On this episode, the boys had special guest Chris Chavez on the podcast! Chris is the founder of Citius Mag, one of the biggest running media outlets in the world! We got the full origin story + what’s next for them on this episode.

Chris also gave us the breakdown of his journey to sub-3 marathon! We get a lot of messages asking about how to get to a sub-3 marathon and think you will find Chris’s story very relatable. We also chatted about a few fun topics like: making track more popular in the US, is it OK to fun run the Boston Marathon, the New World Major Marathon locations, and more! Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had some banter mainly focused on the Boston Marathon! Chris gave some heel healing updates and some quick post-race thoughts on McKirdy while Scotty also talked about his tough race at the 10 Miler last weekend!

For Boston Marathon - we chatted Chris and Danny’s approach to PR at Boston, if fun running is okay or frowned upon at Boston, and gave some predictions on a couple pro friends too!

Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Aaron Bienenfeld! Aaron is one of Germany’s best distance runners and is currently training with Jon Green’s group in Flagstaff as he prepares for his first marathon.

Aaron just came off a result he was a bit disappointed with at “The TEN” in California. We talked through that result  a bit and also dug into some of his training as he gears up for his debut marathon in Hamburg this Spring.

We chatted a good bit about coming to the US from Germany for college too. Aaron started at Cincinnati before eventually transferring to Oregon. It was fun to hear about the Oregon experience!

Enjoy and give Aaron a follow below!

On this episode, I did a solo recap of running news from the past week while also talking a bit about my own training! I gave an update on my heel injury and talked about how I plan to pace the Boston Marathon now.

Some of the big news of the last week was Conner Mantz dropping out of the Boston Marathon! His post said he wasn't ready to go - is he injured again? What does this mean for the American field now?

I also touched on some NCAA news including Jane Hedengren setting the NCAA 10k record in impressive fashion with a big negative split. Enjoy!

On this episode, we had special guest Thomas Nobbs on the podcast! Thomas just came off a huge PR at McKirdy Marathon last weekend, where he ran 2:09 to become the 4th fastest Canadian all-time! Even more impressive- he ran the last 35k completely solo.

Thomas actually ran at University of Washington for a bit before finishing up at University of British Columbia. He now resides in Ottawa - meaning he had to train for this race almost entirely on the treadmill! We talked about his training and nutrition on this pod and also walked through his pre-race routines.

Of course, we got the full recap of race weekend and also what might be next for Thomas. We hope to see him with a shoe contract and in a major marathon this fall!

On this episode, the boys had on the legend Jess Donohue after her epic 2:34 marathon at McKirdy last weekend!

We first had Jess on after she won the McKirdy Breaking 3 race last year in her debut marathon. 1 year later, she returned in the McKirdy OTQ race and earned her place in the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon for 2028! We got the full race recap on this episode. This was an emotional and inspiring episode, we hope Jess's story inspires you to chase after your dreams too!

On this episode, the boys had one of the top journalists in running, Jonathan Gault, on the podcast! Jonathan has been a journalist for LetsRun for over 10 years now. He is one of the biggest experts in the sport! We started off the pod hearing a bit about his career journey and how he got started at LetsRun.

We also got into some current event topics in running. We had Jon pick his top 3 Americans for the Boston Marathon (before we knew Mantz wasn't running!), talked about if the World Record could go down at London Marathon, Josh Kerr's mile world record chances, and more!

On this solo episode, I gave a full breakdown of the McKirdy Micro OTQ Marathon weekend! Unfortunately, the race ended in a DNF in one of the most brutal ways possible, but I have some positive takeaways about my fitness level.

At the end of the episode, I also discussed some recent running news including Berlin Half, Shelby Houlihan 10k record attempt, Albert Korir getting popped for doping, and more!

On this episode, the boys took questions from Instagram and answered them on this pod! We love doing these episodes, you all always send thoughtful questions and some funny ones too. We hit on a lot of great topics here!

We chatted our running mentors, how Danny built a running community in St. Louis, running gear including what watches we think are the best, and more!

McKirdy has already happened but we chatted a bit of McKirdy pre-race as well on this one. Enjoy!
