  • I feel like I know these guys

    The kind of guys you wanna just go on an easy 8mile run with. Never met any of them but it’s like I’m just driving the car and we’re all sitting here. They’re genuinely entertaining but also know their stuff.

  • Great pod!

    I truly enjoy listening! A piece of constructive feedback-please refer to athletes being discussed by their preferred pronouns. Nikki Hiltz has made it abundantly clear that their preferred pronouns are they/them, but Chris referred to them as “she/her” for an entire episode. I know it may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is to the person being discussed. They deserve the same respect as anyone else.

  • A go to pod

    I’ve listened to just about every episode for two years now. Honestly feels like I’m just hanging with the boys when listening! Love the range of athletes interviewed and have also learned a few things along the way. Keep on keeping on. Also, moo.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#394 Gabby Hentemann - Quietly Running 2:35 at Twin Cities Marathon, Rapid Fires for the Boys + The Argument for the 2011 Ford Flex
Q: Where does your training fall in the realm of the controlled, scientific approach and the harder-workout approach?
Hentemann describes her training as controlled and guided by a science-minded coach, but says they do not fixate on heart rate or lactate testing. She values how workouts feel and says runners need to judge whether to press or back off based on their perceived effort.
#394 Gabby Hentemann - Quietly Running 2:35 at Twin Cities Marathon, Rapid Fires for the Boys + The Argument for the 2011 Ford Flex
Q: How do you reason that the pros handle the heat better?
Hentemann says later starters and longer race times expose recreational runners to warmer conditions for longer, while shade and course conditions can also affect how hot a race feels. She notes that many elite runners struggled too, including a high DNF rate among the women's elite field.
#396 Johannes Barisch - 3:10 to 2:26 Marathon in Under 3 Years, How to Fuel 100 Mile Weeks
Q: What's the race recap from Berlin?
Barisch felt unwell after taking a pre-race gel, then experienced cramps and nausea each time he took more gels. He slowed from about five kilometers onward, could not sustain his planned pace, and suspects a bad stomach day and possibly an excessive carbohydrate load contributed.
#396 Johannes Barisch - 3:10 to 2:26 Marathon in Under 3 Years, How to Fuel 100 Mile Weeks
Q: Did you go through any similar journey with fueling? What was that like?
Barisch increased his training volume sharply but did not raise his carbohydrate intake enough, and later blood-work markers prompted him to focus on fueling. He now prioritizes carbohydrates before sessions and carbohydrates and protein afterward, using hunger cues for the rest of the day.
#397 Big’s Backyard Ultra Thoughts, Sadler’s Detroit Marathon PR Recap, Should Chris Run Less to Get Faster?
Q: Do you think there's a world where you run 80 to 90 mile weeks and you break 220?
Sadler says he has found that high mileage does not suit him well, while the group considers whether lower mileage and controlled long-run workouts could help the host arrive healthier for CIM.
