🎙️ Curious Over Confidence: The Return of Coach P

Hold onto your track shoes, because this week’s episode of Off The Strength is a masterclass in running, culture, and cutting through the noise! Tony Vidal and KR Jones welcome back their resident run-club-sage, Percell “Coach P” Dugger, for an unfiltered conversation that races through topics faster than a marathoner hitting the Mile 20 wall. 🏃🏽‍♂️💨

Expect hot takes on:
🏅 Racing vs. Running—are you out there for the love or the glory?
🗽 Why Manhattan is the borough to beat on the NYC Marathon route.
🚴‍♂️ Cyclists are banned, Matt Choi got the boot, and NYRR’s beef with recording—what’s really going on?
👟 How brands are actually building community through underground meet-ups (and what happens when they’re just chasing clout).
💰 Pay to Play in running culture—is access really equal?
🤔 Curiosity vs. Confidence—how great coaches guide athletes to unlock their potential without letting ego run the show.

But wait, there’s more:
🌍 Scaling your impact without selling your soul.
🫡 Lessons in grace, grit, and grinding from a coach who’s seen it all.
💡 New run crews redefining what it means to blend lifestyle with sport.
🫀 Why heart disease is the real marathon NYC needs to run.

From deep dives into the 2024 running boom to the eternal question of who’s really here for the community, Coach P, Tony, and KR leave no mile marker unturned. Tune in for sharp insights, a few laughs, and enough inspiration to lace up and hit the pavement. 🎧

💥 Because the journey isn’t about being confident—it’s about staying curious.
