Let’s be real—eating healthy can feel like a total drag sometimes, especially when all your favorite foods seem to be off-limits. But what if I told you that you don’t have to give up everything you love in order to eat healthy, lose fat, and still feel totally satisfied? In this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’m sharing 10 Food Swaps to Help You Eat Healthier (Without Hating Your Life). These aren’t bland or boring substitutions either—these are low-carb, whole food alternatives that taste amazing and will actually leave you feeling full and energized. If you’re a runner who’s been struggling to stay on track with your eating, this episode will show you that healthy eating doesn’t have to suck. You’ll learn how to make small, sustainable changes that can lead to big results—without feeling like you’re on a sad, restrictive diet.

In this episode of Trail Runner Nation, cognitive neuroscientist and endurance athlete Dr. Scott Frey reveals how brain training can unlock new levels of performance for trail and ultrarunners. He explains that while most athletes focus on the physical, it’s often the brain that sets the limits—through perceived effort, cognitive fatigue, and pain signals. Dr. Frey introduces his Brain Endurance System Training (BEST), a method that combines cognitive and physical training to build mental strength and resilience. We talk about managing cognitive load, how the brain predicts fatigue, and why a mental taper can be just as important as a physical one. Listeners will learn how to train smarter, race longer, and enjoy the sport deeper by understanding the true power of the brain.  Find out more about BEST and Dr. Frey at Cerebral Performance Episode Sponsors: Janji, Use code TRAILRUNNER for 10% off Shokz, Use code TRN10 for 10% off Amazfit - T-Rex 3: Get 15% off Oikos Triple Zero Get the NEW "1 > 0" running hat HERE.  Limited supply

Ever had a race—or a life plan—go sideways? You laid out the spreadsheets, packed the drop bags, prepped the fuel… and then something unexpected knocked it all off course?

I veckans avsnitt tar vi ett grepp om orienteringen. En sport där Sverige producerat flertalet världsmästare men som ändå känns väldigt avlägsen för många utpräglade löpare. Genom åren har flertalet duktiga orienterare presterat mycket fina resultat även på löparbanan. Vi möter Martin Regborn, en av flera som lyckats ypperligt inom både löpningen (b.la. 13.57 på 5000m) och orienteringen (världsmästare i sprint 2024). Martin berättar om hur de två disciplinerna skiljer sig åt annat än kartläsningen, vad som gör den nya generationen orienterare så bra på löpning, träningsupplägg och hur obanad terräng kan gagna även den mest inbitna löparen.  Sixten Hillerhag från Löplabbet är med oss och berättar om orienteringskulturen och vilka materialkrav som finns. Han presenterar även 2025-års "Trailsko-guide" som nu finns att tillgå på Löplabbets hemsida.  Manne har tävlat vid Trosa Stadslopp och slagit stort personbästa på banan. John börjar se ljuset.  Veckans Sponsor: Löplabbet - Länk till Löplabbets trailsko-guide -  Trail Den 1-8 december åker Spring Snyggt på träningsresa till Playitas - Träningsresa med Spring Snyggt

In this episode of the Beyond Running Podcast, Mau Díaz sits down with Rob Watson, a lifelong runner, lululemon Run Ambassador, coach, and host of Rob Talks Running, to explore the deeper journey behind a life built around movement. Rob shares his story of how running became his compass, not only shaping his career but helping him navigate challenges, identity, and reinvention along the way. Together, Mau and Rob reflect on what it means to devote yourself to something fully, to chase performance, and then to learn how to let go. They talk about the emotional highs of professional competition, the quiet struggles that don’t show up on race results, and the process of rediscovering joy and purpose in running after the spotlight fades. Rob speaks candidly about vulnerability, mental resilience, and the importance of community, both in training and in life. This conversation is not just for runners, it’s for anyone who has ever asked what comes after striving, or how to stay grounded while pushing toward big goals. Through humor, humility, and hard-earned wisdom, Rob reminds us that growth isn’t just about getting faster: it’s about knowing when to pause, when to pivot, and how to keep showing up.  Follow Rob Watson https://www.instagram.com/robtalksrunning/

This week’s show brought to you by: Ketone-IQ You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don’t have as many carbohydrates. The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner. But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores. And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming.  For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining. If you want to see more of the research, head to ketone.com/RTTT Plus, for a limited time you can save 30% off your first subscription order & receive a free six pack of Ketone-IQ by going ketone.com/RTTT. That’s K-E-T-O-N-E dot com slash RTTT. MAS NAD+ for Runners Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there. This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy. But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn’t mean you have to accept it. NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%. Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements. This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level. You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. If you’re ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.

This episode features the running story of Mireille Siné, a marathon and ultra runner, a coach, and so much more. And intertwined into Mireille’s running journey is an autoimmune condition she’s been navigating since college: lupus. Since childhood, being active and participating in sports has been part of Mireille’s life, and that included running. Running became a more central part of her athletic journey through college and after. Now in her mid-30s, Mireille has completed numerous half marathons, over a dozen marathons, and several trail ultras. She was also on a relay team for the Speed Project, a 340-mile event that goes from Santa Monica, CA,  to Las Vegas, NV, and she ran from Boston to New York City as part of a group of women who completed the 200-mile journey in 11 days. All to say, Mireille loves the challenge of running  long distances, and she has for years now. Throughout her running journey, Mireille has met the challenges presented by lupus. And that is the story Mireille is going to tell. How her pursuit of running and a lupus diagnosis have shaped her life and her athletic pursuits, as she continues to run far, and now coach others to go after their running goals.

One of the most badass racers I know is Kat Edwards Anderson. She has been on the WASP twice before, most recently on episode #327 in January, chatting about her runs at the Sedona Canyons 125 and the Moab 240. I first met her in Chile in March, 2024, where she impressively conquered many new challenges for her in the high Atacama Desert. She built on these experiences by overcoming blisters on her feet, menstrual cycle irregularities, heat, and mental hurdles to get on the podium at Moab. In this episode, Kat shares some great insights on her run in May at the Cocodona 250, where she finished as the 6th female. Kat took many of the lessons from Moab, along with input from her coach, Tyler Andrews, to dial in the minutiae that is required to have success at such a grueling race. Kat shares much about the custom-designed gear she used to suit her needs, and the many very sound practices that she employed for Cocodona. Naturally, there were uncontrollables like the weather, and once again, her cycle. Most notably, she generously shares her mental battles through the race, and how her crew and her faith both came through for her to get to a finish line that at times seemed improbable. This is a great chat inside the mind of a tough, focused endurance beast of a runner. Next up for Kat is some “speedwork” as she comes out here to Colorado to slay the Leadville Trail 100.Kat Edwardskatedwardspt.comInstagram @kat.elizabeth_For coaching inquiries: www.chaski.runBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease support Team Leadville and Warriors' Ascent help prevent veteran suicide!
