In this episode we talk to the one and only Jordan Hasay.  In 2017 Jordan had her marathon debut at Boston where she finished third in 2:23:00, the fastest marathon debut by an American woman by almost three minutes.   She followed that up with the Chicago Marathon where she finished third in a time of 2:20:57.  This makes her the second fastest American woman at that distance.

We talk about where her love of running comes from; the influence of her parents; about her coach, Alberto Salazar and the Nike Oregon Project; SWORD, her choice for fueling her marathons, and so much more.

On November 11, 2017, Camille Herron set the 100 mile world record in a blazing 12:42:39 at Tunnel Hill and crushed the old world record by over an hour.

In this episode Crystal and Chandler have a chance to talk to not only Camille but also to race director, Steven Durbin.  There may even be a cameo appearance by Camille's husband Conor Holt.

So what does it take to run a 100 miles under 13 hours?  Apparently the secret lies in Taco Bell, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, and a pair of new shoes.
