In this first check-in with Delirious WEST 2026 athlete Gabe Alves, we dive into a wild few weeks that included a bee sting in the middle of the WA outback, lessons in resilience, and a surprising breakthrough in running technique. From dodging anaphylaxis on a remote motorbike adventure to rediscovering efficient foot strike after 7,500 metres of vert in October, Gabe's story reminds us that endurance is as much about awareness as it is about toughness.

Willkommen zur Oktober-Folge des Alles Laufbar Mitglieder-Podcasts! Wir, Benni und Christian, diskutieren wieder einmal über aktuelle Themen aus der Trailrunning-Community. Wir starten mit etwas Persönlichem: Benni erzählt von seinem Aufenthalt auf Mallorca und seinen Verletzungsproblemen, nachdem er sich beim Fußball einen Muskelfaserriss zugezogen hat. Er berichtet von seinen Bemühungen, wieder auf die Beine zu kommen, und beleuchtet die Herausforderung, Rückschläge im Sport zu akzeptieren.Danach reflektieren wir über den Hype um Backyard-Ultras und den “Last Soul Ultra”. Anschließend wird ein kritischer Blick auf den Mozart 100 by UTMB geworfen, der 2026 von Salzburg nach Fuschel am See verlegt wird und bei dem die immer weiter steigende Startgelder für Unmut sorgen. Außerdem greifen wir die Debatte um die Golden Trail World Series und deren Zukunft im Trailrunning auf.Dies ist nur er erste Teil der Mitglieder-Folge.

Nog nooit ging Imo zó erg Naar de Vaantjes. Hij deed mee aan de Dutch Backyard Ultra: een race waarin de drang naar het onbekende het wint van gezond verstand. In een totaal nieuwe situatie probeerde hij alles uit zijn lichaam te persen. Dat lukte lang, maar na 17 rondes van 6,7 kilometer, in totaal 114 kilometer, was het klaar. Totaal leeg, maar een avontuur rijker. In deze aflevering blikken Susan en Imo terug op deze bizarre afvalrace. Over de lange nacht, het eten, de paadjes, de crew, het festivalterrein dat verandert in een veld vol zombies, de fluit, en natuurlijk de winnaar: Onno Overes.

By Ken Loucks - This message invites listeners to rethink what “running the race” really means. Instead of chasing a finish line we can see, it shows that faith is more like Big Al's Backyard Ultra—a race with no set end, where endurance is tested one lap at a time. Through the eyes of someone who successfully won
Wow! Sie hat ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften abgeschlossen, mit ihrer Zwillingsschwester Stephanie ein Modelabel aufgebaut, verweist auf über 450.000 Follower auf Instagram – und ist eine sehr gute Läuferin und Ultratrail-Läuferin. Wir sprechen heute über all diese unterschiedlichen Themenbereiche mit Julia Bässler.Die Mode, die die Bässlers machen, sind nicht (nur) Laufleiberln oder Laufhosen, sondern Hingucker: „Ich würde sie schon als sehr außergewöhnlich beschreiben. Es sind sehr enge Leggings, meistens mit viel Glanz, Kunstleder-Imitat, einfach sehr glossy auch und vor allem auffällig. All das ist eben unsere Modemarke Pairadize.“Zum Laufen ist Julia Bässler vor vier Jahren gekommen - das kam eher aus so einer Stresssituation heraus, sagt sie: „Ich hatte viel im Studium zu tun, ich habe viel fürs Unternehmen gearbeitet, ich war sehr ausgelastet, also schon fast überlastet und habe mir dann im Sommer einfach mal die Turnschuhe angezogen und bin raus in die Natur, um den Kopf frei zu bekommen. Und dann wurde aus dem Spazierengehen allmählich ein Laufen..."Wer nun glaubt, dass Bässler das Laufen als Marketingmittel für das Business nutzt, irrt. Die Wienerin war zwei Mal über die 35 Kilometer beim Großssglockner Ultra Trail dabei und schlug sich sehr beachtlich, lief erfolgreich Ultratrails in Utah. Trailruns gäben ihr am meisten, sagt sie, sie war aber auch schon (eher ungeplant) beim Backyard Ultra in Korneunburg am Start (und lief dabei eine Ultra-Distanz). Beim Vienna City Marathon war sie dabei, mit Zeiten von 3:32 und 3:40 Stunden. Respekt!Sie motiviert und inspiriert, erhält Nachrichten von ihren Followern, dass sich diese oder jene zum ersten Halbmarathon angemeldet haben, und blickt selbst ihrem ersten 100-km-Lauf und einer eventuellen Teilnahme am Boston-Marathon entgegen.Wir erfahren, dass Julia Bässler gerne in der Lobau läuft und sich für Tierschutz einsetzt und dass es durchaus Aktionen gibt, die für Läuferinnen sehr unangenehm sind. Männern fehlt – verallgemeinernd formuliert – zuweilen die Sensibilität.Ein spannendes Gespräch mit einer spannenden jungen Frau! Reinhören!
What kind of person dreams up the hardest race on earth, and then follows it up with one of the weirdest? This week on The Trailhead, Zoë and Brendan dive deep into the mind of Lazarus Lake, the man behind both the Barkley Marathons and Big's Backyard Ultra. Our guest, author Jared Beasley, joins to talk about his new book on Laz, unpacking the mystery, mischief, and mythology that made one man's backyard into a global endurance phenomenon. We explore what drives people to suffer on purpose, why Laz's races capture our collective imagination, and what they say about the culture of ultrarunning itself.
In deze aflevering leer je alles over de Backyard Ultra! Een bizar loopevenement waarbij deelnemers elk uur één ronde van 6,7 kilometer lopen, net zo lang tot er nog maar één loper over is. Imo doet zelf mee, en organisator Lotte van Beem is te gast. Met haar team organiseert ze jaarlijks 46 trails in Nederland, waaronder de Dutch Backyard Ultra. Hoe werkt het eigenlijk om een race te organiseren waarvan je niet weet hoe lang hij duurt? Hoeveel eten moet je inkopen en koken voor een meerdaags event? En hoe blijf je zelf wakker terwijl anderen maar blijven lopen? Imo geeft antwoord op de vraag “waarom?!” en vertelt over zijn strategie. Verder blikken we vooruit op de Amsterdam Marathon en terug op Chicago en Melbourne. Veel luisterplezier!

