Rio Marathon met Black Jesus and the Moment Marcus & Rob Went Too Far #193

A Runner’s Life

In this episode, Phil recaps his adventure at the Rio De Janeiro Marathon, sharing highlights of the culture, the race, and a mishap even his 'Black Jesus' powers couldn't prevent.

We catch up on everyone's training: Marcus and Phil are gearing up for the Berlin Marathon, Rob is preparing for the Chicago Marathon, and CJ is back in the game training for the NYC Marathon. CJ is back.

We give an update on our Jordan sneakers, discussing the hits and misses, with Phil calling out the guys for not showing up in their J's at the marathon expos.

Rob gives a part two to the experience in the Boston medical tent thermometer check story.

Recorded on Juneteenth, Marcus and Rob have a meaningful conversation about the diverse shades of blackness...

Marcus talks about the origins and goals of the One Percent Running Club.

We also chat about our long runs, with Phil detailing running 20-mile sessions on a 400m track… Why?

This is like the barber shop chat for running podcasts, and whilst we give as good as we get, the respect is always there as we look to bring out the best in each other.
