That lactic acid concrete wall really knows how to put our competitive egos in our places! Loved this gripping sprint to the finish line

Thank you, Eric! The "lactic acid concrete wall" was gold for which I must credit Rick Lewis. He mentioned that in his feedback and I was like, that is a perfect description.

This part made me cackle: "as if we should be excited to spend our afternoon sucking wind on a 6-mile run". Loved this one Charlie! I always get excited to read your posts.

I laughed out loud at "Nobody cared about the 1600 and 800." My dad coached high school track my entire childhood and those races were always snack time for me. I felt all the energy of this piece. Also, extremely impressive 1/2 mile and mile times ⏱️

I'm sure there are many different ways this could work, but ours just comes on Mondays and cooks meals for the week (mostly dinners and side dishes for Mon-Fri), then gives us reheating instructions.

If you want to listen, it's like the last 12ish minutes of the pod (start around the 35:20 mark).
