Between Two Pines

After a short off-season, the boys of between the pines are back with multi-FKT-hoarder and Javelina Jundred CR holder Tara Dower. Plus, they ponder why marathons are getting shorter and ultramarathons are getting longer.   Shoutout to this month's delightful sponsor and personal favorite of BTP, Shokz headphones.

The boys finally landed the big one: runner, podcaster, author, and the most positive person in the world, Sally McRae. Choose strong and endure this delightful chat with the Yellow Runner herself. She debuts her new business venture: Horse Tongs Co. Plus, Dom and Andy plead you to stop DMing them (and their bosses) with your dumb running challenges.  

Well, it's 2026, and the year is off to its dumbest start yet. That's why the boys dragged Jamil Coury of Arid Viper Running back between the pines this month to talk about the global terror that is Burrito League. They also discuss their resolutions for the year as well as address the swirling scandal around the Hardrock lottery.

Dom and guest host Rachel Entrekin kick off the holidays by sorting ultra runners into naughty and nice — because taking your family to an exotic location is great, but not mentioning you're racing and they're crewing is a different vibe entirely. They also run through the gifts no trail runner wants to unwrap, from anti-chafe sticks laced with capsaicin to a lovingly framed photo of you mid-bonk....

Andy's off somewhere being Andy, so Rachel Entreken steps in to co-host alongside Dom for an episode that somehow manages to be both deeply philosophical and entirely unhinged. First up, Dom and Rachel power through the definitive list of ultrarunning superlatives, covering everything from best hair (Rajpal Pannu and Tim Tollefson, obviously) to who's secretly working for the government. It's chao...

Andy's out running 100 miles, so Dom brings in Rachel Entrekin to co-pilot this month's episode. Together they spiral through a truly unhinged game of "Would You Rather," debating if espresso + Benadryl is a performance enhancer, and why 13,200 Bottles of Beer on the Wall might be the ultimate race soundtrack. Then Jimmy Elam drops by to talk about popping his 200-mile cherry at the Mammoth, haunt...

Take our listener survey!  Dom and Andy are back with a mind-bending, occasionally stomach-turning episode of Between Two Pines. Dom recounts his very pukey Angeles Crest 100 experience (complete with landscape-mode vomit footage), while Andy reflects on the etiquette of awkward road-path drafting and the fine legal distinctions of fart assault. Then, the guys welcome ultrarunning phenom Rachel En...

The Boys are back, and going head to head with Joe Corcione of the Everyday Ultra podcast in an audio Thunderdome to the death.  Dom and Andy do something they've never done before, rip open the listener mailbag and read your letters live on air. From a runner overcoming cancer to toe-losing ultra veterans, to one very mysterious "K. Scheid" who may or may not be transforming into a goat, it's all...

Don't let the title fool you, Max Jolliffe doesn't want to be the king of anything. But the boy sit down with him between the pines this month anyway. Plus, they regale with stories of Utah 115 and preview all the people who will not be running Western States this year. Thanks to Dirtbag Bar and Janji for sponsoring Between two Pines!

Coming fresh off the most unusual (for them) but very popular New York City Marathon, the boys recount their favorite moments of the weekend.
