EP178 -The Wolf Runs Far: Jackson Wolf on Badwater 135, 200-Milers, and Mental Strength
This week on the Run the Riot Podcast, we’re joined by ultrarunner and ultrarunning coach Jackson Wolf, fresh off the legendary Badwater 135. We catch up with Jackson as he bounces between major ultras, pacing gigs, and planning his next adventures, including new races with Rougarou Running.
Jackson shares:
• A raw recap of his 2024 Badwater 135 experience
• Thoughts on struggling with sleep deprivation at Badwater, despite success at races like Cocodona 250 and Oregon 200
• His unique approach to training: racing as training vs traditional long runs
• Valuable lessons in mental toughness, race problem-solving, and how stoic philosophy transformed his racing mindset
• Transitioning from triathlete to elite ultrarunner
• Planning new ultra events in Mississippi and Louisiana, including a Last Person Standing race
• Balancing elite-level running with life as a coach, traveler, and even professional gambler
This episode is packed with insights on mindset, resilience, race strategy, and learning to thrive in the chaos of ultra racing. Whether you’re an experienced ultrarunner or just breaking into long distances, Jackson’s perspective will resonate.
