In this episode of Runversation, we dive into taper week - the part of training that drives runners a little mad. Rochelle and Kate unpack what tapering is, why it feels so mentally tough, and how to handle the doubts, phantom pains, and restlessness that come with it. They share practical tips, real runner stories, and science backed insight on why less really is more in the final weeks before race day.

🎙️Episode 3: Does Your Coach Need to Have Done It Themselves? 🏃‍♀️💬

Episode 3:Would you pay a hustler?

In this episode, we dive into a hot topic: Would you pay someone to coach you who hasn’t run the distance you’re chasing or doesn’t have an accreditation? Rochelle and Kate unpack the pros, cons, and myths around what really matters when it comes to choosing the right coach.

Plus, Kate takes the mic for her very own segment, Miles of Insight, and Rochelle shares something she spotted on her run that you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re team “experience is everything” or “results speak louder,” this conversation will have you rethinking how you define a great coach

🎙️Episode 2: Let’s Talk Stress – Peeling Back the Layers 🧠 💥
In this episode of Runversation, we dive deep into the topic of stress — and not just the surface stuff.

Rochelle and Kate explore the hidden layers of stress that runners (and humans!) carry, how it impacts performance, motivation, sleep, recovery… and everything in between. We unpack the difference between physical, emotional, and mental stress, and chat about how sometimes it’s not “just the training” that’s making you tired.

Whether you're feeling flat, overwhelmed, or just not yourself – this episode helps you tune in and take a step back.

Run with us as we get real, relatable, and reflective.
