The Ultra Crewed Podcast

* Not for audio listening Of course. Same thing, just now with a little personality so people don’t feel like they’re being scolded by a disappointed gym teacher. You can’t out-train a messy life. This episode gets into the stuff people don’t want to hear—how your habits, mindset, and personal growth (or lack of it) show up when things get hard in a race.

You can’t out-train a messy life. This episode gets into the stuff people don’t want to hear—how your habits, mindset, and personal growth (or lack of it) show up when things get hard in a race. You can follow the perfect training plan, hit all your miles, and still fall apart the moment things stop going your way, because training doesn’t magically fix inconsistency, avoidance, or your ability to...

* Not for Apple or Spotify listening This week we talk about what it really looks like getting the property ready for Big Al’s and Snaketail. Trails buried in storm debris, dragging piles of limbs off the hills, a tractor deciding to break right when we needed it most, and Jon getting into a philosophical disagreement with an ACE Hardware employee about chainsaw chains. In between the chainsaws an...

In this episode, we set out to talk about ultra running… and immediately don’t. Instead, we get into where we’ve been mentally lately—which is somewhere between “functioning adult” and “staring into the void but still mowing the yard.” Turns out you can have everything technically fine and still feel completely off. Love that for us. We also discover that a broken chainsaw is basically the perfect...

* not for listening on Apple In this episode Jon and I are back with a new setup, strong coffee, and absolutely no shortage of opinions. We talk Music City Trail Ultra, questionable aid station pickle etiquette, a brand we’re genuinely obsessed with, and some of the wildest recent chaos in the running world—from wrong turns and race drama to medals, integrity, and the real risks people love to ign...

We talk Music City Trail Ultra, questionable aid station pickle etiquette, a brand we’re genuinely obsessed with, and some of the wildest recent chaos in the running world—from wrong turns and race drama to medals, integrity, and the real risks people love to ignore. It’s a little ridiculous...

This week: we officially got moved. Not “we’re almost there.” Not “we’re transitioning.” Fully moved. Living at the farm. Yes, the one affectionately (or concerningly) nicknamed Murder Mile. Which sounds like a true crime podcast but is actually just… our address now. We’re talking about what it feels like when a place stops being an idea and becomes your real, everyday life. The mental shift. The...

This week we’re recording our final episode from the original Murder Miles studio — don’t panic, we’re not leaving Nashville, we’re just relocating operations like slightly more organized feral adults. What starts as a sentimental moment about neighborhood miles and familiar running routes quickly devolves into chainsaw talk, masculinity rants, gluten grievances, and a full-blown debate about whet...

This week, things got... real. Like, power-outage-tree-across-the-road-hope-is-flickering real. We talk through how we navigated the unexpected ice storm that knocked out power across Nashville, how it exposed just how prepared (or not) we really were, and why mindset matters way more than how many AA batteries you can cram in a buggy at Home Depot. From scrambling for firewood and testing a firep...

Jon celebrates a long awaited milestone: new pants. Unfortunately, they’re loud enough to ruin any chance of sneaking through the house, and somehow spark a full blown color theory debate that turns into relationship counseling for your living room decor. Meanwhile, Becca’s dealing with a brutal tailbone injury that has her sidelined from running and learning way more about “pressure relief” than...

Kicking off 2026 with real talk about why they don’t believe in resolutions, why comparison and “motivation culture” miss the mark, and what actually creates change when a calendar flips. Becca shares a recent solo scramble in search of a cave that turns into a lesson on risk, confidence, and knowing when to pull back.
