With World's Toughest Mudder coming up soon and it being both the first time the event is taking place in Europe as well as Katelyn's first time tackling the event herself, we figured it would be a good time to both selflessly and selfishly have an episode focused on first timer questions! Josh Fiore had been answering first timer questions on the WTM First Timer facebook group so we figured that he would be a great guest due to him being knowledgeable and has shown to take time out of his day to try to help those who are preparing to take on this ultra OCR! Josh shares his experinces and insights about training, race preparation, and how to stay positive during all 25.5 hours of World's Toughest Mudder!  Start – 4:02 – Intro 4:02 – 17:06 – Quick News 17:06 – 18:11 – Content Preface 18:11 – 1:20:15 - Josh Fiore Interview 1:20:15 – End – Outro Next weekend we aren't sure who we will have on the show yet but Mike has an idea that is proving to be pretty timely!  ____ News Stories: Jaleesa Himka Graduated Sara Korba Eye Surgery Jessika Poppe Engaged Jess O'Connell Had Baby Chainsaw Rick Has Cancer Ulrikke Evensen Injured Again World's Oldest Bodybuilder One World Canine OCR Clothing Optional 5K DEKA World Championship Location Spartan Ohio Ultra, Beast, and Super Podiums Tug Mud Dare Podiums Spartan Kyiv Sprint and Super Podiums Spartan Big Bear and Austin Trail Podiums Spartan Toronto Sprint and Super Podiums Tough Mudder Infinity Philadelphia Podiums Bear Crawl OCR Podiums Spartan UK National Series London West Super and Beast Podiums Spartan Chiba Super Podiums Spartan Ivory's Rock Ultra and Beast Podiums Spartan Zandvoort Beast Podiums ASCO Spartacus Dash Podiums Spartan Ivory Rock Sprint and Super Podiums Toughest Malmo Podiums Spartan Italy National Series Cesenatico Sprint and Super Podiums Rumble Fitness 3K Podiums Dog Poker Secret Link Dubstep Karaoke Secret Link Beer Solo Secret Link Money Lesson Secret Link Jeppson's Malort Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 114.

I sit down with Coree Woltering—pro athlete for Merrell, Janji, and Smartwool—for a raw and hilarious conversation about his redemption at the Cocodona 250. From being the very first person to drop out of the inaugural race to finishing it five years later, Coree shares the highs, lows, and muddy middle miles of his journey.We talk about impromptu race entries (Venmoed Southern States 200), wild hallucinations, ankle weirdness, and what happens when your crew gets stranded with a flat tire halfway through a 250-mile race. Coree also opens up about finding joy in ultra-distance running, managing a team for Merrell, and his ambitious upcoming plans—including an Appalachian Trail FKT attempt and maybe even Moab 240.Follow Coree online: https://www.instagram.com/coreewolteringChapters00:00 Corey Woltering's Journey Begins02:45 Redemption at Cocodona06:01 Lessons from Southern States08:52 The Start of Cocodona 202312:07 Navigating Challenges and Embracing Adventure15:05 The Pacer Experience18:01 Unexpected Setbacks21:08 The Descent into Jerome24:09 The Hangover Trail Experience34:40 The Journey of Social Media in Ultra Running37:37 Experiencing the Highs and Lows of Endurance Racing39:29 The Breakdown: Mental and Physical Challenges42:44 Crew Dynamics and Support in Ultra Events45:37 Navigating the Final Stretch: The Last Marathon49:41 The Finish Line Experience: Quiet Triumphs53:47 Reflections on Future Races and Goals56:38 The Evolution of an Ultra Runner: From Triathlons to Ultra Events01:00:36 Athlete Management: Bridging Experience and Brand NeedsShop at our sponsors: Janji.com, garagegrowngear.com, and csinstant.coffeeSubscribe 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

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we're joined by ultra runner Coree Woltering, a guy who's not afraid to chase those wild ultra dreams. Coree takes us on his journey from multi-sport athlete to dedicated ultra runner, sharing those early experiences and the lessons learned along the way. We talk about his first ultra, the challenges he faced, and how he discovered the importance of fueling his body for those long hauls. But it's not just about the miles. Coree opens up about some of his most memorable races, including the Dunes 100 and Western States, and how he's learned to embrace the experience, not just the competition. We also dive into the unique challenges of running in different countries, the importance of consistency in training, and how Coree's passion for the sport has taken him on incredible adventures around the world. Whether you're a seasoned ultra runner or just starting out, Coree's story is packed with inspiration, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart.

Coree Woltering is a professional trail runner, known for his ultra running Speedo, his Eco Challenge effort and many other things related to running including putting up the supported fastest known time (FKT) of 21 days, 13 hours, and 35 minutes on Wisconsin's 1,147-mile Ice Age Trail in 2020. We talk about the expectations that others have occasionally put on Coree as an openly gay African American male. On his way to Maine (watch them gators), Coree met up with his friend Bessic (from the podcast) and they went for a run on Sleeping Giant. We also get a vivid insider's view of what it's like to race 800 meters on the track. Then we talk about everything else including the pressure of sponsorship, Western States WSER and the joy of sobriety. We also get a commitment for a revisit after he runs Cruel Jewel with Bessic.

“There are options, there are different programs, there are all these things that, I feel like they should be talked about, because I probably would have reached out or tried to find a way to figure out why I was drinking so much or how to stop drinking so much earlier if I would have actually known that there were options out there.”Coree Woltering has done incredible things on the trails. He's won races and set FKT's. He also celebrated 2 years of sobriety on Oct 31, 2023 and that's what our chat centred around. It was awesome to have Coree be so open about his journey and I appreciated him giving us so much insight. Everybody has a different relationship with alcohol, and Coree just wanted people to know there are resources available to help. He talked about how the programs available helped him and how they can help others.“Not everybody needs to be sober. And, that's totally fine. I don't care if people are sober or not, to be completely honest. But, if you're someone that's struggling with it, then absolutely reach out. Don't be afraid to get help for it.”It's a great accomplishment for Coree and I'm thrilled we got to chat about it. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

#240 - It's been a busy year for Coree Woltering. Every time I read a new Facebook post from him, he seems to have finished another tough race. His love and passion for ultraraces is contagious and makes me want to get out there. I'm sure he will drive you to sign up for a race too once you hear this week's episode. I'm so happy to welcome him back as he shares what's been going on with him, including this year's Western States race and Hawaii's HURT 100, both very difficult races, and he's done a few more besides those two! All Coree's information is on the show website! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

This week Clint and Dawson sit down with Coree Woltering who is a Rock/Creek Outfitters staff and Northface runner. Coree, who's known by some as one of the #cornfieldcowboys, was born and raised in Ottawa, Illinois. He began his running career in the 400m and 800m distances and had his sights on becoming a professional triathlete, qualifying for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships twice. But before long, he discovered ultrarunning and became mesmerized by the idea of running 100 miles in the mountains. Coree took his frontier to the next level in 2015, where he won every trail 50k he signed up for that year. In 2016, he averaged a 6:36 per mile to win the Tunnel Hill 50. At 30 years old, he set the fastest known time (FKT) in 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. And then followed that up with that Pinhoti Trail FKT in 2021. He ended up loving the trail so much that he moved to the south! Most recently, Coree finished Western States 100.

Coree Woltering is a professional runner of all distances on all surfaces. We had the opportunity to sit down with Coree to discuss his career progression, growing up in the industry, creating space for the next generation, and how getting out into the real world can restore your faith in humanity. 

