183 | Morgan Wade, Country Music Artist

We wish we knew her in our wilder days, but we know her now. Morgan Wade is a country music artist who also happens to love weightlifting, running, and ultrarunning. We talk about what it's like to be the Travis Barker lookalike of country music (she has a solid collection of tattoos), a woman in the industry, growing up in a small town, running trails, and more. This was a really fun conversation about running and life. Download or stream her newest album "Psychopath," on August 25. Listen to her debut album "Reckless," featuring her hit song "Wilder Days," wherever you get your music. Follow Morgan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganwademusic/

Blink and it's 182. I guess this is growing up, but we're still kids at heart when it comes to discussing airplane etiquette, STD billboards in Baltimore, waterbeds for the rich and poor, and the all-new Brooks Ghost Max.

Shoes and running apparel are cool, but they're a lot cooler when Greg Itahara gets his hands on them. Greg is a visual storyteller, an artist who has excelled at creating beautiful and unique designs that oftentimes find themselves on one-off shoes, including the hand-painted Asics Gel-Kayano 30 that he presented to Kayano-San himself at our office here in Baltimore. We were honored to have him in our studio to talk about art, storytelling, creativity, and more. Follow Greg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itahara_art/

179 | Dr. Phil Maffetone, Founder of the MAF Method for Heart Rate Training

We probably should have had him on a long time ago, but better late than never. Dr. Phil Maffetone is a coach, author, innovator, and founder of the 180 Formula and the MAF test for heart rate training. He's basically the godfather of the field, which has seen a huge surge in followers over the last decade. He's also been an advisor to music legends like Rick Rubin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, and James Taylor. In this episode, we talk about heart rate training and its benefits, as well as his new research into music and its affect on the mind and training. This is a long one, but it was a lot of fun and super interesting! Learn more about Dr. Maffetone's work: https://philmaffetone.com/

177 | Brett Fraser, Enhanced Games, Chief Athletes Officer

Look, we had to know what they were all about, so we went straight to the source. Brett Fraser is the Chief Athletes Officer for the Enhanced Games, a sporting event without drug testing, billed as "an alternative to the corrupt Olympic Games."This is an open conversation about the persistence of drugs in sport, the idea of "scientifically-enhanced" athletes, and whether or not that's a good thing or a bad thing for sport overall. There are definitely two sides to this issue and both have certain merits, whether you agree or not. Either way, we're interested to see how it plays out over the next year and a half.
