We did the Cape Cod kwassa kwassa, running the Falmouth Road Race with Asics this past weekend. We recap all that, including Meg's completion of the Kofuzi Truly Challenge (and her amazing performance on race day). Robbe also scavenges someone's breakfast in the airport and you get to find out if we're gonna be cremated when we die, because why not. Oh, and we talk about the Puma Magnify Nitro 2, a max cushion trainer that we've been enjoying this week.

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/

Things go sideways real quick this week as we try to test the limits of our listeners' attention spans. Thomas and Robbe discuss toothpaste squeezing methods, Thomas gets Robbe to try a drunken cookie recipe, Meg is handed a get out of jail free coin, and we also respond to the torrent of comments on our Dr. Phil Maffetone episode.

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/

Meg forgets what week/month it is, Thomas may turn any day now (we're keeping him in a cage to be safe), Robbe catches crabs in a good way.
