Join Bob and Kevin Jordan on a meandering conversation about each other’s running lives for the past few months since we last were on air, including recent races for both of us and our upcoming races at Leadville for Kevin and Run Rabbit Run for Bob.

My apologies in advance for the bad audio quality on my channel. It sounded fine to me in ear, but I guess it was recording off of my webcam mic instead of my good mic. Won’t happen again, probably.

Bob interviews Elliott Beach who is fresh off a finish at the HURT100 just a few months after finishing his first 100 miler at the Badger.

Six months after his first ever hundred at Badger, Elliott Beech flew to Oahu and finished the HURT 100 — Hawaii's brutally rooty, mud-and-river-crossing, 50-percent-DNF cult classic — in 35 hours flat with what may have been a torn ankle ligament from mile 13. He talks training for vert as a Mississippi flatlander, what Goggins gets misread on, and the bellman who had no idea what he'd just done.

Bob is joined by Jada Freer, Chris Prairie, and Darrick Hartman to recap their race at the 2024 Bandera 100K.

Live from Austin, TX, Bob debriefs Bandera with Jada Freer, Chris Prairie, and Darrick Hartman. They cover sotol cuts, the rocky Texas Hill Country sunset, a "hamburger feet" stranger pulled out of a dark place by conversation, and Chris's homemade Homer-bucket drop bag system. Plus practical tips on consistency, pace cards, and respecting the rules race directors fight to keep.

Bob & Sass’ final episode. At least until we convince Sass she’s going to sign up for a Tri. Thank you for joining us for this ride and enjoy our finale as a pair!

Bob and Sass reunite for what was always meant to be the end of the line — and it opens with an unhinged bit about future universities awarding Bob and Sass Studies PhDs. Bob recaps bonking hard at the Door County Fall 50, talks Bandera prep and an ill-fated salt strategy, while Sass plots her revenge on lap swimming for an upcoming snorkeling trip. A proper sign-off with the door cracked for whatever comes next.

Kevin Jordan joins Bob to chat about… oh hell, let’s just let the “AI” give the show notes:

They explore the challenges of running in mountainous terrain and the impact of personal relationships on Kevin’s running journey. They also delve into the decision to run multiple 100-mile races in a year and the experiences of DNFs and podium finishes. The conversation highlights the importance of community and support in ultra-running. In this conversation, Bob and Kevin discuss the experience of running multiple races and the balance between FOMO and friendship. They recap recent races and delve into the mental struggles and challenges of ultra running.

They discuss the decision-making process in choosing races and the challenges of training for mountain ultras.

Did I just (sic) some chatGPT nonsense? Yes I did. It’s Salton Sea, get it right robot overlords!

Kevin Jordan — Western States finisher, three-time Badger podium guy, and self-described ultra-running cryptid — stops by to talk about the races that didn't go to plan. Eastern States, the Swami Shuffle 220, and a recent Devil Dog DNF after ten straight 100-mile finishes. It's an honest look at how busted hamstrings, FOMO signups, and the body saying "no more" hit even the most experienced runners.
