The Run-in-Place Party and Podcast Extravaganza was an event like no other. As a snowstorm raged outside, HWYRT joined forces with Coach Dan Fitzgerald and his team at the Heartbreak Hill Running Company for running, shopping, beer drinking, and, of course, podcasting. Partygoers mingled and tried out the amazing treadmill classes, while Bryan and Peter talked with new and experienced runners about how they train, the races they've run, and what they have planned next. The night ended with a raffle that helped two runners add over $1,000 to benefit their Boston Marathon charity running teams.

HWYRT is back in the WGBH Studio at the Boston Public Library, which triggers a memory for Bryan. Peter continues his training for the Boston Marathon. And Bryan gets a kick out of Peter’s habit of always working toward the .2 of 26.2 miles. Then they are joined by veteran runner, and Executive Director of Back On My Feet, Theresa Lynn. Back on My Feet, a national organization operating in 12 major cities coast to coast, combats homelessness through the power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing resources.

Peter has begun his Boston Marathon training and is raising money for Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. Bryan admits he looks terrible at the end of every race he has ever run. They both admit it’s hard to love a treadmill workout at their gym. Then everything gets better when past HWYRT guests each send in an audio letter with their look ahead to running in 2017.
