    Add Cross Country to the Winter Olympics!

    This week on Sunday Dinner, we’re joined by my teammates Ahmed Muhumed and Wesley Banguria Kiptoo who are fresh off the World Cross Country Championships. We start by breaking down their qualifying at the U.S. Championships. They share what it was like competing on the world stage and reflect on representing the USA as immigrants. From elite racing to identity, pressure, and pride—this one goes deep. Also… let’s add cross country to the Winter Olympics already.

    My Dad Won the Pro Bowl

    This week on Sunday Dinner, we recap the two races I ran to close out the year: an unexpected road 10K in El Paso and the USATF Cross Country Championships. Along the way, my dad shares some parallel racing experiences, including the full story of the short-lived NFL Pro-Bowl road racing series that he and his friends single-handedly shut down after its inaugural year. We also dive into the context behind his only US Cross Country title in Portland—the same year I was born. We close out the episode with a plea to add cross country to the Winter Olympics. I loved hearing these stories and hope you enjoy them too. Contact us at hackersundaydinner@gmail.com Music written and recorded by Tim Gibson

    Nomio: Recovery Booster or Lactate Reducer?

    This week on Sunday Dinner, we dive into the science behind Nomio, a broccoli-sprout–derived supplement with promising effects on exercise performance and recovery. We break down research on glucosinolates and their influence on oxidative stress, lactate buildup, and blood-glucose regulation during training. We also explore what these findings could mean for athletes, the importance of cruciferous vegetables in a balanced diet, and our own experiences using Nomio for recovery. Ultimately, we examine the benefits, discuss the risks, and try to answer the big question: How can Nomio be used most effectively to support training?

    Back in Madison: Sunday Dinner with Ben and Alicia

They’re back in Madison and join Tim at the table as we talk about how they support each other in the pursuit of elite running—touching on everything from nutrition, coaching, and training to college memories and the ever-unanswerable question: How many is too many running shoes? Ben and Alicia are simply great people who want to run fast, and this episode captures their energy, humor, and heart.

    Sunday Dinner with Grandma Barb

    This Week on Sunday DinnerThe whole family’s gathering in Albuquerque — including the matriarch herself, Grandma Hacker! She shares stories about growing up without the opportunity to play organized sports, yet still finding creative ways to stay active and challenge herself physically. We dive into how her determination influenced generations of Hackers — from her kids to her grandkids — shaping their own relationships with sports and movement. My mom and siblings jump in to share their athletic beginnings, inspirations, and a few fun family memories along the way. It’s a true Hacker family Sunday dinner, and with about half our listeners being family, we figured you'd enjoy this one.

    Tart Cherry Juice: A Natural Recovery Booster?

    This week on Sunday Dinner, my dad and I dive into the science and potential of tart cherry juice as an ergogenic aid. Tart cherry juice has been getting attention for its possible benefits in muscle recovery, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and even improving sleep quality. With a deep body of research behind it, we explore how it might fit into your training and recovery—especially during intense blocks or in the lead up to or between races. I learned a lot making this episode, and I hope you do too. Music written and recorded by Tim Gibson

    The DeHavens: Debatin', Racin' and Misbehavin'

    This week on Sunday Dinner, we’re joined by another of my dad’s pro training partners, Rod DeHaven, and his son Addison. Both are accomplished runners turned coaches, and they bring valuable insight into the sport—from their own careers and from working with athletes. At one point, Addison takes the reins and grills us on our thoughts about bicarbonate and double threshold training. We also trade college running stories and revisit some epic showdowns between Rod and Tim—and even Rod and Addison. It’s a fun, wide-ranging episode that we had a blast recording. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Contact us at hackersundaydinner@gmail.com Music written and recorded by Tim Gibson
