  • Love this podcast!

    The training on a treadmill episode came out just when I needed it.

    And the Pinky and the Brain reference at the very end was the cherry on top!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Your Story Your Why" - Michael Otteson - Episode 8
Q: What happened at Boston in terms of the near miss and how did that impact you?
Boston was shaping up to be a strong performance, potentially a 2:11–2:12, but at mile 24 my right hand string seized up. I paused, stretched, and then limped to Boylston Street, finishing just over 2:16. It was heartbreaking to miss the OTQ by a small margin, yet it fueled my determination to improve and keep chasing the standard.
"Your Story Your Why" - Michael Otteson - Episode 8
Q: What was it like transitioning from NCAA competition to marathon running after college?
After college, I wanted to try the marathon because I believed the longer distance played to my strengths. The first year as a post-collegiate was a mix of a semi-professional lifestyle and school, and my debut at CIM in 2021 exposed me to fueling challenges and the reality of the sport's demands, which I used as a learning experience for future attempts.
"Your Story Your Why" - Michael Otteson - Episode 8
Q: So thank you for joining me today. Maybe we can start a little by talking about your background and how you got into running.
I got into running at a very young age, around junior high, and I learned early that I could push through and suffer longer than my peers. I wasn't the most talented, but I believed hard work would pay off, and I kept chasing running through college and beyond, even walking on at BYU after not being recruited initially.

Q: How does the app account for variations like poor sleep, illness, or travel?
It reroutes and adjusts future workouts to keep progression toward the goal, recognizing that life events can alter fitness, and uses adaptive planning rather than a fixed path.
323. Stop Scrambling for Marathon PRs: The Science of High-Volume, Slow Running
Q: How do you handle differences between elite athletes and beginners in the same system?
The system scales with current training state and projects forward, so the same logic can apply from beginners to elite, as the core drivers—load, consistency, and adaptation—remain the same.
