    97a | Inside a Run Coaching Call: Luana's Road to Grandma's Marathon 2026 (Part 1 of 3) THE BUILD

    Throughout this call I share my screen and give a real inside look at TrainingPeaks — the app I use to build and manage all of my athletes' training plans. We reference specific workouts and the training calendar directly, which you can only see if you're watching. Audio listeners will still get everything, but if you want the full picture head over to our YouTube channel at youtube.com/@weget2dothis You've heard about run coaching calls before — way back in Episode 12 we did a fly-on-the-wall style call with athlete David. Well, we're doing it again, and this time we're taking it even further. This is Part 1 of a three-part series following my athlete Luana Ciccarelli through her full build, race week, and post-race recap for Grandma's Marathon 2026. What you're hearing is a real maintenance/pre-race coaching call — no script, no edits, just me and Luana five weeks out from race day. I'm Coach Jacob Oak of Oak Endurance — a Minneapolis-based endurance coaching company offering run coaching, strength training, and one-on-one athlete support. Luana has been an Oak Endurance athlete for about four years — working with me on both run coaching and strength — and this series is a real, unfiltered look at what that relationship and process actually looks like. Luana is 49 years old and Grandma's will be somewhere around her 19th or 20th marathon. She works a full-time desk job, she's a mom, she's been sober for 16 years, and she might be in the best shape of her running life right now. In this call we get into the physical stuff — training blocks, peak mileage, fueling, plantar fasciitis, and race pace strategy for a sub-4:15 goal. But we also go deep on the mental side of endurance sports: the psychology of control, what happens when your identity gets wrapped up in a race result, and how to actually build a healthy long-term relationship with running. Part 2 is race week. Part 3 is the full recap. Come back for all of it. This call is specific to Luana and her current training cycle. Every coaching call looks a little different depending on the athlete and their goals. Interested in working with me at Oak Endurance?

    95 | Dr. Spencer Lindholm | "Pain Is the Last Thing to Arrive & the First Thing to Go"

    This week we headed down to Eden Prairie, Minnesota to sit down with Dr. Spencer Lindholm, sports chiropractor and owner of Great North Athletics — and honestly, the gym space alone was worth the trip. Spencer has over a decade of experience in sports injury, rehabilitation, and performance training, and he's built his practice around one core belief: if you have a body, you're an athlete, and movement is medicine. In this episode, we get into what personalized, whole-person care actually looks like in practice — and why the traditional model of rushing people in and out the door just doesn't cut it when you're trying to figure out why someone keeps getting hurt. Spencer breaks down the most common running form issues he sees (hint: your posterior chain is probably not working as hard as you think it is), why load management errors are behind the majority of training-related injuries, and how he thinks about gait retraining without throwing your whole training plan out the window. We also talk about the real cost of skipping the basics — sleep, hydration, stress — and how no amount of red light therapy or cold plunging is going to save you if your foundation is cracked. Spencer is refreshingly direct about all of it, and brings the kind of nerdy, puzzle-solving energy that makes you want to go get a full movement assessment immediately. Whether you're a runner dealing with a nagging injury, someone who's been told "just don't do that anymore," or a practitioner trying to do better for your patients — this one is worth your time. ***** Keep up with Spencer and Great North Athletics: Instagram: @greatnorthathletics Website: Great North Athletics ***** Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@weget2dothispod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email us questions/comments at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weget2dothis@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Check out the video portion of our show at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@weget2dothis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For business information hit up the links below: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Kailee Acupuncture Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oak Endurance Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Reviews go SUCH A LONG WAY and it would mean the world to us if you took a second out of your busy life to leave one :) ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠: follow the show, tap the three dots near the podcast title, then tap rate show ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠: follow the show, scroll to the bottom to Ratings and Reviews, then leave stars or write a review ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠: subscribe and drop a comment on the episode Thank you for being here.

    93 | Tiffany Farrar, LPCC | Who Are You Outside of Your Sport? Identity, Resilience & Mental Performance

    This week we sat down with Tiffany Farrar, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Founder of Confluence Counseling in St. Paul, MN — and someone who brings a rare combination of clinical mental health expertise and a deep love for sport. Tiffany works with individual athletes, collegiate teams, and everyday people navigating the messy intersection of performance and mental wellness. In this episode, we dig into what it really means to build mental toughness — not just grit your teeth through hard things, but actually train your mind the way you train your body. We talk about the danger of tying your whole identity to one sport or activity, and why knowing who you are outside of your sport might be the most important thing you can do before an injury ever happens. We also get into the science behind suppressed emotions and how they show up in the body, why Tiffany thinks "lazy" is a lazy word, and what an approach mindset actually looks like in the middle of a brutal 400-meter repeat. Tiffany also gets personal, sharing her own experience with cancer and broken feet — and what rebuilding looked like on the other side. Rather than glossing over the hard parts, she talks about what it took to stop comparing her comeback to who she used to be, sit with the grief of lost time, and eventually find genuine excitement in showing up again. Her story is proof that the tools she teaches aren't just clinical — they're lived. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or just someone trying to get out of their own head, this one is packed with practical tools and honest conversation.

