Its another Top 3 episode! We're bringing you three new categories this week... except in the first first one no one notices that Alison doesn't give her number one answer... see if you can guess what she would have said!

Alison and Karin are here to talk about the basics of swimming... what you need, what swim workouts can look like... etc! Karin is lifelong swimmer with all the experience and Alison has been doing in for a few years and is finally starting to figure it out.  Enjoy our candid thoughts and most likely another moment with Alison's dogs...

We are officially launching our new socials guys! We also decided maybe it would be a good time to reintroduce ourselves individually as well as the podcast as a whole. We talk our our fitness journeys, what inspires us, and we want to do with this podcast. For funsies we do the best we can at a lightning round with some interesting Q&A for each other. Enjoy!

What do we love most? Giving a recap, trying new things, and planning for better running weather... this episode it no exception! We talk about how we are glad the summer is over and how we are both trying some new and exciting things for fall!  A special guest ghost appearance from Alison's blind dog Moon makes both ladies laugh till they cry... enjoy!

In a timely twist of fate Karin and Alison discuss what works for them (and how things go awry) when it comes to being prepared for their training weeks in the midst of the chaos life can sometimes dump in their laps (or anyones!). Karin has a hundred places to be because she is awesome summer mom and Alison is on call for her new job this week... BONUS we get to "meet" Karin's son who we realize is VERY hungry.

Whats up friends?!? We are back to talk about how the first half of summer has been for us (June, am I right?!?!). They we talk a little about how we approach signing up for races, which is essentially a dart throw sometimes... capped off with a RIVETING review of coconut waters and an on air taste test (Alison muted her mic).  Enjoy!

We are back today with Jackie McCloud a.k.a. @mcjacks_lee! She's a trail runner, pacer, ground leader, knitter extraordinaire and we loved talking with her. We talk all things trail running from fueling to water crossings to bathroom stuff to her latest endeavor pacing at WESTERN STATES! She's an awesome human and we hope you enjoy her story!

Have you been missing the fan favorite Top 3 episodes?  Well they're back! Karin and I discuss 1) Healthy Foods we can't bear to eat 2) Recovery modalities that actually work and 3) Running songs to add to your playlist.  Enjoy!

We saved a special interview for a holiday release! We have Brandy Talamoni also known as Brandytherunner on Instagram! She is a wife, a mom, a veteran, and a fearless runner. We talk about her running story, her upcoming marathon, and her feature in Runner's World.  Join us for your holiday week run and if you aren't following her, go do it!

Karin and Alison share how they really feel about summer running! We aren't here to introduce any mind blowing science facts about the heat- just offer up some of our own adaptations and hints and tips for getting thru your heat training. We also of course share our favorite must have summer running gear, because thats what we do best! (Also, yes we mention that its May a couple of times. We had to record in May because June has been crazytown for both of us!)
