Podcast appearances and mentions of alex varner

First run in 1905, The Dipsea Race is the oldest trail race in America. It is run every year on the second Sunday in June. The scenic 7.4 mile course from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach in Marin County, CA, is considered to be one of the most beautiful courses in the world. The stairs and steep trails make it a grueling and treacherous race. And its unique handicapping system has made winners of men and women of all ages. Without races like Dipsea, the sport of trail running may be different from how we know it today, and we feel like it's super important to preserve these historic event for the present and future of our sport. Alex Varner - the Dipsea legend - has run it every year, except one, since 2003. In this interview with Kirsten Kortebein (the host of our podcast for one day!) he walks us through the Dipsea course, experience and vibe.

The 50th episode of the year is a “best of” compilation of highlights from 12 of the most impactful conversations that I've had over the past 12 months.

“It's hard to look back and see what resulted despite your best efforts. You know, sh*t doesn't go the way you want it to all the time. You can't do anything about that. OK, you can feel down—that's natural—but if you can look back and say, ‘I did my best,' you shouldn't have any regrets around that. If you have strong regrets around it, it probably means you weren't doing your best. There are screw-ups, that happens—that's being human and living—but if you can forgive yourself for those and overall [say] I put my best for forward, what else can you ask for? What else can you do? That's all you can do.” It's both a privilege and a pleasure to share this week's episode with you. It's with my friend and sometimes training partner, Alex Varner, and we recently sat down at his kitchen table to continue a conversation that started a few months ago on some runs together about moving on from the sport of running, or at least reevaluating our relationship with it. Alex has been running competitively since high school and has done some pretty amazing things in the sport: he's won a national title in the 50K, he's been top 10 at Western States, he's won and broke the course record at Lake Sonoma, he's put up the fastest time at the Dipsea Race a record 9 times, he's run a 2:21 marathon, and he's also won the Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh, NC. After 20+ years of being a competitive athlete, Alex's relationship to the sport is in an interesting place and we spent this entire episode talking about identity, motivation, letting go, and a lot more.

Kia ora Whanau. This week, Eugene and Matt have the pleasure of speaking to Jason Koop, the Director of Coaching for Carmichael Training Systems. Jason is one of the premiere coaches in the ultramaraton world, and has coached many professional athletes to high levels of success within the sport. Koop’s roster has included such names as Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Jen Benna, Larisa Dannis, Dakota Jones, Missy Gosney, Alex Varner, Ford Smith...Gosh, the list goes on. Jason is known for his ability to convey quantitative data into a qualitative framework, which is especially important when working with athletes that may very quickly get into the weeds when the raw data and technical terms are rolled out (Stand up, Matt Rayment). Jason got his start coaching youth in track whilst himself a teen. Jason not only talks the talk, his personal ultrarunning resume includes two top-10 finishes at the Leadville Trail 100 Run and finishes at some of ultrarunning’s most formidable events, including the Western States Endurance Run, the Badwater 135, the Wasatch 100, and the Hardrock 100. Currently Jason is preparing for Tor de Geants, a 330-plus kilometre self-supported race in Italy’s Aosta Valley. In this conversation we discuss Koop’s upcoming TDG attempt, Relative Perceived Effort, The Hierarchy of Needs for Ultramarathon Runners and the joy of running with dogs. We coined the term “Rigby Perceived Effort” and also discuss food, cycling, and why the state of mental grit is as important as cardiovascular health. As well as Jason’s excellent conversation, this episode sees Matt and Eugene excitedly back together behind the mic, wondering, after two weeks of tours and live shows, why there is no applause. We have all the regular goodness, Stuff You Should Know, Greatest Run Ever and Queen Ruth Croft’s continued domination of Europe. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Alex Varner is an accomplished distance runner.  In April he completed his first 50 mile race, Lake Sonoma 50 miler, where he came in fourth place and earning a birth in the Western States 100 Endurance Run.  After just 2 1/2 months of training, he competed in his first 100 mile race finishing an impressive 7th place.  He seemed like the perfect person to talk about the many different race distances and how they differ.  From 5K to 100 miles, what are the differences in training, nutrition, pace, strategy, mental toughness, etc. Take the Tailwind Challenge at: Tailwind Nutrition    Check out the cool head TORCHES made for trail running at Petzl Get free shipping and no blisters if you order some RunGoo Enter code: TRN2014 when you check out.
