BIG News and Mystery Meat

In this weeks episode chaos is the name of the game. Nina kicks things off and shares the exciting news that we have been hoping for. Meanwhile, Kara recounts her wild experience discovering some mysterious trash bags that lead to an unexpected series of events. Plus, get ready for some cringe-worthy moments as Kara shares about the time she embarrassed herself in front of a hot coffee man—spoiler: it's just as awkward as you can imagine...maybe next week she will share the whole story.  Connect with us: @trailmix_pod [https://www.instagram.com/trailmix_pod/] on Instagram, Follow Nina [https://www.instagram.com/ninapiergentili/]and Kara [https://www.instagram.com/k_piergentili/] Looking for a coach or sports nutritionist?

Baby, we're back!

Guess who’s back?! After a bit of a hiatus—and we’re coming in stronger and more authentic than ever before. In this episode, we dive into why we hit pause and what sparked the exciting comeback. The truth is, we realized we weren’t feeling excited about the podcast anymore because we were trying to sound like everyone else. We were focused on fitting in rather than standing out, and that’s just not us! Now, we’re doing things our way—no more trying to be like other podcasts. It’s time for us to bring our true selves to the mic and share more of who we really are. So get ready for more unfiltered (and unhinged) conversations, more of the real us, and, of course, more of the energy that made you fall in love with this podcast in the first place. In this episode, we catch up on what Kara and Nina have been up to since March. From new adventures to personal growth, we’ve got a lot to share. We get into why running in the dark is so scary, how money is always on our minds (and why that’s a constant struggle), and much, much more! It’s a fresh start, a new chapter, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you along for the ride. Let’s kick things off right with a brand-new episode!

Social Media Woes and Treadmill Talk

A Wednesday upload can only mean one thing, both Nina and I have had a busy week of donut eating and injury prevention. We buckle down and talk about our social media woes (do we need a Tik Tok account?!), the pros and cons of supplementing some runs on a treadmill, and briefly discuss a new study on the effects a tight sports bras can have on your breathing.
