Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown ·

2025/05/12

Welcome to Day 1 of the Running Reignited Challenge—I’m so glad you’re here. 🙌 You’re stepping into a new season of running—one that honors your body, your energy, and your power as a woman over 40. Because let’s be honest… If you’ve noticed running feels harder lately—more fatigue, more aches, more stubborn weight or slower paces—you’re not imagining things. There’s a real reason behind the shift, and it starts with your hormones. Perimenopause and menopause aren’t just about hot flashes

You need two things to improve your running: strength and stress. If you've been feeling stuck in your performance or sidelined by recurring injuries, this one's for you. We share why simply adding more miles or intensity isn't the answer—and how focusing on quality over quantity can unlock a whole new level of progress. We explore the essential role of strength training in building a more resilient, efficient runner—especially as we age. And just as important, we talk about managing the righ...

407: The Identity Shift Required for Running After 40

Real Life Runners with Angie and Kevin Brown ·

2025/04/24

This week, we’re diving deeper—not just into outdated strategies that no longer serve us as runners over 40, but into the powerful role identity plays in our running journey. As runners, we can define ourselves by pace, distance, or race goals. But over time, that performance-based mindset can start to feel limiting—or even discouraging. In this episode, we talk about what it means to step into a new identity: one that prioritizes long-term health, strength, and the joy of movement. Angie and...

2025/04/17

In this inspiring episode, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Cindi Wachholz, a 62-year-old paramedic and runner who proves that it’s never too late to chase big goals. Cindi didn’t start running until she was 59, and her story is such a powerful reminder that age is just a number. She shared how she started with simple walk-run sessions, built consistency over time, and gradually worked her way up to finishing a half marathon—and eventually, a full marathon! Along the way, Cindi dis...

Trust me, you’re not alone in this! I’ll walk you through what’s really going on inside our bodies — how hormonal shifts, like drops in estrogen and progesterone, impact our metabolism and muscle mass.

Join Running Reconnected Today! In this episode of The Real Life Runners Podcast, we’re diving into a topic that so many runners can relate to—using running as a stress relief tool, but sometimes this backfires. We’ll talk about the common mistakes runners make that can actually increase stress levels rather than relieve them. The key?

Most runners focus on endurance and strength training—but what if explosive power was the missing piece to better running? In this milestone 400th episode of the Real Life Runners Podcast, we’re diving into plyometrics—a powerful training tool that can help you run faster, improve efficiency, and reduce injury risk.

In episode 397 of the Real Life Runners Podcast, we focused on the often overlooked component for improved running performance and injury prevention: the nervous system. While many runners emphasize training plans, mileage, strength training, nutrition, and paces, the regulation of the nervous system is crucial for optimal results.
