Episode 81 is our first official listener Q and A! :) We pulled questions straight from the texts and emails we get from clients and listeners because most of them apply to way more than one person.

We talk through protein and energy for afternoon workouts, why we look at total calories and carb timing before obsessing over macros, and simple post workout habits that make the biggest difference. We also share our go to whole food protein options, what to look for in a protein powder, and why sourcing and third party testing matters.

Next we cover training for a trail race at altitude, how to structure down weeks across a six month build, and practical ways to prepare for 9000 feet including sauna training, hydration, and a few commonly used tools like beets and cordyceps.

We finish with immune support, the lifestyle basics that matter most, and a reminder that pushing hard while you feel sick is not a flex. If you have a question you want us to answer next, send it in. Anonymous is always welcome.

We Get 2 Do This!

Today we are joined by 2004 U.S. Olympian in the 1500 meters, 5 time NCAA National Champion at Villanova, Minnesota high school legend with 13 state titles, proud mom of three, wife to her high school love Charlie, and one of the most recognizable voices in distance running today, Carrie Tollefson.

Carrie ran 4:06 in the 1500, 15:04 in the 5K, competed professionally with Minnesota Distance Elite, and now hosts both the C Tolle Run Podcast and YouTube Channel as well as The RunDot Running Podcast, while serving as one of the leading commentators in the sport.

But this conversation goes far beyond times and titles.

We talk about the secret sauce of outliers. Why the best athletes keep it fun. How confidence is built long before the big stage. And what it looks like to stay in love with running through motherhood, broadcasting, and building a life alongside someone who believes in your dreams.

Carrie shares how she trained through pregnancy, what postpartum looked like for her, how she balances broadcasting at the highest level with raising three kids, and the kind of legacy she hopes to leave behind.

We also dive into the evolution of running culture, super shoes, Strava, partnership in marriage, and why at the end of the day, it is still “just a race.”

This one felt special.

We Get 2 Do This!

Welcome back to We Get 2 Do This. This is We Get 2 Catch Up Episode 4, and it has been a minute since it was just the two of us. We have had a run of amazing guests, a lot of travel, and a lot of heaviness in the world. So today is a check in. A breath. And a reminder that you are not alone.

We start with some exciting podcast updates, including our brand new logo and our new website, weget2dothis.com. We also talk about the cadence we want to build moving forward, one catch up episode, one topic episode, and two guest episodes each month. If you have guests you want us to bring on, we are officially back in that mode.

Then we get into real life. We talk about how important it is to take care of yourself if you want to keep showing up for your community, and how community and hope matter even more when things feel heavy. We also talk about the difference between pushing emotions out in healthy ways versus aiming that energy at each other, plus why training can be one of the safest places to practice resilience for real life.

Kailee shares highlights from South America, including Patagonia, mountain town life, big hikes, big perspective shifts, and what she noticed about presence, phones, and how people connect when they are actually with each other.

Jacob shares a major training pivot and the full behind the scenes on why he dropped the Mesa Marathon plan, what he learned, and why sometimes the strongest move is the smart move. We also celebrate a big We Get 2 Do This moment, a lifetime bench press PR.

If this episode brought you any comfort, perspective, or energy, we would be so grateful if you took a moment to support the show.

We Get 2 Do This!

In this episode, Jacob and Kailee sit down in person with Abby Drach, founder of Kuvetta Athletic, a women’s athletic apparel brand built for strong bodies and endurance sport.

Abby shares how Kuvetta came to life from a vision she had at a young age and how her background as a Nordic skier at Dartmouth shaped the way she designs apparel. She talks about creating pieces that actually move with muscles, fit powerful legs and shoulders, and still let women express style through bold prints, florals, and personality.

You will hear the real behind the scenes of building a small business from scratch, including Abby’s early days sewing over 2,000 face masks during COVID, making thousands of pieces on a home sewing machine, and eventually expanding into a network of US based contract sewers to keep production local. She opens up about slow growth, what marketing wins actually do and do not change overnight, what it was like having a pop up storefront in Boulder, and why in person connection has been one of the biggest drivers of the brand.

The conversation also gets honest about entrepreneurship and identity, especially the pressure to keep chasing the next milestone, how hard it is to let the wins sink in, and how one negative review can stick even when you are surrounded by supportive customers. Abby and the crew talk about patience, defining success for yourself, and why you do not need a viral moment to have a meaningful and sustainable business.

Whether you are an athlete, a founder, or someone in the messy middle of building something you care about, this episode is a reminder that community matters, the work compounds, and grit can still look like grace.

We get to do this.

We Get 2 Do This!

In Part 2 of When the Coach Gets Coached, Jacob sits down with his coach, Matt Welch, at one of the hardest points of a training cycle right after illness and right before a decision.

What starts as a simple training update turns into a deep and honest conversation about sickness, burnout, motivation, and the emotional weight that comes with chasing big goals. Jacob opens up about feeling deflated, questioning whether he even wants to race, and wrestling with the fear of letting his coach down. Matt brings perspective from the coaching side, reminding Jacob that fitness is not fragile, progress is not wasted, and that setbacks do not erase the work already done.

