Podcast appearances and mentions of Gary Robbins

Send us a Text Message.In this, the pilot episode, with a strong feeling that it would also be the last, the boys talk about why they took up running, their first race, their last race to show how far they've come in the last 12 years, their best or favourite race and their least favourite shit kicker of a race. We have questions from the legend that is Keith Miller, accompanied by Kyla on the spoons, advice from Gary Robbins, and the Johnny Depp drink-a-long game. What is there not to love?#Trigger warnings (plural)

In The Spell Of The Barkley tells the story of the Barkley race in Tennessee with its history and traditions, how the author discovered it and became determined to finish the “fun run”, and explores the reasons why participants keep coming back despite being almost guaranteed to fail. The book is a mix of the authors experience and stories of the people he met in the ultrarunning world. A few people he talks about in the book are:Frozen Ed; the author of the book Michiel read, and the person who invited him to come watch his first Barkley.Jared Campbell; 3-time Barkley finisher.Gary Robbins; Canadian ultrarunner who missed the cutoff by 6 seconds when completing the Barkley and so doesn't count as a finisher.Gideon; an ultrarunner and friend who crews Michiel through several races which he ended up finishing in part due to the Gideon's help.Michiel Panhuysen is a Journalist and ultrarunner. He is a multiple-time Barkley entrant, having fallen under the spell of this event in the early 2010s when he read Frozen Ed's book Tales From Out There. On each occasion that he entered, the Barkley won, but not because Michiel came unprepared. He ran many grueling races and events including:Tor des Geants; a 330 km race with 24000 m of D+.Petite Trotte a Leon (on 3 seperate occations); a team event that is far from being a little jaunt through the mountains and requires navigation skills.The Legends Trail; a 250 km race through the Ardennes.If you're interested in getting a copy of the book for yourself, you can find it on Amazon:https://a.co/d/hQbSVNB  Support the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

Today on THE ROCK FIGHT (an outdoor podcast that aims for the head) journalist Kyle Frost returns to talk about the big battle that happened in the ultra and trail running community this past fall when UTMB stepped in and usurped local BC running legend and race director Gary Robbins and one of his more popular events, the Whistler Alpine Meadows 100.The kerfuffle creates an interesting question about the growth and future of ultramarathons as bigger entities like UTMB (who have partnered with Ironman) and Vail make moves in a space known for it's grassroots and community based events.Kyle covered this situation in his newsletter and on his website and today he sits down with Colin to dig into it further.Please follow and subscribe to THE ROCK FIGHT and give us a 5 star rating wherever you get your podcasts.Have a question or comment for a future mailbag episode?

#255 - In October, Tsunami-sized waves hit the ultrarunning world when news came out about the Ironman-UTMB takeover of the annual race at Whistler Ski Resort always run by Gary Robbins and Coast Mountain Trail Running. Many people who didn't think much about the partnership now had second thoughts. I give my opinions on the partnership, what lays ahead and what we can do to save our local races this week. Also, in The Final Word, I talk about the running sin of comparing ourselves to our past self. Links for Gary's races can be found on the show's website. Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

In this episode John Kelly and Damian Hall join James to discuss Tor Des Geants, the Barkley Marathons, the 2020-21 Record/ FKT season and the UTMB/ Ironman debacle around WAM, Gary Robbins & Coast Mountain Trails, taking a look at where the sport is headed.

Voici le 20e épisode de la 2e saison de La Bande à D+ animé par Nicolas Fréret avec:

Épisode bonus de la semaine! En compagnie de Samuel Ouellette, directeur administratif du Pôle sports HEC Montréal et chargé de cours à l'Université de Sherbrooke, on discute de la récente arrivée de l'UTMB World Series au Canada. En février dernier, on apprenait l'annulation de la Whistler Alpine Meadows en Colombie-Britannique, une course organisée par Coast Mountain Trail Running, une entreprise locale menée par le célèbre coureur Gary Robbins. La multinationale Vail, propriétaire de la station Whistler Blackcomb, ne leur permettait pas de revenir sur leur territoire pour la 8e édition de leur course, stipulant un « enjeu de sécurité » qu'ils ne comprenaient pas. Huit mois plus tard, l'UTMB World Series annonçait l'arrivée de l'Ultra Trail Whistler sur le territoire de Whistler Blackcomb. Coïncidence malheureuse? Opportunité saisie? Mauvaise foi? Entente malhonnête? Beaucoup de questions, peu de réponses. Samuel et moi tentons d'analyser la situation, en s'appuyant sur les faits. Bonne écoute!Pour entendre l'épisode 57 dans lequel Samuel et moi analysions la récente annonce de l'UTMB World Series en 2021, c'est par ici : https://passortidubois.buzzsprout.com/1298839/9224271-episode-57-samuel-ouellette-le-trail-running-sous-la-loupe-d-un-expertCréditsDesign graphique : David HébertThème musical : Frédérick DesrochesIdée originale, production, recherche et animation : Yannick Vézina© Pas sorti du bois 2023

