    Episode 145: Running, Identity, and the Lives We’re Building

    This week, Corrine Malcolm and Keely Henninger step back from training plans to talk about something endurance athletes rarely discuss: how our relationship with running is supposed to change. Corrine reflects on IVF, pregnancy, and becoming a mom, while Keely shares what it feels like to make room for medicine, a demanding new career, and a different version of athletic life. They explore identity, uncertainty, the pressure to be all in or all out, and why allowing sport to evolve doesn’t mean it matters any less. It’s an honest conversation about who we become when the lives we’re building grow bigger than running.

    Episode 144: Access, Innovation, and Adaptive Trail Running with Nicole Ver Kuilen

    This week, Corrine Malcolm is joined by Nicole Ver Kuilen — endurance athlete, cancer survivor, advocate, and National Campaign Lead for So Every BODY Can Move — for a conversation about access, innovation, and what true inclusion in trail running really looks like. They talk about Nicole’s relationship with sport after losing her leg to bone cancer as a child, what drew her to trail running, and the very real barriers adaptive athletes still face long before they ever reach a start line. The two also dig into Nicole’s advocacy work, her recent milestone as Salomon’s first American para athlete, and what it meant to race MaXi-Race while helping shape the future of adaptive trail running through the Salomon Adaptive Project. It’s a thoughtful conversation about representation, equipment, design, and why building a more inclusive sport starts with making movement possible in the first place.
