Miles With Marty Podcast

Rick Albanese is a guy I met online back in the early Spring this year when he reached out with questions about the Chief Ladiga 100.  After he finished the race, I learned it was his comeback race after beating cancer.  I love a good comeback story, so I asked him to share it with you.  With races of 26.2 or longer in 40 states so far, he has plenty of stories.  Enjoy!Marathon Animal Rescue - HomeMount to Coast | For runners who transcend distance.https://www.youtube.com/@Pacertravelhttps://sombrerorunning.com/eventshttps://www.patreon.com/c/MilesWithMartyhttps://squirrelsnutbutter.com/https://playonrelief.com/?ref=martygardnerSweat, Swat n Swear! - May 25, 2025Stevi's Roost 48 Hour Ultra - May 30, 2025Sombrero Sizzler - July 12, 2025The Hoot'n Bulldog Track Ultra - November 14, 2025RunFluent / FūlwiseFacebookRocycle LLC | IT Asset Management & Electronic Recycling

I have been following Emily Hawgood ever since I saw her at the runners meeting up by the stage for Western States in 2023.  She loves that race and just exudes positivity and joy.  Just absolutely grateful to be there and it showed in the way she carried herself.  It was a real treat to chat with Emily and hear her story.  Growing up in Zimbabwe and coming over to America with no guarantees but working her way into being a professional athlete and coach.  I hope you enjoy my chat with this amazing lady!@emilyhawgoodSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring SalvesPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Reliefhttp://mounttocoast.com/discount/marty@pacertravel - pathcrx@aol.comPacer Travel - YouTubeSober Sombrero RunningMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon

I really enjoyed a chat with Chris Worden.  We hear a bit pf his running story and discuss his training as he prepares to run Western States in 8 weeks.  We also dive deep into live streaming, how it's evolved and changed the way we get to follow our favorite races.  Also a little preview of Cocodona of course.  Enjoy!@clword77@mountainoutpostSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salveshttps://www.youtube.com/live/LcaJA9pRxZM?si=oIKAzxLz6csKlXp5https://mounttocoast.com/discount/MartyPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn ReliefPacer Travel - YouTubeMadre's Fiesta - May 10, 2025Stevi's Roost 48 Hour Ultra - May 30, 2025

James Ebert is a friend that I found in my preparation for Southern States 200.  He won the inaugural event in just over 48 hours, and I was hoping to get some tips from him to help me (a much slower guy) be able to complete the race.  It ended up not happening for me because of injury, but I've been able to chat with him a few times now.  James is no stranger to Florida races either, having done Death at Dupuis twice, Across Florida 200, and taking 2nd place overall this year at Long Haul 100.  He also went back to defend his title at Southern States.  You'll have to listen to see how that worked out.  Enjoy!@jamesebert256Donations for food/supplies costs at races | PatreonIt asks for $10 increments, but you can do any amount.  Thanks!https://www.youtube.com/@Pacertravelhttps://squirrelsnutbutter.com/https://playonrelief.com/?ref=martygardnerMount to Coast | For runners who transcend distance.Bronze Dragonfly 30 Hour Ultra - April 26, 2025Carolina Thread 8hr/12hr - May 3, 2025

Davy.... Davy Crockett.  He is an accomplished ultra runner with over 100 - 100 mile finishes, and quite the ultra-running historian.  He's also an author of many ultra running history books, race director, and podcaster.  If you're a fan of the sport, you probably already know of him, if you're knew, give him a follow.  You will learn a lot about the history of ultra running.  He's also over the Ultra Running Hall of Fame, keeps a running (pun inserted) list of the 100 club. (people with 100 or more 100 mile finishes)  I could talk for hours about just the history of the sport, but Davy has an interesting running story himself and the way he got started.  I love these stories.  Hope you enjoy and give him a follow on his podcast.@ultracrockettUltrarunning HistoryDaufuskie Island 100/50/RELAY - March 29, 2025The Bootlegger 100 Mile Trail Race - April 5, 2025Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salveshttps://mounttocoast.com?sca_ref=8429498.i3SphjUOzNPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Relief@pacertravel - 727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.com(451) Pacer Travel - YouTube

