In this episode, Andrew and Colin chat about their upcoming adventure to Greece—because running the original marathon route isn’t just about the miles, it’s about the journey (and the snacks). 🥐 Expect plenty of talk about the local pastry shop, strategic coffee stops, and, of course, how Andrew plans to sneak in breaks along the way.

But it’s not all about food! They’re also gearing up to meet ultra-running legend Dean Karnazes and Jo Manta, who finished 4th in Spartathlon! With history, iconic routes, and some serious running royalty, this trip is shaping up to be one for the record books.

Oh, and yes, they do talk about running… eventually. From (questionable) training plans to race day strategies, plus some solid history chat on Rock of Marathon, this one’s packed with craic, carbs, and running inspiration.

🎧 Tune in for the banter, stay for the legends!

Ryan is not a running enthusiast just a legend in the endurance community for his selflessness. While crewing for his runner, he went the extra mile—literally and figuratively—by bringing extra burgers and feeding other runners and crews. Why? Because he cares and loves helping others achieve their goals.

We dive into Ryan’s inspiring story, his unique approach to supporting ultra runners, and how his generosity has made a lasting impact on the running community. Plus, we discuss how simple gestures can make a big difference in endurance events, where camaraderie and kindness matter just as much as the miles.

Whether you’re a marathon runner, trail lover, or ultra-running crew member, this episode is packed with heartwarming stories, running wisdom, and plenty of laughs. You won’t want to miss it!
