  • This week, ahead of Western States this weekend, we're revisiting and re-airing our conversation with last year's champion Abby Hall — about growth, grit, and what it means to chase excellence over a long period of time.

    They talk about:

    Abby's evolution through a decade in the sportHow she found her footing in ultras and her relationship with the 100-mile distanceAnd, of course, the long road and many setbacks before last year's win

    What does it mean to care deeply, race boldly, and keep showing up? There's a vulnerability to racing at the highest level and a tension women often face between being competitive and being perceived as too much.

  • This week Corrine Malcolm is joined by Kate Veronneau, the director of women’s strategy at Zwift, a former professional cyclist, and one of the major driving forces behind the growth of women’s cycling and the huge success of the Tour de France Femmes.

    How Kate went from pro cyclist to creating real opportunities and pathways for women to become professional cyclistsWhat it takes to build better systems for female athletesWhy investing in women's sports is both the right thing to do and good business

    From backing and building the Zwift Academy and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to storytelling, sponsorship, and the future of women’s sport, it may be more about cycling but the lessons apply to all female athletes and runners. Kate will also be headlining this fall's FeistyFest — a three-day festival for active women.

    What's possible when people stop waiting for the change they want to see and start building it?

  • This week, Corrine Malcolm and Keely Henninger open up the Coaches Corner for a listener-driven grab bag of training questions.

    How to find the right trail shoe without wasting a ton of moneyWhat the path into coaching can actually look likeWhy the real “magic formula” for improvement is usually a lot less glamorous than people want it to be.

    They also talk through high-volume training, stage-race prep, strength work for ultrarunners, immune function and RED-S, and the very real emotional crash that can follow a big race. It’s a practical and wide-ranging episode with specific advice for the regular trail runners trying to train smarter, recover better, and make sense of all the noise.

  • This week, Corrine Malcolm is joined by one of the most exciting short-course racers on the circuit, Dani Moreno. Podiums at OCC, USATF trail national championships at the 50K and half-marathon, Broken Arrow and UTMB Major wins, Dani's also dealt with catastrophic injuries and setbacks.

    They talk about:

    The path from collegiate running to outdoor guiding to professional trail racing — and the feeling of being "lost" after collegeHow stepping away from structured performance helped Dani reconnect with joyDealing with injuries and setbacks in the processAnd why the current generation of women in trail racing are showing everyone that it's cool to care

  • It's a timely subject: This week, Corrine Malcolm and Hillary Allen dive into not just the physical side of injury, but the mental skills needed.

    With Hillary dealing with her own injury right now, she's put a lot of time and thought into building a practical injury toolkit:

    Normalizing the mental struggle athletes go throughReframing your goalsControlling what you can controlAnd building a recovery identity & community

    Injury can disrupt identity, routine, and motivation — but dealing with injuries is also incredibly common for runners. Let's learn together to work on the skills we need during these periods.

    They talk about:

    Why she picks races by feel and what she wants to do — even if that means skipping UTMB this yearHow her relationship with running has changed over timeMixing up the courses, terrain, and training

    And, of course, the topic on everyone's mind this week: Did Rachel Entrekin's win at Cocodona 250 change the game for the 200+ distance? Did her race give you JOMO or FOMO?

  • This week, Corrine sits down with Lizzy Fowler for a conversation about identity, resilience, and rebuilding after life splits into "before" and "after." They talk about Lizzy’s traumatic brain injury in college, the long process of learning to live in a body and brain that felt unfamiliar, and how ultrarunning became a way to test her edges, find flow, and begin trusting herself again.

    The two also dig into trauma and sexual assaultWhy she chose to share her story and work with Take Back the NightAnd how taking on the John Muir Trail became about far more than sport

    It’s a conversation about disruption, self-discovery, and the versions of ourselves we become when everything changes.

  • Researcher and runner Katherine Boere joins Corrine to talk about the connection between physiological depletion and cognitive function in runners. We've all been there: Making wild choices late in races that we swear seemed to make sense at the time. Why do decisions seem to get harder after you've run farther?

    The two of them dig into:

    the research around cognitive fatigue in marathons and ultramarathonswhat role low energy availability playsand what it means for how you train, fuel, and recover

    Boere is a Ph.D. candidate in the neuroscience program at the University of Victoria and a senior performance researcher at the Nike Sport Research Lab. And much or her research is inspired by her own experience putting in the miles out on the trails.

  • Olympic medalist Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health physical therapist Jess Dorrington join Corrine to talk about their new book, Strong as a Mother, and the bigger conversation around pregnancy, postpartum, and athleticism. Together, they explore what it means to stay active during pregnancy, how runners can think about returning to sport postpartum, and why strength during motherhood may look different, but no less powerful.

    They also dig into pelvic floor health for runners, common misconceptions around exercise during pregnancy, and why so much advice in this space can feel confusing or incomplete. Jess breaks down why pelvic health matters not just for pregnant and postpartum athletes, but for runners more broadly, while Shannon reflects on her path from Olympian to mom rediscovering joy in movement.

