The Rich Moy Runs Podcast The Rich Moy Runs Podcast

Today on the pod: Joey G and I break down the men's and women's 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. We discuss who we think will make the team(s), who we *want* to make the team, and pour one out for Gwen Jorgensen. Plus, a new segment called "We Regret to Inform You," in which we discuss some of the worst job interview experiences we've had.

This week: A few thoughts on the potential ban of Nike's Vaporfly shoes (at least for pro athletes). Did a multi-billion-dollar acquisition make me second-guess my decision to become a stay-at-home dad? And finally, the update you never asked for about whether or not I've showered today.

Today's personal news includes: One more chance for me to share how we budget our money and avoid going into crippling debt to buy running shoes. A brief-ish rant about some threads on LetsRun that argued it should be *harder* for women to qualify for the Olympic Trials. The update you never asked for about whether or not I got to shower today.

Podcasting is hard when you're a stay-at-home parent, but we're back! This week, the first installment of a (hopefully) recurring series in which I share whether or not I've had the time to shower and other updates.

On today's show:

- I stand by my protest against Nike Running, but offer an olive branch to anyone I might have offended.
- A brief comment on Away's PR nightmare
- Your daily update on whether or not I've showered

Also, should you urge marathon runners to vote mid-race? (6:47). Plus, would the Nike Vaporfly 4% running shoe make him faster? (8:20).