Tracy Brower reached out to us asking if we would be interested in having a talk about Adventure Racing.  I immediately remembered the excitement that surrounded Ryan Atkins and Rea Kolbl competing in Eco Challenge a few years ago and how humble Coree Woltering was when we met him shortly after the show was released! I was more than happy to give her a spot on the show to talk about the sport of Adventure Racing, the similarities with OCR, and of course the events that she puts on as well!

We have been planning to check out The Run Show in Boston since 2020 when it was first announced!  COVID pushed back the actual event for a few years but this time it actually happened! The coldest temperature of the year couldn't even stop us from going and covering this long awaited event and boy ... cover it we did! We were able to get over 50 interviews with vendors, guest speakers, and the event director from Raccoon Events himself!  We got so much content that it didn't make sense to cram it all in one episode so this is part one of two.

First of a 2-part series recapping the Blue Ridge Ultra, put on by ARGeorgia.  Blue Ridge Ultra offers a 50k, 30k, and a 15k in the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest in North Georgia.  It is scenic, challenging, and well organized.  This was the site of my first ultra-just 2 years ago and you can tell by this podcast it has impacted my life greatly.  In this episode, I speak to Kelli Littleton, 2nd place female, and Coree Woltering, 1st place male and overall champ.  They both are incredible athletes, great interviews and amazing humans.  I think you will enjoy.  @argeorgia@kellibrae@coreewoltering   -  Taking on clients for coaching services

In this episode we quite literally cover the front of the pack to the back of the pack! Coree Woltering joins the chat, and he was the first-place overall champion at this year's Blue Ridge Ultra! He's joined by Florida's Amanada Dean, she was the official DFL for this year's race and as we learn... she is super proud of it! Jeff Leininger also joins the chat with the perspective of the Race Director! Coree has run all over the world from his first 100 miler at the Dunes 100 here in Florida to Tunnel Hill, the Western States 100, the Black Canyon 100k, Mountain Mist, Cruel Jewel 100, to most recently also placing 6th place at the Clawhammer 50k (one week after winning the Blue Ridge Ultra)! Amanda Dean has done races like 12k out at Jack's and she also coaches Cross Country and Track! She's been a lifelong athlete across numerous sports and now she's kicking up into the dark side of Trail and Ultra! Jeff is the Race Director and founder of ARGEORGIA! Jeff started an adventure racing club in Florida called Florida Extreme in which he found others to learn from and better his game. Now with ARGEORGIA, he not only still competing, but also putting on events in Adventure Racing and Ultra Marathons! Jeff has completed over 100 expedition and adventure races alongside his son Hunter and close friends. The Blue Ridge Ultra 50k consists of 16 miles of the Benton MacKaye trail, 6 miles of hidden trails, and 9 miles of Forest Service roads with over 6,000 feet of elevation change deep within the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest of the North Georgia Mountains.

Coree and I chat about his ultra running journey and what supporting diversity & inclusion in the sport really means.

It was a pleasure to be joined by Coree Woltering on today's episode. Coree has achieved some phenomenal things in the Ultra Endurance world and continues to keep seeking out new challenges and adventures. He represents for his mid-west running community and is proud to show runners are made from all over the US and getting after it. He is sponsored by CorosGlobal, Smartwool, Kodiakcakes, Gnarlynutrtion and The North Face just to name a few. He owns a few FKT's on some major trails like the Pinotti Trail, Ice Age Trail and Frenchman Mtn out her in Las Vegas which is how I got connected with Coree. We talk about a few highs and lows in his ultra-career so far and touch on a few tips regarding equipment and nutrition. To stay up to date with Coree and his training and adventures give him a follow on IG @coreewoltering Keep crushing it out there buddy.

Over our last two podcasts, we interviewed two really different runners: ultrarunner Coree Woltering and 800m runner Sadi Henderson. This week, we reflected on our big takeaways from our time with each of them. We also caught up on a lot of missed news, like the performances at USA Indoor Nationals, the Tokyo Marathon, Grant Fisher's new American records, the new 50K world record, and the death of John Landy.

This week, we had a super-fun discussion with professional ultrarunner Coree Woltering. We discussed his going from a middle-distance runner to an ultrarunner, his experience on Eco-Challenge Fiji, his FKT on the Ice Age Trail, his breaking the ultrarunner mold, and of course, his affinity for red velvet cupcakes.

Welcome to Episode 46 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast! It has taken me WAY longer than planned to get this show back into action, so thank you for your patience. I'm very pleased to finally be recording again and to bring you today's Athlete Nutrition Profile, featuring elite ultrarunner Coree Woltering. You may be familiar with Coree from World's Toughest Race - Eco Challenge Fiji  (streamed on Amazon) - he was one of the athletes on Team Onyx, the first all-black team to compete in expedition racing. Or you may have read one of the many features on him as a black and openly gay ultrarunner living in the Midwest (not a typical home base for a trail runner), and how he is promoting racial and geographical diversity in the sport. Or perhaps you've seen the viral pictures of him racing in his signature Noodle Bagz bathing suit. If you're not at all familiar with Coree, then you're in for a treat. He's a formidable athlete, but he's also a fun, down to earth guy, with SO many amazing stories to share. Here are a few of the things we cover in today's show:Growing up in Ottawa, Illinois from a nutrition perspective Juggling a variety of sports (track, XC, swimming, and eventually triathlon) from middle school through college, and his struggles with and recovery from disordered eating Discovering and falling in love with ultra running - early nutrition mishaps and later success once he got his nutrition dialed in Eco Challenge Fiji - a race nutrition story that will make you cringePandemic FKT on the Ice Ace Trail - what does nutrition look like while running 1,147 miles in 21 days when everything is shut down?! Coree's everyday eating routine as well as his favorite sports nutrition productsCake 365 - Coree's 2022 resolution to enjoy a baked good every single dayAnd of course, much much more. Thank you so much Coree for your time and the many many laughs we shared. I know you'll enjoy this episode!

Coree rose to prominence after his 21 day FKT on the Ice Age Trail, exactly one year ago. Before that he was seen rockin' a Speedo on the 10-part "World's Toughest Race" show on Amazon Prime (a great series). Coree has fun, and he has style. This is a very fun conversation with an intelligent and unique person - don't miss his captivating thoughts! "We intended to start everyday at 5:30am - the first day I woke up and said, 'Screw this; I'm going back to sleep.' Now we've changed the plan for FKTs: Start whenever I wake up - 10am or Noon - I'm totally fine with that. I prefer to run at night." Would it be safe to say you're not a methodical planner? "Absolutely. I don't like the logistics or planning - too much time to think. I want to be in top shape, and then just do it." In April Coree set the FKT on the 335 mile Pinhoti Trail in Alabama and Georgia. In this part of the country, there is no shortage of confederate flags flying. As a black man, out there sometimes alone at night, did he feel safe? "I didn't think about it. At mile 13, there was a giant confederate flag - I mean, giant. If anything, it made me more motivated. We want the outdoors experience to be available to everyone, and this demonstrates that. I never felt unsafe." "It was amazing. The people along that trail were awesome people. Pacers came out of the woodwork - they were working 8-5 jobs, showed up at night and ran with me until past Midnight, then were back at work at 8:00 the next morning." "People were dropping off hand-made food. One night I was freezing - I was so cold, all I wanted was warm soup. So a woman heard that, cooked home-made soup, and ran it out to me in the middle of the night on the trail." "Rural people are the best. So many people invited us into their homes. My crew is 3, 4, sometimes 5 people, and there was always room for us. I wanted everyone to know I felt safe. And: the Midwest is a friendly place!"

