057 | Parker Stinson, Saucony Pro Athlete
He's fast, he's a badass, and he unveiled Saucony's latest racer at the Falmouth Road Race. Parker Stinson (@_parker_stinson_) is a Saucony pro runner who was a 9x All-American at the University of Oregon and holds the U.S. record for the 25K. That's a weird distance, we know. We talked about the 25K and other obscure race distances with Parker, as well as trash-talking pre-race, his pain cave, working out at night on the treadmill, and, of course, the Endorphin Pro+ (29:04). The gang also gives a quick review of the Endorphin Pro+ and recaps Shalane Flanagan's Berlin Marathon.

056 | Jordan Tropf, 3 Marathons in 3 Days
For most of us, running one marathon under 2:30 is a pipe dream. Then there's Jordan Tropf, who is trying to run under that time in back to back to back races in less than 72 hours as he takes on the Baltimore Marathon, Chicago Marathon, and Boston Marathon in October. Listen to Jordan as he talks about his training, goals, and taking on this insane challenge (33:24). The gang also talks about the Norda X Ciele 001 trail shoe, and more (21:07).

He went to law school and decided he wanted to run instead of reading law papers all the time. Tim Rossi is a New Yorker at heart and the founder of the Lostboys Track Club. Tim (and the club itself) is a great vibe, and we got to chat with him about his early days at Emory School of Medicine, the NYC running scene, and throwing up the 'L' at races (30:11). We also debate the 5K vs. the marathon with him. Follow the Lostboys on Instagram @lostboystrackclub
