    Ep. 130 – Atlanta Marathon Weekend Drama

    In this episode, we touch on the question that has been causing the running world to lose its minds for the past 24-48 hours: What actually happened at the Atlanta Publix Half-Marathon Championship? We discuss the race, why this always seems to happen in Atlanta, share some insider knowledge into the drama, what is happening next and how this might just change the culture of running forever. We also touch on our favorite local gravel race and the rescheduling of UTMB. **Note: After recording this podcast, we learned from an official statement put out by Atlanta Track Club, that an APD officer working the race-course was struck by a motorvehicle and taken to Grady, which led to the confusion during the women's pro race. The officer was released the same day and is expected to be okay.

    Ep. 129 – UTMB Mexico Fiasco, the Spirit of Trail Running, and The Cycle of Business

    A one on one from the Studio with Nikki and Chad where they catch us up on the drama in Mexico, how UTMB needs communication help, picking alternative birthdays, Alysa Liu stole the show at the Olympics, skimo’s debut, USA hockey wins gold in arguably one of the greatest games ever, and how you don’t get many opportunities in life to accomplish things together as a team. They also chat about the spirit of trail running, how gravel racing created a whole new segment which inevitably led to more professionalism, the introduction of real pro teams, why drug testing protocols are a problem for the current model of gravel racing. They also get into running with the introduction of gravel shoes as a thing, drama with the Satisfy founder, Ironman banned Meta Oakley glasses, Polymarket is not into cycling, but their partnership with Substack is confusing, and the AI doom loop. On a positive note, Begonia and Forrest Gump are two great movies on the opposite end of the spectrum (no pun intended).

    Ep. 128 – Santa Vall race report with Michael Garrison

    This week’s special episode is a post-race analysis of Santa Vall, where Michael started the season with a Top 5 finish, beating most of the world's top gravel racers in the process. In the race, he debuted the new Basso Palta 3 and unreleased Tune gravel wheelset (not a bad debut if we say so ourselves). We chat about how gravel is becoming more like road racing, what it’s like racing against guys you watched as a kid, comparing Europe vs US racing (it’s way more chaotic and requires more skill), and how growing up in Atlanta prepares you for that chaos. We discuss how CARBS Fuel has completely changed his nutrition strategy and how all our partners are the best at what they do. Lastly, we talk through what it takes to build a sustainable program: sticking to it and lots of trust.

    EP. 127 – The Bad Bunny Super Bowl, Michael Garrison at Casa Basso

    This episode finds Nikki and Chad in the Studio after a huge week and a day behind on the pod. They chat about how Bad Bunny won the Super Bowl, whether people actually like Kid Rock, the pro team launch week, the Culture of Speed campaigns, how bad things can lead to good things, (from Chad’s broken bones), and how Nikki’s feeling positive about 2026 the year of the Fire Horse. They check in with Michael at Casa Basso in Girona, the new Palta III, new Tune wheels, and what tires he’s running (he has no idea). They also get into the diabolical strategy of Pop Up Bagels in the ATL, why welcoming competition is the answer, looking a gift horse in the mouth, getting bricked up and locked in, and the fact that Tylenol simply does not work.

It’s all about remembering to appreciate the special moments and experiences you have when you have them. Enjoy.

    Ep. 124 - Peta Mullens at the Tour Down Under

    Nikki and Chad are in the Studio on MLK Day, where we get an update on why you should never wear rings while trail running. Yikes. They call recurring guest Peta Mullens to discuss why “Dry January” is out and “Jealous January” is in. She’s there working commentary for the Tour Down Under, so they get the low down on the 30-minute time zone of Adelaide, what it’s like talking to someone from the future, how it’s actually the Tour of Adelaide, and why it’s the favorite race of the year for World Tour pros. They talk brand activations, local punters, hands-and-knees, wine tasting as a job, racing RADL GRVL, and a little grog at weddings never hurt anyone. They also chat about whether Dylan Johnson is enjoying Australia, a breakdown of the 3-on-1 finale of the women’s race, how women’s racing is so unpredictable, and how the TDU provides opportunities for new riders. Peta gives insights on how she prepares for the commentating job (podcasts!), her plans for 2026, coming back to the US, trail racing, why wearing gloves while running isn’t cool, her kit design preview, chasing Summer, how to stay in Australia for 6 months, bakery recommendations, why to watch out for Kangaroos, and Dylan’s delusional confidence regarding surfing and driving a stick. As always with Peta, this one is a wild ride. Everywhere you get your pods.
