Peter is a bundle of taper nerves as Bryan coaches him on his goals (and sub goals) for the upcoming Boston Marathon. Plus, it’s the dramatic conclusion to the Clyde Army Countdown! Then, an interview with podcaster, entrepreneur, and athlete Katy Galli, who discusses what it really takes to Keep Moving Forward and follow your passions. http://keepmovingforward.us

Then a visit with the Queen of Feedback Corner Lauren Madden to answer an intriguing listener question about how to explain to non-runners why some runners love to race. Plus, the penultimate Clyde Army Countdown!
Bryan is on the injury deck again, while Peter has completed his 21-mile training run. Also, it's Week 3 of the Clyde Army Countdown. Then the guys speak with brother and sister running team, Eileen Lingley and Tim Morris. The siblings are running the Boston Marathon for Spaulding Hospital’s Race for Rehab Team. This will be Eileen’s first Boston Marathon (and fourth marathon in 18 months!) and Tim’s second year in the wheelchair division.

Over the last 35 years, Wayne Levy has run more than 100,000 miles. What does he do when he’s not out running more than halfway to the Moon? He serves on the Boston Athletic Association Board of Governors and the Advisory Board for Back on My Feet Boston, and he manages RunBoston, a company that provides historical running tours in Boston. Bryan and Peter get Wayne to give them the lowdown on the benefits of running a “daily dime,” find out what happened the first time Wayne attempted to run the Boston Marathon, and go in-depth on ways to avoid injury. Plus, Peter provides an update on Week 4 of the Clyde Army Countdown.
Peter survives running 18 miles on the treadmill, while Bryan considers never using a treadmill again. Then they talk with two runners who will be running the Boston Marathon together: Tim Sullivan, a visually impaired runner (and proud member of the Clyde Army) and writer Mark Remy (dumbrunner.com and Runner’s World) who will be Tim’s guide. They talk about how Tim got into running, how Mark has settled into runner’s paradise (a.k.a. Portland, OR), and how they came to be running the marathon together.

They are not medical doctors. Turns out they’re not psychologists, either.

They discuss why runners run, what the brain goes through on long runs, and how to tackle training for the big race. Plus, Peter gives his Clyde Army Countdown update for week eight.

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.
