He finished Kona by treating the marathon like survival and then turned around to stare down UM New Zealand with only weeks to build. Steve York is a 16-time Ironman finisher from New Zealand who calls himself “Joe Average,” and that’s exactly why his story hits so hard: it’s not about talent, it’s about choices, preparation, and refusing to quit when the easy option shows up.

We talk through the contrasts between the Ironman World Championship in Kona and the inaugural UM New Zealand in Wanaka, from heat and wind to elevation, roads, and run paths that can punish sloppy pacing. Steve rewinds to 1991, when he’s a police constable who buys a bike because coworkers are doing triathlons, then gets talked into an Ironman before he’s ever run farther than 10K. After a long break, he returns in 2012 and starts stacking years of consistent Ironman training that sets the foundation for ultra endurance goals like 515 racing.

The heart of this conversation is mindset under pressure. Steve breaks down the “dark thoughts” that hit during events like the Maxi Enduro and the Cape to Bluff ride, plus the unforgettable UM Australia beach finish where seconds matter and community support becomes rocket fuel. We also get into the unsexy work that drives improvement: more run volume, better self-talk, and fixing desk-job imbalances like tight hip flexors and lower back pain.

Finally, Steve shares what it means to him to be Maori in a sport where representation is rare, and why he uses endurance sport as a health-forward example for his kids and his wider community.

She leaves high frequency trading, signs with Nike, and still decides the best way to grow is to suffer through 515 km over three days. He starts running at odd hours so nobody will see him at 135 kg, then turns that discipline into Ironman finishes, Ultraman finishes, and a memoir called The Silent Miles. This is a double athlete profile that lands on one big idea: endurance is less about talent than it is about identity, community, and the reasons you choose when results do not go your way.

We talk with Calypso Sheridan about what it actually means to be a hybrid athlete in 2026, how she prioritizes HYROX-style racing and modern pentathlon while using UM New Zealand as a mental proving ground, and why process beats outcome when you want longevity. She breaks down modern pentathlon in plain English, including the obstacle course format and the laser run, plus the reality of chasing a 2028 Olympics goal through a tight Oceania qualification pathway.

Then Vishesh Maden joins from India to share the constraints most Western athletes never have to consider: safer cycling routes, limited pool access for long swims, and the extra planning that comes with international racing. We dig into how he balances his United Airlines data analyst role with training consistency, how he uses data to pace Ultraman, and what “silent miles” really mean when you are alone with your thoughts at 3 a.m.

Get ready for a massive shakeup in the global ultra-endurance community! In this exclusive double-feature episode, host Larry breaks down the major multi-day triathlon announcements shaping the 2027 racing calendar across two continents.

First, Larry sits down with veteran ultra-athlete and race organizer Bill Justus to announce the launch of UM Canada 515, taking place in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, from July 23–25, 2027. Bill pulls back the curtain on why he is launching this premium independent race on the exact same weekend as a legacy ultra-event, how he is designing a safer course that eliminates notorious highway hazard zones, and how he plans to modernize the athlete experience using next-gen technology.

Then, we cross the Atlantic to Wales to catch up with the past, present, and future of the independent UK ultra circuit. Outgoing Race Director Ben Peresson introducing the new leadership team—Dan Thompson and Jon Fairhurst—who are officially acquiring the brand and resurrecting the historic UM UK 515 in Snowdonia, from September 3–5, 2027. Dan and Jon share their passion as 2023 finishers, breaking down the brutal beauty of a single-loop mountain course and explaining how shorter distances and relay options will open the sport to a whole new wave of athletes.

Whether you are a seasoned Ultraman veteran, an Ironman finisher looking for your next epic milestone, or an endurance crew chief, this episode is your ultimate roadmap to the future of 515-distance racing.

87.317 miles (AG World Record) in 12 hours on a hard indoor loop at age 56 is the kind of result that makes you ask a better question than “how tough is he?”  I sat down with James Scanlan to learn how a masters endurance athlete actually builds that kind of durability, and why the secret is rarely a secret, it’s patient execution.

