About this listen

 In this episode of More Than Miles, Kate and Kacy pull back the curtain on what it really means to be part of the medical and performance (MAPP) team supporting the Atlanta Track Club Elite. Since 2021, they've been embedded in the day-to-day care of some of the country’s top middle-distance runners—building a one-of-a-kind interdisciplinary model that prioritizes prevention, performance, and athlete well-being. From weekly strategy calls with physicians, dietitians, and sports psychologists, to in-the-trenches strength training sessions and trackside treatment, Kate and Kacy explain how this integrated care model has helped reduce injury rates and elevate athlete performance.

They also share how the MAPP team evolved from cautious beginnings to a trusted, high-performing unit—and why this collaborative approach has become a gold standard for elite athlete care. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories, challenges of managing elite training loads, and why even pro runners need help with heel raises and hamstring strains. Whether you're an athlete, coach, clinician, or fan of high-performance sport, this episode offers a candid and inspiring look at what it takes to keep pros healthy, happy, and fast.
