Description

Ever wished you could time travel back to the '90s and 2000s, when running was being revolutionized and pop culture was at its peak? Strap in, we are about to take you on a nostalgic sprint down memory lane! We will be exploring the evolution of running, from the game-changing technology that made tracking miles affordable to the birth of the couch to 5K program by Josh Clark. We'll be reliving the influence of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and discussing the controversial topic of inclusivity in running programs.Our journey doesn't stop at running. Allow yourself to be transported back to the iconic era of pop culture, as we debate Jared Leto versus Heath Ledger, East Coast versus West Coast hip-hop, and discuss timeless music icons like Biggie Smalls, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Madonna, and Salt n' Pepa. We also cover the rise of inline skating and the beginnings of home computing. And yes, we will be taking a moment to reminisce about catchphrases that defined the era like 'talk to the hand' and 'whatever loser'.And let’s not forget the books, songs, and movies that have walked hand in hand with the running community. We discuss the impact of reads like Christopher McDougal's Born to Run, Hal Higdon's Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide, and Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. We also explore the rhythm that keeps us pounding the pavement, from Britney Spears to The Killers and Green Day. Plus, we leave no stone unturned as we ponder the big questions - like is it still ok to say 'chillax' and 'biatch', and what are the best snacks for a 'Mean Girls' movie night?
