All right, everybody, you know I like the hydrate.

I like the energy plus protein. I like their bars. I like the You Can Edge. It's their newest product and there's some new things coming out with it. So stay tuned. But why do I like You Can's Edge? Well, it's their version of an energy gel, but it's not like the typical sugary gels. It's longer lasting. One pouch

lasts for an hour of exercise, and it digests easily. Yes, I said it. It digests easily because it has

zero sugar. So guess what? We don't have to stop at every single porta potty. That is a key when

you're doing hard workouts, hard long runs, and racing. And also, I love the fact that some of our top U.S. marathoners are using it. Emily Sisson, Emma Bates, Sarah Hall, and Kierdemato. If they can use it, I think we can as well. So check out all my favorites at you can.com. slash carry.

Hi, I'm Olympic, Carrie, Telethsen, and welcome welcome to the SeaTolly Run podcast.

Today, James McCurdy and Heather Knight Peck are on the show and I had a blast chatting with these two.

James is the head coach and founder of McCurdy trained.

And Heather is a coach with McCurdy trained, but they are co-race directors at the Backlines McCurdy Micromarathon.

In this episode, we hear all about the backline McCurdy Micromarathon.

We hear how they decided to put this race on, why they decided to put this race on,

how it produced 33 more Olympic trial qualifiers in that one race,

why it's so important to have these small but mighty races, hearing about

the pacers, the water bottles stops, the volunteers, the spectators, everything. But the best part

about it is hearing what the athletes had to say. And I loved that Heather read some of those

comments to us. The other thing

that's really cool is hearing how these two had a hand and helping someone go for a goal. Whether

they achieved it or not, it's pretty powerful thing. So let's hear from them. And let's get after it.

All right, James McCurdy and Heather Knightpack.
