We're back for an Ask Us Anything episode, and this one might be our most entertaining yet. My husband Johnny joined me behind the mic, and let’s just say—we aired a little bit of dirty laundry along the way.

You all sent in fantastic questions covering everything from running to parenthood to guilty-pleasure TV shows, and we had so much fun answering them. Here’s a taste of what came up:

• Were you angry when Johnny registered you as a 45–49 year old male for a 10-mile race?
• How is training going for The Marathon Project?
• What was our very first race, and how did we get into running?
• How did we juggle training when our kids were little?
• What’s the most annoying race-day habit we each have?
• Do we actually like running together?
• Which “famous person” would we love to go for a run with, and what would we ask them?
• Rookie stats, running vacations, pacing animals, favourite date nights…we covered it all.

This episode is equal parts running talk, marriage banter, and plenty of laughs. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes in the Coffin household, this is your chance to find out.

If you enjoyed this format, let us know—we’re happy to bring back more AMA episodes in the future!
