Cultra Trail Running

When most of us think of “running blind”, we envision a state of panic where one must proceed without having a clear understanding of what lies ahead. Trail running can be challenging enough even when we can see the rocks and roots that can trip us up. John Robert Mckay, AKA The Blind Donkey Runner does not let that stop him. We hear the details of how he is able to avoid “rock in 3-2-1, ROCK” with the aid of guides. We hear about his journey to qualify and run The Boston Marathon, his racing on the track, trails and ultra events. John also shines the spotlight on local Georgia High School Track coaches and their athletes through his own podcast Southeastern High School Athletics and he is a subject matter expert! We spend a lot of time talking about making connections with others, and the courage required to stand on the starting line of a cross country race. We also enjoy Jackassing around with The Blind Donkey Runner. Don't miss this! Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!

Let's talk about dropping. When we drop something it's like we are forgetting to hold on. We sign up for the 100k and sometimes want to drop to a 50 mile. And some times we help each other pause for a moment and remember why we do what we do and we avoid dropping .(Now the tricky part) Sometimes we decide to pause and not drop any more and others remind us that perhaps it's time to take a deeper look and drop a new episode of The Cultra Trail Running Podcast.  We are glad to be back! We talk about all the fun and crazy shit that happens on the trails and in our lives that most people don't care about or wont talk about. Lin shares his experience as a child growing up in Shanghai, and we touch on all aspects of life, love and the miracle of ultra running.

Life is constantly changing and we are all very different people than we were 6 or 7 years ago, and right now it feels like its time to take a break, continue to seek professional help, and decide whats next. So for now, we are hitting pause (paws), but before we go, lets use this episode to take a look back, just in case this turns out to be our final episode. This podcast started as a wild idea among friends—a way to celebrate the absurdity, struggle, and joy of ultra running in a way that was raw and explicit like the trails we run on. What I didn't expect was how deeply it would resonate, how it would grow into a community, and how much it would mean to me (and to all of us) over the years. The inside jokes, the live shows, the interviews, the ridiculous tangents and jackassing around that somehow always made sense in the end—it's all been a blast. Phast Phred, Evil Becky, Jimmy Mac, and Celeste Fong-a-Ding-Dong—you've given me (AFB) so much, and I can't thank you enough for that gift. Most of all, I want to thank you. Your support—whether financial or just by showing up and listening—has made this journey possible. You've fueled countless hours of storytelling, laughter, and the occasional moment of wisdom. We loved butchering your names and making you Podcast Famous. You've been the lifeblood of this weird, wonderful family that understands the beauty of suffering through 112 miles in the woods and somehow still wanting more. I don't know what's next. Maybe Cultra returns in some new form down the road, maybe not. But one thing is certain: the friendships and community we've built aren't going anywhere. We'll still be out there—running, crewing, racing, pacing, and laughing at the sheer madness of it all. And I hope to see you out there, too. So, for now, this is a pause—not necessarily a goodbye. Keep running, seek professional help, and we'll see you all in a mile… mile and a half. Love you guys, AFB Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!

Former soldier Tim Hardy shares his approach to making his life choices. He has at times deliberately chosen a difficult path that includes some of the most arduous and hot multi-day races, like Vol State, and HOTS, and also cold races like the Arrowhead 135.  Tim has recently taken a look at what makes a great experience for him in terms of community, travel time, course, and cost. He gives us a lot to consider as we make our own life choices.  Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!

If you said yes, then this is the episode for you. EB goes through last weeks running superlatives and reports on what you the listeners think about yourselves and others. There are some flashback moments (que the Scooby Doo music) of looking back on our past runner selves and the insight and advice we would give to ourselves. Then we wrap up that golden doggy bag with a look forward to what races are coming up in the Northeast. This is the episode that you didnt even know you needed.

So Dad (Art) is away and the kids (CULTRA crew) decided to play. We changed the episode rules and decreed this to be episode #8675309. We also determined Who are you. Yes, you. We went through a list of stereotypical runner types and made judgments of who fit the bill. But what do YOU think? Who are you? And who are those other runners around you? Join in and pass some friendly and silly judgement. Added bonus! We kept the train on the tracks and paced ourselves to an impressive hour - hour and a 1/2 episode...including patreons.

