Welcome to season 2 Episode 10 of The Fuel Run Recover Podcast where I talk to Samantha Clemens, Clinical Psychologist and Ultra-Runner who shares her story of learning to fuel her body for endurance running while developing a healthier relationship with food and exercise.



Get to know Sam!


Samantha Clemens is a clinical psychologist and co-director of a large mental health clinic in the San Francisco Bay Area. Despite her demanding schedule, she finds solace and joy in her passion for running. This passion began at the age of 18, initially as a means to maintain fitness but quickly evolved into a profound love for the sport.

Samantha's journey in running is marked by significant milestones, including her first 5K and marathon in the same year. From there, she delved deeper into the running world, participating in numerous marathons, half marathons, and even ultra races. Throughout her running
endeavors, Samantha found unwavering support and companionship from her sister, who has been her dedicated running partner. Their most recent adventure took them to Colorado for a challenging 3-day, 60-mile stage race.


Sam's relationship with food has been complex, marked by a history of struggles with dieting and food restriction since childhood. Recognizing the need for a healthier mindset, she sought the guidance of Steph to help her finally make peace with food.
