The premise

Here’s the bit.

Fred and Carrie seek a fitness coach to help them train for the Portland Marathon and escape their stressful fixation on news alerts. Bailey immediately praises Carrie’s running ability while urging Fred to abandon personal fitness. Her account of a runner’s high becomes an intimate promise to Carrie, until another alarming phone notification pulls the pair back into their old habit.
