| 0:00.0 | If you're measuring backwards to plan forward, which is what you should be doing, and you see yourself on one week doing, you know, a run on one day with a specific load that's 40 minutes, and then next week the plan calls for 45. |
| 0:20.7 | But you missed your Monday run. So it seems |
| 0:24.2 | perfectly logical to add that run onto this one because you got to make it up. So now that |

| 1:40.2 | ultraman or something like it's an Ultraman. |
| 1:44.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:45.3 | We'll tell you what, dude, we're going to be, like, sneaking up on 300 before we know it. |
| 1:50.6 | Oh, I know. |
| 1:51.2 | Which is crazy to kind of think of when you and I started this journey that we'd even get to 300 podcasts, or that'd even have like, you know, people even semi |
