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.

Kirk, you look tired this morning.

Thank you. That's one of the nicest. I know that's not a compliment in most situations. That would not be a compliment. But this, this is earned. Yeah, I was telling you before we hit the record button that I didn't get out of bed until after 8 o'clock this morning, which is, I mean, it's been years, I would say, because it's just like that final, like, breath, that final exhale after, I don't know, it's all over.

And now my body's like, bz, it's kind of nice, honestly.

Prior to this morning, what was the latest you've slept in this calendar year?

Here we are on May 19th.

So almost halfway through the year.

I'm sure I've seen seven o'clock on like a rare weekend day, like probably, especially in the winter with the darker hours.

But no, normally it's notably earlier than that, which is the same for you.

No, I'm much more free with my weekend's sleep.

If I, if we don't have anything that day which is increasingly rare

now that sports seasons are back on but i'll take either like lisa and i take either saturday

or sunday as a catch-up day so i've definitely seen eight this year on a weekend morning.

And you're able to because that's also the key.

Like even if your intentions are good to sleep in and you're like, I can do it.

And then you end up to sleep in less and less.