Gary Robbins hat in den letzten Wochen mit seinem Post über den Wisthler Ultra by UTMB für große Aufregung gesorgt. Hört rein was wir denken!

On this episode of the podcast myself and Ben Wells Runs Fells speak to Kate Allen from the RunUltra website.Last week I wrote an article for the website discussing the current controversy surrounding the UTMB/Iron Man situation in Whistler.We have an unbiased conversation about who could be to blame (if anyone even is) and how the trail running community around the world have reacted to the announcement of their new race in British Columbia.We talk about the ethics of the decision to put the race on the same weekend that Gary Robbins and his Coast mountain trail running  normally have their own WAM races.We chat about if it's intentional, or just bad timing. Have a listen and decide for yourself.Kate also tells about the new inov8 store that's opened up in Bakewell, serving the needs of trail runners in the Peak District.We also have the usual catch up about injury and the Spine race, so for those of you who play, get your Spine Bingo cards out! URS

Gary Robbins is a longtime beloved athlete, coach, and race director based in Chilliwack, BC. Last Thursday, UTMB and IRONMAN announced a new race in Whistler – an action that's been interpreted by many in the community as a hostile takeover of Gary's former independent race, Whistler Alpine Meadows (WAM). We talk about how he learned about the news, the circumstances that led to the cancellation of WAM, the community response, and the path forward.   COAST MTN TRAIL RUNNING   Sponsors: Use code freetrail10 for 10% off Speedland Footwear Use code freetrail15 for 15% off Gnarly Nutrition Get 30% off your first subscription of Ketone IQ at HVMN.com/FREETRAIL30 Use code freetrail15 for 15% off Roark Apparel Freetrail Links: Website | Freetrail Pro | Patreon | Instagram | YouTube | Freetrail Experts   Dylan Links: Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | Strava   ________________________   Other Freetrail podcast episodes you might enjoy:   Kilian Jornet | The New NNormal   Tim Tollefson | The Infinite Game   Clare Gallagher | Black Canyon 100k Champion   Jim Walmsley | Engagement, Moving to Europe, Western States, and UTMB

#250 - It's all about the New York City Marathon this week! How it started, the route, just how difficult it is to gain an entry; everything you want to know! The first weekend of November hails one of the greatest marathons in the world and it's time we pay it tribute. Also, don't go away afterwards, because I talk about a terrible event that should not have happened in the ultrarunning community involving Gary Robbins and UTMB.

Die Trailrunningszene ist in Aufruhr. Einem neuen UTMB-Event wird mit Boykott gedroht. Was hat es damit auf sich? Welche Normen der sogenannten Trailkultur wurden hier verletzt? Was hat das Ganze mit der Soziologie von Steffen Mau zu tun? Wir versuchen den Konflikt zu erklären und einzuordnen. Darüber hinaus sprechen wir über künftige Wettkämpfe, neue Lauffilme, Beinbehaarung und den Frankfurt Marathon.

Alexandre est un athlète super compétitif, plus particulièrement sur les disciplines de km vertical. Habitant dans l'ouest canadien maintenant depuis quelques années, il a la chance d'avoir un terrain de jeu optimal. On parle de ce qui l'a amené dans l'ouest canadien, ses débuts dans la course à pied, ses compétitions de cross country.On parle de ses expériences comme coach:Maintenant il oeuvre au côté de Gary Robbins comme mentor chez Ridgeline Athletics. On parle de ses participations aux Championnats du monde vertical.De ses préparations pour ce type d'évènement!Prendre note que l'épisode a été enregistré quelques semaines avant sa victoire au championnat vertical nord américain!Bonne écoute! 

