We're back and with a special guest! Not it's not Will (he was there though) it's Signal Mountain native and local LEGEND Skyler Baker. We maintain our usual banter, go over local race news, and review our performances at Kodiak by UTMB and the Wild Trails Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race.

Just the coaches on this episode! We cover the usual banter, news, but most of the episode is the tidbits we claim to cover in our intro. Mike and Charlie discuss their takeaways from Evoke Endurance coach Scott Johnston's interview on Freetrail. They discuss how they might apply Scott's training methods to themselves and their athletes and where his methods might not work for every athlete. Lea is on the pod, but steps away for a coaching call after some banter.

We're home! Back in studio but still have sound issues. We cover the Oli Kai and Oli Via races, preview trail season in the Chattanooga area, and FINALLY answer (some) listener questions.

We're back with another interview from Colorado! This week we cover the Telluride Mountain Run and The Grand Traverse 40-mile races.

We're back! Live and mostly from Leadville, the gang relives Lea's incredible day at the Leadville 100.

A successful virtual pod. Lea and Mike phone in from Tahoe to recap Broken Arrow, and we all prognosticate on Western States. We finally answer a listener question and get stoked about a Double SCAR FKT.

Lil bit of everything on this one:

Mike signs up for a race, we recap a myriad of recent events in the area, and Will talks about his FKT attempt and his hatred of golf and baseball. We also answer listener questions and challenge the Boulder Boys to the 2026 Stump Jump.

Pod crew was giggly on this one!

We recap Strolling Jim, brag on Martha and Austin's impressive results, discuss what Laz race we would do, hint at a future event, Will incorrectly states that we should go to Black Canyon instead of Canyons, we talk Cocodona and training for 200s, and we squeeze in some LQs (Listener Questions).

After capitulating for a few weeks, we're back to recapitulate the Gorge and Stillhouse 100K races that Lea, Will and Charlie crushed the last two weekends. As always, please rate, share and subscribe. We won't leave again - at least for a little bit.

Ready to tackle your next race and want coaching or just training advice? Reach out to Mike, Charlie or Lea! We'd love to help!
