Can We Slow Aging- learn more with Dr. Bill Andrews Watch the video interview: https://youtu.be/l8-fSgSdD5o What if aging isn't simply something we have to accept—but a biological process scientists may eventually be able to influence? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with longevity researcher Dr. Bill Andrews, who has spent more than three decades studying telomeres, telomerase, cellular aging, and the possibility of extending human healthspan. Dr. Andrews' fascination with aging began as a child when his father challenged him to grow up and help find a cure for aging. That mission eventually led him into groundbreaking telomere and telomerase research—and it continues to drive his work today. We dive into what happens at the cellular level as we get older and, importantly, what we can do TODAY to support our healthspan while longevity science continues to evolve. In this episode, we explore: • What actually happens to our cells as we age • What telomeres are and why they matter • The role of telomerase in cellular aging • Why telomeres shorten over time • Genetics versus lifestyle in the aging process • Exercise, stress, recovery, and longevity • Whether too much endurance exercise can become a stressor • The connection between muscle health and healthy aging • Telomerase and the important question of cancer risk • Where longevity and anti-aging research may be heading next • What we can do TODAY while science continues searching for ways to extend healthy human lifespan Dr. Andrews is also an accomplished ultramarathon runner who completed the legendary Badwater 135, giving him a unique perspective on exercise, resilience, performance, recovery, and longevity. Aging, Resilience & The FutureYou Method™ This conversation connects perfectly with what I teach through The FutureYou Method™: Foundations → Signals → Adaptation → Resilience → FutureYou™ We cannot control every aspect of aging, but the signals we send our bodies every day through nutrition, movement, muscle-building, sleep, stress, recovery, and our environment matter. Healthy aging isn't only about adding years to your life. It's about building the strength, metabolic health, resilience, and capacity to keep doing what you love as you get older. Your future self is being built by the signals you create today.

He's run over 224 miles in 48 hours at Across the Years. And this past July, he became the first Rhode Islander ever to finish Badwater 135 — with Kevin somewhere out on that same course behind him.Last October, Cole was at Mammoth 200 but not racing it. He was keeping Kevin company late in the race, pacing him through a stretch of not sleeping at all. This year he's on the other side of it.Cole joins us to talk about what he took from watching a race fall apart in real time, the strange work of transitioning from Badwater's hyper-specific pavement training back into trail legs, and why running punchy, rocky, endlessly up-and-down terrain in Rhode Island may be better Mammoth prep than it sounds.We also get one of the best video game stories of the series so far: Cole was on pace for a mid-50-hour virtual finish — a time Kevin still hasn't managed — when a pop-up appeared near the second-to-last aid station. He scrolled, tapped without reading, and was immediately disqualified for accepting aid outside an aid station. His wife Ashley, meanwhile, finished in the low 60s on her very first try, which Cole attributes to thirteen years of crewing him.Plus: the MBA's expansion structure gets formalized (Mingus is the league, Mammoth gets the MBL), Cole reveals a free-throw percentage in the high 80s, and we float a future episode on the psychology of fun in ultrarunning.In this episode:Pacing at Mammoth last year and what it taught him about racing itPost-Badwater recovery and getting trail legs backRhode Island training terrain and why it maps well to MammothThe DNF heard round the world: reading the fine print in a video gameJerseys, free throws, and the birth of the Mammoth Basketball LeagueA course record prediction, and why tactics may matter more than early speedMammoth 200 kicks off Friday, October 2nd in Mammoth Lakes, California.

