Fiery Embers with Ashley Ljesevic | Mac & Cheese, Seriously? Never!

If you're tired of hearing about pace, FTP, and carb counts, Fiery Embers from Run Tri Bike is your weekly permission slip to laugh, let go, and remember why you started endurance sports in the first place. Hosted by Jason Bahamundi, this unscripted, interview-style podcast spotlights the human (and hilarious) side of endurance athletes.

In this episode, Jason sits down with Ashley Ljesevic, host of Endurance Diaries, to chat about everything but performance metrics. They cover pasta preferences, why Jason’s never eaten mac and cheese (seriously), and design a dream mini golf course complete with a whisk obstacle and walk-up songs. Ashley also shares her movie snack rituals and reflections on screen time and mental health in today’s digital world.

With a strong focus on fun, authenticity, and connection, Fiery Embers strips away the pressure of performance culture. Expect absurd questions, real laughter, and moments that remind you endurance sports aren’t just about training, they’re about living.

Perfect for runners, cyclists, and triathletes who need a break from the grind, this podcast is where humor meets heart.