How can thinking ten seconds at a time help you achieve greatness? MUT (Mountain Ultra Trail) runner and Amazon's World's Toughest Race competitor Coree Woltering is an incredibly positive person who looks amazing in a speedo. Hear about how Coree competed with Team Onyx, the first ever all-Black team in the Eco Challenge, and why he wants to see more LGBTQ individuals and People Of Color involved in outdoor sports, and how he shaved five hours off of a trail run. Plus find out the origins of the infamous speedo. Call to Action: Exercise for 30 minutes, any way and any levelCharity to Support: Charity: The Trevor Project https://www.thetrevorproject.org.

“I just want to know how it feels. I ran my first 100-mile race because I was coaching some athletes, and one had signed up for a hundred-mile race, but I had never run a hundred-mile race, and I'm like, well, how am I supposed to coach somebody to do this if I don't know what it feels like. So that's why I signed up for my first one and loved it.”We are joined by Coree Woltering, one of the most inspirational and remarkable ultra distance runners in the world today. I have to admit that I'm really impressed with Coree, not only as an athlete but also as a person. He's living his life on his own terms and it's just so darn exciting to meet someone who is adamant on creating a life experience that truly makes him happy. If you've read anything about Coree or listened to interviews with him, it's clear that he has a unique outlook on life and his sport. His natural tendencies to be curious, stubborn and mindful about the world and everything happening in it seem to fuel his passion and ability to excel at ultra distance races. For Coree, running these ultra distances seems to be just as much about finding ways to get the most out of life as it is finding out how fast he can run on some of these trails. If you really want to know how to take on big challenges and conquer them, then this conversation with Coree will shed some light on how this can be done. There's something really special about ultra distance running and what it takes to do it. I truly believe there's a secret to being able to do it, and when that secret is discovered it sets you free to stretch your imagination around what you're really capable of achieving.Timestamped Show Notes(4:04) Training for the next thing…(5:37) Understanding the concept of the Fastest Known Time…(10:18) Being exploratory AND competitive…(12:21) “You can't think of it as the full distance.

Coree Woltering is an ultrarunner from Illinois. In addition to being a solid racer on the circuit over the past few years, Coree has established himself as one of the best athletes at multi-day and multi-week speed records. In 2020, Coree broke the Fastest Known Time for the 1200 mile Ice Age Trail, and in 2021, he set a new standard on the 350 Pinhoti Trail. In this episode, we pick Coree's brain about how to approach such long and logistically complicated undertakings.   Follow Coree on IG   Coree's Strava from Pinhoti   Follow Cocodona 250   _________________________   Pyllars Links: App Download | Instagram | Website | YouTube   Dylan Links: Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn

Each week Canadian Running staff writer Maddy Kelly and Shakeout host Kate Van Buskirk bring you a recap from the exciting world of running. This week on The Rundown we celebrate two world records, including Des Linden's sub three hour 50K. We muse about the challenges of completing a 9 day, 147K joggling challenge. We cover sprint results, including Aaron Brown's 100m season opener. And we throw kudos to ultra runner and reality star Coree Woltering for his new FKT!Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

Episode 207 of Talk Ultra brings you an interview with Corre Woltering who in the last 12-months has set two FKT's, one on the Ice Age Trail and the other on the Pinhoti Trail. Speedgoat co-hosts.

My guest today is David Laney, professional ultra-runner extraordinaire, coach and founder of Trails and Tarmac, and the unequivocal definition of a “good dude”. Growing up in Oregon and getting his start in running at an early age, David has grown up to be one of the best and most recognized long-distance trail runners on the scene today. From some of the common misconceptions about trail running to how he got his first taste of the sport on an epic Rim-To-Rim-To-Rim adventure, David covers a broad range of all things running-related. We also get into some of the emotional and mental corners of running that so many people face whether professional or amateur. This isn't an episode about proper nutrition or training blocks before a race and you won't hear us say the word ‘bonk' even one time but instead, you'll get a taste of just how much joy something as simple as running can bring to a person. I can't wait for you to sink into this episode where I don't even try to hide my excitement. And now here's my interview with David Laney.

Joe McConaughy and Coree Woltering independently decided to try for an FKT on the Arizona Trail. Our Social Media Coordinator Allison Mercer heard about this, contacted them, with the result being Joe and Coree decided to start at the same place at the same time ... and see who makes it from the Mexican border to Utah first! "I think we'll have different FKT strategies ... I'm not sure how much he is going to divulge, and not sure how much I'll divulge ..." Coree was Nominated for the Fastest Known Time Of the Year last year for his Ice Age Trail FKT, and Joe was #2 FKTOY for his Long Trail FKT, so both have endurance cred. And both are fast - Coree has a 2:26 Marathon under his belt, and Joe has done a 50 miler in 5:22. "I've always started slow and built up ... and will do that this time especially ... " NOTE: Very unfortunately, Coree experienced technical difficulties for both our two recording attempts and so was unable to be on this podcast. NOTE #2: Even more unfortunately, Coree later became injured, and on 3/15 decided not to attempt the AZT at this time. JOE Update: "I'm still on! The snow is a bit concerning, but I feel good that the majority of it will melt off, assuming no more snow. I'm also guiding with Andrew Skurka Adventures after, so it is either 3/23 or bust!"

From appearing on World's Toughest Race to running Black Canyon 60k & 100k back-to-back, Ultra-runner Coree Woltering shares some amazing recent adventures with us! Plus, what's next for this amazing athlete.

What's it like to run long and hard, as a couple? Is it easier or harder; more fun or a struggle? Host Hillary Allen speaks with Brittany Peterson and Cody Lind, who as a team set a big FKT on the Superior Hiking Trail last year, bettering the previous Male time by 18 hours and the Female by over 2 days. "Western States will be interesting - she'd like me to pace her, and I'd like her to pace me!" - Cody Don't miss what's coming next for this dynamic duo: "There's a route here in Idaho - I don't want to give away Cody's secret - but it's an FKT waiting to happen." - Brittany "FKTs are such a fun process, of being creative, then putting it out there to see who goes after it!" - Brittany Special thanks to Chaski Endurance Collective for sponsoring this episode.

Ever think about running the entire 1,200 miles of the Ice Age Trail? Earlier this summer, North Face-sponsored athlete Coree Woltering did just that while setting the Fastest Known Time on the trail in 21days 13hours and 35minutes. Coree rolled his ankle in the first few days of his run. For most people that would lead to throwing in the towel, but he did not let it stop him from moving forward. As is often the case with successful people, a lot of the failures along the way to glory have been omitted. However, this is not the case with Coree in this interview. We get a chance to hear how a true elite athlete deals with roadblocks, failures, and self-doubt. If this sounds familiar, it's because past guest and friend of the pod, Annie Weiss, had set the previous record. Listen as Coree shares how Annie actually joined alongside him and his crew to help him beat her record! And as always Alex and Apostoli talk about the latest in the running world or running in their world. PLUS they have some great news to share (Hint: Alex has been promising this for a while).

