This week on The Running Mullet Grayce and Eric - reunited again! We’re breaking down the Hills Creek Endurance Challenge—a race that sounds simple until you realize it’s just you, your thoughts, and the same 3-mile loop… over… and over… and over again. A scenic loop around a lake in Wellsboro, PA… mostly singletrack, just enough elevation to challenge you, and exactly enough visibility of the fin...

We’re joined by Amy Nelson, race organizer of the legendary Baker Trail Ultras. Here’s what truly sets this race apart: The Baker Trail Ultras are Trail Sisters Approved, and this race guarantees a 50% female entry field, a commitment that’s still rare in trail running. Each year, runners take on a different 50-mile section of the 130+ mile Baker Trail—north, central, and south—earning a piece of...

This week, Grayce is off on an adventure in the woods, so Eric has been left in charge… which is concerning. Rumor has it that there may be mystery host(s) but we're pretty sure they’re just Eric’s imaginary friends. Join us as we dive headfirst into a full Hyner recap: pain, pride, questionable decisions, and everything in between. Then, we pivot straight into some crazy summer race plans. Big mi...

This week on The Running Mullet, we recap the Roburrito Gut Run — a completely unserious event with very serious consequences. 13 miles. 4 Roburritos locations. 4 burritos that absolutely did not need to be eaten mid-run.

This week, we’re hitting the trails with Steph Leer, who boasts 25 years of running… TWENTY. FIVE. YEARS. That’s not a hobby. That’s a personality trait. That’s a lifestyle. That’s a condition.

Runners are many things, but surprisingly, runners are not good at… not running. This week on The Running Mullet – Episode 157, we tackle the nightmare scenario every runner eventually faces: Injury. How do you stay sane when you can’t run?

You know that moment when you set a goal… …and then accidentally obliterate it? That’s basically what happened when Gina Ruck showed up to Conquer the Wall with a simple plan: Run 100 miles.

This week on The Running Mullet, we’re celebrating a truly memorable day on the trails.

🎙️ This week on The Running Mullet… We’re bringing in a certified legend: Lisa Gesualdo—better known as Lisa Runsalot—who just casually took first place at Oakwood 24, a 6-hour race in NC. And, in true Lisa fashion, that performance also happened to be her 200th marathon-distance (or longer) event. At 56, she’s out-running excuses, expectations, and probably most of your Strava feed. Lisa is a for...