“Every single person, start to finish, is treated like they won the race, like they've been the most important person there. That's a part of our DNA. Making sure that every single person that comes across the finish line feels celebrated.”Coast Mountain Trail Running is a finely tuned machine at this point. The group has been putting on events in British Columbia for quite some time, and they've got it down as well as a participant could hope for. Gary Robbins and Geoff Langford are the two Race Directors for CMTR, and on top of their love for trail running events, they also have a passion for multisport events. That's how they came up with Conquer the Vedder, the SUP, gravel bike, and trail run event coming to Cultus Lake May 27-28. This will be the second year for the event, and 2 years is about how long a race takes to put together, from concept to race day. “That's always a two-year window and that's what I say to anybody who reaches out asking about the event side of things. Your best-case scenario is 18 months and that would need some luck and some connections. But you need to give yourself a 2 year window to bring something to life because the permit process and everything that goes along with it, and especially coming to a new community, a lot of relationships need to be established and a lot of new stakeholders need to be identified and connected with.”Gary was great to chat with and it was fun to learn a bit more about how this event came together. I've always loved the events that CMTR puts on and so I was thrilled to be able to chat on the podcast and have Conquer the Vedder as a sponsor for the Vancouver screening of the Trail Running Film Festival!

Please support the podcast by taking our short listener survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/intotheimpossible For that last four years of his life, Freeman Dyson would spend winters in La Jolla, and work alongside physicists at UC San Diego (as well as the super-secret scientific advisory group known as the JASONS). This video was from my last conversation with Freeman at UC San Diego in 2018. Freeman Dyson was Professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study. Mathematician, physicist, philosopher and iconoclast Freeman Dyson was one of the most influential, far-reaching and unconstrained minds of our age. His explorations -- ranging from fusion power to star-encapsulating energy collectors called 'Dyson Spheres' -- stimulated thinkers around the globe. Boldly speculating ahead trillions of years, Dyson has been called the top theologian of the 20th century. Always unabashed, he has raised controversy from all ends of the political spectrum with unusual ideas about climate change. Dyson came to Cornell University as a graduate student in 1947 and worked with Hans Bethe and Richard Feynman, producing a user-friendly way to calculate the behavior of atoms and radiation. Though he never formally received his PhD, Dyson's work was incredibly influential and diverse. He worked on fields ranging from nuclear reactors, to solid-state physics, to ferromagnetism, astrophysics, and biology, looking for situations where elegant mathematics could be usefully applied. Dyson's books include Disturbing the Universe, Origins of Life, The Scientist as Rebel, and most recently. Dyson was a fellow of the American Physical Society, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a fellow of the Royal Society of London. In 2000, he was awarded the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Topics include Freeman's final book, Maker of Patterns: A Life in Letters:: https://amzn.to/3auNIbG , science and religion, and the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). In 2019 Freeman and Greg Benford (UCSD PhD 1967) had a conversation, moderated by me and hosted at UCSD about the deep future of humanity. Find that video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riPDQ3VJBCI Lastly, please see here for a nice retrospective on Freeman by San Diego Union-Tribune reporter, Gary Robbins: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/science/story/2020-02-28/remembering-famed-physicist-freeman-dyson-and-his-la-jolla-years Connect with Professor Keating:

San Diego and California in general have been pummeled with rain recently. How long will it continue and what does this mean for the drought? U-T reporter Gary Robbins has more.

Hey Friends,We are soo excited to share this week's conversation. We caught up with the one and only Gary Robbins. Gary is an incredible endurance athlete, who has run many of the world's top trail races, and notably for many, he was a three time participant in the infamous Barkley Marathon. Gary is also the race director and co-founder of Coast Mountain Trail Running, which hosts some of the best trail races in BC. In addition to being an incredible athlete, race director, and content creator Gary is a family man, and a person who is passionate about creating community through running. And as we found out, he is one hell of a story teller! In this conversation we talk about how Gary got into running, and endurance athletics, we hear about many of his adventures, and mis-adventures, lessons learned along the way, and life beyond running. This was truly like a campfire storytelling session that we were absolutely leaning in for! We know you're going to love this one!Peace, Z&DEpisode Resources:Gary Robbins: Instagram / Strava / Facebook Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeannine is such an inspirational and relatable athlete that I had to share her story with you guys. Our podcast ended up being over an hour because she's that easy to talk to--whether it is about shenanigans on the trails, or serious talk about how to tackle the next Gary Robbins race. Jeannine is definitely a huge part of our local run community and it's no big surprise. From sharing her trials and tribulations to tips on the internet, Jeannine is so engaging! As some of you might know, Jeannine just tackled the Squamish 50k for the second time, and things did not end the way she had planned. Listen to hear more about her running journey, and what motivated this lady to go from couch to 3k to ultra! If you want to connect with Jeannine, you can find her on https://www.instagram.com/jeannineavelino/ Cover photo credit: Simon Richards (also a past guest!)

