    299. Matthew Van Schepdael | Elite Speed, Marathon Dreams & Giving Back

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text I'm joined by one of Manitoba's fastest runners and one of its biggest champions, Matt Van Schepdael. Just weeks away from defending his PhD in Microbiology and preparing for his marathon debut at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Matt shares his journey from university track standout to elite road racer. We talk about balancing high-performance sport with academics, the lessons he's learned from his best and toughest races, why giving back to the running community is so important to him, and what excites him most about tackling 42.2K for the very first time. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply looking to find your place in the running community, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation. SPONSOR: goodr sunglasses.

    298. Michelle Baxter | Two Things Can Be True, People!

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Runner, coach, and content creator Michelle Baxter (@therunnersplate) has inspired thousands by sharing her journey to a sub-3 marathon and proving that some of our best running can come after 40. But this season has brought unexpected challenges—including a prolonged recovery after Boston and a race that fell well short of her expectations. In this conversation, Michelle and Carolyn explore the emotional complexity of running, the realities of chasing ambitious goals in your 40s, navigating changing bodies, people-pleasing, social media honesty, and why disappointment and gratitude can coexist. Because sometimes the most honest answer isn't either/or. It's both. SPONSOR: DIG DEEP ENDURANCE FUEL. Use code INSPIRED10 at checkout to save 10% on your online order at digdeepef.com.

    296. Alison McPherson | Introducing Dig Deep Endurance Fuel, the First Dissolvable Carb Stick

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text What if there was a better way to fuel endurance athletes? Alison McPherson is an accomplished marathoner, trail runner, running coach, and co-founder of Dig Deep Endurance Fuel. Just weeks after running 2:47 at the Ottawa Marathon and days removed from a 5th-place finish at the Manitoba Marathon, Ali joins me to share the story behind the world's first dissolvable carbohydrate stick. Alongside her dad, Russell, Ali set out to solve some of the biggest challenges in endurance nutrition: sticky gels, single-use packaging, high costs, and the lack of flexibility for individual athletes. The result is a customizable, convenient, sustainable, and affordable fueling option designed by endurance athletes, for endurance athletes. We dive into the origin story of Dig Deep, the science behind its unique fueling approach, and why Ali believes endurance athletes deserve smarter fuel with a lighter impact.

    295. Johnny Coffin | What Happens When One Runner Is Hitting PRs and the Other Is Hitting the Wall?

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Johnny Coffin returns to Inspired Soles for what has to be his tenth appearance on the podcast, making him an unofficial co-host—and fan favourite. In this episode, Johnny and Carolyn share a training update since the Boston Marathon, including their recoveries, their experiences racing the Ottawa 10K Canadian Championships and Canadian Masters Championships (where both earned bronze medals), and their plans for the upcoming Manitoba Half Marathon. But while Johnny's fitness continues to soar and he chases what could be the fastest half marathon of his life, Carolyn finds herself in unfamiliar territory after months of disappointing performances and ongoing medical investigations. Together, they discuss what it's like when one runner in a relationship is thriving while the other is struggling, how they support each other through the highs and lows, and the lessons they're learning along the way.

    294. Dr. Duane Scotti | The 3 Most Common Marathon Injuries (and How to Treat & Prevent Them)

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text What are the most common injuries marathon runners face—and do you really need to stop running when they happen? In this episode, physical therapist, running coach, and Healthy Runner Podcast host Dr. Duane Scotti returns to Inspired Soles to break down three of the most common injuries he sees in runners: proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT), iliotibial band syndrome (ITB), and Achilles tendinopathy. We discuss what causes these injuries, how to treat them, and most importantly, how to prevent them from derailing your training. Duane also shares why loading tendons is often more effective than stretching them, the dangers of over-striding and transitioning too quickly to zero-drop shoes, plus the simple dynamic warm-up he recommends for masters runners. Whether you're dealing with a nagging injury or hoping to avoid one altogether, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you stay healthy and running strong.

    293. Whitney Heins | Solving the Final 10K Marathon Puzzle

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text Whitney Heins knows a thing or two about chasing big goals. The founder of The Mother Runners, coach, podcast host, mother of two, and 2:54 marathoner has spent years pursuing her marathon potential—and like many of us, she's still trying to crack one of the sport's greatest mysteries: how to truly nail the final 10K. In this conversation, Whitney shares how she went from a 3:15 marathoner to running sub-3, the lessons she's learned through injury setbacks and ambitious goals, how she balances motherhood, business ownership, and competitive running, and what happened when her spring goal marathon was postponed just days before the race. We also dive deep into the marathon puzzle itself, exploring the physical and mental challenges of those final miles and why Whitney believes her best marathon may still be ahead of her. Whether you're chasing a marathon breakthrough or simply trying to balance running with the rest of life, this conversation is packed with wisdom, perspective, and inspiration.

    292. Darolyn Walker | 3:05 at Boston, Multiple Sclerosis, and Redefining What It Means to Be a Runner

    Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a text I’m joined by Winnipeg runner Darolyn Walker for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation about running, resilience, and redefining what success looks like. Darolyn’s story spans more than two decades — from competing at a high level in her university and national track days, to navigating a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in her mid-20s, to raising three children while continuing to train, race, and adapt through unpredictable health challenges. We focus in particular on her remarkable performance at the Boston Marathon, where she ran 3:05:37 while living with MS — a result that sits at the intersection of high level performance and deep gratitude for simply being able to run. But this conversation isn’t really about times or records. It’s about identity, acceptance, letting go of old definitions of success, and finding meaning in movement through changing seasons of life.