This week we sit down with Laura Watts, fresh off her brilliant run at the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Race. An awesome victory, made even more impressive considering she's still not fully recovered from her fifth finish at Badwater.We absolutely loved this chilled chat with Laura. From bumping into famous passengers during her day job, to training stories, to what it's actually like running through Death Valley again and again, to the power of CurraNZ as part of her training and racing, it's all in there.And of course, Laura rounds things off with a banger of an Instagram song choice.HARRIER - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEAANDTRAILS15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbJANJI - Use the code T&T to receive 15% off.https://janjiuk.avln.me/c/LJuTjHlJEiHdCENTURION RUNNING - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off all ordershttps://www.centurionultrarunningstore.com/*Excluding Sale ItemsBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/PAmERmkwPealContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Yellow Belly Ultra - https://yellowbellyultras.co.uk/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/

Just days before Badwater 135, Sally received an unexpected call offering her a spot in the race after she had already stopped heat training and shifted her focus toward TDS in the Alps. With only five days to prepare, she chose to say yes, reset her expectations, and approach one of the toughest races in the world very differently than she had in the past. Sally shares how slowing down, listening to her body, leaning on an incredible crew, and letting go of performance goals turned into one of her most meaningful race experiences.

Send us Fan MailIf you run or follow the ultramarathon world, you know who Harvey Lewis is. For the uninitiated, Harvey is a 15-time Badwater 135 finisher, including winning it in 2014 in 23:52:55 and in 2021 in 25:50:23, a time he almost matched this year at age 50. He is a backyard ultra recordholder by running 108 yards, which is 450 miles over 4½ days, at Big Dog's Backyard Ultra. He is a worldwide running traveler adventurer, activist, vegan champion, and schoolteacher in Cincinnati who notably run-commutes to work. OK, that is the short list. And he is well-known as one of the truly nice guys in the sport. If you are watching this on the WASP YouTube channel, you can see Harvey in his other natural habitat, in his classroom wearing a shirt and tie. This wide-ranging episode follows a different format in that I gathered questions from runners that I posed to Harvey. Harvey had just returned from running the Last Soul Ultra in Germany, so many of the questions came from a run club over there that my good friend Artem Bituzki runs with. We cover everything from how he pulls off his run commuting, his sleep patterns during his backyard ultras, his recent 250 mile run from New York City to Washington, DC to highlight the civil rights in American history that was lost when the Treasury department changed the coin designs issued to commemorate the U.S.'s 250th anniversary, why he keeps going back to Badwater, and a lot more. If you wonder how Harvey has stayed ailment-free through all of these extreme competitions, he attributes much of it to his vegan diet. He gives the best explanation about why he is still a vegan, and all of the positives that diet has for animal welfare, the environment, and the planet in general. I loved that because he perfectly hit the nail on the head with his very logical and compassionate points, which are also the reasons I've embraced that diet, along with simply feeling great and more energetic. I greatly appreciate Harvey sharing so many tips with our listeners, and making this a really fun chat.Harvey LewisInstagram @harveylewisultrarunnerFacebook Harvey Lewis - Ultra RunnerBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138
When Jasmin Paris sprinted toward the yellow gate at Frozen Head in March 2024 with barely 99 seconds to spare, documentary photographer David Miller was there to capture what instantly became one of the most iconic images in endurance sport history. But behind that single frame lies a much bigger story about storytelling, creative grit, and the raw underbelly of ultra running. This week, returning guest David joins John and Steven for a deep dive into the craft of seeing what everyone else walks past. From living out of his car for seven days in brutal winter conditions to document the Montane Winter Spine Race for his upcoming photo book, to taking water pistols and dry ice into the 55°C furnace of Death Valley crewing and pacing Sophie Power at Badwater 135. We talk about:The reality behind that historic Barkley Marathons finish line moment and resisting the trap of being defined by a single shot. Why documentary photography isn't about shiny finish lines, but rather aid stations, toilet blocks, exhaustion, and the messy "in-between" moments.The painstaking anatomy of creating SPINE: scouting 100 course locations, sleeping trailside, and assembling a visual jigsaw of winter suffering.Pacing through Death Valley at Badwater: cooling strategies, dry ice logistics, and the pure team dynamic of crossing the line together.Cutting through the social media noise and visual saturation at mega-events like UTMB and Lakeland.Balancing life as a working gas engineer while maintaining the freedom to shoot running purely on your own terms.Plus, we talk personal running journeys, navigating creative slumps, and stick around for David's track pick to close out the show.We've also some major news on the podcasts Autumnal March Drop!!

