Hamstrings and Heartstrings: Running Talk with Chris and Ellie
Ellie Pell, Chris O'Brien
Hamstrings and Heartstrings is two friends, Chris and Ellie, catching up and having some straight running talk. One of us is real competitive with our running and the other is pretty chill. We'll leave it as an exercise to the listener to decide who is who. The answer may not be the same for each episode! We promise to mostly talk about running and running-related things but don't be surprised if some general nerdery sneaks in. And definitely expect talk about what we're eating. Afterall, Food is running related!

Hi! Hope you are doing well. We recorded a podcast. :-) In it, we talk about why we haven’t recorded one recently, what we’ve been up to, what our new plans and things and life have us into (hint, injuries, and school, and shoes, and special projects) and then of course, we talk about food!

029: The Distance is Not It
It’s balmy as heck outside. Ellie is working hard and runnin’ real fast and Chris ran the Muddy Sneaker course (12.5 miles, lots of feets up and down!) One of us turned 29... and didn’t even have the decency to share the occasion with the other! Are you Race Fit? What is Race Fit? You wanna race? Depends on who’s asking. Thought so. :-) Also, how hard is it to make a few cups of rice?! For real. And avocados are sauce now. Support Hamstrings and Heartstrings: Running Talk with Chris and Ellie

It is the spookiest time of the year... so what better time than now for scary running stories? Chris and Ellie risk life and limb... and their restful slumber to share some of their skeeeery moments running. (And rest assured, these aren't like the real-life where people are threatened while running... that stuff is no joke! ❤️) And in the food segment, we make good on our promise to do a bit better with our preparations.Support Hamstrings and Heartstrings: Running Talk with Chris and EllieLinks:Courtney Dauwalter: Ultra running and candy identifying champion Fisher Cat Sounds - YouTube Don’t Hedge Your Bets - Ultrarunning Magazine

026: The Scone Spectrum
Ellie has a bee in her bonnet. She altered a workout and her scones aren't the greatest. And she's fine with it. This week, we talk about being mediocre. Or being okay with being mediocre. Or giving ourselves some space while figuring out what mediocre is. Regardless, we're pretty okay with okay, but also with okay with better.
