Episode 224: What if everything you believed about running was wrong with Meghan Gould

from The Diet Diaries · host Jordana Edelstein

What if everything you thought you knew about running—what a runner looks like, why people do it, how it relates back to food and how you feel about your body—was wrong?In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Meghan Gould, an ultra running coach who helps women train for their first 50K (yes, that’s 31+ miles, and no, it’s not as wild as it sounds... or maybe it is, but not in the way you think). Meghan shares her journey from post-college burnout and chronic pain to coaching women through massive physical feats—not to lose weight, but to expand what they believe is possible.We talk about:The surprising (and deeply inclusive) culture of ultra runningHow running can heal your relationship with carbs (hi, Sour Patch Kids)Building confidence by stretching your comfort zone—not punishing your bodyWhy running can shift how you show up in your life, way beyond the milesTruthfully, this conversation isn’t really about running—it’s about reconnecting with your body and understanding how how to trust it, fuel it, and see just how far you can go when you stop trying to get smaller and start getting curious instead.Whether you've never run a mile or you've been running for years, this one will make you think differently about what your body can do—and how good that can feel.Connect with MeghanConnect with JordanaFind me on InstagramSign up for my weekly letter with personal stories and nutrition, body image and mindset tipsSchedule a free discovery call to talk more about working together Listen to more episodes of The Diet Diaries
