Episode notes

The chapter discusses the experiences of the speakers during a week leading up to the marathon, including running with strangers, recording a workout vlog, attending a comedy show, and hanging out with friends. They mention various people they met and highlight the enthusiasm and dedication of runners. The chapter concludes with a comparison between Austin and New York and the speaker's feeling of not getting much done despite being busy.

Zach Pogrob and I ran our first marathon on December 2, 2023 (St. Jude's Memphis Marathon). This was a real conversation we'd have if the mics were off.

We spoke about the entire week we spent together, the run club, pre-race, during-race, and post-race.

We also were lucky to be randomly joined by Hunter Weiss (https://www.instagram.com/hunter_weiss), for about 1 hour of this podcast, who filled us in on marathon training tips, his preparation for his next race, and what it was like to track our performances in Memphis.

Zach's time: 3:16:30

My time: 3:39:22

We're excited to build on this in 2024 - starting with the Austin Marathon on February 18. We hope you'll join us there.
