Know who you are.

One of the things I love about our sport is that it brings people from all walks of life together to enjoy pushing our limits and seeing what we can do.  I enjoyed this in-person visit with Dr. William Clark.  

Dr. Clark is a spinal surgeon here in Tulsa Oklahoma specializing in scoliosis and spinal deformity.  He loves his job and the challenges it presents him on a regular basis.  Dr. Clark is an Ironman who has also done ultra-distance mountain bike races, including the Leadville 100.  He’s also completed various ultramarathons with more to come.  Some of you will love his committed but flexible approach to training as he balances work, family, and training.  I had a blast getting to know William and know you will too!

This week we chat with Midwest speedster, Jaclyn Long.  Jaclyn is known for a few things in races around here - speed, naps, waking from the dead, and a unique bluntness during races with her crew.  She’s a busy woman.  She’s a mom and nanny and raises tortoises, turkeys, and other "fowl" creatures.  Running gave her a focus when she was recovering from an eating disorder and she hasn’t stopped!  Join us for a very interesting conversation with Jaclyn!

I had a blast catching up with Mike to talk about all that he’s been up to since we had him on the podcast on episode 6.  On that first interview, we focused on Mike’s accident that could have kept him from running again.  We also discussed his win of all three races in the Triple Crown of 200s.  This time we talk a bit more about his low carb approach to running, his ZERO calorie 100-mile run, the Colorado Trail FKT, his Cocodona 250 DNF, and his big plans for the future which includes a 2022 Appalachian Trail FKT attempt!

Today we’ll be chatting with a friend of mine, Jeremy Howard.  Jeremy, like many of us, found his love for running a little later in life and discovered that he was good at it!  He recently attempted the gnarly,  273 mile “Long Trail” Unsupported, Fastest Known Time (FKT) in Vermont.  Join us as we dive into Jeremy’s amazing experience and lessons learned on the trail.

Last weekend, I raced the North Fork 50 mile race in Buffalo Creek, CO.  It was a training race and I got it done, but I had some issues along the way.  I thought it would be interesting for the listeners to listen in as I discussed the race with my coach, Cliff Pittman.  Cliff Pittman has been a guest on the podcast before and he always brings lots of knowledge to the table.  Listen in as we discuss what was good, what was bad, and what was ugly.
