Summary

We celebrated the 250th recording for this great episode! The main topic was a new study on fatigue resistance. How do you actually improve performance after multiple hours of work? It’s the greatest mystery of endurance, and whoever solves it will have a big advantage. We think that we have some answers for training, fueling, and the nervous system.

And this episode was jam-packed with tons of amazing topics and questions! Other topics: race week reflections before the Big Alta 50k, confidence, showing up authentically for a serious episode 250 discussion, positivity and love in a complex world, fatigue resistance training, OnlyFans sponsors Sabrina Stanley, Nike sponsors Riley Brady, Outside Mag’s revolt, and more.

This one got deep and personal, like we also get with our treadmill.

Thank you so much for your support over 250 episodes. Let’s do another 250! We love you all. HUZZAH!

-David and Megan

0:00.0	Woo! Welcome to the Summerwork All Play podcast. We are so happy to with you today. Happy Tuesday. It's Tuesday. And we're bringing the vibes of episode 250 on this Tuesday. Episode 250. Congrats, Megan. This is so cool.
0:12.7	Oh, high five. Big old high five. It feels like a power number. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. 250. It's kind of remarkable just to think about every single week since we started this,
0:21.2	which was like June 2020, we've showed up. And almost every week, it's been on Tuesday.
0:26.0	We had one week when your heart blew up where it was a Friday. And it's just been such a fun
0:30.3	journey with you from recording directly into our computer on the very first episode, having no
0:35.0	idea what we were doing, and them just being 30 minutes long
0:38.0	to now 90 minute long episodes and maybe the biggest running podcast in the world from those
0:43.4	really humble beginnings. It's just so so cool and we have so much gratitude for everybody
0:48.4	out there listening. Yeah, what a wild ride. I had that reflection that we've podcasted through a lot
0:52.6	of different stuff in life, like showing
0:54.4	up each week through kids, through heart stuff, through different things going on in our own lives.
0:59.9	And it's like, it takes sense.
1:01.2	It's kind of hard to show up through that.
1:02.5	And we've gotten to see so much from the listeners and like everything that you all have been through to.
1:07.1	I mean, that's maybe the coolest part of all of this is it starts just talking into a computer. And over time, you know, now we've upgraded a little bit to where we're talking to a
1:14.3	mic. Upgraded just a little bit. Just a little bit. This mic has fallen on the floor a number of times.
1:19.2	Yeah. And, you know, we're in our bedroom still. But the knowing that there's tens of thousands of people out there that are also going through things. And yeah, we use running as like the fulcrum around which we can talk about it. But hopefully in that
1:33.3	process, we're connecting with you on a slightly deeper level. And so yeah, a lot of listeners are
1:37.9	newer, but we also know there's people that were there from the beginning. And to everybody,
1:41.9	thank you so much. It's just just a fun ride. And we're
1:44.9	hoping for another 250,000 more of these. I thought you're going to stop at 250,000. And I was like,
1:50.8	wait, what? 250,000 might be extending. We might need AI to come and help us live forever in that case.
