Are you glorifying the grind… or ignoring the warning signs of injury? In this episode, Coaches Valerie and Caroline break down the difference between productive discomfort and unnecessary pain in training. Learn how to recognize when it's time to push—and when it's smarter to reset and preserve your ability to run another day.From overtraining mindset traps to the truth about DNF (Did Not Finish) shame, this episode is a must-listen for any runner who's ever felt conflicted about stopping mid-run.Discover the RunRX approach to intensity, injury prevention, and what “suffering” in training should really feel like.

This episode brings the trio—Burso, Fitzy, and Joe—back together for a mix of trail-running prep, personal stories, and absolute chaos. With Joe signed up to run the first 19km leg of the Surf Coast Trail Marathon (while still recovering from Influenza A), and his mate Chris doing the second leg, the episode dives into the unfiltered realities of amateur endurance sports: the motivation, the gear, the setbacks, and the questionable preparation.There's no shortage of friendly roasting and classic Fitzy shade as the boys cover everything from text message ghosting, to accidental podium finishes, to toe trauma. Joe admits to doing “almost zero prep” for this race, aside from a solid pasta meal and packing some emergency Skittles. He reflects on the brutal Wilson's Prom Marathon, where dehydration and searing granite heat saw him sheltering under a tree for 15 minutes before walking the final 6K—only to discover he'd placed on the podium due to mass DNFs.Open-ended questions this episode answers:Can you run a trail marathon without training and still have fun—or even place?What's more important—running tech or snacks?Why do your toenails always betray you when the running gets tough?Can banter, resilience, and a bit of stubbornness carry you through a cold 19km?The episode also explores the infamous Surf Coast Century, the appeal of team-based endurance events, and the possibility of putting together veteran teams for bigger challenges. Fitzy, ever the pragmatist, gives gear tips while shaming everyone's Strava usage. Meanwhile, Joe's story about getting his best half-marathon time after stepping off a submarine becomes one of the many “how the hell did that happen?” moments.But it's not all running. From Burso being taunted by an 11-year-old parkrun assassin, to Fitzy's blackened toenails, and heated arm-wrestle rivalries with tattooed authors, there's no shortage of off-track stories that make this episode a rollercoaster of laughs and relatable chaos.

This week's episode is full of insights from the peak of race season! Katie and Elena cover whether and how to use pacers, how to handle the overstimulating nature of race morning, what to wear for racing, how improving your aerobic base improves your top end race performance, mindset shifts in the context of race-day uncontrollables, and not writing the narrative of the race before it's happened. We also do an extended deep dive on Elena's tough DNF at the Orcas Island 50K due to a calf injury as well as some of the mental hurdles she battled along the way and lessons she picked up from the experience.

Send us a textThe 2024 Golden Trail Series kicks off in Japan with the technically challenging Kobe Trail race, and we've got the complete preview to get you ready for all the action. This 21K mountain course packs a serious punch with nearly 7,000 feet of climbing across four increasingly difficult loops, culminating in a brutal final climb that will separate the contenders from the pretenders.What makes this race particularly fascinating is the unique intersection of skills required – pure climbing strength versus technical descending prowess. The Japanese terrain features slick roots, rocks, and challenging singletrack that caused several DNFs last year when Philemon Kiriago twisted his ankle while running in the lead pack. This technical challenge especially favors athletes with orienteering backgrounds, potentially giving an edge to competitors like Switzerland's Joey Hadron.We break down the surprisingly thin elite field (compared to typical Golden Trail events), analyzing why many top athletes chose to skip this opener and how that creates a strategic advantage for those who made the journey to Japan. On the men's side, defending champion Patrick Kipngeno returns as the clear favorite, coming off remarkable training blocks in Kenya with 120+ mile weeks. For the women, newly-signed Norda athlete Joyce Njeru faces strong challenges from technical specialists Sarah Alonso and Malin Osa in what promises to be a fascinating tactical battle.Whether you're following the Golden Trail Series all season or just love expert race breakdowns, this episode delivers insider knowledge on course specifics, athlete preparation, and bold predictions for who might take home the win. The conversation also explores broader themes in the sport including sponsor dynamics, athlete development, and the strategic importance of early-season race selection in a championship year.This episode was brought to you by Ultimate Direction, use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your next purchase on ultimatedirection.comFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow Nick on IG - @nick.tusaFollow the Steep Stuff on IG - @steepstuff_pod

