Joel Reichow is an unsponsored marathoner who's been running with Minnesota Distance Elite for a while now, but he's finally had that breakout year, winning Grandma's Marathon (to go along with his prior Gary Bjorklund Half Marathon at Grandma's win in 2023) and also coming in 6th in New York with a sub 2:10 time. In this Bonus Episode! I talk with Joel about his race day, the shoes he's been training and racing in as a free agent, and I also do a quick check on just how Minnesota Runner this Minnesota native is.