Aden St. Charles is a name that I have heard in the southeastern ultra-running circles ever since I have been in the sport.  She is as strong of an ultrarunner as you will ever meet, also humble and kind.  Always volunteering when she's not running.  Hailing from the beautiful city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, she has access to some beautiful trails and has run many races all over the country and placed high in most with quite a few wins.  She's got lots of great stories with good lessons and loves to share them.  She's also a coach.  Of course I love to talk period, so this is a long one.  Enjoy!@adenstcharlesSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring SalvesPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn ReliefMount to Coast | For runners who transcend distance.@pacertravel - 727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.comStephen's Legacy - Bigger Than, Inc.THE FLAMING POSSUM

I got the opportunity to crew Pam Reed for the 2024 Daytona 100.  Most folks know I enjoy helping others do epic things as much as doing it myself.  For Pam, this was 100 miler (or longer) finish 120, I believe, maybe 121.  She now has 122.  It was a sight to behold.  At 63 years old, she made 22 hours and change look fairly easy.  The big lesson I learned is minimal stop time.  Because this was a point to point race with minimal aid stations, crew meetups were fairly often.  Probably close to 25 times in 100 miles.  And in one stop, she changed all of her clothes as well as shoes and socks.  I still bet her stop time was way less than an hour.  Incredible.  She has so many accomplishments, we could do 5 episodes and not cover them all.  Many Badwater finishes with an overall win mixed in, Western States, Hardrock, Moad 240, Cocodona 250, on and on.  Enjoy.PlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Relief   code = MartyG20Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salvescode = lubeyourfriends@pacertravel - 727-433-2385 - pathcrx@aol.com(314) Pacer Travel - YouTubehttps://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.podbean.com%2Few%2Fpb-r7346-17f0045%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3RNTo_fnvprqdmi9mmDRzomRYaDg8SgMRxP_UNMSNhukN6Pb8wJq4FXsI_aem_5yLM3ZbTyQyzI9IR-mYx7Q&h=AT1IT9s8e7lvH_j2bM1gNAVUcRONtj_zpUZUoMWYDlFkeD-ZusIoltMlZc-Gd49WEBzXPzlJ3L5oVrvVWvF1Rmm0v_-qhDOF7rZI8VYbuK1kfLz-VI2VUTg22OZPpXS6dXv8G6QrzlGh4REzSg&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT0pxuuhlC7BzUBLE_6QNYBA14AkvTYSg2XvmoXcg2yeqmvaNthuEx2Of5HtS1AHiTfCMa-XWpXvkOIn_nyC15U3fAyiXYqt84Ex6zDAbPgUxXtcBtHAuxcH_SIB0L_JRRt4MlU_UJwVSXvdTu17exLlUxfkrQWnIlHUzlfnmXMG-SJdvTgN-xq9pC2rKMG0_nrdb0YQHgJThttps://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fskinners-locker-room%2Fid1786898161%3Fi%3D1000690669619&h=AT1cQySbXuu68AuoZa3cnR9olJB7HLKhF7O2-ntO5yUGpYz7Rm8qq5Un1Qk-TWRVfoeje7kknz_19nZMBMsdqEP_A_lvQMrnhHOLdAbRmyGfdKUCuk5-6JgTgINkMEzumVfpS1NWMsV36UZPgQ&__tn__=R]-R&c[0]=AT0pxuuhlC7BzUBLE_6QNYBA14AkvTYSg2XvmoXcg2yeqmvaNthuEx2Of5HtS1AHiTfCMa-XWpXvkOIn_nyC15U3fAyiXYqt84Ex6zDAbPgUxXtcBtHAuxcH_SIB0L_JRRt4MlU_UJwVSXvdTu17exLlUxfkrQWnIlHUzlfnmXMG-SJdvTgN-xq9pC2rKMG0_nrdb0YQHgJT

In this episode, I take a few minutes to discuss the good, bad, and ugly from my recent survival at Long Haul 100.  Then I jump into a very interesting interview with Doug Rosenberg of Mount to Coast shoe company.  Mount to Coast came on the ultra-running scene last Spring with 2 models of road shoes, a racer and a trainer.  They've since introduced a third model and have a trail shoe in the works. They have new technology in the foam and stability system that makes it a very durable, lightweight, and comfortable running shoe designed to go beyond the normal distance of competitive brands.  Mount to Coast came highly recommended by a few friends and guests of the show and it's still early for me. but I really like them.  Check out the interview and give them a try if you're interested.  Doug also discusses a 100k race series they are sponsoring so check it out!Mount to Coast | For runners who transcend distance.Store Locator – Mount to Coasthttps://www.youtube.com/live/E2gCih8M_7A?si=c7qa9Vxgc6uZ-_dvThe Bootlegger 100 Mile Trail Race - April 5, 2025Daufuskie Island 100/50/RELAY - March 29, 2025@pacertravel - 727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.comSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salvesdiscount code = lubeyourfriendsPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Reliefdiscount code = MartyG20

