The St. Louis Legends join us, so tune in and find YOUR Happy Pace!

It's a little more somber week for The Back of the Pack Podcast. We will discuss a great new race we did in Kansas City, KS that was unfortunately born out of tragedy. We will discuss how to try to create a triumph even in the most difficult of situations. It is not easy and it is not immediate. We will also honor our 2024 Rexy Maddox who has finished his battle with cancer while gaining his wings. Join us for a more difficult episode.

We will talk about how to approach them when they happen. Join in and make sure that this is an episode you take all the way to the finish line.

Another race weekend on the road for The Back of the Pack Podcast. We were in Rolla, MO for the Honoring Our Heroes Half Marathon. This race review was requested by a fan of the show, so we saddled up and went on a bit of a road trip to check this event out. It was an absolutely great race that we cannot wait to tell you all about. Join us as we deep dive this small Missouri race and yes, we will definitely hope to be back next year!

It is Veteran's Day here in 2024. A day to honor those who serve. This week we ran two Veterans Day themed races. One of them turned out to be a most difficult of 5k! We'll do a quick review of these and talk about some other military themed events coming up in 2025. Some we have done, some we are learning about for the first time. So join us as we cruise though November and make our annual stop to honor our heroes!

A weekend off for us, but the running world kept on spinning! The 2024 New York Marathon is in the books! A few races to cover, and then the eagerly awaited episode on the Galloway Run Walk Run Method. We'll break it down and talk about how it effects us on race day. We throw in a little runners etiquette to cap things off. Lastly, we have a BIG question for all of you in this episode. We need to know what you think, so listen in and let us know!

We are back from Year Two at The Good Life Halfsy in Lincoln, NE. We enjoyed this race so much last year, we had to come back for another round! This time we brought a team with us! 70 runners joined our team this year. We had a table at the expo, met the folks, and ran the race. It was just about as good a weekend as one could have in Lincoln, NE. Join us as we breakdown all things Good Life, and go over this crazy month of October 2024!

Welcome to Season Three! It was the Garmin Kansas City Marathon weekend. The official start of our new season.

Our second year heading up to the land of the Corn Huskers for this 13.1 mile jaunt through Lincoln. We cannot wait to see you there and get our SEVENTY person team picture!

That's right! Season two of The Back of the Pack Podcast is coming to a close. That's okay though, because season three starts next week! Join us as we talk about the 2024 Chicago Marathon. We also have a couple race reviews to catch up on, a race expo we attended, and an article you won't believe! Some races make the strangest decisions! Before we head off to the Garmin KC Marathon, come get caught up with everything that's been going on since our return from Berlin!

We are back from the 2024 Berlin Marathon! The record race for most marathon finishers ever, and we were a part of it! We will be breaking down the entire experience! The good, the bad, and certainly the ugly. This was a trip like no other! The things we do to chase the World Marathon Majors. So settle in for the longest BotP episode EVER! We are off to Germany for 42km of fun!
-
Karin is back! While Kyle is in Berlin and Karin prepares for Pikes Peak, it is time to talk about what it takes to run those races away from the lands you know and love. Not every race is created equal and not every course will be like what you've trained on. Karin breaks down the science behind preparing for a race in a climate you may not be familiar with. And yup, she's bringing the science back to The Back of the Pack Podcast!
-
This is it. It's over. The last weekend of racing before Berlin is in the books. Nothing left to do now but board a plane, fly half way around the world, and run our first Interntational Marathon! This week we'll talk about our two races. The Corporate Challenge 5k (that didn't exactly go as planned) and the second year of the Boulevard 10k. After that, we'll throw a little Berlin Marathon history at you before we leave for the big race. Come on in and have a sit. We have things to discuss!

Everyone Freeze! This is a stick up! Don't anybody move! Thinking Toy Story aren't you? Well you should be. This week we are taking the law into our own hands. We are dealing with an issue that is always on the underbelly of the running world. That being Bandits! Yes, there are bandits among us, but they aren't wearing bandanas and holding up steam locomotives. They are running races that maybe they shouldn't be. So let's talk about these bandits and bring them to justice!
-
We're flying through September! This week is a classic stop for us. We had two races, one of which being the famous and fourteen year old Plaza 10k. Saturday we ran a new race. The Pathway to Parenthood 5k which was a great morning. This week we're going to talk about the hatred in the running world. It's silly, but unfortunately it's a thing. So be ready to look at others, but also take a peak in yourself when it comes to how we can be a better and more supportive running community.
-
We have a couple of quick race reviews including our 300th race! The bulk of this show is a listener requested deep dive into the Chicago Marathon. We did this race back in 2018. This was the first World Marathon Major we had ever done, so it was a deer in headlights kind of trip for us! We'll talk about everything that we can recall from this trip six years ago. Hopefully it will help out all of our friends going to the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!
-
Another weekend down and a new race in the books. We were at the Summer Sizzle 15k. Yes, a 15k. We're going to break the race down. Then we are going to tackle a listener requested topic. We'll talk about races and how we pick them. How do you pick the races you run. Sometimes it's a no brainer, but sometimes it can actually be due to a number of factors. Let's discuss!
-
We were falling a little behind on race reviews, so we are getting caught up today! We've had three great races all in a row. Let's talk about them. We ran the Run to Bless 5k, Rexy Run 5k, and Hearts for RMHC 10k recently. We got to see most of you there! Let's break them down and then look at what's coming up for all of us race addicts!

A picture is worth a thousand words. In host Kyle's case, two pictures were worth a thousand curse words! Like so many of us, we are struggling to make it through this summer training season enroute to our Fall races. We are struggling with that one dirty little word, Discipline! We have to call it what it is and then adjust to the issue. Let's talk about it. Openly and honestly with still some chances to fix our problems before it's too late!
