On top of this heat dome and humidity, Candian wildfires have pushed the AQI to dangerously high levels. It's making it tough for runners. In this episode, we talk about staying inside when AQI is this bad and also what we've been using to stay cool when it is safe to be out there: ice bandanas, cooling shirts, and ice in our vests

also, Altra sent me a shoe for the first time in a while


Michael Ko hosts the Kofuzi Run Club, a podcast that captures the spontaneous, unfiltered energy of daily conversations among runners. Recorded during live virtual sessions, each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a digital locker room where the topics flow as naturally as a long run. You'll hear the host and a rotating cast of guests-primarily runners from all corners of the community-discuss training philosophies, race-day triumphs and disasters, gear that works (and gear that doesn't), and the simple, shared joy found in putting one foot in front of the other. While running is the central thread, these chats often meander into life, motivation, and the unexpected connections forged through the sport. The format is intentionally loose and conversational, prioritizing genuine interaction over polished production. Listening to this podcast is less about receiving structured advice and more about being part of a ongoing, collective dialogue-a club where the miles and the thoughts are logged together, in real time. It’s the sound of the running community thinking out loud.
