420 | Puma Magmax Nitro 2, Meg and The Marathon Project, Taylor Swift's Giving

Happy E420 from the team! While we didn't ingest anyting to celebrate, we did go stream of consciousness on this episode. From Jimmy Eat World to the Army/Navy game to Meg's pre-race sickness, Baltimore had a lot going on this weekend. Speaking of races, Meg is headed out to Arizona to run the Marathon Project in a very special prototype. We also talk about The Running Ground, overzealous soccer parents, Taylor Swift's generosity, and Kim Conley's incredible comeback at the 2012 Olympic Trials. Finally, we end up covering the Puma Magmax Nitro 2, a great max cushion trainer that can kind of do anything.

The second most famous runner we've ever interviewed (I mean, who can top Kipchoge?), Erin Azar is the running queen of Tiktok and Insta reels. Probably because she's funny as hell and puts out the most relatable running content that we've all experienced at some time in our run journeys. We talk about how she got started, where she's going, and the wild world of being a social media star.
