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.

She's a little rusty in the cold here, Kirk.

It's like trying to start up my truck.

Yeah, it took it like five seconds to actually start recording after you click the button. How cold is

it in your room? My goodness. Oh, it's probably a full, like 60 in here. Livable. Yeah.

Survivable. I have shoes on and a sweatshirt on and pants on.

I'm glad you're in pants. Guess what shoes I'm wearing? Oh, God. Is it a pair of running shoes? It is. Okay. So for those who don't know, I have the shoe wall behind me, but I have all the other shoes that could be on the shoe wall at this point of my life, there's two partially empty shelves on either

side of me and the rest are strewn around my feet like servants. You're in the VJ Max.

I am not. What do you wear? The Solomon S Lab Pulsar soft grounds. To just record it and you're

just wearing that shoe. They feel so nice. They have a booty upper. And I put those on and it's like putting on my cross-country spikes in high school. And I just feel like, I'm a runner, Kirk. I want to go right. I put them on and I want to race. What is a booty, a booty upper? Like booty, not booty. What is that? I'll pick one up that has one. All right. I'm going to learn something today. Do I have another one? It's that knit kind of upper that wraps around your foot rather than having a tongue separate. It's not even a gusseted tongue. It's one full piece that just wraps around you. Like a booty.

A little like your grandma would knit you in booties. Oh yeah. She knitted me those all the time back in the day. I know what you mean. My grandma's famous for it. Uh, guys, want to know what's

funny is so, uh, Bracken sent me a link last week to a sweet Nike Alpha Fly 3 deal by some

outdoor store in Montana. And it was legit.

Nike Alpha Fly 3 normally, what, 270? You got yours for 149. 147 pre-shipping and tax.

147. So Brack and Shoes came in the mail today, his Nike Alpha Flies.

And now we know why they were discounted.
