In this episode of The I Don’t Know Running Podcast, we dive into Mitch’s challenging road to recovery after Achilles surgery—complete with crutch mishaps, stair struggles, and a tricked-out knee scooter. 🏥💪

But that’s not all! We also geek out over the insane records being shattered in February, including Jacob Kiplimo’s mind-blowing half marathon time and Grant Fisher’s dominance on the track. How fast is too fast? And could YOU walk a 5K faster than a runner? 🤯
