    288. Brant Stachel | The Hard Truths Runners Need to Hear (But Don’t Always Want To)

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Brant Stachel returns for a powerful conversation about the hard truths runners need to hear — and why they matter. A mental performance coach, registered psychotherapist, and author of Fast and Free: Mindset Training for Endurance Athletes, Brant has a unique ability to challenge athletes while still meeting them with empathy and understanding. In this episode, we explore the many counterintuitive principles of endurance training — from slowing down to get faster, to the reality that fitness is built in recovery — along with the uncomfortable patterns that often hold runners back.  This is an honest, thought-provoking conversation about growth, self-awareness, and what it really takes to reach your potential. If you’re ready to think differently about your training, this one’s for you. SPONSOR: Cure Hydration. Staying hydrated isn't just about water — you also need electrolytes. Real ingredients.

    287. Boston Marathon Recap: Gutsy Racing, No Watch & Falling Back in Love with Marathoning

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Johnny is back (basically a co-host at this point) for a  recap from the 130th running of the Boston Marathon. We go deep on everything: training, travel chaos, race weekend energy, my live show with Jeff Cunningham, and of course, the races themselves. Johnny took a bold swing on the early downhills and paid for it with a tough second half, while I ran entirely on effort—no watch—and somehow managed to hit every goal, including a Boston Qualifier. It’s a long one (2:40—same as Johnny’s finish time), a little emotional, and very much a time capsule of a weekend we won’t forget.

    282. Sara Mandershied | A 2:55 and 4:35 Marathoner Should NOT Train the Same

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text What does marathon training really look like across a nearly two-hour performance gap? In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Mandersheid to explore the key differences between coaching a 2:55 and a 4:35 Boston Qualifier. We dig into how factors like time on feet, long runs, workouts, fueling, recovery, and race day strategy should actually scale — and why a one-size-fits-all approach to marathon training often misses the mark. Along the way, Sara shares thoughtful truths about mileage, performance, and what really moves the needle — while also reminding us that joy has a place in the process. Whether you’re chasing a BQ or simply looking to train smarter, this conversation might just change how you think about your running.
