Episode 7 how are we here already!? In today’s episode, Carolyn and Michelle talk about everything from getting yelled at by men on Threads to fitness myths they’re not a fan of. They finally dive into your pressing questions related to group runs vs solo, road vs trails, a third podcast host???, and must-have items while running. Carolyn also recaps her FTP test which Michelle refers to as her APY financing credit score.

So much was mentioned in this episode that you’ll need to listen to catch all of the tea. LIVE LAUGH LOVE.

Today Carolyn and Michelle start by addressing the fires in LA and Carolyn walks through her experience with the evacuation. Check out Going Off Course on Instagram Highlights to see where you can donate to help those affected! <3

Then, they jump into business as usual with a ton of pent-up/chaotic energy in this episode discussing red flags and deal breakers about endurance athletes and random things such as singing at a movie theatre and listening to music out loud on the trails (straight jail). Listen in and play along at the same time! Do you have the same red flags and deal breakers as Carolyn and Michelle? They also find they have some differences from each other!

Carolyn survived the Rapha Festive 500 but not without a saddle sore. Michelle is equally graphic with her toenail and dramatic chafing accident, so it all evens out. This episode is not for the faint of heart.

Carolyn and Michelle answer questions related to chafing, top tips when you're getting into tris, and favorite places they've ever run (and for Carolyn bike and swam - although Michelle doggie paddled in Hawaii once).

They also dive into social media and content ideas. Check out Going Off Course on Instagram to see the video come to life!

An episode where Carolyn & Michelle kept checking to see if their mics were on and completely butchered the definition of resolution vs goal. Spoiler alert, the mics were in fact not on, but at least they realized they were afternoon people. Yes, not morning, not evening; afternoon people.

They dive into working out during Dec 26-31, strength training, rest days, maintaining a crotch as a cyclist (especially during the Rapha Festive 500 this week!), and conclude with the fact that Michelle is giving Fred (Michelle did self diagnose, but Carolyn didn’t push back too hard). Carolyn is doing the Lululemon 5k at midnight on New Year's Day and Michelle is going out in Montreal.

Some may say the most interesting part of the episode is the discussion about social media brand deals from the influencer AND brand perspective. OR giving Carolyn’s cats human names and personalities - spoiler alert, Cosmo is a HUGE player. He’s also Italian.

Welcome to Going Off Course!

We're Carolyn and Michelle but you might know us as la_triathlete and fuelmyrun on Instagram. We're just two athletic gal pals who like train for races (Carolyn for triathlons and Michelle for marathons), create fun content on social media, and most importantly, love to yap.

While this podcast has a loose fitness/training focus, we keep things light and fun over here. We share funny stories, talk about our training and races, answer questions, get a little personal and have a lot of fun!

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a beginner triathlete or you despise all forms of cardio, there is a little something for everyone. So throw on a pair of headphones during your run or hang on the couch with a glass of wine or a sweet treat and enjoy!
