EP 30! Nick Symmonds Drama + Covid Running Boom?

Nick Symmonds and Peter Bromka have beef and does mentioning Jim Walmsley immediately give us views? Who knows, find out on this episode. We also talk a little bit about Ryan Hall and his transformation, BTC's insane time trials, and other news in the running world in this odd covid running boom.

EP 29: Cars are Cool

EP 29: Cars are Cool

Still on our liberal agenda of course. That said we had news of some interesting time trials the night of recording, we'll recap what the results were afterwards since neither TT was live streamed. Talking about some athlete updates, and a lot of talk about cars. Stay tuned for car hour with Ty Bowman.

EP 28: Impossible Games, Christian Coleman, and Facebook

EP 28: Impossible Games, Christian Coleman, and Facebook

Facebook is a gold mine for these whack people guys. If you didn't know, this podcast is hereby sponsored by Antifa. We probably won't joke about it much more because shit might actually happen lmao.

We sort of had a little hiatus with BLM stuff and a lack of running news, so this was a bit of a catch up episode. Podcast is likely to come back to shooting the shit for an hour with some running related commentary. We'll see how the flow goes. Hope y'all continue to enjoy the podcast.

EP 26! The Marathon Finish

Welcome to the marathon finish line ladies and gentleman! 26 whole episodes lmao. Enjoy this one, back to the same structure as the usual along w/ Episode 25, getting in our groove again now that there's some controversial running news.

Talking about more programs getting cancelled, some D3 All American News, Strava Changes, and the HS sub-4 mile (which has now happened!).

Thanks for sticking around y'all. Went a little long on this episode but it's all worth it. Last half hour gets a little unstructured but still good.

EP 21.5: The "Pre-Show" for ep21

If you listen to the start you'll know that we assumed Tey was going to be with us earlier but that wasn't the case due to a timing mishap on my end haha, but the real episode 21 began when he joined us 5 mins after we closed off this episode. Hope you enjoy some slight shenanigans and our desperate hunt for running related news.

EP Covid-19: Talking about Everything (Tokyo 2021)

EP Covid-19: Talking about Everything (Tokyo 2021)

We recorded this a couple days ago, and we tried scheduling some guests but alas no cigar. The format might change a little bit in the future with how we get guests and what exactly this podcast talks about during these trying times. Stay safe out there kiddos. 

Longer episode that what we've been aiming for recently, but still short compared to our older ones. Also y'all should have time, so just listen! This is a fun one :)

We discussed the basics that everyone in the running world should know, speculated a little about the Olympics, and generally have a good conversation about our own personal training. We'll see how the podcast takes shape the next couple weeks without any running news. Hopefully y'all enjoy this one :)

EP 12: Cafeteria Food and Mechanical Doping

EP 12: Cafeteria Food and Mechanical Doping

We have a quickie for you boys this evening. 20 minute cold open basically talking about cafeteria food, and then we get right into Walmsley and AlphaFly controversy. Some light commentary on Mary Cain and Katelyn Tuohy's 3K performances this weekend, but not as deep dive as usual on this slower week.
We took a week off in anticipation of some more news but no dice, so we wanted to keep it up anyways. No real timestamps on this one as its more conversational and we fluctuate from thought to thought. Pretty clear we all share a singular brain cell.
Enjoy the pod!

EP 10 ft BEN BARROWS

EP 10 ft BEN BARROWS

Hey guys, thanks for listening for 10 whole episodes. Today we bring the special episode, which is an episode with the man, the myth, the legend, Ben Barrows. It's thanks to this discord that we three hosts met and became friends and chose to start this podcast! This interview was a bit more "upright" and proper compared to our usual style, but we wanted to meet the level of professionalism expected of a running YouTuber and college coach like Ben. This episode is basically a little interview with Ben with questions that we were mostly curious about, with some regular banter thrown in. If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a review on whatever streaming platform you may be watching on - Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, etc. We'd appreciate all the feedback


Without further ado, here are some rough timestamps for the podcast:

0:00-10:00 - cold open and introduction to the hosts

20:00-36:00 - Ben's PR's, sub-15 / Houston training, the editing lifestyle and logistics

36:00-48:00 - some fun Q&A, a running legend, and 10K subscribers

48:00-54:30 - being a running purist, Strava vs. Running2Win

54:30-68:30 - professionalism, famous encounters, being a coach

EP 7: CIM and Olympic Trials Hot Takes, Spencer rants about D3 Inequality, Running Justice

No timestamps just yet, but we cover a lot of little news and have some hot takes about the Olympic Trials based on CIM performances, some discussion about shoes, and Spencer rants about D3 vs. D1 and even intra-D3 disparity when it comes to budget and running as an unattached athlete.

Got some interesting LetsRun threads and our weekly Salazar clowning and 1609 podcast shoutout. We really got into the zone in the middle this week, we're sad we couldn't have a guest but with winter break around the corner we're hoping to have some cool new peeps on the show.

In the meantime, listen to the end of episode 6 at least to hear Shreyas one-take the fast verse of Logic's gang related adequately.

We'd also love for you to drop us a review on iTunes / Spotify / Google Podcasts to let us know how we could improve the show!
