The 1609 Podcast

It's the Boston Bonus episode, sponsored by Mercury Mile! Check them out at MercuryMile.com, @Mercury_Mile on Twitter, and @MercuryMile on Instagram.

In this little bonus episode, we got to talk to a lot of our old friends – Dan from Boston, Mike from Parkrun/Canada, Mark the ultrarunner, Chris who trained 1569 miles on a cinder track while deployed, and Aaron, who hasn't been on the podcast yet, but is scheduled for an episode in the near future, so you'll get to learn more about how he got here soon!

Thanks for listening as always!

What a week! We talked Des and Yuki and all of the other fun stuff from Boston on Monday and then did a quick rundown on London coming up quickly here on Sunday. We also sat down with Lisa, who is Evan's coworker and the Outreach Coordinator of Columbus Running Company about her job and how she works to bring more people into the Columbus running community and to make sure CRC and Columbus runners make a positive impact on the city.

Thanks for listening! We'd love if you'd head over to iTunes to rate and review us! Thanks to @Mercury_Mile for sponsoring this episode and @citiusmag for hosting us!

It's finally here! Our Boston preview show! We talked a lot about Boston, mostly. We talked about our weeks in running and Evan had some Shoe Takes, and we answered some good listener questions. We made some predictions about the race and asked for yours! We're doing a Boston prediction contest, so make sure you listen in to see how you can win a free box from Mercury Mile, who's sponsoring the show now!

As always, we're presented by Citius Mag, (@citiusmag) and you can always get your questions in to us at @1609pod on social or [email protected]!

This week, ahead of the Boston Marathon, we decided to talk to someone who lives in...New York City. But he has run Boston! We got to talk to our friend Jon about the usual things - but we also got to talk to him about what it's like running in New York City, how he ended up knocking over an hour off his marathon time, how he got into ultramarathons, and why he ran around the perimeter of Manhattan this year.

Thanks for listening! We're always taking questions at @1609pod on social and [email protected]. Please leave a review on iTunes if you're enjoying the show!

We talked about the World Half Championships and IAAF accounting department troubles, but this is definitely a food takes podcast now. We talked about the Saucony x Dunkin shoe and then went through other possible food and shoe mashups. Then we had a bunch of food questions from listeners, like whether we could eat six bagels and race a 10k and how much peanut butter Evan has eaten this year so far. Strap in, this is a tasty episode.

We've had Dan (from Lap 1) back on the show this week, and he's got a shiny new half marathon PB to talk about! Before we got to the New Bedford Half recap, we talked about the NYC Half Marathon (big week for HMs) and the indoor marathon world records at the Armory too.

This week, we talked about NCAAs and Galen Rupp's 59:47 half marathon in Rome. Evan also got to run up Magnolia Road this week, of Running with the Buffaloes fame. Plus, we had a ton of awesome questions this week. Is the four minute mile still as important as it once was? Should it be? Why does Roman Reigns get to wear body armor when no one else does? This is a good one.

Wicked stoked that we got to talk to Lou Serafini this week. He's been making the podcasting rounds lately because he just recently broke 4:00 in the mile at BU. In addition to being an elite runner, he is also the Community Manager at Tracksmith, a Boston-based running brand that we're big fans of. We talked to Lou about his running, his working, his memories of Sir Roger Bannister and his takes on World Indoors, plus your listener questions!

You can find Lou at @louisserafini on Twitter, @louserafini1 on Instagram and on Strava. As always, we're at @1609pod everywhere. Thanks for listening!

Early pod this week - we recapped the Tokyo Marathon and did a rundown of the 2018 IAAF World Indoors! We touched on most of the sprints and hurdles and talked about the distance races and a few of the field events too, so you're well prepared come race day!

We're super stoked to finally be able to release the interview with Neely Gracey! We got her input on USAs and then jumped right into the interview. Neely talked about how she got started running and how she trained early on, told us about an interesting experience with drug testing after a race, and discussed how she's running now that she's pregnant!
