Editor-in-chief David Willey talks with comedian Liz Miele about how running keeps her sane, and stokes her funny. (2:10)

Producer Christine Fennessy gets the lowdown from training editor Meghan Kita on why runners really need to back off and rest once in a while (and gets staffers to admit to times when they ran when they really shouldn't have. And paid for it.) (27:01)

In the Kick, we talk about marathoners denied a Boston qualifier, another attempt to set a record running the Appalachian Trail, and Apple's latest and greatest. (39:49)
