A few days ago, I ended up in the hospital after a run with atrial fibrillation (AFib) — and while I’m doing okay now, the experience shook me up and taught me some lessons that I think every runner needs to hear. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what happened, what the doctors told me, how I’m doing now, and the biggest takeaways I’m walking away with from the whole experience.
This one is personal, but I also think it’s important. Because as runners, it’s really easy to convince ourselves to push through things, ignore warning signs, or downplay what our body is trying to tell us. This experience reminded me that getting help when something is wrong is not weakness — it’s wisdom.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
If this episode resonated with you, I hope it helps a ton.

Lottie Brinks is back on the Everyday Ultra Podcast, and this one goes way deeper than just race results.
In this episode, Lottie shares how mountain biking has become a huge part of her life — not as a way to build fitness, but as a way to sharpen her mind, improve her confidence, and help her show up better in running and in life. We dive into the connection between fear and performance, how learning high-risk skills can translate to racing more freely, and why doing something purely for joy can actually make you a better ultrarunner.
This is a powerful conversation about growth, presence, confidence, and the mental side of performing at a high level.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why mountain biking has become such a powerful complement to Lottie’s running
How practicing fear in one sport can build confidence in another
The surprising connection between line choice on the bike and downhill running
Why doing something for joy and mental stimulation can actually help performance
How to stay present and avoid overthinking before big races
What Lottie has learned about risk, confidence, and trusting herself as an athlete

Backyard ultras are one of the most brutal formats in endurance sports: 4.2 miles every hour… until only one runner is left standing.
And today’s guest is the best in the world at it.
Phil Gore is the 2025 Big’s Backyard Ultra World Champion, running 764km over nearly five days to outlast the best endurance athletes on the planet. Earlier that same year, he set the Backyard Ultra world record with 119 laps at Dead Cow Gully.
But what makes Phil so fascinating isn’t just the distance he runs — it’s the strategy, mental resilience, and precision behind it all.
In this episode, Phil breaks down:
• How he plans sleep in races that last 4–5 days
• The fueling strategy that keeps him moving for 100+ hours
• Why he doesn’t take caffeine until day three
• The mental framework that allows him to keep going when others stop
• How his job as a career firefighter helped build the resilience needed for backyard ultras
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to push the absolute limits of human endurance, this episode will completely change how you think about ultrarunning.

What happens when you thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and set your sights on 200-mile ultramarathons?
You architect a life around adventure.
In this episode, Kelly Hays joins the show to talk about:
Nearly 3,000 miles on the CDT in just five months
Hiking 120 miles straight through Wyoming’s Great Basin with zero sleep
Emergency surgery six days into the Appalachian Trail — and getting back on trail
Why mental toughness is built by putting one foot in front of the other
The transition from thru-hiker to ultrarunner
Pulling out of races to protect longevity (and why that decision matters)
Balancing ambition with patience
Why she’s obsessed with 100s and dreaming of 200-milers like Cocodona 250
Kelly doesn’t just chase miles. She designs her life around growth, challenge, and freedom.
This conversation is about more than running.
It’s about stacking bricks, showing up daily, and becoming the kind of person who can endure hard things — on trail and in life.
If you’ve ever wrestled with ambition, injury, comparison, or the desire to go all-in on adventure… this one’s for you.
Kelly Hays is an ultrarunner, thru-hiker, and content creator who has built a following of hundreds of thousands of people as she documents her journey's of adventure, running, and building a life of adventure.

The first time I saw these guys was in the documentary The Kid after finishing Tahoe 200 — and I immediately thought:
“Who are these dudes?”
There was something different about them.
The energy. The edge. The authenticity.
Then I started seeing more about Hyperlyte
Not just as another nutrition company… but as a movement.
And then I saw them at the races.
I saw Jeremy at Leadville.
Emory out there racing the mountains himself.
Then Jeremy lining up at Run Rabbit Run.
That’s when it clicked:
They aren’t just building products for ultrarunners.
They ARE ultrarunners.
In this episode, we dive into:
• Jeremy’s journey from addiction and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail to crushing 100-milers like Run Rabbit Run, Bear 100, Cruel Jewel, and Rim to River
• Emory’s path from 300-lb college football lineman to Leadville, Wasatch, High Lonesome, and The Bear
• What 100-mile racing teaches you about life, fatherhood, and staying present
• The biggest mistakes ultrarunners make in long races
• How to balance business, family, and high-level training
• Why they built Hyperlite differently (and what was broken in endurance nutrition)
• The philosophy behind simple fueling: 100g carbs, 1,000mg sodium — done right
• Building a brand that actually reflects trail culture
This one is raw.
It’s real.
And it’s about more than just nutrition.
It’s about identity, resilience, and building something that actually matters.
If you care about ultras, performance, community, and pushing your limits — this one will fire you up.
Let’s ramble on.

• The hidden downside of doing too much easy running
