Run Your Mouth

Dana Giordano is a 4:34 miler and NCAA All-American who graduated from Dartmouth College and runs for Tracksmith Hare AC. She and co-host Cole Sanseverino came by the Trackhouse to get into the deep subjects, most notably- what it takes to truly "hustle" as a post-collegiate elite.

We cover running relationships, contemplating retirement, and racing before you're ready. In short, this long-run talk got real real. Plus, we've worked out some of our ongoing audio kinks and sound quality should be better from here on out. Hope you enjoy!

Matt Hughes of Bowerman Track Club stopped by the podcast to record an incredible episode covering long-run topics ranging from half-tights versus shorts to burrito bets.

This week's cohost, Louis Serafini, is a 13:54 5000m runner for Tracksmith Hare AC and a graduate of Boston College.

Jonny Phillips is an Olympic Trials qualifier in the marathon, running 2:18 in Chicago this fall. He also happens to be one of my roommates and best friends. He joined me and co-host Jess Peterson, herself an Olympic Trials qualifier in the marathon, to talk about training and preparing for the marathon... and then we covered the greatest conversational hits of our friendship. I guarantee you will laugh out loud at multiple points along the way- this one was a real journey.

On Episode 1, host David Melly and co-host Rosa Moriello welcome Scott Smith and Kellyn Taylor of Northern Arizona Elite into the Trackhouse to talk marathons, miles, content, and chickens. Recorded January 28th in front of a live audience.
