Wellness With Stackzzz
Welcome to Wellness With Stackzzz, the podcast where food and fitness meet real life.
Hosted by Nicole and Ryan Stack, we dive into the sweet spot between performance and balance, where marathon training, healthy baking, and everyday living all work together instead of against each other.
From running sub three-hour marathons and chatting about fueling strategies to better-for-you desserts and learning when to rest, we talk about how to chase big goals and still have a life outside of them. Because wellness isn’t about restriction or perfection - it’s about rhythm, purpose, and joy.
So grab a coffee (or a cookie) and come hang out with us every Tuesday morning!

#16: Training Smarter, Not Harder: My Mid-Year Fitness Update
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this sixteenth episode, we’re doing a little mid-year check-in. After spending the beginning of 2025 recovering from burnout and overtraining, I have now spent the last 12 weeks experimenting with intention. I built and followed a full half-marathon training block, not for a race, but to rebuild trust with my body, my training plan, and my mindset.
During this yappin session, we’re talking structure, recovery, performance gains, and how I’ve actually improved while doing MUCH less. So, if you’ve ever felt like you needed to “do more” to see progress, or if you’re in a season of trial and error yourself, this episode is for you.
