The PR Project crew is back, and we are kicking things off with a massive shoutout to our new sponsor, Precision Fuel and Hydration! After some banter about how proud we actually are of our diets and a brief history of MSG, we dive straight into Tommie’s official Berlin Marathon recap. Tommie breaks down his battle with returning cramps and explains how his ultra-running background ultimately helped him push through 26.2 miles.

On the pro side, we discuss Vincent Mauri’s crazy Chicago Marathon training block and how he stacks up against Clayton Young. We also react to Yomif Kejelcha’s blazing Half Marathon World Record and his outlook for Valencia, plus the latest announcements around Nike Apex and SwooshFly. In Run Culture Court, we debate the ethics of running through a cemetery and call out runners who claim they "can't run slow paces." Finally, we wrap up with a full shoe review of the adidas adizero Adios Pro 5!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE 
It is just Tommie and Aaron holding it down this week, and we are going all-in on Chicago Marathon preparation! If you are traveling for a marathon this fall, this is your ultimate guide. We break down the do's and don'ts of your packing checklist, the real secrets to carb loading, and how to avoid the trappings of the race expo. We also cover the logistics of choosing a shakeout run, planning your marathon eve dinner, and how to stop doom scrolling the night before the race.
 
Once race morning hits, we talk about getting to the start line and keeping your effort honest in the first half of the race. We also dive deep into the Chicago Marathon route details, including that dreadful out-and-back portion and the infamous "Mt. Roosevelt" waiting for you at the end! Beyond the marathon, we react to Wiz Khalifa becoming the newest running superstar, discuss Hyrox's latest incontinence scandal, and review the On Cloudboom Strike 2. Plus, Run Culture Court is in session to decide what actually constitutes a proper PR and to yell at people who walk in lane 1 of a public track!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The PR Project crew is back to talk training, tech, and the funniest unwritten rules in run culture! We kick things off by discussing the reality of staying fit enough for different race distances and whether trail running needs a PR rebrand. We also dive into the tech side of running: do you actually pay attention to your watch's race predictions, or are they completely made up?
 
Tommie gives us an update on his quick build for the Berlin Marathon, and Aaron shares his progress on running every single street in Pontiac. Then, we have a great conversation about leaning back into goal-driven running content instead of just lifestyle posts. Of course, Run Culture Court is in session to discuss drivers interacting with runners, and we settle the absolute wildest debate: is it sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe? Finally, we wrap up with a full shoe review of the TYR Valkyrie Elite v2!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For episode 135, the PR Project crew is back on the mic to tackle some of the most highly debated topics in the running community! We kick things off with Tommie's rough return to marathon workouts and discuss how to properly approach your training when you are early in a new block. We also laugh about Tommie's hilarious social media "Unc moment," Gary's competitive edge wearing spikes on the track, and the crew's excitement about Abdul El-Sayed following the podcast on Instagram.
 
Then, Run Culture Court is officially in session! We dive into the controversial topic of men's-only run clubs, the toxic habit of stalking someone's Strava for elapsed time versus moving time, and whether there is ever a legitimate reason to bandit a race. We also debate the unwritten rules of drafting off a stranger's workout without telling them. Finally, our homie Complex Carbs drops in for a full shoe review of the highly anticipated R.A.D. UFO, and we wrap up with a well-deserved shoutout to Sid from PYNRS!

Do you wave at other runners when you're out on a run—and what happens when they don't wave back? In this episode, we tackle the biggest unwritten rules of running etiquette, discuss the brand new Gordie Howe Bridge, and review the Mizuno Neo Vista 3!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The PR Project crew is back on the mic to debate some of the most hilariously polarizing topics in the running community! We kick things off with some lifestyle talk (are you a "shoes off" in the house person?) before getting into the excitement of running the brand new Gordie Howe Bridge and shouting out Mama Runz' Hope Beyond Borders 5k.
 
Then, we hold a massive session of Run Culture Court! We dive into the ultimate running faux pas: runners who don't wave back, serial charity bib runners, the ethics of wearing a race shirt for a race you didn't actually run, and the absolute chaos of people sneaking into the wrong race corrals. We also debate the age-old athletic question: would you rather win the slow heat or finish last in the fast heat? Finally, our friend @complexcarbs drops in for a full shoe review of the Mizuno Neo Vista 3!
