  • 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.

    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.

#388 Devin Meyrer - How to Mentally Prepare for a Race, European vs US Culture + Grandma’s Marathon Recap
Q: Would you mind explaining the Josh Kerr illusory truth effects concept and how it can help listeners go into races with less fear?
Devin explains that Josh Kerr used journaling to repeatedly imagine and 'live' the world record mindset, which helps encode that belief as a memory and reduces threat perception on race day, making performance feel more achievable.
#373 Zouhair Talbi - Dreaming of Winning in NYC Marathon, Great North Run Preview, Easy Day Pace
Q: Race, do you feel the same way that you could win this race?
Yes, I believe in my fitness and in the right conditions I can win, though I acknowledge the competition is strong and anything can happen on race day.
#362 Brock Kelly - Life Updates Post-College, How to Run a 5 Minute Negative Split at Boston Marathon, Monetizing Your Content
Q: What was the biggest lesson from your first marathon (Grandma's) that influenced Boston?

#362 Brock Kelly - Life Updates Post-College, How to Run a 5 Minute Negative Split at Boston Marathon, Monetizing Your Content

#358 - Listener Q + A with Olympic Trials Qualifier Jess Donohue
Q: What should you focus on for first-time marathon preparation?
