In this episode of The Mullet Chronicles, we read Erica Lubera’s race report from her 2024 finish of the TWOT 100+ — a race as wild as its name. Erica takes us through the rocks, the climbs, and the pure ridiculousness of this no-frills ultra. It’s a celebration of stubborn legs, strong snacks, and the kind of trail joy that only TWOT (The Wild Oak Trail) can bring. You can find more race reports from Erica and find more information about her guided backpacking tours at wildrootsguides.com

Not ready to stop talking about Hyner yet? Us either! Join us on Monday on The Running Mullet, where we’re talking all things Hyner View Trail Challenge—mud, mountains, and moments of questionable life choices. Eric and Grayce recap the legendary climbs and community vibes, and then we welcome special guest Jesse Stol, who ran the 25K completely barefoot. Yep, no shoes, just pure soles and soul. Jesse shares what inspired the bold move, how it went (spoiler: surprisingly well!), and why sometimes the best way to connect with the trail is to feel every inch of it. Come for the laughs, stay for the barefoot wisdom!

It’s that time of year—mud, climbs, carnage, and Carl's bell. In this episode, Eric and Hot Pants get fired up for one of the most iconic trail races around: Hyner View Trail Challenge.

Whether you're a first-timer wondering what you've signed up for or a seasoned Hyner vet craving that pre-race buzz, this one’s for you. Expect bad advice, good vibes, and a healthy dose of nerves. Hyner’s coming... are you ready?

Training block got you feeling like a zombie with sore quads? Eric and Hot Pants are here to talk about the secret sauce that holds it all together—rest and recovery.

From strategic rest days to little things that make a big difference (spoiler: naps are magical), we’re here to remind you that recovery isn’t weakness—it’s a weapon. Also on the agenda: Is Eric’s new mustache a bold power move or a horrible mistake? You decide. Rest up, tune in, and prepare to question your facial hair choices.

Grayce and Eric break down their best and worst running choices—because what’s a good race story without some regret?

Tune in for laughs, lessons, and enough questionable decisions to make you feel like a running pro by comparison!

This week on The Running Mullet, we relive the madness that was Rabid Raccoon! Was it a race or a survival challenge? We’re still not sure. We break down the mud, the mayhem, and the moments that made us question our life choices. Who thrived? Who suffered? Who was personally victimized by the course? Tune in as we swap war stories, celebrate the trail chaos, and maybe even hand out some honorary raccoon names. Grab a snack (preferably stolen from an aid station), and let’s get into it!

Hold onto your mullets, folks—episode #106 of The Running Mullet is about to get rabid!

In this episode of The Running Mullet, we welcome Greg St. John, who just cranked out a personal distance record of 20 miles at the Naked Bavarian.

We chat about his journey into running, balancing running with young ones, and whether he’s fully aware of what he signed up for. Join us for laughs, questionable training advice, and maybe some mild peer pressure to sign up for even longer races!
