Born without legs in Russia and adopted at an early age, to say Jess has learned how to deal with adversity would be an understatement.

Plus: How she manages her own big expectations, what it was like to step into her own beyond being a top athlete, how it felt to be featured in a 2021 Toyota Super Bowl commercial, and why her new partnership with Ally is so meaningful.

Leading into my next marathon training block, I decided it was smart to do a blood test via InsideTracker. As a result, I asked Michelle Darian, RD and Marketing Manager for Science and Product at InsideTracker on the show. This is so much bigger than interpreting ~my~ results, though. For this episode, we focus on understanding what inflammation is, why we want some (but not a lot), and how to reduce or lessen it in a safe way via both environmental and dietary shifts. Plus: Why we need to be cognizant about what's going on in our bodies, how iron and ferritin can impact women — especially within exercise, and more.

Ajla Tomljanović knows the hardships of injury all-too-well. For this week's episode, I sit down with one of the best tennis players of her time to chat about the highs and lows of taking time off, and how it feels for her to take a back seat after a runaway year in 2022 defeating legend Serena Williams in her final match at the U.S. Open. She shares a lot about her mentality on and off the court, plus how it feels to have so many eyes on her as a rising star. Plus: How she knows when the "right" time will be to get back into the game after a nagging knee injury, and why she adores training with Omorpho's weighted gear.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE

LaChina Robinson went through a quarter-life crisis, as she puts it, that changed everything for her. A former college basketball player, the now-Atlanta-based journalist wasn't exactly sure what laid ahead in her professional cards come her mid 20's. And so, she asked a lot of questions and sought out feedback, which ultimately lead her down a path of persuing her passions as a WNBA analyst. For episode 256, LaChina talks about her experience with depression, offers up her advice for anyone navigating an unexpected pivot, and shares what it's like to be recognized for her efforts as a Black sports broadcaster. Plus: Her biggest takeaways from decades of networking and the advice she'd offer her younger self knowing what she knows now.

Last week I sat down with Nike Running coach Jes Woods live at Nike's New York headquarters to answer your big running questions in honor of Global Running Day. And this week? We're bringing the live episode to the feed! In today's conversation, Jes and I tackle the tough topics — including:

How do I decide what raced to run?

If I only want to run three times per week, what should I be doing?

How do I know if I need a run coach? And if I know I want one, how do I choose one?

What are the best sneakers?

Do I need different sneakers for different types of running?

I don't need to start training for X race until X date. What should I do until then?

+ more!
