Podcasts about eco challenge

Ela cresceu entre as montanhas e trilhas da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte e carrega na mochila mais do que equipamentos: leva uma filosofia. Para ela, movimento não é só gesto atlético – é linguagem do corpo, prevenção, cura. Acredita que capacidades físicas não são dons, mas diálogos: se não forem estimuladas, se calam. Na infância, foram as brincadeiras no mato e os rios de Minas que a ensinaram a amar a natureza. Na adolescência, o Eco Challenge na TV mostrou que aventura não era só esporte, mas estratégia e resistência psicológica. A sua primeira corrida de aventura, em 2002, confirmou: tinha encontrado não um hobby, mas uma forma de existência. Formada em Educação Física, transformou a ciência do movimento em bússola. Sabia que, para perseverar precisava de coerência – não heroísmo. Treino meticuloso, periodização inteligente, recuperação sagrada. Em pouco mais de duas décadas, inúmeras corridas de aventura com 8 participações em campeonatos mundiais, dois Ironman e diversas competições de mountain bike, aprendeu que o corpo aguenta mais do que a mente acredita – e que ambos se fortalecem no mesmo ritmo. Professora por vocação, enxerga cada prova como uma oportunidade: o que importa não é só cruzar a linha de chegada, mas mostrar que excelência física é construção diária, não milagre. Mas a verdadeira prova começa onde o mapa termina: na arte de gerenciar incômodos. Sono fragmentado, mochilas pesadas, dúvidas que evocam o famoso "desista". A corrida de aventura a fez mais sensível às maravilhas da natureza, das matas, dos rios, do sol e da lua. Tudo isso tem uma relação enorme com a pessoa que se tornou, com a profissão que escolheu e com a maneira como transmite sua vasta experiência às pessoas ao seu redor. Conosco aqui, ela que não é somente uma atleta, é uma educadora física apaixonada pelo corpo humano e a experiência motora, alguém que respira e se completa no mato, para o mato, com o mato. A atual campeã sul-americana de Corridas de Aventura que aprendeu em incontáveis horas de aventura que o desconforto é passageiro – e que autoconhecimento é o único equipamento obrigatório, a especialista em sofrimento, a nova-limense Mariana Pontes Marques.

There are guests whose stories are filled with incredible achievements. And then there are guests whose stories crack you open—with their heart, their humility, and their humanity.Today's guest, Rebecca Rusch, is all of the above.Rebecca is one of the world's most extraordinary endurance athletes—a 7-time World Champion, mountain bike hall-of-famer, best-selling author, Emmy Award winner, and activist. She has not only pushed herself to the physical edge through rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and multi-day adventure races like Eco-Challenge—she has also traveled to the emotional core of what it means to live fully, love deeply, and be good.You may know her from the acclaimed documentary Blood Road, which follows Rebecca's 1,800-kilometer mountain bike journey along the Ho Chi Minh Trail to locate the site where her father's plane went down during the Vietnam War. That quest wasn't just about closure—it was about connection, healing, and honoring the man who shaped her spirit.In this deeply moving episode of the Cracking Open podcast, we explore:✨ How the loss of her father at a young age ignited a lifelong search for meaning✨ What growing up with a single, hard-working mom taught her about strength and self-reliance✨ The power of curiosity, nature, and endurance to reveal who we really are✨ How a traumatic brain injury forced her to slow down—and reimagine what success looks like✨ Why “being good” matters so much more than being perfectWhat we didn't know when we scheduled this conversation was that Rebecca's beloved mom would pass away just one week before we recorded. And so what unfolds in this episode is not just an interview—it's a powerful reflection on how we live, how we love, and how we show up for the people who matter most.Rebecca's story is one of grit, grace, and growth. And at the heart of it all is a simple message from her father, who signed every letter home from Vietnam with the same two words: Be Good.It's a mantra that continues to guide her—and now, maybe, it will guide you too.

