With a background in pharmacy, nervous system regulation, somatic and "parts" work, and years in high-pressure performance marketing, she bridges science and lived experience to show how stress becomes fuel, how freeze derails performance, and how self-leadership keeps high performers in their window of tolerance. Rita’s approach is grounded, practical, and deeply human, built on the belief that resilience comes from understanding your system, not fighting against it.

Send us Fan Mail In episode #177 we spoke with ultrarunner Adrian MacDonald about practical insights on altitude adaptation, fueling strategies, injury prevention, and mental prep for ultrarunning. In this episode: How he conquered Leadville, twiceFueling strategies: carbs, hydration, gut trainingThe importance of PT exercises, injury management, and recovery routinesAdrian began running competitively as a sophomore in high school in Massachusetts in 2004 and quickly developed a love for all forms of the sport. After moving to Fort Collins, Colorado in the fall of 2016, he discovered a deep passion for running in the mountains. That passion fully took shape when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 Boston Marathon, prompting a shift in his training toward mountain, trail, and ultrarunning. With a new focus, Adrian set his sights on the 2021 Leadville Trail 100. Years of experience and key moments along his running journey suggested success was possible, and those expectations were realized as he earned the 5th fastest time in the race’s history at that time. Training for Leadville marked one of the most meaningful periods of his life, deepening his love for the outdoors and the trail running community.  Beyond personal competition, Adrian is committed to giving back to the running community, serving on the board of the Fort Collins Running Club, volunteering at local races, and coaching fellow athletes.  Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.

Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José’s work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.
