Summary
We put on our party super-shoes on for this joyful episode! The main discussion was on a new study on the evolution of world-class endurance training. We dig into researcher predictions before providing a bunch of predictions of our own. How will new tools and wearables change the game? What about artificial intelligence? Can AI do what we do as coaches? It probably can. As soon as AI learns to give affirmations of love and belief, we are screwed. The future is going to be so full of excitement, and we can't wait to share our thoughts with you!
Other topics: the benefits of dreaming while you're awake, our big dreams, supersized mid-run fueling strategies for adaptation and performance, Western States follow-ups, the power of working together in races, thoughts on how to use supershoes, running with poles, body acceptance, and hot takes. During hot takes, we may have lost some friends in Florida. Just kidding! We don't have friends in Florida because they were all eaten by pythons.

| 0:30.0 | So it was our baby who went all over you. |
| 0:32.0 | I think it was my fault, probably, because I got really into it. |
| 0:36.0 | And I fed him something that a podcast listener sent, which is an oat butter. |
| 0:40.0 | So it's kind of like peanut butter, but it's made from oats. |
