This week’s episode takes a very real — and unexpected — turn.
Lewis and Mitch dive into the chaos of everyday running life, from impatient drivers to moments of pure kindness on the road. But what starts as a lighthearted chat quickly becomes a powerful conversation when Mitch opens up about a sudden stroke that changed everything.

🎙️ In This Episode:

The growing rush of drivers — and how runners can stay safe.

The surprising kindness of strangers (and how we sometimes react).

Mitch’s frightening stroke experience while on vacation — and his incredible recovery story.

What it means to slow down, reevaluate, and find gratitude in the everyday.

A look ahead to the California Fall Classic 100K — training updates, gear talk, and realistic race goals.

A shoutout to Laura for crushing the Mammoth 200 and showing what true endurance looks like.
