On this episode, the boys had on special guest Gabi Rooker! Gabi is a 2:24 marathoner and just finished 9th at the Chicago Marathon.
Gabi had a unique route to professional running. She was a NCAA champion gymnast, and her first marathon was in 2021, where she ran a 2:56 at Grandma's Marathon.
In 2022, also at Grandma's, she ran 2:34 and qualified for the Olympic Trials. In 2023, she ran 2:24 at Chicago and ended up signing a Nike contract before the 2024 Olympic Trials.
We chatted about Gabi's quick rise in the professional ranks, her build to Chicago and the race itself, and what's next for her!
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Dr. Bill Evans! Dr. E has a PhD in Exercise Physiology and is a Professor of Exercise Science.
We found his Instagram page and instantly became hooked. He uses research studies and scholarly articles to provide very helpful and practical running advice. For example: on this episode we talked about what threshold and VO2 max pace are, how competition can teach your brain to allow your body to dig deeper than you would solo, how to fix chronic achilles issues, and more!
There were several topics we didn't hit on that we wanted to - we will have Dr. E back on soon! Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys recapped Indianapolis Monumental Marathon weekend! What an amazing weekend it was - we are all filled with so much gratitude. Being at a marathon with all our friends and so much of the Life In Stride team was truly special. The running community is filled with so many inspiring and positive individuals.
We talked about the shakeout (thank you for coming and thank you Swiftwick, what an awesome turnout!), team dinner, race morning, the race itself, post-race, and more!
Danny had some stomach issues and looking back maybe went out a touch too hot the first half and finished with a 2:48. Him and Chris shared some really fun miles together through the first half of the race! Chris paced the 2:40 group to the finish and is feeling good about his fitness going into Houston Marathon. Scotty was the best spectator on course by far - stay tuned for more of that content.
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Natosha Rogers! Natosha just came off an amazing Chicago Marathon, where she ran a PR of 2:23 and was the top American woman!
Most of Natosha's running career has been on the track - this is just her 3rd marathon. After a tough debut at the 2024 Trials, she has had back-to-back successful marathons! We talked about her build, coaching change and the race itself.
Natosha has a slightly different training method than others where she uses a lot of cross-training, and she also makes sure she lives a balanced life where she finds time to do other things she enjoys outside of running. This was a really fun episode, we will definitely have Natosha back soon!

On this episode, the boys had our good friend Kallup McCoy on to talk about his run from San Diego to North Carolina for his non-profit RezHOPE! We had him on the pod prior to this, and he came back with some amazing stories to tell from the road! There were some major highs, lows, and really funny moments too.
Kallup is now training for a sub-2:32 marathon and also has his eyes on a major ultra record after, stay tuned for which one!
If you aren't familiar with Kallup, make sure you check out our first ever pod with him, published on July 19th, 2024.

On this episode, Chris and guest host Ben Felton recapped the women's and men's NYC Marathon elite field races!
On the women's side, we saw a legendary duel between rivals Sharon Lokedi and Hellen Obiri through Central Park - where Hellen came out on top with a quick last couple kilometers! She not only won the race, but set the course record and was the first woman under 2:20 in NYC Marathon history.
American Fiona O'Keeffe ran a great race, putting herself in it in the late stages of the race to finish 4th overall and top American.
On the men's side, we saw an epic battle between Benson Kipruto and Alexander Mutiso, where Mutiso nearly caught Kipruto at the line to steal the race! Kipruto ended up hanging on to win in 2:08.
Brit Patrick Dever had an outstanding performance in 4th, while surprise American Joel Reichow got top American honors in 6th in 2:09. A couple other notable Americans we chatted about were Charles Hicks in 7th and Joe Klecker in 10th!
At the beginning of the episode we also gave some training updates for ourselves (Chris is trying to get Ben to run Houston Marathon with him).
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had back on the man, the myth, the legend: Hugo Fry. Hugo has been a BUSY man! He is currently in Austin, TX getting ready to do the overnight BPN 50 miler (he has a very good shot at winning the race!).
Hugo also told us he has gone full-time doing content as he has had continued success on socials! If you don't follow him on Instagram, he is one of the funniest accounts you will find, link below. He recently ran 2:22 at the Berlin Marathon and also won a 5-day ultramarathon stage race in the Jordan desert.
We joke that Hugo could be our 4th co-host, episodes with him are more like banter with the boys than interviews! There is some hilarious conversation in here about his experience in Austin, TX compared to living in London.
Enjoy!

These episodes are way too fun. Anyone opposed to us doing this every time? Lol. Scotty and Chris answer "Ask Me Anything" questions from our Instagram and our LIS athletes about all things running, and some non-running topics as well.
We talked marathon training and the best way to pace a marathon, running form, workouts we like, reflected on how far we have come, and even talked some Truett Hanes and our sweet and salty choices at a gas station??
Enjoy!

