My guest today on the Mile after Mile Podcast is professional triathlete Rach McBride.    In addition to being a professional triathlete Rach has a background in science - specifically genetics.   Rach and I talk about their academic pursuits and choosing to go all in as a professional triathlete.   Then we go deep into how Rach identifies. Rach is non-binary and uses the pronouns they/them.   We talk about logistically how this impacts registering, participating in sport today.    Rach (they/them) teaches Amy (she/her) a little bit of the history of gender classification in sport.     We also try to play the imagination game and think about how sport might look in the future.    We talk about the power of names and naming things.    We talk about the influence of money and scholarships in conversations on how classifications are made in sport.    We talk about how language is changing quickly and how youngsters may have an easier time because don’t need to unlearn old habits.   We recorded this episode before Rach raced Ironman Coeur d’Alene. Idaho experienced a heat wave for the race.  You can listen to what Rach hoped would happen with the weather … which didn’t happen.    Thank you Rach for being a guest on the Mile after Mile Podcast.    You can find and follow Rach at www.RachelMcBride.com  They are on instagram https://www.instagram.com/rachelmcb   _____________________   The Mile after Mile Podcast has a website you can find it at www.mileaftermilepodcast.com  Keep up with the host Amy Stone at www.amysaysso.com Looking for Podcasting Gear?

Being Seen How You See Yourself

My guest today on the Mile after Mile podcast is Heath Carver. Heath is a triathlete who races in the Clydesdale Category.   Heath shares how he got his start in triathlon and why. His story is one that I think many adult triathletes and endurance athletes can identify with for how they got their start.    We talk about how Heath discovered the Clydesdale category and what finds empowering and supportive in this group of athletes.    Heath and I talk about weight and weight loss and whether there might be a difference between how different genders are socialized to talk about this important topic.    Heath also shares some of his favorite local races with us which is always fun.   Thank you Heath for being a guest on the Mile after Mile Podcast.    _____________________   The Mile after Mile Podcast has a website you can find it at www.mileaftermilepodcast.com  Keep up with the host Amy Stone at www.amysaysso.com Looking for Podcasting Gear?

My guest today on the Mile after Mile podcast is CC Rowe. Welcome to the podcast CC.  CC and I share how we met and she shares how she got her start in triathlon and sport. CC races as part of the Athena category which is determined exclusively under the criteria of weight. She shares with us what the guidelines for the category are. CC discusses how she discovered the Athena category and some of her favorite things about being in this category. She shares some fun information about Athena and Clydesdales National Competitions.

Swimming, Biking and Running with Long Hair

My guest today on the Mile after Mile podcast is Nycole Jones. Nycole is a Tricologist who works with many different textures of hair. She calls herself a Glammother.  In this episode we talk about hair care. I learn about different hair textures because I only know my hair.  We talk a little bit about the some of the culture behind the idea that women who take care of their hair don’t exercise.  So that you don’t think I made this up here is a link to a research article about black women, hair care and exercise.  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236916832_Hair_Care_Practices_as_a_Barrier_to_Physical_Activity_in_African_American_Women Articles like this were common in the early 2000’s which is also when I found my way to endurance sports.  Nycole shares that in her experience women and men will adjust their workout schedule to maintain certain hairstyles and how she suggests making it work because exercise is a part of a healthy lifestyle. She teaches me that I may be washing my hair … pretty much incorrectly.  Nycole shares with me her thoughts on Swim caps from the perspective of a person who cares for hair and not necessarily the person wearing the cap.  Nycole introduces me to the idea of a “protective style” or a hair style that we choose to work with different parts of our lifestyle.  Nycole educates me on other parts of exercise that may exercise may impact.  You can find Nycole and her hair perfume at www.yaraluxe.com  Thank you Nycole Jones for being a guest on the Mile after Mile Podcast.  _____________________ The Mile after Mile Podcast has a website you can find it at www.mileaftermilepodcast.com  Keep up with the host Amy Stone at www.amysaysso.com Looking for Podcasting Gear?
