In this month's banter episode, Eli and Tony talk about a podcast trick called "chocolate raining" and agree that neither of them ever want that term in their Google search history. They also agree to only talk about one coronavirus topic per episode, and then set a timer on themselves to keep their conversation about how Aid Stations might look different after coronavirus from taking over the whole episode. An interesting experiment at the London Marathon and Tony's experience with Tetra Pak at the Dallas Marathon both pose interesting potential solutions, as do enhanced self-serve and BYO hydration options.

Inspired by images from a Twitter thread about irregularly-shaped running tracks, Christina does a pop-in segment where she and Eli reminisce about their glory days competing in indoor track when they were juuuust a little younger, and talk about fun non-traditional events that could be held on irregular tracks. And then Eli asks Tony to share his recent non-traditional coronavirus running routine--inspired by some combination of Forrest Gump, Mike Wardian, and Stacy saying in the previous episode that she thinks of Eli as more of a runner than Tony. Tony also shares how he and some industry folks have been supporting other runners during the pandemic and how you can, too.

We had so much to talk about this episode that we went over our monthly time allowance with our hosting service, so buckle up!
