The Sam Plan Pod with Sam Gwaz

Alex Rice joins me.. yet again (lol)! We have talked about the training and positives of running a marathon...but what about the fall out?

Podcast Overview:

• Training / nutrition summary
• Marathon fall out
• What did we learn?

Podcast overview:

• NYC travel favorites and tips
• Travel mindset, nutrition and weight gain
• Travel mindset, fitness/exercise
• Returning from travel, getting "back on track"

I ran a half marathon! I wanted to give some insight on how I trained and prepped for my most recent race, the Nike After Dark Half Marathon! It was an evening race, which isn't the norm, so take that into consideration. I also wanted to take this opportunity to dive into why I am breaking up with distance training and the learning opportunity it presented me with. Podcast Overview: - my training for a half marathon - my nutrition for a half marathon - race day specifics - why I am breaking up with distance training*if I run a race, I will not be training for it! **if I go for a random long run - it will not be because I am prepared for it!

SKINNYTOK?! A revival of the toxic thin ideal of the 90's and a new (big) trend on Tiktok. In this podcast I share my perspective, experience, and thoughts. All in hopes of shedding light on a dark topic and clarity where their uncertainty might exist.

Podcast overview:

• Beauty standards are just trends
• We often learn through experimenting - the pendulum of extremes is a teaching moment
• The fat phobia of skinny tok leads to women, young girls to harshly judge (hate) themselves
• Embracing healthy over size
• Longevity
• The good side of Skinny Tok?

WE RAN A MARATHON! This is a special podcast because I'm joined by my brave friends, Alex and Layla. Three months ago when I approached them about the idea of running the LA Marathon..it didn't take much convincing! And here we are on the other side of it - ready to spill the beans:

- would we run another?

- what did we do well?

- what would we change?

- LA marathon specifics?

Welcome back to the podcast! It's been a minute since I've had a lot to share, but I'm back and ready to dive in. Marathon prep is in full swing!

In this episode, I'm covering:

• My journey with running and why I decided to sign up for a marathon
• The details of my training plan (strength workouts, easy runs, and interval training)
• My approach to nutrition (calories, protein, carbs, and all the essentials)
• Supplement recommendations and things to keep in mind

And of course, there will be a follow-up episode after the race. If you've got any questions or want me to dive into anything specific, feel free to reach out. I'm also open to case studies—send me your personal questions or scenarios, and I'd love to address them!

What is a "Winter Arc"? My bestie, Alex Rice joins the pod to define and set up for the next season (winter is coming!). In this episode we address the mental and physical benefits of this concept as well as the struggle of a drop in temperature, shorter days, and so many cookies around every corner. For so many, this is a time of feeling "out of control" but my hope is that we can all reclaim a piece of that and bring intention to what often seems unintentional (weight gain). As a reminder - nobody has it all figured out. We are all learning and I hope you join us in this coming season of discovery.

Statistically, 1 in 10 women have it - but how many struggle through years of pain before arriving to that diagnosis? Yale Medicine claims that, on average, there is a four-to-11-year delay between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis (and treatment). SO LETS TALK ABOUT IT. Maybe your IBS is actually...Endometriosis? Of course, speak to your health care provider and advocate for yourself - no one else will do a better job than YOU.

Relationships are a focal point to health and longevity (no debate needed here) - which makes "modern dating" the perfect topic to expand upon and hopefully get some guidance from two of my favorite "experts"; Joe (my high school ex boyfriend) and his bff Art. Both are highly eligible bachelors in Manhattan (in case you or anyone you know might be interested) *wink wink

In this podcast we discuss,

- dating app do's and don't

- 1st date icks

- app algorithms

- and so much more