We dig into Six Days In The Dome and the nitty gritty of timed ultrarunning: why even effort beats early adrenaline, how James uses lap-by-lap feedback instead of GPS, and what “high zone 2” really looks like when you’re trying to hold form deep into hour ten. He also shares a refreshingly simple ultrarunning nutrition approach built on steady calories, homemade sugar water with salt, and foods he can chew for hours without wrecking his stomach.

From there, we zoom out to the bigger engine. James explains how he ladders races from short track efforts to marathons and 100Ks, stacks long bike rides to boost fatigue resistance, and trains the unglamorous metabolic side of endurance like fat oxidation and late-race energy production. We also talk UTMB CCC prep, Ultraman strategy, cold-water problem solving for UM New Zealand, and how wearables fit when you care about VO2 max, HRV, and recovery without becoming a slave to the data.

Pain is one thing. Earning the right to keep moving is another. Bill Justus has spent five decades building an endurance life that refuses to shrink, and at 63 he’s still lining up for brutal challenges for one simple reason: he still can.

We talk through Bill’s mindset when the pain cave hits and how gratitude becomes a real performance tool, especially after facing cancer and CIDP. Then we get into the deep cuts from a legendary racing resume: old-school triathlon days before modern fueling, the thin-air grind of Pikes Peak, and the Canadian Death Race where a tiny coin and a cold river crossing become part of the myth. Along the way, Bill shares what it was like racing the Haney to Harrison 100 and meeting Steve King long before most people knew him as the voice of Ultraman.

The heart of the conversation is Ultraman Canada and the hard reality of shoulder surgery recovery. Bill breaks down two major rotator cuff injuries, the fight to complete the 10K swim, the moment his body stopped cooperating on the bike, and why choosing an honorable DNF can be the smartest move for long-term health. We also highlight the power of a great crew, what it means to show up anyway, and how to keep your identity intact when the day doesn’t go to plan.

Finally, Bill tells the story that changed thousands of Saturday mornings: bringing Parkrun to Canada in 2016 and helping grow a nationwide community of free weekly 5Ks built on accountability, volunteering, and friendship.

He remembers chatting on the Hawaii bike course and then waking up in a hospital. That missing chapter is the start of an unforgettable story with Ultraman veteran, coach, and Scottyfit.com founder Scott McDermott, whose Kona crash left him with a severe traumatic brain injury, shattered bones, and a recovery that doctors said should not have been possible.

We talk about what rebuild actually looks like: navigating the medical system, learning to train again without ego, and using tools like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and easy cardio to regain capacity. Scott also shares his coaching philosophy, why he always keeps coaches of his own, and a practical “green day, yellow day, red day” approach to training that helps endurance athletes stay consistent while respecting illness, stress, and recovery.

The heart of the conversation goes deeper than triathlon. Scott connects childhood trauma, the need to feel “good enough,” and how ultra endurance can become a proving ground that never pays off emotionally. That realization reshaped his documentary “Living the World Code” into a film about identity, resilience, and choosing to race for joy instead of approval. We also get into the mental side of getting back on a bike at speed, racing at 57, and why he is returning to the Ultraman World Championship with unfinished business.

Nearly 24 hours in open water changes what you think you know about fear, focus, and what you are capable of. Ted Lomicka joins us from Franklin, Tennessee to tell the story of completing the Triple Maui Nui, a nonstop three channel swim from Lanai to Maui to Molokai and back again. Ted describes starting in a thunderstorm, navigating bioluminescent “stars” below when clouds hide the real ones, then facing cold brackish water near Molokai alongside the threat of a shark fin. At his lowest point, a captain’s short question reframes the choice and gets him moving again. On the final leg, sensory deprivation gives way to awe when a baby humpback whale swims beneath him and meets his eye, a moment that turns endurance into meaning and seals the lesson: dream big, live the dream, and share the dream.

Ted is also a healthcare executive and an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University, so we zoom out from the ocean to the real world impact of innovation leadership. We dig into ambient AI scribes in healthcare, how AI drafted notes can improve physician patient communication, and why giving clinicians 30 to 90 minutes back each night can boost satisfaction, retention, and outcomes. Along the way, Ted shares how he evaluates new ideas: technologically feasible, clinically relevant, financially viable, and scalable, then pilot small and iterate fast.