Whether you are challenging for the top spot or finding the cutoffs a challenge, cursing Gary Robbins during one of his events is a rite of passage. So you will have to guess if that’s Jeannine Avelino’s quote (finished 2019 Squamish 50k with less than 4 minutes to spare) or Jeanelle Hazlett who said it (won the 50 mile in 2019 and finished 2nd in the 50 k in 2018). Of course only one of them said it, but it almost doesn’t matter who it was, does it?!Jeannine has plenty of experience on these trails and has simplified the race in order to tackle it.“I'm treating it as three main climbs, which is Galactic, the Climb Trail, and the Mountain of Phlegm, which, after looking at the elevation gain, it's really nothing compared to the other two. But at 40 km in, it feels like twice, three times that. It's also pretty technical. A good mix of technical and runnable trails. It's pretty fun.“ Jeannine’s “Everything but Weddings”. Jeannine on “Chasing Cutoffs” podcast.Jeanelle is coaching Jeannine and will be following her closely as she tackles the course. Jeanelle is not running herself this year but has some pretty vivid memories of how tough this course can be.“It can be hot. It's relentless. There are lots of roller coaster elements to this course. I'll never forget running and the feeling like my feet were going to blow up leaving Far Side because it's just so up and down that by the end of it, everything is smashed.”Work with Jeanelle at Ridgeline Athletics.Spotify: Click HereGoogle Podcasts: Click HereApple Podcasts: Click HereYoutube: Click HereMusic by Skilsel from PixabaySquamish is a tough course and so much fun with the atmosphere that Coast Mountain creates. Coaches can help you prepare for these kinds of tough weekends. Jeanelle is an awesome runner and coach, and she was on the podcast to talk about coaching for Ridgeline Athletics previously:Jeannine is a good friend of mine and has provided the newsletter with her input several times, including her trail running tips for trail runners:Best of luck to all those running Squamish this weekend! It holds a special place in my heart after I finished the 50/50 in 2021.

Alexis Berg est un photographe et cinéaste français qui se spécialise en ultra-trail, couvrant les plus grands événements du monde depuis près d'une décennie. Armé de sa caméra, il capture des moments uniques, il raconte des histoires touchantes et il met en lumière ce qu'il y a de plus sombre et d'exceptionnel dans notre sport. Ensemble, on jase de son parcours et de ce qui l'a amené à tomber en amour avec la course en montagne lors d'un voyage à l'Île de la Réunion. De l'Ultra-trail du Mont-Blanc à la Hardrock 100, en passant par l'Ultra-trail Harricana et le Barkley Marathons, Alexis nourrit son désir de partager des histoires et sa quête de beauté en photographiant les meilleurs athlètes du monde. En 2017, il était au Tennessee pour la Barkley Marathons dans une édition historique qui a vu le dernier finisher à ce jour (John Kelly), ainsi que l'athlète ayant passé le plus près de terminer l'infâme parcours (Gary Robbins, à 6 secondes de la barrière horaire). Depuis, il y est retourné pour chaque édition, prenant part à cette course qu'il définit de « pièce de théâtre ». En 2021, son compatriote Aurélien Delfosse et lui ont fait paraître le livre Les Finisseurs, qui retrace le parcours des 15 hommes à avoir réussi à terminer la Barkley au cours de ses quatre décennies d'existence. Tout juste revenu de l'édition 2022 qui s'est tenue en mars dernier, Alexis est venu me raconter son expérience dans le Frozen Head State Park.

