  • Great Team. Great Pod

    Good stuff! Thanks for your coverage. One recommendation: give us a run down of the race in your instant reaction pod. Break the race down a bit more and describe where the athletes were at certain points in the race. Thanks!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mile Zero Toronto 2026: Alex Hutchinson and Natasha Wodak
Q: What advice do you have for runners who are inundated with media, misinformation and businesses beta testing products, and do not know how to evaluate an intervention?
Hutchinson recommends skepticism about marketing and says most runners should prioritize consistent training, recovery and enjoyment rather than feeling pressured to adopt marginal products. Wodak adds that runners should stick with basics such as good shoes, carbohydrates and strength training.
Mile Zero Toronto 2026: Alex Hutchinson and Natasha Wodak
Q: How can runners calculate how many carbohydrates they need per hour during a marathon, and know whether their bodies are using that amount?
Hutchinson says research has not settled the optimal amount, even for elite athletes. He recommends practicing with higher intake if it is tolerated, then adjusting based on how it goes.
How to Adjust Your Pace for Changing Weather
Q: How to adjust your pace for hot weather in a long run or race, and how to know how much to adjust?
Use an RPE-based approach to marathon effort, start easier, and gradually dial in your effort rather than forcing pace in heat; in long runs, simulate marathon effort at a tolerable level to preserve adaptations and avoid burnout.
Vinny Mauri's Peak Week Training for Chicago is INSANE
Q: How do you balance expectations and learning when chasing a major marathon in a highly competitive field?
Vinny emphasizes learning from each race, staying flexible with goals, and relying on his training, gut feeling for fueling and pacing, while acknowledging the presence of elite competitors.
Vinny Mauri's Peak Week Training for Chicago is INSANE
Q: What was the mindset during the peak-day 45-mile block and how did you handle the time on feet?
He explains the day felt unimaginably long but focused on maintaining strong effort with deliberate rest and fueling choices, finishing the day strong and using the experience to boost confidence.
