250: Running For 250 Episodes With Special Guests Deena Kastor & Serena Marie RD

We celebrate by having one of the most empowering professional runners back on the show to celebrate 250 episodes— none other than Deena Kastor.

Deena Kastor has been a friend of the podcast since 2015 when Serena and I were fortunate to meet her at the Chicago Marathon press conference. In this episode, which took place at The Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run and 5K Run-Walk Expo, we discuss:

• Running during perimenopause and menopause: we ask the American masters' marathon record holder for her recommendations

• How YOU get to decide how to define yourself

• The ups and downs of writing her book

• If or when her next book is coming out

• Deena’s personal favorite books

Serena Marie, RD, and I discuss:

• What’s been good during the hiatus of the podcast and what we’re looking forward to

• Nutrition advice around Keto and Intermittent Fasting, and what she does and doesn't agree with based on her expertise as a dietitian

• Running tour recommendations for Barcelona and Paris

• Updates to The Running Lifestyle Show