    92 | Your Questions Answered 03 | Fueling, Favorite Shoes & The People Who Shaped Our Running Journeys

    We’re back with another listener Q&A episode and this one covers a little bit of everything. We talk through fueling and gel strategies for long runs and marathons, our favorite running watches and shoes, how Kailee got faster over the years, and what consistency actually looks like in the long term. We also dive into trail running, plated shoes, strength training, recovery, and the people who’ve had the biggest impact on our running journeys. From marathon fueling tips to emotional reflections on why we run in the first place, this one feels like sitting down and catching up with the community. ***** If this episode brought you any comfort, perspective, or energy, we would be so grateful if you took a moment to support the show.

    91 | Timothy Borowski | Unlocking What’s Stuck: Health, Stress, and the Patterns We Don’t See

    This episode hits a little different. We sit down with Tim Borowski, naturopath, wellness entrepreneur, and founder of Axon Movement, for a conversation that goes way beyond surface-level health advice. Tim’s work is centered around one idea:finding and unlocking what is stuck. Whether that’s chronic pain, long-standing health issues, or patterns in the nervous system that haven’t responded to anything else, Tim takes a systems-based approach to uncover root causes and create real change. We dive into: Why so many people feel like they’ve “tried everything” but still aren’t getting betterThe role of the nervous system in performance, stress, and recoveryWhy fixing symptoms isn’t always the same as solving the problemThe connection between mindset, physiology, and daily lifeWhat “health” actually means and if there’s even a clear answerWe also get into the gray areas of health. The stuff that isn’t always black and white. Where science, experience, intuition, and individuality all overlap. This conversation moves from practical to philosophical in the best way. It is one of those episodes that makes you pause, reflect, and maybe even question some of the things you’ve always believed about training, recovery, and what it means to actually feel good. Not just how you’re training… but how you’re living. And maybe more importantly, how it all feels right now.

    90 | WG2CU 06 | 10 Life Updates From Us Heading Into Wedding Month!

    We’re officially one month out from getting married… so yeah, life is feeling full in the best and most chaotic way. In this WG2CU episode, we’re catching you up with 10 life updates as we head into wedding month. Technically… it’s 5 updates, but you’re getting both of our perspectives on each one, so we’re calling it 10 🙂 We kick things off with where we’re at heading into the wedding, what’s been exciting, what’s been stressful, and everything in between. From there, we dive into training and racing. Jacob shares his recent half marathon breakthrough and what it felt like to finally hit a goal after a long plateau. Kailee talks through her marathon build, the shift from ultras to road racing, and the mindset change that’s helped her fully lean into chasing a time goal. We also get into becoming debt free, business growth on both sides, and what it actually looks like to balance all of this at once. And like always, we keep it real. Stress, saying no, body image, and the pressure that can come with growth all come up in this one. A fun, honest, and very real snapshot of life right now.

    89 | Joe McMahan | "I’d Regret It For The Rest Of My Life If I Didn’t Try"

    Welcoming back Joe McMahan to the We Get 2 Do This Podcast! Joe McMahan is back on the podcast over a year after his first appearance (episode 26). Joe is a running coach, content creator, and the founder of Azoia Endurance, a nutrition company built around simple, real ingredients for endurance athletes. Over the past year, he’s been building his brand, coaching runners, growing an online presence, and working through the very real challenges of scaling a product from the ground up. And a lot has changed. New city. New chapter. New challenges. And a whole lot of growth in between. We talk about what it actually looks like to build something from the ground up when things don’t go according to plan. Joe opens up about the reality of trying to scale Azoia, hitting roadblocks with manufacturing, and navigating the mental side of entrepreneurship when the path forward isn’t clear. This conversation goes way beyond business. We get into the pressure of chasing big goals, the tension between ambition and being present, and what it means to build a life you actually enjoy while you’re in the middle of building it. We also dive into: What’s changed since Joe’s first time on the podcastThe behind-the-scenes challenges of growing a product from scratchWhy “hard” might actually be a sign you’re onto something meaningfulThe balance between content, connection, and authenticityLearning to be where your feet are while still chasing moreThe reality of entrepreneurship that most people don’t shareRelationships, future family, and redefining successThere’s a moment in this episode where Joe says he’d regret it for the rest of his life if he didn’t at least try.... ...and that's really what this episode is about. ***** All things Joe McMahan + Azoia are below!
