Cocodona Mini Series Ep. 5 - "No One Nails the 200: Kevin Goldberg on Sleep, Suffering & Staying in the Game"


Listen Later

What happens when you've run 10 races over 200 miles — and still don’t feel like you’ve nailed one? In this episode, ultra veteran Kevin Goldberg opens up about his journey through the world of 200s, with a spotlight on Cocodona. From sleep deprivation spirals to blasting Taylor Swift on repeat in the Alps, Kevin gets real about the mental and physical toll of these races — and the joy, chaos, and growth that come with them.

Corinne and Kevin dive into strategy, recovery, caffeine dosing, and the evolving competition at Cocodona 2025. He shares why he keeps coming back, his goal of finishing in 65 hours, and why staying connected (literally — in the livestream chat mid-race) is part of his racing identity.

Plus, bold race predictions, personal rituals, and why believing longer might be the secret to breaking through.
