It’s been a minute.

In this episode, Dusty gives a real, unfiltered update on where his journey is right now, physically, mentally, and emotionally. After years of marathon pacing, long-distance running, and living in constant training cycles, things are shifting. Recovery from skin surgery has been longer than expected. Strength has faded. Nutrition has drifted. And the old routines that once worked aren’t delivering the same results anymore.

Dusty talks openly about stepping away from heavy pacing schedules, why running nonstop doesn’t automatically equal fat loss, and how fueling for endurance slowly pulled him back toward carbs, sugar, and constant hunger. He shares why strength training is becoming the new focus, especially after turning 40, and why learning your personal rhythm matters more than blindly following what worked before.

This episode is also about uncertainty. About not having everything figured out. About navigating changing seasons, privacy on social media, shifting goals, and the reality that you can’t outwork a bad diet no matter how many miles you log.

If you’ve ever felt like what once worked suddenly stopped working, this one’s for you.

Because the journey doesn’t end, it evolves. And sometimes the real work is knowing when to pivot.

Thanks for listening. We’ll figure it out together.
