13.1 Miles Later

We Ran a HALF MARATHON… and Survived (Barely) 🏃‍♂️

We actually did it… 13.1 miles later and we’re still standing (kind of).

In this episode, we break down EVERYTHING from our first half marathon — the highs, the lows, the cramps, the questionable decisions (yes… including mid-race beer), and whether we’ll ever do it again.

Spoiler: we both finished… and somehow beat our goals.


If you’ve ever wondered “Can beginners run a half marathon?” or “What does a half marathon feel like?” — this episode is for you.

  • Our official half marathon times (and how shocked we are)
  • Race day experience from start to finish
  • When everything started going downhill (literally and mentally)
  • Running vs walking strategy
  • Fueling mistakes (and small wins)
  • Post-race pain… and why we could barely walk for days
  • The brutal truth about recovery
  • Weigh-ins (yes… we’re both up 😅)
  • Why weight gain after a race is normal
  • Monthly challenge update (not going great)
  • Full pizza vs White Castle regret
  • Eating like garbage after burning thousands of calories
  • Trying to get back on track
  • Rookies & Rockstars Triathlon prep
  • Upcoming races (Tour de Donut, 5Ks, more)
  • New goals (including running a full 5K without stopping)
  • Non-scale victory of the week
  • Goof of the week
  • Fat boy confession (you already know…)

This was the hardest thing we’ve ever done… and we’re honestly proud as hell we finished.

But yeah… still kinda hate running.
