Simone is a badass ultra runner from Florida by way of Brazil.  She popped onto my radar last year at Cocodona as one of the amazing Floridians that finished, but just a few weeks ago, she finished the 6633 Arctic Ultra.  380 miles around the Arctic circle in sub-zero temps.  No crew, no pacers.  Just Simone and her sled full of supplies.  Hear her stories of adventure and be inspired to do hard, cold things.

Chris Raup is an accomplished ultra-runner, a retired veteran and the founder of the Warrior Trail Foundation.  I will let you listen to learn about this awesome foundation, but I will say it involves trail running and helping out suffering veterans.  That should be enough!  Check it out, share with your friends, and go check out their website and please support the show sponsors.

Davy.... Davy Crockett.  He is an accomplished ultra runner with over 100 - 100 mile finishes, and quite the ultra-running historian.  He's also an author of many ultra running history books, race director, and podcaster.  If you're a fan of the sport, you probably already know of him, if you're knew, give him a follow.  You will learn a lot about the history of ultra running.  He's also over the Ultra Running Hall of Fame, keeps a running (pun inserted) list of the 100 club. (people with 100 or more 100 mile finishes)  

I could talk for hours about just the history of the sport, but Davy has an interesting running story himself and the way he got started.  I love these stories.  Hope you enjoy and give him a follow on his podcast.

When I reached out to Kendra Wilson, aka Kendra Renee from BUA fame, I expected a bunch of laughs, but we actually had a mostly serious conversation.  She has been through hell with different illnesses and battled her way into wellness and becoming a badass ultra runner.  Check out her awesome story!

Aden St. Charles is a name that I have heard in the southeastern ultra-running circles ever since I have been in the sport.  She is as strong of an ultrarunner as you will ever meet, also humble and kind.  Always volunteering when she's not running.  Hailing from the beautiful city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, she has access to some beautiful trails and has run many races all over the country and placed high in most with quite a few wins.  She's got lots of great stories with good lessons and loves to share them.  She's also a coach.  Of course I love to talk period, so this is a long one.  Enjoy!

Julian Long is a husband, a father, and a humble and kind guy who happens to be a legit strong ultrarunner.  I got the chance to sit down and hear his story.  In a short time. he went from being a hiker to a course record holder and multi time ultra winner.  He's such a treat to get to know and just scratching the surface in his long distance game.  He will be a force to reckon with for many years to come!

Episode 136 is a roundtable discussion recapping and previewing races and discussing current events in ultrarunning.  She's a big fan of the sport, very knowledgeable, a certified coach, and an accomplished ultrarunner.  We hope to do this on a regular basis so send us your epic race accomplishments to shout out, or favorite races to preview.  I'm sorry to say some of the races we previewed have already happened.  Hopefully next time will be a little more in advance.  Send me your feedback on what you would like to hear about on the roundtable.

I got the opportunity to crew Pam Reed for the 2024 Daytona 100.  Most folks know I enjoy helping others do epic things as much as doing it myself.  For Pam, this was 100 miler (or longer) finish 120, I believe, maybe 121.  She now has 122.  It was a sight to behold.  At 63 years old, she made 22 hours and change look fairly easy.  The big lesson I learned is minimal stop time.  Because this was a point to point race with minimal aid stations, crew meetups were fairly often.  Probably close to 25 times in 100 miles.  And in one stop, she changed all of her clothes as well as shoes and socks.  I still bet her stop time was way less than an hour.  Incredible.  She has so many accomplishments, we could do 5 episodes and not cover them all.  Many Badwater finishes with an overall win mixed in, Western States, Hardrock, Moad 240, Cocodona 250, on and on.  Enjoy.

In this episode, I take a few minutes to discuss the good, bad, and ugly from my recent survival at Long Haul 100.  Then I jump into a very interesting interview with Doug Rosenberg of Mount to Coast shoe company.  Mount to Coast came on the ultra-running scene last Spring with 2 models of road shoes, a racer and a trainer.  They've since introduced a third model and have a trail shoe in the works. They have new technology in the foam and stability system that makes it a very durable, lightweight, and comfortable running shoe designed to go beyond the normal distance of competitive brands.  Mount to Coast came highly recommended by a few friends and guests of the show and it's still early for me. but I really like them.  Check out the interview and give them a try if you're interested.  Doug also discusses a 100k race series they are sponsoring so check it out!

I had the opportunity to join Pacer Travel's own Jeff Iosa, OG FUR podcaster and Skunk Ape Events founder Joe Fuller, and beloved RD (or should I say co-RD, because we all know who the boss is) of Long Haul himself, Andy Mathews.  We talk trivia, predictions, weather, mud and lack of it, pristine courses, etc.  Andy gives course breakdown and updates with exact mileage to aid stations, etc.  Please note, this is the audio version of the YouTube video.  It has been edited a little but I had no control over the settings.  For bonus content and some very handsome guests, see the video in the link provided.  See you at Long Haul!
