  • My running friends

    Can’t say enough good things about this podcast. I was looking for inspiration when I could barely run a mile, and thanks to this podcast I’ve run two 50Ks in the last year and am just getting started! Thanks for keeping me laughing even when my feet hurt.

  • I always come back

    I started listening to TJM at the start, when Scotty introduced it to me at IT100 at the beginning.

    I like to listen to a lot of podcasts, about running, coaching, history, politics, news, archeology, science, Ireland, with authors, musicians, journalists, and more. It becomes overwhelming and I end up dumping them all. TJM is the first one I come back to and I’ve listened to every episode, except episode 2. I enjoy the Meet the Nation hearing of everyday listeners like me, really like some of ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Long Run 268 - What The Hell Is A Peptide - Dr. Nicole Yedlinsky
Q: Why are peptides often perceived as safe or effective by the public, and what should listeners be cautious about?
Public perception is influenced by anecdotes and endorsements from wellness figures, but without rigorous trials, there can be placebo effects and unrecognized risks; listeners should be cautious about sourcing, dosing, regulatory status, potential contamination, and the lack of verified safety/efficacy data.
Long Run 268 - What The Hell Is A Peptide - Dr. Nicole Yedlinsky
Q: Are there any legitimate clinical studies supporting the use of these peptides for performance or recovery?
Very few peptides have robust human clinical trial data for performance or recovery; some exist but are part of larger compounds or limited trials, and for many experimental peptides there is no high-quality evidence to support efficacy or safety for athletes.
Long Run 268 - What The Hell Is A Peptide - Dr. Nicole Yedlinsky
Q: What exactly is a peptide, and how is it typically administered?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids that can act as signaling molecules in the body, and most peptides used outside approved therapies are administered via injections because oral ingestion usually breaks them down; however, there is no standard, medically approved protocol for many of these substances.
Meet The Nation 349 - Sean Camfield
Q: What are you training for now and what's next after the Pacific Northwest race season?
He explains ongoing training in the Pacific Northwest where many races were canceled due to fires, and mentions signing up for a 24-hour event in Oregon with the goal of a sub-24-hour time, aiming to keep training momentum despite disruptions.
Meet The Nation 349 - Sean Camfield
Q: Tell me a little bit about your running. How did you get into it? How did you get to where you are today? Tell me your origin story.
Camfield describes starting around age 35 at a heavy weight and smoking habit, transitioning through walking to running, then discovering ultras, and eventually building a long ultrarunning resume while navigating life changes like quitting smoking and modifying drinking habits.
