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.

Crazy and weird is the name of the game around here, so it was only appropriate that we asked Mike Wardian to come into the studio for this episode of the show. Mike is an ultrarunner sponsored by Hoka and Coros, who recently ran across the United States over 60 days. He also holds the world record for the fastest average time in the 7 marathons/7 continents/7 days challenge. This was such a great conversation about running, staying healthy, nutrition, and more.
