  S4 Ep 15 Sleep Better To Recover Faster with Derek Hales

  Aug 7, 202635 min

  Send us Fan Mail Your recovery doesn’t end when the run does, it starts when you go to bed. I sits down with Derek from NapLab to get practical about sleep quality, soreness, and the one piece of “recovery gear” most of us ignore until it hurts: the mattress. If you wake up with cranky hips, tight shoulders, or a back that taps you out after six hours, we unpack how comfort and support actually work and why there’s no single magic bed for every body. We walk through the modern mattress landscape in plain English: memory foam, traditional coils, hybrids, latex, and even adjustable air beds like Sleep Number. Derek explains what different materials feel like, why some sleepers love a deep contouring hug while others feel trapped, and how pillow height and sleep position can quietly throw your spine out of alignment. We also talk about cooling and temperature regulation, from low-cost changes like sheets and airflow to higher-end water-cooled mattress pads, plus how motion isolation can protect sleep for couples. You’ll hear how NapLab tests mattresses with objective, data-driven methods like thermal imaging for cooling, accelerometers for motion transfer, and high-speed video for foam recovery speed. We also cover real-world buying tips: rotating your mattress, aiming for a long in-home trial period, and a surprising durability factor most people miss, the waterproof mattress protector that keeps nightly moisture from breaking down your bed. If this helps, subscribe, share with a training buddy, and leave a quick rating and review so more runners can sleep better. coaching highlights You can reach out to us at: https://coffeycrewcoaching.com email: Carla@coffeycrewcoaching.com FB @ Over the Next Hill Fitness Group IG @coffeycrewcoaching.com and Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Carlau https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNH 20 https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNHBOGO?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fhydrapatch%C2%AE https://rnwy.life code: OTNH15 https://jambar.com code: CARLA20

  S4 Ep14 What Happens When You Stop Believing Your Limits with Suzan Brydon

  Jul 24, 20261h 3m

  Send us Fan Mail She couldn’t make it through school PE without breaking out in hives, never saw adults “work out” where she grew up, and didn’t run a single 5K until age 42, yet Suzan Brydon now stacks ultras like most of us stack errands. Our conversation traces the real turning points: rural southern Illinois roots, a lifetime of allergies and autoimmune challenges, and the moment her husband, in the middle of cancer treatment, calmly declared he’d run a half marathon. That kind of future-focused grit became the spark Suzan needed to try Couch to 5K and prove that “I’m not athletic” was just an old story. We get specific about what actually helped: structure, medical oversight, dietary changes, and the willingness to be uncomfortable without panicking. Suzan shares how community and fun kept her going, from her first Mo Cowbell half marathon to the pure joy of Disney races. Then the distances grow: marathons, 50Ks, 50 milers, and a bigger mission to run an ultra in all 50 states, with her husband now deep in the ultra world too. She also recaps Denali 135 in Alaska and what it’s like to feel supported when your crew leapfrogs you mile after mile through stunning, isolated scenery. The heart of the episode is purpose-driven endurance. Suzan breaks down her Cigna community ambassador fellowship that powered a 2,000-mile American Discovery Trail run across the Midwest for Girls on the Run, including rural health research and constant community talks. We talk nutrition for ultrarunners, the reality of “trails” that include highways and bushwhacking, safety concerns like dogs, and why giving back publicly can become the mental edge that keeps you finishing. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could do something that sounds impossible, this will nudge you to get curious and take the first step. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a five-star review so more runners can find stories like Suzan’s. coaching highlights You can reach out to us at: https://coffeycrewcoaching.com email: Carla@coffeycrewcoaching.com FB @ Over the Next Hill Fitness Group IG @coffeycrewcoaching.com and Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Carlau https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNH 20 https://hydra-patch.com/discount/OTNHBOGO?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fhydrapatch%C2%AE https://rnwy.life code: OTNH15 https://jambar.com code: CARLA20

  S4 Ep 13 Fixing The Inactivity Pandemic In Kids with Jim Baugh

  Jul 10, 202641 min

  Send us Fan Mail Kids are surrounded by sports, fitness content, and devices yet many still do not learn the basic skills to run, jump, balance, throw, and play with confidence. That gap is bigger than it looks, and it is fueling what my guest Jim Baugh calls the “inactivity pandemic” a quiet crisis affecting kids’ physical health, mental health, and long-term habits. Jim has spent years building Fit America and partnering with schools, and he shares what changed from when we were growing up: daily physical education fades to a few days a week, recess gets cut, PE class sizes balloon, and outdoor neighborhood play nearly disappears. Meanwhile, youth sports often reward the already-skilled and leave the average kid behind. We dig into the hard statistic that about 70% of kids drop out of sports by age 13, and why “not good enough” and “not having fun” are usually symptoms of the same thing: kids never got a fair chance to learn the fundamentals. We also get practical about solutions. Jim walks me through Fit Kids Academy, a new video-based program where kids teach kids through short demos and repeats, using music and visuals that match how children actually learn today. It is built to work in schools, homes, homeschools, camps, clubs, and community groups, with quick “brain breaks,” exercise sessions, and learn-to-play sport skills designed to build confidence, not create superstars. If you care about child fitness, physical literacy, PE support, and the link between movement and mental health, you will leave with clear next steps and helpful links to explore.

  Running Strong At 64 with Mary Ellen Lemieux

  Jun 26, 202647 min

  Send us Fan Mail Your strongest running might not happen in your 20s. It might show up after kids, after career pivots, after moving towns, and after you have learned what your body actually needs. That is why I loved talking with Mary Ellen Lemieux, a lifelong recreational runner who says her running is better now at 64 than it has ever been, even if the pace is slower. We get into the details runners actually wrestle with: why the half marathon hits the perfect balance of challenge and doable, how treadmill running can feel like time slows down, and why run walk can be a great tool and a tricky habit if walking makes you want to keep walking. Mary Ellen also shares her favorite races, from the Flying Pig Half Marathon in Cincinnati to the Steamboat Springs Half Marathon, and what makes great crowd energy and scenery matter when the miles get long. The biggest turning point is fueling and hydration. Mary Ellen tells the story of running the San Francisco half without a plan, bonking hard, and finishing miserable, then coming back the next year with electrolytes and consistent fueling that actually worked for her. We also talk mindset, mental health, and longevity: using running to manage ADHD, letting “a mile is a mile” be enough, and staying in motion so you can keep doing what you love, including skiing. And you will hear the wild, inspiring pandemic challenge that jumpstarted everything: 100 miles in 30 days, completed through heat, wildfire smoke, and pure commitment. If you care about half marathon training, race day strategy, running after 50, and staying active for life, hit play.

  What If The Best Training Plan Is A Vacation with Carmela Dicostanzo-Corkle

  Jun 12, 202639 minS0

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>A lot of people think runners are born, not made. Carmela DiCostanzo-Corkel proves the opposite with a story that starts with a best friend in grade school, turns into half marathon training that felt impossible, and grows into a life built around movement, laughter, and showing up anyway. We talk about why running with someone you trust can be more powerful than any perfect plan, and how a finish line full of strangers cheering your name can change what you believe you’re capable of. <br/><br/>We also get real about what mos...
