  • Lap 19: Evan is an Olympic Trials Qualifier!

    Let's face it - this is the episode you really wanted to hear. This week was all CIM. We talked about the results and then got to hear Evan talk about his race and everything surrounding it, including the fact that he's now qualified to run the 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials! We also answered a lot of listener questions, which we are so thrilled to keep getting. Thanks for sending them in!

  • Lap 18: Chris on D1 Running and Walkers in Lane One

    This week, Evan and Alex got to talk to Evan's friend and roommate, Chris Quinn, who spent his college years running for D1 program Notre Dame. We recapped turkey trots, compared strategies on how to use the track when people are just strolling in lane 1, and got really in depth on the gear that collegiate runners get.

  • Lap 16: Evan's Dad Tells Us About a Lifetime of Running

    This week, we talked to Evan's dad, Brad, about, well, running. He regaled us with tales about running in high school, running through the 70s running boom and almost killing Bill Rodgers. You really don't want to skip this episode.

  • Lap 15: NYC Recap + Soapboxes on Dopers

    It's just Evan and Alex this week, which means we got to delve into the NYC and USATF 5k results a little more deeply and also be kinda preachy about Jemima Sumgong and dopers in general. We also talked for a minute about NCAA XC (which is still above average on running podcasts) and Gwen Jorgensen leaving the triathlon dark side to become a fully-fledged runner.

  • Lap 14: Brady and the Team Florida Track Club

    Alex and Evan got to talk to Brady, who's currently in a graduate program at the University of Florida and also happens to be a very proficient runner. We also previewed the New York City Marathon and talked about Mo Farah feeling the need to put an entire ocean between him and his old coach, Alberto Salazar.

  • Lap 13: Chris Chavez of Citius Mag
    Evan and Alex were joined by sports writer Chris Chavez, who earlier this year founded the new running publication Citius Mag. He's also a runner himself, having just scored a huge marathon PR at Berlin and he shared his thoughts with us about the Amsterdam Marathon, the state of journalism in the sport, and all of the other questions sent in for him.

  • Lap 12.5: 1609's First 5k and Group Run
    Evan got a big group together after the Columbus Marathon and Half Marathon and talked to them after the event about how their races went. It was a hot day, but it was great to have Dan, Barry, Elwood and Jessica on the show for a little bit!

  • Lap 12: We're Guestless, But Wait! There's More!
    This week, we're joined by no one! We'll have a fun bonus upload with lots of guests (including some familiar voices) a little later this weekend, but for now, you get to listen to a Chicago recap and Evan and Alex's opinions on some pros throwing shade at NOP athletes.

  • Lap 11: Getting to Know the Houston Marathon with Muffy King and Heather Foley
    This week, we learned about the Chevron Houston Marathon! We spoke with Muffy King, the Communications Manager of the race event, and Heather Foley, a Houston local who's in the Ambassador program! Heather has run over 30 marathons/ultramarathons (including back-to-back finishes at the Comrades Ultra Marathon in South Africa), but loves all the other distances as well.
