Summary

You’ve probably heard of the classic game “Would you rather” but we’re giving it a running-themed twist by focusing on topics related to the marathon. There’s a lot that can happen throughout a marathon and you’ll hear our thoughts on many of them from race day struggles to performance breakthroughs.

This is a fun and lighthearted conversation about training topics experienced runners will be familiar with themselves. Some of the questions we’ll ask include:

Would you rather…

  • Win a race or PR
  • Deal with chafing or cramping
  • Never get injured or always fuel your run perfectly
  • Underfuel or manage GI problems the whole race

We’d rather you enjoy hearing this episode so let’s get into it!

Athlete shout-outs:

  • Joel Mendez: For setting a HS record in the mile
  • Rob Watson: For running lifetime PRs in his 50s in the 5k, 8k, ½ Marathon, and Marathon
  • Leslie Pacini: For consistent training over years while balancing a tough and unpredictable work schedule
  • Nicholas Florio: For finally breaking the sub-4 mark in the marathon
