In this episode, Ange and Robert (who sometimes answers to “Scott” because...why not?) drop a major running announcement. Hold onto your hydration packs, folks. The duo also dives into the oh-so-sexy world of metrics. That’s right—speed, weight, pace, and all the other numbers we love to obsess over when we’re not busy pretending not to care.

So when should you measure your speed or hop on the scale? And when should you throw your Garmin into a lake? Luckily, Robert's a psychologist—so he brings Actual Insight™ to the conversation. You might even accidentally learn something. You’ve been warned.

Robert and Ange lace up and spill the surprising side effects of running—yes, there's more than just sore calves and an addiction to expensive sneakers. They dive into the mental twists and turns: from unexpected moments of zen to full-blown identity crises mid-run (who am I at mile 9?).

Veteran runners will nod in sweaty solidarity. Newbies? Consider this your heads-up: running might change more than your pants size. Welcome to the weird, wonderful world of putting one foot in front of the other… repeatedly.

In this debut episode of How the F*** Did We Become Runners, meet Robert and Ange—two friends who used to think a 5K was a kind of wine. They’ll introduce themselves the only way they know how: with self-deprecation, laughter, and too much information about how they found running. Hear how boredom, bad knees, and an unlikely turn of events slowly led them off the couch and onto the pavement. They’ll also explain why starting at 50 wasn’t a death sentence, why friendship makes sweating slightly less terrible, and how they plan to accidentally inspire you along the way.
