Beers and Miles
By Cris
We talk about running, have some beers, and try to fit in as much of the normal day to day that we see. Often off topic, we try to manage some sort of direction, sometimes.

2023 Track Trade Deadline
2023 Track Trade Deadline
We have a fun podcast on deck for all of you fellow track nerds. With the NBA Trade Deadline just ending, Fahy came to us with an idea... What if all of the major US Distance groups had their own trade deadline. So we did it. On this week's episode Cris is joined by Fahy, Ditri (for a second), and Witty as we go through all of the major US groups and facilitate trades. We got package deals, one for ones, and maybe even some extras tossed in to make up for cap space. We hit almost every group here and then discuss who would be every group's franchise player that would never be traded. And of course we finish it off with some fun questions to cap it all off.

Dealing with Running Anxiety
Dealing with Running Anxiety
On this week's episode of the Beers and Miles podcast Cris and Brent are joined by one of our favorite reoccurring guest, one of the British citizens of Albion, Adam Ditri. We catch up on running and then jump right into our main topic brought to us by Nicky B. The topic for discussion is: how do you deal with running anxiety? We follow up the main running topic with our fun topic of the week: What are your no skips albums. Finally, we wrapped things up with our usual random questions at the end of the show. As always beers and consumed and we may have some hot takes at the ready.

Finding the Fire Part 2: Finding The Balance
Finding the Fire Part 2: Finding The Balance
The transition to competing post collegiately is often one that is not as straightforward as we believe it would be before graduation. In the second part of our multipart series, we welcome back Otterbein's University's Max Hoffman, and Albion College's Adam Ditri & Andrew Wittland to discuss the paths they took to running competitively again following graduation. Each speaks about their path to finding a coach and finding a healthy balance for themselves while still staying motivated to continue competing.

Look out for Part 3 coming to you soon!

Beers And Miles The Elite Files: Alex Burks Part 1
For this week’s episode of Beers and Miles The Elite Files, we are joined by special guest Alex Burks! We had a ton of fun recording with Alex and as such had way too much content for one episode so we’re cutting it into a multi-episode series!
Our first episode focuses primarily on Alex’s journey into running, high school running at Mamaroneck High School, and caps off with his collegiate career at SUNY Geneseo.
We talk race stories, hidden talents, and another unofficial “official” All-American award. As always, we get horribly off topic throughout but Alex is a good sport.

Beers and Miles: The Elite Files: Ethan Hermann Part 1
This week we're excited to welcome The Oval's Editor in Chief and Philly Runner Track Club's own Ethan Herman to the podcast! Ethan's story is unlike what we typically see from most. While some make the jump to collegiate running following a success high school career, Ethan chose an academic institution without a track and field or cross county program. While this would typically mark the end of competitive running for most, Ethan found a home with the Philly Runner Track Club and has since reached new heights making him someone to watch for on any starting line he is on. Part one focuses on his roots, how Ethan started running and his journey into Philly Runner. We had a great time reminiscing over past races and great shenanigans that can only come from things like club xc.

Holiday Madness Bono-Episode
We have a bonus episode for you folks during this Christmas break (don't tell anyone, Cris never got you anything...). We have a round table before we all went on holiday with special guests, Josh, Breydon, Gunner the Dog, and an unhinged Derek 3 days deep into his Bicentennial attempt. We got a lot of talking over each other so bare with us, it's a bonus episode anyways, but boy do we have a lot of zingers. We talk about running stuff because this is a running podcast I think? Breydon talks about his Trial of Miles experience, Derek talks about his Bicentennial attempt and I think tries to convince us it's a great idea. Breydon takes control of the pod for a little and we take a deep dive into food preferences and then we cap it off with some questions. You get laughs, cries, and even jingles. It's like being home for the holidays!
