2026/10/08 | 1h 19 mins.Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!
On this episode, the boys had our good friend Devin Meyrer back on the podcast! Devin is a 1:03 half marathoner and 2:20 full marathoner in the Detroit, Michigan area. He is also a licensed mental health therapist and his account on socials is centered around mental health + his running journey. It’s a great combination because as we know - running is very mental!
We chatted about Devin’s DNF at Grandma’s Marathon in June, his upcoming fall races, and some of the mental tips and tricks that he has posted about on socials prior that would be super beneficial for every runner to implement.
Enjoy!

On this episode, we largely focused on Scotty’s Berlin Marathon weekend! This was his first time back on the pod since coming back from Berlin. He talked about his crazy travel issues, getting decked by a scooter on the shakeout run + gave his full race recap.
Despite not getting the time he wanted- he got to have an epic finish with a few of his best friends and then had a very memorable overall weekend with family exploring Germany!
Enjoy!

On this episode, Chris did a preview for the elite field of the Chicago Marathon this coming weekend! I broke it up into top contenders for each field and then top Americans to look out for in each field.
On the men’s side, the overwhelming favorite is returning champ Jacob Kiplimo! The American race is particularly exciting with an American record attempt going down from Clayton Young and top competitors Charles Hicks and Vinny Mauri looking for huge performances.
On the women’s side, the field is led by 2:14 women Brigid Kosgei and Hawi Feysa! Feysa won Chicago last year but Brigid Kosgei defeated her handily at Tokyo earlier this year. Sharon Lokedi looks to prove she is a top competitor on flat courses as well!
The American women’s field has legends Sara Hall and Des Linden. A couple names to look out for regarding top American honors will be Emma Grace Hurley in her debut and Molly Born after winning CIM in her debut in a time of 2:24 last year!

On this episode, the boys had Vinny Mauri back on the pod! Vinny famously ran 2:05 solo at the Glass City Marathon this Spring. Now - he has a pro contract with Asics and is lining up for his first World Major Marathon as a pro athlete, going against some of the best in the world!
We walked through his full training block going into Chicago and also talked about how he is approaching Chicago with some Americans targeting the American record. Enjoy!