In this episode of HappyCast, we welcome Kathryn “Kat” Stewart, Charmin McKee, and Gus Rodriguez—three incredible ultrarunners who completed the 2024–25 Lone Star Slam. This ambitious challenge—completing six 100-mile races across Texas in just eight months, including Habanero Hundred, Cactus Rose, Dinosaur Valley, Brazos Bend, Rocky Raccoon, and Grasslands—sets the stage as the crew dives deep into what it takes to conquer the Slam.Each guest shares what got them into the challenge and how their motivation evolved with every race. Charmin juggled a demanding job and motherhood while using trail running as her personal outlet. Kat transformed the challenge into a fundraising campaign for her daughter's rare genetic condition. Gus embraced the Slam as a way to discover new parts of Texas and test his pacing strategy across diverse terrain. From dancing into aid stations to sleepwalking into emotional breakthroughs, this episode reveals how joy, grit, and community can carry runners through the darkest miles.The crew reflects on their highs and lows—from near DNFs and energy drink-fueled hallucinations to ghost energy (both literal and figurative) and the dreaded terrain of Cactus Rose. With stories of unconventional nutrition (shoutout to chicken salad, Bobos, and Ghost Energy), sandal running legends, and surprising race favorites, this conversation captures the spirit of ultrarunning in its most rugged and rewarding form.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

In this Age Grouper for Life episode, Colin interviews the great, Raymond Botelho. Raymond recounts how he got into triathlon in 1994 after a friend dared him to do a race near his hometown of Newport, Rhode Island. He had no prior experience but was eager to try it, and was mentored by an experienced triathlete named Jim Merchant who helped him train for his first Ironman race in 1996. Since, he started racing professionally in 1999. They discuss the importance of swimming, coaching philosophies and experiences, and reflections on a storied career. Thanks for joining the podcast, Raymond! You can visit Raymond's coaching website at https://www.raybotelhofitness.com/. ​--- Show Notes: Becoming a Professional Triathlete @ 3:00 Raymond started racing professionally in 1999, working multiple jobs to support his training. He had some early successes but also struggled with fueling and pacing, leading to a few DNFs. He eventually broke the 9-hour Ironman barrier in 2014 and continued to improve his times over the next several years. The Importance of Swimming @ 7:40 Raymond emphasizes the importance of swimming, especially open water swimming, for triathletes. He discusses how he became a strong swimmer through lifeguarding and self-teaching, and how he incorporates long, steady swim sessions into his training. He encourages athletes to focus on improving their swimming rather than neglecting it. Coaching Philosophy and Experiences @ 11:20 Raymond shares his coaching philosophy, which focuses on helping athletes of all levels and backgrounds achieve their goals. He recounts a story of coaching a novice triathlete to an Ironman finish, highlighting the importance of building trust and providing the right guidance. He believes the training is often harder than the race itself. Reflections on a Storied Career @ 19:30 Raymond reflects on his triathlon career, including the highs of breaking 9 hours in Ironman and the lows of DNFs that he now sees as learning experiences. He emphasizes the importance of pushing one's limits and not being afraid to fail, as it is part of the journey to becoming a better athlete.

On this week's episode, Zoe and Hannah recap the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP.  But, before getting into the last race of the season, they discuss the George and Max drama, the driver dinner, Esteban's Alpine goodbye, circuits leaving the calendar, and Max becoming a father!

'To finish first, first you have to finish'. Formula 1 teams can't score points, wins or championships unless their cars make it to the chequered flag. Reliability Engineers like Sauber's Laura Villadelprat work in the garage and the factory to keep the cars on-track and avoid the dreaded DNF (Did Not Finish). Laura explains how F1 teams know when it's time to swap old car parts for new ones, how they monitor reliability in real time, and what they do to investigate the causes of race-ending problems.

In this episode of HappyCast, we dive into the incredible journey of Addy and her triumphant finish at the Javelina Jundred. Known for its party atmosphere and relentless desert heat, Javelina pushed Addy to her limits as she tackled high temperatures in the 90s, fully exposed trails, and the goal of breaking the coveted 30-hour mark. With determination and a carefully executed plan for each loop, Addy proved that grit and preparation are the keys to conquering an ultra.Stephanie shares how Addy played a pivotal role in her own ultra-running journey. From joining the Dallas Dirt Runners to finishing their first 50K at Running the Rose and even starting races like Born to Run and Lake Murray together, their friendship has been one of growth, perseverance, and learning. Addy's experience at Javelina was about more than just the finish—it was about embracing challenges and overcoming past DNFs to redefine her limits.We also hear from Steve, who takes us inside the unique party atmosphere at Javelina's base camp. With costumes, music, and the vibrant energy that sets this race apart, it's clear why Javelina is a favorite among ultrarunners.