At just 21 years old, Kaylee Frederick has already established herself as one of the most exciting young ultrarunners on the East Coast. She ran her first 100 miler at 16 years old, and when she was 18 became the youngest ever finisher of The Badwater 135. In 2026, she won the Eastern States 100 outright, setting a new women's course record in brutally hot conditions. She also completed the Pennsylvania Triple Crown, finishing as the overall fastest person and Queen of the Mountain. But Kaylee's story goes well beyond race results. In this episode, Kaylee talks about discovering running as a kid, finding ultrarunning at 14, losing her father at age six, and how those experiences shaped the person and runner she has become. She opens up about depression, anxiety, therapy, faith, and learning to deal with the negative voices in her head. We also get deep into her Eastern States race including the moment she realized she was leading the entire field and the wild final miles when she was convinced someone was right behind her. Most importantly, Kaylee talks about a simple goal that has become central to her life: She doesn't want to just survive. She wants to actually live.

Ultrarunning eventually becomes a mental problem. The body hurts, the race stops going to plan, and the question becomes what the best ultrarunners understand about continuing when quitting makes sense.Harvey Lewis has spent 30 years figuring that out. In part two of our conversation in Ohio, we get into the mental strategies behind Backyard Ultra, why different races require different mindsets, the failures that changed how Harvey competes, and what decades of Badwater, journey runs, and 200-milers have taught him about going farther than he thought possible.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Thumbnail photo by Romain MayambiTopics / Timestamps00:00 Harvey Lewis Intro01:15 The Mental Game of Ultrarunning10:47 Learning How Not to Quit14:06 Different Mindsets for Different Races16:55 Pilgrimages and Journey Runs23:31 What Failure Taught Harvey Lewis30:33 What the Best Ultrarunners UnderstandResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Borderlands.ccHigh TonesRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack
Max is back on the Everyday Ultra Podcast—and this time, he's coming off one of the most jaw-dropping performances in ultrarunning history. After setbacks, DNFs, and plenty of people questioning what he was capable of, Max finally put all the pieces together at Badwater 135. The real story isn't just what happened on race day. It's everything that went into making that performance possible.Behind betting on yourself, the training changes that helped unlock another level, and what it takes to stay patient when a race feels like it's falling apart. From brutal heat preparation and ultra-specific training to race strategy, consistency, and digging deeper than you thought possible.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why your biggest setback might not say anything about your actual potential• How intentional training can transform an already-strong athlete• What serious heat training can actually look like• Why patience can be your biggest weapon on race day• How to stay locked into your plan when everything feels wrong• How to use doubt as fuel • Why celebrating your wins matters just as much as learning from your failuresSHOW LINKSWant to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?

The full Loopy Looper recap is here. Bryana and Michael go deep on their individual races. Bryana covers her chaotic morning, from a closed Wawa, blood on the floor, arriving 15 minutes before the start, no water for the first loop, cramping and lung struggles through the first half, a Tylenol-and-Alani turning point at loop six, Ryan's heroic crewing debut (including getting screamed at for the Vaseline), a crotch rocket motorcycle on the race trail, and crossing the finish line on loop 10 in just under 11 hours. Michael recaps his 40-mile day, waking up sick at 3am, acid reflux from allergies spiraling into nausea, Frito rescue attempts, and the decision to DNF with his feet and legs still feeling strong.