“Get people outside. Let them walk, let them move. And if they can't, do it in a wheelchair. Fresh air and movement—at any level—still have the power to bring joy, connection, and even a little bit of who they once were.”​In this episode of The Ageless Athlete Podcast, I sit down with ultra-endurance athlete, coach, and bestselling author Travis Macy to explore one of the most powerful and personal lessons from his life: how movement, the outdoors, and adventure are helping his father, Mark Macy, live well despite an Alzheimer's diagnosis.Travis has competed in some of the toughest endurance races on the planet, including The Eco-Challenge—where he and his father raced together in Fiji, pushing past limits that most would have thought impossible. But now, he's applying that same endurance mindset to something even more profound: keeping his father active, engaged, and thriving for as long as possible.Through this conversation, we uncover why exercise isn't just about performance—it's about healthspan, and how movement, human connection, and time spent outside can be game-changers for those facing cognitive decline.What You'll Learn in This Episode

One major trait for many great leaders is the ability to not just persevere through hard times, but create an opportunity during challenging times. Eric Kapitulik really, really knows something about that. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, where he was a four year varsity player in D1 Lacrosse, he then went on to serve in the United States Marine Corps, where he served as a Platoon Commander in the elite 1st Force Reconnaissance Division.  In 1999 he suffered a tremendous tragedy, when during a routine training exercise his squad's helicopter crashed where six of his fellow Marines perished. After recovering both physically and emotionally from the crash, Eric focused solely on the well being of his fallen comrades families: In an effort to raise money for a college scholarship fund set up for the children of his deceased teammates, Eric completed eight Ironman Triathlons, The Canadian Death Race Ultra Marathon, The Eco Challenge, and The American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon, and as a side quest, climbed five of the Seven Summits. On top of all this Eric enrolled in the University of Chicago after he left the Marines, and graduated with his MBA in 2005. Shortly after that in 2008 he founded The Program. The Program pulls from his experience in the Marines, and aims to provide organizations with the best personal, leadership, and culture development services worldwide.  We caught up with Eric to talk about his philosophy on developing a high performing team through grit, communication, and setting standards. We also chatted about his new book The Program: Lessons from Elite Military Units for Creating and Sustaining High Performance Leaders and Teams, which details the lessons learned from his time in the Marines and as an entrepreneur.  This is another episode you're not going to want to miss, so with that…let's bring it in!

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.

Mace and Travis Macy join me today for a really special episode. Their new book, A Mile at a Time, is a well-written and unapologetic look at one family's experience with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. Travis and Mace use humor, vulnerability, and channel their willingness to do the hard, important things, to share the highs and lows of their journey. Oh… and in case you didn't know, both of these gentlemen are powerhouse ultra-endurance athletes! In fact, Mace and Travis, a year after Mace's diagnosis, tackled Eco-Challenge Fiji - appropriately dubbed the World's Toughest Race… a 10 day, 417 mile race over mountains, rivers, swamps, and oceans. Travis (@travismacy) has finished over 130 ultra-endurance races, and held the record for the Leadman Challenge (if you don't know… you absolutely have to look it up). Mace (@mmacy146) is one of the OGs from the ultra-endurance world, having competed in everything from the Ironman Triathlon to the Leadville 100, and participating in all eight of the original Eco-Challenge races. Both the book and this interview have a ton of teachable moments, and it was a privilege to spend time with both of these guys. I know, without a doubt, you'll enjoy this one. 

