0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to Redirected. I'm Andrew East and if you tuned in last week,
0:10.8	you saw that I did an episode with Sidel Curry where we were at this event called the ASIC's
0:15.2	Eternal Run out in Salt Lake City, Utah and rarely have I ever gotten the feedback or the response
0:21.8	that I did talking about that Eternal Run and people wanting to learn more about it. So I thought
0:26.1	I'd sit down with you guys and do an entire episode dedicated to sharing what the event was all
0:31.6	about and my experience with it. So if you guys are new here before we get started, go ahead and
0:35.9	hit the subscribe button and give this show a rating and review that really helps us out and I also
0:40.9	need to give a big shout out to ASICs who put on this entire event and the purpose was to launch
0:46.6	and test their new shoe called the ASIC's Glide Ride which you can find out more about and get
0:51.2	your own pair. Find that in the show notes down below. So let me set the stage for you here.

1:11.8	a benchmark test, right? What the test was was an interval test that was 15 minutes total and you
1:19.2	were supposed to run three minutes at a 10% intensity, take a one minute break, three minutes at a
1:28.8	30% intensity, take a one minute break, three minutes at a 50% intensity, one minute break,
1:34.4	70% one minute break and 90% intensity. All right, so that whole test takes 15 minutes and I had to
1:41.2	do it outside on a track that measured your distance and your heart rate apparently and they were
1:46.0	going to use this and constructing this competition that again we knew nothing about. So Sean and I
1:52.8	hop on a plane and we go out to Salt Lake City and I had never felt the competitive thrill or the
1:59.6	anxiety as much as I had felt during the lead up to that competition. I didn't know what I was doing.
2:07.4	I felt like my body was ready but I wasn't sure and when we got to the hotel out in Salt Lake City,