For the fifth year in a row, no one could best the infamously rugged course in trail's quirkiest event.For the fifth year in a row, there were no finishers at the infamous Barkley Marathons. An incredibly deep field was lined up to face the beast. This included a mix of Barkley veterans like Courtney Dauwalter, and 2017 and 15th-person ever Barkley finisher John Kelly and strong Barkley virgins like Big's Backyard record holder Harvey Lewis, 2017 Big's champion Guillaume Calmettes, and Appalachian Trail FKT holder and Belgian dentist Karel Sabbe.   Other runners like Amelia Boone, Gary Robbins, and Johan Steene were originally slated for the 2022 race, but dropped out due to injuries, moving on, and testing positive at the airport, respectively.  The 2022 edition was particularly heavy on international runners after the cancellation of the 2020 edition and pandemic-related travel restrictions for the 2021 race.   For the 2022 race, Barkley creator Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell threw one of the biggest curveballs in race history, holding the event three weeks ahead of when it normally runs around April 1. Additionally, he held the race in the middle of the week with the race starting on Tuesday, March 8.   There were concerns that the earlier time slot could create more difficult weather challenges, but when the conch was blown at 5:54 a.m. on Tuesday, relatively average Barkley conditions awaited. The race started cold but warmed up a lot during the day. Runners seemed to favor this, with a total of 30 out of 38 runners completing the first loop and starting a second. This was a Barkley record.   However, when night fell on day one, so did freezing rain. This was reminiscent of the 2019 race when rain took out most of the field overnight.   As a result, only five were able to start a Fun Run loop, which is three loops. This group included Sabbe, Kelly, British runner Jasmin Paris, New Zealander Greig Hamilton, and Danish runner Thomas Dunkerbeck. Paris is the first woman in a decade to complete a Fun Run.   Of these five, Sabbe, Kelly, and Hamilton were able to finish three loops with time to start the fourth loop. Sabbe came in first from loop three in 32:21:49 and left just under 20 minutes later. Hamilton returned to camp in 34:20:39 and left for loop four with daylight 34 minutes later.     Chris Froome says data has made pro cycling more competitive and more dangerous Chris Froome believes the depth and breadth of data in professional cycling has raised the bar in terms of the overall standard of performance but also made the sport more dangerous.   The four-time Tour de France winner started his career back in 2008 and is now in his 15th season as a professional. In that time, he says the sport has changed beyond recognition.   "Across the board we've seen a huge raise of the bar in terms of the general level of performance in professional cycling," Froome said in a sponsor video for Quad Lock.   The main driver of that change has been, according to Froome, the rise of power meters, which measure the force being pushed through the pedals and can help riders judge their efforts. Whereas riders in the past may have raced or trained on feel, Froome noted that performances are now more dictated by numbers.   Froome himself was known in his pomp for carefully measuring his efforts and not being afraid to drop briefly rather than risk going into the red, but he claimed that even in the last few years, the advances in power and other performance-related data have changed the game for professional cyclists generally.   "There are quite a few different technologies that have played a massive part in shaping the sport in this last 10 to 15 years. First and foremost, the amount of data available through power meters and the collection and correlation of all that data means that performances now are lot more guided," Froome said.   "In the past, power meters been a round for a while but no one really understood how to train with them or what the data really meant. Now we've just got so much data, from the guys who are winning the biggest races in the world, and that data helps forms the basis of all the training plans and all the preparations that lead to racing.   “Everyone has structured training now. Very seldom do you come across someone who just gets on their bike and rides. Everyone's got a plan, a coach, a structure to follow, which has been a big change compared to 15 years a go.”   Dangers As well as making the sport more competitive, Froome also pointed out a drawback to the datafication of professional cycling. Having recently held forth on safety issues relating to time trial bikes and gravel roads, the 36-year-old suggested that new technology is making the sport more dangerous.   Froome referred chiefly to modern mapping technology in making the point that every rider knows exactly what to expect from the route of any given race. Directors can study race roads in minute detail, and they feed that information to the riders in real time.   "We've just got this abundance of data coming through to us about conditions for the road coming up, so everyone knows what to expect and you get this huge fight for position," Froome said.   "It's mental. Someone says to you, ‘right guys, you're going through this really narrow dangerous little village coming up, the road's really tiny and there's small bridge with a corner straight after', and we actually go faster, because you want to be the ones to get there first. If you're at the back, you're going to be stuck in this backlog trying to get through the pinch point. It's probably the only sport where someone tells you there's danger up ahead and the pace lifts. It's mental.   “I think racing has, as a result of that, become more dangerous. Through having more data it's basically made the race more dangerous. Previously we wouldn't have known necessarily that each pinch point was there and there wouldn't have been this massive scurry for position. We'd have just got there and all been more relaxed and got through it with no issues. But that's changed quite a bit.”   Froome has yet to race in 2022 after suffering a knee injury over the winter, but is back in full training and expecting to make his season debut this month.     What's New in the 303:   Long, Knibb, Snyder, McDowell–Coloradan's Named Triathletes of the Year Olympic and Paralympic Medalists Headline 2021 Elite Triathletes and Elite Paratriathletes of the YearUsa COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – USA Triathlon announced its 2021 Elite, Under-23, Rookie and Junior Triathletes of the Year, as well as its Elite Paratriathletes and Paratriathlon Development Athletes of the Year, both presented by Wahoo Fitness.   Katie Zaferes (Cary, N.C.) was named the Women's Olympic/World Triathlon Triathlete of the Year for the fourth time, and Kevin McDowell (Colorado Springs, Colo.) earned his first-ever Men's Olympic/World Triathlon Triathlete of the Year honors. Kendall Gretsch (Downers Grove, Ill.) and Brad Snyder (Baltimore, Md.), along with his guide Greg Billington (Poway, Calif.), were named 2021 Elite Paratriathletes of the Year   Zaferes, 32, won bronze at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, becoming the third U.S. woman to win an Olympic medal, joining Gwen Jorgensen (gold, 2016 Rio) and Susan Williams (bronze, 2004 Athens). Zaferes then led off Team USA as the first leg in the Olympic debut of the Mixed Relay event, helping the team earn silver, and her second Olympic medal in Tokyo.   Zaferes capped her season on the draft-legal World Triathlon Championship Series circuit by placing fourth at the World Triathlon Championship Finals. She also finished third overall in the Super League Triathlon Championship Series.   “I am very honored to receive this award considering how many of the USA women had great achievements last year,” Zaferes said. “It's extra special for me because this year was so challenging. I'm proud of being able to regroup and refocus with the assistance of the team of people that surrounds me in order to achieve one of my biggest goals, which was to win a medal at the Olympics.”   McDowell, 29, made his Olympic debut in Tokyo and showed his Mixed Relay prowess as Team USA's second leg in the race that features four athletes (two male, two female) who each complete a super-sprint triathlon in the order of female-male-female-male. He recorded the fastest split of the U.S. team that earned the silver medal. In the men's individual race, McDowell placed sixth, the highest-ever finish for a U.S. male triathlete at the Olympic Games.   “It's a huge honor to receive this award after so many great performances on the U.S. men's side, which has been really exciting. This wouldn't have been possible without the entire team behind me, my family, coach Nate Wilson, physio/medical, friends, community, and USA Triathlon,” McDowell said. “It truly takes a village to do what we do and perform at the highest level. I'm thankful for the one I've got.”   Video of the Week   CLASH Endurance Miami 2022: Finish Line Interviews       Upcoming Guests   3/25: A'nna Sewall of Athlete Blood Test and Jordan Jones of Powder7 Andy Potts and Daniel Brienza of APRacing Chris Schwenk about cycling and Zwift and his intimate knowledge of it and I think it would fun to share his love of indoor cycling, but also outdoors and his upcoming trip across the US.   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

