Jeff Stafford, Liz Canty and Cary Long join me to talk about the big changes to Strava, virtual races, difficult decisions every runner has to make at some point, and we settle an argument over a popular aid station snack. We also share a new virtual running challenge from Canada that is hard, fun and free.

The Adventures of Michael Wardian
00:56:13
Michael Wardian joins me to share his story from his first marathon, where he had some pretty interesting rules about running, through his win at the Quarantine Backyard Ultra. He also shares plans for something he would like to do for 100 miles on a treadmill that has never been done before. This was recorded before Zach Bitter's record breaking treadmill run.

Episode 001: Karl "The Speed Goat" Meltzer
01:06:10
Welcome to the first episode of the podcast. I do take a minute to address the elephant in the studio with my old podcast. Then I have a hilarious conversation with the Goat himself, Karl Meltzer. Crank out some miles with me and Karl, some miles may be slower due to laughter. My apologies for the Zoom "clip" you hear from time to time.
