    On this episode, the boys had a surprise banter episode due to a time confusion with it guest and it turned out to be a pretty good episode! We gave training updates and Chris also shared the achilles advice he indirectly received from Clayton Young.

    We did a bit of Midwest states trivia and debated more if Midwest runners are the toughest runners. Danny brought a case study to the podcast - he has a friend trying to break 5 in the mile but can only run 20 miles a week. Much more fun topics - enjoy!

    #352 Taggart VanEtten - Common Mistakes in Marathon Builds, Best All-Around Trainers, Breaking the Injury Cycle

    2026/08/06 | 1h 8 mins.
    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!

    On this episode, the boys had on our good friend Taggart VanEtten! Taggart is the 100 mile world record holder on the treadmill and a 2:21 marathoner out of Morton, IL. We caught up on Taggart’s recent training/racing and what is next for him! He recently broke a long injury cycle, dealing with his low back. Currently, he is training at 80-90 mile weeks while incorporating a lot of Zwift cycling.

    The back half of the episode we talked about some hot/relevant topics in running! This included if Josh Kerr or Sawe’s record was more impressive, what shoe we would wear if we could only wear one in a marathon build, and common mistakes in marathon training. Enjoy!

    2026/08/04 | 1h 7 mins.
    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!

    On this episode, the boys recapped an epic weekend in Louisville! Danny and Scotty had some stories to share from before the track meet, and then we also got recaps of both of their evenings and individual races. We also started planning for next year and brainstormed some fun ideas on how we can make the event even better! Blue Jeans Mile? Spindrift Mile? Prize money for leader of the mile at halfway?

    After the race, a lot of us met up for a long run at the Parklands here in Louisville to cap off an epic weekend. Enjoy!

    #349 Mark Dowdle - Mid-State Mile Recap, Joining Rappid + Announcing Last Soul Backyard Ultra Entry

    2026/08/01 | 1h 14 mins.
    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!

    On this episode, the boys had the backyard ultra/motivational speaking legend Mark Dowdle back on the podcast! 

    A lot has changed since we first had Mark on earlier this year. On his first episode with us, he was a relative unknown in the ultra/backyard scene. Now - he has won the BPN Last Man Standing, is a BPN/Rappid Athlete, and is feared on any backyard start line. 

    Mark’s recent big race was the Mid-State Mile, where he had an epic duel with Harvey Lewis. We recapped that race and talked about what he learned in getting 2nd to Harvey.

    Mark had a couple big announcements on this pod! He just picked up a new apparel sponsorship with Rappid and is also running Kim Gottwald’s Last Soul Ultra here in just a couple weeks in Germany against a stacked field.
