In today's episode, we speak with Renee Kiley about...
Her transformation from smoking a pack of cigarettes a day to competing as a pro triathlete
Her nutrition pre-race, race fueling strategy, and post-race recovery
About Renee: In January 2014, I was 104kg (230lbs), smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and the owner of multiple successful small businesses. I was obsessed with work, unhealthy, unhappy, and hadn’t exercised for over 15 years.
In March 2014, I competed in my first triathlon. Prior to this I had not ridden a bike or swam since primary school and I had never run more than a few kilometers without stopping my entire life. During 2014 I lost 44kgs (97lbs) and completely turned my life around.
I have had incredible progression and one that is very unique in the world of professional sport. I finished 252nd in that first sprint distance triathlon. I went on to do my first Ironman in 2015 where I won my age group. As an amateur athlete between 2014 and 2017 I was a regular winner and podium finisher in my category across all distances from Sprint to Ironman.
In just my first two years in the sport I had already competed at the Ironman World Championships (Kona) twice.
In late 2017 I turned professional. In 2020 I achieved my first Ironman podium result as a pro, finishing 3rd at the Ironman Asia-Pacific Championships in Cairns. I finished 2nd at Ironman Hamburg in 2021 (just 2 minutes behind the winner), qualified and competed at both ironman World Championships in 2022 and rarely finish out of the Top 5 in any race locally or internationally.
I am doing what most people who work in high performance say should not be possible. Regularly beating women who have competed at Olympic level or who have been lifetime athletes.
I am committing everything to becoming one of the best female Iron distance athletes in the world. And along the way, of huge importance to me is to use my profile and story to inspire as many people as possible of how they can completely transform their life through sport.

In today's episode, we speak with Peter Stetina about...
His favorite supplements
Why and how he uses his favorite supplements
His FKT experience on the White Rim Trail
Pete has over a decade of elite road racing under his belt with races such as the Tour de France, and as such has benefitted from learning the most effective fueling strategies. But the biggest splash he made was being the first rider to jump away from the World Tour to pursue the Gravel racing scene, creating a template for others to follow this alternative professional model. As expected, the nutritional demands for self sufficient gravel racing is very different than the professionally supported World Tour model.

Her mental health journey as a pro athlete
Her go-to race day recipes
Her favorite supplements for performance
Her experience with body image and "lighter is faster"
Her current training and nutrition strategies
Her travel nutrition tips
About Maddy: I am a Canadian Olympian, pro 400/4x400m sprinter, motivational speaker, mentor, and advocate for athlete mental health.
My road to Tokyo and running full-time was filled with uncertainty as I dealt with my dad’s passing from cancer months after missing the 2016 Rio Olympic Team, coming back from foot surgery 12 months out from Tokyo 2020, and then the global pandemic, Olympic postponement, and its challenges.
Despite the odds, I helped lead our Women’s 4x400m relay team to a 4th place finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, just narrowly missing the podium and Canadian Record by six-tenths of a second.
Far more important than the accomplishment of becoming an Olympian is how I approached the process... with a gritty and “day by day” attitude.

In this episode we talk with ultra endurance swimmer Catherine Breed about:
Her recent feat of becoming the 1st person to swim the Tahoe Water Trail consecutively (60 miles), and how she navigates nutrition and hydration in and out of the water
Her upcoming adventure - Swim California - where she'll tackle swimming the entire coastline of California
What she does out of the water to stay fit, and what strategies she employs to be successful in the water
Starting Sea Dreamers to open doors for women to get involved in ocean activities through community, inclusivity, empowerment and education surrounding ocean conservation.
Catherine Breed is an ultra endurance athlete and waterwoman, who began marathon swimming in 2017. She was always drawn to the water, and her passion has led her to travel all over the world to explore new events and adventures, including her incredible recent feat of becoming the first person to consecutively swim the 72-mile Lake Tahoe Water Trail in 2025. She is now training on a massive endeavor to swim the entire coastline of California with her Swim California 2026 endeavor. An adventure that she estimates will take her 3 to 4 months.
Catherine swam for UC Berkeley, where she was part of a 2x NCAA championship team, and the US National Team before transitioning out of the pool to join the Dolphin Club after college. The Dolphin Club introduced her to cold water, long distances and a strong sense of community. It was there she started coming up with her big goals, and where she began really pushing the limits of endurance swimming. She holds records for women in swimming the length of Lake Tahoe, Apache Lake, Roosevelt Lake, as well as overall records of the Monterey Bay Swim, Round Trip Angel Island, and was the first to swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to Half Moon Bay.