By now we know that the planet needs saving. There are millions of tons of human-made garbage floating in the sea, forests being burned and otherwise destroyed, and gases rising into the atmosphere multiplying the negative natural disaster effects. It’s not exactly a pretty picture. There is a lot of work to do if we want to minimize the damaging effects of climate change. It can seem overwhelming, but the scale of the task doesn’t have to discourage you. The fact is, we need all hands on deck to make a difference. The ship will go where it needs to go if we all do our part. Darin Olien has dedicated most of what he does in life to tackling this problem. He’s a nutritional guru, and an environmental activist, but you probably know him best from co-hosting Down to Earth with Zac Efron. He shared his experiences with us about being a Netflix star, and more importantly, what we can do about climate change.  How to Talk About Climate Change  As we are learning from the current election and shows like The Social Dilemma, we tend to hear from and talk to similarly-minded people a majority of the time. Your social media circles and likely even a lot of the people you see in person, have similar ideas to you. What does this mean? A few things to remember: First, if you speak up often, you are probably mostly speaking to the choir. We know you care about climate change, and so do we. So what? What are we going to do about it? Second, because you are mostly speaking to the choir, you don’t feel the pressure from different opinions and so your voice becomes more aggressive and there is less room for those with different priorities or beliefs to participate. Darin came across these same feelings while filming Down to Earth. He knows that if he were in charge of making the film, it would have been less conservative. Fewer people would have watched, and those that did would have been “in their pod” already. Instead, the people that watched the show didn’t expect to learn about the environment or their health because they weren’t being talked to, they were just listening in on the conversations. Consider these things as you talk more about climate change. First of all, expand your circle. We can’t keep talking to the same group of people if everyone is going to get on board. Be willing to hear different thoughts and understand some people have varying priorities.  Second, be kind and play the long game. Keep friendships and be the person that your friends and family know they can go to if they want to learn more. Our actions don’t change overnight. Sometimes just knowing who they can ask climate change questions about when they start thinking about it more is the best thing you can do. How We Can Make a Change Now Opening the gates of communication is a great way to start, but posting that you care about the planet on Instagram isn’t going to be what saves it. We need big change. Really big. To be perfectly transparent, bigger than what we can do on an individual level. Making small changes in our lives is a good thing! Being aware of our consumption is important, but to make a difference we need the big players to change. Corporations have to fundamentally change. No amount of recycling is going to change the trajectory we are on. In fact, Darin told us that less than 10 percent of what we think is going to be recycled actually does. Most of it goes in the ground or a dump somewhere. Even then, consumer products aren’t the biggest contributors to global warming.  So how can we change the system? There are two ways to get to the corporations. One is from policy. We need to use our vote to get the right people in office and the right policies passed. And two, we need to vote with our feet and wallets. Simply put, companies won’t make things that we don’t buy.  There is hope. More and more countries, companies, and individuals are changing their ways. Many experts estimate that it is too late to avoid damage from climate change, but all that means is that the sooner we work to change, the less damage there will be. It’s important to not give up hope and to act as soon as possible. Keep learning and keep acting on what you learn.

Coree Woltering is an openly gay, black man who is unapologetically real and fights for what matters to him. He wears bright, dazzling speedos to compete in, and is one of the best ultra-endurance runners in the country, yet what he wants to raise awareness for the most is something you might not expect; midwest (American) athletes being overlooked by brands when they are equally capable of representing a brand well. Coree himself has become evidence of this, signing to The North Face earlier this year. In this episode, we talk about Coree's entrance into the running world, beginning early, but not really knowing where his strengths were until he tried his first marathon in his late teens. Coree did not think about the lack of black role models in the running or triathlon world he grew up in, looking up to people like Chrissie Wellington for a source of inspiration. We talk about our society's need to put people into boxes, which encourages marginalized groups to form. Just like we say being a runner is only part of who we are, being black is only part of Coree, as is being gay or being from the midwest. We go on to discuss his experience in the World's Toughest Race: Eco Challenge Fiji, and whether there was added pressure being the first all African American team with Team Oynx, and things beyond their control going wrong, and forcing their race to face a heartbreaking decision. This episode is packed with inspiration, and Coree's perspective in life is one we can learn a lot from.   Resources:  Coree's Instagram Coree's Twitter Coree's Website Thank you to my wonderful sponsor Generation UCAN, Athletic Greens, and Fenn Coffee for sponsoring this episode of the Running for Real Podcast.

