On this episode, we got the epic Mesa Marathon recap from our own co-host Danny P. Danny had an EPIC weekend in Mesa, coming home with a 3+ minute PR! We got the full race breakdown on this episode, including why Danny started the race several minutes late!!!

Danny also had several fun stories from the weekend, including Rory Linkletter being a surprise guest at the team dinner the night before the race!

We also had some really good conversation about how far Danny has come in the sport. His first marathon was 4:41 and now he is a 2:37 guy!

Enjoy!

On this episode, we had on special guest Sydney Park! Sydney is a 21 year-old college student at BYU with ambitions of becoming a professional ultra-runner after college. We had to have her on the podcast after seeing her dedication level, it is truly inspiring.

Sydney ran over 6,000 miles last year as a full-time college student with a part-time job, she is in the gym five days a week, only eats whole foods, and has an impressive recovery routine. She walks us through a day in the life on this episode, how she stays healthy running 140+ miles per week, and her gym routine.

Welcome back to another banter episode with the boys! The intro on this episode was.... wow. The boys definitely need to try out at American idol. Danny got a pair of the Puma supershoes and he is convinced they are better than the Alphafly's - what do you think? They are going to be his race shoe at Mesa next weekend!

We also talked about some recent running news, including Jacob Kiplimo's world half-marathon record NOT being ratified + a 16 year-old running 3:48 in the mile?

We finished off talking winter running (a common theme lately, it's been brutal out there for many of us) + we each listed some underrated things. Enjoy!