The heart of our conversation is mindset. Ted breaks down the framework behind his upcoming book, First Of Five: The Five Hammers Of A Do Anything Mindset, forged in ultra distance triathlon at the Anvil race series. We unpack the hammer of passion, humility, mindfulness, equanimity, and transcendence, plus the idea of overriding the “evolutionary governor” when your body insists it is done. If you care about endurance training, Ultraman, channel swimming in Hawaii, or performing under pressure at work, this one is built to stick with you.

Ray Zahab didn’t grow up as the unstoppable endurance athlete people imagine when they hear “ultramarathoner” and “explorer.” He describes starting over around age 30, quitting a pack-a-day smoking habit, and following his younger brother into the outdoors until movement turned into purpose. That path eventually leads to one of the most jaw-dropping feats in endurance sports: running the length of the Sahara Desert, roughly 7,500 kilometers, day after day for 111 days.

We get into what actually makes extreme endurance possible when the novelty wears off. Ray explains why removing expectations can unlock performance, how preparation and process beat bravado, and why he’s careful about choosing expedition teammates who can leave ego at the door. He also shares how the “chosen hardship” of races and expeditions helped him face something he didn’t choose at all: a rare blood cancer diagnosis and months of chemotherapy, approached with the same step-by-step resilience he learned outdoors.

The episode goes deep on logistics and safety, from cutting pack weight for a self-contained Atacama Desert crossing to building a polar bear perimeter alarm system on Arctic sea ice. You’ll hear what it means to respect the environment, when to turn around even after huge effort, and how Ray’s nonprofit impossible2Possible brings free, education-driven expeditions to youth ages 16 to 21 around the world.

If you’re into ultrarunning, adventure racing, expedition planning, mental toughness, or simply changing your life through movement, this conversation will stick with you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge toward something hard, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

We sit down with Ultraman Australia’s 2026 champions, Mark Thomson and Nat Dodd, to unpack how they manage 515 kilometers across three days in Noosa with calm pacing, tight recovery routines, and crews that never miss a beat.

Mark Thomson joins from New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula and breaks down how a first-time Ultraman athlete paces like a veteran: conservative swimming, steady biking by feel, and relentless fueling that protects day three. We talk crew roles, staying calm when the leaderboard is separated by seconds, and what it’s like to have a school community tracking you through a 515-kilometer endurance test. Then we get into the closer: his run plan and the mindset behind dropping a sub-7-hour double marathon after two days of racing.

Nat Dodd, also from New Zealand, shares the other side of the podium and the same core truth: execution beats drama. She explains the nutrition shift that finally solved race-day GI issues, her swim feeding routine with a paddler, and how her crew’s energy kept her from going dark. We also talk pacing discipline on the double marathon, her “lungefluencer” moment on course, workplace support, and what she’s considering next, from Ultraman New Zealand to a return to the Ironman World Championship.

Be sure to check out all the action from the YouTube Livestream.

515 kilometers can sound like a number. In Noosa, it turns into three days of decisions: how you fuel a 10 km ocean swim, how you survive a 276 km bike loop through the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and how you keep moving when the double marathon starts to ask harder questions than your training ever did.

We’re joined by Ultraman Australia race director Jeff Morris and KOA endurance coach and event MC Tim Franklin to preview Ultraman Australia 2026 from the ground up. We lay out the full 515 triathlon format and cutoffs, explain why the calendar dates differ depending on where you live, and share exactly how to follow along on the YouTube livestream. This year’s coverage gets a major boost with live GPS tracking (even during the swim when signals allow), planned drone shots at sunrise, and crews calling in live so viewers at home can feel the real-time pressure and emotion on course.

Jeff also gives a progress update on Ultraman New Zealand in Wanaka.  Then we get into the heart of race week: the 2026 field. From returning athletes chasing redemption to first-timers stepping up from Ironman to Ultraman, we spotlight what makes each competitor interesting, what crews need to know, and why Noosa’s swim conditions and paddler support can shape the entire weekend.
