Kinda Fast Podcast

Episode 65: Kinda Fast Case Files: Mysteries, Scandals, and Controversies The evidence has been collected, the files have been reopened, and Travis has not been told the official rulings. In this special true crime-inspired episode of the Kinda Fast Podcast, Claire and Travis investigate four of the strangest mysteries, scandals, and controversies in running history. We are talking suspicious split times, missing photographs, an unexplained wind reading, and a marathon that may never have happened, Before opening the case files, we explain the new World Athletics Ultimate Championship and how the fast-paced, three-night event differs from the traditional World Championships. We also recap several of its biggest performances, including sprint doubles from Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Kenny Bednarek. Then, we discuss the Racefaster Half Marathon in New Jersey, where runners crossed waist-deep and, in some places, chest-deep floodwater despite multiple flash flood warnings. At what point should race organizers cancel an event rather than allowing runners to decide whether to continue? We also cover the controversy surrounding HYROX Beijing winner Joanna Wietrzyk. Officials allowed her to continue competing after a bowel-related incident created sanitation concerns involving the shared course and workout equipment. Should officials have stopped her immediately? Finally, it is time to examine the evidence in four unforgettable case files: Case File 1: Rosie Ruiz and the Boston Marathon victory that quickly unraveled. How much of the marathon did she actually run? Case File 2: Flo-Jo’s 10.49-second world record and the wind gauge that officially recorded no measurable wind. Case File 3: Kip Litton, his suspicious marathon performances, and the mysterious West Wyoming Marathon, which may never have taken place. Case File 4: Allyson Felix, Jeneba Tarmoh, and the dead heat that left USA Track & Field without a rule for awarding the final Olympic position. Travis hears the evidence without knowing the verdicts and shares his theories before Claire reveals the official rulings. Can he solve the cases?

How did running go from a survival skill to one of the world’s most popular sports? In Episode 64, Claire and Travis travel through the history of running, from early humans hunting for food and ancient messengers delivering critical news to the first Olympic footrace, professional pedestrianism, and the creation of the modern marathon. They also explain why a marathon is exactly 26.2 miles and how the running boom made the sport accessible to everyday athletes. In What Does That Even Mean?, learn about the ancient Greek stadion and how it gave us the modern word “stadium.” In running news, Claire and Travis share the powerful story of Keith Palmer and his father, FDNY Battalion Chief Orio Palmer. They also discuss the Edmonton Marathon course error that cost 13 runners their Boston qualifying times and Clayton Young’s attempt to break Conner Mantz’s American marathon record at the Chicago Marathon. Finally, they explore the important place running holds in the Bible, from Old Testament messengers and the race to the empty tomb to Paul’s instructions to run with purpose, discipline, and perseverance.

Do runners actually love running...or do we just love proving we can do hard things? This week, Claire and Travis explore why runners willingly choose discomfort, complain through every mile and then wake up and do it all over again. They break down how the brain interprets pain, why running with friends makes suffering easier and how to stop a difficult run from turning into a mental spiral. Plus, they explain eccentric loading, test their knowledge of college football speed, cover a professional runner’s dog-assisted 4:31 mile and recap Ben Dhiman’s incredible UTMB victory and the record-breaking 2026 Sydney Marathon.

This week on the Kinda Fast Podcast , Claire and Travis are talking about something runners hear a lot less about than overtraining: undertraining . How do you know if you’re actually doing enough to reach the goal you’ve set? We break down some of the biggest signs you may not be training enough, why adding more miles is not always the answer, and how to make sure your training actually matches what you’re trying to accomplish. Before the Deep Dive, we get into some wild running news, including the Sydney Marathon’s major medal mix-up, a woman allegedly throwing eggs at runners during the Edmonton Marathon, and Yomif Kejelcha’s incredible 56:51 half marathon in Buenos Aires. We also explain what “pending ratification” really means when a runner breaks a world record, including the course, drug testing, equipment, and shoe checks that have to happen before a record officially goes into the books. Plus, we talk about consistency, training plateaus, motivation, and why the goal isn’t to finish every workout exhausted. The goal is to get better.

In Episode 61 of the Kinda Fast Podcast, Claire and Travis are answering a question every runner eventually asks: When is it actually time to increase your mileage? But first, they kick things off with What Does That Even Mean? and finally settle the question of what exactly a running singlet is—and whether it’s really any different from a tank top. Then it’s time for running news! The Tokyo Marathon 2027 lottery is officially open , and Claire and Travis break down the important dates, entry fees, and just how tough it is to land a bib. They also test out a viral running hack involving Aquaphor on your eyebrows to keep sweat out of your eyes. It sounds ridiculous…but apparently there’s actually some science behind it. And the Jakob Ingebrigtsen vs. Josh Kerr rivalry is back. After returning from 11 months away from racing, Jakob says athletes who skip major championships are “ruining the sport”—and yes, he was talking about Josh Kerr. Then, in today’s Deep Dive: Kinda Want to Run More Miles? Claire and Travis talk about how to know when your body is actually ready for more mileage, including: Whether you’re consistently handling your current mileage How well you’re recovering between workouts What your easy pace can tell you about your fitness Why mileage increases should support a long-term goal How structured training plans can help take the guesswork out of adding miles When the 10% rule can be useful Why you should spread extra mileage throughout the week Why adding mileage AND intensity at the same time can be a mistake Why you should never try to “make up” missed miles The biggest takeaway? More mileage isn’t automatically better mileage. The goal isn’t to run the most miles you possibly can. It’s to find the amount of mileage you can train from, recover from, and consistently repeat.
