I'll show you food from a running youtuber's video, you guess Who's Food Is That?

Unboxings shoes from Adidas and Topo. Got a couple packages of merch. Plus, a long discussion on gel viscosity.

In this episode, I picked 16 shoes from 2024 and set them up in single elimination. Each shoe will go head to head against another shoe, and the chat gets to vote on which is uglier. See which shoe reigns supreme!

After Valencia and CIM, we had so many updates to the Fastest Known Marathon shoe sheet. Plus some unboxings and ringing of the PR bell

I'll show you a super close up picture of a running shoe, you have to Name That Shoe!

While we're talking about your turkey trots, let's taste test some bars and chews from Skratch and Gu. Also, we added four new shoes to the Shoe Weights Sheet

TRE is next week, so I crowdsource some questions to ask the brands when I meet with them. And, we do a Ciele unboxing.

Note: because I'll be at TRE, there will be no livestreams the week before Thanksgiving

I've got some new taste testing to do on the livestream today, a bunch of shoes that I still need to unbox and add to the Shoe Sheet, and some running shoe questions

Sara Vaughn just finished as top American in New York and 6th overall. And this was all just a few weeks after having to drop out early in Chicago.

Just got back from spectating and cheering at the New York Marathon 2024. AMA.

I tell some stories from New York, and some new times to the Fastest Known Marathon sheet, and after some unboxings, I add some weights to the Shoe Weights sheet.
