In this "Problem Rundown" podcast, Miranda and Jon discuss a range of issues and articles:

• Jon's recent chess tournament recap, the content everyone was waiting for. (Jon is now provisionally rated 1466 by the US Chess Federation.)
• Barkley recap! We discuss the harder course and few fun run finishes this year as well as Laz transitioning the race to Carl. (Check out John Kelly's recap on Singletrack.)
• Zoe Rom's great Valentines Day article about her love of running: "A Long Distance Relationship". Miranda and Jon discuss their relationship to running as well.
• We discuss Michelino Sunseri's persecution by the US District Attorney for using an old trail in his Grand Teton FKT and how ridiculous it is. (Sign the petition to drop the charges!) Check out his deep dive on the Freetrail podcast.
• Finally, we discuss Rajpaul Pannu's disqualification based on stack height at the USATF 100 Mile championship at Jackpot Ultras. His reaction was incredible.