Harvey Lewis is one of ultrarunning's most accomplished endurance athletes, but the more interesting question might be how a high school civics teacher from Ohio became capable of doing any of this. Badwater, Backyard Ultras, Barkley, 250-mile runs. Harvey has built an extraordinary career without making running his entire life.I spent a morning with Harvey at his home in Ohio, days before his 16th consecutive Badwater, trying to understand what makes Harvey Harvey. We talk about the dreamer and engineer he inherited from his parents, the teachers who changed his life, how running and teaching grew together, and why the hardest races have become something closer to pilgrimages.The conversation ends somewhere more personal, with Harvey remembering the person he still imagines waiting for him when things get hard.Thumbnail photo by Romain MayambiPlease give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps2:17 Harvey Lewis' Origins6:33 Harvey Lewis' Parents: The Dreamer and the Engineer18:39 Running and Teaching30:59 Running as PilgrimageResources / LinksTINAR Race Series | RegisterBorderlands.ccLa French TrailSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack
Franz Perini ha attraversato la Death Valley correndo 217 chilometri alla Badwater 135. Ha chiuso in 23 ore, 14 minuti e 47 secondi, conquistando il 5º posto assoluto, il primo posto tra gli italiani e il miglior tempo italiano di sempre sul percorso.Un anno fa, proprio ad Anime di Corsa, Franz raccontava che Badwater era uno dei suoi grandi sogni. Diceva anche di odiare il caldo e che «essere ossessionati non è per forza una cosa negativa».Oggi torna per portarci dentro quelle ventitré ore: la preparazione per correre con temperature vicine ai 48 °C, il corpo dopo oltre venti ore di fatica, la gestione del ghiaccio e dell'alimentazione, la crisi più dura, il rapporto con la crew e gli ultimi chilometri verso Whitney Portal.Parliamo anche del prezzo di un sogno inseguito per anni. Cosa rimane dopo averlo realizzato? E dove passa il confine tra una passione che ti rende più vivo e un'ossessione che comincia a toglierti qualcosa?Anime di Corsa è il podcast di Esco a Correre, condotto da Simone Luciani.Vuoi preparare il tuo prossimo obiettivo con un percorso costruito intorno a te?https://escoacorrere.academy/collections/running-coachingIscriviti alla newsletter di Esco a Correre:https://escoacorrere.com/iscriviti-alla-newsletter/Correte e fate l'amore.

Send us Fan MailI met Anastasia Rolek years ago in the most random way and we somehow discovered that we are each ultrarunners, although in Anastasia's case, she is way more successful than I am. In addition, she is a lot more colorful, being well-known for running races dressed as Supergirl, Beast Mode Barbie, and as a unicorn. You might say that Anastasia is a flat land ultramarathon specialist, having placed second in the Prairie Spirit 100 in Kansas five times. But this year she got into Western States, the grandaddy of 100 mile races, which she finished in 28:32:06, although not without some anxious moments leading up to the run. Like many in the ultra world, Anastasia found a new community after battling addiction to alcohol, and she describes the setbacks she encountered during those turbulent times. Through the uplifting ultra community, she found her now-new husband, Aaron Lozier, who has supported this journey as well as crewed her, and he joins us on this episode to make it even more fun. Anastasia is following in Aaron's steps into the rock climbing world, and has her sights set on taking on the Badwater 135, having crewed for another runner there last year. And you'll learn how petrified Anastasia is of cockroaches!My Running With Problems podcast episode with Miranda Williamson and Jon Eisen:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/running-with-problems/id1684062687?i=1000778933670Anastasia RolekInstagram @anastasiasupergyrlFacebook Anastasia RolekAaron LozierInstagram @ajlozierBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138
He built 13 video rental stores, brushed up against pop culture history, then watched streaming wipe out an entire era. Instead of letting that loss define him, Bill “Epic Bill” Bradley turns reinvention into a sport and then chooses the most unforgiving arenas he can find to prove one point: you can keep going even when the odds say you shouldn't.We talk through the entrepreneurial origin story, including the rejection from banks and the scrappy credit-card strategy that got his first store open. Then we follow the pivot into sobriety, running, and extreme endurance, from Badwater 135 to the escalation of double Badwater and a jaw-dropping quadruple crossing of Death Valley. Along the way, Bill shares what failure actually feels like up close: underestimating the Grand Canyon, getting pushed off course in the English Channel, and coming within 600 feet of Aconcagua's summit before his body shuts down in the thin air.The heart of the conversation is mindset. Bill explains why he chases what scares him, how he uses mantras like “I'm doing the best I can do, and the best I can do is good enough,” and why “chunking” a giant goal into small milestones keeps him moving. If you're searching for resilience, mental toughness, ultrarunning motivation, or a real-world blueprint for not quitting, this one delivers.

