- Desert Peak Ultra 2026 Recap, Western States 100 Training, and How To Be Stronger in Ultras
In this episode, I’m giving a full behind-the-scenes recap of the first-ever Desert Peak Ultra, plus an honest update on my Western States 100 training block.
This one gets into the real stuff: the magic of watching runners cross the finish line, the chaos of putting on a first-year race, the lessons we learned, and why doing hard things in life can actually make you a stronger ultrarunner.
I also break down how I’ve been navigating training through life stress, low sleep, race directing, travel, and big goals — and why sometimes the smartest move is not to force the work, but to honor recovery so you can come back stronger.
In this episode, I cover:
- How my Western States 100 training has been going
- Why “flex deloads” can be a game-changer for busy ultrarunners
- The biggest lessons from putting on Desert Peak Ultra
- The moments from race weekend that made all the exhaustion worth it
- What we’re improving for Desert Peak next year
- Why life challenges can become fuel during an ultra
- How to reframe hard races when life already feels heavy
- A sneak peek at what’s coming next for Desert Peak Ultra
Whether you’re training for a big race, trying to balance life with running, or chasing something that scares you, this episode is a reminder that the hard stuff is often what changes you the most.

1 hr 12 min - How Running on Roads Can Make You Stronger on Trails
A lot of trail and ultra runners think more vert, more technical terrain, and more climbing is always the answer.
Not so fast.
In this episode, I break down why running on roads, flat ground, and non-technical terrain can actually make you a better trail runner and ultrarunner. From improving running economy, to building durability, to helping you handle runnable sections in races better, this is a huge piece that a lot of runners overlook.
If you’ve been wondering how to balance specificity with smart training, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why hammering vert too early can actually hurt your training
- How road running can improve durability, efficiency, and turnover
- When flat training makes more sense than steep climbing
- How to know whether your limiter is fitness, durability, or climbing strength
- When to shift from less specific training to more race-specific vert and technical work
If you train for trail and ultra races, this one could completely change how you think about your buildup.

53 min - How to Actually Recover Better as an Ultrarunner | ft. Jordan Battaglia
Recovery is one of the biggest performance tools ultrarunners overlook.
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Jordan Battaglia — co-founder and CEO of PlayOn — to talk about what recovery really looks like for endurance athletes. We get into the stuff that actually matters if you want to train hard, stay healthy, and perform at your best.
Jordan shares lessons from his own injury experience, what most runners get wrong about recovery, and why things like sleep, nervous system regulation, warm-ups, strength training, and stress management matter way more than most people realize. We also get into why ibuprofen can be a dangerous trap for runners, simple recovery habits that actually move the needle, and some of the upgrades PlayOn has made to the product.
This is a super practical episode with a ton of stuff you can apply right away.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why sleep is still the gold standard of recovery
- The nervous system piece most runners ignore
- What a proper warm-up should actually look like
- Why strength training helps ultrarunners stay healthy longer
- Foam rolling, massage guns, and soft tissue work
- The role of stress in injury, fatigue, and poor performance
- Why ibuprofen can be risky in training and racing
- Simple recovery habits that are free or low-cost
If you want to recover better, train more consistently, and stay in the game longer, this one is for you.

In this episode, Joe sits down with Everyday Ultra coach and professional ultrarunner Kilian Korth to break down one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of ultramarathon prep: the training camp.
After a massive three-day block in Arizona, Kilian shares how he uses “shock cycles” to prepare for the demands of 100 and 200 milers, why strength training has to evolve during peak race prep, and what it really takes mentally to keep moving when your body wants to quit.

- Why Kilian Korth Uses “Shock Cycles” To Prepare For 100 And 200 Mile Races
- How To Structure A Training Camp So It Actually Helps Instead Of Hurting Your Race Prep
- The Biggest Mistakes Runners Make When Simulating Race Conditions