Gentlemen, we are privileged to have not one but TWO incredible human beings with us today. My guests are an inspirational father-son duo, Travis Macy, and his father, Mark "Mace" Macy. For those that don't know, Travis and Mark are legendary endurance athletes. Travis has finished more than 130 ultra-endurance events in 17 countries. And his Dad, Mace, spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Their secret? The Ultra Mindset - a relentless determination that refuses to bow to any obstacle.  When Mark was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Travis and his Dad decided to take on the challenge of Eco-Challenge Fiji together - a grueling seven-day, 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle - for one final race together, to prove that anything is possible with family by your side. In their new book, A Mile at a Time, Travis and Mace weave together excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, telling the story of their incredible journey and what they learned along the way. Their story is one of courage, determination, and above all, love. It's a reminder that in the face of adversity, the ties that bind us give us strength and much more. In our conversation, you'll learn: Strategies for fostering resilience and mental fortitude. How to cultivate a sense of unity and teamwork within your family. How the “Ultra Mindset” can help as you juggle between training, family, and mental health. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: The deep bond between Travis and Mark and their shared love for endurance racing. Choosing love, happiness, and hope. How to fight for your family's future and enjoy quality time in the present.  The benefits of exercise and being in nature has on your mental health. Embracing adversity as a catalyst to greater resilience and self-assuredness. Mace's mantra, “It's all good training.” Insights for those dealing with Alzheimer's.  The comfort of having someone besides you who'll always have your back.

Here is an excerpt from the audiobook, A Mile At a Time with Travis and Mark Macy. Below is the synopsis from Penguin Random House: In October 2018, Mark “Mace” Macy, sixty-four years old, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Mace had spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few people who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Once diagnosed, Mace feared losing endurance, strength, and independence.  Mace's son Travis, also a professional endurance athlete, also struggled to see his father battling the disease. In 2019 they decided to participate in World's Toughest Race—a seven-day, grueling 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle—for one final race together. Weaving excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, A Mile at a Time tells the story of this incredible journey and what both father and son learned along the way. A powerful story about living—and thriving—with a disease that impacts nearly six million Americans. This timely, and deeply moving father-son adventure sheds light on the hard truths of this disease while giving readers hope of all that still can be achieved. A Mile at a Time with Endurance Athletes Travis and Mark "Mace" Macy

Travis Macy is an ultra endurance athlete and coach. He's the author of The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life. I spoke with Travis on my podcast in January about his racing escapades, embracing training, redefining expectations throughout his career and his experience with his dad's Alzheimers. This week, we brought him back with his dad, Mark “Mace” Macy, a 30-year veteran of ultra endurance competitions, who has continued to thrive since his early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2018. Together, they authored the book A Mile at a Time, which tells the story of how Travis and Mace conquered the World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji and how Mace has tapped into his inner strength to deal with his disease.  Mace is a retired attorney and grandfather. He's a well-known athlete in the endurance sports world, pioneering ultra running in the 1980s and adventure racing in the ‘90s. In 2020 he became the only person to compete in an Eco-Challenge race after having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. In this episode, we talked about Mace's story, resilience with Alzheimer's, having the courage to show up in life and maintaining hope and optimism. Key Takeaways: Mark "Mace" Macy's story Resilience after Alzheimer's diagnosis Adventure racing in Fiji Having the courage to show up in life What is adventure racing? Extra precautions competing with Alzheimer's Maintaining hope and optimism Being present Sharing the Alzheimer's journey to positively impact others What does acceptance look like?

A Mile at a Time: A Father and Son's Inspiring Alzheimer's Journey of Love, Adventure and Hope by Travis and Mace Macy with Patrick Regan goes on shelves in hardcover and audiobook tomorrow.Mark “Mace” Macy, a thirty-year veteran of ultraendurance competitions, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2018 at age sixty-four. Whatever fears he had of losing his strength, endurance, and independence, Mace moved beyond them and began planning to participate with his son Travis—also a professional endurance athlete—in World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji, a grueling seven-day, 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle in 2020. A Mile at a Time tells not just the story of how father and son tackled that epic race but the broader narrative of how the Macy family, led by Mace's relentless optimism and remarkable inner strength, rose to the challenge of dealing with a confounding disease to become closer and stronger in the face of adversity and the unknown. Excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journal and a clear-eyed, dramatic first-person narrative by Travis come together in this inspiring book to deliver a powerful message about living—and thriving—with a disease that impacts nearly six million Americans. This timely and deeply moving account of a man and his family's grit and fortitude provides an honest assessment of the tough truths about Alzheimer's disease—and a heartening lesson of hope.TRAVIS MACY has finished over 120 ultraendurance events in seventeen countries.

