Rust Belt Running

This week the boys take some time to talk about some impactful women in running. Mary Cain and Allyson Felix headline the list, as they have their difficult pasts to enact change in their corners of the world. It is possible to be change in your world, no matter who you are up against. They also take some time to talk about their recovery, and a little medical treatment, from the past few weeks.

This week, the boys fly solo. There is a lot in the world to talk about as we begin to get back to training. Competitive ultra marathons, Olympic Trials, and local 5ks. The boys really dig into all of these this week.

This week the boys start off with an unintended block of talking about TV. They finally move on to talk about recent, or upcoming, races before moving on to discuss the recent steroid story in running, Shelby Houlihan.

It's a fun anniversary, five years since the Cavs brought a championship to Cleveland. This is an appropriate time to take our talents to our other love, sports. An unforgettable series, and one unforgettable night. The boys offer their thoughts on that historic series.

This week Adam goes it alone and uses previous soccer coaching to talk about the mindset of training. Being prepared for obstacles, and embracing victories and defeats is key to that strong mindset.

This week the boys discuss Global Running Day and begin discussing the 10 pillars of race training (listen for the name... Andrew is proud). The groundwork is being laid for summer training for fall races, and we couldn't be more excited!

For the first time in a long time, the boys are in sync when it comes to running. They discuss that, long term goals, a year without running, and shoutout our friends at PLX Running Club for having a really badass idea.

This week we take some time to talk with Brian Polen about a lot. Running across Ohio, short shorts, and the Shawshank Hustle. It was truly inspiring to listen to Brian talk about running Ohio (backwards), and how he used 2020 as an opportunity to help people.

This week the boys look back on last week's episode with Mark Freeman, and discuss laying a foundation of strong mental fitness. A lot of people are starting anew in their running journeys, and approaching running with healthy mental habits is just as important as the physical ones.
