          • 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.

                                      • Perspectives on DNF's

                                        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!
