11. Marathon Training Tips, Around the Crown 10K, & A Running Video Game
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
04/17/24 • 32 min
With 6 marathons under my feet, I share my 6 best marathon training tips, I discuss the vast sustainability and inclusivity measures that make Charlotte's Around the Crown 10K such a special race beyond just race day, and I unveil a totally awesome running video game that will have you rethink going outside for a run when you can stay comfy on the sofa inside your parents' dark, windowless basement, instead.
- Around the Crown 10K: How do you choose races to run? If you’re like me, you don’t consider a race’s impact on a community, its residents, or the planet. Guided by three pillars—inclusivity, sustainability, and elevating the city of Charlotte—Brian Mister, co-founder and race director of the ATC10K, provides a shining example of the transformative impact a race can have beyond race day.
- 6 Best Marathon Training Tips: Registering for a marathon can be intimidating. Forget running 26.2 miles, training for a marathon is a whole other marathon in and of itself! How can you adequately prepare to toe the starting line with confidence? I prepared a checklist of the greatest marathon training tips. Follow these and you’ll be golden come race day.
- Running Video Game: It sure seems like there's a video game for everything these days: Murdering innocent civilians in Grand Theft Auto, shooting and blowing up enemy soldiers in Call of Duty, and fighting Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Raiden to the death in Mortal Kombat (FINISH HIM!), to name a few. But what about a video game for running?

17. Judging Runners, Running vs. Driving, & Fixing Your Appearance After Running
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
05/29/24 • 28 min
The Size 15 Runner contradicts himself countless times while explaining why runners should never judge each other's shoes and gear; he lists the top reasons why running is more exciting than driving; and he presents an all-new drug that's proven to improve runners' physical appearance after their runs. The side effects are...mostly harmless.
- Should You Judge Runners? Confession: I can’t help but check people out when I run. I’m an equal opportunity starer — both men and women catch my wandering eye. But I’m not gawking at their bodies — that'd make me a creep. No, instead, I examine the running gear they choose to wear...and make sure to never judge them. Ok, not never.
- Comparing Running vs. Driving: As a straight male, I’m supposed to drool, mouth agape, over fast cars, loud motorcycles, and anything else with an engine and tires. But I gain far more pleasure from joyful runs than joy rides. Discover why I’d rather tie shoelaces than fasten a seatbelt.
- How Runners Look Before vs. After Running: Everyone looks good BEFORE a run—well, not everyone. But AFTER a run is a different story. Two-Face isn’t just a notorious Batman villain. For runners, it’s the unfortunate condition we’re stricken with, before and then after running. Luckily, I'm here to present an all-new drug that's sure to improve a runner's appearance...with some mild side effects.

26. Starting a Running Shoe Company, Most Innovative Running Gear, & The Golden Running Rule
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
07/31/24 • 32 min
The Size 15 Runner inadequately explains how to follow the Golden Rule of Running; he shares the not-so-inspirational story of how a company pivoted from energy gels and drink mixes to creating running shoes; and he introduces radical new gear designed to help male runners feel more secure.
- Starting a Running Shoe Company: Fed up with being a boring nutrition company instead of an exciting running shoe company, one nutrition brand pivoted to create their very first running shoe. Hear the not-so-inspirational story behind how this new shoe came to be.
- The Golden Running Rule: To wave, or not to wave? It’s the pivotal question when runners spot each other in the wild. But should it even be up for debate? I make the case for why runners should always follow the “Golden Running Rule” and acknowledge each other....sometimes.
- Most Innovative Running Gear: I unveil an all-new, never-before-seen product designed to help male runners feel more secure on the run.

28. Benefits of Using Strava, Brooks Glycerin 21 Review, & Understanding Running Shoe Sizing
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
08/14/24 • 36 min
The Size 15 Runner has a surprisingly challenging time determining his shoe size despite his name; he puts forth shaky evidence for why Strava is the best social media app for runners; and he reviews the Brooks Glycerin 21, available in four mouthwatering varieties.
- The Benefits of Strava: Strava is the largest sports community in the world that connects more than 100 million users through the sports they love. I make the case for why every runner and their mother should be using the best social media app. (No, this isn’t a Strava ad.)
- Brooks Glycerin 21 Review: Like a fine wine, the Brooks Glycerin continues to improve with age. Of course, every other running shoe does, too. So how does the Glycerin 21 stack up against older versions of the shoe and other Brooks shoes?
- Understanding Shoe Sizing: You may think you know your shoe size, but chances are, you’re measuring incorrectly. Even I have issues with it despite being The Size 15 Runner. I discuss all things shoe size—and all things everything else, too.

6. Best Time to Go Running, Do Outsoles Matter? & ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
03/13/24 • 30 min
- Best Time to Go Running: As an anxious person, I tend to worry about the smallest things that have no impact on my life. That’s, perhaps, no more evident than when I’m figuring out when to run. Do I go running in the morning? At night? What about the middle of the day? It’s ironic that something so enjoyable can cause me unneeded stress. To help runners like me, I’m sharing my “expert” opinion on the best time to run.
- Do Outsoles Really Matter? It’s the most overlooked and underappreciated component of the running shoe. It’s not the sexiest or most exciting part, it gets the dirtiest and wears down the quickest, and it’s the only part you can’t see while running. But the next time you’re in the market for your next shoe, you'd be wise to give the bottom of the shoe a good, hard look, in addition to the midsole and upper.
- ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25 Review: ASICS says this shoe will make you feel like you’re landing on clouds, and others will describe the shoe as pillowy soft. Personally, the shoe reminds me more of a blanket — a security blanket. It’s a shoe runners can depend on to provide a supremely comfortable run with ample protection from the pavement and fatigue. Find out why it's one of my favorites.
- CSI: Running Shoes returns with a season premiere so shocking, it'll leave you on the edge of your toes. Unless you're a heel-striker, then you'll be on the edge of your heels.

