Hi! Just listen to the Mike couch episode! I’m Christian! It was an awesome episode and hearing mikes thoughts on the race and his experience guiding me for those last 14 miles! Virginia Beach and it’s community are amazing! Best marathon trip I’ve been on! That race wasn’t a PR attempt but it was a race I needed for my 55 mile race in May! This race is a big part of that goal and everyone who helped me at Virginia Beach! Thank you again!

Phenomenal Energy!

This is such a fun and energetic PodCast that centers on the running scene in Hampton Roads, VA. Andrew does a great job of digging into the spirit of the running community and helps dissect what keeps people engaged and committed through their running journey. Always excited for a new episode to launch!
