Miles & Mountains episodes

  • Travis Soares

    Nick interviews Travis Soares. Travis is part of what Hardrath calls the "Rad Rag-Tag Bunch." He is no stranger to the FKT world. He has a laundry list of FKTs under his belt and it doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Travis holds the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for The SPS (Sierra Peak Section) List (247 Peaks in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range). He completed the 247 mountains in 117 days, all on foot. We talk outdoors, what got him started, and why he does what he does while living the life of a true "Dirtbag." Lastly, we talk about his time with Nathan Longhurst (the youngest athlete to complete the SPS) while rooting him on and competing with and against him.

  • Dan Fielder

    Nick interviews Dan, the Man Fielder. Dan's goal was to set the record straight for the podcast's most lengthy episode, and he did just that. Dan shares his life with us and does not shy away from making conversations with strangers. Listen for yourself. Dan is full of life, memes, and knows a lot of people in the ultra world.
