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.

Setbacks- whether it’s injury, burnout, or just feeling off, can completely shake your confidence. Mallory talks about what it really looks like to rebuild trust in your body and keep training even when you’re not at 100%. If you’ve been struggling to get back into your routine, questioning your progress, or feeling like you’ve lost your edge, this episode is for you.

At 19 years old, Kevin Hines made a decision that would change his life forever.

In this episode, Kevin shares the story of his suicide attempt off the Golden Gate Bridge and the split-second moment that followed where everything shifted. What he thought he wanted wasn’t what he actually wanted.

We talk about what led him there, what was really going on beneath the surface, and what it took to rebuild his life after surviving the unthinkable. This is a conversation about mental health, resilience, and the reality that the thoughts we have in our darkest moments don’t always tell the full truth.

Kevin’s story is heavy but it’s also incredibly hopeful.

If you’ve ever struggled, felt overwhelmed, or questioned your path, this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone, and your story isn’t over.

Commercial pilot Peter Cappio shares how he balances life in the cockpit with running, HYROX training and dating. From unpredictable schedules to staying disciplined on the road, he breaks down what it takes to maintain a high-performance lifestyle while chasing a demanding career. We also cover what’s really happening when you hit turbulence and the rules of being a passenger.

Training for your goals will change your social life, whether you expect it or not.

In this solo episode, Mallory talks about the reality of balancing friendships and training: the guilt, the missed plans, the loneliness, and the growth that comes with it. If you’ve ever felt like the “boring” friend or struggled to choose between going out and showing up for yourself, this one’s for you.

Because finding your pace isn’t just about fitness, it’s about building a life that actually aligns with you.