For the fifth year in a row, no one could best the infamously rugged course in trail's quirkiest event.For the fifth year in a row, there were no finishers at the infamous Barkley Marathons. An incredibly deep field was lined up to face the beast. This included a mix of Barkley veterans like Courtney Dauwalter, and 2017 and 15th-person ever Barkley finisher John Kelly and strong Barkley virgins like Big's Backyard record holder Harvey Lewis, 2017 Big's champion Guillaume Calmettes, and Appalachian Trail FKT holder and Belgian dentist Karel Sabbe.   Other runners like Amelia Boone, Gary Robbins, and Johan Steene were originally slated for the 2022 race, but dropped out due to injuries, moving on, and testing positive at the airport, respectively.  The 2022 edition was particularly heavy on international runners after the cancellation of the 2020 edition and pandemic-related travel restrictions for the 2021 race.   For the 2022 race, Barkley creator Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell threw one of the biggest curveballs in race history, holding the event three weeks ahead of when it normally runs around April 1. Additionally, he held the race in the middle of the week with the race starting on Tuesday, March 8.   There were concerns that the earlier time slot could create more difficult weather challenges, but when the conch was blown at 5:54 a.m. on Tuesday, relatively average Barkley conditions awaited. The race started cold but warmed up a lot during the day. Runners seemed to favor this, with a total of 30 out of 38 runners completing the first loop and starting a second. This was a Barkley record.   However, when night fell on day one, so did freezing rain. This was reminiscent of the 2019 race when rain took out most of the field overnight.   As a result, only five were able to start a Fun Run loop, which is three loops. This group included Sabbe, Kelly, British runner Jasmin Paris, New Zealander Greig Hamilton, and Danish runner Thomas Dunkerbeck. Paris is the first woman in a decade to complete a Fun Run.   Of these five, Sabbe, Kelly, and Hamilton were able to finish three loops with time to start the fourth loop. Sabbe came in first from loop three in 32:21:49 and left just under 20 minutes later. Hamilton returned to camp in 34:20:39 and left for loop four with daylight 34 minutes later.     Chris Froome says data has made pro cycling more competitive and more dangerous Chris Froome believes the depth and breadth of data in professional cycling has raised the bar in terms of the overall standard of performance but also made the sport more dangerous.   The four-time Tour de France winner started his career back in 2008 and is now in his 15th season as a professional.

An intense electrical storm lit up San Diego on Monday. U-T reporter Gary Robbins surveys the damage and shares a forecast.

In 2014, two friends came together to solve a problem in the sports nutrition market. Matt Smith and Patrick Stark, both passionate about sports and nutrition, recognized the market lacked real natural fuelling options that not only tasted great, but contained real food; that's when Endurance Tap was born. To start, Matt and Pat didn't have to look any further than Canada's number one export, maple syrup, and after months of experimenting with different ingredients, settled on just two more simple ingredients; ginger and sea salt. The combination of these three simple ingredients not only resulted in an all natural source of fuel for endurance athletes, they're easy to consume, are easy on the stomach, and ensure athletes avoid sugar spikes. In this episode, we'll learn more about the genesis of Endurance Tap and all the great work Matt and Pat, together with the Global Endurance Tap Changemakers like Gary Robbins, Kim McMullen, Jacob Puzey, and others are doing to combine their passion for endurance sports with their personal passion for organizations that better the planet and their communities.

The Barkley Marathons is one the hardest races in the ultrarunning world. Created by founder Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell, the race provides one of the most grueling ultramarathons ever created. The Barkley Marathons has gained in popularity over the past few years, mostly because of new documentaries and stories that take you inside the race weekend. One of the most popular is The Race That Eats Its Young, which came out in 2014. Another new film, titled Where Dreams Go to Die, documents the two-year stretch where ultrarunner Gary Robbins attempted to complete all five loops. You can view it on YouTube now. #AND3RSON #HeartFailureSurvivor #EnduranceAthlete In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John's Burger and couldn't walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life. The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure.

If you look at a map of San Diego, the Rose Canyon earthquake fault basically runs down Interstate 5 from La Jolla to downtown San Diego. Scientists are now saying the fault is larger and more active than we once thought. Gary Robbins explains. Plus, opinion editor Laura Castañeda reflects on one year of life and death during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the age of 12 years old when Gary Robbins was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he told his Mom ‘I want to travel the world'. Now as a world-renowned ultra runner, determined to claim the title as Canada's first ever Barkley Marathons finisher, you may be shocked to find out it took dropping out of university, moving to Banff with $500 in his pocket, taking up the life of drinking and skiing, and many more entertaining steps along the way to become the man we now know who is deeply respected and loved by so many.Fresh off the announcement of how it felt for Gary to share the news of his Barkley Marathons 2021 decision, this episode explores silver linings the pandemic has uncovered for him in all areas from being a devoted husband to his wife, father to his son, champion in his community, coach of Ridgeline Athletics, and race director of Coast Mountain Trail Series.Highlights include:What jobs Gary had before he started running professionally. Get ready to be surprised!Gary's journey thus far in the Barkley Marathons, and why John Kelly is an important name to know as his journey continues. Why it's important to eliminate the word ‘just'.What Gary's response was to an injury diagnosis that stated ‘your age is a contributor, and it's time to move on from ultra running”.What Gary's nutrition is like to train and conquer 100+ mile races with 60,000 feet of elevation. Who inspires Gary to keep chasing new heights and distances.Potential new races coming our way to take part in as a community. Gary's perspective on a coach having a coach. His favourite part about becoming a Dad. His new film "The Big Chill" with nearly a quarter of a million views (free via YouTube, and shot entirely on-the-go by close friend Jeff Pelletier).We talk about the difference of training for 200km races versus a 10km time trial, and what it took to get under 35 minutes as a new personal best. Links mentioned:Gary Robbins' YouTube, Instagram, Twitter channelsWhere Dreams Go To DieRob Watson I won't spoil any more...this is worth every second of listening to on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Podcast Addict, and Stitcher. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review!

