In this new episode, I’m joined by Running Explained coaches Nick Klastava & Jessie Gruca as we dive into the realities of traveling to races with your family. We chat about everything from balancing carb-loading with kids’ snack schedules to managing the emotions of either bringing your kids along or leaving them at home. You’ll get practical tips on everything from international race travel to including your little ones in race-day events, and how to turn race weekends into lasting family memories.

Whether you're a seasoned parent-runner or gearing up for your first race trip with kids, this episode has got you covered. Jessie and Nick share their own stories of guilt, stress, and joy, offering advice on flexibility, clear communication, and the importance of showing up to race weekend with a solid plan. It's all about making race day work for you and your family, no matter what the weekend throws your way!
