Simone is a badass ultra runner from Florida by way of Brazil.  She popped onto my radar last year at Cocodona as one of the amazing Floridians that finished, but just a few weeks ago, she finished the 6633 Arctic Ultra.  380 miles around the Arctic circle in sub-zero temps.  No crew, no pacers.  Just Simone and her sled full of supplies.  Hear her stories of adventure and be inspired to do hard, cold things.  @simonevalentin_ultrarunnerhttps://mounttocoast.com?sca_ref=8429498.i3SphjUOzNhttps://mounttocoast.com/discount/MartySquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring SalvesPlayOn Pain Relief l Nature's Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Reliefdiscount code = MartyG20@pacertravel  -  727-433-2385  -  pathcrx@aol.com@ultraspireCarolina Thread 8hr/12hr - May 3, 2025https://www.warriortrail.org/

This one's a little different—no guests, no live race calls—just me sharing the full story of how I went from a bullied high school runner to a thru-hiker to an ultra runner trying to get comfortable being uncomfortable.I talk about quitting school to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, building a monster endurance base through FKTs and 8,000-mile slogs, and how I've had to completely rewire my brain and body to embrace faster, higher-effort racing. We hit on pacing, fueling, treadmill hiking, crew control issues (yes, I admit it), and why I “Jeff” everything in life.Plus, I talk about my weird obsession with making my own drink mix, being risk-averse in ultras, and how training for Cocodona (year 5!) is going.

I just ran in circles for 12 hours—and somehow, I had a blast. In this episode, I break down my experience at a fixed-time ultra, a 12-hour race on a looped course in Boise. Why did I do it? To test my fueling, sodium, and hydration strategies ahead of Cocodona 250. I dive into the numbers, what worked, what didn't, and the mental lessons I took away—including how I let the course record change my race plan (oops). I also talk about my pre-race anxiety, dealing with mid-race curveballs, and how a simple gear change solved an unexpected issue. Plus, a ridiculous drive home involving a blizzard and a detour. If you're into race strategy, mindset, or just love hearing about long, grueling efforts, this one's for you. Stay elite, my friends.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Journey02:52 Building Confidence Through Racing05:48 Nutrition Strategy and Preparation09:12 Race Day Experience and Challenges11:59 Mental Resilience and Goal Setting14:50 Lessons Learned and Future PlansSupport the show by supporting our sponsors:Garagegrowngear.comjanji.comTakeawaysI needed a confidence builder this year.Nutrition strategy is crucial for long races.Gut training is essential for endurance events.Mental resilience plays a key role in racing.Always have a plan and stick to it.Adjusting to race day conditions is important.Communication with race officials can be challenging.Learning from each race helps improve future performance.Support from friends and family is invaluable.Setting clear goals can enhance performance.Subscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideKeywordsultramarathon, nutrition, race strategy, mental resilience, goal setting, endurance running, Cocodona, Jeff Garmire, running tips, training

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!In this episode, I'm joined by ultrarunning filmmaker Dylan Harris for a special conversation.Dylan is the director of an upcoming film called "The Chase", which tells the story of the epic six-way battle for victory at the 2024 Cocodona 250, featuring Jeff Browning, Harry Subertas, Michael Versteeg, Joe McConaughy, Arlen Glick, and Michael McKnight. We've had almost all of these guys on the pod before — some of my favorite characters in the sport — and it was incredible to see how this film captured the unique blend of their personalities and racing styles at a premier multi-day event like Cocodona.In this conversation, Dylan and I start and finish by discussing the potential for more content like this in the ultrarunning space, which was awesome. But even more so, we spend the bulk of our time diving deep into each of the featured athletes, adding another compelling layer of insight to the film's storytelling.Timestamps:(2:05) - Unbreakable inspirations, making more films with good storytelling prioritized(19:26) - Arlen Glick, Michael Versteeg, Joe McConaughy, Michael McKnight, Jeff Browning reflections(85:17) - final thoughtsPartners:Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Gorewear - use code SINGLETRACK30 at checkout on their website (https://www.gorewear.com) to get 30% off your purchase.Naak - use code SINGLETRACK20 at checkout on their website (https://www.naak.com/) to get 20% off your purchase.Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/)Additional Links:"The Chase" Film TourDylan HarrisInaugural Year, The Long Way HomeFollow Finn on Instagram, Strava, Youtube, and PatreonSupport the show