Each year, over one million people use Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail to recreate, meditate or take in the unique sights sculpted by a glacier thousands of years ago.Last spring, Coree Woltering, a North Face sponsored ultrarunner, embarked on a challenge that very few have attempted in the IATs 12,000-year history.For over 21 days, Woltering endured an ankle sprain, remnants of a tropical storm and a barrage of mosquitoes and ticks all in route to setting the record for the fastest known time across the trail. Not only did Woltering successfully overcome every obstacle, but in the process, he also helped raise over $28,000 for Feeding America, a national nonprofit that assists food banks across the country.In this episode of Off the Record, we sat down with Woltering to discuss his origins as an ultrarunner, his desire to be a champion for diversity in the world of outdoor sports and how cupcakes and Kwik Trip chicken sandwiches fuel his run. Follow Coree On Social MediaFacebookInstagramTwitterLearn more about the Ice Age Trail at https://www.iceagetrail.org/Listen to episode 47 -- Hitting Wisconsin's Trails With The Thousand Miler--------------------------------------TRANSCRIPTANNOUNCER: [00:00:00] Welcome to Wisconsin DNR's Wild Wisconsin "Off the Record" podcast. Information straight from the source.KATIE: [00:00:10] Welcome back to another episode of Wild Wisconsin Off the Record. I'm your host DNR's Digital Communication Section Chief Katie Grant. The last six months have been full of uncertainty. Although the changes look a bit different for everyone.We've all had to adapt in some way. Early on in the pandemic, Coree Woltering an Ultra Marathon Runner from Ottawa, Illinois realized he was going to have to the shift gears as a sponsored athlete, he saw that races were being canceled for summer and his future was uncertain. He decided to turn lemons into lemonade and attempt to break a fastest known time record for running the Ice Age Trail across Wisconsin.And he decided to take it a step further by raising money for Feeding America, a national nonprofit that helps food banks all over the country. Coree's attempt began on June 1st at the Ice Age Trails, Western Terminus located in Interstate State Park in St. Croix Falls over the next 21 days, 13 hours and 35 minutes.Coree raced against the clock arriving at the Eastern Terminus in Sturgeon Bay on June 22nd. Beating the record by about four and a half hours. We chatted with Coree via zoom to hear what it was like to run 1200 miles and learn a bit more about the eating, training and music that goes into pulling off the success. So sit back and listen. It. COREE: [00:01:38] Hey guys. Yeah. So, um, my name is Coree and I am a professional Trail and Ultra Runner for the North Face. Um, so basically I get to go explore trails and different areas and try to run fast on them. KATIE: [00:01:57] That's a pretty simple way of describing it, but what you do sounds in reality, a lot harder than that. Uh, how did you get into long distance running? COREE: [00:02:08] Um, that is a great question because sometimes I still wonder that. So I grew up, you know, playing multiple sports and was running usually to stay in shape for the sports and then kind of realized I was decent at it. And, um, So I ran in high school, ran in college, um, but it is more sprints and middle distance that I was doing.And then I also ran cross country. So I had to kind of get used to a little bit longer of distances. And then, um, just through a few injuries and stuff, I actually took up triathlon because I was like, you know, I know how to run. I can swim. So may as well buy a bike and start riding and next thing, you know, I find myself racing the middle distance and the sprints on the track, but then I'm racing half Ironman races in the summer to stay in shape for everything. And, um, turned out to be pretty decent at that. And so I raced the world championships twice. And then, um, moved to Boulder, Colorado and thought I wanted to become a professional triathlete and started hanging out with trail runners and found out that trail running was my passion.KATIE: [00:03:20] Very cool. Competing in Ironman triathlons just absolutely blows my mind. I have a couple of friends who do it and it, to me is crazy. Cause I'm not a runner at all, but good for you for doing, is there an official distance where it is no longer? Just long distance running and it is suddenly Ultra Running.COREE: [00:03:41] Um, so Ultra Running would be considered basically anything over the typical marathon of 26.2 miles. Um, but I believe like the first like official ultra distance is 50 kilometers, so about 31 miles. KATIE: [00:03:57] All right. That makes sense. Congratulations. You very recently, uh, set the record for the fastest known time running the Ice Age Trail. Why did you specifically pick the Ice Age Trail and why now? COREE: [00:04:13] Yeah. Um, so I picked the Ice Age Trail because I do a lot of training on the southern Kettle Moraine area um, trails down there, and then I've done quite a bit of stuff in the Devils Lake area. So it just kind of became this thing of like, Okay.I've seen a couple areas of the Ice Age trail, but now I'd like to explore more of them. So in May, uh, I basically decided that I was going to go after the Ice Age Trail FKT in June. Um, so not a lot of time to plan, but I took a couple of trips up to northern Wisconsin and got on some of the more technical areas up there and just kind of learned in the course a little bit.And then, um, And then yeah, just went for it in June. And I guess now was the time to do it because, um, like with COVID like we, we didn't have any races happening and we really don't know when the next race will be happening. So because of that and like, I have time to kind of do this and then recover after and not have to worry about getting ready for another race or something.Um, Yeah. So that was the first part of why. Um, and then the second part of why actually kind of... kind of happened, you know, like, um, you know, three or four days before I started, um, the George Floyd incident, um, I had no idea just like how much of a movement that was going to start. Um, but at the time I felt like this was kind of like my time to do this as, um, just a positive story of people of color in the outdoors, doing awesome things because...Uh, there just weren't a lot of positive stories happening at the moment. KATIE: [00:06:03] Yeah, absolutely. The way that you got started in this particular one, I think is a, such a very cool story, especially with everything going on in the world, not only with, um, you know, like you had mentioned the incident with George Floyd, but also with COVID and kind of the world being completely different right now than it ever has been before. Have you ever done a race that's this long before. Or this many like consecutive days? COREE: [00:06:32] No. So like the longest race that I've ever done was like 106 miles, I think is the longest distance. And then her consecutive days, like maybe a little over a week, but it wasn't all just running. So, um, So, yeah, like this is completely different for me.KATIE: [00:06:50] How many miles per day did you know that you needed to run in order to set the record? And I guess was the record what you were setting out to do, or were you just wanting to complete the trail in general? COREE: [00:07:03] Um, you know, the record was definitely what I wanted. Completing it was also going to be great. Um, I think it's about. 50 miles a day that you have to do to be able to get the record. Um, and so like not all of the days are 50 miles, but some of the days were quite a bit more. KATIE: [00:07:19] Right. What was the longest single day you did on this? COREE: [00:07:22] So in like a 24 hour period, I believe I covered like a hundred and. For 105 miles in one stretch. But like the longest that I believe I was up was almost 40 something hours with only a 20 minute nap in there and just pushing through. So that was like 158 mile push. I think I did at the end. KATIE: [00:07:44] Wow. That's as, as a non runner, I, I just, I have no words for that. That's awesome and crazy at the same time.COREE: [00:07:52] Totally. Absolutely. KATIE: [00:07:53] So what does it, obviously, you got into this kind of at the last minute, but for any of these longer runs, um, what does it look like to train for something like this? COREE: [00:08:03] For me, it was kind of, I was just going about it as if I was training for like a 100-mile race or something. And I'm just kind of doing normal training.Um, I didn't really... up my overall run volume. I didn't necessarily, uh, do any special type workouts or anything. I guess the biggest thing was more, um, I had a couple weeks where we did some back-to-back long run days, or I'd go out for maybe four hours on one day in six hours the next day. Um, but then nothing else that was like, I didn't put in a six-month build of, you know, big back-to-back long run weekends or big midweek workouts. Um, just kind of consistent 80 to maybe a hundred miles a week, uh, for a few weeks. Yeah.KATIE: [00:08:53] And you did it. What is, obviously, we're going to be favorable of Wisconsin here and say that obviously running this through Wisconsin was the coolest place you've ever run, but second coolest place that you have ever done. One of these long runs. Yeah, so I COREE: [00:09:13] was in Japan in 2019 for Ultra Trail, Mount Fuji. And that was pretty cool. So it's 106 mile race that goes in the mountain range around Mount Fugi. So you basically do this giant loop and that's just really awesome, um, from like a trail standpoint, but also, um, the, the trail comes down out of the mountains and goes through some of the small villages in that area. So you really get to actually see some, just like some of the daily life of the people that live in these villages, along with the mountains that surround it. So that's really kind of cool. KATIE: [00:09:51] Wow. I went to Mount Fuji by bus, not by running in 20...it would have been 2013 and that area is just absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine what it would have been like to be able to be running through that. COREE: [00:10:03] Yeah. And like the other really cool thing about it was that it was during a cherry blossom season. So like, it was just like the most amazing time to be there.KATIE: [00:10:14] Absolutely. Yeah. So you mentioned that you do a lot of training in the southern unit of, uh, the Kettle Moraine State Forest. What do you like most about training in this area? COREE: [00:10:25] Um, you know, it's, it's kind of the perfect mix of runnable trail, but still a hilly enough that it has that it's challenging. Um, and I think that's one of the things that's really, um, that people kind of take for granted or kind of don't think about when you think of Midwestern trails.Um, cause you know, like out in California you have the big giant climbs and we have mountains and um, on the East coast you have some really rocky and technical terrain and still some bigger climbs out there. Whereas for this, it's a lot of just short, but kind of steep climbs. Um, and I, I really liked that because I feel like it's a different style of running, but if you can do well on this, you can usually also do well when you go other places. But sometimes, you know, those big climbs that you're training on out west don't necessarily translate well to the style of running that we have here. KATIE: [00:11:19] Was there a segment of the Ice Age Trail trail that was your favorite? COREE: [00:11:24] You know, I really enjoyed Kettlebowl.  Um, which is funny because that is not most people's favorite, but like, for me, that was just like, okay, like I'm feeling semi okay. Like, I. I, I guess that was kind of where you make the turn to finally also head south for a while, and it's like, you finished the hardest sections of this trail. And so now it's kind of like, it was just like that farewell to the north and northeast section, I guess. Um, So I really enjoyed that, but also like northern and southern Blue Hills is awesome. Um, yeah. KATIE: [00:12:05] I love it. Love it. So when you're out there running, um, are you listening to music? Are you just listening to nature? What, what are you what's getting you through there?COREE: [00:12:15] Yeah. Um, sometimes music, sometimes nature. Sometimes I'd have somebody else running with me. Um, which is still like, sometimes you're listening to music, even if you have somebody else with you.Um, sometimes not. I don't know, just being out there is fun though. Yeah. A mix of all of it as out there for anywhere from 12 to 20 hours a day at times. So, and for the last few days, even longer than 20 hours. So, I mean, there's going to be a bunch of stuff. KATIE: [00:12:42] Absolutely. Was there a go-to song or a genre that you turned on? Like when things were getting really stuck, really tough and you had to really keep pushing. COREE: [00:12:51] Um, so I listened to a lot of different stuff, but for the first, probably for the first two weeks, I listened to you mostly like... um, EDM music and like upbeat stuff and whatever. I'm like, there you go. I enjoy listening to it necessarily my favorite, but it's tolerable for hours at a time.Um, and then like, I love heavy metal. So I actually saved like all my favorite heavy metal bands and stuff for the final week, in the final few days, just as like that little extra pick me up.KATIE: [00:13:27] Love it..Love it. Other than actually setting the record. What was your most memorable moment on the trail? COREE: [00:13:35] Well, um, so the funny story, it would be that, uh, the remnants of the tropical storm that were coming across Wisconsin, as I'm just running through Northern Wisconsin. And here's that tropical storm coming through and high wind. And it's like, what else can possibly be happening right now? [Laughs] We have, like, we have  the ticks, we have the mosquitoes, we have the heat and humidity, we have the mud, we have the water and now we have the remnants of a tropical storm coming through. So, um, that was pretty funny.Um, I don't think it was funny at the time, but I think it's funny now. But one of my most memorable moments was, um, a three and a half year old. "Glacier B" is his trail name and he's already done like 150 miles of the Ice Age Trail. Um, and so he just, he loves the trail and, um, his parents were like, "Hey, you know, like there's this tunnel that he loves to go through."Um, and they're like, "would it be okay if he ran it with you?" And I said, absolutely. So, here we are, and I'm running through this tunnel and running with Glacier B and, um, he's like giving me advice on how to run the trail. So that was pretty sweet.KATIE: [00:14:50] So,  for anyone listening. If you go check out Coree's Facebook page, video of that is on his Facebook page and it like truly, even without the sound on, I couldn't hear what he was saying to you, but even without the sound on it was the cutest thing ever to watch.COREE: [00:15:05] Yeah. So like, yeah, like that was just, that was a great moment. And like, I had been struggling a little bit too, but I'm like, all right, like he went straight on through the tunnel. Like, let's run, like, here we go. And it was just a nice distraction. KATIE: [00:15:17] So, obviously you had a time goal in mind as you ran the trail. Uh, were you able to balance taking in the scenery a little bit with competing against the clock? COREE: [00:15:27] So, the good news is... I had been on some of the stuff up north before. So, um, which was like, I was up there in May, I guess. Um, I wasn't necessarily taking in the scenery up north on some of those sections, just because they were a bit overgrown or trees were down or so muddy that I spent a lot of time just to looking down.Um, but it wasn't my first time on it. So, um, I feel like I was able to take in those sites the first time I was there. Um, and then, you know, different sections were definitely easier to take in sights than others. So, um, I got to enjoy most of it. KATIE: [00:16:06] Understandable. You, you certainly had a different goal in mind than just taking everything in. So it's completely understandable. You recently tweeted about the discovery of a burrito pocket in your vest while you're running. Other than burritos, which I just want to add is a great idea for portable food. What snacks or meals do you like to carry with you when you're out running? COREE: [00:16:28] Yes. Uh, the burrito pocket became a many things pocket over the course of this FKT. Um, so we discovered that Kwik Trip has cheeseburgers and chicken sandwiches that, um, are enough calories and like the right size to also fit in that pocket. So, um, my diet on this thing was Kwik Trip cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches. And then, um, I was eating like... Chicken and Stars condensed soup straight out of the can and SpaghettiOs with meatballs, like straight out of the can.So that's what I was eating out on the trail and cupcakes and, and, um, like there's one day that, I mean, I spent $70 on Kwik Trip on just chicken sandwiches and cheeseburgers and like Starbucks coffee drinks. And it was really funny because the cashier was looking at me like, what are you doing with all of this food?Cause I, like I said, all of them that they had in there. Oh. And breakfast, croissants, like I just took all of them. Like, it's fine. I'm running. I need these. And it was just really funny, but yeah, those were, that's what got me through this. And in general, like I would not be eating like that out on the trail.Like if I was just going for a training run or a hike or something, but for something like this, when you're eating 6,000 to 8,000 calories a day, like, that's just, that's what you have to do. KATIE: [00:17:57] I'm fully on board with the Kwik Trip funded, a trail running diet. That sounds fantastic to me. COREE: [00:18:04] Yeah. I mean, I enjoyed it. And so they also have like those rice crispy treats in there that have a little bit of peanut butter in they're chocolate covered on top, like... oh my goodness I love those. And then like one day we were in there and it was like, I think they're doing donuts like $2 for a dozen or something like that. And like, well, you don't have to twist my arm.Like, I guess we'll take a few dozen donuts. Okay. Yeah. KATIE: [00:18:29] Maybe I need to take up trail running just so I can adopt the Kwik Trip diet. Uh, you know, it's not a bad reason to do it. So when you're out on a long-distance run like this, obviously you're out for many days at a time. How do things like sleep work? Are you staying in a tent, in a hotel, in a van? What, how are you sleeping and making that happen? COREE: [00:18:52] So. Sleep was definitely the interesting, uh, thing here because, uh, just like due to COVID, uh, some of the campgrounds are closed or the facilities at the campgrounds are closed. Um, and so that kind of threw a wrench into the plan a little bit. And then also like some of the hotels that we had planned on staying in weren't open.So, um, that did not help either. So there, I mean, there are some nights that we had... that we were able to get a hotel. Um, we didn't camp when we were up north, just because, um, the ticks and the mosquitoes were so bad up north, that I was like, you know what? I don't want to be sleeping in my tent and still hear mosquitoes buzzing outside or have ticks, like getting into the tent.Um, And then I also just wanted to take a shower at the end of the day. So, yeah, there's a lot of hotels. And then a few nights of sleeping in the van. KATIE: [00:19:47] What for you is the perfect weather to be running in? Do you like it when it's hot out cold out, anything in between sunny, snowy, raining? What's your perfect long distance running weather?COREE: [00:20:00] So like perfect for long distance, I would say is probably like 55 degrees and maybe slightly overcast. Um, but I enjoy heat and humidity. So like sunny 85, 90 degrees with decent humidity is what I really enjoy. Um, and so like for me, there are races like Badwater 135, which is, I mean, you know, a race, 135-mile race through Death Valley in July.That, that gets up to like 120 degrees, but it's super low humidity so that's a race that I'm very interested in. Um, but like Kettle Moraine 100 would be one of the perfect races for me, I think because normally that's a decently hot weekend in June and it's in the Southern Kettles and it's going to have the humidity also. So, yeah. Like something like that. KATIE: [00:20:55] So you consider yourself to be a champion of diversity. How do you envision getting more people of color involved in outdoor activities like Ultra Running and beyond? COREE: [00:21:05] And that is a very good question. And, um, so going back to last year, um, I raced Eco Challenge Fiji on a team that was like the first all African American team to do this adventure race.Um, and basically it's a 700 kilometer race across Fiji. That includes multiple disciplines of like, uh, sailing, rock climbing, um, mountain biking, trekking, orienteering. Um, and a lot of these are really fun disciplines that you don't necessarily see a bunch of people of color doing. And for me, it was one of those things where I felt like I wanted to race it because like, I, I knew what Eco Challenge was, but like I never saw anybody that looked like me on TV doing that.And I never really thought I'd be doing it. And then when I was, uh, someone's like, "Hey, you know, it'd be like to be on our team?"  Said, yeah. And then I realized like... oh, like we actually have a great platform to show this off. Um, and so.... like Team Onyx is, was our, is our team name. And this year we had it, I had actually planned on doing like youth camps for like our different sports.Like for me, I'd be leading the trail running camp. Uh, we had a professional mountain biker, so she would be leading the mountain bike camps and we'd also be doing some sailing courses and different things like that. And just due to COVID like, unfortunately we can't really do those this year. Um, but next year we plan on bringing the camps back and doing that.And so, like, I just think that's, you know, one way you can do it, like actually going out and doing it, but then another way is just by like the media attention, this FKT has been getting and, um, And just being very open and just honest and visible with it and just being like, yeah, you know, this is me, this is what I do. And I hope that other people will want to do it as well. KATIE: [00:22:54] So, as you've mentioned, obviously COVID has thrown some wrenches in your plans as far as you can tell, what what's next on the docket? What's your next big thing?COREE: [00:23:05] I'm not super sure at this point. Um, this, it really depends on how long recovery takes from this FKT attempt and it's one of those things where even though I may feel recovered, I know that it's going to take a lot longer than I think it will. Um, so like, I really don't have plans to be racing for probably two to three months. Even if there are races coming up, I just don't think I will be. Um, so I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to race next or if there's a shorter FKT, but I might want to go after or... yeah, I don't know. But right now it's just kind of, um, just relaxing and going through a really short runs and, uh, starting to get on the bike again a little bit. So yeah.KATIE: [00:23:55] For sure. If there were anywhere... you could go run anywhere in the world, where would you want to go run? COREE: [00:24:02] That is a really tough question because, um, because I have been to a lot of the places that I want to go run. Um, but I, I love the country Peru, so probably going back up to like Cusco and then doing some of the trails out there. I think it'd be really fun or, I mean, like the super high altitude places in Peru, I think can be really fun to go to again. KATIE: [00:24:26] Is there anything else you think that listeners should know about trail running in general? Getting started just doing it, anything like that? COREE: [00:24:37] Yeah. You know, when it comes to trail running like, figure out like what your local chapter of the Ice Age Trail would be and reach out to people. Because, uh, they like, people are just super friendly, but I mean, if it's not the Ice Age Trail, then um, just in general, like check for like a Facebook or something and see if there's people that would, I love to go out and like either hike with you or start to run.Um, but the big thing is like, just it get slow, you know?  Like you don't have to go out and run ultra distances to be a trail runner. You also don't have to go out and try to set this FKT to be a trail runner and they're like, you can go out and enjoy the, you know, three miles segment that's by your house and still be a trailer runner. Like that's all okay. So I'd say the big thing is like, just... ease into it and just really enjoy it. KATIE: [00:25:27] Awesome. Great advice. If people want to follow along with your adventures in the future, where can they find you? COREE: [00:25:33] Yeah.