Grammy winning new age pianist Peter Kater and Paul Cardall, also an award winning pianist, discuss Peter's career and the history new age music. They talk about building successful and prosperous independent music careers in a genre often misunderstood and overlooked by the commercial market. ABOUT PETER KATERWebsite: http://www.peterkater.comFacebookTwitterYoutubeInstagram Listen to Peter KaterSpotifyApple MusicAmazon Music Peter Kater was born of German parents in the Bavarian City of Munich. At the age of seven, not long after moving to New Jersey, his mother insisted that he take classical piano lessons. At the age of 18 Peter left New Jersey with his backpack and his music books and hitch-hiked all around the continental US for over a year. He slept in parks and on beaches and roadsides across the country while stopping to play piano at restaurants and lounges for tips and meals. After logging in over 30,000 miles on the road Peter landed in Boulder, Colorado, finding comfort and inspiration in the Rocky Mountains which reminded him of his childhood upbringing in the Bavarian Alps. Shortly thereafter he started listening to the music of pianist Keith Jarrett; the avant jazz group, Oregon; and the Paul Winter Consort. This opened a whole new musical world and he began improvising 3-4 hours a night at clubs and lounges throughout the Boulder/Denver area sometimes 5 to 6 nights a week. After several years he tired of playing clubs and lounges and quit all his engagements and began renting out small churches and self-promoting small concerts through out Colorado. In 1983 Peter released his first album of solo piano compositions and improvisations entitled SPIRIT. His music was very well received and started charting in the Top 10 of National Contemporary Jazz Airplay charts and within a short couple of years Peter went from playing small churches to performing at 3,000 seat concert halls and at national jazz festivals at the age of 27. In 1985, Actor ROBERT REDFORD asked Peter to play at the then brand new Sundance Institute & Film Festival in Utah. Peter became the featured performer at many of Redford's “green” political fundraisers and events attended by many Hollywood A-list actors, directors and celebrities such as Alan Alda, Sidney Pollock, James Brooks, Dave Grusin, Laura Dern, Mathew Broderick and Ted Turner to name just a very few. In his concerts around Colorado, Peter started to share the stage with some of his favorite artists from his teen years such as DAN FOGELBERG and JOHN DENVER. John Denver asked Peter to coordinate the music for his ground breaking Choices for the Future Symposiums every summer in Aspen, Colorado and also invited him to perform at concerts in Japan and at World Forum events performing for dignitaries and celebrities such as Mikael Gorbachov and Shirley McLain. These collaborations with John Denver went on for almost 10 years until John's untimely death in 1997. Peter's music also caught the attention of New York City's legendary director and Circle Rep Theater co-founder, Marshall Mason and Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Lanford Wilson. Peter's music became the score to their Tony-Award winning Broadway production of Burn This starring John Malkovich and Joan Allen which ran for over one year. As the newest member of their “A-team” in the following years Peter scored the music for 11 On- & Off-Broadway dramatic plays receiving widespread critical acclaim. As Peter's music spread across the world he scored more music for television and films and worked closely with his favorite environmental and humanitarian organizations such as Greenpeace, the National Wildlife Federation, the Nature Conservancy and ChildReach. In 1989 a close friend gave Peter a cassette called Earth Spirit by Native American flutist, R. CARLOS NAKAI. Peter was completely taken by the beauty and earthiness of the Native flute. Peter tracked down Nakai and asked him to collaborate with him on a recording. In the studio they felt as if they'd been playing together forever and their first album, Natives, was completed effortlessly in just a few hours. When recording with Nakai, Peter felt he was embarking on a little “personal” indulgence, temporarily diverging from his thriving mainstream contemporary jazz career. But to his surprise, while his recordings like Coming Home, Two Hearts, Gateway and Rooftops were charting in the Top 10 of National Jazz charts; the new recordings with R. Carlos Nakai quickly became immensely popular in the alternative market selling 100's of thousands of units each and generated a solid and much more personal fan base. Because of the deep satisfaction Peter felt in co-creating this beautiful music with Nakai, he quickly lost interest in the “jazz” genres and shifted his focus to music of a more intimate “healing” nature. Peter then recognized a need for music in support of the healing arts that could actually aid in deep personal healing and transformation. He recorded albums like Compassion and Essence that provided not only a loving supportive musical landscape but also an invitation to dive deeply and safely into one's essential emotional and spiritual nature. Many more CD's in support of the Healing Arts followed as did more recordings with R. Carlos Nakai, seven of which charted in the Top 20 of Billboard's New Age chart. Peter's love and appreciation for the earth and indigenous cultures inspired him to invite more indigenous musicians to record on various projects with him including Native American vocalists Joanne Shenandoah, Bill Miller and Rita Coolidge; Native American flutists Robert Mirabal, Joseph Firecrow, Mary Youngblood, Douglas Blue Feather, Kevin Locke; and South American flutists Jorge Alfano and Ara Tokatlian. Peter also composed two songs for the immensely popular Sacred Spirit recording which sold over 5 millions copies in Europe alone. Peter's music continued to grow and evolve and found it's way into the 2000 and 2004 World Olympics, the Kentucky Derby, the Wild World of Sports and countless television shows like Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, LifeStyles of the Rich & Famous and Bay Watch to name just few. He's scored the music for acclaimed television series like How The West Was Lost; Wild America; Civil War: The Untold Story; Eco-Challenge and Joseph Campbell's Mythos series and films like Sirius, The Legend of Secret Pass and 10 QUESTIONS FOR THE DALAI LAMA. He's given concerts throughout the USA, Europe, Japan and South Korea including performances at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, JFK Stadium in Washington DC, Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver and the United Nations in NYC where he received the prestigious United Nations Environment Leadership Award. Possibly one of Peter's strongest attributes is his love for collaboration with other artists such as Singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins; Tibetan flutist, Nawang Khechog; Sting guitarist Dominic Miller; Sacred Chantress Snatam Kaur and of course his legendary collaboration with Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai. He's also enjoyed performing and recording with many other talented musicians such as virtuoso reedman Paul McCandless; Maverick Cellist David Darling; Peter Gabriel's legendary Bassist, Tony Levin; and renowned Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum. Peter has often been called prolific and is said to have the “gift of melody”. His love and enthusiasm for the creative process, self-exploration, the healing arts and the natural world continues to inspire a well-spring of composing and recording. In a thriving career spanning over 3 decades and going strong, Peter Kater has recorded over 60 albums resulting in the sales of millions of units; has scored the music for well over 100 television and film productions including 11 On- and Off-Broadway dramatic plays; ands the recipient of dozens of awards and honors including 14 Grammy® nominations and a Grammy Award win for his 2017 Dancing On Water recording and his 2019 Wings recording. But most importantly his music has uplifted, soothed, healed and inspired the lives of millions of people all around the world.  ABOUT THE HOST PAUL CARDALLhttp://www.paulcardall.comhttp://www.facebook.com/paulcardallmusichttp://www.youtube.com/cardallhttp://www.instagram.com/paulcardall LISTEN TO HIS MUSICAPPLE MUSIC - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/paul-cardall/4312819SPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7FQRbf8gbKw8KZQZAJWxH2AMAZON - Ask Alexa to play Peaceful Piano by Paul Cardall Paul Cardall is an artist who has given a new meaning to the phrase, a change of heart and how he used this radical change to take his music to an unexpected place.  Despite being born with a potentially life-threatening heart defect Paul Cardall has become a world recognized pianist.

