It’s the middle of summer, the heat is real, and the miles feel different. After a short break, Cody and Reist are back behind the mics to talk about what’s been happening both on and off the road.

From adapting training in the summer heat to balancing real life, family, and faith, the brothers share stories from recent runs, observations from the running community, and honest reflections about why consistency matters more than perfection.

We cover the mental side of summer running, how to find motivation when schedules change, and the small wins that keep you moving forward. Whether you’re chasing PRs or just trying to keep your rhythm in the middle of July, this conversation will keep you encouraged and grounded.

We’re back from the road... literally.

In this episode, we share what it’s like to keep running when life doesn’t slow down. Reist recaps his cruise through the Caribbean (and his 27 laps around a cruise ship deck in 100-degree heat), while Cody shares stories from a mission trip to Guatemala—including a stray dog that ran four miles with him through the cobblestone streets of Antigua.

We also debut our new Run Smart segment, breaking down Yasso 800s! This is one of the most reliable, mental-toughness-building workouts in running.

This episode is about movement, margin, rhythm, and refusing to quit even when your schedule’s insane. From family updates to training goals and upcoming races, this is the post-break catch-up episode you didn’t know you needed.

🔍 What You'll Hear in Episode 5:

• Reist’s honest reflection on what it felt like to run while on vacation—navigating heat, cruise ship loops, and how rest and routine coexist.
• Cody’s experience running in Guatemala, staying consistent while serving others, and what he learned from running alongside locals (and one particularly loyal street dog).
• The power of staying flexible in your habits, not rigid.
• Encouragement for runners who are in the “off-season” or feel like their routine is off track.
• The debut of our new “Run Smart” segment—this time featuring a full breakdown of Yasso 800s: what they are, how to use them in marathon training, and why the mental game might matter more than your pace.
• Upcoming races and what’s next for the RunHard Bros.

🏃‍♂️ Who is this for?
Runners who are balancing real life and real goals. People who aren’t chasing medals—they’re chasing consistency, purpose, and peace. Listeners who know the joy of movement and the chaos of summer schedules.
Whether you’re training for a marathon or just trying to get back out the door, this episode will remind you:
You don’t have to be fast. You just have to keep showing up.

This episode is different. And honestly—it should be.

In Episode 4, we take a step back from race stories and training plans to talk about what really shaped us. Growing up in a broken home, navigating absence, pain, and years of silence—and somehow, finding healing through running.

This is the story of our family, our father, our mother, and how running became more than miles. It became a place for rebuilding strength, reclaiming peace, and moving forward.

We don’t share this for drama.
We share it because it’s real—and because someone else out there needs to know they’re not alone.

Topics Include:

• What we learned growing up in a fractured family

• Finding our father after decades apart

• Showing up for someone who couldn’t show up for us

• Grace for our mom and the weight she carried

• How running became a space for healing, brotherhood, and quiet strength

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought:
“I’m not a runner.”

🎙️ Episode 1 | The Run That Started It All: Our Homemade Marathon & the Birth of RunHard Bros

What happens when two brothers decide to run a full marathon… with no race, no medals, and no one else around? You get the RunHard Bros Marathon—a completely homemade 26.2-mile adventure fueled by grit, faith, brotherhood, and a whole lot of stubbornness.

In this kickoff episode, Cody and Reist share the wild story behind their self-made marathon, what pushed them to the start line, and what got them to the finish. Along the way, they reflect on the physical and mental walls they hit, the power of perseverance, and why this experience launched something bigger—the RunHard Brothers Podcast.

Plus, we talk March Madness (recorded before the chaos begins), and why we’re already predicting that our brackets are probably busted.

Whether you’re a runner, a dreamer, a dad, or just someone trying to push through something hard—we hope this episode encourages you to lace up and keep going.
