Episode 16 features Coach Sadie Laughlin. Sadie joined QT2
Systems as an athlete and coach in 2017. An athlete growing up,
Sadie started running for fun in her 20s, enjoying the running
community and taking part in local races. Around 40, she became
more interested in increasing volume and training for longer
events. She loved the lifestyle of running, and was motivated to
try to improve her times. She trained using "cookie cutter" plans
designed to hit a target time, without knowing if her body was
capable of achieving those times. Gradually she became
overtrained and running started to take a tole on her body. In
her final race before joining QT2, she DNF'd after experiencing
tunnel vision and whole body collapse. Under Coach Beth Peterson,
Sadie change the way she trained - slowing down on the longer
days, adding specific speed work, focusing on fueling and day to
day nutrition, and incorporating strength and mobility work.
Through this, she learned to love running again and achieved the
success she was seeking.


As a coach, Sadie focuses on keeping it fun for her athletes and
celebrating achievements. She enjoys helping her athletes find
out what they are capable of. Her goal is to help create happy
strong runners.
