RNWY Complete Protein is a post-run recovery shake we genuinely stand behind. Here’s why: built on YESTEIN®, a fermented yeast protein that scores a PDCAAS of 1.0, which is the
highest possible protein quality rating. That puts it in the same category as whey but without any
of the dairy. Every serving gives you 25 grams of complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids plus 5 grams of creatine monohydrate and a five-enzyme digestive complex. Get yours at https://rnwy.life/ and use code FEATHERS15 for 15% off your purchase.

We talk with Amory about all things marathoning and what it took to break three hours after 40. She walks us through the lessons along the way: divorcing her data at Chicago in 2019, redefining her race at Boston in 2021, asking better questions at CIM in 2024, and finally embracing change at Boston in 2026. Amory is a wealth of knowledge and an absolute joy to talk to.

In this episode of Fuel for the Sole, we dig into a new protein option we’ve been trying, Bold Bars, share a success story from Berlin, and then tackle your questions. We cover what to know about the new ferritin guidelines, whether it’s OK to make your own sports nutrition, how to fuel for an evening race, and how soon you should expect results from your collagen supplement.

Emily Saul is back, and she's a favorite of ours and yours. This time we learn more about her background and how she ended up with a master's in sport psychology. We also get into the transitions a lot of runners go through, like coming back from a break, whether that's injury, pregnancy, or just a choice you made, and learning to meet your body where it is right now. As always, Emily sends us off with some great advice.

In this episode of Fuel for the Sole, we get into what might be behind those mid-race cramps. We break down the difference between leg cramps and diaphragm cramps and share a few ways to help prevent both. We also take a listener question about electrolytes (and whether all these companies are just a scam), then wrap up with how to come back from big injuries like stress fractures.
