Listener Question of the week asks what elite runners do between hard efforts and races that amateurs miss out on, and what can be done as athletes get older.

The boys then review the ASICS Metaspeed+ Series, reviewing differences between the Metaspeed Sky+ and the Metaspeed Edge+, going through how they find the ride of each and where they find it in their rotation.

Moose on the Loose talks about the mounting costs and fees involved with state representation after you’ve qualified for the privilege.
