77: From Pro Cyclist to First-Time Marathoner: How Fuel Goods Founder Hit the Wall and Kept Going w/ Courteney Lowe

In this episode, I chat with Courteney Lowe, co-founder of Fuel Goods, about her journey from professional cycling to her first marathon—and all the hard lessons learned along the way. Courteney opens up about what it was like to hit the wall at mile 18, how poor fueling nearly took her out of the race, and why that experience ended up inspiring the launch of Fuel Goods.

We cover everything from the mindset shift required to move from cycling to running, to the physical challenges of pacing and gut issues, to how her relationship with running changed when she started working with a coach. Courteney also shares what fuels her now, what shoes she trusts, and how she’s balancing performance goals with the long game of staying injury-free and enjoying the process.

If you’ve ever struggled with pacing, nutrition, or motivation, this conversation is full of the real talk runners need.

Follow along with Courteney and the Fuel Goods team: @fuel_goods & @courteneylowe.
