The Party in the Back

HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY! Coach Blu has no idea what he's talking about ... Passover? Bitter herb salad? What about Easter? Oy vey! The guys fartlek about some pretty random things, so much so that neither Josh or Blu's ADHD is helping much jog their memories about their conversation. I mean, we do talk about running so there's that.

Anyways, listen now to The Fartlek Running Podcast Show wherever you listen to podcasts or at thefartlek.show!

GETTING REEL! Do you find yourself scrolling through Reels? (this is metaphorical, of course you do, everyone does). Recently Coach Blu found himself getting a lot of running tips in his Reels so he decided to bring some of them to Josh to get his opinion. What do you think? Where do you get most of your running tips?

Josh & Coach Blu get a little raw and emotional in this episode. It's best to listen rather than read the episode description and make sense of it all.

HAPPY FRIDAY! Josh & Coach Blu HAVE A GUEST! They are joined by friend Amanda Bjarnson. After three years it's about time for a touch of feminity. What are they fartleking about? Well, Josh has some name suggestions for her unborn child (he oddly has a great track record on this) plus the trio talk about the Barkleys Marathon and much, much more!

FRIDAYS ARE FOR FARTLEKING! What are we fartleking about? That's always a good question. Lots. So much that Josh should have probably taken notes while recording so he could have written a better episode tease.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Josh & Coach Blu have a show full of Valentine's Day gifts for the runner in your life. But, do they actually share that list? Um, no.

Instead you're getting a show full of fartleks about Code Red Mountain Dew, Vanilla Frosties and a million dollar idea for people prone to upset stomachs.
