Robert shares his must-have running (and fitness) gear... and somehow forgets the shoes. He also reveals the one piece of running gear he absolutely hates—but refuses to train without. Ange fires back with her own list of essentials, leaving Robert with more questions than answers.

Robert battles his oldest nemesis: the bathroom scale. Ange shares her perspective as they talk about weight, the "whoosh effect," and Scott discovers there's actually a name for that weird thing people swear happens during weight loss.

This podcast is for entertainment and informational purposes only. We discuss topics including running, nutrition, weight loss, and our personal experiences. While Robert is a licensed psychologist, he is participating in this podcast episode as a runner sharing his personal experiences—not in his professional capacity. Nothing discussed should be considered medical, psychological, nutrition, or mental health advice. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your health, diet, exercise, or treatment.

No guest. No big running breakthroughs. Just Robert and Ange checking in on marathon training and asking the same question after every sweaty run: Why do marathon training plans always peak in the middle of summer? Come for the training update, stay for the heat-induced complaining.
