You’ve probably heard of the classic game “Would you rather” but we’re giving it a running-themed twist by focusing on topics related to the marathon. There’s a lot that can happen throughout a marathon and you’ll hear our thoughts on many of them from race day struggles to performance breakthroughs.

This is a fun and lighthearted conversation about training topics experienced runners will be familiar with themselves. Some of the questions we’ll ask include:

Would you rather…

Win a race or PR
Deal with chafing or cramping
Never get injured or always fuel your run perfectly
Underfuel or manage GI problems the whole race

We’d rather you enjoy hearing this episode so let’s get into it!

Athlete shout-outs:

Joel Mendez: For setting a HS record in the mile
