Hi everyone, and welcome to the Journey Running Podcast. This episode is about my journey to qualifying for the Boston Marathon. My hope is that my atypical route to qualifying (running marathons then leaving road racing for 6 years to focus on ultrarunning before returning to a road marathon) can help create a unique roadmap for those out there who are looking to BQ and who may be in a similar situation. Whether you have never run a marathon, are a regular marathoner or an ultrarunner, I think this episode contains great training advice and will have something for you. Ultimately, I cover my personal running experience that led to a BQ, what I focused on in training and how I ran the race itself. I hope that this helps your training and if you have any further questions, thoughts or are looking for a running coach, don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi everyone, in this episode of the Journey Running Podcast, we have on Kevin Kolloff. Kevin recently ran  the Leadville 100 Mile Endurance Run and in this episode, we dive into Kevin's training, preparation and race itself. One thing that makes this episode special is that Kevin is a Journey Running athlete and the first athlete I have coached for a race to be on this podcast. Overall, this was a great episode to record, as individuals training for the Leadville 100 will find an abundance of applicable training information in this episode. On that note, I think anyone training for their first 100 in particular will get a lot of value out of listening to this one. As always, thank you for taking the time to listen!

Enjoy the episode!

Hi everyone and welcome to episode 8 of the Journey Running Podcast! In this episode, myself and friend Dave Braunlich discuss popular ultramarathon lotteries in the US. Specifically, we discuss: Western States 100, Hardrock 100 and the Leadville 100. In this episode, we discuss lottery design for these races and variables that impact lottery design such as volunteerism, whether you are a race finisher or not and how gender plays a role in lottery design as well.

This is an episode I would particularly love to hear other people's thoughts on. Do you agree or disagree with the current formats? What are your thoughts on my viewpoint (discussed early in the episode) of how the lotteries should be designed? If you could change one thing in each of the lotteries, what would that be? Or do you like how they are right now?

Thanks for listening!
-Stefan

Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 7 of the Journey Running Podcast. In this solo episode, I discuss nutrition strategies for type 1 diabetics to complete ultramarathon events. This episode was created based off a project I did for graduate school. In that project, I compiled literature regarding strategies for type 1 diabetics to compete in ultramarathon events. Unfortunately, there is not much research completed on this subject so no nutrition guidelines have been created for this subset of endurance athletes. Because of this, I would ask that people view this episode as strictly informational, and not utilize the information in this podcast in the field. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this episode and find the topic as interesting as I did when researching it.
