0:18.8	Strength Running.com and every week I'll be your personal coach helping you discover how to reach your potential and become the runner that you know you want to be
0:28.2	Thanks for hanging out with me today. Now it's time to get after it.
0:31.8	Hey, what's going on guys? We are rolling through the podcast and welcome to our second episode.
0:38.0	I had a blast talking with Nick Simmons on the last show.
