Episode 84 sees the return of #viewsfromthecouch, including some This Is Us spoilers, so listen with caution.
Then Gretchen recaps her latest shot at a 5K PR. Pete ran too with Michaela in a stroller. Even Michaela got in the running spirit with her first official race – a 50-yard dash!
The echo the couple talks about doesn’t seem to come through in the finished product. If it sounds bad, let them know. But remember, it’s free.

In what’s become an all-too-common theme, Pete & Gretchen are back after a brief hiatus. Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch will be back soon, but the couple concentrated on training in this episode.
Gretchen has faced some physical challenges. Is her race in a week on the line? Pete hasn’t had an easy time of it either. Is he throwing out his goal?
Pete opens up about his continued battle with depression. He talks about a link between processed sugar and depression, and how it is worse for me. Processed sugar, in this case, literally acts like a drug. Not a great cycle. How will he overcome?
Finally, the couple talks about the terrible Bill Maher take on fat-shaming. No surprise neither is happy with Mr. Maher’s take, but Pete is downright angry.

After a little break, Gretchen and Pete are back! This time Pete kicks off the first segment of the show with some insight on his guest visit with the Ten Junk Miles podcast crew. That episode will be out soon, so check it out!
He also let on why it has been a minute since they recorded, and it is all on Pete. He has been quietly and secretly working on a new podcast – The No Fear Project – and was pretty much consumed with it. Now that the cat is out of the bag, FMC is back and look for regular episodes again.
Then the show really starts with Gretchen’s #viewsfromthecouch and a training up. Spoiler alert – Gretchen has gotten fast. How does Pete feel about that? And why is he handed out unsolicited, likely wrong coaching advice? He’s a bit jealous! But really happy for her.
Pete updates his training a bit. More importantly, his eating is off track and he vows to fix it. Now.
Finally, the couple dives into a little about a DNA diet plan and the FDA’s approval of Allulose. Interesting stuff to close out the show.

Gretchen is back for episode 80! The episode kicks off with a big #viewsfromthecouch segment to get caught up. Then we get to hear all about Gretchen’s training. With no fear of spoiling anything, she isn’t thrilled with the plan still. Coach Andy’s plan is great, she just doesn’t want to do it. But wants the results. We can all dream.
Pete catches us up on training for his 5K PR attempt. Then he brings up a controversy with the new WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) Kurbo weight loss app aimed at kids 8 to 17 years of age. The couple discusses the obesity epidemic, the merits and dangers of the app, and what we can do to help kids get healthy.

Episode 76 is, well, an unfortunate glimpse into what ails Pete and Gretchen. The couple recaps a not so healthy past week, a water issue in the basement, and some tough times in training. It’s so bad that there isn’t even a proper #viewsfromthecouch! (Fear not, it’ll be back and better than ever.)

Episode 75 continues the deep dive into Gretchen’s training for her upcoming 10K. Pete jumps in with some training updates and some unsolicited, and possibly wrong, training advice. Sorry, Coach Andy.
As usual, there is wine, #viewsfromthecouch, and plenty of light moments. The big takeaway – she really doesn’t like running.
