Kitija just ran a new half marathon PR, putting months of training to the test. But the real question we explore is bigger than the time on the clock:
Can a race actually feel like just another run, or do the race-day jitters always show up no matter how prepared you are?

Meanwhile, Taylor and C head out for what was supposed to be a casual Saturday morning run… and somehow it turns into a 50-mile ultra around Lady Bird Lake. Along the way, their friend Keaton gets pulled into the challenge, proving that sometimes the best (and most ridiculous) running stories start with someone saying “you won’t.”

And finally—C and Kitija confront Taylor about something that’s been bothering them.

Let’s just say… they have a bone to pick.

This episode is about testing your training, the psychology of racing, spontaneous endurance challenges, and the friendships that make running unforgettable.