319: New Trail Runner's Guide (Northeast Edition) Are you a road runner looking to start trail running, a hiker intent on picking up your pace, or an experienced trail running veteran who is curious to see if you could pick up a new idea? This episode covers the Trail Running Basics, the Northeast Regional specifics, trail etiquette and safety, training & fitness and even gives some pro tips on pooping in the woods. Trail Running basics answers the questions of what gear do I need to start trail running, how to find out where to run, what the differences are from road running, how to choose between road shoes and trail shoes, and what are some of the essential items you should consider carrying on a trail run. We cover some of the Northeast Regional specifics of running on these explicit and raw trails and mention a few of the most iconic spots to run in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine. (Although we don't offer any Gator safety tips) In trail etiquette & safety we discuss concepts and strategies of basic navigational safety such as “The Playpen”. What to do if you encounter a bear, rattlesnake, or perhaps the greatest threat, the dreaded tick. What are the best colors to wear or avoid, like “don't shoot me orange” or “hi I'm a deer's ass white”. We also talk briefly about training and fitness and how to deal with hills, and the many ways of connecting with the trail community and many of the trail running clubs in the Northeast.  Then we talk shit! What are the best seasons to poop, where, when, how? What are the name brand leaves to seek out, and so much more than you ever wanted to know.

Candy cigarettes! Ramen noodles and a Patreon review. The Crew discusses upcoming running races, including the Newport Marathon on April 19th and the Real King of Pain race in Glastonbury in early February, which includes an icy double stream crossing and twice the elevation of the King of Pain road version. Jimmy announces he will likely run the Newport Marathon. Celeste shares details about the Newport Marathon course. They reminisce about past experiences at races like getting medals shaped like pineapples. The conversation then turns to cigarettes, with Jimmy expressing disdain for menthol cigarettes. Art shares that when he started smoking, cigarettes cost only 65 cents per pack, which was before the introduction of crack cocaine.  What are your plans for 2025?

The Mesh Penis Fiasco unveiled! If you wanted any running content, then this is not the episode you are looking for. But if for no logical reason you are looking for some funny shit, followed by 90 minutes of drunken rambling inebriated babble, with very little nutritional, or educational value, then… whatever.   I don't know what to say, so here is what AI gleaned: The team discussed various topics including ultramarathons, aid stations,pickleball, and the Manchester Road Race, and discussed the TV coverage of the race, expressing disappointment with the lack of local expertise and knowledge of the course. The idea of providing their own commentary for the race was suggested, with a potential simulcast. The group jokes around and makes inappropriate comments, as usual. They joke about dealing with bears and having them in Christina's hot tub. The conversation becomes increasingly silly and nonsensical. Art mentions that last week's episode contained particularly explicit content that listeners should avoid. They also shared personal experiences and stories, including a humorous incident involving a "Mesh Penis Fiasco" during a run. The conversation ended with discussions on organizing unique race events, such as the "Cultra" and "drag January," and the possibility of incorporating beer drinking into these events. The conversation becomes even more increasingly silly and nonsensical and never goes anywhere.    Manchester Road Race Results Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!

Ask us anything and we will Jackass around, but also... provide a explicit and raw unfiltered answer. Trail running or listening to music—can provide comfort, relief, or a sense of well-being. They help you cope with stress, clear your mind, or even provide moments of joy. However, they aren't a structured, professional approach to addressing underlying psychological issues. Therapy, on the other hand, is a formal process led by a trained professional, like a therapist or counselor. It involves specific techniques designed to help you understand and manage deep-rooted emotional or mental challenges. We remind ourselves that we don't have to choose one over the other. But Also...

What does it take to run 100 miles 100 times? How about doing this 300 times? Ed Eddinghausen aka "The Jester" has run distances of 100 miles nearly 300 times and is seeking to break the record for the most 100 mile runs completed in one year.  Many of us seek to work out our personal issues as we run. Some fight this battle internally and others seek to make a connection with fellow runners as our defenses are stripped away.  The Jester shares his practice of helping others overcome obstacles during his runs as a mutually beneficial way of life that improves everyone's state of mind and gets us all closer to the finish line.   If you or your family are in need of assistance please call: 211 The Jester on instagram @runningwiththejester Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!

Dr. Jim Keane joins the Cultra Crew for an emotionally hard hitting, thought provoking, profound episode about life, the universe and everything. Phred, and his cat make a ruling declaring that Jim is the official winner of the 6 month guest contest. In addition to discussing the nature of addiction in all its forms, we discuss the impact of technology on social interactions and the issue of loneliness, which has been declared a national health crisis. We also discuss ethics, including the differences between satisfaction and pleasure, and the importance of human connections in this special community. We also talk old school Boston Marathon and the bandit culture, back when banditing was cool and wouldn't get you cancelled or publicly shamed by a blood thirsty muckraking Investigation social media mob. This episode will leave you feeling recharged, and full of hope. Kind of like emotional support, and support is good! The Bulldogs are an innovative peer-to-peer collective of recovering drug and alcohol abusers and their allies who use the fellowship of the road to provide support and solidarity to others like themselves. The Club was founded in 2015 by social worker and recovering heroin addict Mike Ferrulo who, in the 1970s, used long-distance running as part of his own rehab regimen. Ferrulo's belief that the courage and tenacity that running had instilled in him could help others on their own hard path to sobriety gave rise to the Boston Bulldogs.
