Life in Stride OTQ Boyz

This is episode 1 of a new series Cheston is starting with his coaches at Thomson Training! Cheston recently started working with Jacob Thomson and Thomas Cave as he prepares to go for a sub-2:40 marathon in September. Along with a YouTube series, Cheston will be recording his training conversations with Jacob and Thomas and we will publish them for anyone who is interested!

In this episode, the boys have on special guest Joe McMahan. You have heard us talk about Azoia gels a lot, now you get to hear from the man behind them! We talk about how he got the idea for the product, what it took to launch in February 2024, and his plans going forward. Joe is also a marathoner and just came off of running Boston! We talk about his running journey so far, including how he went from 3:24 in his first marathon to 2:57 in just one month!

In this episode, the boys have on special guest Caroline Gosser. Caroline trains with us in Louisville and is a medical student at UofL. While she has been running for a long time now, she just started her marathoning journey with a stunning time of 2:41 at the Houston Marathon in January. Following that, she had a tough DNF at Carmel Marathon in April due to injury but was able to sort out the issue in time to win the Kentucky Derby Marathon just a couple weeks ago! We discuss all of these races, balancing her crazy schedule, some tools she uses to keep a positive mindset, and more!