Get ready for a super-exciting and motivational episode with legends of ultraendurance racing, Mark Macy, known to many as Mace, and his son Travis. Mace is an adventure athlete extraordinaire, including competing in every one of the Eco-Challenges during its original iteration from 1995 to 2002. I would take up an entire podcast if I were to read off all of Travis' racing honors. He set the record for the Leadman, which comprises the Leadville Marathon, 10K, 50-mile bike, 50-mile run, 100-mile bike, and 100-mile run. Podiumed the Adventure Running World Championships spread out over 5 to 8 days including running, mountain biking, skiing, winter mountaineering, orienteering, ocean sailing, canyoneering, and spelunking. The Wulong Mountain Quest and Ordos Adventure Challenge: 5-day stage races in China through ancient villages, rice paddies, limestone canyons, caves, cities, deserts, and mountains. Two podium finishes at Primal Quest, America's top adventure race. He completed the 24 Hours of Moab and 24 Hours of Leadville, non-stop mountain bike races on difficult terrain. The Rock and Ice Ultra, a week-long, self-supported winter journey through the Canadian Arctic on foot and on snowshoe. If that's not exhausting enough, Travis is involved in so many areas it's mind-boggling. He penned a book called, “The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life,” and produces a monthly newsletter to supplement the lessons he teaches in it. He runs Macy Endurance Coaching to help athletes achieve their goals, works with Team U, an intercollegiate fundraising endurance team dedicated to improving global health and alleviating poverty.  He hosts the Travis Macy Show podcast, which I highly recommend you find and listen to.  And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that he's also gotten into Colorado's official outdoor sport of pack burro racing. We are far from done here. Travis is now helping Mace battle early-onset Alzheimer's. As you might guess, that doesn't mean either one of them is slowing down. When first diagnosed, Mace wrote into a spiral notebook, “My name is Mark Macy, I am 56 years old and today I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. My doctor told me to get my affairs in order and not spend time worrying about this diagnosis. He urged me to take vacations instead, maybe go on a cruise with my wife Pammy. I told him the diagnosis was bull.” Macy subsequently wrote: “Then my wife reminded me that I am 65 not 56, so maybe the diagnosis isn't completely bull.”  Later he added, “I finished day one of my Alzheimer's diagnosis with a significant decision: I didn't cause this disease. I'm not embarrassed to be one of many who has it. Instead of hiding from it, I'm going to share my story with anyone who wants to listen. My family and I are dedicated to fighting this horrible disease that kills people all over the world.” Not surprisingly, Mace and Travis competed on the same team in the re-boot of the Eco-Challenge in the compelling World's Toughest Race Fiji broadcast on Prime Video hosted by Bear Grylls. Why stop there? The Macys have a new book chronicling this journey titled, “A Mile at a Time: A father and son's inspiring Alzheimer's journey of love, adventure, and hope." They are also just super-nice and engaging people. But when you hear Mace say that he's going to beat Alzheimer's, it's not a stretch at all to believe him.Next book, "A Mile at a Time: A father and son's inspiring Alzheimer's journey of love, adventure, and hope” is now available for pre-order on AmazonMark MacyInstagram @mmacy146Travis Macytravismacy.comtravis.macy@gmail.comFacebook Travis MacyInstagram and Twitter @travismacyLinkedIn linkedin.com/in/travis-macy-92607633Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor

An Over Coffee® special-edition podcast! For San Jose's Tech Interactive Museum, this summer will be especially exciting--and interactive. That's because Summer 2022 marks the first summer their "Solve for Earth" exhibit is open! "The Tech" has always been highly interactive. Visitors can assemble robots, get hands-on in maker workshops and conduct chemistry experiments. And these are just three features of the museum with the mission of "inspiring the innovator in everyone". But "Solve for Earth" takes that interactivity and innovation several steps further. The exhibit encompasses 5,000 square feet, took five years to build--and will be constantly evolving. That's because "Solve for Earth" challenges visitors to problem solve a current issue: climate change. In other words, it asks each visitor to take action after going through the various displays. But don't expect to be lectured. This exhibit is designed to be fun! And it's going to spark a lot of new ideas. "Solve for Earth" opened to the public in November 2021. Shortly thereafter, we had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Michelle Maranowski, Lead Exhibit and Content Developer of "Solve for Earth" Michelle, who is both an electrical engineer and a creative professional, shared the story of this unique exhibit offered a mini-tour of what people will see and explained how everyone, on-site or virtually, can continue the conversation as a community working to combat climate change. On this edition of Over Coffee® we cover: How Michelle first came up with the concept of “Solve for Earth”; Her journey, from there, in creating this landmark exhibit; Michelle's recommendations on sharing information about climate change; What you'll see, as you experience “Solve for Earth”; An Easter egg to look for (and there are others!; Some exciting new technologies aimed at reducing carbon emissions; How the Eco Challenge encourages attendees to continue to take action after they've left The Tech; A look at the virtual resources included in “Solve for Earth”; The core concept at the heart of the exhibit; One of the best creative challenges which Michelle experienced, while designing the exhibits; The ways in which she'd like to see “Solve for Earth” evolve, in the future.

