About this episode
Today on group chat, we have Tommie Runz, Peter Bromka, and Erika Kemp. Episode Rundown: Tommie’s leap from The Speed Project (LA → Vegas) to saying yes to Javelina 100—and how trail culture replaced marathon pressure. Tommie's loop plan, pacing, heat management, and staying “locked in.” Crew strategy and gear: the “sundress” shirt, hydration vest, and two-person crew dream team. Fuel and gut check: PB&J on wheat (yes, really), gels, and vegan-friendly options. Detroit Free Press Marathon recap (bridge and underwater mile). The #CongratulateAMarathoner movement—why showing up matters.