Nels Matson was born with a heart defect basically starving one side for oxygen.  So basically, his first few years were like training at altitude.  His own Leadville childhood.  At the age of 3 he had open heart surgery and at 5 was released to play sports.  He has never looked back, and most certainly has not taken his gifts for granted.  He has used his gift of stamina to make a difference in the world and has done so with several causes.  His most recent was a Transcon from San Francisco to New York City to raise funds and awareness for The Wounded Warrior Foundation as a part of Project Campbell's Call.  I'll let him tell you the rest.  Enjoy@toughasnelsProject Campbell's Call to Action - Fundraising For Wounded Warrior Project Community FundraisingSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring SalvesNew discount code = lubeyourfriendsPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Relief@pacertravel  -  727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.com

Andy Sholly is a friend of mine and a badass ultra runner from the Tampa area in Florida.  He prefers the backyard ultra format, and does very well at it.  He seems to be built for it.  When he's in race mode, he's just very efficient in every single aspect.  He saves all of the energy for running each yard.  Between each running segment he is in recovery/cool down mode and it is a spectacle to watch how efficient he has become.  Andy is an interesting guy and I'm sure you will enjoy getting to know him and hearing how a BYU person thinks.  Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salvesdiscount code = Timberfriends@pacertravel  -  pathcrx@aol.com  -  727-433-2385playonrelief.comdiscount code = martygardner

Ed "The Jester" Ettinghausen is a 62-year-old man that ran his first ultra at 46 years old.  He had run some marathons and decided to try an ultra.  His first ultra happened to be a 24 hour race and well, you guessed it, he made 100+ miles on his first try.  Now he didn't immediately set out to run 100's every weekend, but has evolved into 280 finished races of 100 miles or more. He's done 41 this year so far with 2 more planned this coming weekend.  When I first heard of Ed, I thought he probably had a big ego with the Jester schtick and all, but I was dead wrong.  Ed is one of the more humble and supportive humans that you will meet at a race.  He makes it his mission to search out those that are hurting and to help them endure.  I watched it in action recently and I was super inspired.  I hope you enjoy his story as much as me.@runningwiththejester@squirrelsnutbutterSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves@pacertravel727-433-2385 - pathcrx@aol.com

Last Saturday, 8/10, I flew out to Colorado to begin my TransRockies Run adventure, and wow, was it an adventure!  I got to hang with some friends, made a ton of new friends, see some epic scenery and run some really challenging mountain trails.  The Ortholite TransRockiesRun is a turnkey adventure.  You get yourself to Denver and they can take care of the rest.  They shuttle you to the base camp, feed you, and bring you back.  The courses are mapped out, supported, and the community is amazing.  I highly recommend.  There will be several episodes documenting this incredible week in the mountains, but I wanted to get this one out just to get that party started before I leave for my cruise.  Enjoy!TransRockies Run (transrockies-run.com) Discount code save $250!  = BRINGABUDDY2025Also, please listen up for an opportunity to support our friend Jim Miller with a virtual run during the intro.  http://www.atounh.com/Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code = TimberfriendsHome - PlayOn Reliefcode = martygardner15St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code = MWM20@pacertravel727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.com

Mikey Bee of Sandspur Ultras has a reputation for inventing crazy hard races in and around Jupiter, Florida to challenge the mind and body.  Some may call him sadistic.  But one thing's for sure, Mikey is a beloved member of the Florida Ultrarunning Community, and that community really shows up to run and volunteer at his races.  The Trident races are the last weekend in July.  There are 2 - half marathons, a daytime and nighttime.  There's a marathon, a 12-hour version and a 24-hour race.  You'll have to listen for the particulars.  My guests are 1st overall - Jamie Saunders, 2nd overall - Yianni Babiolakis, 2nd female - Loan Vo, 2nd male - Ramon Palomo, 3rd male - Luke Vidal.  What an amazing group of runners!  I think you'll enjoy hearing their stories, lessons, least favorite things, most favorite things, training tips, etc.  Check it out!@tara.dower@chumpchangefkt@sandspurultra@jameesunshine@ultrarunner_voMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | PatreonSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code = TimberfriendsHome - PlayOn Reliefcode = martygardner15St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code = MWM20@pacertravel - 727=433-2385 - pathcrx@aol.com