In this episode, I dive into the rising trend of 'Did Not Finish' (DNF) in trail running. From my perspective as both a coach and runner, I explore how several factors are fueling this increase—like the draw of competition, the influence of social media, and the pressures of sponsorships. With financial incentives becoming more common, more athletes are taking bigger risks, which can often lead to DNFs. I also reflect on the mental side of racing, the importance of smart decision-making during events, and how social media impacts the way the trail running community views success and failure. Tune in as I break down the complex balance between ambition and sustainability in this ever-evolving sport! takeaways -The internet has contributed to more people quitting races. -Men are more likely to take risks in competitions. -Golden tickets for races create an addictive pursuit. -Increased sponsorships lead to higher competition levels. -Social media influences the way athletes approach their goals. -Visibility of success can lead to unrealistic expectations. -The pressure to perform can result in more DNFs. -Smart training and respect for the sport are crucial. -The media side of trail running is evolving. -Peer pressure can cloud personal motivations. Sound Bites "The internet has made more people DNF." "There's a science out there about risk-taking." "Getting a golden ticket is addicting." Chapters 00:00 The Rise of DNF in Trail Running 14:21 The Impact of Competition and Sponsorships 25:03 The Role of Social Media in Trail Running 28:27 Conclusion and Future of Trail Running

Deepak Shukla has been a runner since he was a teenager. The sport comes easily to him, although he has had his share of finishes and DNFs. The 38-year-old digital marketing manager did the Chicago Marathon, his first, in 4:40. From there, he crossed over to the dark side: ultras. Rather than completing a 50K or 50-mile race, he opted for a 100K. From there, he tackled the hundo, with mixed results. In December, he will attempt his first 200-mile race: the Centurion Winter Downs, a single loop around the south of England (He is English, after all.) Runners get 96 hours to complete this feat. We talk about his running career, the ups and downs of ultras and whether he listens to music on race day. Very interesting person, now based in Northwest Italy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/support

What drives an ultra marathoner to push through the final miles, or decide to DNF (Did Not Finish)? This episode tackles this profound question head-on, drawing from recent high-profile races like UTMB, Run Rabbit Run, and Leadville Trail 100. We explore the mental frameworks and pre-race preparations that can make or break an athlete's performance. By sharing personal stories and expert insights, we aim to provide guidance that helps athletes make confident decisions during and after a race, all while acknowledging the vital role coaches play in offering emotional support.Coaches face a delicate balance of celebrating successes and owning failures, especially in the high-stakes world of elite races like Western States and UTMB. Through candid discussions and reflections on personal experiences, we highlight the importance of empathy, self-reflection, and continuous improvement in coaching. We delve into public perceptions of coaching effectiveness, the individualized support athletes need post-race, and the role of feedback in fostering a growth mindset.Decision-making in ultra marathons is fraught with complexities, often involving more than just physical readiness. Using data from events like the Western States 100, we explore common issues such as nausea and mental fatigue, and how these can be mitigated through training and mental resilience. With insight from coaches AJW and Neal, we discuss lessons learned from DNFs, the integration of sports psychology into training, and the emotional journey of ultra runners. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the intricate dance of mind and body in the quest to cross the finish line.SUBSCRIBE to Research Essentials for UltrarunningAdditional resources:Buy Training Essentials for Ultrarunning on Amazon or Audible.Information on coaching-www.trainright.comKoop's Social MediaTwitter/Instagram- @jasonkoop

NASCAR is headed back to Daytona this weekend for the second to last race in the regular season. Steve Letarte breaks down the strategy with team's fuel saving. With the Playoffs not far away, Tampa Timms thinks we could have a chaotic race.We saw chaos at Michigan going airborne. Letarte talks about the changes NASCAR is making with the lift-off speed to try and prevent that from happening.The Professor has a colorful model this week. At the top are: Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick, Chris Buescher, and William Byron.There are some Ford drivers at the top of the predictor. But there are a couple that are missing. Joey Logano is the betting favorite. But, only two top-10s in the last 10 races have him in tier 2. Another big name the Professor isn't big on is Brad Keselowski who has 11 DNFs in the last 15 races at Daytona. Kyle Larson is 19-1 to win, but there is one problem. He's never finished in the top-5 at Daytona.If you're looking for a long shot, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Todd Gilliland are two good options. Tampa Timms has one simple rule for betting top-10s this week. “It must be plus money." For the first time all year, there are top-20 bets. The guys have a full breakdown of drivers worth betting on from William Byron to Cody Ware. The guys also chat about drivers that you could see lead a lap.Tampa Timms is normally not a fan of stacking bets, but Letarte has an idea for him betting top Toyota.Plus, the guys quickly preview the Xfinity series and why this is the week Sheldon Creed will finally get his win. For more Dirty Mo Dough content, head over to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoDough

