Allegheny Sport & Outdoor Radio

Physical therapist, Pitt professor, and endurance athlete Sean Crandell joins Chas Wagner to talk about big adventures, from riding Pittsburgh to D.C. in one day to a big bike-run-bike challenge on the GAP Trail and Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. Sean and Chas discuss Type 2 fun, how Sean helps athletes recover sustainably, AI’s role in patient care, and the upside to smaller boutique PT facilities, such as Foley Physical Therapy.

Launch episode of Allegheny Sport & Outdoor Radio!

We sat down with Matt Mauclair at Beans 'N' Creams in Aspinwall to talk about Pittsburgh’s endurance sport community, his path from hoops to Ironman to ultrarunning, and what still keeps him curious after decades in the sport.

The conversation is less about race results than it is about process: how sport teaches patience, why community matters through his work with P3R, what the Grand Canyon can reveal if you slow down enough to listen, and why every person standing on a start line carries a story worth honoring.
