What's up, Motivators? Today's podcast guest is Cody Moore. Fantastic running coach.

He's a run coach with run-free coaching. He's a sports dietician, and he is a phenomenal

dude. He himself is an elite runner who ran in high school, ran in college, and then became a

run-free coach. And you might recognize the name name Run Free because we did a podcast last year with Ryan Hall,

an Olympian, an elite runner who has tried to turn run training on its head.

While Ryan was running, he was like an emaciated little dude, 130-ish kind of pounds, built like a twig.

He was what you would commonly think of when you'd look at a runner.

Now, Ryan Hall is tipping the scales close to 200 pounds.

He is jacked.

He is lifting huge amounts of weight while still running.

And what they're trying to do with run free is coach the whole athlete, not just turn

people into these emaciated weak runners that, yeah, maybe they can put out a fast time,

but their bodies are just completely shot the way Ryan's was at the end of his professional

running career.

They want to be able to let their athletes

have it all, have those elite times while still having their health. And this is what we're trying

to do with motive, with our app. So we actually partnered with Run Free and Cody here ended up

writing all of the run plans that are now in our app, from 5K all the way up to ultra trail runs.

And why we've ended up partnering when you say, well, like, aren't you competitors?

Like, you're an app and they're a one-on-one coach?

Well, we're competitors if you think that we aren't going after the same thing, which is really just making athletes better versions of themselves through the challenge and structure that endurance sports provides.

And if some people want to have a one-on-one coach, I vouch for the people that we partner with, like Cody, like run-free training.
