Jon is a runner, cyclist, and host of For The Long Run Podcast. I like to joke that Jon is the Mayor of Boulder because of his ridiculous network of every single runner who lives within 100 miles. We share a lot of miles on the Boulder trails together and have great, rambling conversations about the running industry and our personal training, like this one. In this episode, we talk about: New running equipment thoughts A silly knee injury: How I\u2019m prioritizing movement and avoiding pain Adventures at high altitude: Leadville and Breckenridge Which is more impressive: a fast marathon or fast 5k? How middle-distance races improve performance Why we love our podcasts Milestones for Strength Running\u2019s podcast and YouTube channel Why I had a lot of grasshoppers jumping around in my car recently\u2026 This episode will make you feel like you\u2019re nerding out on running life with your own workout buddies.
