No cursing. No costumes. No alcohol. No doping. No fireworks?

Every marathon has its own set of rules runners have to follow, but while some rules make total sense, some marathon rules are dumb, outdated, or just completely absurd.

This week on "We Run This", Nick and I are joined by Don Povia of Transition Sports & Entertainment to talk about running and training for marathons, the rules to follow and break, and why I just can't commit to running the 26.2 miles.

No, this episode isn't about leaving your family at home, going out for milk, and never coming back.

Do you remember places? Remember when we'd all travel, go on a vacation, and visit strange cities for fun.

Ah, the good old days.

Well, they'll be back soon (hopefully), and in this episode of We Run This, Nick and Chris discuss running places other than our own neighborhood and town.

In this episode of We Run This, Nick and Chris discuss motivation and how to kick yourself in the ass to run when you just don't feel like putting in the miles. We talk about the different tricks we use to get ourselves motivated and how what works for one person might not necessarily work for others.

Plus, Nick drops a major bombshell in the first few minutes of the episode.

This week on the podcast, Nick and Chris discuss running world records.  We're not talking about the world's fastest mile or the quickest marathon run ever. Those are impressive and no joke.  

This episode is dedicated to the absurd records in the world of running that most people probably didn't know exist.

In this episode of We Run This, Nick and Chris discuss running in the time of Covid-19.

With a few states now requiring masks in all public places - Chris's home state is one - the guys talk about all of the positives and negatives attached to running while wearing a mask.

Is running in a mask safe? Does it make running even more difficult, especially for people without the proper face gear?

In this episode of We Run This, Nick and Chris discuss the rules runners should follow on the road and on trails and the beliefs that are a bunch of crap. 

In this episode of We Run This, Nick and Chris discuss the newest fad in running - virtual races.

Honestly, it's only a fad because real, in-person races aren't allowed and might be canceled for the rest of 2020.

Nick and Chris discuss the benefits and drawbacks of virtual runs, who should and shouldn't give them a shot, and how Nick accidentally ran through a group of people holding guns.

In the first episode of We Run This, hosts Nick Dimengo and Chris Illuminati discuss the paths that lead them to run, Nick's mishap with carb-loading before his first marathon, Chris outrunning a panic attack, and the benefits of running for mental health. Also, that time Nick walked for 19 miles for no good reason.
