If you like real progress, bad excuses, and two friends refusing to let each other off the hook, this one is for you.Scott and Charles kick things off with the kind of banter only two guys deep into a long-running challenge can have—then the scale decides the whole episode. What starts as a casual midweek check-in quickly spirals into candy confessions, rain-soaked motivation, and a very real mile run that has to happen before the night is over.In this episode, Scott and Charles break down:

• Their weekly weight-loss challenge—and how one weigh-in can lead to a punishment run
• Why Halloween candy, creature comforts, and “just a few pieces” can wreck a calorie budget
• How Zwift is changing the way they ride, including new routes and augmented reality features
• Their race calendar, from Winterfest and Hot Chocolate Run to Snowball Series and beyond

Scott shares what’s working in his training, including lifting consistency, running progress, and more structured goals. Charles talks about balancing workouts with travel, family plans, and a diet tested by brats, candy, and post-workout hunger.If you’re chasing a fitness goal, trying to stay accountable, or want to hear two friends roast each other while planning their next races, this episode delivers chaos, motivation, and brotherly pressure. Progress can be messy—but showing up still counts.

Two weigh-ins, one absurd candy diet, and a gravel race that nearly defeated Scott with a seven-mile climb.

If you like cycling, triathlon, Zwift, or watching two friends try to outdo each other with fitness bets, this episode is a chaotic check-in you’ll want to hear.

Scott and Charles open with the weekly scale showdown, and the results immediately change the stakes. Scott is shocked by a surprising drop after a week of creatine, Halloween candy, and a race weekend, while Charles’s weigh-in sets the stage for the latest running challenges. Dylan Kohler adds extra miles to the deal, turning every pound gained or lost into real consequences.

Then Scott recaps his 49-mile gravel race in Marthasville, Missouri, where the scenery was beautiful, the climbs were brutal, and a mechanical chain drop added to the adventure. He shares the creek crossings, relentless hills, and why one steep Strava segment had both riders rethinking their gearing.

Scott and Charles also talk Zwift, Tour of Watopia, brick workouts, lifting, nutrition, and the momentum they’re building toward tri season. They look ahead to upcoming races and next year’s possibilities, including Kansas City, Rockford, Muncie, Michigan, and Chattanooga.

Expect training talk, friendly trash talk, Halloween candy confessions, and the kind of honest fitness banter that comes from two friends holding each other accountable—one weigh-in and one challenge at a time.

Charles shows up confident - and immediately gets humbled by the scale, the mileage math, and a week of Zwift chaos that turns into a full-blown debate over cheating, route badges, and the Tron bike. If you like endurance training, weight-loss accountability, or watching two friends turn fitness into a competitive sport, this episode is for you. But the real drama is the running and cycling challenge board, where every pound lost or gained starts turning into miles owed before the next episode.

You’ll hear the guys break down:

• the weekly weight bet with Charles and the new challenge Dylan throws into the mix
• why one Zwift route counted, one didn’t, and how a “complete” ride somehow still missed the badge
• the difference between banded rides, timed group rides, and the annoying little details that decide whether your workout counts
• how the Everest challenge actually works, why it’s a trap, and what it takes to unlock the Tron bike
• the push toward a first uninterrupted 5K, plus the mental shift that makes running feel different now

They also get into training updates, protein struggles, lifting progress, another strong Zwift week, a gravel ride on the calendar, and a brutally honest fat boy confession involving pizza, donuts, and a very bad day for the diet. Along the way, there’s plenty of talk about pickleball, race plans, and the kind of accountability that only exists when your friends can publicly call you out.

This one is equal parts fitness check-in, challenge update, and comedy of errors. Perfect for anyone who loves endurance sports, gym progress, or the sound of grown adults arguing with a cycling app like it owes them money.
