#2 Ohio to Olympic Trials: Felicia Pasadyn

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

jeudi 1 janvier 2026 • Durée 01:19:50

Felicia Pasadyn is a 2:35 marathoner, former Olympic Trials swimmer, and current NYU medical student who returned to elite-level running by doing almost everything differently than the standard marathon playbook.

In this conversation, Felicia talks about growing up in Brunswick, Ohio, competing at Harvard and Ohio State, and how her background in swimming shaped her approach to training, strength work, and injury management. We get into her unconventional buildup to the New York City Marathon, including managing an Achilles issue days before the race and what it was like lining up and racing in the pro field.

Felicia also reflects on finishing NYC, the disbelief that followed, and the online debate around her training methods. We talk fueling, community support, balancing medical school with high-level training, her decision to pursue radiology, and how she sees AI playing a role in future patient care.

A wide-ranging conversation about durability, adaptation, and building a sustainable path in both running and life.

About This Podcast

Saison 1

mercredi 31 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:02

Most conversations about running focus on performance.
Times. Results. The highlight reel.

Early Miles is a long-form conversation podcast about how runners are shaped over time, not just how they perform on race day.

Some episodes center on personal stories. Others dive deep with experts. And some are driven by questions from the running community.

Hosted by physical therapist and runner Steve Gonser, the show explores the early decisions, struggles, failures, pivots, and quiet habits that compound when no one is watching. From everyday runners to coaches, clinicians, and researchers, Early Miles sits at the intersection of storytelling, real conversation, and science-backed thinking you can actually apply.

If running is part of who you are, you’re in the right place.

#4 Training for Spring Races

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

vendredi 30 janvier 2026 • Durée 47:26

In this episode, we break down how to structure half or full marathon training so we can build fitness without breaking down. We use the idea of three training “levers” — duration, frequency, and effort — and explain why pulling more than one at the same time is where many runners get hurt. We talk about giving ourselves a long enough training runway, spending the first 50–70% of a plan focused on base building and conversation-pace running, and being careful not to overload our weeks with too much speed work too early. The goal isn’t to crush every workout — it’s to stay consistent, avoid injury, and arrive at race day feeling strong and confident.

We also cover smart long-run progression, why big spikes in mileage raise injury risk, and how a simple two-weeks up, one-week down structure helps the body adapt. Along the way, we get into practical topics like adjusting for winter running conditions, practicing race fueling during long runs, improving recovery with carbs plus protein after workouts, and adding efficient strength training to build durability. Whether we’re training for our first marathon or our tenth, this episode is all about making training fit real life, protecting our bodies, and building a sustainable relationship with running for years to come.

#5 Don't Call It a Comeback: Keira D'Amato

vendredi 13 février 2026 • Durée 01:35:28

Keira D'Amato joins Early Miles to unpack one of the most unconventional journeys in American distance running. From five-time Virginia state champion to collegiate All-American at American University, her early trajectory pointed toward elite competition—until injuries, burnout, and an insurance-denied surgery led her to step away from the sport entirely. Nearly a decade later, after marriage, motherhood, and a full professional career, she returned to running with a 90-second effort that would ultimately evolve into an American record in the marathon.

In this conversation, she details the mindset shift that fueled her second chapter: embracing failure, prioritizing long-term consistency, rebuilding strength after injury, and redefining success beyond results. She discusses Olympic Trials disappointment, racing strategy, aging as an elite athlete, training adaptations in her 40s, and the value of structured development over chasing quick gains. For runners at any level, this episode reinforces a core principle—progress is built through patience, resilience, and the courage to start again.

In this conversation, Jeffrey Durmer discusses his journey from athlete to sleep expert, explores the evolution of sleep medicine, the impact of consumer technology on sleep tracking, and the significance of heart rate variability (HRV). He emphasizes the effects of sleep deprivation, cultural attitudes towards sleep, and strategies for optimizing sleep for athletic performance, including the importance of circadian rhythms and food timing. In this conversation, Dr. Jeffrey Durmer discusses the significance of chronotypes in determining sleep patterns, the importance of recovery sleep for athletes, and the impact of mood on sleep quality. He emphasizes the benefits of light therapy for enhancing mood and performance, and outlines best practices for creating a sleep-friendly environment. The discussion also covers the effects of alcohol and diet on sleep and concludes with insights into the future of sleep monitoring and the integration of AI to personalize sleep health.

#7 Going All In: Joe Whelan

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 10 mars 2026 • Durée 01:07:32

Joe Whelan’s path to 2:09 was not linear. From breaking his kneecap in college to battling recurring stress fractures, he spent years navigating setbacks, under-recovery, and training imbalances. After stepping away from the sport and later returning through self-coached marathon builds, Whelan steadily rebuilt his engine—learning how fueling, sleep, controlled volume progression, and smarter intensity distribution separated 2:15 fitness from 2:09 performance.
In this episode, he breaks down the mindset shift that fueled his breakthrough, the decision to leave full-time work to prioritize recovery, and the tactical execution behind his course-record win at the Austin Marathon. Whelan also reflects on Olympic Trials preparation, pacing discipline, race-day strategy, and his goal of climbing into the top 15 all-time U.S. marathon performances as he builds toward 2028.

#8 Underfueling with Shannon Wilson MS RDN CDN CDCES CSSD

lundi 23 mars 2026 • Durée 01:05:42

In this episode, we sit down with registered sports dietitian Shannon Wilson to break down the most common fueling mistakes runners make—starting with chronic underfueling. Together, they outline practical ways runners can match intake to training load, recognize red flags of low energy availability, and shift away from weight-loss goals during a marathon build to reduce injury risk and protect performance.

The conversation also covers simple, repeatable strategies for long-run prep, carb loading, and during-run fueling—plus how to trial gels, candy, and drink mixes to find what works. We close with recovery basics, including post-run timing, sleep-supportive nutrition habits, and a realistic approach to supplements and caffeine for runners who want better consistency without overcomplicating the process.

#10 Pushing the Limit with Ethan Shuley

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 01:34:36

We recorded this episode at 5 a.m. to catch Ethan Shuley while he’s in Japan living and training.

Before running 2:07 and landing one of the top 10 fastest U.S. marathon times, Ethan’s start in the sport wasn’t what you’d expect. He talks through the early days of struggling to keep up, skipping races, and not enjoying running… and the moments that shifted his mindset.

In this conversation, we get into:

His early experience with running and what almost pushed him away from the sport
The turning point that changed how he approached training
What his current setup looks like training in Japan
How his perspective on effort, consistency, and competition evolved

This is a look at what actually shaped one of the fastest marathoners in the U.S. right now.
