  • (S2 E9) If you plan too much, your life won't be exciting, adventurist Andrew Wikstrom

    Andrew Wikstrom quit his full time job to hike the Pacific Crest Trail at age 50, based on a stranger's advice.  He went on to move across the country, build his own kayaks, race a 340 mile race down the Missouri River, renovate buildings, summit 14ers, and just take time out of his life each month to travel wherever he feels like it to hike, kayak, and just overall explore.  His take on life is amazing.

  • (S2 E6) Running from childhood abuse to destroying FKTs and races with Brenda Fortin

    This week Jeff and Tammy had an awesome conversation with Brenda Fortin of western Massachusetts.  They were even joined by her husband, Rufus, for parts of the episode as they talked through so many different running and non-running areas of her life.

    They dove deep into her running as an escape growing up in a household of abuse, to running and playing different sports in school.  She found running again as an adult, and is now teacher and cross country coach.  She has destroyed countless FKTs in the northeast as well as a ton of races, some alone and some with Rufus.  She is an awesome person they just had a blast getting to know.  This really is a must listen for so many.
