  • My Go-To Running Pod

    Life in Stride has everything: Legit running wisdom that sometimes makes you wonder if you accidentally enrolled in a masterclass, down-to-earth life stories only occasionally reminiscent of your buddy oversharing on a long run, unfiltered weirdness sprinkled in like surprise V02 repeats for your brain, and a co-host thrupple bromance so strong you can practically hear the group hug through your headphones.

    In all seriousness - top-tier pod. Worth a listen + follow.

  • Loving it

    Hey guys, I was ignorantly unaware of your podcast until I ran with you guys at Bayshore (my “home race” that I’ve run and PR’d many times…I actually live in Wisconsin but vacation in TC every Bayshore weekend). I’m really enjoying the podcast…both the shows with and without guests!

    2026 will be my 11th Boston Marathon in a row, so this was my first year of getting to “flex” my automatic entry like Korf does! Even though qualifying hasn’t been a problem for a few years (humble brag), registeri... more

#195 Dakotah Popehn - Taking Another Step Towards Sub-2:20 with a 2:24 PR at the Chicago Marathon
Q: What were the factors in the race that you feel like held you back from running your best race?
The race was mostly mechanical; Dakotah picked up an injury shortly before the marathon, which affected her performance.
#197 - Listener Q&A: Marathon Training & Pacing Thoughts, Reflecting on Pod Growth, Is Truett Hanes That Guy?
Q: What does it look like for a body preparing for the marathon?
Just add a couple miles per run per day and just do like six, six, six, seven or something.
#197 - Listener Q&A: Marathon Training & Pacing Thoughts, Reflecting on Pod Growth, Is Truett Hanes That Guy?
Q: Is it important as runners to track if you're eating enough calories or to just go by feel?
Well, I would say go by feel and then make sure that you're not losing a ton of weight or gaining a ton of weight.
#197 - Listener Q&A: Marathon Training & Pacing Thoughts, Reflecting on Pod Growth, Is Truett Hanes That Guy?
Q: How to get faster if I can't afford to hire a running coach?
I think, find a friend who's faster, run with them.
#197 - Listener Q&A: Marathon Training & Pacing Thoughts, Reflecting on Pod Growth, Is Truett Hanes That Guy?
Q: Can you run your easy runs too easy?
The answer is? I mean, I would say generally no. I mean, here's the thing. If I was running like 10 plus menopace on my easy days, like I'd be, I mean, this is just me like I'm 222 marathoner.
