Episode 151: Building Your Team and Finding the Right Coach
This week, Corrine Malcolm and Hillary Allen dig into one of the most important — and sometimes overlooked — parts of an athlete’s support system: finding the right coach. They talk about what actually makes a good coach-athlete fit, from communication and collaboration to goal alignment, professionalism, and whether a coach is truly invested in you as a person rather than just your performance.They also explore the red flags that can emerge once a coaching relationship is underway, why athletes should pay attention to how a coach responds when things get hard, and what it looks like when a relationship simply reaches its natural end. Plus, they walk through what to do if a coach exits at a difficult moment, how to rebuild trust in a new coach, and why self-advocacy and a broader support team can make all the difference.It’s a practical conversation about building the right team around you, asking better questions early, and remembering that you’re allowed to want a coaching relationship that actually fits.Follow Us:Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at https://www.probionutrition.com/rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: SEPTEMBERTRAIL10 for 10% off.

Episode 150: Chelsea Sodaro on Motherhood, Ambition, and Unlocking Yes
This week, Corrine Malcolm sits down with Chelsea Sodaro, Ironman World Champion, mother, and founder of Unlocking Yes, for an honest conversation about what happens when the things you want most in life seem to compete with one another. Chelsea traces her path from professional running to triathlon, the decision to become a mother at the height of her athletic career, and the uncertainty that came with wondering what pregnancy might mean for her future in sport.They also dig into the much messier reality behind Chelsea’s remarkable postpartum return and 2022 Ironman World Championship win — from breastfeeding and childcare challenges to serious mental health struggles that existed alongside tremendous professional success. Chelsea shares what she learned about the support athletes actually need, why maternity policies are only the beginning, and how projects like Unlocking Yes are helping her turn her own experience into something bigger.It’s a thoughtful conversation about motherhood, ambition, identity, and what sport could look like if women didn’t have to be extraordinary just to have the freedom to choose more than one thing.Follow Us:FeistyFest Details and Registration: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at https://www.probionutrition.com/rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: SEPTEMBERTRAIL10 for 10% off.

Episode 149: The Runner’s Guide to Strength Training
This week, Corrine Malcolm and Keely Henninger dig into one of the most common questions they hear from endurance athletes: how should runners actually strength train? They break down why lifting can improve running economy, force production, muscle recruitment, tendon strength, and durability — and why those benefits matter just as much for ultrarunners as they do for athletes chasing faster speeds.They also get practical about what strength training should actually look like, including how often to lift, where to fit it into a running week, why heavier weights and lower reps may offer runners more benefit than endless high-rep exercises, and how plyometrics and eccentric work can prepare the body for the demands of technical trails and long descents. Plus, they talk about fueling for muscle adaptation and why strength becomes even more important across different stages of life, including perimenopause and menopause.It’s a science-heavy but highly practical conversation about getting stronger, running more efficiently, and building a body that can keep doing this sport for the long haul.Follow Us:FeistyFest Details and Registration: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/Women's Mechanic Camp in Tucson: https://livefeisty.com/events/bike-mechanic-school-tucson/Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at https://www.probionutrition.com/rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: SEPTEMBERTRAIL10 for 10% off.

Episode 148: Sabrina Pace-Humphreys on Representation, Responsibility, and the Return to UTMB
This week, Corrine Malcolm is joined by Sabrina Pace-Humphreys to talk about two kinds of endurance: returning to UTMB after a heartbreaking race, and continuing the long-term work of making trail running a more inclusive sport.They talk about what Sabrina learned from last year’s UTMB, why she’s coming back, and how her work with Black Trail Runners has shaped the way she thinks about belonging, representation, and responsibility. It’s a thoughtful conversation about resilience, community, and what happens when an athlete who spends so much time creating space for others asks what she wants for herself.Sabrina's Website: https://sabrinapacehumphreys.com/Sabrina's book: Start Where You Are (The Beginner’s 5k Running Guide for Women)Follow Us:FeistyFest Details and Registration: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/Women's Mechanic Camp in Tucson: https://livefeisty.com/events/bike-mechanic-school-tucson/Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at https://www.probionutrition.com/rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: SUMMERTRAIL for 10% off.

Episode 147: RED-S, Recovery, and the Stress We Don’t Count
This week, after a Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift debrief, Corrine Malcolm and Hillary Allen take on RED-S and low energy availability through Hillary’s own recent experience with injury and recovery. What started as overreaching and under-recovery became a bigger lesson in how training stress, work stress, life changes, sleep, fueling, and healing all draw from the same finite pool of energy.They talk about:why RED-S can affect athletes at any sizewhy it isn’t synonymous with disordered eatinghow low energy availability can slow injury recoveryand why even athletes who understand the science can still miss the signs in themselves.It’s a candid, practical conversation about listening sooner, fueling enough, and learning that stress is stress — no matter where it comes from.Forbes Article: Why It Took 119 Years To Build A Tour de France For WomenFollow Us:FeistyFest Details and Registration: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/Women's Mechanic Camp in Tucson: https://livefeisty.com/events/bike-mechanic-school-tucson/Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at https://www.probionutrition.com/rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: SUMMERTRAIL for 10% off.
