Scott and Steph sit down to talk about the week that was from comparing The Dawn Wall, a movie about rock climbing in Yosemite, to running to what to do when your shoes are crazy muddy.  We get to talking about other running things as well.  Also, our new training program, The First Half, is now available for pre sale.  It goes live on April 1st but if you order early, we are giving a $30 discount!  It's a comprehensive training program for beginners to run their first half marathon on the way to a potential first Ultra!

I believe with 100% conviction that every person has the ability and potential to be their best self.  This is not smoke and mirrors...I truly believe, because I've seen people defy the odds and I've been there myself pushing through struggles and climbing over walls to get to the other side.  Join me on this podcast to hear more about how believing in yourself can change your life.
