This episode will recap the SRC Backyard Ultra going down on Long Island NY. In a backyard ultra competitors much complete a 4.17 mile loop on the hour every hour! Faster you go, the more rest you have until the top of the next hour. This continues until everyone quits and only one runner remains. The runners dictate the finish line.

This race is not about speed. It is about determination and survival. Its mental warfare and strategy. It's so simple that it will drive people crazy.

This year I got myself a new backyard ultra PR!

See you in the discord!

So much to talk about this week as we start to come to the end of 2024. I have learned so much and I want to share some things with you that have been coming into perspective over the last few weeks.

We got a backyard ultra coming on December 14th. Let's talk about how that's going to shake out.

Lastly let's start looking ahead to our next big ultra marathon.

Today I want to talk through a little bit of what has been going on with me mentally over the past month or so. Many have called it "post race blues" which man people feel after so many months leading into a big event and are left feeling a little lost.

Many have told me that I am going through post race blues coming off the Javelina Jundred but I think it is more detailed than that.

Let me know what you think and thank you always for listening!

This podcast will break down the 2024 Javelina Jundred 100!

This week we are talking about the final weeks leading in the Javelina Jundred 100 Mile trail race in Arizona.

In this episode I break down how I have been preparing for the heat, primarily using the sauna.

I will also talk about how I am tapering for this race, my kit, nutrition, and race strategy.

I hope you enjoy.

This week is jam packed full of ultra marathon tips. I learned so much when I was training for Canyons, but this time training for Javelina Jundred has been one learning experience after another.

I want to talk the last few weeks of training and the high and lows that came and how I battled through the lows.

We end with a 6 Hour, as miles as you can run, race I ran today. I PRed my marathon and 50k to finish on the podium. Want to know how many miles? Oh, it's in there.

There is a lot to talk about this week. We are 8 weeks out from Javelina Jundred and base training is about to come to an end. With that I high some high milage as apart of my AT adventure hitting my first 100 mile training week ever. I do not plan to continue with this volume and I will talk about why.

This week I took on the NJ Segment of the Appalachian Trail in the hopes of finishing it in less than 24 hours.

In this episode I will talk about that 24 hour adventure with my buddy Jake. Ill talk about the logistics of this trip, how we chose our direction, the things I learned, the unforgettable experiences I had, and how this works into my training for the Javelina Jundred in October.

July was an amazing month filled with a ton of adventure. I was blessed with the opportunity to crew and pace and two amazing summer ultra marathons. First I headed up to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to pace the Jigger Johnson 100 milers put on by white mountain endurance and aravipia!

In this weeks episode I will break down the entire week 1 of 16 leading in the sub 24 hour attempt at the Javelina Jundred. With a solid week of training behind me, I will also look ahead to week 2 which includes pacing the Jigger Johnson 100 miler for my buddy Ryan.
