Meet Cait Keen. She’s a runner but also a dog mom, career woman, Tiktok creator (go follow her), and all around badass.

Some of her running accomplishments include qualifying for the 2020 Olympic marathon trials and winning the Cincinnati Flying Pig marathon…. twice.

Kelly was so excited to get to talk with Cait after following her journey for over a year on social media.

Cait and Kelly chatted all about:

Her running journey

and so much more.

JK’s short stint with running

If you've been wanting to add strength to your training plan, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Kelly dives into more specifics about how you would build your own strength program to complement your running. As she mentioned in last episode, these 2 episodes (eps 38 and 39) are only a drop in the bucket of all of the ins and outs of strength training, but this should be a good starting point.

Kelly also answers some of the questions she received from her IG audience around the topic.

If you have more questions or more specific questions, reach out to her! She would love to chat strength training with you. (or maybe just sign up to work with her as a coach 😉)

It’s no secret that Kelly personally loves strength training and thinks it is a vital part of a training routine. There are lots of discussions within the running space about whether strength training is beneficial for running or not. In her opinion, these discussions take a very narrow focus when most of us should be thinking broader.

In this episode, Kelly dives into:

Stay tuned for the next strength training episode with more specifics about how to incorporate strength and what to actually do in your sessions.

This week on the podcast I have a really special conversation for you. I got to talk to someone I met at the Endeavorun retreat a few weeks ago who is just a great human.

Diane and I chatted all about:

Her journey with running and writing (including getting back into running at 49)

In this solo pod, Kelly talks about something that's been on her mind lately - grappling with the label of 'ultrarunner' when you've run an ultra before but aren't currently training for one. She also touches a bit on what she IS training for and what her current running goals are.

Enjoy this short stream of consciousness episode!
