Pace the Nation

Sorry the show is posting late, Docs got nerf guns for Christmas and got distracted. Intern Kelley joins us for a yankee gift swap, Docs watched the beer mile World Championships, we share our Christmas traditions, Joanna hears something on a run, we make a list of the five essential suggestions for effective training and much much more. Happy Holidays Pace the Nation Nation.

Washington Post sports reporter Kelyn Soong talks about his running background, including getting college credit for jogging, getting his start with the Washington Post, the 2-hour marathon and his favorite television shows. Joanna shares another transportation update, and we have our third straight cross country contact sport story.

A double tweets episode delivered just in time to keep you warm on a cold day. That has a better spin than what took Docs so long to edit this show.

Farley talks about the running event, where Charm City Run was awarded the 2016 Running Store of the Year. Not coincidentally, we have the owner of Charm City run on the show to talk about his stores and winning the award. Farley and Joanna educate Docs on washing running clothes, Farley has more Christmas rules, and discovers a new training strategy.

Farley is out of town on a Florida trip to the Running Event, and the show goes on without him. Gwyneed Mercy University senior Justin DeLuzio calls in to talk about his unique running experience getting knocked over by a deer in his last ever cross country race. The hosts close out with an array of random topics including a transportation update, dogs, lacrosse numbers, not getting robbed and actual running talk with a Jingle all the Way preview.

We are back with another triple tweets where we go off topic quickly and often.

Another triple tweets episode recorded just before Thanksgiving, where we go off topic early and often. As promised, our hosts caught up on the triple tweets last time just to fall behind, and we did it again.

We take a deep dive and break down the Farley show opener before we recap our very different weekend experiences, including the Farley trip to watch NCAA XC championships. We call NC State sophomore cross country runner Elijah Moskowitz to talk about his unique 2016 NCAA XC experience, his decision to transfer to NC State, running in the heat, the mustache, the bus and an outlook on his upcoming seasons. We talk Thanksgiving, which naturally means a discussion about food, indulging, giving thanks and Teddy Roosevelt.

Farley reschedules on us and then discovers Elvis. Local runner Michael Wardian comes on to talk about how he got his start in running, the Abbott World Marathon Majors world record, running as Elvis in Las Vegas, leading the 2008 Marathon Olympic Trials through 10k, drugs in the sport, and being an ambassador for the sport. We close out with an onion peel on one of our New York stories.