Together, they unpack fueling mistakes, winter training stress, mental resilience, and the pressure athletes put on themselves to force outcomes before life events like weddings, travel, and major transitions. Kailee joins the conversation to offer grounding perspective, reminding Jacob that this journey has been years in the making and that racing can still be a celebration, not just a result.

This episode is for any athlete who has ever gotten sick at the wrong time, lost motivation mid build, or felt like they failed their coach or themselves. It is a reminder that training is rarely linear, that uncertainty is part of the process, and that sometimes the bravest move is simply keeping the door open.

We Get 2 Do This!

In this episode, we sit down with Alexandra Zauner, the founder of Lucille’s Bottle Shop in St. Paul, to talk about Dry January, sober curiosity, and what it looks like to build a social life that does not revolve around alcohol.

Alex has been sober for over 10 years, is a seriously impressive entrepreneur and mom, and has been featured multiple times on KARE 11 as she and her business have grown. She also previously hosted her own podcast, Creating Ripples, which became a powerful platform and grew to well over 200 episodes, built on the idea that every story can create a ripple effect and inspire those around you.

Alex shares her sobriety story, what has shaped her mission, and how Lucille’s grew from pop ups and tastings into a retail space and eventually into what she is most passionate about now: mobile events and experiences that help people connect for real. We also talk about the behind the scenes reality of small business ownership, learning what actually gives you energy, and having the courage to refine your vision instead of doing a little bit of everything.

We dig into the gray area that a lot of people live in: wanting to drink less while still navigating family gatherings, friendships built around drinking, and social pressure. Alex breaks down why getting clear on your why matters so much, how to approach events where alcohol is present, and why it does not have to be all or nothing.

We also get into the fitness world and its relationship with alcohol, including why races and wellness spaces should be offering better NA options, and how advocacy creates change faster than we think.

Alex wraps with a We Get To Do This moment that helped realign her entire business and purpose. If you are sober, sober curious, or simply craving deeper connection, this episode will meet you right where you are.

If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the show, leave a five star rating, and share it with a friend who might need the reminder that you do not have to do this alone.

Happy New Year again. We are officially stepping into 2026.

Which means now the noise gets even louder about goals, resolutions, productivity, and doing more than ever before.

So let’s slow it down. Again.

This is not about creating a perfect version of yourself or overhauling your entire life. It is about choosing direction with intention and building goals that actually support who you are and how you want to live.

Grab a notebook and settle in as we walk through this process together. We encourage you to pause, write, and think alongside us.

The areas we explore in this walk through include:

1. Physical goals (your ideal morning and how you want to experience movement)
2. Top 3 personal and professional achievements of 2026
3. 1-3 reasons/things that will cause friction toward hitting your goals above
4. Themes & Words of 2026

⁠Access the full reflection and vision guide here

As we move through each section, we share our own goals and intentions openly and honestly, including how our reflections from the previous episode shaped the way we are setting goals this year.

This episode is not about pushing harder. It is about choosing the right push.

Because when your goals are rooted in intention, you do not need urgency to move forward.

We Get 2 Do This!

Happy New Year. 2026 is here.

Which means the internet is already yelling about goals, resolutions, habits, and becoming a brand new version of yourself overnight.

So naturally…

SIKE.

Before we talk about where we are going, we need to take time to reflect on where we have been.

In this special reflection episode, Kailee and Jacob guide you through a powerful walk through to help you intentionally process 2025. The year may be over, but the lessons, growth, and experiences still deserve space and attention so we can move forward with clarity instead of urgency.

Grab a notebook and settle in as we walk through six key reflection areas. We encourage you to pause, write, and reflect alongside us.

The six areas we explore together are:

1) Your top three achievements in 2025 both personal and professional

2) Challenges you faced and what they taught you

3) Habits that supported you this year and habits you are ready to leave behind

4)Physical health and movement what energized you and brought you joy

5) What you grieved in 2025

6) What gave you peace in 2025

7) The relationships that enriched your life and helped you grow

As we move through each section, we also share our own reflections openly and honestly.

This episode is not about rushing into what is next. It is about honoring what was so you can step into 2026 with intention, confidence, and gratitude.

We Get 2 Do This!

In our LAST episode of 2025, we sit down with Courtney Tanaka, owner and founder of RenewMe Physical Therapy, to talk all things physical therapy, postpartum recovery, and what it really looks like to return to running and activity after having a baby.

Courtney shares her journey from working inside a large hospital system to building her own practice focused on serving moms who often feel overlooked by the healthcare system. We talk about why the six week postpartum check is rarely enough, what moms actually need in those early weeks, and how education, support, and strength foundations can change the entire recovery process.

We dive into common postpartum concerns like leaking while running, pelvic heaviness, back pain, and fatigue, and why these experiences may be common but are not something you simply have to live with. Courtney breaks down how she approaches return to run, strength training, and movement from an orthopedic lens, why pelvic floor health does not have to be complicated, and how small changes can make a big difference.

The conversation also expands into motherhood, empathy, boundaries as care providers, and what it means to truly support women during pregnancy and postpartum rather than expecting them to “bounce back.” Courtney shares her own experiences as a mom, runner, and business owner, plus her personal We Get 2 Do This moments.

If you are a runner, a mom, a healthcare provider, or someone who supports women through pregnancy and postpartum, this episode is packed with insight, reassurance, and practical wisdom.
