Sometimes we don't get the results we trained for. It can be a difficult prospect facing that, feeling like you wasted weeks and months, but there is a healthier approach. This week we discuss this after Andrew's performance at the Glass City Half Marathon.

What else is there to say about this one? We recap the festivities of our trip to Boston for the Marathon.

This is a banner episode, our last without a Boston Marathoner. This week Adam let’s us in on his training, and what he expects from himself on the journey from Hopkington to Boston. We also take some time to predict the professional podiums.

After covid derailed her bid at finishing six stars in 2020, Erica Gennaro finally got there in March. With completing London in 2022 and then Tokyo in 2023 Erica achieved those elusive stars to complete the Abott World Marathon Majors. We've been there on much of her journey, and we are so glad she shared her experience with us.

This week the boys cover a range of topics. They recap their fun night out on St Patrick's day, where they may have done Irish car bombs. Andrew gets real hot on people running while they're sick. And then we discuss baseball. It is really awesome that the boys predicted based on the previous playoff format and not the current 3 wild card team format, but whatever. We get to see Shohei Ohtani on the 16th of April.

With Adam traveling for Boston, the boys dig back on some of their experience with traveling for other races. They give some of their advice with dealing with a new city, strangers, and groups of people during a race weekend. Staying focused on your race, yet enjoying the city you are in. Traveling for races is meant for making memories in a cool city, not just on race day.

This week the boys take some time to sit down and check in on each other. Boston is closing in, so it's time to see how Adam's training is going. Andrew talks about working through a bit of a wall and bummer running week he had, and how he bounced back.

This week the boys talk about how they have learned to run easy runs... well... easy! Incorporating easy runs into your training is essential to hitting big goals. But it isn't always as easy as it sounds. We got some advice for that. Also, we go through the benefits of learning this craft.

This week the boys sit down to discuss dress rehearsal long runs. How do we approach mimicking race day, and why is it important? Then they totally dovetailed, unintentionally, into a long discussion on various nutrition needs. This episode is packed with great information for the finals weeks and months leading to spring goal races.

This week, we sit down with Mark Freeman to discuss the Ideal Time Inventory. This is a practice that goes beyond scheduling, and allows you to see where you may be devoting more time than you should be. Finding time for running and working out can be difficult. Making time for family and friends and rest can be difficult. This exercise with Mark is so simple and eye opening, and he's just an awesome dude to talk to for an hour.
