    Run Away from Home!
    Sep 30 2024
    Karin is back! While Kyle is in Berlin and Karin prepares for Pikes Peak, it is time to talk about what it takes to run those races away from the lands you know and love. Not every race is created equal and not every course will be like what you've trained on. Karin breaks down the science behind preparing for a race in a climate you may not be familiar with. And yup, she's bringing the science back to The Back of the Pack Podcast!

    Berlin Marathon Preview
    Sep 23 2024
    This is it. It's over. The last weekend of racing before Berlin is in the books. Nothing left to do now but board a plane, fly half way around the world, and run our first Interntational Marathon! This week we'll talk about our two races. The Corporate Challenge 5k (that didn't exactly go as planned) and the second year of the Boulevard 10k. After that, we'll throw a little Berlin Marathon history at you before we leave for the big race. Come on in and have a sit. We have things to discuss!

    Stick Em Up!
    Sep 16 2024
    Everyone Freeze! This is a stick up! Don't anybody move! Thinking Toy Story aren't you? Well you should be. This week we are taking the law into our own hands. We are dealing with an issue that is always on the underbelly of the running world. That being Bandits! Yes, there are bandits among us, but they aren't wearing bandanas and holding up steam locomotives. They are running races that maybe they shouldn't be. So let's talk about these bandits and bring them to justice!

  • Haters Gonna Hate!

    Haters Gonna Hate!
    Sep 9 2024
    We're flying through September! This week is a classic stop for us. We had two races, one of which being the famous and fourteen year old Plaza 10k. Saturday we ran a new race. The Pathway to Parenthood 5k which was a great morning. This week we're going to talk about the hatred in the running world. It's silly, but unfortunately it's a thing. So be ready to look at others, but also take a peak in yourself when it comes to how we can be a better and more supportive running community.

  • Deep Dive: 2018 Chicago Marathon

    Deep Dive: 2018 Chicago Marathon
    Sep 2 2024
    We have a couple of quick race reviews including our 300th race! The bulk of this show is a listener requested deep dive into the Chicago Marathon. We did this race back in 2018. This was the first World Marathon Major we had ever done, so it was a deer in headlights kind of trip for us! We'll talk about everything that we can recall from this trip six years ago. Hopefully it will help out all of our friends going to the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!

    Pick 'em!
    Aug 26 2024
    Another weekend down and a new race in the books. We were at the Summer Sizzle 15k. Yes, a 15k. We're going to break the race down. Then we are going to tackle a listener requested topic. We'll talk about races and how we pick them. How do you pick the races you run. Sometimes it's a no brainer, but sometimes it can actually be due to a number of factors. Let's discuss!
