2026/10/22 | 1h 6 mins.Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!
On this episode, we had on our friend Johannes Barisch! We got to meet Johannes at Berlin Marathon and spend some time with him and our team dinner. He has quickly progressed in the marathon, going from 3:10 down to 2:26 in less than 3 years!
Along that journey, he has learned how to fuel big mileage weeks and was able to quit his job to go full-time on his running content and coaching. He has really insightful running content and it was great to have him on the pod! Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had our good friend Gabby Hentemann back on the podcast! Gabby just ran 2:35 at the Twin Cities Marathon so we got the full race recap.
Of course when we have Gabby - it is more of a banter episode than an interview and it’s always entertaining. We talked about the haters, her 2011 Ford Flex, Chicago Marathon results, and she even brought rapid fire questions!
Enjoy!

2026/10/17 | 1h 13 mins.Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!
On this episode, the boys had on special guest Jake Smith! Jake is a professional runner for Nike out of the UK based out of Cardiff. Jake has an amazing story and we are so grateful he was able to share it with us on this pod.
Early on in his career, Jake running a stunning 60:31 half marathon, making him one of the fastest Brits all time. Shortly after- he found himself training in Uganda with the 5k and 10k world record holder Joshua Cheptegei. Jake had an eating disorder, was training extremely hard, and ended up developing RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport).
He had to completely overhaul everything he knew about fueling and training. It took years of patience and work, but Jake is now healthy and thriving in his new system. He walks us through how he fuels and trains now + recapped his breakthrough performance at Berlin, going sub 2:10 for the first time in the marathon.
Enjoy!
