On this episode, the boys chatted about goals for the rest of the year, getting back into training, and thinking about hosting a 5k?

This was a fun catch up episode with just the hosts after having several great guests on and Chris being gone in Hawaii last week.

The pod is growing a lot lately and we just can’t thank you enough for supporting us. When we started this, if the pod grew to a few hundred listeners we would have been over the moon. We are excited to keep growing this and continue pumping out fun pods!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Cody Taggart! Cody has an amazing story that we were really inspired by. In his early 20s, he hit rock bottom and decided to turn his life around.

In 1.5 years, he lost 120 pounds and ended up signing up for a half marathon. This is where his running journey began! Since then, he has run marathons and several ultra marathons, including a SOLO SPEED PROJECT (LA to Las Vegas - 300 miles +!).

This was a really special pod and we are excited to share it with you. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on a couple friends (Chris Sadler AKA Krispy Runs and Erik Stauderman) to talk about recent marathon experiences they both had!

Chris ran Bayshore with us and had a sub 2:40 goal. Unfortunately he had major stomach issues after halfway and had to throwup 17 times!

Erik ran the Fargo, ND marathon and had to take an emergency pit stop in somebody’s yard. He subsequently got lost, cut off 2 miles of the course, then purposely went off course to make up the distance (don’t worry he still DQd himself lol).

Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on the one and only Ben is Running (Ben Felton)! Ben is a 2:24 marathoner and content creator on YouTube and Instagram. We are huge fans of his (Chris has watched every YT video lol), and we were really excited to chat with him!

Ben recently ran the London Marathon and was in great shape but unfortunately got a really warm day and didn’t have the race he wanted. We talked about how to mentally overcome a tough race and also what’s next for him.

Ben’s partner, Meg, recently left her job in fashion to go full time helping Ben with his channel! We talked about that decision and the impact it has had so far.

We chatted about several other topics, this episode was a lot of fun. Hopefully Chris and Ben get to share some miles at Chicago! Enjoy and make sure you check out Ben’s content linked below if you haven’t yet!

On this episode the boys had on special guest, Dakota Popehn! Dakota was at Bayshore Marathon and actually gave Danny his medal at the finish line! He asked her to come on the pod within seconds of finishing the race and she kindly agreed.

Dakota was on the US Olympic Marathon team in Paris 2024 thanks to her epic 3rd place finish at the Marathon Trials in Orlando on that hot day! She is a 2:24 marathoner at 1:08 half-marathoner.

We recapped her recent performance at Boston, got some really practical training advice, and talked about what her goals are before he career is over.

This was a fun one, enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on the legend Kendall Fallas. Kendall was a co-champion of the recent BPN G1M Backyard Ultra, where the race was stopped 235 miles in, on lap 57, due to extreme weather.

We got the full story on the race itself, the decision to call it a tie due to the inclement weather, training for the race, and more!

Kendall is very reserved but don’t let that fool you, he is extremely mentally tough. He talked about what was going through his head when things got tough late in the race, pushing his body so hard he ended up in the hospital two nights with rhabdo.

At 21 years old, we can’t wait to see where the sport takes Kendall. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys recap the Bayshore Marathon weekend with special guest Alex Scearce (Scotty’s wife)! We were all able to come away with PRs and also just had a super fun weekend with so many friends racing as well.

We talk about pre and post-race activities, break down each of our races in detail (including fueling) and touched on what we did differently in training and racing to achieve success. This is a long one, but a really good one. Enjoy!
