Life in Stride

On this episode, Chris recapped the men’s and women’s 1500s and 5ks at the Outdoor World Champs in Tokyo! Cole Hocker won an electric men’s 5k, the men’s 1500 was a shocker, and the Kenyan women dominated the distance events!

I also gave my thoughts on the Berlin Marathon, Grand Slam Track Drama, Fred Kerley’s announcement and more! Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on Nick Bester! Nick is the head coach of Best Athletics, 2:19 Marathoner, and content creator! He has an amazing story of starting to run with a 25:00 5k and is now a 2:19 marathoner.

Something we didn’t know as much about was his journey with Best Athletics. He was an investment banker up until COVID then decided to go all in on his coaching business and content creation! It has been a huge success and he is living out his passion.

Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had special guest Jess Donohue back on the podcast! We checked back in with Jess after her amazing performance at the USA 20k Championships, where she ran 5:47 pace for the ~12.5 mile effort on a hilly course!

Between the last pod and now, Jess also qualified for and competed at the Hyrox World Championships in Chicago!

Jess is now gearing up for an OTQ ATTEMPT in December at the Marathon Project in Arizona! We can’t wait to watch her crush it and hopefully punch her ticket into the Trials Marathon field! Enjoy!
