Show notes

Becs Gentry is a peloton instructor, 2:32 marathoner, a mom, and an all-around amazing human. We first spoke with Becs on her podcast, Set the Pace, and immediately knew we wanted to hear more. Originally from London, Becs now lives in New York City teaching tread, strength and rowing classes. In this episode, we chat all about growing up in the UK, her time with Nike, running in the Olympic Marathon Trials and how she ended up at Peloton.

265 | Asics Magic Speed 4, Meg Wins Another Race, Running Roasts Jun 07, 2024

Show notes

We shed our shells in this episode and go really deep into nut talk (don't ask) and why there needs to be a roast of runners. We also cover some key Strava stats that show the running surge in real numbers, recap Meg's win at the Baltimore 10 Miler, and finally get around to talking about the Asics Magic Speed 4.

264 | Matt Niutta, Fractel Founder Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

Keeping cool is key in the summer months and your running hat has a lot to do with it. Robbe talks to Matt Niutta, founder of Fractel, an Australian-based headwear brand looking to make the best products for runners. One of those products is the Fractel x BITR Robbe Raccoon Signature Legionnaire (available now!). This is more of a fireside chat than a business talk, mostly because Robbe is primarily concerned with the state of Australian wildlife, so stick around for that sort of stuff.
Snag the Robbe Raccoon Signature Legionnaire at 6 p.m. ET on Monday, June 3: https://shop.believeintherun.com/

263 | On Cloudrunner 2, Legion Szn, Our Running "Whys" May 31, 2024

Show notes

The gang tries to acclimate to rising temps which can only mean one thing - it's Legion season and Robbe has a custom Fractel hat coming out on Monday. We also get a little deep and discuss our 'whys' of running, but the tangents are as weird as always. Finally, we chat about the new On Cloudrunner 2, which may or may not be your best stability option.

262 | Bobby Imamura, Teacher and ALS Running Partner May 27, 2024

Show notes

After a late start to running, Los Angeles math teacher Bobby Imamura became hooked on marathons, just like the rest of us. But at one point, he wasn't sure why. Until he started running with ALS (formerly known as Lou Gherig's disease) athletes, and seeing their goals become his own. Along the way, with the support of Tata Consultancy Services, they nearly broke the world record for running a marathon with a wheelchair while making an impact on all those around him. In April, Bobby finished the London Marathon for his sixth and final star of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.
