Our Wedding Recap! A 5K, Burnt Veil, and Wedding Crashers

After 8 episodes of wedding-season training talk, Alex and Alexis are officially married! In this episode of For Better or For Worse, they break down their entire wedding week in Prince Edward Island: a 16-act talent show, a surprise 5K run, a burnt wedding veil, an unexpected blessing from the Pope, and six uninvited wedding crashers. They also cover how they each balanced training with wedding week chaos, share their Rose & Thorn moments, debate whether crashing a wedding is ever okay, and answer a listener question on training by heart rate vs. pace.