Coree comes onto the podcast and chats all things Eco Challenge, The World's Toughest Race Fiji. Specifically what it was like to be part of Team Onyx, whose mission in the race went beyond the race experience itself. The team was participating with a purpose to represent the African American, as well as the LGBT community. The team comprised of record-holding ultramarathoner, Coree Aussem-Woltering, skilled ultra-endurance mountain biker Samantha Scipio, former Navy SEAL and Crossfit gym owner Chriss Smith Jr and former Div.1 NCAA football player and filmmaker Mikayla Lyles. Leading this team of trailblazers was seasoned adventure racer and former Marine Clifton Lyles.We discuss how the team formed, how they prepared for the challenge, what was their team strategy - considering they only met one before the race, and how was their experience. It truly is a masterclass in leadership and teams.Fast forward to 2020, Coree, has had his entire race season cancelled and decided to channel his fitness and passion into a fastest known time attempt on the Ice Age Trail. It is a historic footpath which runs through the state of Wisconsin, US. It took him 21 days, 13 hours, 35 minutes to run the 1,147 miles -- smashing the previous record by some five hours. It wasn't smooth sailing and Coree talks about the challenges and the fundamentals of focusing on 10 seconds at a time as a way to endure the hardship. At the same time he has raised over $50,000 to support small businesses in his community & those negatively affected by Covid-19Coree is as much known for his Speedos and positive attitude as he is for his stand-out running ability. His coach once told Trail Runner Magazine he’s never heard Coree make an excuse, and if he could bottle up Coree’s work ethic and perseverance and sell it, he’d be a billionaire. Coree began his running career with the 400m and 800m distances, which he ran from middle school through college. He was en route to becoming a professional triathlete, when he discovered ultrarunning.Coree and his husband, a professional skydiver, live in Ottowa, Illinois (#CornfieldCowboys). Coree champions diversity in the outdoor world so that everyone can find a role model who looks like them. He is keen to break stereotypes in adventure sports.

