316 | Scott Jurek, Ultrarunning God (Live from The Running Event w/ Satisfy) Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

Coming at you live from the floor of The Running Event (hence the audio) from inside the Satisfy booth, Thomas and Robbe chat with ultrarunning legend and Possessed Magazine cover boy Scott Jurek about growing up in Minnesota, fishing, transitioning into different stages of running and life, and how to not break your ankles while running on the pile of rocks known as the Pennsylvania section of the Appalachian Trail. We also somehow forgot to ask him about @yaboyscottjurek (not his account), which was our only regret.

315 | The Running Event Recap: Highs and Lows and In-Betweens of 2025 Nov 29, 2024

Show notes

We have endured the long odyssey known as The Running Event, and have returned to you with treasures galore, i.e. information on what's hot and what's not for 2025. It was a nonstop ride with over 25 meetings in 48 hours to see what's coming, and we try to give you our best analysis, in between getting sidetracked. Also, Meg may have been trafficked without knowing it. Guess we'll find out when the court docs are unsealed!

311 | Nike Zoom Fly 6 / Asics Novablast 5 Double Feature + Mindless Insanity Nov 15, 2024

Show notes

We'll be real– we don't even remember what happened during this train wreck of an episode that involved a debate on the consistency of ice rinks, reaching the end of the Instagram algorithm, the ongoing beef of Puma vs. Brooks, chicken soup for the soul, and terrible investing advice. Believe it or not, we eventually get around to the Nike Zoom Fly 6 and Asics Novablast 5.

310 | Charles Wesley Godwin, Musician Nov 11, 2024

Show notes

A wild and wonderful songwriter from the great state of West Virginia, Charles Wesley Godwin is also a passionate runner who incorporates it into his life both on and off the road. In this episode, Robbe chats with him about music, touring, Venus fly traps, baseball, The Avett Brothers, and being a Mountaineer.
