Level up your training with our new podcast series and discover how leading athletes in different sports use running to boost their abilities. Plus, enjoy a workout based on their philosophies created by Hollywood trainer Don Saladino – who got Ryan Reynolds, Emily Blunt and Hugh Jackman into shape.
Welcome to Running Remixed on the Caroline Gleich Show. This special four-part podcast series is designed to help you level up your training by showcasing how a diverse group of leading athletes in different sports use running to maximize their abilities. In other words, what running remixed means to them.
Best enjoyed while you’re on a run, the podcasts reveal how the athletes live, work, train and use running. They all last around 30-45 minutes and they all end with a short but sweat-inducing workout based on the athletes’ unique philosophies. Time to get stronger, go longer, remix your run.
Scaling New Heights with Ski Mountaineer Caroline Gleich
First up is our host Caroline Gleich. A professional ski mountaineer, activist and endurance athlete, Caroline has climbed some of the highest peak in the world (including Everest and Cho Oyu – the sixth highest in the world), finished ultramarathons and is a skimo (an uphill skiing and mountaineering hybrid) national champion. She’s appeared on magazine covers and in award-winning films, and even testified to US Congress about how climate change is impacting mountaineering and public health.
Interviewed by her husband, Rob Lea, Caroline talks about being a ski mountaineer, the inspiration for her activism, some of her favorite adventure locations, how mountaineering with ADHD works, how recovery runs unlocked her potential for longer distances, her marathon and ultramarathon experience, how the Cloud X supports her ACL recovery, turning body shame into self-love – and a whole lot more.
Make sure to listen to the podcast while on the run so you can try out our Caroline-inspired workout from Hollywood trainer Don Saladino. It’ll improve your overall athleticism, strength and resiliency and can be done with or without a resistance band.

Viet talks about moving from Switzerland to Los Angeles, his favorite part of being a dancer and choreographer, his affinity for language (he speaks seven), how dance can contribute to social change, what accomplishments he’s most proud of, what failures he’s made and what he’s learned from them, injuries and his tips for injury prevention and recovery, a typical day of training, his latest Wushu training, how he maintains freedom of movement and even his favorite types of food.
