Olympic medalist Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health physical therapist Jess Dorrington join Corinne to talk about their new book, Strong as a Mother, and the bigger conversation around pregnancy, postpartum, and athleticism. Together, they explore what it means to stay active during pregnancy, how runners can think about returning to sport postpartum, and why strength during motherhood may look different, but no less powerful.

They also dig into pelvic floor health for runners, common misconceptions around exercise during pregnancy, and why so much advice in this space can feel confusing or incomplete. Jess breaks down why pelvic health matters not just for pregnant and postpartum athletes, but for runners more broadly, while Shannon reflects on her path from Olympian to mom rediscovering joy in movement.

Along the way, they talk about how Strong as a Mother came together, why the title changed from Running for Two, and what they hope athletes, moms, and active women take from the book: your body is capable of more than you think, and there is no one right way to move through this season. Shannon also shares more about her long Olympic medal journey and anti-doping advocacy.

In this episode:

• Shannon Rowbury’s running career and Olympic medal journey
• Jess Dorrington’s path into pelvic health physical therapy
• Why pelvic floor health matters for runners
• Exercise during pregnancy and returning to sport postpartum

Jane Maus is coming off a huge early-season win at Black Canyon 50K — but her story is about far more than a finish line.

From battling chronic pre-race nerves to chasing the Grand Teton FKT, making the Short Trail World Championships Team, and stepping into a new partnership with Arc’teryx, Jane’s last two years have been anything but linear.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. Why she struggles to even make it to start lines
2. The move from Salt Lake City to Boulder and entering the “Boulder Bubble”
3. Working with coach Rick Floyd and managing chronic injury
4. Racing Jazmine Lowther for the Grand Teton FKT
5. Finding flow on technical terrain
6. Why 50K racing currently suits her body better than 100-milers
7. Kicking off 2026 with a Black Canyon win

Jane’s story is about fitness built in the mountains, confidence built through racing, and learning to be competitive with your teammates.

Hillary is back from her recent travels, Corrine shares some upcoming race decisions, and then they dive into the topic of the day: Why some athletes are “clutch” on the world’s biggest stages, while others “choke”—and what the rest of us can learn from those moments.

Corrine and Hillary explore the science of performance under pressure—from Olympic heartbreak to gold-medal breakthroughs.

They break down the neuroscience of choking, why overthinking sabotages performance, and the psychological tools athletes can use to re-set mid-race. They also highlight Olympic champion Alysa Liu’s joy-first approach to sport and what endurance athletes can learn from it.

You'll hear:

1. What “choking” actually means in sports psychology
2. Why pressure can disrupt automatic skills
3. The neuroscience behind overthinking during competition
4. The role of embarrassment and identity in athletic performance
5. Why “just treat it like another race” rarely works
6. Practical tools to re-set your brain mid-race
7. Self-determination theory: autonomy, competence, and community
8. Why joy and intrinsic motivation can unlock peak performance

From the pointy end of performance to mid-pack athletes, If you’ve ever panicked under pressure or struggled with self-doubt, you'll understand.
