Episode Notes

The 130th edition of the Boston Marathon is upon us and it's shaping up to be a picture perfect day for racing. But before that, we have plenty of activities, so join us for a weekend of fun, whether you're racing or not. We cover all that before diving into the Marathon Des Sables across the Sahara Desert, as Desert Des Linden goes on another side quest and takes third place OA. If you're running on Monday, good luck and don't forget to take your LMNT!

SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS


SWIFTWICK
In 2025 we launched a vintage collection in celebration of the Boston Marathon with Cole Townsend of Running Supply that sold out in minutes. For this year's race, we've teamed up again for something new. Meet our limited edition, vintage-inspired drop: a T-shirt and sock collection designed to carry you through the streets of Boston. Available now: https://swiftwick.com/collections/boston-marathon-2026

PLUS...


If you'll be in Boston during race week, you’ll be able to shop the collection (along with a new Boston-exclusive drop) at Rec Room in collaboration with Running Supply, located at 334 Newbury St. Stop by the marathon boutique, where you’ll also find brands like SOAR, Currently, Pruzan, Bonzer, Like the Wind, Alex Zono, and Raide.


LMNT
Did you know? LMNT Sparkling comes in a 12 oz slim can with four refreshing flavors: Pineapple Salt, Black Cherry Salt, Lemonade Salt, and Orange Salt, and they’re now available online! These tasty slim cans deliver 500 mg sodium, 100 mg potassium, and 30 mg magnesium. Get your free 8-count LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase: https://drinklmnt.com/thedrop


PILLAR
Recently, we’ve been taking PILLAR Triple Magnesium, and it’s been a game-changer for our sleep and recovery. WE take it about 30 minutes before bed each night which gives us great sleep and helps us recover better so we're ready to train again tomorrow.

If you want to try PILLAR, you can head to pillarperformance.shop or TheFeed.com/pillar and enter code BITR for 15% off first-time purchases.
