We had so much fun chatting with Run It Fast founder Joshua Holmes!  Be sure to plug in so you can hear how he got started running, details of his "Summer of Suffering," his mindset tips that got him through 274 ultras / marathons with 0 DNFs, and more.  Let us know what you think!

To commemorate launching our first event as race directors, we thought it was only fitting to release an episode with one of the most iconic RD's in ultra running history! Chris Kostman is the legend behind The Badwater 135 and we had such a good time picking his brain about the race, ultra endurance, his personal experience as an athlete, and more. You don't want to miss this one. You can follow Chris and Badwater at @chriskostman and @badwaterhq and check out the Badwater website at www.badwater.com

Tim Wills (@gotheultramile ) is a Physical Therapist Assistant, coach, author, and owner of Go The Ultra Mile. Oh yeah...and he likes to run 100 mile races down in Florida!

We sat down with him not long after he finished the Vero Beach 100 in July and picked his brain about training and racing in the FL heat and some other fun topics. Be sure to checkout www.gotheultramile.com and you can find his book, The Ultra Mile, on Amazon. Enjoy the episode!

Patrick Dunlap hit bottom in 2014, weighing in at 350 pounds. But following weight loss surgery in 2014, Patrick leaned into his disciplines, dropped 195 pounds, and soon found peace on his daily runs. Before long, he stumbled into the world of ultra running and used his "Do More" mentality to set his sights on conquering the 100 mile distance. We so enjoyed chatting with him about his successes and struggles, his journey with mindfulness, and even a big crash and burn during his first Pine Creek Challenge. Tune in and connect with Patrick as he prepares to take on the Pine Creek 50 miler on Sep 11, 2021. Enjoy the episode. And remember, you can always "Do More." #JustShowUp

Michelle Goldberg (@mrmribbit on IG) is a force. Not only has she been an instrumental part of The Ultra Running Guys Community, but she is one heck of a runner, as evidenced by her recent 1st place finish in the Midnight Squatchapalooza!

Whether you are just getting into ultra running or are a veteran preparing for an upcoming race, this is a must listen. Enjoy! And let us know what you think!