Lauren Klein is a UESCA certified ultra-running coach in the Reno, Nevada area.  I first heard about her and the excellent crewing and pacing skills she possesses in my interview with Cocodona 250 and Tahoe 200 champ Harry Subertas, her partner.  He also mentioned she was a coach which made me curious to hear her story.  Coming from the athletic trainer background at the Major League Baseball level gives her a unique perspective on physical ability, injury rehab, and many other important things.  I really enjoyed hearing her story and learning a bit about her coaching perspective.  Reach out for a consultation if you are interested.@laurenkleinkleinultracoachlauren.wordpress.comSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code - MWM20 - 20% discountMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | PatreonSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code - Timberfriends - 10% discountHome - PlayOn Reliefcode - martygardner15@pacertravel

Tara Dower is an ultrarunner from Virginia.  Very few hills there but she is not afraid of the mountain races.  Her most recent race was Hardrock 100 and she took 4th place.  She has wins at Umstead, Uwharrie, Blood Rock, Devil Dog, Hellbender, and Run Rabbit Run.  She holds an FKT already, she's also making a run at the Southbound Appalachian Trail FKT in just a few weeks.  Tara is such an energetic and positive person.  It was a treat to get to know her.  I think you will like it.  @tara.dower- Tara Dower (tara-treks.com)Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code - TimberfriendsHome - PlayOn Reliefcode - martygardner15St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code - MWM20@pacertravel727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.comMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon 

I first met Scott Owenby immediately after he sprinted past me at about a 6-minute pace to finish his first sub 24 - 100 miler at The Bronze Dragonfly in Savannah, Ga.  He looked like he could have gone sub 20 at that point, and he probably will one day.  Scott is a competitive guy that is fairly new on the 100 mile scene.  So, we will see where he takes it.  He's got an awesome story and does a great job telling it.  Enjoy!Run 4 a Reason's Rough Runners – Road Runners, Trail Runners, All Runners (roughrunnersr4r.com)Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code = TimberfriendsSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code = MWM20Home - PlayOn Reliefcode = martygardner15Miles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | PatreonSouthern States 200 - March 19, 2025 (ultrasignup.com)@pacertravel727-433-2385 - pathcrx@aol.com

I met Bob Watters at the 2nd crew meetup aid station at Cruel Jewel this year and then again saw him at the turnaround point.  He was crewing and pacing his son and I was crewing my friend Jamie.  I noticed him wearing that awesome Southern States 200 buckle and introduced myself.  I wanted to record a recap for the podcast and then fate would have it that my friend Amber peer-pressured me into running it this year.  So, selfishly I was looking for tips.  Bob is an accomplished ultra-runner having finished Pinhoti 9 times and other challenging races such as Blood Rock 100 and No Business.  He was also the state champ in cowboy style shooting a few years ago, hench the nickname "cowboy" which came from me, not him.  I think you will enjoy getting to know Bob and the Alabama races a little better and I bet you'll be wanting to check some of them out.    Links below.  Enjoy!Southeastern Trail RunsSouthern States 200 - March 19, 2025 (ultrasignup.com)Daufuskie Island 100 Mile Ultra – Run 4 a Reason's Rough Runners (roughrunnersr4r.com)Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code = TimberfriendsSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code = MWM20Home - PlayOn Reliefcode = martygardner15@pacertravel727-433-2385 - pathcrx@aol.comMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon  

Philip Nameich is another Florida ultra-running friend of mine.  We have run and crewed several of the same races, had the same coach for a period of time and share a passion for running ultras and the community.  He's coming off a finish at Tahoe 200 and his first 200 miler as well as a great finish to 2023 with a sub-24-hour finish at Daytona 100.  He's also a Race Director in South Florida for the El Gato Rebelde 6 and 12 hour ultra.  It's held Spring and Fall.  He's also a heckuva nice guy.  Hope you enjoy!@philnams@elgatorebeldeultraEl Gato Rebelde Ultra Winter Edition - November 23, 2024 (ultrasignup.com)Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code - TimberfriendsSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code - MWM20Home - PlayOn Reliefcode - martygardner15@pacertravelDaufuskie Island 100/50/RELAY - March 29, 2025 (ultrasignup.com)Miami 100 - September 28, 2024 (ultrasignup.com)Miles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon

The Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run.  100 miles in a day.  Where are my heart emojis?  This is the super bowl of ultra running for many of us.  To me, it is way bigger than the Boston Marathon.  I know there are many Boston veterans that will debate that, but this is my opinion.  I love the race, the venue, the people with all my heart.  I cried many times just walking around and feeling the energy last year.  Circumstances forced me to miss it this year, so here's my salute to the greatest weekend in Ultra Running.  I hope you enjoy and it inspires a few of you to watch a little more streams and stalk IG a little harder Saturday.  Below are links to some awesome videos to watch and get fired up.  No particular order.https://youtu.be/zy1as6CTYXI?si=C4-zpLjWv7spEXFd https://youtu.be/kYgcTJBLwsU?si=3BQx1cZ_fyY7RWCihttps://youtu.be/eHoXgYPvj6o?si=AWb4O9VPJOjCsLFthttps://youtu.be/JUZG_XHUenY?si=EPYcwQtZ1qQjkMX3@pacertravelSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code - TimberfriendsSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code MWM20Home - PlayOn Reliefcode - martygardner15

Harry Subertas was born and raised in Lithuania, which is mostly flat, but he had dreams of climbing mountains.  So he made his way eventually to Alaska where he landed a dream job of guiding mountain climbing expeditions.  Like for so many of us, Covid affected his livelihood, and he ended up having to do other things and his childhood love for running eventually found its way into his adult life.  And wow, he has come a long way in a short time.  He is a 2:45 marathoner, so no slouch in the "shorter" races, but seems to have found his groove in the 200+ mile category where he is 3 for 3 with wins.  He is a fun guy to get to know, very humble and soft spoken, but confident.  He's an easy guy to pull for.  Hope you enjoy!@harry_subertasMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | PatreonSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code TimberfriendsHome - PlayOn Reliefcode martygardner15St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code MWM20@pacertravelRun 4 a Reason's Rough Runners – Road Runners, Trail Runners, All Runners (roughrunnersr4r.com)Running Ninja Events (runningninjamiami.com)Revolution Running Co. – Run fast.

Andy Barrett is as nice a guy as you will ever meet.  My first encounter with him was January 2023 at Long Haul 100 down in Florida.  This was at the old location with the 3 out and backs.  He was at an aid station on the second leg at the turnaround.  I was pacing my buddy Jim Miller.  It was well after midnight and freezing cold, but it was the most awesome aid station I had ever experienced up until that point.  They really epitomized ultra running community!  I had talked with Andy several times about doing a Lake 2 Ocean episode because he loves that race and has done it many times.  This year after the 2024 edition it just worked out.  He is finishing up training for his 2nd chance at a silver buckle at Western States and had a little time to chat and here it is.  Andy is such a kind human and great storyteller, that all I had to do was listen.  Hope you enjoy.Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code = TimberfriendsHome - PlayOn Reliefcode = martygardner15St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code MWM20Miles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon@pacertravel

Jeff Browning aka Bronco Billy recently placed second in the Cocodona 250.  He lead the race for a lot of miles before a lung condition caused him to slow down drastically losing the lead in the last 5 miles.  He shares his experience with this race and many of the others he has run.   Jeff is also a very accomplished coach.  He has the second most wins in ultras of 100 miles or longer with 30.  Just absolute joy to talk to and an honor to share with you.  Enjoy!@gobroncobilly Miles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | PatreonSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)MWM20 - 20% off discount codeSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)Timberfriends - 10% off discount codeHome - PlayOn Reliefmartygardner15 - 15% off discount code@pacertravel

