Ary Rochon is a huge part of the Florida Ultrarunning Community, a FUR.  He is coming off a big win at the Lake to Ocean 100K that takes place in late May from Lake Okeechobee to Hobe Sound Beach along the Lake to Ocean Trail.  This is one of the most iconic races in Florida because of the variation of habitats, the challenging terrain which sometimes consists of significant amounts of water, and...

Stephanie Rosebaugh is a friend from Arizona.  Her ultrarunning story takes a little different trajectory than most.  Coming off her 2nd Cocodona 250 finish a few weeks ago, she joins me to help me remember that I am enough, share lots of running stories about 200's and BYU's.  We also talk about her book, coming out very soon, The Power of Enough.  If you can suffer through my therapy i...

On this episode, I sit down with ultrarunning legend Ann Trason for a conversation spanning the roots of the sport to where it stands today.  Ann shares what it was like growing up before Title IX, competing alongside the boys in school, discovering ultrarunning through her first ultra, and the resilience it took to overcome DNF's in her first two attempts at Western States before becoming on...

Cody Warren is an entrepreneur and ultrarunner from Ohio.  I met him in person during Keys 100 in 2023.  We had met through Harvey Lewis on social media before that.  He is a humble and passionate fan of the sport, a family man, and just a real treat to get to know.  He's getting ready to toe the line at Cocodona 250 in just 2 days and I am confident he will do well.  He has put in the work. ...

The Watters family from Alabama are Bob and Heather (the parents), and Ana and Larkin (the future of Alabama ultras for years to come, no pressure...ha-ha).  Bob has done pretty much all of the tough trail 100 milers in the southeast as well as a couple 200's, including Southern States inaugural year.  Larkin just finished the SS200 this year with the help of the whole family and a few other...

Dan Hilliard from South Florida just finished his first 100 miler recently at Hungryland 100 down near Lake Okechobee in South Florida.  The RD is our good friend Mikey Bee and this is no easy first race.  It's a beautiful area with no light pollution and other city disturbances.  Also home to the largest gator I've ever seen.  Dan is an interesting, humble guy, coached by Chris and Ivi...

Martin Schneekloth from Alabama by way of Germany has literally run hundreds of ultramarathons including most of the really hard mountain races in the world.  That's his jam.  He has his own YouTube channel called Ultra Kraut Running with many of his race highlights and scenery.  He has more stories than we can fit into 1 episode, but we tried.  Enjoy! @ultrakraut (1793) Ultra Kraut Running -...

I had a really fun chat with Nicole Coccia!  35 year old mother of 7, less than 2 years into her ultra-running career and 4/5 on victories.  Not a bad start.  Nicole has wins at Keys 100, Daytona 100, Long Haul 100, and Tik Tok 12 hour.  Her only other ultra was a 4th at Blood Rock 100 and there's a story.  She comes from a sales background, so she's not shy and doesn't lack confide...

Marie Torres affectionately known as Ruth Pearl just finished her first 100 miler at Long Haul, last weekend.  She had a DNF last year at 75ish miles and while she did get sweet redemption, it was way more than that.  Hear it from her.  Enjoy and share.

I don't have to tell you what the Western States Endurance Run means to the ultrarunning community.  It is the super bowl, the Boston Marathon, World Cup, the World Series.....  And if you've listened to me gushing about the race and the energy on this podcast over the years, you will know how I feel about it.  Two amazing people, Carrie Meng, Assistant Race Director, finisher, and all a...

I met Shauna during her first 100 miler at Long Haul 100 earlier this year.  Most people, regardless of the training, struggle during the last 15-20 miles of their first 100.  She may have too, but she sure didn't show it.  She was well prepared with awesome coaching, and has the grit required to accomplish big things in the ultra world.  Her enthusiasm for our sport is infectious.  Enjoy! @u...

I've been trying to connect with Manuela Vilaseca since before the Triple Crown started this year, but when Moab 240 was over and she was crowned the champ and new record holder, it seemed like it was obviously time.  The 6 hour time difference took some planning, but we made it happen and I am so glad we did.  Enjoy! @manuvilaseca @teampeakrun Peak Run Performance | Professional Online Runni...

Hey friends.  This is starting to feel a little self-serving and cheesy.  I will probably not do another episode until I can line up an awesome guest to give some tips on dealing with the issues I have been facing.  I'm gonna try and line up Tonya to discuss aches and pains and weakness identification, Amy for mindset, and hopefully a veteran at 100 mile training for overall experience lesson...
