You're listening to the running public.

From marathoners to mud runners, we all have the same goal.

Get to the finish line faster.

That's right.

This podcast is for you guys, the running public.

All right, not even seven days ago.

We were talking on this very podcast about time trials.

How important it is, we put a call to action out there to do a time

trial. And Kirk, you painted yourself into a corner without discussing it prior. You kind of

just blurt it out, I'll do one this week. And then when we hung up, you're like, shoot,

looks like I have to do a time trial this week. And normally this might be the kind of thing

you let slide, but you would put it out there that other people should hold them accountable you even talked about accountability partners

and you messaged me like minutes later saying hey am i crazy to think that i should just go do this

right now it's going to be rainy and cold tomorrow and it's nice today, but I just did 17 hard two days ago.

And like a good thoughtful coach, I said, you know, after it.

You did, you did.

Yeah, I, you know, I think with a time trial, it's just one of those things you got to rip the band-aid off.

It doesn't matter, your excuses don't matter how you're

feeling that day if you're PMSing if you had a tummy ache if you're like you just got to go

and do it and so after our call on we recorded the podcast for tuesday on monday and literally

after we hung up i was like bracken i think i'm on a time trial. And I followed through with the

accountability piece. I needed a little help. I needed that push to go out and do it. So I did it.
