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. Well, DJ, you're the man of the hour,

but now I have to ask. Bracken, how did you crack two ribs? How do you think? What should I not do

that I do? What should you not do that you? Oh, basketball. Basketball. Basketball. Dangerous sport, man.

Yeah. You look like you're in the Colorado mountains. Yeah, I'm next to them. Kind of in them,

you know, on the foothills here. What is the altitude you live at?

6,600 feet, 6,700 feet at the house, I think.

Is that the sweet spot?

What's the sweet spot do you think, fellas, to live?

That's a great question.

I do think around this altitude is pretty great depending on what you're doing, you know.

I feel like I'm high enough or I'm getting really good altitude adaptations,

but I can still put in some really good high-intensity work,

especially I just broke four years of Lividendango.

So I think I've hopefully broken past the acclimatization phase.
