Summary
Erica and Laura are back with another chaotic episode of running, real life, and zero filter. This week: Erica's college-age son came home for the summer — and surprise, he moved apartments without telling anyone. Plus: Allyson Felix's comeback attempt, a spirited trail running debate, a jump rope progress report (spoiler: not great), the great underwear-while-running inbox explosion, and two listener Q&As about fueling through injury and running as a newly single mom. Oh, and beans.
