#57 Home Sick, Runners High, and the Playlist That Got Us Through It
About this episode
Josh, Bret, and Sean kick things off with a throwback to home sick days—you know, back when staying home meant watching The Price Is Right and sipping flat 7UP. We swap stories about faking sick, the tricks that worked, the ones that totally didn’t, and how our parents basically had a built-in B.S. detector.
Then Sean takes us into beast mode with the story of his first 50km ultra run—what it took to train, the wild reality of a runner’s high, and the mental game of doing something ridiculously hard. We dive into how we train—music or no music, whether smelling salts actually do anything, and why the right playlist in the gym can turn you into a superhero (or at least make you feel like one).
From nostalgic laziness to modern mental toughness, this one’s all about what it takes to rest, recover, and push yourself through the hard stuff—with or without a power ballad.
