Welcome to the running public with Brack and Crocker and Kirk DeWint.

Whether you are a brand new runner or you already have a great mustache.

We're here to help you increase your running knowledge and present it at a practical level.

This is the running public.

When you're ready to take your training or racing to the next level, go to the running

public.com.

We have both monthly subscription training plans,

1999 a month, and Bracken and I both offer one-on-one customized coaching. Again, go to

the running public.com and check out our offerings. We have a buggy recording studio today,

ladies and gentlemen. The first time we tried entering the studio today, it just entirely froze my computer,

locked everything down.

Even control alt delete didn't solve it.

That's when you know.

You had unplug it, right?

The hard reset?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So now I just went to click record and I had to click it three times.

It wasn't clicking.

So my greatest fear always is that we record an entire episode and it's not usable. I think we did that once. We have for sure one with a guest that's just not usable. We never released it. It was a great episode too with that young kid. And I want to have him back on. It was such a good episode. I feel bad. So we will have to have him back on, but it was just entirely unusable. Do you remember that one time we were both, like, having a bad, like, podcast hosting day? And we got done with the episode and we're like, oh, we didn't really nail it,

but we'll just let it go. And then we came together that next day. Like, we can't put that out. We need to re-record this and do a better job because we were both terrible. Yeah. You remember that? A year and a half, two years ago. And so we just threw that one in the garbage and tried again. Yeah, we talked that evening and we're like, should we do this?

It's fine. I'll sit on it. I'll edit it tomorrow and I started going through it. I was like, yeah, I don't like this. You can have, one host can have a bad day. It's cool. One host can carry the show. Somebody's sick or extra tired. but you have two hosts that are just off the game in one day and it's not going to be good. Yeah. We have days where you'll come on or I'll come on and be like, listen, I am, I'm struggling today. Like, I don't, every time I go to talk today, people have those days. Like, you just don't find your words. you constantly like ah that I can't you can't have both people have that
