    In Episode 44 we share pre-race thoughts from past guests who are running in the Olympic Trials in L.A. on Saturday (and a few who aren’t).

True to form, Gregg plays it right down the middle while Brenn plays the longshots. On your mark, get set…

    In Episode 43 we discuss all things intergalactic with Star Wars freak Nick Arciniaga, who hopes to qualify for the Olympics at the marathon trials in L.A. on February 13. Nick gets us up to speed on his training and racing, tells us which Star Wars character would make the best marathon runner, and has the final word on who shot first at the Mos Eisley cantina. In other gravity defying matters, Gregg ponders whether to Alter-G or not to Alter-G.

  • Episode 41: The OT qualifier, Chicago’s race within a race

    The Chicago Marathon is this Sunday Oct. 11, and for our interview guest Angela Ortiz and other hopeful runners, hitting an Olympic Trials qualifying time (2:43:00 for women, 2:18:00 for men) is the goal. Angela, who is coached by Mark Hadley and who runs with the North Brooklyn Runners, describes the training that has helped her slice nearly an hour off her debut marathon time to a PR of 2:49. Elsewhere in the episode we compare Eliud Kipchoge to Mo Farah, discuss the latest on Sara and Ryan Hall, and describe our injury/rehab (Gregg) and NYC marathon prep (Brenn).

  • Episode 40: 5th Avenue Mile

    Meb holds the tape for the victorious Nick Willis

    The 5th Avenue Mile is a spirited encore at the end of a long season for elite mid-distance runners. In Episode 40 we’ve got post-race interview clips from the Big Apple with Nick Willis, Chris O’Hare, and Jenny Simpson. Elsewhere in the show Brenn and Gregg toss Paula Radcliffe, Usain Bolt, Cam Levins, and Malcolm Gladwell into the ongoing dope talk. Do doping suspicions affect who you root for? And who is America’s best distance runner? We offer our two cents (pence for those on Gregg’s side of the pond).

  • Episode 39: Mystery solved

    In Episode 39 Gregg chats with Runner’s World columnist Peter Gambaccini, who in a recent article pieced together the US men’s and women’s marathon teams for the IAAF World Track and Field Championships in Beijing. We scratch our heads about why USATF withheld that information, particularly in light of the Pan Am Games selection fiasco. On the bright side, great match-ups are afoot on the track, and Brenn shares effective training habits from Alan Ruben and James Chu.

    Nobody doubts Alberto Salazar’s determination to help his Nike Oregon Project athletes run fast, but the potions and lotions he has reportedly used to that end have put him in a pickle. In Episode 38, Gregg and Brenn discuss how Salazar has interpreted the rules of track and field, and why it matters.

    Following the Pittsburgh Marathon on May 3, Tyler McCandless described his 4th place, 2:18:28 finish as “athletic heartbreak.” We catch up with Tyler, our guest from Episode 17, and the class act details his Steel City experience and offers fresh insight on how to improve.
