We shed our shells in this episode and go really deep into nut talk (don't ask) and why there needs to be a roast of runners. We also cover some key Strava stats that show the running surge in real numbers, recap Meg's win at the Baltimore 10 Miler, and finally get around to talking about the Asics Magic Speed 4.

Keeping cool is key in the summer months and your running hat has a lot to do with it. Robbe talks to Matt Niutta, founder of Fractel, an Australian-based headwear brand looking to make the best products for runners. One of those products is the Fractel x BITR Robbe Raccoon Signature Legionnaire (available now!). This is more of a fireside chat than a business talk, mostly because Robbe is primarily concerned with the state of Australian wildlife, so stick around for that sort of stuff.Snag the Robbe Raccoon Signature Legionnaire at 6 p.m. ET on Monday, June 3: https://shop.believeintherun.com/Shop Fractel: https://fractel.us/

The gang tries to acclimate to rising temps which can only mean one thing - it's Legion season and Robbe has a custom Fractel hat coming out on Monday. We also get a little deep and discuss our 'whys' of running, but the tangents are as weird as always. Finally, we chat about the new On Cloudrunner 2, which may or may not be your best stability option.

After a late start to running, Los Angeles math teacher Bobby Imamura became hooked on marathons, just like the rest of us. But at one point, he wasn't sure why. Until he started running with ALS (formerly known as Lou Gherig's disease) athletes, and seeing their goals become his own. Along the way, with the support of Tata Consultancy Services, they nearly broke the world record for running a marathon with a wheelchair while making an impact on all those around him. In April, Bobby finished the London Marathon for his sixth and final star of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.Watch Bobby's documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JwaFDStDb0I

We went mining on Threads to get some topics for this week's podcast and they hit hard on everything from running trends to race questions to... just kidding, it all went off the rails.
