Summary
We had a pepperoni pizza foodgasm before talking about dreaming big in athletics and life, the delightful inevitability of failure, an amazing new study on the training of world-class distance runners, easy running guidelines, tapers, and empathy. Plus asides on BOTH fox mating and raptor mating, so things are getting freaky in the animal kingdom. The episode ends with the most wonderful, life-affirming Listener Corner email ever, so stay tuned for that. We love you all! WOOHOO!

| 0:00.0 | We do. Welcome to the Summer Golfway by Kess. We are so happy to be with you today. |
| 0:04.3 | Happy Tuesday. It's Tuesday. |
| 0:05.9 | Addy Dog right now is feeling that Tuesday magic. We just reflected on the fact I am Addy's |
| 0:10.9 | hyploman before this by Kess. I get her so riled up that you can probably hear her breathing |
| 0:15.9 | in the background right now. It's like I think those are love breaths. That's kind of her |
| 0:21.5 | mating call almost as it relates to like belly rubs. So what are you saying to Addy before |
| 0:26.4 | the podcast? Can you impersonate it for the listeners? We got a little bit of it on the |
| 0:29.2 | preview but not enough I think to fully articulate your hype swag. It's a lot of high pitch like |
| 0:35.5 | I love you. I love you. It's go time. It's go time. It's go time. And I don't know if that's |
| 0:40.4 | as much for her or if it's for me. But it's really the pump up energy I need. And then Addy's breath |
| 0:45.5 | confirmation, her like deep breathing. I'm like, Addy, we're sharing the same vibes. |
| 0:50.0 | Yeah. So Addy is a grizzled veteran of the dog profession at 9.5 years. But she's definitely |
| 0:55.2 | having a renaissance, a resurgence. It is extremely motivating for me in my own athletic life. |
| 1:00.2 | One, I think is the podcast and the sense that every single Tuesday she gets so freaking |
| 1:05.8 | hyped probably because you've conditioned her. So as soon as I grab the computer or the mic, |
| 1:10.1 | she freaks out sprints upstairs as fast as she can and just sits there and breathing heavily |
| 1:15.2 | waiting for Megan. It's pretty intense. I thought you were going to say that she's listening |
| 1:18.8 | to our training theory and is fully absorbing the rationale behind strides and eating enough always |
| 1:24.0 | and some of our key foundations of the swap podcast because I'm certain she's listening between |
| 1:28.3 | spursals and I hope it's helping. Well, I think that's part of it. But speaking of the training |
| 1:32.9 | theory, that's the second part that I want to mention with Addy is she is running better than she |
| 1:36.8 | ever has. And I think it's because your speeds have perfectly overlapped. So during all of your |
