Peter talks all about Japan but doesn't ask one question to Bryan about the 250 anniversary celebration of the American Revolution.

Plus prepping for the upcoming "This Would Have Been Shorter Tomorrow" Ultra on Saturday, June 21, 2025.

This week, while Peter is visiting Dave in Japan, Bryan trades his training plan for a single lonely microphone. To help fill Peter's Quadruple-E Brooks Beasts, Bryan checks-in with James McCabe who is deep into his taper; Marathon George joins with tips for runners on how to have a successful and fun Boston Marathon; Emily Saul explains why she started running miles before the 6:30am Rogue Hills workout; and friend-of-the-show Kelli Frey calls in after her suggestion, the "This Would Have Been Shorter Tomorrow Ultra," won our naming contest.

Peter and Bryan discuss goals and subgoals for Peter's trip to Japan including a huge surprise. Bryan describes crying in the rain at the end of his first week of following Professor Lollipop's training plan. Thanks to all of the HWYRTians who submitted suggestions for naming the 2025 summer solstice run: we have a winner!

Bryan and Peter are back together and they cover all of their favorite topics from selling vintage toys to traveling in Japan to old sneakers. They also get a VOICE MEMO from James McCabe who is nearing the end of his training for the Boston Marathon, but needs new motivation. And then Bryan and Peter finally make some decisions about making decisions about the big run on June 21st.

Bryan is about to go away for two weeks. Peter gives some unsolicited advice. And we read listener emails!

Please help name the ultra coming on the longest day of the year, June 21st! Send in your ideas to howwasyourruntoday@gmail.com

Bryan cannot find his locker, Peter crushes his personal goal for February, and everyone sends in a voice memo saying how much they love athlete James McCabe.

In this episode we get our first entries into the "Name That Ultra" contest.

James McCabe finally sends in his first Boston Marathon training update.

Bryan runs miles, Peter continues to get his gym on, and both of them verbal on future challenges like complete morons.
