On today’s episode, we start with our training updates as usual. I have returned from my magical trip to Iceland. I’ll give the inside scoop on all the exciting excursions that I went on! Our main topic for the week is the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Event Guide, which dropped on September 26th. We talk about logistics and also speculate a little about what certain things mean for the new runDisney season. So lace up your shoes, and step into the magic with us!

October has begun, so it’s the perfect day to kick off our Spooky Series with a conversation on bonking. We then go into our tips and tricks to avoid the bonk altogether by fueling properly.
