In this deeply personal and powerfully honest episode, Mikki shares her experience running the 2024 Boston Marathon—and the unexpected controversy it sparked. She and Jess unpack the joy of running for the love of it, the backlash Mikki faced over her "unconventional" low-carb fuelling approach, and the resilience it took to stand firm in the face of public critique. This is more than a race recap—it’s a reflection on goals, growth, and the freedom to train, eat, and live in a way that aligns with your values. Whether you're an endurance athlete, a health professional, or someone navigating unsolicited opinions, this episode is for you.
Highlights:
- Mikki’s low-carb fuelling approach to the Boston Marathon
- Navigating online criticism and standing by your philosophy
- The difference between training to compete vs. training for joy
- Building metabolic flexibility and fuelling intuitively
- The power of owning your story—even when others try to rewrite it
