We are kicking off the 9th year of the CATS 50k training program, and we are gonna try something new this year - a podcast! Instead of making it to some bar on a Tuesday night in January, now you can just put your earbuds in, head out on a run, and get inspired to train and prepare for your first trail ultramarathon - the Promise Land 50k on April 26th, 2024.

Danton and Jimmie discuss their first entry into ultrarunning 13 years ago, all the things we didn't know, and what we would do differently. Music: Feeling Sad by Jimmie Rhoades, Danton, and Rusty Rhoades from our Hellgate video a few years back.

This is the first in a series of podcasts about our training program.

Our first group run will be on Saturday Jan 11th, location TBA.
