You run a race, you finish, and then it's a memory. If it's a goal race, you probably want to remember that memory, and that's where MarathonFoto comes in. So much goes into getting you those photos, so we dive in and ask Brad and Conor how the race day orchestration works. By the end of this convo you'll have a much deeper appreciation for everything that goes into getting you that photo finish. Looking to run sub-4 at the Chicago Marathon?

Things don't stop around here, as we're in the throes of fall marathon training. Meg goes full emo and bleeds herself dry for the long run (thanks to some hardcore chafing), Robbe heads for the hills of Pennsylvania to take down some carny clowns, and Thomas goes full voodoo doll with his dry needling regimen. And then there's the Puma MagMax, a shoe that belongs in Mad Max (and we're okay with that).Looking to run sub-4 at the Chicago Marathon? Join our very unofficial group to help pace you to your goal.

We've interviewed transcontinental runners like the legendary Mike Wardian, but this is a first. Cameron Balser is an ultrarunner and Mount to Coast athlete who recently finished a nearly year-long journey running the perimeter of the United States, averaging nearly 40 miles a day over that time, entirely self-supported. We talk about the challenges he faced, the people he met along the way, and his pair of Mount to Coast R1 that he wore for his last leg, racking up 1,100 miles with plenty of life still left.Follow Cameron on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerondeanbalser/Check out Mount to Coast: https://mounttocoast.com/

Dreams do come true, folks. The team headed to Paris last week, so we decided to check out some of the local events, like the Olympic Games. There was dancing and cheering and food and drinks. Group runs galore, where Robbe wore his Legionnaire to the Louvre, a modern art masterpiece if there ever was one. It was truly an amazing experience and we're glad we got to see a bunch of you in the process. Not, it's time to get ready for Berlin and Chicago. We'll sleep when we're dead.Looking to run sub-4 at Chicago? Join our unofficial group to help pace you along the way.
