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.

It’s been a minute, but they are back!
Episode 74 is what everyone has been waiting for since the beginning – The Gretchen Show! #Viewsfromthecouch and a big training update. This is all about Gretchen this time and you don’t want to miss it.
Oh, Pete is there too. But the real question is, “What is a ‘streak mile’ anyway?”

Episode 73 is packed with entertainment! Ok, maybe not, but it’s uploaded.
Gretchen starts us out with the usual #viewsfromthecouch before updating us on her “training.” Does getting a note from Coach Andy count as starting training for the 10K?
Pete updates his training, talks about the May Reset, and even answers a couple of listener questions. Pete also plugs his upcoming 50K at the Badger Trail Races in Wisconsin. There is still time to join him. Then the couple debates Rob’s idea of running at the Biltmore. You can guess who doesn’t love that idea!
Finally, we get an update on weight loss and food choices. Both Gretchen and Pete are experiencing food fatigue. Losing weight is exhausting and it has caught up with them. What is the plan to fix it?

Episode 72 is a little light on #viewsfromthecouch and Gretchen even breaks some crazy news about a loyal listener and patron. Could this revelation be true?
Pete updates us on his #Mayreset, including a tough week at work and how he fit in his training. His runs should really be a part of “When Animals Attack.”
Finally, the couple gets into their review of the movie Free Solo. And it is a take that only they would come up with, so don’t miss it.

Yes, journey is back, and so is Gretchen’s famous #viewsfromthecouch. This week she honors a listener request and gets deep into two shows.
The bulk of the episode is about Pete’s recent blog posts. He has puzzled through so much of what’s happening inside that he is now ready for solutions. Pete’s May Reset comes none too soon!

Gretchen’s longest #viewsfromthecouch ever is the big story of episode 70. She came prepared with notes on a ton of shows. She also gets really worked up about one of them. Pete chimes in with his usual nonsense before they reveal Gretchen’s 10K race. Not surprisingly, she wants to minimize the training effort to get there.
Pete talks about his complete lack of training and how legitimate reasons have morphed into excuses. Will he get back on track? For his sake, he better!
Tune in next time to see if Gretchen gets her way and “journey” is back.

Episode 69 is all about Gretchen and the return of #viewsfromthecouch! Or at least the first 15 minutes is, and we know people cannot wait.
Lots of surprises in this episode, including a Gretchen eye roll, Pete changing jobs, a coaching change, and some training updates. OK, not all of those are surprises, but still.
Then Pete turns the subject to his new food philosophy - #NPF. Moving on from the uber-restrictive sounding #NSNG (No Sugar No Grains), he outlines why #NPF (No Processed Food) fits better into what they are really trying to do. He also has a clunky “everyone has a different furnace” analogy to explain why things are not as simple as calories in/calories out for weight loss.
Finally, Gretchen gets on Pete about finding a 10K for her to run. She’s really looking forward to training. (We almost typed that with a straight face.)
