The Rich Moy Runs Podcast
Middle-of-the-pack runner Rich Moy and his friends talk through current events in their lives, failed attempts at marathon personal records, and the latest happenings in the pro running world. Occasionally, they’ll even fess up to the junk food they ate for lunch.
Today on the pod: Joey G and I break down the men's and women's 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. We discuss who we think will make the team(s), who we want to make the team, and pour one out for Gwen Jorgensen. Plus, a new segment called "We Regret to Inform You," in which we discuss some of the worst job interview experiences we've had.
This week: A few thoughts on the potential ban of Nike's Vaporfly shoes (at least for pro athletes). Did a multi-billion-dollar acquisition make me second-guess my decision to become a stay-at-home dad? And finally, the update you never asked for about whether or not I've showered today.
Today's personal news includes: One more chance for me to share how we budget our money and avoid going into crippling debt to buy running shoes. A brief-ish rant about some threads on LetsRun that argued it should be harder for women to qualify for the Olympic Trials. The update you never asked for about whether or not I got to shower today.

Podcasting is hard when you're a stay-at-home parent, but we're back! This week, the first installment of a (hopefully) recurring series in which I share whether or not I've had the time to shower and other updates.
On today's show:
- I stand by my protest against Nike Running, but offer an olive branch to anyone I might have offended.
- A brief comment on Away's PR nightmare
- Your daily update on whether or not I've showered

My friend Joe Giarratano and I discuss the weather for Marathon Monday (3:00), our thoughts on the men's (12:23) and women's (20:45) races, and why we want Des Linden to pull off an unlikely repeat (25:02). Also, some spicy hot takes on Gwen Jorgensen's bid to make the 2020 Olympic team (28:03).
Rich discusses his training for the 2018 NYC Marathon(1:47), the stupid things he did on race morning (2:08), and three lessons he learned from the experience (4:17). Also, should you urge marathon runners to vote mid-race? (6:47). Plus, would the Nike Vaporfly 4% running shoe make him faster? (8:20).
The running podcast you never asked for is finally here! Rich rambles for a few minutes about his plans for the show, the friends he's forcing to join him, and commits to recording a recap of his miserable 2018 NYC Marathon.
