    #307 Peter Lynch - 2:06 at the London Marathon for Top European + Irish National Record

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had the legend Peter Lynch back on the podcast after his epic 2:06 run at the London Marathon! Not only did he break the Irish record, he was also the top European athlete in the race! We had Peter on just a few weeks before the race as well if you want to get to know him a bit + hear more about his build and tune-up race. We walked through Peter’s last few weeks of training for this build, his race day fueling, and of course got the recap of the race itself. It was also interesting to hear what Peter’s recovery looks like as a pro marathoner and to hear what might be next for him! Enjoy!

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had special guest Cole Sprout on the podcast! Cole was a 6 time NCAA D1 All American at Stanford and is now training professionally in Oregon under legendary coach Jerry Schumacher. We went through Cole's career to date on this episode and also talked about where he is going next - the marathon! We chatted a lot about how Jerry trains his marathon runners which was quite interesting! Cole said they do a lot of threshold work but do a lot even faster, including the "30/40" drill workout which he broke down on the episode. He also gave his opinion on if volume or specific sessions are more important + told us why he takes creatine!

    #304 - Pre-Run Morning Routines, 405lb Bench or 2:25 Marathon More Impressive?, Listener Emails

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had a fun banter episode talking about several random topics as we normally do! We started off with our pre-run routines in the morning. It was surprising to hear Scotty doesn't hydrate at all before runs lol. We also chatted if certain weightlifting achievements were more impressive than running achievements (we have no weightlifting experience so ChatGBT helped), sports during COVID - particularly the 2020 London Marathon, and read a couple funny listener emails.

    #303 - Shanghai Diamond League Was INSANE + NCAA Conference Weekend Highlights

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, I recapped a fun weekend of racing! I started off the episode doing a quick update on my own training and then we quickly dove into the Shanghai Diamond League. There were some epic results on the distance side of things in China! The men’s 3k was the deepest 3k all time, with 14 runners under 7:30! Faith Kipyegon was back in action winning the 5k and we also saw a very fast women’s 1500 with some American success! I also chatted about some highlights from NCAA Conference Meet weekend + Prefontaine Classic released some of their pro fields over the weekend so that was fun to preview a bit! Enjoy!

    #302 Sam Griffiths - Running Back to Back Marathon PBs at London & Copenhagen

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had very special guest Sam Griffiths back on the podcast! If you remember, not long ago we had Sam on for the first time to chat about his journey into running. He struggled with health and weight before starting to run and has become a very competitive runner in just a few years time! On that last episode, Sam was hoping for a big PR at London Marathon and did just that. Sam ran 2:23 at London, continuing his marathon PB streak (he has PR'd in every marathon he has done so far!). After the race, he felt like he still had some life in his legs and decided to take another shot at a sub-2:20 at Copenhagen Marathon just a couple weeks later! While he did not break 2:20 - he still ran another PB with a stellar 2:22 at Copenhagen! This pod has so many fun stories from both races and amazing training and racing advice- enjoy!

    #300 Vincent Mauri - 2:05 Debut at Glass City Marathon + Full Training Breakdown

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had very special guest Vincent Mauri on the podcast! Vincent shocked the running world a few weeks ago, running a solo 2:05 marathon at the Glass City Marathon in Toledo, Ohio in his debut! While this felt out of left field for most running fans, for Vincent it wasn't. He has been putting in high quality work for a long period of time and his consistency finally paid off big! One of the major topics of discussion has been Vincent's training style. He broke down a full week of training on this pod, but essentially he stacks three big days of training Sunday through Tuesday and then is doing mostly recovery (about 6:00/mi for him) the rest of the week. Another interesting tidbit on his training - he rarely uses super shoes! This was a really fun episode, Vincent was a great hang and we can't wait to see what he does next!

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had special guest Aaron Bienenfeld back on the podcast after his epic run at the Hamburg Marathon! Not only did he have an amazing debut for himself, running 2:08 in a competitive field, he also ran the fastest ever German debut marathon time! We got the full recap from race weekend and also talked training and fueling on this episode. Aaron also talked about how competitive German marathoning is right now. After some amazing performances so far this Spring and last Fall by German athletes - Aaron is not going to get comfortable at all with his 2:08 time. For now though - his objective moves to trying to make the German team at the European outdoor championships in the 10k!

    #297 Michael Ottesen - The Mile 24 Hamstring Cramp That Derailed the Boston Marathon

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had Michael Ottesen on the podcast to recap the Boston Marathon! This was Michael's first World Major Marathon and he was in the elite field! It was interesting to hear about the behind the scenes of the elite field especially from the perspective of someone who has never had an experience like that! Michael had an amazing training block going into Boston - his best ever. Going into halfway he was on about 2:10 marathon pace, got over the Newton Hills well, but at Mile 24 disaster struck. The twinges in his hamstring turned into a massive cramp and forced him to fully stop for about 2 minutes. He was able to struggle to the finish line, just missing the OTQ standard by a few seconds!

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, I had my good friend Corbin Harris join me to discuss some current running events! Despite not a super heavy race weekend - there was still a lot of fun topics to discuss! The biggest race of last week was the USA 5k Road Champs which Drew Hunter and Karissa Schweizer won! We also chatted Josh Izewski’s insane 45:08 10 miler and some collegiate results (is Tayvon Kitchen the next Conner Mantz??). We finished off the pod talking about Citius Mag’s Olympic Trials Marathon Power Rankings they put out after Boston.

    #295 Drew Hunter - Winning the USA Road 5k Champs, 2028 Marathon Trials or Not?, Warmup Routine

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had special guest Drew Hunter back on the podcast after his epic victory at the USA 5k Champs in Indy last weekend! Drew had an amazing kick to beat a very stacked field to guarantee his spot on the World Road Running Champs team later this year in Copenhagen! We recapped the race weekend but also talked about his season as a whole so far. Including his road and indoor season, he has been overall pleased and rated it a B+. It was interesting hearing his thoughts on the Millrose Games - that was the main race this year he said he made some mistakes in. There was a lot of valuable insight on this episode for all runners - including Drew's warmup routine for shorter races, his mindset in road vs track races, and making sure you enjoy the race trip as a whole instead of being entirely mentally driven by your race result. A great episode as always with Drew- enjoy! FOLLOW DREW!

    #293 Kendall Fallas - 72 Hours at the BPN Backyard Ultra + Being Intentional About Who You Are Becoming

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had on special guest Kendall Fallas! Kendall just came off of an amazing performance at the BPN G1M Backyard Ultra - where he went 72 hours for a runner-up finish in brutal conditions. We recapped the entire race + his race prep in Costa Rica. We also chatted a day in Kendall’s life in Costa Rica- he is very family-centered and when he isn’t training he is working at his family coffee company! Kendall’s mental game is very strong which is a large reason why he is so good at these backyard events. We dug into that on this episode and he also talked about how he is making decisions now to become the person he wants to be in the years to come. Enjoy!

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had Ryan Ford back on the podcast! Ryan just ran 2:05 to finish 12th overall and 4th American at the Boston Marathon.

Ryan talked about how the race played out for him, racing for American spots late, and if he was happy with the result. He also reported back on how his high carb fueling went! If you remember on the pre-race interview, he said he was going for 160g/hr of carbs in the race! While it wasn't perfect the back half, the front loading seemed to work out well for him!
