Episode Notes

Joining Rob and Becs this week is New York Giants legend and longtime runner Tiki Barber. Tiki shares what inspired him to run his first New York City Marathon in 2014 and going on to complete over 15 marathons, including races in Boston, Big Sur, and Jerusalem with hopes of running all Abbott World Marathon Majors. He talks about how the “beauty of running is the encouragement you get” from the spectators, unlike football where you may get booed by the crowd, which he lightheartedly admits he’s experienced a few times. Tiki also discusses his work with Team for Kids and Achilles International and what’s next for him, including being a guide runner at the NYRR Staten Island Half. Plus, Rob and Becs reflect on the loss of running pioneer and NYRR Hall of Fame member Nina Kuscsik who passed away last week. And this week’s Meb Minute is all about training smart in the summer months.
