Rust Belt Running

This week, the boys recap the great American performances in the New York City Marathon.  They also go on to discuss so myths that reside in the running community, from stretching before runs, to eating whatever you want (as Andrew constantly eats pizza and drinks beer).  This episode is a very nice length.

In this weeks episode, the boys look back at the last year since the idea for this cast was conceived.  How are they celebrating?  Listen and find out (spoiler, it's a group run in November).  Adam confesses to watching videos of cadaver dissections, just in time for Halloween.  Andrew spends his anniversary podcasting with Adam.  Ground breaking stuff, as always.

This week Andrew and Adam talk about Race Week rituals.  The center of the Ohio Marathon world is on the Columbus Marathon, and these guys talk for way too long about what it means to them, and previewing the race this weekend.  To all participants, stay safe and strong, and enjoy your miles this weekend!

Join Adam and Andrew as they talk about the world of running in October 2019.  Andrew is emotional at the defeat of his Atlanta Braves.  The boys discuss Alberto Salazar, a near World Record, Andrew cries about the Braves, and Nike Vaporflys.  The Braves broke Andrew's heart as they also discuss how/if running can be more effectively marketed.  Andrew is sad.

A little different format this week, as Adam and Andrew take a few minutes uninterrupted to talk about the past week.  Adam talks about his mindset from being left out of the Boston Marathon field by mere seconds for the second straight year, while Andrew talks about running the Akron Marathon, his first full in 2.5 years.

This week Adam and Andrew tackle countless technical difficulties, but show their professionalism, as it barely comes across in the published version.  Adam talks about whether being accepted to Boston will define him as a runner, while Andrew talks of finger-gunning passers by while running. A little dose of realism in how we aren't paid professionals, and we should run as such.

Erica Genarro and Heather McLeod join us for some frosty beers, and a follow up on their fundraising as they chase Six Stars for the World Marathon Majors.  Definitely worth a listen to the end, as we get away from the canned questions, and honestly talk about fundraising.  Adam also struggles to contain his excitement for the Cleveland Browns first Monday Night Football game in years.

After Andrew spends some reflecting on the loss of Cleveland Cavaliers play-by-play voice, Fred McLeod, Adam and Andrew spend some time talking about toughness.  It isn't everything you think.  They discuss how toughness comes in the decisions you make, often in dialing it back, instead of pushing through things that can rob joy.  Also - Soft Voice Adam makes a return to try and calm down all of the antsy Browns fans after Sunday's debacle.
