Summary
We listened to some very, VERY fun audio recordings before a joyous episode on growth and training theory! The main discussion is on Eliud Kipchoge's training, using a mix of sources to come up with 6 lessons for everyone. Zone 1 easy running, controlled workouts around 80% capacity, high (but not wild) volume, long runs with tempo, a growth lifestyle, and so much more! We also chatted about recent marathon breakthroughs for 40+ athletes, and the exciting implications for growth with age in the sport. Finally, we analyzed why running is a POWER SPORT, and how that incentivizes finding our own personal versions of "strong" in the journey. Plus OCR world champion training, horoscopes, the neuroscience of food, the magic of Coke, and tons of other cool topics!

| 0:04.6 | Happy Tuesday. It's Tuesday. |
| 0:06.4 | Freaking Tuesday and our day is young and it's good. |
| 0:10.4 | I have recently had this realization that if there's anything important that's going |
| 0:13.8 | to happen in life, it has to happen between the hours of 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. |
| 0:18.2 | We're both really mourning people. It's actually kind of wonderful that we overlap at this |
| 0:21.9 | time because for me at least my brain is really only good at 6 a.m. or earlier and after |
| 0:28.2 | that it's just a slowed decay. I'm like one of those old waste dumps for a nuclear |
| 0:33.1 | site. It's just over time. It just goes down and down and down. |
| 0:36.7 | I'm like a marathoner. I feel like I'm a positive split marathoner. |
| 0:40.0 | Every single day I go out and I'm like I'm ready. I'm going to PR this day. I'm going |
| 0:44.1 | to crush. And by 3 p.m. I'm like all hope is lost. |
| 0:48.0 | Yeah. Your mild 20 is 2.30 p.m. when we both just bonk hard core. |
| 0:52.1 | We hit the wall. |
| 0:53.1 | Yeah. It's so bad. My brain just can't conceive of ideas at that time. So thankfully right |
| 0:57.4 | now what time we got? We got 7 10 a.m. This is just a power hour. I am so excited to |
| 1:02.7 | chat with you Megan. |
| 1:03.7 | I am so pumped and we just primed. This is the first time I've had Diet Coke in a long |
| 1:08.1 | long time. |
| 1:09.1 | Oh my god. |
| 1:10.1 | And I just had some before the podcast and the hype is real. |