    Along the way, they talk about how Strong as a Mother came together, why the title changed from Running for Two, and what they hope athletes, moms, and active women take from the book: your body is capable of more than you think, and there is no one right way to move through this season. Shannon also shares more about her long Olympic medal journey and anti-doping advocacy.

  • Jane Maus is coming off a huge early-season win at Black Canyon 50K — but her story is about far more than a finish line.

    From battling chronic pre-race nerves to chasing the Grand Teton FKT, making the Short Trail World Championships Team, and stepping into a new partnership with Arc’teryx, Jane’s last two years have been anything but linear.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    Why she struggles to even make it to start linesThe move from Salt Lake City to Boulder and entering the “Boulder Bubble”Working with coach Rick Floyd and managing chronic injuryRacing Jazmine Lowther for the Grand Teton FKTFinding flow on technical terrainWhy 50K racing currently suits her body better than 100-milersKicking off 2026 with a Black Canyon win

    Jane’s story is about fitness built in the mountains, confidence built through racing, and learning to be competitive with your teammates.

  • Hillary is back from her recent travels, Corrine shares some upcoming race decisions, and then they dive into the topic of the day: Why some athletes are “clutch” on the world’s biggest stages, while others “choke”—and what the rest of us can learn from those moments.

    Corrine and Hillary explore the science of performance under pressure—from Olympic heartbreak to gold-medal breakthroughs.

    They break down the neuroscience of choking, why overthinking sabotages performance, and the psychological tools athletes can use to re-set mid-race. They also highlight Olympic champion Alysa Liu’s joy-first approach to sport and what endurance athletes can learn from it.

    You'll hear:

    What “choking” actually means in sports psychologyWhy pressure can disrupt automatic skillsThe neuroscience behind overthinking during competitionThe role of embarrassment and identity in athletic performanceWhy “just treat it like another race” rarely worksPractical tools to re-set your brain mid-raceSelf-determination theory: autonomy, competence, and communityWhy joy and intrinsic motivation can unlock peak performance

    From the pointy end of performance to mid-pack athletes, If you’ve ever panicked under pressure or struggled with self-doubt, you'll understand.

  • What does it take to become a Paralympian in a sport you just learned?

    This week, Corrine sits down with Team USA Paralympian Dani Aravich — a Nordic skier and biathlete (that's skiing and shooting) heading into her third Paralympic Games right now. How did she go from DI runner to professional sports executive to discovering the Paralympic movement and jumping headfirst into a brand new sport?

    Dani learned how to cross-country ski as an adult — and now she's in Milan competing at the Paralympics.

    But, she says, Paralympic storytelling also needs to move away from inspiration narratives and recognize these athletes as elite athletes. That's partially why she's a co-founder of Culxtured, an athlete-led media collective aiming to elevate Paralympic stories and coverage beyond the Games.

    Watch the Paralympics and Dani compete on Peacock & NBC in the U.S., CBC in Canada, and see the full list of global broadcasters here.

  • What does it mean to say trail running is for everyone — when not everyone feels safe at the start line?

    In this deeply honest and urgent conversation, Corrine sits down with trail runner and immigration attorney Carolina Rubio-MacWright to talk about what’s happening right now in immigrant communities — and why our sport cannot pretend it’s separate from the political reality of the world we live in.

    Carolina shares what it's like carrying her residency card on runs, fielding messages from athletes asking whether it’s safe to race, and helping race directors develop emergency plans for potential ICE raids.

    She speaks candidly about what meaningful action actually looks like — from buddy systems and mutual aid to card-writing campaigns for detained families.

    This episode is not abstract. It’s about real runners. Real families. Real fear. And real responsibility.

    As Carolina reminds us, silence benefits the status quo. Action builds community.

    What cortisol actually is (and why it’s not always the villain)Energy deficiency vs. REDs vs. the Female Athlete TriadWhy BMI isn’t an accurate measure of athlete healthNew hormonal markers that do matterWhy adolescent runners are especially vulnerableAnd why life stress absolutely counts when it comes to health and performance

    And then Keely and Corrine address the “Lindsey Vonn controversy,” highlighting the clear double standard in how injured athletes are judged. When men compete through injury, it’s called grit. When women do, it’s labeled reckless or irresponsible.

  • After years at the top of the trail and ultra running worlds—Hardrock 100 champion, Nolan’s 14 FKT holder, and consistent podium finisher—Sabrina Stanley's life changed overnight when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2025. What followed were multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, medical menopause, and ongoing immunotherapy.

    In this conversation with host and friend Corrine Malcolm, Sabrina shares what it's like to navigate cancer while still training as a professional athlete, why ultra running prepared her for treatment, and how redefining success has helped her return to racing at the Arc of Attrition 100—one of the harshest winter ultras in the world.

    She opens up about:
