On this wild episode of the Free Outside Podcast, we talk with filmmaker Derrick Lytle and into everything Cocodona 250 — from race predictions and course changes to the strength-versus-speed debate heating up in the ultra scene. But first? We take on the internet's most absurd hypothetical: could 100 men beat a silverback gorilla? (Spoiler: probably not.) We trade predictions on Courtney Dauwalter, Ryan Sandes, Mike McKnight, and more while roasting obstacle racers, dissecting mud strategies, and dreaming up the ultimate post-race media blitz. Expect hot takes, cold-weather prep, and plenty of laughs in this pre-race breakdown of one of the most exciting 200-milers of the year.Check out Derrick's Youtube Channel: @TheJuniperLab Chapters00:00 Introduction and Light Banter03:00 The Gorilla Debate: Humans vs. Nature06:01 Cocodona 250: Anticipation and Excitement08:53 The Impact of the Courtney Effect12:03 Women in Ultra Running: Breaking Barriers15:07 Course Changes and Challenges in Cocodona18:01 Weather and Its Influence on Performance21:01 The Evolution of Ultra Running Competitors23:57 CrossFit vs. High Rocks: A Lighthearted Comparison25:25 Transitioning from CrossFit to Endurance Sports26:26 Mike McKnight's Preparation for Cocodona29:11 The Debate on Strength Training for Runners30:25 DJ Fox: The Obstacle Course Racer's Edge31:47 Predictions for Cocodona 25033:27 Weather and Logistics Impacting Race Performance35:51 The Competitive Landscape of Cocodona 25038:10 Emerging Athletes and Dark Horses40:06 Nutrition Strategies for Ultra Runners42:23 Broadcasting Challenges at Cocodona 250Subscribe 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
We're back with the most requested guest of the Free Outside Podcast—except it's just me requesting him. For his third appearance, Derrick Lytle joins the show to break down the Black Canyon 100K with the most in-depth, possibly inaccurate, but definitely entertaining preview out there. We discuss the dreamers and receivers of golden tickets, the state of ultra running rivalries (hint: we just ignited one), and why Hayden Hawks could still win this race from New Zealand. We also cover influencer participation (or lack thereof), how to look good for the live stream, and public domain excuses you can use if your race goes sideways. Other highlights include:

Today we interview Derrick Lytle, who has been a staple at most big trail running events, tackled ultras himself and even gone after the Arizona Trail FKT. Follow Derrick online: https://www.instagram.com/derricklytle/?hl=en Derrick Lytle is a videographer and photographer who got his start in video production by shooting paintball videos. He later transitioned to capturing trail running footage and found a passion for storytelling through visual journalism. He discusses his experiences in the trail running community, including his attempts at the Arizona Trail FKT. Lytle also shares his thoughts on nutrition in endurance sports, emphasizing the importance of fueling appropriately for the level of intensity and duration of the activity. In this conversation, we discuss the topics of fat adaption and fat burning in ultrarunning, the importance of individualized nutrition strategies, and the challenges and rewards of stage racing and bikepacking. We also share stories of their adventures, including a terrifying experience on dangling ladders in Mexico. Takeaways Derek Lytle started his career in video production by shooting paintball videos and later transitioned to capturing trail running footage. He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in his work and how it has evolved from a hobby to a career. Lytle discusses his experiences in the trail running community and the challenges of balancing work and personal goals. He shares his thoughts on nutrition in endurance sports, highlighting the need to fuel appropriately for the level of intensity and duration of the activity. Ultrarunners are likely burning more fat than they think, even during high-intensity efforts. Individualized nutrition strategies are crucial for success in endurance events. Stage racing offers a unique challenge of pacing oneself and managing nutrition over multiple days. Bikepacking allows for greater distance and exploration compared to hiking or running. Creating and completing self-designed routes can be fulfilling and rewarding. Adventure activities often involve calculated risks and require problem-solving skills. Safety standards may vary in different countries and outdoor activities. Connecting with the running and outdoor community can enhance the overall experience. Sound Bites "I wear a lot of hats, but the main thing would be making videos, taking photos." "I think more than anything, it was just like learning to tell stories." "To shoot something and make it good, I feel like you have to do that sport for the most part." "All ultrarunners are burning fat to a certain extent." "Your body is naturally going to be in a fat burning state versus high glucose burning." "No one winning or doing well at these races shows up and does 100 grams of carbs an hour for the first time."

Derrick Lytle and Michael Carson are ultra runners based out of Phoenix, Arizona. They’ve traveled to Europe, India, Australia, and other locations creating running content. They’re heading to Western States next week with Altra Running to cover the event.
Derrick Lytle joins me to talk about his role in the MUT scene, the overall media landscape, and his recent FKT attempt on the 800 mile Arizona Trail. The post Derrick Lytle | Outdoor Photography, Filmmaking, and Running appeared first on Ultrarunnerpodcast.com.
Derrick Lytle is a Utah-based filmmaker and photographer who is more than likely shooting his next project in the vast landscapes of the American southwest. He can also be found at many of our community’s events, both behind and in front of the camera. Derrick recently returned from an intense journey along the Arizona Trail, a legendary 800-mile trail that unravels from the Utah-Arizona border down South to Mexico. Derrick’s hike was an FKT record attempt that took months of planning. But this year, it was not meant to be; his plans were cut short when Hurricane Rosa brought unseasonal, torrential rains to the trail, swamping the panorama and ending Derrick’s excursion. Derrick joined us to discuss his experience, both in its challenge and its splendor.

He is such a down to earth awesome fella and we enjoyed the time we got to talk to him. We talked about his passions and hobbies but most of all we may have come close to a videography deal for "3 1/2 split short reveal". Have a listen to learn more and make sure you check out Derrick on social media. Show Notes: Take 2 with Derrick Photography Videogrpahy Racing Trail Running Public Lands
(Cover Photo by Derrick Lytle https://www.instagram.com/derricklytle/) This week we welcome elite ultra runner, Hoka athlete, and all around nice guy Hayden Hawks to the Like a Bigfoot Podcast! Hayden has a list of insane ultrarunning accomplishments. Everything from winning Speedboat 50k to a first place finish 100k at CCC in Chamonix. Most recently he accomplished something that completely captured my imagination- Hayden, his brother, and a friend explored 100 miles in Utah's Bears Ears National Monument. Bears Ears is an amazing National Monument in Southeastern Utah. Its diverse beauty makes it truly a special place. Recently, Bears Ears has been in the public eye due to President Obama designating it a National Monument in late 2016 and President Trump almost immediately reducing its size by 85%. Hayden wanted to experience this area for himself. Using his ultrarunning talents, he completely threw himself into the vast wilderness of the monument, running through deep untamed canyons, exploring beautiful ancient petroglyphs, and camping beneath the stars in complete solitude. It's an experience that helped him appreciate the ancient cultures that once inhabited the area and the modern Native American tribes that still call the area home. I really hope this episode gives you a ground level perspective on the topic of Bears Ears National Monument. What is it? Why is it important to so many people? I also hope that Hayden will inspire you to step up to big challenges and explore the beautiful public lands that we are lucky enough to have put aside for us in this country. Thanks so much for sharing your story Hayden! I really look forward to cheering you on this year as you step up to the big one this summer- UTMB!!!!
