Kofuzi Run Club

Today, we played a new game that I think might be impossibly difficult. I'll give you three specs of a shoe: stack height, drop, and weight. you have to guess what it is.

Unboxed a package from Adidas. These were items I purchased myself. I think I did a pretty good job with my selections this time.

I bought some clothes from Saucony. I think I need to stop ordering stuff off the internet after I've been having summer beers

I had a chance to speak with Dakotah Lindwurm after her 2nd place finish at Grandma's Marathon 2023. As the 2021 and 2022 champion, Dakotah was the favorite for the three-peat and also for a potential course record. We talked about how her day went, how she's processing that day, and what her future looks like as she heads towards a fall marathon and the US Olympic Marathon Trials. Dakotah...

I'm working with Kodiak Cakes on an instagram campaign. They sent me some things to use for the campaign. Let's taste test them live.

the theme for this week's trivia is Grandma's Marathon. There's no point and no prizes, but hopefully, we'll have some fun.

Got a package from overseas. And we talked about grumpy YouTube comments from track bros, trail bros, and zero drop die-hards.

Unboxing a package from Believe in the Run. It wasn't what I was expecting. Also, I may have the KOM for the Denver Airport C terminal.

Got a package from Path. and we talked about my plantar fasciitis

I had the chance to speak with Altra pro marathoner, Sydney Gidabuday, while I was in Boulder. He just came off his debut marathon, and we discussed the race in detail, his thoughts for his next marathon build, and which shoes he's wearing as he's recovering from this marathon. This interview was recorded on Pearl St. in Boulder. June 7, 2023 Sydney on IG https://www.instagram.com/sydney_g...

Tommie_Runz joins the livestream to play Name That Shoe! I show a picture of a shoe, and you have to guess what that is. Tommie needed help with this extra difficult edition of the game, and so it was good to have some expert help from the Kofuzi Run Club chat in the livestream.

Received a package from Adidas. I am fairly certain it is not under embargo

I had the chance to interview Emma Bates in Boulder at an ASICS event. We talked about toxic mold, why her World Championship Marathon PB performance was a disappointment for her, and what she needs to do to get to a 2:18 marathon goal time (which would be an American record). This episode was pre-recorded and not-live on June 6, 2023, but it was a such a good conversation, I thought I'd put i...

I just got back from four days in Boulder, running with pro athletes and my media friends. I also unbox a Nike by You that did not go well.

I'm in Boulder this week, and I've found a couple of ASICS pro athletes to join in a round of Name that Shoe. I showed them some closeups of shoes, and they had to guess what they were. There were no points and no prizes, but I think we had a lot of fun. Tommie Runz also makes a guest appearance in this episode.

got two packages in today, and Im really excited about them. If they are what I think they are, they will be perfect for this summer weekend

This week, I'm bringing on my friend, Ashley Mateo. Ashley is a journalist, writer, and editor. If you've ever read running content in a magazine, you're probably already familiar with her work. She's also someone who has been on some of the same adventures I've been on over the past couple of years, so I'm glad to spend some time with her again on this livestream. Ashley o...

We played a game where I show you a picture of a pro runner when they're wearing non-running clothes. TBH, this one is going to be real tough to listen to, as I'm terrible at describing how people look, and also, the way that I'm colorblind, Im particularly bad at describing hair color. But, we do have a nice discussion after the game about what to do with future games and future poten...

got a package from Craft. Plus, the internet is grumpy

Running shoe Q&A

This week's guest is Matt Choi. I first interviewed Matt about 7 or 8 months ago, but we lost that interview to technical difficulties. Here we recover some of that ground but then also venture into some bold new territory. The was one of my favorite conversations I've had on the livestream.

Got a couple packages from Tracksmith. Let's see what they are.

I show you a close up photo of a shoe. You tell me what it is. This week, we're looking at carbon plated shoes

Got a little something from Rabbit. Usually, I kinda know what's coming. But this, I have no idea.

Unboxing a package that had a secret message inside!