I interview Morgan Elliott, a runner specializing in short and fast races. We discuss the mindset of redlining during a race and how to determine if it's going to be a good day. We also talk about vertical kilometers (VKs) and the intense physical and mental challenges they present. Morgan shares his experience of representing the USA in international races and the camaraderie among team members. We also touch on the topic of DNFs (Did Not Finish) and the different motivations behind dropping out of a race. In this conversation, Morgan discusses his experience racing in Europe, his training strategies, and his favorite distances and types of running. He talks about the camaraderie and strategy involved in team races, the importance of recovery and preventing injuries, and the thrill of racing in challenging conditions. Takeaways Redlining during a race means pushing yourself to the limit and knowing that you have to give it your all from the start. In VK races, the first few minutes are crucial, and it's important to pace yourself and not go out too hard. Representing your country in international races is a special experience, and it's important to give it your best and be proud of wearing the national team uniform. DNFs (Did Not Finish) are a personal decision, and while some athletes drop out due to injuries or financial considerations, others choose to push through and finish the race. The camaraderie among runners, whether in the front or back of the pack, is inspiring and creates a sense of community in the sport. Racing in Europe offers a unique atmosphere with enthusiastic spectators and low-key but talented competitors. Camaraderie and strategy play a significant role in team races, while individual strategies are more common in shorter races. Recovery and injury prevention are crucial in maintaining a consistent training schedule. Racing in challenging conditions can be both thrilling and advantageous, as it can unsettle competitors and provide a mental edge. Morgan's favorite distances are three to five hours, and he enjoys technical trails with difficult footing. He is attracted to races with steep climbs and enjoys the challenge of using his hands during the run. Morgan's favorite races include Zagama and Transvulcania, which offer diverse terrain and unique cultural experiences. He is always learning and adapting his training approach, and he plans to focus on shorter races in the upcoming year. Training includes interval workouts, such as tough hill days, to improve his speed and endurance. He embraces the opportunity to race against top competitors and believes in learning from every race experience. Goals for the future include participating in the Skyrunning World Series and completing a 120-mile loop in Summit County, Colorado. Sound Bites "Race when you have a full deck." "You're redlining from minute 10." "If you don't go out four minute miles, you're not going to be in the frame." "There are so many low-key badasses that show up to European races." "I love it when people are like looking at the weather and like, oh man, it's going to rain during a race. I'm like, yes. Anything that can get in the heads of my competitors." "I did a lot of Hill workouts. I call them tough Hill days and they are mean."

Rarely do we look at training for endurance or being an endurance athlete here. Today is different. This isn't a suggestion nor a recommendation. But it is a glass ceiling lift. Whatever you think is possible, is possible. There are few 78-year-olds training for 4-5 hours on a bike or spending hours a week in the pool and on their zero gravity treadmill... preparing for one of the most daunting events in triathlon. But today's guest is. My returning guest is a 78-year-old endurance athlete and she's here to share her next goal. If you walk away with one thing, I hope it is that it's never too late, you're not too old. And if you find yourself thinking, she shouldn't, you reconsider and do a self check about your own fear level instead. My Guest: Dexter Yeats, age 78, but identified as 79 for Racing, as it is My Last Year in the Female 74-79 Age Group! In the late 1970s, she began participating in triathlons. In her first race, she finished as the third female overall but was also dead last. There were few female racers back then, and no awards for women, so they received single red roses from a local grocery store. Her first Ironman was in Penticton, Canada, in 1993, where she won her age group (45-49) and qualified for KONA, finishing 10th in her age group. Life's demands limited her swimming and cycling, drawing her to Ultra Running. She ran a dozen 50-mile trail runs and attempted a few 100-mile runs, but her career as a Teamster truck driver restricted her training time, leading to some years without racing. After retiring in 2010, she moved near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and resumed racing at 66. She has since completed 15 more full Ironman races, totaling 16, with 10 age group wins and 5 Kona finishes. Despite a few DNFs, she remains undeterred. She has also competed in Ironman 70.3 races, qualifying for the World Championships in Australia, South Africa, and France. In 2018, she won as The World Champion in her age group (70-74) in South Africa. ASEA sponsors her, providing 'Fountain of Youth' products that help her stay healthy, recover and keep going.

In this episode, Coach Ian Sharman talks about the art and strategy of long-term planning in trail running, emphasizing patience and consistency for sustainable gains. Drawing from his own experiences, Ian shares how he improved his marathon times and became a successful ultra runner through diligent training.

This week we are chatting once again with "the Canadian Berserker" Noel Thomson!! In this episode we dive deep into how mental health, ultra running and fitness all interweave. Noel is very open and vulnerable with some of the struggles he has faced in his life and how "controlling what he can control" with exercise and ultra running has helped him climb out of a hole of depression and drug abuse. We also chat about the importance of talking to someone when we find ourselves in those deep dark places and why it's hard for men to do that sometimes. This was a really important episode and a conversation that will stick with me for a long time! If you need help or are struggling, please understand that there are people out there to help. Reach out. MORE FROM NOEL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecanadianberserker/
