Mahmoud Bahrani, relentlessly efficient at either a sprint or jog because he listened to Coach, joins to talk about his experiences as a competitive high school and college runner, how those are informing his current philosophies and training plans as a high school track and cross country coach, and the difficulties of understanding or communicating timescales of improvement.

This is part 1 of 2 with Mahmoud; part 2 will be released in 2 weeks for more discussion on his marathon performances, books, and probably more complaining about the everlasting disappointment of Chicago sports fandom.

The Fish Golf Brah-dcast is a series of conversations with people in disc golf, who don’t always have to talk about disc golf. When there’s no defined topic, everything is on-topic, including taunting other players and dogs. Episodes will be released weekly throughout the 2025 season.

New for 2025, Fish will be at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Disc East Expo⁠⁠⁠⁠ January 25-26, including a LIVE recording of the Fish Golf Brah-dcast with special guest Simon Lizotte. Get your tickets and make your plans now for the event with other pros, vendors, clinics and seminars, and a brief indoor respite from the harsh winter!
