#88 Jake Barraclough - Running 150+ Miles a Week, Moving to Japan to Chase the Pro Marathoner Dream
On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Jake Barraclough! Jake is from London, but did run in college for a few years in the US. After college, he moved home and got a job. During this time, he became very motivated to get better at the marathon distance. He did some reading on Japanese marathoning and their high mileage training and was hooked. He quit his job and decided to not only adopt this training method, but also found an opportunity for himself to move to Tokyo Japan (hence the name of his socials/Youtube: RanToJapan). In just one year living and training in Japan, Jake has dropped his marathon time 20+ minutes to 2:17! He has also been working on learning Japanese and built a succesful YouTube channel documenting his journey. We discussed Jake’s experience in Japan so far, what running 150 miles + per week has been like, and his future goals!

#74 Joe Greer - Pastor to Photographer, Documentary Preview, Chicago Marathon Goals
On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Joe Greer! Joe is a husband, father, photographer, and runner. Friend of the pod Eric Floberg made a documentary about Joe’s life that will be available to the public by the end of 2024 called “Moving Still.” There have been a few premiers of the film already, but if you want to dive deeper than this episode into Joe’s life, make sure you follow both Eric and Joe on socials for release details. Joe had a really interesting career journey. He dropped out of college and went to bible college in Washington. His plan was to become a pastor. But then - Instagram came out. Joe quickly gained a following on Instagram with his photography and ended up working at the company VSCO (all of you OG Instagram users remember VSCO, right?). From there, his photography career took off and Joe is now a full time photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend a follow to Joe’s Instagram account, which will be linked below. Joe ran in high school, but found running again in his 30s after an extended break. He quickly learned he was talented at the sport and now, at age 36, is shooting for a sub 2:30 at the Chicago Marathon. We discussed his training block and race plans. We had a really nice time getting to know Joe a little better, and we think you will too. Enjoy!

Trip struggled with addiction/alcohol for several years after college. In 2020, he took a hard look in the mirror and decided this wasn’t the life he wanted to live. Empowered by his faith, he became sober and made some major life changes along the way. 15 months after deciding to turn his life around, he completed an Ironman. Trip now speaks publicly at high schools around the country, hoping to inspire and save the younger generation from making the same mistakes he did.

#71 Brad Pierce - Elite Triathlete to Marathoner, How to Dominate Business in Your 20’s
On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Brad Pierce! Brad is an elite triathlete but he is currently training for the Chicago Marathon. He also happens to be a training partner of ours and has shared a lot of miles with Cheston throughout the block! Brad brings a unique perspective to his marathon training, which we discussed on this episode. While his weekly run mileage is fairly low, he is using other training methods to get a lot of his weekly aerobic work in. We also got to learn about what changes Brad made to go from average to high-level triathlete. We didn’t have Brad on just to talk about endurance sport though. Since high school, he has been starting businesses and learning a lot in the process. We talk about his business journey so far, what he is up to now, and get some actionable advice for any young entrepreneurs out there. Enjoy!

#69 Dominic Schlueter - Choosing Business over College, Lessons from Elites, Coffee w your HS Self
Yes, it’s here. Episode 69! For this one, the boyz had to get a huge guest and we came through for you with Dominic Schlueter, the host of “The Running Effect” podcast. Dominic is an extremely impressive 19 year old. In 8th grade, he first thought of creating “The Running Effect,” and by the time he finished high school had established himself as a very serious player in the running content scene. He has built a massive following not only on his podcast, but also on social media. He has partnered with major running brands such as Brooks and Maurten, and he also promotes different meets and running events across the country. We talked about the creation of the podcast, some of his most memorable interviews, and what’s next for Dominic. We also discussed his own running journey and got to learn a lot about his philosophy on life that has driven him to be so successful at such an early age. Right when we hopped on and started chatting before we hit record we knew this would be an awesome episode, and it truly was. Enjoy! FOLLOW DOMINIC!
