In this episode, I sit down with Brandon Fogerty, winner of the Hellgate 100K, to break down how he won one of the toughest 100K ultramarathons in the U.S. — in his very first 100K race.

We dive deep into 100K ultramarathon training, race execution, and mindset, unpacking the decisions that allowed Brandon to not only finish strong, but win outright on a brutally challenging course. This conversation is packed with practical insights for runners preparing for their first 100K ultramarathon, stepping up from the marathon, or aiming to take their performance to the next level.

Whether you’re training for a marathon, 50K, 100K, or beyond, this episode delivers real-world coaching lessons you can apply directly to your own training.

In this episode, we cover:

How Brandon structured his training for his first 100K ultramarathon

Key workouts that translated directly to race-day performance

Pacing and fueling strategy for a rugged, high-attrition course

The mental approach required to race confidently at a new distance

Common mistakes runners make when moving up in distance

Why intentional, structured coaching beats simply “running more miles”
