I'm turning this into unfinished business.”In this episode, Troy Meadows talks with Lindsey Dwyer—a full-time middle school PE teacher and elite ultra-runner who's quietly been stacking some seriously impressive performances on the trails. Lindsey recently finished second at the 2025 Cocodona 250, clocking a time of 79 hours and 35 minutes while battling through a respiratory issue that made breathing, let alone running, feel nearly impossible. Troy and Lindsey dive into how she managed to keep pushing through the low moments of that race, how she juggles 100-mile training weeks with her responsibilities in the classroom, and why she's heading back to UTMB with a big goal and even bigger fire. They talk about the importance of community, mental grit, and showing up fully in both running and life—even when things aren't going your way. From major podiums like Brazos Bend and Miwok to the day-in, day-out grind of teaching and training, Lindsey brings a grounded, inspiring energy to everything she does. Whether you're chasing your first ultra or eyeing 200+ milers, this conversation reminds us what's possible when passion meets perseverance.Motivational TakeawaysEmbracing adversity: Lindsey talks about pushing through pain and illness during Cocodona, finding grit when moments get dark.Smart training: balancing high mileage with recovery, especially juggling teaching responsibilities.Big‑picture mindset: viewing setback as setup — she's targeting UTMB this year and looking to return to Cocodona stronger than ever.Relevant LinksIG: @linzdwyerTrail Runner Mag post celebrating her Cocodona resultPartner Links: Janji - Janji.comA big shoutout to our sponsor, Janji!

Zan Alberici is a hiker and trail runner from New Hampshire who just recently got into trail running, but has thrown down some massive efforts in just a short period of time. Most recently, Zan became the first known person to complete the White Mountains 100 in an unsupported manner. The Whites 100 is a grueling 100 mile route with 34,000 feet of gain, and the DNF list is far longer than the list of finishers.

From the iconic racing track in the Netherlands we see an epic weekend of racing with "surprises" all around!! Marc Marquez, who said himself he wasn't planning on doing well, despite qualifying on the 2nd row managed to once again prove why he deserves to remain in MotoGP!! MotoGP standings for the 2025 championship seem to be almost completely decided as a big wreck from Alex Marquez left him with a DNF and some surgeries to clear up his injuries! From 5th on the grid we saw the rising Aprilia star Marco Bezzecchi pull a 3rd place and 2nd place in the sprint and race, proving that the mighty Aprilia might in-fact still be a contender this season!! Follow that with a surprising top 5 finish from not one but two KTM's and we had quite the brand spread in the top finishing spots!! Sadly the tale was not to tell from our main Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo, who could not follow up his hot qualifying lap with a healthy race finishing place!!

Racing is hard. At some point, there will probably be a race that you won't be able to finish and how you reach that point and respond to it, can make all the difference to your relationship with running.

In this episode we talk about the infamous British GP - better known as Silverstone. We talk about the highs, the lows, the DNF's and the surprising podium celebration.

Three starts. Three DNFs. And still… not done.In this raw and honest episode, Fred shares the emotional weight of his third attempt — and third DNF — at the Mac Mac 200 mile trail race. But this isn't a story of failure. It's a story of resilience, reflection, and the relentless pursuit of growth.

The British Grand Prix delivered pure madness, and FORMULA America is here to break it all down! This week, we dive into a wild race at Silverstone where the weather kept teams guessing, strategy played a starring role, and history was made. We talk:

We're officially halfway through 2024—so it's time for a mid-year reading check-in! In this episode, Nicole (aka my mom and book BFF) and I are recapping the books that have taken over our lives in the best ways... and a few that didn't quite hit the mark.We cover:

She ran a debut marathon that most athletes would fantasise about – 2:22:17 – which earnt her the title of 2nd fastest British woman ever (shared with Charlotte Purdue at the time). But Calli describes her 2023 debut as both a blessing and a curse. Her time qualified her for the Paris Olympics, which would be her second marathon ever – talk about baptism by fire!  After a disappointing DNF at Paris, Calli bounced back in a BIG way! She came 7th at Berlin in 2024, running a PB of 2:21:24, solidifying her place as the 2nd best Brit all-time. And earlier this year, she put herself right in the mix at Boston, coming home with 6th place. We talk about Calli's time training with Melbourne Track Club a few years back, and the mindset shift she made after some frustrating years of not making teams. Calli now has plenty of opportunities in front of her. She's been selected to run the marathon for Great Britain at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this year, but is likely to have another option in the 10,000m (maybe even the 5,000m – let's see)! And most importantly, we also get the love story between Calli and now husband/coach Nick Hauger – and it's a real goodie!   -- Follow us on Instagram: @callirianne @runwithit.pod @elisebeacom -- Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

We kick off this Spotlight at the Western States 100, where much of the buzz centered on David Roche's DNF. Roche, a polarizing figure who promised to “science the shit” out of the race, faced unfair criticism both before and after the race, and Ross reflects on how the scientific process often works best when the "hypothesis" fails, and why confronting failed hypotheses to explain under-performance is more beneficial than riding a wave of success .The "science the shit out of it" theme continues with Nike's hyped attempt to help Faith Kipyegon break the 4-minute mile. It didn't just fall short—it missed by a long shot, with Kipyegon never really giving the barrier a scare with a pacing strategy that reveals they all knew it was not truly feasible. Ross and Gareth unpack the science, pseudoscience and "hacks" behind the effort, with honorable mentions for the obviously flawed claims by scientists about drafting benefits, and criticism of many media who parroted hype points without critical thought. We wonder what the athlete who could break 4 looks like, and postulate that they probably don't exist. Yet. From ultra to ultra-short, we shift to the 100m, where Kishane Thompson clocked a blistering 9.75s—the fastest in a decade, leading Gareth to wonder why sprinting seems to have plateaued post-Bolt?In Center Stage (37:14), legal expert Matt Kemp joins us to dissect a recent rugby case where a player successfully sued an opponent for causing a spinal injury with a reckless off-the-ball collision. Could this open the door to more civil claims in contact sports? Matt explains the legal standards around recklessness and duty of care. Ross Replies (1:15:23) to Discourse member Paul on the purpose of sports science and what "truth" means when studies can't be replicated?And in Listener Lens (1:24:15), we explore ATP's role in exercise, wonder whether you can ever “run out” of it, and how the purpose of metabolism is to keep it in good supply. And Finally (1:31:17), we invite you all to join our Tour de France Fantasy League, and see if you can top Gareth and Ross' picks in our two leagues!Join DiscourseJoin the Discourse community, to hang out with the racers, analysts, legal experts, coaches and experts, by making a small monthly pledge at PatreonLinksAnalysis of the 100m event that inspired our 100m chatGymnastic medalists are getting olderReport on the decision ruling in favour of a player injured by opponentMatt, our new legal expert, is a partner at Becker Kemp Solicitors & AttorneysRoss' reply to Tony on the ATP depletion question - members onlyTDF FANTASY LEAGUE - play one of our two leagues Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Booked & Unfiltered, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith dive into the unspoken pressure readers face in a world obsessed with speed and quantity. From the guilt of not finishing a book (DNF) to the blurred lines between genuine reviews and influencer content, they unpack how hustle culture is infiltrating the literary world. Michelle and Steph get real about balancing reading for work vs. reading for joy, why timing is everything when it comes to picking up the right book, and how mixing up your reading routine can reignite the spark. Plus, a fun wrap-up on dream book merch—because who wouldn't want a tote that says “Read The Damn Book”? What We're Talking About... The pressure to read can be overwhelming, especially with so many new releases. It's important to find books that resonate with you personally. Reading should be enjoyable, not a chore or competition. DNFing a book doesn't mean you failed; it means you're honoring your reading journey. Everyone has different preferences and opinions about books. Reading is a personal experience and should be tailored to individual needs. Book reviews should reflect genuine engagement with the material. Mixing up genres can enhance the reading experience and prevent burnout. It's okay to prioritize reading for pleasure over professional obligations. Merchandising ideas can stem from a love for books and reading.  Chapters 00:00 The Pressure to Read All the Books 06:02 The DNF Debate: When to Put a Book Down 11:47 Balancing Reading for Pleasure and Work 18:03 Mixing Up Your Reading Routine 23:56 The Future of Book Merchandising

Western States 100 ended in a DNF at mile 62. It's partially the normal story of a race that didn't go to plan due to simple errors with hydration leading to a cascade of physical issues. But it's also a lot more complex than that, like life is always more complex than the simple narratives. This episode tries to share the complex story while it's still raw.We talk about anxiety, fear, shame, and embarrassment. We also talk about love, perseverance, and moving through the crap. It's just running. But it's also so much more.Thank you for being here for all of it! We experienced so much love in a tough week.We also talked about the magic of the race, breakthrough performances by Abby Hall and Caleb Olson, and even getting to share miles with Kilian Jornet!Your story matters.

A battle laden with respect at the Redbull Ring as Norris bounced back and Oscar looked to get even, Silverstone's stage is more than set, hold on to your hats. The Sauber resurgence lives on, Bortoletto first points, a double points finish and suddenly eyes are all turning to the green machine. Is 6th or even 5th in constructor more than just a dream? Williams had an absolute mare, a double DNF and opposing fortunes to the Sauber, has the fairytale season start come to an end? And Bernie returned this week, the old boss making his first appearance on the podium ever. The F1 supremo wasn't out of place on the dias.  All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.    

In this week's episode, Zoe and Hannah recap the 2025 Austrian GP. They discuss Williams' tough weekend, Max and Kimi's DNF, Lando's strong performance, Gabi's first points, Liam's great result, and Yuki's problems. They also discuss their thoughts on the ‘F1' movie, the rumors that Valtteri is heading to Cadillac, and the news that Carlos Sainz Sr. is no longer running for FIA president. 

Big Idea: Why race, if not to win?1 Corinthians 9:15-27I. Sacrifice to prepare for the race. 1 Corinthians 9:15-18For my part I have used none of these rights, nor have I written these things that they may be applied in my case. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast! For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to preach—and woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? To preach the gospel and offer it free of charge and not make full use of my rights in the gospel. II. Stretch to get ready for the race.1 Corinthians 9:19-23Although I am free from all and not anyone's slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law. To those who are without the law, like one without the law—though I am not without God's law but under the law of Christ—to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings.III. Strain for the prize at the end of the race.1 Corinthians 9:24-27Don't you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown. So I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air. Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.Next Steps: Believe: I want to start my journey with Jesus today.Become: I will run my race this week. Be Sent: I will stretch myself to help someone connect with Christ this week.Discussion Questions: What is the hardest sporting event you've ever finished?Have you ever started an event but didn't not finish (DNF)?What event have you prepared the longest and hardest for?Who currently serves as an example of the kind of faith you'd like to have? Have you found yourself trying to run someone else's race lately?Who do you know that needs to start a walk with Jesus?Pray for this person by name this week.

Western States may be the most iconic race in ultrarunning—but it also comes with carnage, heartbreak, and a pile of DNS and DNF drama. In this episode, I'm joined by the always-entertaining Allison Mercer (of FastestKnownTime.com) to break down the storylines, the runners who didn't make it to the start line, and wild ideas to spice up the sport (spoiler: mile-seeding starts for elites?).We also dive into the FKT world—John Kelly's latest madness, what's changing in the scene, and why FKTs still matter.

With candid humor and thoughtful insight, Cade reveals the dramatic details of his Canyons 50K finish, where he experienced "full body seizes" yet refused to DNF, and the surprising nutritional discovery that might have been holding him back for years.The Boulder-based runner offers a fascinating glimpse into his training environment, where running alongside some of the world's best trail athletes has both humanized these elite performers and boosted his own confidence. His race strategy for Broken Arrow draws inspiration from French pointillist painting—approaching each segment as its own focused effort while maintaining perspective of the complete picture.Most compelling is Cade's deeply personal motivation: the childhood dream of representing Team USA.

