Mindset dealing with injuries translates to how we should deal with life's problems.

On Today's Episode - Paul Cutbirth! Paul hasn’t been running ultras super long, but he’s having a blast running the long miles between work and family duties. We talk about overcoming injuries, training, early mornings, hunting, family, and life! Man, I love getting to know such cool people in our running community!

Rene and Lisamarie Griffin are ultrarunners who live in New Mexico and they love to run long distances. Get this - They run their races together from the start to the finish and do really well with that! Listen in as I have a great time getting to know these two ultra-running beasts!

A friend from across the pond! I’ve had the privilege of coaching and working with Matt since October of last year to get him ready for his first 200, The Wild Horse 200 in Wales put on by RD and past podcast guest (Episode 24 and 45) Rhys Jenkins. Matt is an example of what you can accomplish when you put in hard work and trust the process. And he’s got a cool accent! You’ll love our chat about his life and the process to get him to a 4th place finish for his first 200-mile race!

Consistency Matters.

The benefits of consistency

Don't let your mindset limit your potential!

Stop Trying and Start Training. Thoughts on life goals. Use the lessons we learn in training for our races in life.

Create, small, measurable, daily habits that will get you to your goal. Train, don't try.

Today’s guest, Stacey Shaver-Matson is one of our Arkansas trail running friends.  She's run just about every Arkansas trail race! She also did the Tahoe 200 in 2018.  She’s a board member for AURA, the Arkansas Ultra Running Association, and also race director for Athens Big Fork Trail Marathon, Ouachita Trail 50, and the Arkansas Traveller 100.  We talk about the awesome Arkansas trail running community, the races she’s run and directs, and her battle back from knee surgery for a meniscus root repair.  Lots of great information from an experienced runner!

Strategies when dealing with the unknown. Thoughts on how I'm dealing with a possible setback.

Christine is the overall winner of this year’s Outlaw 100 135-mile race! They called her “The Little Engine that Could” during the race. You’ll have to listen to find out why! She was also 2nd female at the 2021 Moab 240 Mile race! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and talking about her impressive race resume, how she picks her races and her simple race strategy that has obviously worked great for her!
