From bringing Vibram to the forefront in North America to founding Topo Athletic and giving runners a more natural option for their feet, he has some great stories and insights into running.

Not too many people can put you to sleep AND come in second to Des Linden at the Boston Marathon. Well, just one, really: Sarah Sellers, anesthetist, mother, and 2:25 marathoner. After a return to running five years ago, she keeps getting better, as evidenced by her 2nd-place finish to Dakotah Lindwurm at this year's Grandma's Marathon. This was a fun behind-the-scenes episode about that legendary 2018 Boston race and how Sellers manages her time and running goals.

It's long been a dream of ours to interview Steve Magness, author of Do Hard Things, whistleblower of the Nike Oregon Project, and podcast co-host of Coaching With Magness and Marcus, where he dispenses his invaluable knowledge on running and coaching. This was a great conversation that could've gone on for hours, with loads of great insight into the run mentality.

We made it to 100! To celebrate, we called on our favorite guest of all-time, Keira D'Amato, American record holder in the women's marathon and 8th-finisher at the 2022 World Athletics Championships last week (on only 3 weeks of official marathon training!). We talk about her race at Worlds and racing with the other badass American women, her upcoming goals, and other randomness.

When it comes to running, we like to go hard, and we like to rest even harder. So we wanted to talk to Darren Brown at Oofos about why their recovery footwear is a great option for runners (and really, anyone). We also talk about his own career as a runner, life in general, and more.
