Introducing the "Half Step Ahead" podcast
We interrupt our very irregularly-scheduled programming to bring you a new show: the Half Step Ahead podcast, where we’re always a half-step ahead of running news, shoes, and of course, each other. Your two new co-hosts, Dylan Friedman and Landon Fracasse, are here to talk about college/high school running, gear, training, trail adventures, and more! The show will also feature many interviews with local athletes and lots of unnecessary but hopefully entertaining banter.
