On this episode, the boys had Michael Ottesen on the podcast to recap the Boston Marathon! This was Michael's first World Major Marathon and he was in the elite field! It was interesting to hear about the behind the scenes of the elite field especially from the perspective of someone who has never had an experience like that!

Michael had an amazing training block going into Boston - his best ever. Going into halfway he was on about 2:10 marathon pace, got over the Newton Hills well, but at Mile 24 disaster struck. The twinges in his hamstring turned into a massive cramp and forced him to fully stop for about 2 minutes. He was able to struggle to the finish line, just missing the OTQ standard by a few seconds!

On this episode, I had my good friend Corbin Harris join me to discuss some current running events! Despite not a super heavy race weekend - there was still a lot of fun topics to discuss!

The biggest race of last week was the USA 5k Road Champs which Drew Hunter and Karissa Schweizer won! We also chatted Josh Izewski’s insane 45:08 10 miler and some collegiate results (is Tayvon Kitchen the next Conner Mantz??).

We finished off the pod talking about Citius Mag’s Olympic Trials Marathon Power Rankings they put out after Boston. We had some agreement and disagreement with their rankings and it was a really fun topic to discuss for the American running fans out there!

On this episode, the boys had special guest Drew Hunter back on the podcast after his epic victory at the USA 5k Champs in Indy last weekend! Drew had an amazing kick to beat a very stacked field to guarantee his spot on the World Road Running Champs team later this year in Copenhagen!

We recapped the race weekend but also talked about his season as a whole so far. Including his road and indoor season, he has been overall pleased and rated it a B+. It was interesting hearing his thoughts on the Millrose Games - that was the main race this year he said he made some mistakes in.

There was a lot of valuable insight on this episode for all runners - including Drew's warmup routine for shorter races, his mindset in road vs track races, and making sure you enjoy the race trip as a whole instead of being entirely mentally driven by your race result. A great episode as always with Drew- enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on special guests Eric Floberg and Trevor Giampa! Both of them just broke 2:30 in this year's Boston Marathon! It was great to have them on together because not only did they run a lot of this race together, they also trained together including several of their key long runs.

We talked about the build into this race, got the full weekend recap from each of them + a lot of great stories from the race itself. It was special to hear about when they saw each other at the finish and realized they had both broken 2:30!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Kendall Fallas! Kendall just came off of an amazing performance at the BPN G1M Backyard Ultra - where he went 72 hours for a runner-up finish in brutal conditions. We recapped the entire race + his race prep in Costa Rica. 

We also chatted a day in Kendall’s life in Costa Rica- he is very family-centered and when he isn’t training he is working at his family coffee company! 

Kendall’s mental game is very strong which is a large reason why he is so good at these backyard events. We dug into that on this episode and he also talked about how he is making decisions now to become the person he wants to be in the years to come. Enjoy!
