We kick things off by discussing the reality of staying fit enough for different race distances and whether trail running needs a PR rebrand. We also dive into the tech side of running: do you actually pay attention to your watch's race predictions, or are they completely made up? Tommie gives us an update on his quick build for the Berlin Marathon, and Aaron shares his progress on running every single street in Pontiac. Then, we have a great conversation about leaning back into goal-driven running content instead of just lifestyle posts. Of course, Run Culture Court is in session to discuss drivers interacting with runners, and we settle the absolute wildest debate: is it sock-sock-shoe-shoe or sock-shoe-sock-shoe? Finally, we wrap up with a full shoe review of the TYR Valkyrie Elite v2! TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro03:51 - Staying Fit Enough To Be Ready For Different Races06:34 - Could Trail Running Have Better PR?09:30 - Mr. Poppins on TikTok11:02 - Do You Pay Attention To Your Watch's Race Predictions15:55 - Aaron's Every Single Street Update20:00 - Tommie's Berlin Marathon Quick Build22:18 - What Would Your Superhero Name Be If It Was Based On Your Biggest Fear?30:25 - Leaning Back Into Goal-Driven Content In Running44:30 - Run Culture Court: Drivers Interacting With Runners51:45 - Sock-Sock-Shoe-Shoe or Sock-Shoe-Sock-Shoe, What Is The Correct Way?54:30 - Shoe Review: TYR Valkyrie Elite v2 CONNECT WITH THE CREWInstagram:   / the.pr.projectTommie:   / tommie_runzAaron:   / aaronxworldwideGary:   / garyisarunner #BerlinMarathon #Garmin #TrailRunning #MarathonTraining #ThePRProject #RunningPodcast #ShoeReview #TYRRunning
