New York Marathon is this weekend, and while I'm excited for everyone racing and to watch the pros, I'm bummed that I won't be there myself.

the weather is autumn crisp. weekend festivities are starting.

I make some predictions about Chicago Marathon

For those of you getting ready for the Chicago Marathon, it's starting to turn into fall here. Kind of.boxes unboxed: GoPro Max 2 360 camera

I forgot to go live last Thursday. Everything is fine. I just lost track of days and time (I had two other interviews scheduled for Thursday and I was trying to also get a shoe review video up).

During this live, I had some technical difficultes during this live. but I come back eventually.

boxes unboxed: Adidas Boston 13Salomon ACS + OG and Salomon pants

No unboxings today, but we talked about Worlds, the heat of the Berlin Marathon, and some changes I'd like to make in terms of races I want to cover in the future.

Also, we go over some Boston cutoff predictions

I went to Tokyo to watch the World Championships Marathons (and some track and field). AMA(yes, it was hot)

I ran the Sydney Marathon 2025. AMA.

Also, I unbox a package to prepare for my next international trip.

checking out the new Vomero Plus. also, unboxing some new gels from The Feed

I tried to bring the new dog to the livestream. It went reasonably well for a dog that is very energetic and squirmy.

We talk a lot about Megabalst and Sonicblast, and I tried on some new sunglasses

summer is wrapping up in the suburbs, but there's still so much summer heat left. also, we unbox some apparel from Korsa and shoes from On and Adidas.

so much track action to discuss, and I taste the Strawberry protein shake that we unboxed last week

it's a heat wave in the midwest. that can only mean one thing. corn sweat.

plus, some unboxings

got some new shoes to unbox. One of them is still kind of under embargo I guess.

But there was also a live-reaction to new doping control news!

Trying to get over my aversion to racing by racing

I need to take a new approach to this heat. What I've been doing isn't working. also, I got a lot of shoes to unbox. I think none of them are under embargo

I think I'm developing a phobia of 5ks, so I tried to hop in a local 5k when I was at my in-laws in Iowa. It didn't quite work out.

also, apologies for the audio issues at the beginning. I fix it after a short while

got some new electrolyte produts to try. some are of the Eat Me variety. Others as Drink Me.

but by the end, I get pretty wired