This week's guest is the incredible ultra runner Coree Woltering!! Coree recently set the FKT on the 1,200 mile Ice Age Trail through Wisconsin, completing it in 21 days, 13 hours, and 35 minutes. He also is featured on the new Amazon Series "World's Toughest Race: Eco Challenge Fiji" as a member of Team Onyx, the first all-African American team in expedition racing. In this episode we chat all about these two huge events!! Coree shares his perspective as an elite ultra runner taking on his first adventure race and the challenges faced along the way. The race looks incredibly difficult and Team Onyx is one of the inspiring groups featured throughout the show. He also goes into the ups and downs of the Ice Age Trail FKT- a super secret trick to handle trails with crazy amount of ticks, his go-tos when fueling with gas station food, how to breakdown gigantic goals, why you should always listen to Pete Kostelnick's advice on ankle recovery, and how accepting pain and staying level headed through adversity helped him achieve his goal. This episode was an absolute blast to record!! Coree is awesome and is a huge inspiration! I also wanted to thank Adam Casey for rejoining the show to co-host this week!!

Chasing Tomorrow show hosts Dave Proctor and Joe Gagnon interview Ultrarunner and The North Face athlete Coree Woltering. He most recently set an FKT on the Ice Age 1200 mile trail.  He has competed in Western States coming in 25th, got first place at 5:30 in the Tunnel Hill 50, and is a 2:26 marathoner.  His love for running and adventure is apparent in how his career has developed and it looks like his career in the elite part of the ultra running community is very bright.   Highlights from the podcast include: Coree tells us what it is like to run more than 50 miles a day for 21 straight days.  Ticks, mosquitos, turned ankles - all are part of what it takes to break and FKT - Coree reveals what it really is like to do Ultras In ultra-running more experience is better and Coree tells us how he got into ultra running and what his plans for the future are Of course, he tells us about how he thinks about chasing tomorrow.

After a year of ups and downs Coree Woltering was looking forward to a fresh start in 2020. COVID 19 forced him to change his race plans and use his fitness to tackle the 1200 mile Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin where he hoped to set a new FKT. After some hard first days on the trail he had to dig deep to make his goal a reality.

We get the Dirt on the three FKT holders on the iconic Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. Close to 1,200 miles of trail that traverses across Wisconsin. We sit down with North Face athlete Coree Woltering who just set a new record. Annie Weiss, the current women's FKT holder and Jason Dorgan the previous male FKT holder.

We are joined by Coree Woltering, badass ultrarunner, to chat about his recent FKT attempt on the 1,170 mile Ice Age Trail! Ticks, sprained ankles, sleepless nights - he worked through it all! This is a great episode with one of the best ultrarunners in the sport.

