RunHard Podcast | S2 Ep. 01 – We’re Back: A New Season on the Same Road

Season 2 starts here. After a long pause, the RunHard Brothers Podcast is back for a new season and a fresh start. In this episode, Cody and Reist sit down for an honest catch-up on life, running, and the seasons that shaped the break. Since our last episode, life moved fast. Reist became a first-time grandfather. Cody continued navigating fatherhood with kids in three very different stages of life. Running never fully disappeared, but like many busy seasons, it changed shape. Some miles were logged outside, some on treadmills, some in unfamiliar places, and some not at all. This conversation isn’t about perfect training plans or big race goals. It’s about endurance in real life. We talk about what it looks like to stay active when time is limited, how running has shifted with age, and why consistency matters more than speed. We also laugh our way through a new segment trading hot takes and unpopular opinions on travel, fitness, parenting, holidays, technology, and food. Some of these opinions are questionable. All of them are honest. Season 2 is about showing up again. About starting where you are. About running hard in the season you’re in. Thanks for listening and welcome back to the road.

RunHard Podcast | Ep. 06 – Mid-Summer Miles, Mindsets, and Making the Most of the Heat

It’s the middle of summer, the heat is real, and the miles feel different. After a short break, Cody and Reist are back behind the mics to talk about what’s been happening both on and off the road. From adapting training in the summer heat to balancing real life, family, and faith, the brothers share stories from recent runs, observations from the running community, and honest reflections about why consistency matters more than perfection. We cover the mental side of summer running, how to find motivation when schedules change, and the small wins that keep you moving forward. Whether you’re chasing PRs or just trying to keep your rhythm in the middle of July, this conversation will keep you encouraged and grounded.

RunHard Podcast | Ep. 05 – Laps on Cruise Decks, Cobblestones in Guatemala, and Running Through Chaos

We’re back from the road... literally. In this episode, we share what it’s like to keep running when life doesn’t slow down. Reist recaps his cruise through the Caribbean (and his 27 laps around a cruise ship deck in 100-degree heat), while Cody shares stories from a mission trip to Guatemala—including a stray dog that ran four miles with him through the cobblestone streets of Antigua. We also debut our new Run Smart segment, breaking down Yasso 800s! This is one of the most reliable, mental-toughness-building workouts in running. This episode is about movement, margin, rhythm, and refusing to quit even when your schedule’s insane. From family updates to training goals and upcoming races, this is the post-break catch-up episode you didn’t know you needed. 🔍 What You'll Hear in Episode 5: • Reist’s honest reflection on what it felt like to run while on vacation—navigating heat, cruise ship loops, and how rest and routine coexist. • Cody’s experience running in Guatemala, staying consistent while serving others, and what he learned from running alongside locals (and one particularly loyal street dog). • The power of staying flexible in your habits, not rigid. • Encouragement for runners who are in the “off-season” or feel like their routine is off track. • The debut of our new “Run Smart” segment—this time featuring a full breakdown of Yasso 800s: what they are, how to use them in marathon training, and why the mental game might matter more than your pace. • Upcoming races and what’s next for the RunHard Bros. 🏃‍♂️ Who is this for? Runners who are balancing real life and real goals. People who aren’t chasing medals—they’re chasing consistency, purpose, and peace. Listeners who know the joy of movement and the chaos of summer schedules. Whether you’re training for a marathon or just trying to get back out the door, this episode will remind you: You don’t have to be fast. You just have to keep showing up. 💡 Featured Segment: Run Smart – Yasso 800s Want a marathon workout that builds both confidence and fitness?

RunHard Podcast | Ep. 04 – Family, Wounds, and the Miles That Changed Us

This episode is different. And honestly—it should be. In Episode 4, we take a step back from race stories and training plans to talk about what really shaped us. Growing up in a broken home, navigating absence, pain, and years of silence—and somehow, finding healing through running. This is the story of our family, our father, our mother, and how running became more than miles. It became a place for rebuilding strength, reclaiming peace, and moving forward. We don’t share this for drama. We share it because it’s real—and because someone else out there needs to know they’re not alone. Topics Include: * What we learned growing up in a fractured family * Finding our father after decades apart * Showing up for someone who couldn’t show up for us * Grace for our mom and the weight she carried * How running became a space for healing, brotherhood, and quiet strength — 🎙️ New episodes every other Tuesday 📲 Follow us on Instagram → @runhardpodcast [https://instagram.com/runhardpodcast] 💬 We’d love to hear your story.
