  • Good Stuff

    You know those podcasts where it takes a couple episodes to really get the vibe? This isn’t one of those. It’s hilarious. Real emotion, creative range, riveting characters, and vivid storylines. Took me about 5 minutes to realize it was a running podcast, so credit to some harsh critics’ observation, but hey, the line between idiocy and critic is so thin these days. Unlike my calves which have only thickened since listening to the boys on long runs.

    In all seriousness, it’s a balanced reflectio... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#260 Yowana - Top 3 Marathon Supershoes, How He Went From 3:19 to 2:30 in the Marathon
Q: How do you manage running a full-time job, family, and daily content production without burning out?
By designing a personal system with three non-negotiables: one hard running day per week, a reliable 20-mile long run, and maintaining a minimum weekly mileage, while keeping editing and filming efficient through a simpler, more repeatable process that minimizes downtime and preserves energy for training and family life.
#260 Yowana - Top 3 Marathon Supershoes, How He Went From 3:19 to 2:30 in the Marathon
Q: You ran Wilmington in 2:30 after a period of very high-mileage training; what was the key change in your plan that unlocked that breakthrough?
The shift to zone three-focused training, reducing extreme grinder sessions, and prioritizing a steady build with longer runs and targeted marathon pace work allowed the body to absorb volume while preserving speed, culminating in a breakthrough in a more strategic taper and pacing plan.
#253 Ethan Shuley - Running 2:07 at Osaka Marathon to Become 7th Fastest American All-Time
Q: What do you credit for your rapid progression and 2:07 finish in Osaka?
Consistency and increased intensity in key workouts, along with maintaining a strong strength base and careful race-day pacing to avoid blowing up, were the main drivers behind the breakthrough.
#251 Max Davies - The Future of Canadian 1500m Running, Signing with Brooks as a Senior in College
Q: What are your goals for the upcoming season?
I'm chasing fast times and trying to qualify for the Commonwealth Games as well as break the Canadian outdoor record in the 1500m.