Daily Boost Podcast Distraction Can Be Good July 31, 2026 | Episode 5510 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I've been massively distracted for two weeks — and I saw it coming. I'm heading to Death Valley to help my buddy Croix cross Badwater, and the prep has swallowed everything. My book, my routine, my focus. All of it. But distraction isn't always the enemy. Sometimes it hands you better ideas, gives your brain room to work, and shows you what actually matters. The trick is knowing when distraction is working for you — and when it's stealing the one thing you're supposed to do first. Press play and I'll show you the difference. Featured Story For two weeks, my book sat untouched. My wife reminded me — teasing, but fair. I'd been buried in prepping Croy's Badwater crossing through Death Valley: hours a day, seven days a week, handling logistics and rigging cameras. Then my camera died right on my desk after five years. An hour later, I walked out of Best Buy with a mortgage payment's worth of replacement. What I didn't expect: while I wasn't writing, the book got better. I tested its ideas on coaching calls and watched people respond. Whole sections got demoted or cut. New ones showed up. All because I stepped away and let my brain keep working in the background. Important Points Somebody somewhere is working around the clock to take what you're building, so keep growing or watch it slip away. Doing nothing is still an action with real consequences, so make your choices carefully and stay in positive control. Marketing isn't the piece you plug in at the end. In business and in your career, it's where you're supposed to start. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full. All that matters is you are the one pouring the water. When you do nothing, you're actually taking action. There are ramifications for what you do when you do nothing. Every no gets me closer to yes. No's are part of your story, and if you keep working hard, they lead to many yeses. Scott's Three-Step Approach Name the one thing you're supposed to do first — the marketing, the lead flow, the work everything else depends on. Then protect it before the distraction arrives, because the distraction is coming whether you plan for it or not. Now use the break on purpose, letting your brain work in the background and capturing the better ideas it brings back.

