2 dudes running by Samuel Gerstenbacher

Chris and Samuel have a shorter one for you today primarily focused on how to determine if your hobbies / pursuits are value-adding in your life. We distill it down into a simple and actionable framework anyone can use. Tune in!

In this episode we follow up the discussion from last time with other insights on how we have been fostering a more sustainable mindset and lifestyle.

Chris and Samuel are back (yes, again, we know…). With both fresh off dealing with significant burnout for the first time and still navigating those murky waters this episode unpacks their respective experiences. Thanks for tuning in!

The dudes are finally back. Enjoy this episode discussing their current fitness, some racing plans, doping in cycling and Deena Kastor’s book “Let Your Mind Run”.

Just jokes, people. Anyway, recapping some recent race performances where Chris and Samuel came away with big PBs. The boys are fit. Thanks for tuning in!

Exciting episode this week covering Samuel’s big 5000m PB @ the Penn Relays and the near disaster that almost occurred (1:35), Race nerves (21:25), Transitioning period after peak races (28:40), and Race nerves part 2 (50:35).

In this episode Christopher takes us through his race at the 126th Boston Marathon, his second crack at the distance.

Another fun episode to brighten even the worst days is here. Chris and Samuel get into updates on their training and recent race performances (hint: big PRs) and then spend time discussing what they wish they knew when they were younger athletes getting into the sport. Enjoy!

This episode Chris and Samuel discuss their recent training (0:35), the structure of the NCAA track & field championships (9:20), the World Indoor Championships (15:40), and get into the nuance of the grossly oversimplified “Is Mileage Overrated?” debate (28:58).

For this episode Christopher and Samuel had the privilege of sitting down with Brian Falk, the Director of XC & Track and Field at Elizabethtown College. It was Coach Falk who helped provide Christopher and Samuel (and countless other’s) the tools and guidance they needed to develop into the athletes they strived to be while at Etown. Tune in for an engaging discussion centered around coaching, team culture building, and more!

Christopher and Samuel live react to the top plays from Super Bowl LVI. Just kidding, mainly just running again.

On the second episode of the 2 Dudes Running Podcast, Chris and Samuel discuss their progress in their current training blocks (1:00), various exciting running news (11:40), and finally amateurism in running (35:15).

In the first episode, Chris and Samuel attempt to tackle the ever difficult job of determining what the best running performances were from around the 🌍 in 2021. A year highlighted by the delayed Tokyo Olympics.
