In episode 3 of the PRP, Adam catches up with budding runner and dear friend Carter Babcock who has been preparing for the Chicago Marathon on October 10th, 2021. Carter takes listeners on a deep dive of his methodical training methods and discusses how he is constantly a student of the sport. Even after a few years of tailored experience with running at a competitive level, Carter is learning how to improve himself and tweak his preparation every single day.
Guest host Michael Barton, who is relatively new to the running world, shares his zen-like approach to the sport as he discusses why, for now, running is an outlet for him rather than something he is striving to get better at. Carter and Michael both discuss the importance of a supportive community when trying to bag some miles and share stories of how and why they are so inspired to lace up as often as they can. The boys also take a tour into Carter's severe and prevalent addiction to running gear, or "drip" as most would call it.