On this episode, Chris previews the women's and men's elite fields for the NYC Marathon this Sunday!
New York is such a fun race to watch because it is a hilly course with no pacers. On top of that, we have two legendary fields on each side here, featuring names like Eliud Kipchoge and Sifan Hassan! We are in store for some great race action this Sunday!
I also briefly touched on the drama with Iowa State's XC team on this episode at the end.

On this episode, the boys had back on special guest Dakotah Popehn! Dakotah just finished top-10 at the Chicago Marathon and 2nd American woman with a PR of 2:24.
Her training block indicated the best fitness of her life and potential sub-2:20 marathon shape. Although the stars didn't align in Chicago, Dakotah is extremely motivated to continue pushing for fast times and a World Marathon Major podium one day.
We broke down Dakotah's training block, race, fueling, and more on this episode. It was really insightful and interesting to hear about some behind the scenes things from her!
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys chatted a lot about tapering. Scotty wants to change some things up about his tapers going forward before marathons, and Danny explained how he likes to taper leading into his peak race of Indianapolis Marathon in 2 weeks.
We talked about Danny's fitness going into Indy, whether or not the 5-4-3-2-1 long run is the best for peak long runs or not, and Strieg confirmed if he is pacing Danny at Indy live on the pod!

On this episode, we had special guest and newly minted 2:23 marathoner Ben Felton on! One week ago, Ben ran a perfectly executed marathon in Chicago, running a slight negative split, to run his first marathon PR in 2 years. After running 2:24 at Boston in 2023, Ben dealt with some adversity, including a stress fracture and brutal heat at the 2025 London Marathon, before finally having this special day in Chicago!
We broke down his training block, the entire Chicago weekend, his next race plans, and more! At the end, we also chatted about advice he has for someone who wants to do content full-time.
This was a really fun episode, please consider following Ben on his socials below if you don't already!

On this episode, Chris and guest host Jacob Thomson broke down the Chicago Marathon elite field races. Jacob paced top American female Natosha Rogers from start to finish, so his insight from that experience, having many friends in the elite field, and being a 2:11 man himself was really great on this episode.
We broke down the top finishers from the men's and women's races but largely focused on how the Americans fared as well.
At the end, we had a few minutes to talk about Jacob's trying as he gears us for the US Marathon Champs at CIM, where he hopes to break 2:10 in the marathon.
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys heard Scotty's final thoughts going into the Chicago Marathon. He dropped some great taper advice and gave his mindset for race day. He is healthy, fit, and excited to toe the line!
Danny just raced a half-marathon and snagged a PR but didn't run quite what he wanted on a hot day and hilly course. He is still focused on trying to break 2:40 at the Indy Marathon here in a few weeks!

On this episode, the boys had Rory Linkletter back on for his final thoughts leading into the Chicago Marathon this weekend. The Canadian and North American Marathon record was set by legend Cam Levins and sits at 2:05:36. We do a deep dive into Rory's training block, which he rated a 9/10, where he thinks he has found the fitness to go after this time.We also chatted about competing against Connor Mantz, and Rory told us what would be going through his head if him and Mantz were together with a mile to go. They will likely be running a large portion of this race together considering the American record is only 2 seconds slower than the Canadian record. If you weren't excited for Chicago yet, this episode will get you there.

On this episode, the boys had on our good friend Corbin Harris! Corbin is one of the best marathoners in Kentucky history, with times of 2:21 and 66 minutes in the half. If you remember the KDF Half-Marathon this past year where Strieg got 3rd, Corbin was 45 seconds up the road winning the race!
Unfortunately Corbin had to pull out of Chicago at the last second due to a stress fracture in his foot, but he is planning on running the Marathon Project in December. We chatted about his history with injuries and how he handles those mentally.
We also chatted about what he is doing to go all in and try to qualify for the Olympic Trials Marathon. We love when someone is finding time to make it happen between the hours of work and life!
Enjoy!

On this episode, Chris previewed the elite field for the Chicago Marathon!
On the women's side, we have a strong Ethiopian and Kenyan contingent leading the field, with 5 women sub-2:20. Last year's winner set the world record with a 2:09, but was subsequently banned for a doping violation. Leading the Americans is Olympian Dakota Popehn, hoping to break her 2:24 PR and run in the low 2:20s!
On the men's side, we have the winner of the last Chicago Marathon and Boston Marathon leading the way, John Korir, and he wants to run FAST! World record fast? We will see! Pushing him will be half-marathon world record holder Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda.
And of course - we have Connor Mantz and Rory Linkletter trying to run under the North American record of 2:05:36. Also - Galen Rupp's last race potentially? We will see!
So many fun storylines this year, hope you enjoy the preview!

On this episode, the boys had to make a quick pivot to a banter conversation and the plane was landed successfully. We chatted about how Scotty is going to pace Chicago, Danny's upcoming half where he hopes to break 1:16, and Chris's injury update.
At the end - Chris and Scotty gave some marriage advice because sometimes running podcasts give marriage advice, you know?
Enjoy!
