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. Kirk, as I pushed record here, I've realized

we have absolutely done this exact topic before. We did it as a lead-in to a,

I think a Spartan World Championship several years ago when there was more emphasis on the sport of

obstacle course racing. But now we're doing it again as master's athletes who hopefully have a little bit more perspective on it than even we did then.

You're not a master's athlete.

It depends who you ask.

Do you ask the road running association, the trail running, or track and field?

Are there, okay, so track and field 35 and above, I believe? I think it's 35. I think it's 35, which is weird. Also, like, yeah, but then they call it a, I think it's not politically correct anymore, but it's like a geriatric pregnancy. If you're like a woman who gets pregnant after 35, that seems a little harsh labeling. What's the other ones?

What's, is there, is there, I think they're all 40.

Except for track and field.

Okay.

So you're only a master's athlete in track and field as of today?

And I have competed on the track as a master's athlete at 37, I think.

37 I ran an 800 meter dash, as they would call it in high school