Luke ran his first Backyard Ultra last year at MVP where he completed 12 yards. Since that first Backyard experience Luke has been focussed on improving at the format and working hard which is paying off. This year Luke has run at MVP, MelbOURne, Dead Cow Gully and GV, improving each time. At GV Luke finished with 52 yards and a top 3 performance. That 52 yards places Luke fourth on the UK At Large list and he is excited and extremely motivated to run on team UK next year.
Champion Ultra Runner Holly Ranson on Goals, Training & Mental Toughness In this episode of the Women's Running Collective, Hayley and Jussie chat with Australian ultra champion Holly Ranson, who currently holds every major national record — from the 12-hour and 24-hour runs to the 100-mile, 200km, and Backyard Ultra. Holly joins us from France, where she's training at altitude ahead of the World Ultra Track Championships. We dive into her training approach, the mindset behind pushing limits, and how she balances massive goals with everyday life. Holly shares her experiences as a self-coached athlete, her thoughts on motivation and routine, and her advice for any runner chasing their next breakthrough no matter the distance. We also celebrate recent marathon highlights from the community and share a dose of inspiration for anyone looking to reconnect with their running “why.” Tune in for an honest, uplifting conversation about resilience, routine, and redefining what's possible.

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we're diving into a world of grit, genius, and a little bit of madness with Jared Beasley, a runner and writer who knows a thing or two about chasing demons on the trails.Jared takes us on his incredible journey from a troubled past to finding his purpose through running and writing. He pulls back the curtain on the enigma himself, Laz, the legendary race director, and shares what it's truly like to enter his world—a world Jared describes as a modern-day Willy Wonka factory that tests the very character of those who dare to enter.We talk about the intense experience of the Backyard Ultra, the raw power of willpower, and the profound lessons learned from Laz's unique philosophy. It's a powerful conversation about personal growth, the vital role of community, and the art of turning pain into purpose.Jared's story is a testament to the fact that running can be a path to redemption, and that sometimes, the most challenging races are the ones that save us.Two links to purchase "The Endurance Artist" below:Simon & Schuster: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Endurance-Artist/Jared-Beasley/9798990795822Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Endurance-Artist-Lazarus-Lake-Barkley/dp/B0DV4NBP4S
Mathieu 'Dubes' Dube is one of the OG's of Backyard Ultra's in Australia, breaking 40 yards back in 2022. This year has definitely been a breakout year for Dubes, breaking 50 for the first time in April and last weekend finishing as the Last One Standing by running 60 yards at GV, earning himself a Silver Ticket onto team Australia. Peter Clarke has believed in Dubes for a long time and has been at the helm crewing at all of Dubes races for the last 12 months.
The Secret Coach to the HYROX Elite – Mike Chadwick This week on the show we are joined by Mike Chadwick. Mike is former Paratrooper, Special Forces Support Group Operator, Royal Army Physical Training Corps Instructor and author. When he left the forces, Mike originally worked exclusively with Tactical Athletes to get them ready to serve. However, he has since welcomed athletes from all walks of life including many HYROX athletes. The techniques he uses get results, but Mike is discrete about his client base unless they consent to publicity. There is a good chance that your favourite athlete has visited the RedOn HYROX Performance Centre.

Andrew Drummond is the heartbeat of the White Mountain trail running community -ultrarunner, ski mountaineer, and race director who set the FKT on the Direttissima, summiting all 48 NH 4,000-footers in under five days. We dive into his adventures in ultramarathons, backcountry skiing, and community building in Jackson, NH, including the White Mountain 100, Bubba's Backyard Ultra, and guiding Scott Jurek through the toughest terrain in the East. As our conversation with Andrew unfolds, what emerges isn't just a tale of mountains or miles, but a love story-of place, of lifestyle, of belonging. It's about finding connection, losing it, and carrying that emptiness until the trail brings you back to what makes you whole.

For our 200th episode, I'm honored to welcome two legends of the endurance world: Lazarus Lake, the mastermind behind the Barkley Marathons and Big's Backyard Ultra and author Jared Beasley, whose new book The Endurance Artist dives deep into Laz's life and legacy. We talk about what it really means to chase the impossible, how pain and discomfort shape us, and why the “Danny's” of the sport (everyday athletes who rise beyond expectation) are so inspiring. Laz shares lessons from a lifetime of running, coaching, and creating races that break people down and build them back up, while Jared gives us a writer's view into the grit, humor, and heart of these iconic events. From dogs as life coaches to the team dynamics hidden in solo suffering, this conversation is a raw and memorable celebration of endurance, resilience, and living life to its fullesthttps://8020books.com/product/the-endurance-artist/Life Coaching with Travis MacyAre you a middle-aged man looking for a wise and powerful teammate to support your expansive journey in work, family, athletics, and life?
