Bryan and Peter will be back next week with the start of the all-new Season Two of HWYRT! This week, they wrap up the Summer Rewind series with their incredible interview with the one and only Kelly Roberts! Stay tuned to the end for a new update from Kelly and be here next week for the start of Season Two!
Bryan survives his 18-miler and Peter is on the verge of being on the road again. Then, a fantastic conversation with Kelly Roberts of Run Selfie Repeat. Kelly talks about how she began taking the running and social media worlds by storm, and about the importance of learning to love yourself for what your body can do rather than how well it meets some unrealistic standard. She also gives HWYRT a look into her special brand of craziness that led her to run multiple marathons in one month. Plus, the dangers of mini trampolines!

Yes, we’re still on summer break. But, this is a great interview and you will love it all over again. Veteran marathon runner and Westin Hotel's National Run Concierge Chris Heuisler sits down with Bryan and Peter for an in-depth conversation about life and running. Chris brings the guys up to speed on the Westin’s run concierge program, tells the story of the most amazing birthday run ever, and offers up some unexpected running advice to help Bryan prepare for his big race in Millinocket, Maine.

After the update on this week’s Clyde Army Countdown, Bryan plays nutritionist to help further Peter’s marathon training. Then, they get past their technical difficulties and have an in-depth conversation with runner Alison Desir, creator of the free fitness group Harlem Run. They talk about her (and her relay team’s) historic 240-mile run from New York City to Washington D.C. that raised over $100K for Planned Parenthood, as well as how Alison became a runner and an activist and how she hopes to continue the work that her Run 4 All Women movement began.
Bryan and Peter celebrate their 90th episode by going on vacation and leaving us with their amazing 40th episode. We travel back to August 2016 and go under Harvard stadium with November Project. Check out the crazy post-workout interviews with Caleb Daniloff, Emily Saul, Chris Capozzi, and November Project co-founders Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric. And stick around to the end of the show for updates from the NP “Giant Men” recorded this past week.
Bryan and Peter do the unthinkable and record the open to the show while driving. Peter reveals some news about his ultra race plans, while Bryan admits it’s hard to do the show while operating a moving vehicle. Then they arrive at Charles River Running in Norwood to interview store owner and runner Charlotte Walsh. Charlotte talks about her history as a runner, why she decided to open a running store, and what led to her becoming an ambassador for Run 4 All Women.

Bryan's physical therapy is working wonders but his defeatist self-talk is laying traps for his recovery. And Peter's ultra training may be off course despite beautiful summer weather (or because of it). Then, a trip to Feedback Corner where Peter's stray thought unintentionally weaves a web of running voodoo that ensnares Fast/Funny Ellen London.
