Ep 231 Joeffery’s, Dr. Pepper, and Chaos Oh My! A Chat with Running in Makeup
News of Jeff Galloway’s passing broke just as the running community gathered for Princess Weekend. We paused to honor the man who taught countless runners to believe in run-walk-run. He stood at the runDisney expo, start and finish lines making strangers feel like old friends. He turned fear into finish lines.

Running in Makeup.
Our guest, Kristen of Running in Makeup, brought resilience to center stage. She is fresh off an injury and a medical-family hiatus from filming. She shared how pausing content sharpened her training. Her improvements included better form, smarter pacing, and a 30-minute marathon PR. She spoke candidly about the tradeoffs of filming. Drone shots and talking to the camera cost energy. Stepping back to focus brought results. We celebrated her Joffrey’s coffee cup costume. We also appreciated her Mary Poppins ambitions. The quirky post-run ritual of a Dr Pepper earned after six miles is rooted in Baylor and Waco lore. The point wasn’t just costumes or cola. It was identity in motion. It was about how runners build rituals, play with creativity, and keep promises to themselves. Even her chaotic race-morning story about forgetting insoles underlined a theme: preparation matters, but attitude finishes.

The Race Report Sponsored by Stoked Metabolic Coaching
In The Race report Spotlight we are joined by Hannah who Painted Horse 55k Ultra in Ocala, FL. We hear about a watch dying at Mile 25. We also hear how Florida winter turned into one of the hottest days of the year. Additionally, we learn about a strategic short change on the course. Even with a shortened course by 2 miles from the race director Hannah completed her first ultra of 51k.
We closed the loop where we began: with community. We honored a coach who encouraged us by saying “You can do it.” We can accomplish it by showing up. and promise to carry the torch in the miles ahead.
