We rode the inspiration wave from witnessing history for this great episode! The main topic was on the mind-boggling finish from Jasmin Paris at the Barkley Marathons. She is the first woman to finish the race, and we think it will go down as one of the most impressive endurance achievements ever. We break down why that is, and we proceed to eat some crow based on past statements about the race that she proved wrong. Jasmin dares us all to dream bigger.

We also had a blast breaking down our races at the Crown King Scramble 50k! If you have listened for a while, you have heard Megan go through the lowest lows, wondering if she'd ever get back where she was. Well...the queen is back! She ran the 2nd fastest time in the race's 32-year history, and we break down some fun lessons and stories from the journey.

And this one was packed full of cool topics! Other topics: discussing Barkley and how our thoughts on it have changed, the best pre-race dinner, crying at a country music video, racing with heart rate data, our evolving thoughts on strength work, why we are loving the squat rack, why the podcast may be sabotaging David's chances of winning big races, how it's not all about training miles, improving downhills in training, a new hot water immersion study, our skeptical thoughts on new science connecting time-restricted eating with cardiovascular risk, a study on NSAIDs and performance, social media research and how that may relate to Strava, the importance of powerful butts, and hot takes.
