Mary Cain on REDs, Period Health, and Why Sports Should Be Healthcare - This Is Not About Running

Osteitis Pubis Postpartum Experience with Coach Becky Anthony
"Once I started doing more core work...prescribed to me by a pelvic floor DPT, and what everyone says you should be doing after pregnancy...I was feeling pain," shares Lane 9 Coach Becky Anthony, head coach and owner of Taylored Training Run. Becky shares her story with a rare injury, osteitis pubis, which she was diagnosed with around three months postpartum. She was working with a physical therapist (DPT) on a return to run program, and had tried to check the boxes before getting back to the sport. But something felt wrong, and painful. And it took a little while to get an accurate diagnosis, and even longer before she was able to run again. No two postpartum experiences are the same, even for one person. Becky shares this in hopes of helping the next parent build their care team—starting with nutrition, working with a DPT and a coach, etc.—and reminding parents to advocate for themselves, and their care. Connect with Becky through the Lane 9 Directory, at Lane9project.org/directory. Follow her coaching online at @tayloredtrainingrun, on Instagram. Find a sports dietitian, DPT, and other healthcare providers who know how to support you, the athlete and (maybe also) the parent, by going to Lane9project.org/directory.

Nutrition: Signs You're Actually Eating Enough as an Athlete (and How to do That!), with Dietitian KC Stockmon
"The [symtpoms] of under-fueling, and REDs, make it a lot harder to meet your [calorie] needs," shares dietitian KC Stockmon. "It's kind of this vicious cycle." We're here to talk about how many calories an athlete actually needs to be eating, WHY it's important to eat enough, and the symptoms of under-fueling. The problem is, under-fueling is so common in athletics that athletes are quick to dismiss their symptoms as just "part of training". When actually, if the body has the energy—aka calories—that it needs to function well *and* recover from your training sessions, you might feel great. You just don't know what you don't know. That's why we're here, in Lane 9, with reminders to eat enough, fuel before during and after training sessions, and connect with sport-specialized healthcare providers when you need to!

Eating Disorder History, Stress Fractures, and Finally Fueling Enough for a Big Marathon PR with Amy Sams
" I also learned the hard way. I did pay the price for several years. I had a lot of injuries, and I was in the stress fracture cycle for seven years. And that was a wake-up call. It really showed me you're not invincible and, and you're gonna have to really learn how to do this differently," shares longtime Lane 9 supporter and community member, Amy Sams. Amy reached out to Lane 9 last Fall seeking support from a dietitian in our Directory, finally ready to fueling adequately as she approached the California Internation Marathon in December (2025), with the goal to break 2:50 for the first time. And, a little spoiler: She did it! Amy has spent decades navigating her history with an eating disorder, struggling with fueling and rest, and multiple bone stress injuries. She has run 25 marathons, but now feels like she's really tapping into her potential. Meanwhile, she reminds herself, she's "allowed to be a work in progress."

What young athletes need to know: Periods, bone injuries, and eating enough with DPT and Coach Bethany Brausen
"It took me several injuries to really figure out...this is going to keep happening unless I do something big about it," shares coach and DPT Bethany Brausen, a member of the Lane 9 Membership and clinical directory. And we want to help young athletes figure those things out a lot sooner, so they have more fun training and competing, tap into their athletic potential, and/or find longevity in the sports they love. This conversation covers periods, bone stress injuries, team culture and conversations about fueling and menstrual health, when to pause training or take seasons off if an athlete isn't menstruating, and how to connect with a clinical care team when needed. Bethany Brausen is a a Minnesota-based board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist and doctor of physical therapy. She's also a running coach for a high school cross country team. We talk about her experience as an athlete, and how she's taking what she learned, combined with her clinical expertise, to create healthier training and performance environments for her team.

Athlete Perfectionism & Exploring Self-Worth in Sports with Dr. Savannah Landis
"Being the best is not the end all be all. And can you have self-confidence [in sport] without being the best?" Dr. Savannah Landis, Lane 9 Clinician, asks us to consider how perfectionism shows up in our sport experiences, and how to nurture a sense of self in and outside of sport, for athletes at all ages. Dr. Savannah Landis is a licensed clinical and sports psychologist specializing in treating athletes with eating disorders as well as mental health issues regarding perfectionism, self-esteem, and identitiy. She was a competitive swimmer in college, and works with athletes at all levels of sport as they navigate the highs and lows.

Molly Huddle: Pregnancy fears, support systems, and how SHE has navigated training with two kids
"I was honestly terrified of [pregnancy]. I feel like whenever I looked around in the sport, I didn't see it. And if someone did get pregnant, it seemed like they disappeared. And if they came back, it seemed like it was against all odds," Molly Huddle shares with the Lane 9 Podcast. She is a 2x Olympian, has competed in six Olympic Trials throughout her career, and has run professionally with Saucony for 20 years. She has set multiple American Records, including the 5K, 10K, 10-miler and half-marathon, a few of which she still holds. And she was one of the first athletes to benefit from the Dream Maternity Campaign—activism organized around protecting pregnant and postpartum athletes with clauses in their professional contracts, instead of pausing their pay and their support. Molly is candid with us about the fears she held around pregnancy and returning to high level racing, the injuries she has navigated in her postpartum training, how hard it is to breastfeed and eat enough and train for races, the support systems she has in place, and how she's embracing the things she cannot do right now (like, keep a really clean house—not a priority!). She's working on a new book, and shares more about that, too! If you're looking for support as a pregnant or postpartum athlete, head to Lane9Project.org/directory to connect with a Lane 9 clinician.
