In this episode, Coach Hannah sits down with ultra runner, military veteran, and licensed counselor Daniel Hamilton to talk about identity, service, and the challenges of transitioning from high-stress environments to everyday civilian life.

Daniel shares his path from running competitively at King College in Bristol, Tennessee, to serving in the military, and eventually building a counseling practice dedicated to helping those who carry heavy stress in their professions.

After leaving the military, Daniel experienced firsthand how difficult the transition to civilian life can be. The structure, camaraderie, and constant challenge of military service can be hard to replace, and many veterans find themselves searching for something that provides the same sense of purpose and intensity.

That experience ultimately led Daniel to found Moving Forward Therapeutic Services, where he works primarily with veterans, law enforcement officers, and first responders. His approach focuses on helping people move forward through stress instead of staying stuck in it—often using lessons drawn from sports, discipline, and endurance.

In this conversation, Daniel and Coach Hannah discuss:

• The identity challenges that can come with competitive athletics and military service
• Why many high-performing people feel most comfortable in stressful environments
• The difficult transition from military structure to civilian life
• The importance of authentic connection and community after service
• How endurance sports can provide grounding and perspective

Daniel also shares why he stepped away from racing and how becoming a father reshaped his outlook on competition and identity. Today, he focuses on raising his kids to see sports as something to enjoy, not something that defines them.

For veterans, runners, or anyone navigating high-stress careers, this episode offers an honest conversation about purpose, resilience, and what it means to keep moving forward.

In this episode of the Maximum Mileage Running Podcast, coaches Hannah Witt and Faye Johnson sit down with renowned sports dietitian and exercise physiologist Bob Seebohar, founder of eNRG Performance and a leading voice in endurance sports nutrition.

Bob shares how his journey from triathlon led to a career focused on solving one of the most common issues endurance athletes face: gastrointestinal distress during training and racing. Instead of accepting GI problems as “part of the sport,” Bob explains why they’re often preventable, and how improving gut health can dramatically change both health and performance.

We dive into Bob’s Metabolic Efficiency Training philosophy, how athletes can train their bodies to burn more fat and rely less on constant sugar intake, and why biomarker testing and daily nutrition strategies should come before performance-focused fueling.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why GI distress is so common in endurance athletes
• How Metabolic Efficiency Training works
• Why more carbs during training isn’t always better
• The role of gut health in endurance performance
• Bob’s four-step framework for athlete nutrition: testing, daily nutrition, nutrient timing, and supplements

If you’re a runner or endurance athlete who wants to fuel smarter, protect your gut, and perform better long term, this episode is packed with practical insights.

Bob will also be returning to the podcast soon to dive deeper into nutrient timing and fueling strategies for training and racing.

What if the real reason runners get injured has less to do with their running form and more to do with what is happening inside the body?

In this episode, I sit down with physical therapist and endurance athlete Sammie Lewis to talk about runner health, injury prevention, and the systemic factors that often get overlooked. Sammie shares her personal experience managing ankylosing spondylitis, celiac disease, and life after a thyroidectomy for Graves' disease while continuing to run, and how those challenges shaped the way she approaches helping athletes stay healthy.

Through her clinic, Golden Endurance, Sammie works with endurance athletes using a whole runner approach that looks beyond the site of pain. Instead of focusing only on biomechanics, she evaluates factors like sleep, stress, nutrition, and neuromuscular control.

In our conversation, we also discuss common running myths including pronation, how to choose the right running shoe, and why strength training alone is not enough to prevent injuries.

Whether you are dealing with recurring injuries or simply want to better understand your body as a runner, this episode offers practical insights into building a healthier and more resilient approach to training.
