Cat Bradley sits down with accomplished ultrarunner Anton Krupicka for a conversation about the world of ultrarunning and how both of their lives have been shaped by the sport. With back-to-back wins at Leadville in 2006 and 2007 at the beginning of his ultrarunning career and many competitive wins and podium finishes since then, Anton Krupicka’s running career is nothing short of amazing. He is not only a fast runner, though. “known for his long hair and beard as well as his minimalist approach to life,”-(the internet) Anton shares what makes him strive to accomplish great things and the story of his long career as an all-around mountain athlete, from injury to triumphs, and everything in between!

Cat and Carson sit down to recount the blood, gut, and glory of the Puerto Vallarta 100 miler (180 kilometers) by the UTMB world series. Cat set out looking for redemption after her DNF in Europe earlier this summer and to qualify for a spot in the 2023 UTMB with a podium finish, and Carson was along for the adventure. What they expected to be a fast, 18-22 hour finish turned into a 36-hour vision quest for both runner and crew. Cat ventured six miles off course and was greeted back on course by a puma. Carson put the rental car through the wringer on rugged backcountry roads and a stream crossing or two. Tune in to hear how Cat and Carson survived their trek through Mexico.

Here is the gear Cat depended on to survive
