Peter and Bryan welcome Sasha Wolff, founder of Still I Run (https://www.stilliruncommunity.com), a non-profit charity focused on the benefits of running for mental health. Following her own recovery from a mental health crisis, Sasha took up running to help her cope. When she couldn't find an existing community focused on running and mental health, she formed her own! Sasha describes the ways in which Still I Run focuses its efforts, including promoting the benefits of running, defeating the stigma of mental health, and creating a virtual community of people sharing their own stories. Plus, Bryan and Peter share some amazing accomplishments from within our HWYRTian running community, and celebrate officially reaching the five-year podcast marker.

Bryan and Peter get a long-distance visit from friends-of-the-show Dan Adamietz and Riley Gage, who recently completed their own solo ultras. To help prepare Peter and Bryan for their pumpkin spice ultra, they share how they were (safely) paced on the course, what was in their feedbag during and after the race, and how they managed their recovery. They also discuss how to maintain friendships while experiencing race-brain and whether or not to caffeine taper. Plus, Peter's and Bryan's goals and subgoals for this week's big run.