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.

Growing up with a Race Director father, Hunter Leininger has been Adventure Racing since he was a little kid. Since then he has been on Eco Challenge and is dipping his toe into the waters of Ultra Running with great success. Hunter recently set the FKT on the brutal Benton MacKaye trail. Hear all about this incredible young man with a bright future.

Composed of tough-as-nails athletes over age 60, Team Stray Dogs is a legendary adventure racing squad. “Endurance King” Marshall Ulrich has climbed the Seven Summits, crossed Death Valley a record 30 times on foot, and competed in every Eco-Challenge. Dr. Bob Haugh completed multiple Eco-Challenges, Racing the Planet multi-day ultra runs, and loops at the dreaded Barkley Marathon. Mark “Mace” Macy won the Iditashoe 100-mile snowshoe race a few times and competed in Eco-Challenge from 1995 to 2019. Travis talks with these mentors about Marsh's and Bob's recent Fire and Ice winter trek from Badwater to Mt. Whitney; the team approach to Alzheimer's and life; friendships forged in suffering; memories from adventure around the world; the Alzheimer's Association's The Longest Day project; how they'd like to be remembered; and more.

Welcome to Episode 33 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring elite adventure racer and Team New Zealand Captain, Nathan Fa'avae. Nathan is a legend in the world of adventure racing. He has been a full-time or semi-professional athlete for 18 years, and he is still absolutely crushing it. He has accomplished many impressive athletic feats during this time, including captaining the New Zealand adventure racing team to six World Championship victories. His most recent win was at World's Toughest Race - Eco Challenge Fiji, which my husband and I binged on Amazon Prime when it came out over the summer. If you haven't watched the documentary yet and would like to, skip this episode until you've seen the show, as you will otherwise hear lots of spoilers!Adventure racing, you could argue, is the epitome of endurance sport. Teams are racing for up to a week, engaging in multiple disciplines (trekking, paddling, mountain biking, climbing, white water rafting and more), and do not have much time to sleep or rest. Nutrition is always important to successful sports performance, but the sheer volume and logistics of nutrition in adventure racing puts fueling considerations on a completely different level. I had SO many adventure racing questions  after watching Eco Challenge Fiji, and was inspired to ask Nathan onto my show after listening to Tina Muir's Running for Real podcast featuring him and his teammate Sophie (such a badass mother and athlete!). It was an awesome interview, but they didn't talk about the team's nutrition, so obviously an Athlete Nutrition Profile was in order! I've been enjoying longer, in-depth interviews this season, and this one is no exception. Nathan lives for adventure and the outdoors, and has such an inspiring story to tell. We explored his life and nutrition/athletic background, and he shared plenty of amazing stories and advice from his decades of experience in the sport as well as lots of not-seen-on-camera details from Eco Challenge Fiji. I was craving an adventure as soon as we finished our interview! Also, I want to move to New Zealand. :)THANK YOU Nathan for spending a couple hours with me! I can't wait to see what Team New Zealand gets up to next. More on Nathan Fa'avae: Nathan's Website: https://nathanfaavae.nz Follow on Instagram and FacebookOther Links and Announcements: Watch World's Toughest Race: Eco Challenge FijiTina Muir's Running for Real Podcast  Episode featuring Nathan  Fa'avae and Sophie HartPlease show your support by leaving a rating and/or review on iTunes and/or share with your friends! Music Credit: Joseph McDadeHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

