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.

We have both monthly subscription training plans. When you're ready to take your training or racing to the next level, go to the running public.com.

Kirk DeWint.

Yes, sir.

How's life been for you? It's good, man. It's good. We're on schedule this week. We're on routine. Here we are. Nothing new. Other than my legs had been

absolutely trashed. And I think I'm coming out of it just slightly finally, which is good. It's actually

early to be coming out of it, but I've been pretty wrecked for about two weeks. So that's new,

but I think we're emerging. How about you? What do you think caused it? Three hour long runs

with concrete descents and 65 miles a week with 10,000 feet of gain, I would say for, you know.

Is this the biggest train load you've ever had?

No, because I'm going on an every other week basis.

I'm going back and forth between like 50 to 55 with a little less gain and then 60 to 65 with a little more.

But it's consistent with, I mean, I'm doing it in five runs, all singles. So when did you do more than this? Maybe pre-Taho 2019 that summer. What do you think you were hitting that summer? Were you on Strava at that time? I was probably 60s, but with six runs, but also more overt. I'm fact-checking you right now.

Okay, you can do that.

That's not how I plan to start this, but... No, me either. Six runs a week you were doing, and now you're on five? I think so. Well, no, I don't want to be a liar. I better not be lying to you, the good people, the running public. Pre-Taho 2019. Yeah, let's talk somewhere on there.

Oh, I'm on it.
