Chris and I have connected with Run Republic, a great, local running store in Walnut.  We met Joe the founder and his staff, all of them are runners, like Coach Luis who coaches at Mt. SAC and at Run Republic.  The shop is our happy place, maybe the happy place for many runners.  They have great shoes, products, and a lot of support and  training for runners.  Later, we heard from Chris prepared to go to San Diego to run his 2nd Marathon, Rock n Roll San Diego.  He planned to go with this family as his support crew for him and his brother.

Rich and Chris share some basic factors, considerations and concept if you going to start running.  This includes our discussion on a basic training plan and remembering that running is all mental.  

(Season 1 EP. 1) Our first episode where we hear about Chris's first marathon, finishing the Surf City Marathon last February 2023 and his experience, and get into some marathon running tips, some ideas and tips for nutrition for a marathon to sustain yourself on the course, and also touch on race-day strategy, is a topic we tease for next episode.

Here is a promo for our podcast, The Running Bros. Podcast: A Podcast for Runners.
