    Episode 129: The science of cognitive fatigue in running

    Researcher and runner Katherine Boere joins Corinne 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.

    Episode 127: Strong As a Mother with Jess Dorrington and Shannon Rowbury

    Olympic medalist Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health physical therapist Jess Dorrington join Corinne 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.

    Episode 125: Why do some athletes choke on the world's biggest stage?

    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.
