Hi, we're Carolyn and Michelle! But you might know us as la_triathlete and fuelmyrun on Instagram. We're just two athletic gal pals who like train for races (Carolyn for triathlons and Michelle for marathons), create fun content on social media and most importantly, love to yap.


While this podcast has a loose fitness/training focus, we keep things light and fun over here. We share funny stories, talk about our training and races, answer questions, get a little personal and have a lot of fun!


Whether you're a seasoned runner, a beginner triathlete or you despise all forms of cardio, there is a little something for everyone. So throw on a pair of headphones during your run and enjoy!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episodios
  • The Ironman Trot, Adult Spelling Bees, and What the Helly
    Jul 8 2025

    Today we start with learning about cogs (well Carolyn talks about them and also other bike-related things), influencing, and we get the anticipated paragliding recap.

    And then, with a lot of random pivots, including adult spelling bees, ef/marry/kill The Office edition, narcissistic snakes on a run, and running at threshold pace, we dive into the 'What the Helly' questions you gave us!!

    These include what we do with old running shoes, the pool bandaid community (jail), using the bathroom during a race, social vs. solo workouts, see-through bibs, and running in the heat.

    Shout out to being all in on something when someone matches your exact enthusiasm level.

  • SD Triathlon Recap, Blood Tests, and Surprise Parties
    Jun 30 2025

    Every podcast should start with a wholesome electric scooter wave moment w/ the retirement home community, in our humble opinions.


    We’re talking about everything from the UV index to low iron struggles.

    Michelle’s hamstring (or is it a tendon?) is still whispering in her ear (same level as a whisper of marshmallow), and yes, we’re still blaming Botox.

    Carolyn does more cardio than Michelle’s brain can contemplate. We chat about miles ran per week, professionally sleeping, and somehow everything goes back to someone having a PhD.

    Carolyn shares insights from her latest blood panel (ferritin, estrogen, inflammation…), and we talk openly about birth control and fainting in a Harley-Davidson.

    Plus:

    • SD Tri race recap: third out of the water!
    • Thoughts on race starts, Olympic tri fueling, and peeing logistics
    • Post-race In-N-Out fries (are they superior?)
    • Upcoming summer vacations, small pepperonis being elite, and surprise parties are difficult when you can’t lie very well

  • SD Triathlon Prep, Natty Light, & Icks
    Jun 24 2025

    Carolyn’s been circle swimming with boomers and drinking questionable water from strangers, while Michelle takes a staycation and gets the hardest massage known to man. We cover everything from pee beer (Natty Light, we see you), why bourbon is crazy to enjoy but IPAs slap, and whether you should feel morally obligated to tidy a hotel room before housekeeping.


    Other highlights:

    • Napa is becoming a seasoned runner
      – Are jorts coming back for men? (Or are they just European?)
      – Gen Z slang, massage pressure preferences, and tipping etiquette
      – The Anthropology conspiracy
      – Pre-race SD triathlon logistics: pro start, transition logistics, the perfect weather, etc.
      – The hydrating 101: running with less water, chugging icks, and do not touch our snacks
      – Tri kits vs running outfits, Eagle Scouts = instant trust, and actors delivering water?? (SAG)
      – Plus: paragliding, candling ears, and being the last generation that signs in cursive.