27. Running Shoe Traps to Avoid, Boilermaker 15k Recap, & “Run Hard, Long, Big and Firm”
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
08/07/24 • 37 min
The Size 15 Runner does a shoddy job outlining the biggest traps to avoid when buying running shoes; he recaps the 2024 Boilermaker 15k race in Utica, NY; and he debuts his questionable new book of memoirs: “Run Hard, Long, Big, and Firm.”
- Avoiding Running Shoe Traps: There’s no more important decision in life than which running shoes to buy. We’ve all purchased running shoes we wish we hadn’t. To help runners avoid shoe buyer’s remorse, I’ve so graciously outlined the biggest decision traps to avoid.
- Boilermaker 15k Recap: The motto of the Boilermaker 15k, the world’s premier 15k event, is “More than a race.” Truthfully, it made me scoff a bit when I read it on signage at the starting line. While that tagline may sound like a cliché, and indistinguishable from similar sentiments echoed by hundreds of other races, I discovered what that can maybe, possibly mean, during the 47th running of the iconic race.
- Run Hard, Long, Big and Firm: I release my tell-all book of memoirs in which I spill the beans on the running industry’s deepest, darkest secrets they don’t want you to know. Plus, I share my biggest successes, and only my successes because The Size 15 Runner never fails.

35. “New Rules” of Running, New Balance FuelCell Propel v5, & The Size 15 Runner Origin Story
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
10/02/24 • 42 min
The Size 15 Runner rules with an iron fist as an unruly rule maker who makes the “New Rules” of running (3:51); he lackadaisically debuts the lackluster trailer for the severely lacking The Size 15 Runner Origin Story movie (14:26); and he effortlessly makes every effort to give a half-hearted effort at reviewing the underrated, budget-friendly New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 (29:29).
- New Rules of Running: The Size 15 Runner does his worst Bill Maher impersonation as he obnoxiously declares the “New Rules” of Running. New Rule!
- New Balance FuelCell Propel v5: Catch this—the catchy-named New Balance FuelCell Propel v5 is a $120 budget-friendly, eye-catching daily trainer with a TPU plate that offers a nice ride at a much lower price than other plated shoes. So, what’s the catch?
- The Size 15 Runner Origin Story: The Size 15 Runner Studios, in association with The Size 15 Runner Pictures, presents a coming of age story...about one little very special boy....with one very BIG special defect: giant tootsies.

39. Brooks Hyperion Max 2, Ranking the Best Running Surfaces, & The Top Running Watches
The Size 15 Runner Podcast
10/30/24 • 46 min
The Size 15 Runner uses his “rank” as podcast host to provide the definitive ranking of the best running surfaces—ranked from worst to best (3:45); he names the best running watch to watch out for when watching out for running watches (17:13); and he goes into hyperdrive and becomes hyperactive as he reviews the speedy Brooks Hyperion Max 2 (31:23).
- Brooks Hyperion Max 2 Review — Typically, the second edition of a shoe doesn’t see big updates. Companies feel compelled to release an update every year, whether or not they’re actually ready to, because...money. But not with the Hyperion Max 2. There are three significant changes to the updated pair that greatly improve it.
- Ranking the Best Running Surfaces — Ever wondered what’s the definitive ranking of the best (and worst) surfaces to run on? Wonder no more! From sand to sidewalk and everything in between, I outline them, ranked from worst to best.
- Top Running Watches — Introducing the Ronex—the world’s first running watch and luxury watch, in one. With a Ronex, you can track each hour, minute, and even second of a day. But not just a day—all days! Find out what else this hideously overpriced and hideous-looking watch can do!

The Size 15 Runner Podcast
03/25/25 • 36 min
The Size 15 Runner makes at least 3 mistakes addressing a New York Times article on the worst 3 running mistakes (2:15); he attempts to make running shoes great again—despite the fact they’ve currently never been greater (12:30); and he reviews the underrated and EVA-plated ASICS Glideride Max—a pair that has him gliding and riding with joy (23:11).
- ASICS Glideride Max Review — ASICS’ newest plated shoe with FF BLAST MAX isn’t just another max cushioned daily trainer; it’s one of the most versatile. The “basket case” aka The Size 15 Runner makes the case for why it’s also one of the most underrated shoes. What case will you make?
- Make Running Shoes Great Again — Running shoes were once great; sadly, they are no longer great. Fortunately, The Size 15 Runner’s Department of Running Shoe Efficiency (DORSE) has developed a 3-point plan to cut inefficiencies from running shoes.
- Worst Running Mistakes, Pt. 1 — The New York Times published an article describing the worst mistakes runners make. The Size 15 Runner published this podcast episode describing why these aren’t actually mistakes.
