1 hour 1 minute

In episode 5 of the PRP, Adam chats it up with first time half marathoner, close personal friend and social media entrepreneur Tess Dominguez who has been preparing for the Colfax Half Marathon on October 16th, 2021. Tess opens up about some of her struggles staying dedicated to her training plan, and her and Adam take a deep dive into her fear of the long run. Tess walks listeners through the timeline from her decision to run the race, to her decision to actually start training, to where things stand today. Did someone say procrastination? All things considered, Adam provides Tess with some praise for her composure and positive mindset heading into race day.

Maya Arellanes joins the show as guest host, and listeners quickly learn that Maya and Tess are connected at the hip. The two put on a tremendous display of support for one another as they discuss the importance of having a supportive community around you when taking on challenges like this. Both Tess and Maya share their race day game plan and provide insight into the crew that they've assembled to run the race together. Vegan pre race meals, gifts for one another, inspirational movies the night before and a starting line that the squad can walk to the morning of the race?! What a set up! If you're a social runner, you'll want to take some notes on this episode, these gals know exactly what they're doing!
