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.

Bracken, I want to inform you how I'm feeling.

Okay. Emotions? Well, yeah, I guess that goes hand in hand, maybe, with physical. You've told me feelings don't matter as a runner. Okay, then. So I don't mean my emotional feelings, no. Okay. So I've never been more wrecked in my life. And this is, I have a point to this, so hopefully this is a learning for listeners. I have never been more wrecked from an event for whatever reason, the right circumstances in this 50K a week and a half ago got me good.

Right.

And I worked hard and I had paid paid for it dearly.

I never had like such a more shattered three days afterwards.

I was okay in life, but like functioning wise, every muscle in my, below my hips was not working well.

Okay.

So before you go even further, what's your second worst?

What was worst up until this point?

Oh, the only other worst I can think of that even comes close to this is my first

time going to Tahoe at the Spartan Race World Championships when I'd never run up nor down a mountain

before in my life. And I went out there and I just wasn't used to that. I mean, I got done with even the

world champs in Tahoe, even the 17 mile year that was was a three-hour race. And I was barely sore the

next day because I was prepared for the task. So nothing comes close to this, honestly.
