Episode 436: Mark Dickson

We believe you should be watching professional and collegiate running! We not only lay out our case, we also give you our Starter Pack of races on YouTube that will get you hooked on the sport!

We take a deeper look at 6 listener questions + 1 question from Kirk himself! Todays topics include pacing a longer race, heat adjusted paces, anemia in runners, and cross training specifics (amount, type, intensity).

It’s been a minute since we recommend the gear we are currently using! Today we cover trail shoes, socks, shorts, shirt, hats, and watches.

This re-release will give you all the definitions needed to navigate the world of running jargon.

Race stories, poop stories, embarrassing stories, and the lessons learned!

The top 5 worst runs of our entire life, described in full, excruciating detail!
