    20 Years of Progress and Bickering in Women’s Fitness Research

    Over the last two decades, women’s fitness research has evolved from being an afterthought to a growing field of interest.

    The Tour de France Femmes, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and Pedaling Through the Double Standard

    Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's win at the 2025 Tour de France Femme was an incredible display of cycling prowess and dominance but also put women's bodies, health, and sporting double standards back under the microscope. Can women just be athletes? Or do they have to always been an athlete AND a model of health.

    Meredith Root | Leadville Trail 100 Recap: The Mayhem, Magic, and Mistakes That Go into a Monster MTB Race

    Meredith JUST completed the Leadville Trail 100 MTB 104 mile mountain bike race in Leadville Colorado. If you think this is a story of success and the power of planning, think again. Leadville is known for its... unknowns. And there were plenty of those. This conversation explores the entire experience of this monumental race through the lens of a very good amateur rider doing her first ever Leadville 100. What makes someone choose Leadville? What makes it so hard? How does it compare to a race like Unbound? And what were the biggest lessons? All of those questions will be answered and more in this candid, open, and detailed conversation. We hope you enjoy! You can find information on the Leadville Race Series here. If you want to learn more about Sagestone Adventure Lodge, click here.

    From Rigidity to Flow: Ease Versus Control

    Do ease and control go together? Or are they inherently different concepts? Why does the western world place such a high value on control and where did that emphasis come from? We discuss cultural, spiritual, and individual influences and how a person develops their own sense of both ease and control. Whether you’re a planner or a go-with-the-flow type, we hope this conversation helps you reflect on your own balance between ease and control while you come away with tools for cultivating both in your life.
