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.

• 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

• 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.

🏁 What We Cover:⚖️ Weekly Check-In:🍕 Post-Race Damage:🚴 What’s Next:🏆 Wins & Fails:

This week on 2 Guys 1 Scale, we kick things off with a post-ride weigh-in (after croissants… obviously), questionable decision-making, and a whole lot of honesty. The scale didn’t exactly reward us, but we’re not backing down—because in just a few days, we’re attempting a HALF MARATHON 😅

We talk:

• Croissant-fueled weigh-ins 🥐
• Fat Boy Confessions (it gets bad…)
• The reality check of training (or not training)
• Our new monthly triathlon challenge
• Bike gains vs. running pain 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️
• And whether we’re about to survive 13.1 miles… or not

There’s some real talk in this one too—about motivation, family, and why it’s time to actually lock in.

Next episode: we either celebrate becoming half marathoners… or report live from the hospital.
