Ultra Uncovered kicks off the New Year by diving into the latest craze taking over the ultra running world.

The Burrito League.

So what happens when a major corporation (ahem, Chipotle) doesn’t fully seize a massive marketing moment like the Chipotle x Strava Burrito Challenge? If you’re Jamil Coury, you build something even better yourself.

In this episode, we break down the origins of the challenge, how it unexpectedly exploded, and what’s unfolded over the past few days across the globe. We also invite you to jump in with us by joining the Castle Rock Burrito League throughout the month of January. Expect cool prizes, time with an incredible community, and a fun, motivating excuse to get moving as you kick off the new year.

On this episode, Russell Ditsworth and co-host Corinne Shalvoy dive into the Desert Solstice Invitational, Aravaipa Running’s invite-only track ultra designed for records and national-team qualifiers. They break down why this meet exists, how athletes get in, and what makes a 400-meter loop the fastest laboratory in ultrarunning. You’ll hear how 24-hour and 100-mile efforts work on the track, the A/B standards for entry, and the staggering benchmarks set in recent years, including world-class 24-hour totals and the current 100-mile mark. Russell and Corinne unpack pacing, direction changes every four hours, lane etiquette, shoe rules, and why fueling can make or break an elite attempt. They also speculate on who could thrive at Desert Solstice this December, what trail stars might do on a track, and how high-carb strategies could push records lower. If you’re eyeing a timed event to practice night running, refine nutrition, or chase a standard, this episode gives you the playbook, and a few bold predictions.

Ultra Uncovered revisits Javelina 100 week with Corinne Shalvoy’s breakout 2024 run: 15:24 for fifth place, a 12-hour PR, and one of the fastest women’s times in race history. Corinne, Russell, and pacer-crew chief Graham unpack how she ran by effort through triple-digit heat, kept moving with simple mantras, and used cooling tactics like ice bandanas, sleeves, and even ice in the sports bra. They cover the build that worked—years of steady mileage, a late-block FKT, marathon-style long runs—and the mid-race problem solving that saved the day when cramps and hot spots hit. Expect actionable takeaways on pacing loop two, fueling through stomach swings, gear that helped (Agravic Speed Ultra, Omius visor, pockets that carry a full loop), and pro crew tips like booking a tent at jeadquarters. Bonus: a hilarious mid-race cameo with Erin Clark and a shirtless Adam Peterman, plus big gratitude for the Javelina community and livestream that kept the vibes high.

Originally aired in Oct 2024 - just as insightful today!

In this two-part Javelina 100 'Run it back' episode, hosts Corinne Shalvoy and Russell Ditsworth explore the magic, madness, and mastery behind one of ultrarunning’s most iconic events.

In the first episode, they capture the full scope of Javelina’s unique energy, where costumes, community, and chaos meet the challenge of the desert. Arizona veteran and 10x Javelina finisher, Deb Hamberlin shares how the race has evolved from a small local gathering into a global endurance festival. Her insights reveal what keeps runners coming back year after year, from the electric aid stations to the mental grind of heat, loops, and laughter under the Halloween sky.

In part two, 2022 Javelina 100 champion Dakota Jones opens up about his record-breaking performance and the mindset that carried him through five desert loops. He shares details of his pacing, heat management, and late-race battle with John Rea, along with a deeper look at how patience and adaptability define success in the ultra world. Dakota also discusses his work as a climate advocate through his Footprints Running Camp and how his partnership with NNormal and Kilian Jornet connects purpose with performance.

Together, these conversations highlight what makes Javelina 100 unlike any other race on earth: a blend of party and precision, grit and joy, where personal passion meets the broader spirit of the trail running community.

Kevin Goldberg and Melanie White, two fresh finishers of the inaugural Mammoth 200 join us to share what they learned from two very different paths to the same finish line. Kevin experiments with zero sleep and live stream check ins. Melanie builds a steady plan with purposeful naps, smart pacing, and resilient mindset. Together they unpack how couples can support individual goals, how to choose and use crew and pacers, and why simple tools like gaiters, shoe changes, and route redundancy matter.

We also spotlight the live stream experience that kept runners and fans connected. Mountain Outpost delivered engaging chat, thoughtful commentary, and stunning drone views that showcased the Eastern Sierra. An all women booth kept the conversation informative and welcoming, and tested podcast like discussions with the chat and viewers. Finally, we share positives from the race itself. Strong organization and race director leadership for a first year, a high finisher rate, a beautiful and runnable caldera route, and a community that made the hard parts feel possible. Get ready for both the practical and inspirational on this one!

In this Fire Road episode of Ultra Uncovered, Corinne Shalvoy, Russell Ditsworth, and guest co-host Graham Shalvoy dive into the drama, grit, and beauty of the Ouray 50. Corinne recounts her first run at her hometown race, 53 miles with over 21,000 feet of climbing, where she not only claimed the women’s win and placed third overall but also came within two minutes of the course record. Together, they unpack the brutal course design, the storms that turned the race into a true mountain test, and the mindset shifts that carried Corinne through to the finish line.

The conversation highlights the unique family and community ties that made this effort unforgettable. Graham paced Corinne just as she had paced him to victory in 2021, her family was there to cheer in the dark hours of the morning, and every climb carried the weight and pride of running on the trails she grew up with. Beyond the result, the hosts reflect on gear choices, mental mantras, pacing strategy, and resilience, while honoring what makes the Ouray 50 and the San Juan mountains one of the purest proving grounds in ultrarunning.
