Need a marathon coach? Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us!On this episode, the boys had the legend, Ethan Shuley, back on the podcast after his epic 2:07 run in Osaka last weekend. Ethan first came on the podcast a couple months ago after he ran 2:11 at the Kobe Marathon. At this point, he was still relatively unknown to American distance running fans, but after a 1:01 half-marathon in the build to Osaka, he knew something special was possible!Adopting Japanese racing-style, Ethan went out hard at Osaka, around 2:05 high, 2:06 low pace and was able to hang on for an epic 2:07 marathon. This time puts him 7th on the all-time US list after names like Conner Mantz and Galen Rupp. The crazy part is - he did this while being unsponsored. Now - Ethan has agents and sponsors contacting him and he will be signing a professional contract likely this week. We chatted about what the future holds for him, if he will be racing in the U.S. more now, what potential brands are on the table, if there's a chance he runs Boston, and more!FOLLOW ETHAN:IG: https://www.instagram.com/satsueistuff/?hl=enSTRAVA: https://www.strava.com/athletes/13986450?oq=shuleyLOVE LIKE DEANA 5K ENTRY: https://raceroster.com/events/2026/115080/love-like-deana-5k-2026FOLLOW US ON STRAVA Chris https://www.strava.com/athletes/29985667Scottyhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/98633526Dannyhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/23504210CHECK OUT OUR INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/lifeinstridepodcast/QALO QRNT SMART RING 10% OFFqalo.com/lifeinstrideSWIFTWICK SOCKShttps://swiftwick.com/15% off code: LIFEINSTRIDEKEN COMBS RUNNING STOREhttps://www.kencombsrunningstore.com/10% off code: LIFEINSTRIDEMASON CONSTRUCTIONhttps://www.masonconstructionanddev.com/CARBS FUELcarbsfuel.com15% off: LIFEINSTRIDESWITCHBACK ELECTROLYTEShttps://goswitchback.co?sca_ref=6278891.uVBEGmtjbbUlcGPZ 15% Off Code: OTQBOYZCHECK OUT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://youtube.com/@LifeInStridePodcast?si=icd7XfQ4HMmuBRyX

lisrunning.com for coaching!On this episode, the boys had Ben Felton on for our monthly chat to catch up and talk current running events! This was great timing as Ben just set new PBs in the 5k and 10k while doing a lot of his run volume on the bike. We talked all about this and how he plans to utilize this setup going into his Rotterdam Marathon build!Since the Boston fields just came out, we chatted about the best way to pace Boston since Ben set a then-PB of 2:24 in Boston a few years ago. We also talked about our thoughts on the World XC course, Albert Korir being popped for doping, and what we are looking forward to in 2026 with no outdoor World Championships. Will Jakob set the 1500 WR? How fast can Andreas Almgren go? Will we see a women's sub 4 mile?
