    With the Frankfurt Marathon just days away, the team checks in on their taper and final training and shares their goals and race plans. Then comes the main topic: building the ideal marathon kit from the ground up. They give their top marathon shoe picks for the year and talk socks, shorts and underwear (comfort, storage and avoiding chafe). They also cover belts, tops, anti-chafe products, sunglasses, hats and headphones.

    Big thanks to Fear of Tigers for the killer intro music. You can listen to more of his stuff over at https://www.patreon.com/fearoftigers
