Welcome to the running public with Brack and Crocker and Kirk DeWint.

It's Tuesday, folks, and you know what that means, Training Tuesday.

We are going to take every rabbit hole, follow tangents, use useless metaphors, get lost in the weeds.

This is Training Tuesday.

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.

Bracken, I got to tell you something that's going to make your day while simultaneously

ruining mine. Okay. I'm selfish, so I accept that. I'm being facetious about it ruining my day.

Oh, that's not as far as far as for me. I'm not being facetious about it making yours.

So I've had a lot of athletes I work with recently have babies. It seems to be

baby having season. So baby making season, I don't know, nine months ago. And an athlete I've worked

with and his partner, Jonathan, I've worked with him for years. And Rachel, who I've worked with

for maybe the last year or so, a little more than, had a baby together, which is years. And Rachel, who I've worked with for maybe the last year or so, a little more

then, had a baby together, which is great and exciting. I work with both of them. And they named

the young man Bracken. No. Yes. Okay. So you might be getting an email from him soon,

looking to switch coaches. I don't know. Okay. I accept. Are you flattered? How do you feel about that? It's just sound weird. It's not the first baby I've had named Bracken. Knock it off. I think we're up on like four or five. Shush. Oh, so this is like common. Nobody's, I've heard nobody named their kid Kirk.

It's not common.

But people name their kids Kirk normally.

It just happens.

They don't think to tell you about it.