Tony Gadzi is a 20 year old college student from Jersey.  I first met him in the middle of the Hungryland 100 down in south Florida.  First off, this race is one you would expect to see all the usual suspects (the ones who thrive in difficult conditions) at a Sandspur Ultras race because Mikey Bee (race director) is a bit of a sadist.  He doesn't have any easy races.  I see this unfamiliar young man and the first time I noticed him he was running barefoot.  I introduced myself to him at the end of one of his loops and of course offered him food.  He was probably the most polite and respectful person there, lol, with the race photographers, the Krishers a close second.  Haha.  We all know the entire ultra running community is big on love and respect, so this is grasping at straws but I digress.  I wanted/needed to hear his story after meeting him and watching him chip away at this epic challenge without ever showing 1 smidge of doubt.  And here it is!  I'm happy to share it with you.  Enjoy.@gadabossSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code Timberfriends - 10% discountHome - PlayOn Reliefcode martygardner15 - 15% discountSt. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)MWM20 - 20% discount@pacertravelHOME (sandspurultra.com)Hungryland - March 22, 2025 (ultrasignup.com)

Episode 100 is here!  Thank you so much to the listeners and supporters!  Be sure to listen at the beginning for an opportunity to win lots of cool swag such as race entries, t-shirts, and product.  I had no idea who I could get to be "the perfect guest" for episode 100.  I figured I would just keep talking to awesome humans and the answer would come.  Well, that is exactly what happened.  First off, she has won her last 11 races.  Mostly 100 milers, with a 100k and a 250 miler which was Cocodona last month.  So, to say she is a badass ultra runner is an understatement.  She was so passionate that her part literally required no editing.  I think you will smile a lot as you hear her story.  If you or someone you know is a series ultra related corporate sponsor prospect for her, please give this a listen and or share it.  Thanks again for your support!  Important links below.@rachel_entrekinFundraiser by Rachel Entrekin : Apparently, running is expensive (gofundme.com)St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)code = MWM20Home - PlayOn Reliefcode martygardner15Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)code = TimberfriendsMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon@pacertravel

Simon Guerard is an experienced ultra runner with around 40 -100 milers or longer under his belt.  He started filming his race experiences at some point and has started a YouTube channel called Running with Simon.  He does an awesome job recapping races, giving tips, and reviewing the equipment that he uses.  He's not biased by corporate sponsors, so his tips come from a neutral viewpoint.  He has a great sense of humor.  His movies make you smile.  I think listening to his story will make you smile.  Check it out.  Give his YouTube and IG a follow.  I think you'll enjoy.@runningwithsimon(7) Ultra Marathon Trail Running with Simon - YouTubeSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)10% discount code = TimberfriendsHome - PlayOn Relief15% discount code = martygardner15St. Pete Running Company Florida | Top 50 Running Store (stpeterunningco.com)20% discount code = MWM20 (case sensitive)@pacertravelMiles With Marty Podcast | Home base for the ultra-running community | Patreon

Elsa Jaworski is such a joy to talk to!  She is not interested in being the fastest.  She wants running to be fun and bring joy and she does an excellent job at it.  She ends up doing pretty well at the fast thing along the way.  She had a 2nd place finish at Tahoe 200 last year and top 10 at Cocodona this year.  She's got lots of interesting goals in the future, one of which several of my friends have done or are currently planning to do as well.  Across Florida 200.  She's also a Georgia Bulldog and that's pretty awesome!  Give it a listen.  I think you will instantly become a fan of Elsa!@elsajaworski@squirrelsnutbutter@playonrelief@pacertravel@thefeedmeSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves (squirrelsnutbutter.com)Home - PlayOn Reliefdiscount code martygardner15#1 Resource for Athletes

Wow!  And just like that the 100 miles with Marty project has come to an end.  What an incredible experience it has been for me to witness the journey of three smart, courageous, adventurous, young ladies as they trained their way into being 100 mile ultra finishers!  Buckle up!  I know their lives will be forever changed by the experience and maybe some physical scars as well, lol, but I feel like I reaped more benefits than they did.  I mean, I drew so much inspiration and life lessons from meeting Kelley, Kassy, and Amber and seeing their transformation.  Being a 100 mile ultra finisher just gives you a sense of internal strength and confidence that is undeniable.  I hope you, the listener, enjoyed their journey as much as me.  I present to you the post-race interviews with the runners and their crews.  Please give these ladies and their awesome supporters some love for their accomplishments!  Big thanks to the 3 great coaches that put these athletes in a position to succeed:Run Natural CoachDon't Just Run, Run Fluent (dontjustrun.com)jeffgalloway.comAnd the fantastic race directors for putting on two amazing races:Revolution Running Co. – Run fast.
