#269 Corbin Harris - How to Break 15 in the 5k, Why Speed Blocks Are Important, Going All In to OTQ
Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had our good friend Corbin Harris back on the podcast! Corbin is one of the best runners in the Kentucky road running scene right now, with PRs of 2:21 in the marathon, 66 minutes in the half, 31:20 in the 10k, and 14:53 in the 5k! Corbin recently ran the Marathon Project in December, rolling with the OTQ group for a lot of the race and was able to hang on for a nice 2:21 personal best! In the last couple weeks, Corbin has been racing the Triple Crown series that Scotty has been doing, taking second in the 5k and 10k. In the 5k, he broke 15 for the first time! We talked a lot about race strategy and how he plans to approach the 10 miler next weekend in hopes of a victory to finish out the race series! We also touched on a few current event topics in running. Enjoy!

#267 - Scotty's 10k Recap, Will Chris Break 2:20 at McKirdy?, Heat Training vs. Altitude Training
Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys started off with a recap of Scotty's 10k race last weekend! He had a solid race overall and some fun stories to share from race morning. We talked about his last move to shake off some competition late in the race, his rivalry with our good friend and LIS coach Stauderman, and more! Chris gave some final thoughts on McKirdy Marathon this coming weekend. The back and glute aren't 100% but the shape and race opportunity are great so we are going to give it a big effort and see what happens! Lastly, Danny has been running in both altitude and heat the past couple weeks. We talked about the difference between training at heat and altitude and which one Danny thinks is harder. Enjoy!

#266 - Clayton Young to Brooks, Josh Kerr Defeats Cole Hocker, Mantz Ready for Boston?
Visit lisrunning.com for run coaching! On this episode, I did a recap of some recent pro running news and also previewed my McKirdy Marathon this weekend a bit! Some of the biggest news was last week where Clayton Young announced his signing with Brooks. I broke down why I think he signed with Brooks and if it will be a good fit. On this topic, I went through Connor Mantz and Clayton's recent Strava workouts to see what kind of shape they are in for Boston. Will they be as good as last year? Finally, I talked World Indoor Champs where we saw an epic race between Kerr and Hocker, a 17 year-old American win the 800, and no Africans medal in ANY EVENT!

#265 Zach Bitter - Switching to High-Carb Fueling, How to Train for Ultra Marathon World Records
Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had on special guest and ultra-running legend Zach Bitter! Zach has claimed world records at the 100 mile and 12 hour events. We heard more about his prolific career on this podcast and how he trains for huge efforts like this. Zach wasn't always a high-carb runner. In fact, in one of his record attempts he only took about 40g of carbs per hour! He is now on the high-carb train and explained that decision. We also got some insight on how he recovers after huge efforts, his thoughts on backyard ultras, and more!

Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the Chris and Scotty had plenty to talk about after eventful weekends!

After some PT work and the glute warming up well on runs - it appears to be nerve related in the low back! Great news considering McKirdy Marathon is in 3 weeks... YIKES!

#253 Ethan Shuley - Running 2:07 at Osaka Marathon to Become 7th Fastest American All-Time
Need a marathon coach? Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys had the legend, Ethan Shuley, back on the podcast after his epic 2:07 run in Osaka last weekend. Ethan first came on the podcast a couple months ago after he ran 2:11 at the Kobe Marathon. At this point, he was still relatively unknown to American distance running fans, but after a 1:01 half-marathon in the build to Osaka, he knew something special was possible! Adopting Japanese racing-style, Ethan went out hard at Osaka, around 2:05 high, 2:06 low pace and was able to hang on for an epic 2:07 marathon. This time puts him 7th on the all-time US list after names like Conner Mantz and Galen Rupp. The crazy part is - he did this while being unsponsored. Now - Ethan has agents and sponsors contacting him and he will be signing a professional contract likely this week. We chatted about what the future holds for him, if he will be racing in the U.S. more now, what potential brands are on the table, if there's a chance he runs Boston, and more!
