On this episode, the boys had our good friend Corbin Harris back on the podcast! Corbin is one of the best runners in the Kentucky road running scene right now, with PRs of 2:21 in the marathon, 66 minutes in the half, 31:20 in the 10k, and 14:53 in the 5k!

Corbin recently ran the Marathon Project in December, rolling with the OTQ group for a lot of the race and was able to hang on for a nice 2:21 personal best! In the last couple weeks, Corbin has been racing the Triple Crown series that Scotty has been doing, taking second in the 5k and 10k. In the 5k, he broke 15 for the first time!

We talked a lot about race strategy and how he plans to approach the 10 miler next weekend in hopes of a victory to finish out the race series! We also touched on a few current event topics in running. Enjoy!

On this episode, Chris chatted with Ben Felton and Felix Waldek before the Berlin Half this Sunday! Felix is one of our OG Life in Stride athletes and is hosting Ben at his house in Berlin for the weekend!

Felix knows the course well and was able to give an excellent course preview. We also talked about his training and pace plan for Berlin Half as he gears up for Manchester Marathon here in a few weeks!

Ben is hoping to break 65 minutes on Sunday - we chatted pace plan, pre-race fuel and supplements, race shoes, and his training between Barcelona Half and Berlin. He had one really key workout featured on one of his YouTube videos that we specifically talked about, being the 5k-4k-3k-2k-1k session.

Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys started off with a recap of Scotty's 10k race last weekend! He had a solid race overall and some fun stories to share from race morning. We talked about his last move to shake off some competition late in the race, his rivalry with our good friend and LIS coach Stauderman, and more!

Chris gave some final thoughts on McKirdy Marathon this coming weekend. The back and glute aren't 100% but the shape and race opportunity are great so we are going to give it a big effort and see what happens!

Lastly, Danny has been running in both altitude and heat the past couple weeks. We talked about the difference between training at heat and altitude and which one Danny thinks is harder. Enjoy!

On this episode, I did a recap of some recent pro running news and also previewed my McKirdy Marathon this weekend a bit!

Some of the biggest news was last week where Clayton Young announced his signing with Brooks. I broke down why I think he signed with Brooks and if it will be a good fit. On this topic, I went through Connor Mantz and Clayton's recent Strava workouts to see what kind of shape they are in for Boston. Will they be as good as last year?

Finally, I talked World Indoor Champs where we saw an epic race between Kerr and Hocker, a 17 year-old American win the 800, and no Africans medal in ANY EVENT!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest and ultra-running legend Zach Bitter! Zach has claimed world records at the 100 mile and 12 hour events. We heard more about his prolific career on this podcast and how he trains for huge efforts like this.

Zach wasn't always a high-carb runner. In fact, in one of his record attempts he only took about 40g of carbs per hour! He is now on the high-carb train and explained that decision. We also got some insight on how he recovers after huge efforts, his thoughts on backyard ultras, and more!

On this episode, the boys had some banter. We chatted about Scotty and Danny's mid-week workouts: Scotty had a nice 12 x 800 sesh with the boys (video on Youtube) and Danny ran some 2k repeats at altitude in Colorado!

Strieg is one week out from his sub-2:20 attempt at McKirdy next weekend; we got his pre-race thoughts and also the Puma Fast R3 review from him (as well as looked up the weight of several other super shoes lol). We capped off the pod answering some listener questions we received via email. Enjoy!

On this episode we had special guest Jon Green on the pod! Jon is one of the top distance running coaches in the country, working with athletes like Rory Linkletter, Philly Bowden, and several other pros.

We had him on at a great time as Rory just ran an excellent race at the NYC Half. We got Jon's reaction to the race and a bit of Boston preview as well. He talked about the best way to pace a marathon for a pro vs an amateur and also gave us some good insight on how he trains his athletes.

Enjoy!

On this episode, we had the man, the myth, Johannes Motschmann back on the pod! Johannes is deep in marathon training right now, primarily based at home in Germany.

He decided to keep his Spring pretty local, staying in his hometown and planning all of his races in Germany. He plans to race Berlin Half soon and then race the German Marathon Championships in Hannover after. We talked about goals for Berlin and Hannover and also how training is going.

We also chatted about his new Adidas contract, his favorite Adidas shoes, and how he likes to pace a marathon. Enjoy!

On this episode, Chris recapped an exciting weekend of racing! NYC Half had a stacked field, highlighted by Grant Fisher's debut in the half-marathon. Grant had a disappointing but not tragic debut, and Helen Obiri showed she is in great shape going into London Marathon this Spring!

I also talked about NCAA Indoors, where there was more Jane Hedengren domination, drama in the men's 3k, and major drama at D3 indoors??

Finally - talked about some news that went under the radar this weekend. 2nd fastest women's marathon all time in Barcelona this weekend?? Enjoy!

On this episode, we had very special and highly-requested guest Yowana on the pod! Yowana is a well-known creator in the running space and the founder of Supwell Running, which is a running shoe marketplace and shoe review platform.

Yowana just ran 2:30 at the Wilmington Marathon and made some very interesting changes to his training before it. We fully dove into his training over the last few years - something we think will be very beneficial for listeners!

We also chatted about how he manages his time. He has a full-time job but also posts 1hr + YouTube videos daily and crushes content on socials and podcasts while being a father of 3!

This was one of our favorite pods, sometimes we just instantly click with someone and this was one of those times! Enjoy!
