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.

The Javelina Jundred will be my second 100 miler and I have learned some much in the time since The Canyons Endurance Runs.

In this episode I want to tell you the 7 major changes Im making in this training block as well as how I built out my 16 week block.

We are now in Week 1 of that block and this will help give some context to the things we will be talking about over the next few weeks.

I don't know how it happen, but this week had a pretty big focus on my sobriety, my struggles and how it all fits into my training as I prepare for the Javelina Jundred.

This week we will talk about my training over the last week or so, how my training has changed, and my nutrition plan moving forward.

This week I got to sit down with Long Island ultra runner Nicky Dupkin. Nicky isn't following the path of normal 20 year olds. While his peers are out chasing the night life, Nicky is in his bed at 7pm preparing for an early morning long run. Why? Simple put, he wants to be one of the best.

After finding out about running from Goggins, Nicky walked on to his college cross country team just wanting to get in shape and make some changes in his life. He had no idea that the world of ultra marathon even existed.

Fast forward 1 year, Nicky took 5th place in his first 50k with a sub 4:20 performance and 2nd at the Shore to Shore 50k here on long Island. By his own admission, he has a ton to learn and is very excited to see where more consistent training and experience will bring him.

I cant wait to see where this kid ends up. He has all the makings of a champion. It's not if, but when!

Andy Glaze is an Father and Fire Fighter, but is probably most known for his running career as an ultra runner. At the time of this recording Andy had run at least 100 miles every week for the past 219 weeks and the streak continues.

In this episode, we talked about the impact of running on other people, the power of social media, amazing 100's you may not know about, and what the future looks like for ultra running.

In this weeks episode we will talk about why I ran a 50k on a track and the new shoes I've been running road with.

This past week I took on the Snow Peaks 50 Miler formerly known as the Squaw Peak 50 Miler in Provo Utah. Coming from Long Island I was blown away by the views and terrain.

I definitely didnt have the race that I was hoping for as performance. The heat and altitude sure did get the best of me, but with the help of some friends and an amazing pacer I was able to get to the line!

In this episode I want to break down the highs and lows of the race and some things I will take away from it to help you in your next race.
