IT'S FARTLEK TIME! Josh starts the show off on the wrong foot ... or finger? Whichever it is, Blu is having none of it! NONE. OF. IT. Yet all of it somehow loops all back to running?

What else are the guys talking about? The DesNews 10K they ran together last week plus all the times they ALMOST became famous (or at least knew how to position themselves into some pretty amazing b-roll shots).

HAPPY PIONEER DAY WEEKEND! We couldn’t wait to share this with you, because we love our five loyal listeners, we’re dropping this episode early for your Pioneer Day adventures (and because, let’s be honest, it’s a long one!). Get ready: Josh introduces Coach Blu to his incredible AI creative toolkit, unveiling 13 original, AI-generated running-themed songs to add to your playlist. Coach Blu was absolutely mind-blown—and still can’t believe these are not “real” voices motivating you to go the distance.

In this episode, we dive into the making of the AI running playlist and the inspiration behind each track. We explore the courage it takes to run, the humor in quirky running moments, and the deeper messages music can bring to our journeys. We wrap up with reflections on personal growth and the pure joy of running.

Tune in and celebrate the weekend with us, your new favorite running songs await!

IT'S FARTLEK TIME! Josh and Coach Blu are back at it ... barely. The challenges of life are real, but do they have any real excuses when 70+ year old runners are there reaching the podium? Um, not really. But, hey, that's why there's AI, right? But, seriously, could it make them healthier runners?
