• First, we dissect the brutal Barkley Marathon 2025 where, shockingly, NO ONE crossed the finish line! What made it so impossible this year?
• Then, we're challenging the "grind" mentality in running. Is pushing harder always better? We discuss the importance of rest, recovery, and listening to your body. It's time to de-influence the pressure to constantly "carry the logs" and embrace a more balanced approach.
• Plus, we briefly touch on hydration strategies for dry vs. humid heat and a few silly tangents!
