ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The PR Project crew is back on the mic to tackle everything from local goals to global running news! We kick things off with Aaron’s wild goal to run every single street in Pontiac, Michigan. Then, we swap some battle stories about managing the physical and mental toll of running injuries, sparked by Tommie's fluke shoulder tweak and Gary's amateur injury history.
We also dive deep into the news shaking up the Abbott World Marathon Majors: the new Boston Marathon lottery process and what it means for the community. Plus, we react to Josh Kerr's mind-bending mile world record, debate if Brooks is having a major comeback moment, and discuss how the 2026 World Cup is impacting the broader sports landscape. Finally, Run Culture Court is in session to decide if we need to retire the phrase "Real Runner" for good, and Dawnta drops in to give us a full review of the New Balance SuperComp Rebel v6!
