Episode 58: 2026 Run for the Fallen & Chase Race recap

Episode 64: SoMa 1-mile & Arkansas 2-miler recap & a possible race in Switzerland??

Michelle & Graham are back after a month-long hiatus, but they give their listeners insight on what they've been up to as of late. They both ran the SoMa 1-mile race in downtown Little Rock and the Arkansas 2-miler in Benton earlier this month. Michelle moved and has a major announcement regarding her running days. Also, your hosts will be leaving for Europe in early July, and Graham may run a nearby race while in Switzerland, if it's not too far out of the way. Graham will be getting his runs in either way while across the pond, and Michelle will have plenty to report back on as well. Till then, enjoy this episode and we'll see y'all next time. As always, thanks for listening!

Episode 63: Graham gets hot at the Hometown half + it's SoMa 1-mile week!

While Michelle has spent the last couple of weeks preparing to move, Graham spent his Saturday at the Hometown half marathon in North Little Rock, Arkansas. By the way, he does show off his license plate medal on this episode. Graham paced the 2-hour group on Saturday, and although he had a solid performance, he did feel the effects of the rising temperatures for the rest of the day. This week, Michelle and Graham both will take part in the SoMa 1-mile Grand Prix race Friday night in downtown Little Rock. It's a race your hosts took part in a year ago. On top of that, see what else M&G are up to in this episode of the Tough Runs Don't Last podcast. Happy running, folks!

Episode 62: School's out for summer and 4-straight weeks of races for Graham

Graham briefly recaps his half marathon from last weekend, then gives a rundown (pun intended) of what all he has coming up, which is four-consecutive weekend races, starting on Saturday at the River Trail 15K in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Michelle will participate in the last two of those upcoming races: the SoMa 1-mile race and the Benton 2-miler. Both Michelle and Graham are finished with school for the semester, so they'll do their best to make room for other activities this summer. This means catching up on TV, golf, prepping for a Euro-trip, and Graham gets Michelle to watch his favorite non-comedy movie, Braveheart. Hear Michelle's review of that and what else is new in the world of Michelle and Graham. All that and then some on this episode of the Tough Runs Don't Last podcast.

Episode 61: Toad Suck 10K & Frisco Railroad Run

Graham gets PRs in back-to-back weekends at the Frisco Railroad Run and the Toad Suck 10K. Graham did the marathon race at Frisco in Willard, Missouri, last weekend; then, he followed that up with his 10K on Saturday in Conway, Arkansas. In Willard, he came across ice cold water and king snakes; yes, plural. At Toad Suck, Graham ran in the trendy new Adidas adizero shoe. Here what he thinks about those, while Michelle does the show despite all the personal things she's been dealing with. Don't worry, she's OK.

Episode 60: 2026 Boston Marathon preview, charity runners, Hogeye weekend & more!

Michelle and Graham preview (sort of) Monday's Boston Marathon and say what they think regarding runners that qualify to run the prestigious race, and those that receive a bib via a charity organization. Yes, it's a hot topic. Graham also gives a recap of last weekend's Hogeye Marathon races, and what his experience was like as a 5-hour pacer for the marathon race last Saturday, and what it was like to come back the next day and race the Hogeye 5K for the Arkansas Grand Prix. Massive shout out to Margie (Graham's mom) for the hot tub therapy! All that and then some on this episode of the Tough Runs Don't Last podcast!
