Run Your Mouth

This week's guests are Tracksmith Hare AC studs Emma Spencer and Jeff Seelaus, both fresh off 3+ minute personal bests at the Berlin Marathon.

Jeff ran 2:20:56 as the third American man, and Emma ran 2:37:05 to finish as the second American women. They came into the studio to give us their takes from the race, their secrets to both preparation and relaxation, and advice for cohost Drew Hartman as he prepares for his upcoming marathon. We also covered important topics such as pole dancing in AirBnBs, self-inflicted stab wounds, and guilty-pleasure TV shows.

He's continued to a successful career as a runner for Columbia Sports conquering FKTs and ultramarathon races around the world and holds the unsupported record on the Appalachian Trail in addition to the PCT. Before coming on the podcast, he'd just returned from the famous Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc 100K, where he placed in the top 50 of the international competition.

RYM kicks off season 2 with some long-run talk with the boys of Kinross Road. An apartment of four post-collegiate runners, we joke that we have the "fastest apartment in Boston" on 5k times. Nick Lemon, Jonny Phillips, and Louis Serafini join host David Melly to answer questions from listeners including who is the most attractive, who would play us in a movie, and whether we prefer socks or no socks with spikes.

This week's guest is Woody Kincaid, a Colorado native and graduate of the University of Portland who competes for Bowerman Track Club.

Woody is a talented and accomplished runner who's run 13:12 for 5000m, and he also happens to be a talented an accomplished podcaster. He hosts Price of a Mile, a podcast on the Citius Mag network where he interviews his BTC teammates.

We recorded with Woody and co-host Ben Weingart in Portland after Portland Track Festival, and he was a fantastic guest. We talked about what it was like to grow up the child of flight attendants, the dangers of sleepwalking, getting advice from teammates, and more. We even got into the minutia of podcasting toward the end of the episode; hope you enjoy the peek behind the curtain.

This week's guest is Kathy O'Keefe, a graduate of Newton South High School and Boston College who has returned from overseas for the summer and came over for a first-ever "breakfast pod" complete with waffles and cohost Jennine Regan.

Kathy was a prolific mid-distance runner for Newton South, winning multiple state and national championships, and ran 4:22 for 1500 and 2:09 for 800 at Boston College. We covered all the greatest hits of high school, from barefoot running wounds to why we called tempos "Lydiards"

Plus, we talked about our long history with the Chocolate Milk Mile and even got in a few bars of (very bad) singing. Hope you enjoy!

This week's guest is Garrett Corcoran, a distance runner from California who runs for the Cal Bears and came to town to compete in last week's Adrian Martinez Classic. He came on the podcast with trusty recurring co-host Ben Bosworth and things got real, fast.

Garrett's run sub-4 in the mile and sub-14 in the 5k, but on top of that, he's a very entertaining and worldly guy. We covered self-inflicted wounds, why he doesn't date runners, and got arguably our best burrito content to date. Plus we play a riveting game of MFK with all-male, all-pro runner rosters.

This week’s guest is Taylor Bickford, a graduate of Wellesley College who’s run for BAA and the Heartbreakers in Boston. Taylor’s run 2:42 for the marathon and founded Hearth Baking Co., a pop-up bakery that provides healthy and delicious treats made by and for runners.

We talk about our favorite flavors of cookies, the origin of the podcast, and the ups and downs of training. David tells the “blister story,” Taylor goes for a run after getting hit by a truck, and Angelica gets excited for her first ever marathon. Plus, we play a game that makes it clear how little some of us know about professional runners.

As a sidenote, this episode was recorded before Vermont City Marathon. This past weekend, Angelica crushed it and ran 2:57 in her marathon debut, and we’re very proud of her!
