We're here! It's race week for the Western States 100. This episode talks through how we're feeling before the moonshot. Hopefully there are helpful similarities to all of the big, scary things in your lives!

We also break down a new study that feels like the Manhattan Project of sports science, testing "replicability" in the field. You know it's serious when there are 99 authors! It found low replicability rates, particularly related to effect size, with massive implications for how we think about interpreting research.

Finally, we answer a question about building belief in life.

Thank you so much for being here along the journey! A year ago, this would have seemed unthinkable. But with the love and support of so many people lifting us up, here’s what we’ve learned in that time:

All big scary goals are unthinkable before they happen.

Training is the test, and racing is the celebration. Time to celebrate!

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.” -Mary Oliver (Ollie’s namesake)

BELIEVE.

WILDLY.

PRECIOUSLY.

-David and Megan