Every weekend it feels like another record falls.This week we're diving into one of the biggest stretches of performances trail running has seen in years. We break down Max Jolliffe and Carmen Pérez's record-setting runs at Badwater 135, Aurélien Sanchez's Pacific Crest Trail FKT, Josh Kerr's incredible mile world record, and what all of it says about where endurance sports are heading.We also talk about London's move to a two-day marathon, why FKTs continue to grow around the world, the culture surrounding iconic routes like the Bob Graham Round and GR20, and whether supported FKTs are becoming an entirely different discipline.Finally, we tackle the biggest topic in trail running right now: doping. Recent controversies have raised difficult questions about education, race organizers, governing bodies, and what clean competition should look like as the sport continues to grow.A fun conversation that starts with record-breaking performances... and somehow ends with bobbleheads.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure
Send us Fan MailWith the Badwater 135 having just started on Monday evening, I thought it would be great to bring Bob Becker onto the WASP. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Badwater 135 is nicknamed the World's Toughest Footrace. It is, yes, 135 miles. In Death Valley. In the middle of the summer. All on roads. The temperature typically is in the 120s or more, and the pavement can get much, much hotter than that. It's not flat by any means, either. Badwater begins at the lowest point in the U.S. - 282 feet below sea level – crosses three mountain ranges, and finishes at more than 9000 feet on the slopes of Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the continental U.S. You can see why it's earned its moniker and legendary place in ultrarunning. In 2022, Bob attempted to become the oldest finisher in Badwater history at age 77. Videos of his finish went viral when he literally bear crawled to the line – but it was 17 minutes after the 48-hour cutoff, so it wasn't an official finish. That would have been it for many, but not Bob. He returned to the starting line at Badwater Basin three years later at age 80 and with crew that included ultrarunning and Badwater legend Marshall Ulrich and wife Heather, Bob nabbed that oldest finisher record in the astounding time of 45:00:06 – three hours faster than when he was 77! That was one of Bob's four Badwater finishes. He has also completed a Badwater double, which entails running from Badwater Basin to the top of 14,505-foot Mt. Whitney and returning to the start, a total of 292 oven-like miles. In this very entertaining chat, Bob explains the lure of running in Death Valley, and describes in detail what it is like to train for and to experience almost two days of running through that inferno. This is from someone who didn't even begin running until a bit over 20 years ago and ran his first ultramarathon to celebrate his 60th birthday, and it was the Marathon des Sables, which entails 150 miles in the Sahara Desert. Bob is also one of the great evangelists for the sport. He founded and still directs the Keys 100, Florida's first ultramarathon, which now includes more than 1000 runners, and has amazing logistical challenges that Bob describes here. His company Ultra Sports LLC also hosts the Daytona 100 and he consults to the Everglades Ultras. You'll be amazed at the energy this 80-year-old has, which is part of why he is in demand as a public speaker. This episode was recorded not long after he ran the Denali 135 in Alaska. He shares how he keeps ultraracing, became a vegan, how he trains for hills in pancake-flat Florida, and inspiring others to do their own movement so they can live fuller, healthier lives.Bob Beckerbob-becker.combob@ultrasportsllc.comInstagram @bobruns150Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"Let's just state the obvious. Runners are weird people. We know it and we embrace it. But if running is not your thing, please don't skip this conversation. There's something here for you.Cary and Micah Morgan are pillars of the Birmingham AL running community. More than that, they're wonderful people who genuinely care about others and love well. Cary is a physical therapist and owner/lead coach of Cadence Run Coaching, a business that helps runners achieve their goals. Micah is a nurse practitioner who also happens to be one of the world's most elite ultra-runners. For about the last ten years, Micah has been crossing one challenge after another off her list, including the Badwater 135 ultramarathon, which is considered the toughest road race in the world. In fact, on July 27, 2026 Micah will compete in her third Badwater 135. You can track her progress using the link below.In our conversation, we definitely talked about running. But more than that, we talked about the community and connection that comes from a shared passion. No matter what you love to do, when you find others who love it like you do, there's a special connection available. Cary and Micah are faithful friends and companions to so many, and more recently have walked through shared grief as well. In December 2025, the Birmingham running community lost a good friend when Christina Chambers' life was suddenly cut short.

The camera doesn't care if you're exhausted, sunbaked, or doubting yourself, it still asks for the truth. We sit down with Amber Myers, a photographer whose work threads through trail running, family life, and the intense world of ultra marathon racing. Her story starts with a borrowed beginner camera and a single fall photo that proved she could capture mood without forcing it. It eventually pulls her into endurance sports photography, where the stakes are higher and the moments are far more fragile. We talk about what it's really like to document races such as Badwater 135 and Cocodona 250 from the crew side: file dumps at checkpoints, hiking out for more honest angles, and learning how to stay invisible while still getting the shot. Amber shares the surreal reality of extreme heat, how crews keep runners safe, and why the ultra community often wants the gritty frames the ones that show the hard minutes, not the highlight reel. Along the way, she opens up about imposter syndrome, earning trust around big names, and how supportive photographers helped her level up fast. Health is the turning point. Autoimmune issues and adrenal stress force her to let go of personal racing goals, including a 100-miler dream, but not her place in the sport. We also dig into why jiu jitsu became a better fit for her body, how training teaches calm “one inch at a time,” and why constant wearable metrics can create more stress than clarity. If you're into ultra running, trail culture, endurance mindset, or sports storytelling, this conversation offers a grounded way to keep moving forward when your plans change.

