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.
