    Big Milk, Beer Miles, and Big Marathon Swings

    Big Milk, Beer Miles, and Big Marathon Swings

    July 15, 2026
    1h 9m

    Gabby Hentemann is back on Relay after Grandma's Marathon, sharing an honest look at what happened on race day, why she still doesn't regret taking a swing at sub-2:30, and what she's learned heading into her next marathon. The crew dives into the balance between chasing big goals and accepting the unpredictability of racing, while also debating summer training strategies, the placebo effect in endurance sports, and whether broccoli sprouts are actually worth the hype.

    As always, the conversation quickly goes off the rails with Netflix documentary ideas, pro running sponsorships, the infamous "Big Milk" marathon expo story, beer mile memories, Best Western cheesecake theft, and a spirited debate over whether the martini mile should become a real event. They also celebrate Fast Women returning, congratulate Emma Bates and Sydney McLaughlin on welcoming their babies, and wrap up with plenty of laughs about summer running, raising hungry kids, and surviving the heat.
