Michael Zourdos

In today’s episode, we’re going to drill down on one critical micronutrient that is essential to humans in the right dose, highly toxic in the wrong dose, and one that many runners are chronically deficient in and that is iron. To help explain the unique role of iron in runners, I invited Dr Mike Zourdos and Dr Sara Mahoney on the Run to the Top.  Mike and Sara have studied the role of iron in marathon runners for both health and performance, and fun fact, Sara is Mike’s endurance coach. Mike is a Full Professor and the Associate Chair in the Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL. Mike’s research lab, the Muscle Physiology Laboratory, focuses on resistance and strength training, but more recently, he has begun to come over to the endurance side of sport with a little help from Sara. Dr Sara Mahoney is the Chair of the Department of Exercise Science and Associate Professor at Bellarmine University in Louisville, KY.  Her research has been focused in the use of nutraceuticals and the use of nutrition in athletic performance, specifically endurance and ultra-endurance events.

The Toxic Micronutrient Runners Need: Drs Michael Zourdos and Sara Mahoney

 This episode is like eavesdropping on some friends’s conversation– we welcome Sabrina Little and Sara Mahoney, two of Tina’s close friends. We have a great dynamic between Sara, a professor of exercise physiology and researcher of nutrition and ultra-endurance performance. We also have Sabrina who is a professional ultra runner for Hoka, a philosophy professor and a mom to a 11-month-old. We loved getting to learn about each how each of these worlds– one more scientific and one more philosophical– are intertwined with running.    In this episode we cover…    How Sabrina’s trade of reading things that people have read for hundreds of years helps her ask the questions about what it means to be human. These deep questions we often don’t pause to ask, unless we’re maybe on the trail or running.  Sara shares about  FKT’s  (Fastest  Known Times) and how they differentiate from Strava segments which are smaler sections. She says FKTs can be created more of an experience and with more formality.  On mental toughness...Sabrina shares that she has researched and written about this topic.   “Oftentimes  we hear these phrases like,  ‘no  pain, no gain,’ or  ‘pain  is weakness leaving the body.’ It’s indifferent to the kinds of pain that we're talking about. So if we're talking about injury, then no pain no gain is just imprudent, and it's poor stewardship of your body. If we're talking about pain in the way that people often describe discomfort, then that's a kind of edifying pain, but I guess it takes a bit of prudence or experience to know the difference.”   On knowing your limits…Sara shares,  “You  don't have to like you don't have to take everything so seriously. And be yeah like you know as you said, it's okay to do it on occasion for like an experience where you're finding your limits but you don't have to do it three times a week every week.”  See running as a celebration, not as a test to see if you’re good enough or worthy enough.   We will always good days and bad days, but the important think is to keep working on it over time and move the needle closer to a place of self-love.   If you see others doing it, it tells your brain it’s possible you can do it too.      Resources:  Sara Mahoney IG  Sabrina Little IG Fastest Known Time Website      Thank you to Momentous, Athletic Greens, and Picky Bars for sponsoring this episode.

Sabrina Little and Sara Mahoney: Your Training Is Never Wasted - R4R 249

The wonderful Sara Mahoney was a super fan, turned merch seller, turned tour manager for Stephen Kellogg.  Sara is one of the best people to be on the road with, because of her kindness, hard-work, and being the best van shotgun seat passenger in the game!  She is the first person I go to after the show for an honest opinion of how the show went, and she always tells it straight.  In this episode we talk about what it's like to be on the road with SK, greek yogurt, buying shoes, unruly fans, and a bunch of other stuff.  The featured music in this episode is "All the Love That Comes to Me", and "Irish Goodbye" by Stephen Kellogg (of course). Enjoy!!
