Mary McCarthy isn't just a content creator who runs, she's putting down 60-mile weeks and running elite-level times without a professional setup.In this episode, she explains why she runs her easy days genuinely slow, treats the first 30K of a marathon as a warm-up before racing the final 12, and why your Strava heart rate zones are probably lying to you.She talks about fueling like her male training partners because under-eating is a direct route to injury, shares the brilliant story of overtaking her ex-boyfriend in the final 200 meters at Valencia without him even knowing, and addresses the criticism that comes with being a content creator running serious mileage.Her message to the critics: you can't judge someone's training from the outside, the same way you wouldn't judge someone else's relationship.Better Help 👉 Join Spencer in Saying It Louder with 10% off Betterhelp Therapy.

Are athletes born or built? This episode dives into the nature vs. nurture debate, exploring why the Human Genome Project proved there's no single gene for speed or disease, and why 99.1% of our DNA is identical.We break down how genes like ACTN3 can give elite athletes a head start in muscle repair and VO2 max, but never guarantee greatness. Through epigenetics, we reveal how your lifestyle and environment are the real switches, using Spencer's own journey from alcohol abuse to elite marathon runner as proof.The bottom line: for the average person, consistency beats genetics every time. Your DNA only becomes the deciding factor at the very top. Who you choose to be matters more than what you were born with.Better Help 👉 Join Spencer in Saying It Louder with 10% off Betterhelp Therapy.
