    This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we take you on our whirlwind adventure to the Bluegrass State for the Kentucky Derby Festival race weekend! Follow our journey as we road trip to Louisville, swing by the iconic Louisville Slugger Museum to see baseball history in the making, and then tackle not one but two races in 24 hours. We break down Friday night's KDF 5K experience, complete with its unique evening atmosphere, before diving into Saturday morning's main event – the miniMARATHON half marathon that puts runners right through the historic Churchill Downs. Hear our unfiltered account of the weekend's highs (beautiful course sections, dual race medals) and lows (aid station chaos and overzealous pacers that left runners scrambling). We'll share our honest assessment of this Derby Festival tradition, practical tips for future participants considering the challenge, and whether the trek to Kentucky was worth it for this racing experience.

  • Owning Every Mile: Accountability in the Running Community

    Owning Every Mile: Accountability in the Running Community
    Apr 18 2025
    This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we share a remarkable story of accountability from The Running Well store that transformed a minor expo table mishap into a lesson in ownership and integrity. After mentioning the incident on Monday's episode, the store reached out with an apology, demonstrating the power of taking responsibility in the running community. Inspired by this gesture, we dive deep into how accountability shapes every aspect of our running journeys: from the honesty required in training logs and the ownership of race performances (both triumphant and disappointing), to the responsibility we hold in recovery practices and as stewards of our running environments. We explore how the most respected athletes, races, and brands demonstrate accountability, and why developing this trait might be as important to your long-term running success as any training plan. Whether you're struggling with consistency, managing a running setback, or looking to deepen your connection to the running community, this episode offers practical insights on how taking ownership can transform not just your running, but your relationship with the sport itself.
