080 | Steven Sashen, Founder of Xero Shoes

Buckle up, because this is a wild ride into the world of minimalist shoes with Xero Shoes founder Steven Sashen. Steve declined an offer on Shark Tank and ended up turning his small company into a $12 million dollar brand focused on the natural form of running. Even in the golden era of max cushion shoes, his company continues to find a dedicated consumer base. He's not afraid to spell out and defend his running philosophy in this interview.

In the intro, we talk about our training, the Barkley Marathons, Gate River Run, and Eliud Kipchoge's continued dominance in winning the Tokyo Marathon.

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.

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.

Thomas and Meaghan take on quite the adventure the week before the Boston Marathon. Robbe finishes watching Spirited Away and learns that you can't drink a shirt. Thomas encounters a rabid dog in his own house. We cover the Asics Gel-Cumulus 25 and wonder where it fits in at this point.

His name would have you think he bats cleanup for the 1927 Yankees, but Casey Comber is actually an Under Armour athlete with the UA Mission Run team right here in Baltimore. (Update: the man just finished in second-place at the iconic B.A.A. Mile over Boston Marathon weekend, less than a half-second behind winner Hobbs Kessler.) We got him into the studio to talk shoes, life as a professional athlete, and what it's like to sleep in an altitude tent all the time.
