On this episode, the boys started off with a recap of Scotty's 10k race last weekend! He had a solid race overall and some fun stories to share from race morning. We talked about his last move to shake off some competition late in the race, his rivalry with our good friend and LIS coach Stauderman, and more!

Chris gave some final thoughts on McKirdy Marathon this coming weekend. The back and glute aren't 100% but the shape and race opportunity are great so we are going to give it a big effort and see what happens!

Lastly, Danny has been running in both altitude and heat the past couple weeks. We talked about the difference between training at heat and altitude and which one Danny thinks is harder. Enjoy!

On this episode, I did a recap of some recent pro running news and also previewed my McKirdy Marathon this weekend a bit!

Some of the biggest news was last week where Clayton Young announced his signing with Brooks. I broke down why I think he signed with Brooks and if it will be a good fit. On this topic, I went through Connor Mantz and Clayton's recent Strava workouts to see what kind of shape they are in for Boston. Will they be as good as last year?

Finally, I talked World Indoor Champs where we saw an epic race between Kerr and Hocker, a 17 year-old American win the 800, and no Africans medal in ANY EVENT!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest and ultra-running legend Zach Bitter! Zach has claimed world records at the 100 mile and 12 hour events. We heard more about his prolific career on this podcast and how he trains for huge efforts like this.

Zach wasn't always a high-carb runner. In fact, in one of his record attempts he only took about 40g of carbs per hour! He is now on the high-carb train and explained that decision. We also got some insight on how he recovers after huge efforts, his thoughts on backyard ultras, and more!

On this episode, the boys had some banter. We chatted about Scotty and Danny's mid-week workouts: Scotty had a nice 12 x 800 sesh with the boys (video on Youtube) and Danny ran some 2k repeats at altitude in Colorado!

Strieg is one week out from his sub-2:20 attempt at McKirdy next weekend; we got his pre-race thoughts and also the Puma Fast R3 review from him (as well as looked up the weight of several other super shoes lol). We capped off the pod answering some listener questions we received via email. Enjoy!

On this episode we had special guest Jon Green on the pod! Jon is one of the top distance running coaches in the country, working with athletes like Rory Linkletter, Philly Bowden, and several other pros.

We had him on at a great time as Rory just ran an excellent race at the NYC Half. We got Jon's reaction to the race and a bit of Boston preview as well. He talked about the best way to pace a marathon for a pro vs an amateur and also gave us some good insight on how he trains his athletes.

Enjoy!
