From Biathlons to Ultramarathons: Corrine Malcolm's Evolving Journey in Sport and Nutrition

Welcome to Episode 70 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Corrine Malcolm, a professional ultrarunner, coach, co-host of the Trail Society Podcast, and Editor-in-Chief at Freetrail.

Corrine’s story is packed with incredible experiences, and even with 90 minutes of conversation, we barely scratched the surface! We dive deep into her background as a high school and collegiate athlete, where she excelled as a Nordic skier and biathlete, all while dipping her toes into the running world. She opens up about her journey through overtraining as a biathlete, the long process of recovering and reclaiming her health, and how her experience chasing the Olympics shaped her mindset when she transitioned into ultrarunning.

One part of her journey that really surprised me is that Corrine was “winging it” with her nutrition until just a few years ago! She shares how her approach to fueling has evolved over time and what’s worked (and not worked) for her throughout her career.

We also veer off into other aspects of her story that make her journey even more fascinating. I loved hearing her unique perspective, and I think you will too!

As a fun update, we recorded this episode on May 31st, and since then, Corrine has had an amazing performance at the Cascade Crest 100, where she placed third! Be sure to check out the Trail Society Podcast to hear more about her experience at that race.

A huge congratulations to Corrine on that accomplishment, and thanks for such a fun conversation!