We have all watched the popular series on the Eco-Challenge dubbed "the world's toughest race" and we wanted to talk about what we thought about it. The race has a lot of interesting topics like "how do they manage such a difficult race" or "do they even eat?"https://crossfitreform.com/

At the age of 23, Twin sisters Tashi and Nungshi Malik became Guinness World Record holders as the youngest people (and the first twins) to complete the Explorers Grand Slam (climbing the world's seven highest peaks including Everest and skiing to the North and South Poles).Read the full article on The Outdoor Journal.This year, they pushed their comfort zones further by taking on the World's Toughest Race, the Eco-Challenge in Fiji, as half of team Khukuri Warriors, the first team ever  to represent India, especially their home states of Haryana and Uttarakhand, on the global stage.The race includes a plethora of disciplines, from mountain biking to paddleboarding, many of which the sisters had no previous experience in.Surpassing their own expectations on the 671 km course, the rookies finished the grueling 10-day race course in 36th place amongst seasoned teams. Relying on their mountaineering background, where they honed the ability to push on for hours without stopping, the Malik sisters overcame adversity such as running out of food and water and hypothermic waters and tongue blisters. In this episode of The Outdoor Journal Podcast, Nash and Tash discuss how they overcame their lack of experience in many of the disciplines such as open ocean paddling, their surprise of their rare encounter with eco-challenge host Bear Grylls, their most precious piece of gear and how they improvised on the course, how they became empowered to inspire women from restrictive cultures around the world to dream big.

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.

Jeff Leininger has a love of Expedition and Adventure racing, and he tries to bring aspects of those sports to his Ultra Races. We talk about some of his races including the Across Florida 200, and his experience on the new Amazon Prime show Eco Challenge.

This week's guest is adventure racing legend Mike Kloser, who is one of the top adventure and endurance athletes of all time. Mike is a former mountain bike world champion and multi-time adventure racing world champ as well. Even though he is retired now, he still competes regularly in a number of events and even came back to take part in the new Eco-Challenge race that took place last fall. In the interview, Mike shares stories from throughout his career, tells us how he got started in adventure racing, and provides some insights on his friend Lance Armstrong too. We even discuss his latest venture, Out There Adventure Travel, which organizes cycling, mountain biking, and wellness trips to parts of Europe. This is just a small part of what we chat about, with a guy that both Dave and Kraig know very well. Before we jump into the interview, our intrepid co-hosts get us up to speed on the latest happenings from the world of mountaineering, where it looks like things have mostly come to a standstill thanks to the virus. The guys also discuss a major archaeological find in Mexico that was discovered thanks to the breakthrough technology known as Lidar. Then, they share a couple of dream jobs for the outdoor crowd, including a chance to get paid $1000 to watch a hunting show or $20,000 to hike the Appalachian Trail as the "Chief Hiking Officer"for a brewery.  Finally, they wrap things up in our Gear Segment with both Dave and Kraig sharing their thoughts on the VSSL survival kits. Dave recently got his hands on a VSSL First Aid Kit, while Kraig checks out the VSSL Camp Supplies model. Both come away very impressed with the design, build-quality, and contents of these impressive kits.  Show Notes GearLobo Application — $1000 to watch MeatEater Become the Chief Hiking Officer for Devil's Backbone Brewing Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston (Archaeology book referenced by Kraig)
