The 1609 Podcast

To start off, we recorded this the night before they announced that Boston wasn't happening, so that'll be on the next episode, but we did talk a lot about the Strava changes and some of the race-ish results we've had in the last couple of weeks.

There's finally enough pro running news to make a whole show out of! Mostly. There were a few tangents.

Howdy, we're coming to you with another Texan! This time it's Rory Tunningley, whose name you might recognize from our leaderboards from time to time. We talked to him about the usual things and got to join him as he recounted his personal running journey through high school to the Trials.

Hey there poddy people, we've got another interview for you. We got to talk to Michael Krajicek, founder of the new running shoe brand Atreyu Running out of Austin, TX. We got to hear how and why he decided to start this new shoe company, what he hopes Atreyu can change in the broader market, and how and why he got into running in the first place.

We're back with another interview with Colby, a coworker of Evan's who ran in college and has proved himself quite a competitor at the marathon post-collegiately. he talks about his training philosophy, his interesting accommodations, and Nomad Running Society.

We pretty much dove straight into it with Colby, so we're missing our usual intro patter, but we hope the soup discussions more than make up for it.

Hola folks, we've got our first of many interviews during this unexpected and protracted offseason. We got to talk to Ruby Wyles, a British distance runner competing for SMU who was just about to start her first season as an NCAA athlete during the spring.

This was our first go at doing a livestream for Patreon supporters and it was a little bumpy to start, but it worked well once we actually figured it out, so we're going to keep it up going forward. We'll be sending out the links near showtime each week to patrons and the episodes will be viewable shortly afterward.

Not exactly, but we're a little short on content until then. We're looking to line up some more interviews until competition resumes, but for this week, enjoy a few more tangents than usual! Thanks for listening, wash your hands, become the hermits you were always meant to be.

This is it. The big one. The one we've all been waiting for. The Olympic Trials episode! That's pretty much all we talked about. Evan gave his race report and talked about his trip in Atlanta.

We only talked about shoes for a minute this time. What we did talk about was the four world records that have been set since our last podcast, plus US Indoors, a nearly-sub 4:00 mile from a high schooler, and how global health concerns might continue to affect our sport going forward. Oh, and what our thoughts are on the US Olympic Marathon Trials (which are happening NEXT WEEK!).

This one's a twofer! We talked for a while about the new shoe regulations handed down from World Athletics and how everything has shaken out there with the AlphaFlys. We also talked about some race results and some broken records from Millrose. 

After that, we got to talk to Megan Youngren, a name you might recognize from the top of our women's leaderboards. She got her Olympic Trials qualifier at CIM in 2019, and we got to talk to her about what it's like to be a runner in Alaska and how she decided on an OTQ as a goal as well as the actual path she took to get there.
