July 16, 2022 Episode 51: Vinny Crispino - Overcoming Pain, Finding Balance & Running Ultra
Vinny Crispino is quite literally an expert in pain. A young, gifted athlete, Vinny's life changed drastically when he broke his back not once, but twice, and learned to live with debilitating pain until a chance meeting changed everything. After becoming the master of his own body and ridding himself of the pain that held him captive, he now teaches others to do the same. Riveted by his story, we picked Vinny's brain about running injuries, maintaining balance, and how he is using all that he has learned to train for his first upcoming ultra in October. This is not an episode to miss. Be sure to check out https://painacademy.net/ to see the amazing things that Vinny is up to and you can find him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/painacademy/ Also, he was kind enough to put together a video specific for The Ultra Running Guys Family.

May 07, 2022 Episode 46: Agnes Huff - "I Could Have Chosen Knitting But This Is More Badass"
We first met Agnes Huff a handful of weeks ago because she flew all the way from Santa Cruz, CA to North Carolina to run our race, The Hydra 50K. And she did it alone, without any ties to the area. Yes, she is a badass. Agnes immediately made an impact on us and after watching her power through the race, including some tears shed at the finish line, we knew we wanted her on the show. We talked about pain, pickle juice, and her quest to slay The Hydra and can pretty much guarantee you will find a TON of value from this conversation.
