#140 - Esmail Rahimian has a lot of frequent flier miles! We're talking thousands! He's run a race on every continent and he's here this week to talk about it. He shares stories from many of his races in his book: Life Lessons on the Run: Making Every Step Count. Through his races, he shares important moments in his life. His pursuit to explore all corners of the Earth is engaging and is something each runner can understand.

#139 - Love it or hate it, social media is a part of our lives as runners. This week, I talk about it all. How it helps us stay in touch and share our running journeys, and how it deters from making real friends. 

Also, don't miss this week's Tales of the Trail where I give my own race report!

#138 - Gerald Tabios is drawn to Death Valley and he's not even sure why. But this is his favorite race. Badwater 135 brings shudders to most runners, but for him, it is like a frienamy; he loves and dislikes this race. It's forever challenging, even though he's finished it numerous times. In this weeks episode, he talks about his adventures in the hottest place on Earth, as well as his other races and plans for the future. We also talk about the documentary made about his 2018 Badwater race: Running For Freedom. He's a remarkable runner and spokesperson for all those running ultras on pavement! 

Also, don't miss Tail of the Trail where I give the finals for the Lake Sonoma 50, as well as a special announcement!

#137 - "I probably shouldn't be alive" Alyson told me. She's made peace with her turbulent and near deadly past, but it took a lot of time, self reflection and honesty to get there. She talks about her love of 100 mile ultra races, peaking the tall mountains, her book On My Way Up and so much more! I very much enjoyed hearing her story and her long road of self discovery.

#136 - Tony Nguyen has a story to tell in this week's episode. Tony tells us what happened during his race in this May's Western States race. Sometimes things don't go as planned and I know you'll want to hear every word! Tony's spirit and Never-Say-Die attitude comes through as always. He continues to be an inspiration for me and I hope for you.

#135 - There would be no running races without volunteers. And now that races are coming back, it's time for us to switch into high gear and help out. Small racing companies were some of the hardest hit in 2020 and giving a helping hand is one of the best ways to help keep them around. In this week's episode I give lots of suggestions of ways we all can volunteer. And of "all", I mean from elites to those of at the back of the pack. Every one of us should give our time to keep our wonderful races around! 

Also don't miss Tales of the Trail, where I talk about the world's richest races! And towards one of them, I ask: Why????

#134 - Colin Turner spent a lot of his life wondering why his running wasn't fulfilling. It wasn't enjoyable. Being an educator, he went back to the basics and figured out what he was doing wrong. Once he did that, he now shares what he knows with others and with us this week. I love his common sense and positive approach to running! 

Also, this week's Tales of the Trail is something you don't want to miss. MRTW lost one of our own and we mourn his loss this week, as well as share a FKT on the Colorado Trail!
