On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Tony Reyes! Tony is a husband, father, marathoner and the Director of Partnerships at BPN. We got the chance to meet Tony at the Chicago Marathon and knew we had to get him on the pod.
We started off talking about Tony’s journey from 400 pounds to marathoner and also his career path that led him to BPN. We learned more about the culture at BPN and what makes the company so special/succesful.
Tony is currently documenting his training for the 2025 NYC Marathon where he will be paced by his boss Nick Bare to try and go sub 5! We talked about his training so far and learned what phrase gets him out of bed at 5AM every day to get after it!
Before we wrapped, we had to discuss Tony’s appearance on Season 1 of new CBS show “The Summit.”
This was a really fun one, thank you so much to Tony for making the time to chat with us. Enjoy!

Kallup is about to line up at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon to attempt a sub-2:37 marathon! He has a new coach and after running several weeks of high mileage is ready to roll! We break down his build and race plan.
Kallup is also planning a run across the USA for his non-profit, RezHope, and for the victims of the recent hurricanes in the eastern US. We discussed his upcoming plans for this as well.
Kallup has been an awesome friend to the pod and we are so stoked to see him rip Indy. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had Caitlyn Miller back on the pod! If you remember from our first episode with Caitlyn, she was announcing her move from Florida to Colorado. We got the update on how life has been in Colorado and also how business is with Expntl Athletics!
Caitlyn will be lining up at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in just a couple weeks, so we talked a lot about how her training block went and plans for race day. The block hasn’t been perfect as business and life have been busy, and also the adjustment to altitude has been tough! Despite that, Caitlyn put together some really strong weeks and workout and is confident about her sub 2:50 goal.
We can’t thank Caitlyn enough for her time and also her support for the pod. Enjoy!

This is a long episode but it is a banger. There is so much to talk about from Chicago weekend and we broke it all down! Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had Thomas Cave back on the pod! Thomas coaches both Danny and Chris via Thomson Training, as well as Trinity High School in Louisville, KY.
If you want to get to know Thomas more, check out our first episode with him! In this one, we discussed how Year 2 of coaching Trinity has been. The team has been running great all year and is favored to win the state championship again. Thomas also started teaching at the high school this year so we talked a bit about that career transition for him!
The second half of the pod, Danny and Chris had their last pre-Chicago Marathon discussion with Thomas. Both of our training blocks went very well, so it was exciting to discuss the race plan with our coach live on the pod before traveling to Chicago!
Those of you who follow us on Strava have probably seen the results - we will discuss in full next episode which will go live later this week! This one was really fun, there are a lot of good tidbits about training, racing, and coaching. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Joe Greer! Joe is a husband, father, photographer, and runner.
Friend of the pod Eric Floberg made a documentary about Joe’s life that will be available to the public by the end of 2024 called “Moving Still.” There have been a few premiers of the film already, but if you want to dive deeper than this episode into Joe’s life, make sure you follow both Eric and Joe on socials for release details.
Joe had a really interesting career journey. He dropped out of college and went to bible college in Washington. His plan was to become a pastor. But then - Instagram came out. Joe quickly gained a following on Instagram with his photography and ended up working at the company VSCO (all of you OG Instagram users remember VSCO, right?).
From there, his photography career took off and Joe is now a full time photographer. We would HIGHLY recommend a follow to Joe’s Instagram account, which will be linked below.
Joe ran in high school, but found running again in his 30s after an extended break. He quickly learned he was talented at the sport and now, at age 36, is shooting for a sub 2:30 at the Chicago Marathon. We discussed his training block and race plans.
We had a really nice time getting to know Joe a little better, and we think you will too. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Trip Ison! Trip is an Ironman, ultramarathoner, podcast host, public speaker, and owns a construction consultation company!
Trip struggled with addiction/alcohol for several years after college. In 2020, he took a hard look in the mirror and decided this wasn’t the life he wanted to live. Empowered by his faith, he became sober and made some major life changes along the way. 15 months after deciding to turn his life around, he completed an Ironman.
Trip now speaks publicly at high schools around the country, hoping to inspire and save the younger generation from making the same mistakes he did. He also has a podcast and brand called “Ain’t Dead Yet,” and we discussed where he got the name from at the start of the pod.
This was an awesome episode, please check out Trip’s socials and pod linked below. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz announce Cheston’s departure from the pod. Cheston explains best on the episode, but he has so much going on in life right now and wants to maximize his time with his family! We will obviously still continue training with Cheston, but he will be greatly missed on the pod. Don’t worry - we will still get Cheston on periodically and the pod will move forward with Danny, Scotty and Chris!
Sooooo…. this little thing called the Chicago Marathon is next weekend. ALL THE BOYZ are running! We are so pumped. Listen as we all break down our final thoughts and plans going into Chicago Marathon 2024.
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Brad Pierce! Brad is an elite triathlete but he is currently training for the Chicago Marathon. He also happens to be a training partner of ours and has shared a lot of miles with Cheston throughout the block!
Brad brings a unique perspective to his marathon training, which we discussed on this episode. While his weekly run mileage is fairly low, he is using other training methods to get a lot of his weekly aerobic work in. We also got to learn about what changes Brad made to go from average to high-level triathlete.
We didn’t have Brad on just to talk about endurance sport though. Since high school, he has been starting businesses and learning a lot in the process. We talk about his business journey so far, what he is up to now, and get some actionable advice for any young entrepreneurs out there.
Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Abby Petter! Abby is a local Louisville friend of ours and is one of the best female Masters runners in the state with a very impressive 2:58 marathon PR from Chicago 2023. You will often see her in our Saturday morning long run group in Louisville!
Abby’s story isn’t just running though. You will learn more in the podcast, but she has an extremely demanding career and is married with 3 kids! Her life embodies the purpose of this podcast, trying to get the best out of ourselves running while balancing all other things in life such as family and work.
We also got into some mental health discussion that we hope will resonate with some listeners out there!
This one was a lot of fun for us and it will be for you too! Best of luck to Abby as she goes for a PR in Chicago this year. Enjoy!

Yes, it’s here. Episode 69! For this one, the boyz had to get a huge guest and we came through for you with Dominic Schlueter, the host of “The Running Effect” podcast.
Dominic is an extremely impressive 19 year old. In 8th grade, he first thought of creating “The Running Effect,” and by the time he finished high school had established himself as a very serious player in the running content scene. He has built a massive following not only on his podcast, but also on social media. He has partnered with major running brands such as Brooks and Maurten, and he also promotes different meets and running events across the country.
We talked about the creation of the podcast, some of his most memorable interviews, and what’s next for Dominic. We also discussed his own running journey and got to learn a lot about his philosophy on life that has driven him to be so successful at such an early age.
Right when we hopped on and started chatting before we hit record we knew this would be an awesome episode, and it truly was. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boyz had on special guest Adam Popp! To get more background on Adam, check out our first episode with him where we talk about his journey from getting his leg amputated above the knee due to an IED in Afghanistan to now being a record setting para athlete.
On this episode, we started off by recapping Adam’s latest race where he broke 3 in the marathon for the first time! We also talked about his record-setting last year as a whole which has included several Guiness World Records.
Adam also publicly shared for the first time his next event, which will be a 24-hour treadmill run in New York City! This event will highlight all of the people and organizations that have gotten him where he is today.
Finally, we discussed some mental tips and tricks for all of you running fall marathons this year!
We can’t thank Adam enough for coming on and wish him the best of luck in his 24-hour treadmill run! Becoming friends with him has been a great pleasure for us hosts and we can’t wait to have him on again. Enjoy!
