    #289 Frank Crisci - Going 128 Miles at the BPN G1M Backyard Ultra + Living Life to the Fullest in NYC

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had the legend Frank Crisci back on the podcast! We need to get this guy on more often - he is a great hang! We mainly focused on the BPN G1M Last Man Standing recap on this episode. In the first edition, Frank was one of the top finishers and was able to level up his performance from last year, going 128 miles this time! We talked about the course conditions, the competition last year vs this year, his race prep and more! Frank was clearly the vibes guy at the race this year too - he was always dancing and playing his music for everyone. It was also interesting to hear about Frank’s day in the life as a personal trainer and PT in NYC. He has a busy life but finds a way to get it done every day! Enjoy!

His post said he wasn't ready to go - is he injured again? What does this mean for the American field now? I also touched on some NCAA news including Jane Hedengren setting the NCAA 10k record in impressive fashion with a big negative split. Enjoy!

    #274 Thomas Nobbs - Running 2:09 Solo to Win McKirdy Marathon & Become 4th Fastest Canadian All Time

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had special guest Thomas Nobbs on the podcast! Thomas just came off a huge PR at McKirdy Marathon last weekend, where he ran 2:09 to become the 4th fastest Canadian all-time! Even more impressive- he ran the last 35k completely solo. Thomas actually ran at University of Washington for a bit before finishing up at University of British Columbia. He now resides in Ottawa - meaning he had to train for this race almost entirely on the treadmill! We talked about his training and nutrition on this pod and also walked through his pre-race routines. Of course, we got the full recap of race weekend and also what might be next for Thomas. We hope to see him with a shoe contract and in a major marathon this fall!
