    Rory Linkletter on chasing failure in workouts, not results

    This episode is supported by Charm City Run. Learn more and shop at https://www.charmcityrun.com/ Rory Linkletter is a professional marathoner for Puma, a coach at Let's Tango, and a co-host of the Out & Back podcast. He talks about how his relationship with nerves has changed since college, why he thinks the pressure of competition gets more out of an athlete than chasing a specific time, and why he deliberately seeks failure in workouts as part of how he improves. He and Nicky get into the mental gap between chasing paces and racing people, why he still sprints twice a week even as a marathoner, and the rock-bottom stretch in 2021 that led him to leave his sponsor and rebuild his career under Ryan Hall. Rory also shares his current biggest weakness as an athlete (the longest of long runs), what he's chasing next in Valencia and Copenhagen, and where he sees himself eventually moving into ultra trail racing.

    PT with JT: solving running injuries before they start

    This podcast is presented by Charm City Run. Shop online and find a store near you: https://www.charmcityrun.com Jacob Travis, known online as PT with JT, is a physical therapist in Nashville with almost 70,000 Instagram followers. He talks about how a run club turned him from a solo gym guy into someone who found community through running, and how that shift has bled into a deeper look at faith and why he thinks about the body as something designed on purpose. He and Nicky get into training for their upcoming Indianapolis marathons (his goal: a sub-2:50 and a Boston qualifier), the biggest mistake he made as a new runner, and what he actually tells patients who try to self-diagnose shin splints or plantar fasciitis with ChatGPT. He also breaks down why most runners don't need to change their running form at all, and the one piece of advice almost nobody follows even though it matters more than anything else he prescribes.

    The guy behind Semi-Rad, Brendan Leonard

    This episode is presented by Charm City Run. See all that they are about at https://www.charmcityrun.comBrendan Leonard, known online as Semi-Rad, is a writer and illustrator who spent years writing for climbing and outdoor magazines before building his own audience through a weekly newsletter. He talks about how he stumbled into illustration by drawing a pie chart on a napkin, getting sober in his early twenties, and trading rock climbing for ultrarunning after witnessing a serious climbing accident. He and Nicky get into why he doesn't listen to anything on his runs, the philosophy of running as a way to acquire a void rather than escape into one, and why he thinks most of the value in running has nothing to do with the races themselves. Brendan also shares what he's training for next: a 24-hour race two miles from his house that plays to every weakness he has.

    How fast can a human run 100 miles? with Zach Bitter

    Zach Bitter holds the American record for the 100 mile, a mark he first set in 2013 and briefly held as a world record in 2019. He talks about the question that's kept him hooked on the distance for over a decade: how fast can a human run 100 miles when everything is optimized for it. He and Nicky get into his approach to training intensity, why he's opened up to cross training on the bike, and the mental trick of knowing when to zoom in on a single hard interval versus zooming out to see the whole training block. Zach also shares the story of the blood clot he discovered two days before a hundred miler this year, how close it came to becoming a medical emergency, and what recovery has looked like since. Enjoy this conversation with Zach!
