Pregnant AF, Marathon Pivots & Why We're Not Really Running Right Now w/ Coach Erin & Mich

In this episode, we’re bringing you all the unfiltered life updates—from Erin being as pregnant as pregnant can be (yes, complete with burrito-on-belly commentary) to how both of us are navigating seasons of running that look nothing like they used to. We talk about shifting identity, giving yourself permission to slow down, and why it’s okay for your training to change when life does. This conversation blends humor, honesty, and coaching perspective as we unpack what it really means to honor your body in transition. If you’re in a season that feels messy, uncertain, or different than expected, this one will hit home.

💡 What You’ll Hear

• How pregnancy is reshaping Erin’s relationship with movement, rest, and expectations
• The mindset shift required when your training feels off, heavy, or uninspired
• Why slowing down doesn’t mean you’re losing progress—it’s often where growth happens

• Bonus: Erin using her belly as a portable food tray (an all-time iconic moment)
