum running, and a new chapter in her career, Molly shares what she’s learned through nearly two decades in the sport.

We get into the realities of being a female athlete, the pressure to constantly achieve, how pregnancy and motherhood can reshape your relationship with running, and why success doesn’t always have to mean getting faster. We also discuss the importance of fueling, coaching, and changing the way the running community supports women throughout every stage of life.

Whether you’re chasing a PR, navigating a major life transition, or figuring out who you are outside of your biggest goals, this conversation is a reminder that your path doesn’t have to look the same forever.

A little life update on where Mallory has been lately- from how her ultra race actually went, to the brand deal that may have changed her life, and the health stuff she has been navigating behind the scenes. She’s also getting honest about the medications she’s on, some recent health results, and why she’s getting a colonoscopy soon. Basically, a very real check-in on running, work, money, and figuring out what’s next.

What if the thing that makes you successful can eventually become the thing that controls you?

Hellah has built an entire identity around never missing a day. That’s incredibly inspiring but it also opens up some really interesting questions about obsession, rest, identity, social-media pressure, and knowing when to let go.

Aisha McAdams is a photographer, creative director, former competitive runner, and co-founder of Rhoam Creative Studio. In this episode, we talk about what happens when the thing that once defined you starts to feel like a source of pressure and what it looks like to find your way back to it on your own terms.

We talk about running, identity, creativity, achievement, burnout, and her journey from athlete to photographer, as well as her new documentary Learning to Fly, which captures her return to ultrarunning and first 100k race. You can watch the Documentary now on Prime Video!

A personal update on Mallory’s Achilles injury, starting physical therapy, and everything she’s learned about tendon health along the way. She’s sharing what her recovery has looked like, how conversations with the experts we’ve had on the podcast have changed the way she thinks about training and injury, and where she’s at with upcoming races and goals.

How much of what we’ve been taught about women’s bodies is actually true?

Dr. Elizabeth Comen, medical oncologist, physician-scientist, and author of All in Her Head, joins Mallory to unpack the history of how women’s health has been misunderstood and how some of those beliefs still shape the way women are treated today.

We talk about why women’s pain is so often dismissed, what medicine has gotten wrong about female physiology, the truth behind the “hormone imbalance” conversation, under-fueling and women in sports, breast cancer prevention, aging, and how to become a better advocate for your own health.

This conversation is ultimately about learning to understand your body instead of constantly fighting against it and questioning what we’ve been told along the way.

In a world where it feels like everyone is suddenly a running coach…how do you know who to trust?

Mallory sits down with NYC-based running coach Kara Dudley, founder of Rerouted Running, to talk about what actually makes a good coach and what doesn’t. We get into the controversial side of coaching: AI training plans vs real coaches, whether running a fast marathon makes someone qualified to coach, and why you should (or shouldn’t) take nutrition advice from a coach instead of a registered dietitian.

If you’ve ever questioned who to trust with your training, this conversation is for you.

You can be grateful for where you are and still want more.

In this episode, we’re talking about the tension between appreciating your current life while continuing to dream bigger. Wanting more doesn’t mean what you have isn’t enough and ambition doesn’t have to come from a place of dissatisfaction. A reminder that you can love where you are while still moving toward where you want to go.

Dr. Andy Fata-Chan, physical therapist and co-founder of Moment Physical Therapy, breaks down everything you think you know about pain, posture, and performance and what actually matters.

We talk about why stretching isn’t the answer, why runners keep getting injured, and how strength training might be the missing piece in your routine.

Dr Glashow, an Orthopedic Surgeon who works with elite athletes breaks down what actually causes injuries and how to avoid them. We talk ACL tears, overtraining, recovery mistakes, peptides and what your body is trying to tell you before it forces you to stop.
