In this episode of The Run Down, I break down my experience racing in South Korea — from the high hopes to the hard truths. I walk through the entire race, share my data comparisons, and unpack what might’ve gone wrong: from travel fatigue to taper strategy, to just… not my day.

This is the full debrief. The behind-the-scenes. The unfiltered recap. If you've ever had a race blow up on you, you'll relate to this one.

🎧 Filmed live in Incheon, now adapted for the pod.

💥 Topics: race strategy, mindset mid-meltdown, taper mistakes, and lessons for Chicago.

Mark my words...I will get that sub 60. Today just wasn't that day.

This episode is all over the place in the best kind of way. I kick things off solo with a bit of a training update, a kangaroo rescue mission, and some honest thoughts around identity, social media, and why I cut a chunk out of last week’s episode.

Then Amy jumps in and things get loose. We chat relationship milestones (farting with mouth tape on made the list), run through some weirdly specific Q&A, talk about what it’s like trying to balance work, training, and time together — and there are plenty of laughs along the way.

Appreciate you being here. If you’re into it, let me know what you think of the episode or drop a rating – helps a lot 👊🏼

I fly solo in this one, recapping my recent Deka Strong win, training block updates, and the surprising muscular grind of Zone 2.

I dive into the psychology of performance, why intensity needs balance, and how cutting out gossip has completely shifted my perspective. A bit of a ramble, a lot of real talk.
