On this episode, the boyz had Caitlyn Miller back on the pod! If you remember from our first episode with Caitlyn, she was announcing her move from Florida to Colorado. We got the update on how life has been in Colorado and also how business is with Expntl Athletics!

Caitlyn will be lining up at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in just a couple weeks, so we talked a lot about how her training block went and plans for race day. The block hasn’t been perfect as business and life have been busy, and also the adjustment to altitude has been tough! Despite that, Caitlyn put together some really strong weeks and workout and is confident about her sub 2:50 goal.

We can’t thank Caitlyn enough for her time and also her support for the pod. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz recap an epic Chicago Marathon weekend. Chris couldn’t make the actual recording so you will hear his 15 minute recap first and then we will roll into the episode which featured both Cheston and our friend Chris Sadler.

This is a long episode but it is a banger. There is so much to talk about from Chicago weekend and we broke it all down! Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had Thomas Cave back on the pod! Thomas coaches both Danny and Chris via Thomson Training, as well as Trinity High School in Louisville, KY.

If you want to get to know Thomas more, check out our first episode with him! In this one, we discussed how Year 2 of coaching Trinity has been. The team has been running great all year and is favored to win the state championship again. Thomas also started teaching at the high school this year so we talked a bit about that career transition for him!

The second half of the pod, Danny and Chris had their last pre-Chicago Marathon discussion with Thomas. Both of our training blocks went very well, so it was exciting to discuss the race plan with our coach live on the pod before traveling to Chicago!

Those of you who follow us on Strava have probably seen the results - we will discuss in full next episode which will go live later this week! This one was really fun, there are a lot of good tidbits about training, racing, and coaching. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Joe Greer! Joe is a husband, father, photographer, and runner.

Friend of the pod Eric Floberg made a documentary about Joe’s life that will be available to the public by the end of 2024 called “Moving Still.” There have been a few premiers of the film already, but if you want to dive deeper than this episode into Joe’s life, make sure you follow both Eric and Joe on socials for release details.

Joe had a really interesting career journey. He dropped out of college and went to bible college in Washington. His plan was to become a pastor. But then - Instagram came out. Joe quickly gained a following on Instagram with his photography and ended up working at the company VSCO (all of you OG Instagram users remember VSCO, right?).

From there, his photography career took off and Joe is now a full time photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend a follow to Joe’s Instagram account, which will be linked below.

Joe ran in high school, but found running again in his 30s after an extended break. He quickly learned he was talented at the sport and now, at age 36, is shooting for a sub 2:30 at the Chicago Marathon. We discussed his training block and race plans.

We had a really nice time getting to know Joe a little better, and we think you will too. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Trip Ison! Trip is an Ironman, ultramarathoner, podcast host, public speaker, and owns a construction consultation company!

Trip struggled with addiction/alcohol for several years after college. In 2020, he took a hard look in the mirror and decided this wasn’t the life he wanted to live. Empowered by his faith, he became sober and made some major life changes along the way. 15 months after deciding to turn his life around, he completed an Ironman.

Trip now speaks publicly at high schools around the country, hoping to inspire and save the younger generation from making the same mistakes he did. He also has a podcast and brand called “Ain’t Dead Yet,” and we discussed where he got the name from at the start of the pod.

This was an awesome episode, please check out Trip’s socials and pod linked below. Enjoy!
