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. In this episode, we explore how science is finally catching up with the female body, the double-edged sword of social media, the legacy of early contributors, and what gaps still need to be filled. If you care about evidence-based training, women’s health, and the truth behind the trends, this one’s for you!

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!
