  • Negative Response to Super Shoes? - Episode 308

    A negative response to super shoes is not something you want to experience after paying the high dollar amount for a shoe, but it can happen. This episode covers my experience and what to look out for. I'll state that I have no affiliation with any of these brands and this is by no means a slander against the shoe did not work for me! These are simply my observations and thoughts.

                                What a tough topic to discuss. Especially with Crazy Mountain 100 on the release date of this episode, but the reality is, this episode helped me preparte better for Crazy Mountain. It made me reflect on previous DNF's and how I can best execute on race day and avoid a DNF. Does it guarantee my finish...NO, but it increases the odds of finishing for sure! I hope this episode does the same for you!

Crazy Mountain 100-miler in a week! Here's my recap of the race. It went sideways, as most 100-milers do! I've just come to learn that it's mitigating, problem solving, and constant relentless forward progress! Let's go! 

                                    I want to send a special thanks to Nathan, Penny, & Jack for their unwavering support in helping me get to the finish line. I love you my friends!

                                        I learned of my Great Uncle's passing & the cancellation of the Ouray 100 with the span of minutes. I thought it relevant to discuss processing. I'm grateful the Rocky Mountain Slam is letting us run Silverheels 100-miler as part of the series and I'm grateful to Sherpa John for welcoming us with a discount. I'll be starting Silverheels as this podcast releases! Almost to 300 episodes!