In today's episode, we speak with Peter Stetina about how his nutrition and hydration game plans have changed between his pro careers in road cycling and gravel cycling.
Pete has over a decade of elite road racing under his belt with races such as the Tour de France, and as such has benefitted from learning the most effective fueling strategies. But the biggest splash he made was being the first rider to jump away from the World Tour to pursue the Gravel racing scene, creating a template for others to follow this alternative professional model. As expected, the nutritional demands for self sufficient gravel racing is very different than the professionally supported World Tour model.

In today's episode, we speak with Hillary Allen about her love for sky running and trail running, and how she fuels for these challenging courses. We'll also dive into how her nutrition changed after her life-threatening injury.
About Hillary Allen: My career as an endurance athlete has not been straightforward. Through injury, setbacks and being told I would never run again, I’ve had to re-think what I consider impossible, as I continued to push myself, believing in my best athletic days ahead.
Early in my career, I earned the nickname “Hillygoat” for my love of the uphill and my ability to run fast on steep, technical mountain terrain – a style of running known as Skyrunning. I won the US SkyRunner Series in 2014 in my debut season and since then, I have raced all over the world, racking up wins and course records, establishing myself as one of the best mountain ultra runners in the world.
In 2017 I had a life threatening accident, where I fell 150 feet off of a ridge-line during a Skyrace in Tromsø, Norway. I broke a total of 14 bones and I was told I would never run again – let alone compete at the elite level. After several years of rehab and recovery, I made a full recovery and returned to elite level racing, running some of my longest and most challenging races post-accident.
I maintain the belief that ‘your best athletic days are ahead of you,’ if you’re willing to work hard for what you love and never give up on yourself.
I also am a scientist, I have a masters degree in neuroscience and physiology and structural biology, I’m a running coach, and a gravel cyclist.

We explore Adam Kimble’s epic performance at Badwater 135—one of the world’s toughest ultramarathons.
Gain insights into his heat acclimatization, race-day nutrition, and mental strategies for peak performance.
Crew love: the difficulties and importance of a crew during an ultra
Adam Kimble is a professional ultrarunner, race director, motivational speaker and running coach from Truckee, CA. In 2016, Adam ran 2,500 miles over the course of 60 days to cross the USA on foot. Subsequently, in November of 2016, he successfully completed a 60-day journey alone in the wilderness of South America to become winner of Discovery Channel's survivalist show, The Wheel. Following that adventure, Adam set two prominent Fastest Known Times (FKTs): in 2017 he became part of the first duo to ever run self-supported on foot across Great Britain (Scotland, England and Wales) while summiting the highest peak in each country along the way; and in 2020, he set the supported FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail—a 171-mile circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe. Most recently in 2025, Adam finished 4th overall and ran one of the Top-10 fastest times ever at the historic Badwater 135. Adam's life mission is to push himself past his perceived limits and achieve the impossible. His calling is to share what he has learned and help others grow in their journey so as to push through the ceiling and achieve their own 'impossible'.

In today's episode, we speak with Savilia Blunk about her experience as a professional cross country mountain biker and how she has dialed in her fueling and hydration strategies for races around the world.
About Savilia Blunk: Growing up in the small town of Inverness, California, I learned the importance of understanding where you come from, your surroundings, and how you have the power to change your environment for the better. I come from multiple generations of artists, with the creative hand shaping my early life. These experiences have influenced how I express my own strengths and weaknesses as a female athlete, and how I relate to my environment and connect to those around me. This has all fueled what is now my career in professional cycling. Unfolding in my high school years with NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association), my passion as a cross country mountain bike racer was launched into a professional career as an athlete. During the three years of my professional career, I have earned 6 National titles, 2 U23 World Cup podiums, and multiple top 15 World Cup finishes. I now race professionally for Orange Seal Off-Road Team. However, I believe I have more to offer than being a bike racer on a bike, and I am here to share my stories, advice, and help inspire and motivate the next generation.
