About This Podcast
Welcome to Pain Cave to Power. A podcast about the intersection of endurance and healing. Hosted by Melissa Londry, trail runner, therapist, and race director, and Brandy Krisher, ultrarunner, massage therapist, coach and advocate, this show dives into the raw, unfiltered side of running where resilience meets reckoning.
From the miles we choose to suffer through to the pain we never asked for, we explore how endurance sports mirror the emotional journey of recovery, empowerment, and growth.
Each episode takes you beyond finish lines and race reports to the deeper stories confronting topics often left in the shadows of the trail and ultra world.
Through honest conversations, survivor stories, and expert insight, Pain Cave to Power challenges what strength really means and reminding us that the darkest miles often lead to the most powerful finish lines.
Tune in if you’ve ever found healing on a trail, courage in the climb, or connection in your own pain cave.
