    My Weekend at the US Trail Running Conference

    I packed my running shoes, headed to Nashville, TN, and spent the weekend surrounded by some of the people helping shape the future of trail running! In this episode of Runnah, I'm recapping my experience at the 2026 US Trail Running Conference, sharing what I learned, the people I connected with, the conversations that stuck with me, and what it's like getting more involved behind the scenes of the sport. From conversations about race directing, accessibility, adaptive athletics, community building, and the future of trail running to exploring Nashville and making new connections, this weekend was a reminder of just how much goes into creating the running community we all love. I'll also talk about some exciting things happening beyond the conference, including my new role as Director of the Cape Cod Trail Race, the importance of making running more inclusive and accessible, and some of the organizations and events doing incredible work in the running world. Because running is about so much more than the miles. It's the people, the opportunities, the conversations, and the communities we build along the way. And yes, there was some Nashville fun mixed in, too!

    I Bought $17 Hoka Cliftons ... Now I'm Trying to Destroy Them

    I've been working on a little secret project, and it's time to let you in on it. My mission? Destroying a pair of HOKA Clifton 9s. Yes, intentionally. Yes, there's a reason. And yes, I scored these shoes for just $17. I'm putting these shoes through the wringer to see what happens, how long they'll last, and just how much running it takes to officially destroy them. But I need YOU to play along! Two questions: What do you think these shoes are actually worth? How many miles do you think I'll get out of them before I completely destroy them? Drop your guesses in the comments. I'm keeping track, and we'll see who gets closest when the experiment is over. The $17 shoe destruction project is officially underway. Let the games begin. 🎙️ Follow Runnah:Instagram: @RunnahPod 🏃 Follow along with me:Instagram: @jellyanna_runs 📩 Contact Runnah:runnahpod@gmail.com

    The Race That Showed Me How Far I've Come: Womp Romp 50K 2026

    Some races are about the finish time. Others are about everything it takes to get to that finish line. In this episode, Ben sits down with me to talk all about my 2026 Womp Romp experience, and why this is genuinely the proudest I've felt about myself after a race. We get into how the race unfolded, what I was feeling physically and mentally, the moments that challenged me, and what made this 50K so different from some of my previous race experiences. I finished 7th woman overall in 5:31, but the result is only a small piece of the story. As someone navigating EDS, ankylosing spondylitis, and the many curveballs that come with running with chronic conditions, being able to show up, stay calm, trust myself, and enjoy the experience meant more than I can really put into a finish time. We talk about the highs, the challenges, the perspective shifts, and why sometimes the biggest race accomplishment has absolutely nothing to do with the clock. Because getting to the finish line is one thing. Feeling genuinely proud of how you got there? That's something else entirely. Thanks to Ben for sitting down with me and letting me relive this one!

    Chronic Illness & Self-Advocacy: You’re Not Difficult for Wanting Answers.

    Living with a chronic illness can be exhausting. Having to fight to be heard, explain your symptoms over and over, or convince someone that your own body is telling you something is wrong? That's a whole other job you never applied for. In this solo episode of Runnah, I’m sharing my biggest tips for advocating for yourself in the healthcare system and in everyday life, based on what I’ve learned through my own experiences navigating chronic illness. We're talking about: Know when to move on. Not every healthcare professional is the right fit for you, and you’re allowed to find someone who listens and takes your concerns seriously.Don't accept gaslighting as the price of getting care. You can be open to different perspectives without dismissing your own experiences.Be kind or neutral when you can. You don't have to turn every difficult interaction into a battle. Protect your energy, stay focused on what you need, and remember that being respectful doesn't mean being a pushover.Document everything. Keep track of symptoms, appointments, questions, test results, and conversations. Having a record can help you recognize patterns and communicate more effectively.Keep going, even when you hit a wall. One frustrating appointment doesn't have to be the end of the road.My biggest takeaway? You can advocate for yourself without being aggressive, you can be kind without accepting poor treatment, and you can move on from a provider who isn't the right fit without feeling guilty. This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness, trying to get answers, supporting someone with a chronic condition, or learning how to speak up for themselves in any part of life. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to ask questions. And you don't have to prove yourself to everyone.
