If you listen to the podcast, you already know. We were going hard in the paint for the Kevin Salvano during the Olympic Marathon Trials and while it may not have been his day, he went full send and that's all that matters. Find out how he got to the Trials in the first place and what it's like to "quit running" and then run a 2:16 for your first marathon.

Meg and Thomas return from Charleston and Thomas comes back with an accent that linguistically lands somewhere between Colonel Sanders and eastern European. We also get into some edge-of-the-seat commentary on produce storage, Godzilla, and running updates as we train for Boston. We also give our thoughts on the Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris and Edge Paris, which are the best race day shoes Asics has ever put out.

We go where other podcasts don't dare to go. Mainly because other podcasters aren't finding copius amounts of watter bottles filled with urine on their runs and talking about it. We also talk about our running, our fears, our favorite shows right now, and the Hoka Mach 6 - a lightweight, fun, and more durable trainer that Hoka fans will/should/probably love.

We hit the trails for some fun this past weekend, then felt like Travis Kelce knocked the hat off our heads as we were heading to 4th period Math. Cause he would do that. We also discuss our favorite cheaters in running this week (including Robbe), and eventually talk about the On Cloudmonster 2.

Well, it was magic down in Orlando. Over the course of three days, we packed it in. From shake out runs to podcasts to random encounters with many of you on the streets, we had an absolute blast. Of course, it was all capped off with a race to remember on Saturday morning, where we finally got to see who will be representing the United States in Paris this summer. Thanks to Hoka and Citius Mag for partnering with us throughout the week, Justin Hall (@justin_yall) and Chase Fleming (@chaseflemingphoto) for capturing photos, and thanks to all of you for coming out and supporting us and the running community. Now let's to go France.  Watch the YouTube video recap: https://youtu.be/CGyoCHEfRkoRead the Hoka Cielo X1 review: https://believeintherun.com/shoe-reviews/hoka-cielo-x1-review/ This is episode is sponsored by LMNT.