168 Kilometer, über 8.500 Höhenmeter und zwei Nächte auf den Beinen – beim Zugspitz Ultratrail 2025 sind Eugen und Gert gemeinsam gestartet, allerdings mit unterschiedlichen Zielen angekommen. Eugen steigt nach 41 Kilometern aus – Gert, die Maschine, läuft durch. In dieser Folge sprechen die beiden über Zweifel und Zuversicht, mentale Strategien, den Umgang mit Hitze, das richtige Timing beim Ausstieg – und das Gefühl, allein durch zwei Nächte in den Alpen zu laufen. Eine Folge über Selbstfürsorge, Grenzerfahrung und ein Finish, das so schnell nicht vergessen wird.

This week on HappyCast, the spotlight is on cohost Stephanie, who just completed one of the Southeast's most brutal ultramarathons: the Cruel Jewel 100. Alongside fellow runners Drew Flowers and Mike Coutu, the trio takes us deep into the Georgia mountains and even deeper into the pain cave, reliving the highs, lows, and everything in between. With 105 punishing miles and over 33,000 feet of climbing, this race tested not only their legs but their sanity. Stephanie finished in an impressive 41 hours and 25 minutes, and Drew and Mike crossed the line together at 44:18—and yes, she lets them know who finished first.From forgotten trekking poles to mid-race trail therapy sessions, the stories fly fast in this post-race debrief. Stephanie talks about running on stair machines and spite, Drew recounts pulling a hamstring in a kids' street race, and Mike details what it's like to deal with Crohn's while trying not to DNF. We get the scoop on hallucinations, aid station carnage, trail naps, revenge runs, mystery runners named “Hugh Jace,” and a certain bear that ate a car door. Spoiler: everyone gets poison ivy, except Mike.Whether you're an ultrarunning junkie or just here for the chaos, this episode is full of humor, heart, and hard-earned miles. It's a celebration of resilience, community, and the weird, wild stuff that only happens when you spend two days running through the woods. And yes—Stephanie beat the boys. Let's talk about it.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

In this episode of the Peak Endurance Coaching Podcast, we bring you updates from our whirlwind trip to Scotland and dive deep into the raw and honest recount of the Isle of Skye Ultra — where Isobel faced brutal conditions and made the tough call to DNF.

The journey of an ultrarunner is rarely a straight line from start to finish. Sometimes, the path takes unexpected turns – as Mike Weinsheimer discovered when facing snowfall and freezing temperatures at the Canyons 100K in California. But what happens when the race you've trained for slips away? For Mike, the answer was simple yet bold: pivot. Within days, he secured a spot in the iconic Miwok 100K, transforming disappointment into opportunity. Trading snow and freezing rain for sunshine and spectacular coastal views, Mike found himself traversing the beautiful trails of Marin County, from Stinson Beach through redwood forests along Bolinas Ridge.Mike's resilience and adaptability serve as inspiration for runners at all levels. Whether you're contemplating your first ultra or your fiftieth, there's something powerful to learn from someone who can turn a DNF into a triumph just seven days later.

Today, we are reviewing the Monaco Grand Prix! We talk about the disastrous mandated two stop, Alonso's DNF, and Lando coming home with the dub! Enjoy!

A DNF (did not finish)— three letters that can feel like a gut punch to any athlete. Whether you're a seasoned triathlete or toeing the start line for your first ultra, not finishing a race can feel like failure. But it isn't. In this episode, we talk about Angela's experience at Ironman Lanzarote and get real about her DNF.  She was fit and ready to race at the start, but as we know, race day contains highs and lows and that is the beauty of sport. We also talk about DNFs- what they mean, how to cope with the emotional aftermath, and why they might be one of the most powerful teachers in your athletic journey. Have a listen!

Lisa opens up about racing through a painful saddle sore and lingering infection, while Jackson shares how he clawed his way into the top 10 after a long racing hiatus. Garrick gives a raw update on his DNF at Ironman Texas, including his struggle with pain and the tough call to pull out mid-race.