Daily Boost Podcast Money and Muscles July 14, 2026 | Episode 5497 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description I stayed home over the holiday, skipped Virginia, and wrote 25,000 words in seven days. That's what motivation does. Today I'm talking about my friend Croy, who's about to run 110 miles across Death Valley and climb Mount Whitney — solo, unassisted, at 55. He's scared, and that's the point. I'm digging into why setting a goal with a wall at the end changes you from the inside out, whether you reach it or not. Plus money, muscles, and the strange currencies that keep us moving. Featured Story My friend Croix is getting ready to run across Death Valley. On August 5th, he starts at Badwater, 250 feet below sea level, and runs 110 miles across the desert toward Lone Pine. Then he climbs Mount Whitney, peaking near 15,000 feet. Solo. Unassisted. Towing a wagon. Trying to break a 48-hour record at 55 years old. We worked together to get him a sponsor, and he told me last night he's scared. His body is acting up. He's pulling 75-mile training days and second-guessing everything. I asked him why he's doing it. He said he'll have to die on the course to finish. That's a man who found his motivation. Important Points One of the greatest ways to get motivated is to set a goal with a wall at the end. The payoff is who you become, not just reaching it. The minute you set a nearly impossible goal and step into it, it changes you from the inside out — win or lose. That's the payoff. Motivation is multifold. Find the benefit that keeps you showing up, even if it's not the one you put on the poster. That's the payoff. Memorable Quotes It doesn't matter whether you achieve the goal. The minute you set it and step into it, everything starts changing. That's the payoff. I don't like to do impossible things because they're impossible. The only time I do them is when I don't know they are. When you set a goal like running across Death Valley, first you think it's stupid. Then you can't wait to try it. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by setting a goal so big it scares you — something with a wall at the end that you almost think you can't do. The payoff is the change it creates. Then step into it immediately, because the change begins the minute you commit, not the day you finally finish. That's the payoff. Finally, borrow motivation from someone else's climb. Tie your goal to theirs and let their finish line pull you. That's the payoff.

Send us Fan MailWe've featured a lot of people who have taken on epic challenges, but this guest, Ray Zahab of Quebec, Canada, has done dozens and dozens of them. When we recorded this two years ago, Ray had just completed a couple of weeks before a crossing of Death Valley from north to south. I'm very familiar with the Badwater 135, which just completed, but that is run on roads. I didn't even know it was a thing there to run the shortest route between two points, completely off-road. The terrain is seriously rugged, and it's pretty hot, and Ray ran it with limited re-supplies in 53:35:21. In case you're wondering, he drank 75 liters of water. He's also run across the widest park of Death Valley west to east, crossing two mountain ranges, in 35 hours. He's run 7500 km across the Sahara Desert in 111 days, 1850 km across the Namib Desert in Africa, 1200 km across the Atacama Desert in Chile, and 2000 km across the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. That's the hot, dry stuff. He's crossed Baffin Island in northern Canada nine times in winter and trekked from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole on snowshoes pulling his supply sled. And I'm just scratching the surface. Here's the WASP comeback story angle: Ray did this last Death Valley project a little more than a year after completing six months of debilitating chemotherapy for a rare form of lymphoma. What's very cool about Ray is how he shares his projects with schoolchildren with live links, and he has been running his foundation, impossible2Possible, to introduce kids to the kind of adventuring he does and reach beyond their perceived limits. The foundation takes kids to wild places so they can challenge themselves, and it doesn't even charge them to be there! Yes, they're free! Ray and his wife have been raising two daughters who get to experience the outdoors unlike the way Ray was when he was younger and was an out-of-shape, pack-a-day smoker. So there's another comeback. His brother inspired him to get outdoors and Ray now encourages everyone to also do so, including with his expedition company, KapiK1, which leads trips to remote and beautiful places like Baffin Island, the Atacama Desert, and the Gobi Desert. Even though we had a fairly short conversation, you might still find yourself listening in amazement to all that Ray does and get pumped up by his incredible level of energy and excitement.Ray Zahabrayzahab.comimpossible2possible.comkapik1.comrzahab@impossible2possible.comFacebook and LinkedIn Ray ZahabInstagram and X @rayzahabYouTube @rayzahab1944Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease consider donating to support Team Leadville and Boulder Crest to help end veteran suicide!