On Today's episode, I talk with Coree Woltering about his journey from a mid distance D3 runner to a sponsored ultra runner and the challenges as a gay black athlete in a predominantly white sport.

“So, the cool thing is a lot of my friends in Boulder were trail runners, so they're like, ‘Hey, maybe you should just try trail running. You don't even have to be fast at it—you could just try it.' And I was like, ‘I guess I could but if I'm going to do it, I want to do it well.' And they're like, ‘Yeah, yeah, you'll see, it's going to be different.' I mean, the first trail run I ever went on I was like, ‘This is really awesome. You get to be in nature. This is awesome. I love this.' And then I did start thinking, ‘OK, so how do I get better at this?' I think that's just kind of part of my personality, I guess.” I enjoyed talking to Coree Woltering for this week's episode of the podcast. Coree is professional trail and ultrarunner for The North Face. He's based in his hometown of Ottawa, Illinois and loves to race at a variety of different distances and disciplines. The 29-year-old has run 5 hours and 30 minutes for 50 miles and he's eyeing a Golden Ticket in the spring of 2020 with the hopes of getting back to the Western States Endurance Run next summer. We covered a lot of ground in this exchange, from how Coree went from being a fast 400 and 800m runner in HS and college to qualifying for the half Ironman world championships as an amateur triathlete, and eventually transitioning to becoming a competitive trail and ultrarunner; what it's like being a gay black man in ultrarunning and endurance sports and how he's advocating for more diversity, why ultra-distance races in the midwest don't get the credit they deserve, how he got into coaching and who has influenced his philosophy along the way, and a lot more.

Kia Ora whanau!! This week on the podcast we speak with professional ultramarathon runner Coree Woltering. Coree loves to run, and notes that he will race any distance or any surface. From his start racing 200 and 400 metres at high school Coree then took up swimming and cycling to manage injury and before-you-know-it had qualified twice for the world 70.3 Ironman championships, all the while running on his college 4x400m relay team. Coree’s head was turned to trails when he found himself pacing his friend at the iconic Leadville 100 and universally loved the experience. Fast forward a few years and Coree is now sponsored by The North Face and experiencing life as a full time athlete. Of note, Coree ran a 5:30:15 50-mile PR at the Tunnel Hill 50 Miler, in 2016, which was the 2nd fastest American 50 mile time that year. Coree also has a 2:26 Marathon and podium finishes at the American River 50 and Quicksilver 50K among many notable finishes.This conversation, as with every DCR episode, veers all over the map...from Coree’s experience at UTMF, where the race was cancelled due to storms and it was so cold that in Coree’s own words “I had to wear pants”. We also discuss the factors he’s learnt to manage and cope with whilst travelling as an athlete, to his love of Colorado, and how even though Coree loves going fast (he is fast) his love of the engagement and interaction at 100 mile event is what makes the sport incredibly special to him. We also discuss the importance of stating your goals, no matter if it makes you nervous. We are firmly Team Coree and can’t wait to see how he goes with a stacked summer of racing. Enjoy!!

Coree Woltering returns to the show to discuss his recent win and CR performance at the Frozen Gnome 50K, signing with North Face, attempting Dry January and the benefits thus far and so much more!

This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast.  Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn’t suppress.  This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes.  They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up.  Someone who is Doing It For Themselves is not selfish in their pursuit, they are simply chasing a dream or working towards a goal because it is something THEY want to do.  They are not forging down a path because society or someone is telling them it’s what they should be doing.   First I would like to start off by saying I apologize for the audio quality on this episode.  There was this annoying hissing noise on my recording for some reason and I did my best to get rid of it but it compromised my audio quality just a little.  It isn't unbearable by any means but I know this isn't the crisp audio quality that you are used to getting from me.  In any event, we must forge on.     My guest this week is Coree Woltering and Coree is an amazing runner.  Coree has had some very solid accomplishments in his early running career and I am very excited to share this episode with you.  Not only has Coree posted some amazing times for running but he has actually twice qualified for the Ironman 70.3 world championships and he walked away from all of this after falling in love with running when pacing a friend for the Leadville race.     Coree has a great personality and he is very open during our conversation so I hope you enjoy!   Coree on Instagram   Do It For Yourself Instagram   Support the show here

We're getting back to the science stuff next week, but today we've got another episode for ultra geeks. Spurred by Trail Runner magazine's recent profile on Coree Woltering, teammate Rich Heffron joins the show to discuss the current state of ultrarunning media. We tackle the question of whether there is a West Coast bias in ultra coverage (7:00), whether media organizations in the sport have an obligation to cover certain events (26:00), why USATF championship races aren't a bigger deal (31:30), and the geographic distribution of Western States qualifiers (51:30). We also name-check some non-West Coast ultrarunners who deserve more respect (55:35) before we get Rich's Desert Island Picks (1:03:50).Links: Rich's MPF/RNR bio page The aforementioned Coree Woltering profile in Trail RunnerMy beer for the episode: Dogfish Head 60-minute IPARich's Desert Island Picks: Currents by Tame impala, Why We Run by Bernd Heinrich, Left Hand Nitro Milk StoutIntro music: "Fine Line" by the BloodlettersOutro music: "When I Was Still Young" by Yard Sale

Coree Woltering is a professional trail/ultra runner for inov-8 and Down To Run. He enjoys racing any distance on any surface. 2016 was a breakout year for Coree, running personal records from 5k to 50 miles. With the biggest highlight of 2016  running 5:30:15 for 50 miles at Tunnel Hill. It ended up being the second fastest 50-mile time in North America for the year. Coree wasn’t always a distance runner. He ran track in his school days and flirted with triathlons for a few years but after discovering trails and ultra running he has found his passion. When Coree is not not running, He enjoys beer/wine tasting, coaching, cooking, reading and eating ice cream. However his greatest achievement to date just might be having the privilege to coach Crystal and Stephen :) Coree on the web: Instagram: coreewoltering STRAVA Heartland Running on the web Website Facebook Group Instagram Strava Club Save 20% on SWORD Performance Products by using discount code: HEARTLANDRUNNER at checkout Voicemail: 417-319-1060 A special thank you goes out to The Ozark Mountain Daredevils for allowing us to use their music on the show.

Legendary ultra runner,race director and overall bad ass Mr. Steve Durbin joins Stephen on the show. Durbin Race Management puts on some of the most unique and challenging races to be had. From the “Baby Barkley” 50K that gives you a taste of the Barkley Marathons to the super fast Tunnel Hill 50/100 and many other amazing running adventures. We dive into what got Steve into this crazy addiction we all love and how he hasn’t let back surgery stop him from enjoying the lifestyle. Stephen admits he asked Mr. Durbin on the show for selfish reasons as he plans on making the Tunnel Hill 50/100 his first 100 miler in 2017 and was looking for some tips and history of the race. We find out about several records that have been set at The Tunnel Hill including Coree Woltering’s blazing fast 50 mile record this year. You can hear about Coree’s exciting run over at The Negative Splits Podcast EP19. Mr. Durbin shares some valuable tips on running long distance such as fueling correctly, he recommends real food and Sword Energy Drink to keep the stomach in check. Most importantly though is your mental state, do you want to hurt for a little bit and achieve something amazing or quit and regret it for life? I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed talking with Mr. Durbin and hopefully will be having him back on with another very special guest in the near future for a good old fashioned running B.S. session. Andy will return on the next episode of The Heartland Running Podcast.
