    11. Nutrition, Eating Right, Gluten Myths & What You Need to Know When Fueling for Endurance with Chloe Mcleod

    In this episode, Dawn sits down with sports dietitian Chloe to break through the noise surrounding nutrition, performance, and the growing influence of diet trends online. From gluten myths and gut health to fueling endurance athletes and supporting teenage performers, this conversation delivers practical, science-backed insights for athletes, parents, and anyone wanting to build a healthier relationship with food. They explore the real difference between coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity, and carbohydrate intolerance, why “gluten-free” doesn’t automatically mean healthier, and how marketing continues to shape food choices more than science. The discussion also dives into how hormonal changes can affect female athletes, why fasted training may not be appropriate for many individuals, and how energy needs shift depending on training demands and life stage. Dawn and Chloe also tackle important cultural issues surrounding body image, the impact of commenting on body size, and how parents can help children develop positive relationships with food by involving them in cooking, encouraging balance, and removing the idea of “good” and “bad” foods. The episode finishes with powerful lessons learned from years of working with endurance athletes, including real-world fueling mistakes, the importance of professional guidance, and why having the right support team can make or break performance outcomes. Whether you’re an endurance athlete, a parent of a young athlete, or simply someone wanting to better understand how to fuel your body, this episode provides clear, practical takeaways to help you perform, recover, and live healthier.

    10. The Story of RunAsOne: Building The Whole Runner, Not Just Results with Riley Cocks

    In this episode of Heartbeats & Sidesteps, Dawn Beaumont sits down with Riley Cocks, co-founder of RunAsOne, to explore what great coaching really looks like beyond programs, pace charts, and kilometres logged. Riley shares why coaching is as much about intuition as it is about experience, and how knowing what to say, when to say it, and how to say it can make all the difference. From working with complete beginners to elite and Olympic-level athletes, Riley unpacks the art of reading people, building trust, and creating environments where runners can thrive at every stage. The conversation dives into community versus ego, why high performance can be both powerful and isolating, and how RunAsOne and the Runhouse were built to support athletes through training, injury, recovery, and life outside running. Riley also opens up about leadership, staying level through success and criticism, learning when to push and when to pull back, and why positivity when it’s genuine is one of the strongest tools a coach can have. Whether you’re new to running, considering a coach, or deep in the performance space, this episode offers honest insight into how to approach running sustainably, intentionally, and with heart.