This episode is supported by Kava Haven, Goodr, and Batch. Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Megan Eckert. Meg recently finished third overall among women at the 2025 Cocodona 250, running one of the fastest times in race history. She's an ultrarunner, coach, teacher, and one of the most accomplished endurance athletes in the sport. In 2025, she ran 603 miles, surpassing 600 miles in six days and setting a world record pending ratification. She also finished second at Badwater 135 and continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in ultrarunning. One of the most fascinating parts of Meg's story is that she didn't discover running until she was 29 years old. What started with a goal of breaking two hours in her first half marathon quickly grew into a passion for ultras, trail running, and eventually some of the longest races in the world. In this conversation, Meg shares how she approaches races as long as Cocodona, why she focuses on competing against herself rather than other runners, how she balances teaching sixth-grade math with elite ultrarunning, and what she's learned from spending days at a time moving through mountains, deserts, and remote wilderness. We also talk about sleep strategy, hallucinations, training for six-day races, the value of recovery, and why she continues to pursue goals that have a real chance of failure.

Most of us never stop to ask who we really are. We just keep wearing whatever mask the day hands us — the work one, the friend one, the parent one. Do that long enough, and the mask becomes the face. You wake up living a borrowed identity and wonder why nothing lights you up anymore. Today I want to help you find the real one underneath. Once you know who you are, your vision stops being a slogan and starts pulling you out of bed. Press play and let's dig in. Featured Story My friend Croy ran across America — a hundred marathons in just over a hundred days, coast to coast. There was a TED Talk, a book, the whole thing. Then the running stopped, and so did he. For a couple of years, he drifted, trying to figure out who he was without the miles. Then, six months ago, he showed up on a call and surprised all of us. He said, "My identity is that of an adventurer." He's retaking his Badwater record across Death Valley this August. The moment he accepted who he'd always been, the drifting ended. Now he can't wait to get up and run. Important Points Your vision doesn't lead your identity — your identity leads your vision, so get clear on who you really are first. Whatever mask you wear day after day slowly becomes who you actually are, so choose the role you play carefully. Nothing you do is purely for someone else — own that it starts with you, and the old guilt finally loses its grip. Memorable Quotes Your legacy is being built right now — whatever you do today becomes your legacy someday, so go build it on purpose. Wear a surface-level role day after day, and you begin to believe it, until eventually it quietly becomes who you are. There is nothing you do exclusively for somebody else — own that it's for you, and you stop burning out and quitting. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by naming your true identity — the who-you-are that lives in your heart, not the mask you put on for the office. Then let that identity cast your vision, asking who you help, how, and why, until the vague slogan turns specific. Finally, act on that vision every day, so the doing reinforces who you are and fires up your engine to get out of bed. Chapters 0:02 - Today is all about your identity and vision 1:27 - Firing up the anticipation engine that pulls you up 2:58 - Why "I just want to help a million people" falls short 5:26 - The mask you wear long enough becomes who you are 8:14 - Your legacy is ego-driven, and that's okay 9:33 - The man who knew his identity in a heartbeat 11:54 - Croy trades drifting for an adventurer's life Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify If you enjoy the Daily Boost, you might like Notes From Scott.

A documentary called "Spin Wars" is heading to the Tribeca Film Festival, and Crystal and Tom dig into what it means to have Peloton's story told on that kind of stage. The "Let Yourself Go" campaign keeps growing — this time with Peloton instructors joining Hudson Williams — and Peloton's VP of Global Creative penned a piece for Muse about the thinking behind it. On the instructor front, Selena Samuela is back on the schedule, Olivia Amato opens up about why she's been away, Christine D'Ercole is out in July, Susie Chan just set a record at Badwater, and Matt Wilpers is heading to the London Marathon.
