153 | Jess Movold, Strength & Running Coach
Logging thousands of miles a year means we could always use strength and conditioning advice. Applying it is a whole different thing, but at least we'll have the knowledge. To get that knowledge, we talked to Jess Movold, a licensed strength and running coach for Runner’s World+ members. Just ran a lifetime PR in Boston, 3:12, and her first postpartum marathon. She currently lives in Austin, TX with her husband and son Battle, which is probably the coolest name a human could ask for. She’s also a new member of the Train to NYC!

152 | New Balance More Trail v3, Monster Truck Recap, AI There Delilah
Well, the whole gang hit the trails last week and it was part awesome, part humbling. Thomas and Jarrett went on a bro-date to the monster truck rally and came away with some revelations. Robbe navigates his running or lack thereof, as well as human waste issues that aren't his. Meg reports back on her first week of being coached by Andrew Kastor. And we also talk about the New Balance More Trail v3. Be sure to check out Saysky running apparel, because summer is coming and you need to look hot but feel cool.

151 | Charlie Watson, Runnerbeans
We talked about her entry into running (her first marathon was London in 2012, where she ran for MIND in memory of her university housemate, Vic, who sadly took his own life after battling depression). Thoughts on being considered an influencer. How she’s a Six Star finisher. Her fertility journey -- she just had a child via surrogacy. And her next goal of hitting a BQ at the Valencia Marathon.

150 | Li-Ning, Martinis on Days That End in 'Y', Venus Fly Traps, Lot Lizards & More
Our break from Boston has gone a bit sideways and we're okay with it. Thomas and Meaghan go full James Bond in their drinking, Robbe buys his family's first pet, and our running is full of injuries as usual (we'll be okay). We also talk about the Li-Ning Feidian 3 Ultra, a performance shoe that may or may not cost $500.

148 | Boston Marathon Recap
Do we really need a description for this one? I guess so, since it's sponsored by Saysky. This is our Boston Marathon recap, where we rundown the entire Boston Marathon weekend, from meet-ups to shakeout runs race day itself. It was nothing short of amazing, as you probably know if you were there. It also produced way more bathroom stories than we could ever imagine possible, much to Meg's chagrin. Be sure to check out Saysky running apparel, because you know you need some new spring gear. Save 15% with code DROP15: https://saysky.us/
