ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It is just Tommie and Aaron holding it down this week, and we are going all-in on Chicago Marathon preparation! If you are traveling for a marathon this fall, this is your ultimate guide. We break down the do's and don'ts of your packing checklist, the real secrets to carb loading, and how to avoid the trappings of the race expo. We also cover the logistics of choosing a shakeout run, planning your marathon eve dinner, and how to stop doom scrolling the night before the race.
Once race morning hits, we talk about getting to the start line and keeping your effort honest in the first half of the race. We also dive deep into the Chicago Marathon route details, including that dreadful out-and-back portion and the infamous "Mt. Roosevelt" waiting for you at the end! Beyond the marathon, we react to Wiz Khalifa becoming the newest running superstar, discuss Hyrox's latest incontinence scandal, and review the On Cloudboom Strike 2. Plus, Run Culture Court is in session to decide what actually constitutes a proper PR and to yell at people who walk in lane 1 of a public track!