Thursday afternoon, a $3 billion NASA rover called Perseverance will attempt to land on the Red Planet. Gary Robbins explains. Plus, Andrew Kleske shares reader reactions to the Senate acquittal of former President Donald Trump.

The richly luminous planets Saturn and Jupiter will be so close in the sky on Monday night they'll appear to meld together with a starkness that has not been widely seen on Earth since the 13th century.The paths the planets follow around the sun will bring them into rough alignment shortly after the sun sets in the southwest, creating what astronomers call a “grand conjunction.”

Ten years ago, Lisa Sweetman had an MRI following a year of ill health and no clear answers to explain why. It was then that doctors identified a tumor in Lisa’s pituitary gland. On December 6th, 2010 Lisa underwent brain surgery to remove the tumor in what Lisa describes as a difficult, eventful surgery. Lisa would then spend the next ten days in the hospital recovering. Lisa considers her life after surgery as a bonus life and has lived the past ten years as if she was reborn. Lisa ran her first marathon in 2016, saying she would never run the distance again and shortly after traded her road shoes for trail shoes. In 2017, Lisa attended the screening of “Where Dreams Go to Die,” a film documenting Gary Robbin’s multiple attempts to complete the Barkley Marathons. It was then that Lisa decided she would attempt her first ultramarathon and what better race to do it than the Squamish 50, where Gary Robbins himself is the race director. We’ll discuss Lisa’s decision to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of her surgery by running 100 kilometers through the streets of Toronto! We’ll also discuss logistics and what the experience meant to her. We hope you find Lisa’s story as incredibly inspiring as we do!

The bad old days — and nights — of rotating power outages in California are back for the first time in nearly 20 years. And they could be back in a big way for the next few days.But unlike 2001 when market manipulation from rogue entities like Enron were at the root of rolling blackouts, grid operators blame these outages on a combination of reasons that include finding sources to back up energy sources that compose the current grid in the state and a heatwave that not only affected all of California but its neighboring states as well.“We are scouring every corner of our world to find additional load reductions and generation,” said Steve Berberich, the CEO of the California Independent System Operator, known as CAISO for short. The scale of the outages statewide could be in the millions, Berberich acknowledged.Read more: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/energy-green/story/2020-08-17/california-experiences-first-rotating-power-outages-in-19-years-what-happened****The San Diego Festival of Books is right around the corner.

With help from Green Man Ultra Winter 2020 women's winner Ellie Bates and the man, the beard, the legend that is Gary Robbins, we look at how a midpacker can become a better runner.

Scientists are carefully monitoring a swarm of small earthquakes that erupted on Monday in the Salton Sea below the southern tip of the dangerous San Andreas fault.They are concerned about the possibility that the swarm could trigger a larger event, a phenomenon that has occurred in that region in the past.Scientists said Monday afternoon that there's a less than 1 percent chance that the swarm will produce a 6.0 or larger quake within the next month. But the location of the swarm is worrisome due to its closeness to the San Andreas.

Throughout the entire pandemic, there was optimism that things would go back to normal in the fallWith the fall semester weeks away for colleges and universities, it's clear that things aren't normal. While schools elsewhere have decided to risk in-person instruction: California hasn'tHere's what the fall 2020 semester will look like.

Joseph Bonasia and Gary Robbins have a unique approach to protecting our environment: they are working to secure legal rights for rivers and other bodies of water in Florida.  Securing the “rights of nature” would give citizens and municipalities the authority to sue polluters on behalf of natural resources and the people who share them.

A proposal to strip professors of their emeritus status if they do anything to harm the reputation of San Diego State University is causing a backlash among faculty who say the policy would suppress free speech and stoke the “cancel culture” movement sweeping the country.This is the second major free speech controversy to roil the campus since last winter, and the new policy raises the possibility that a professor could be penalized for comments that he or she made in the past.The proposal says that SDSU's president, on the advice of the University Senate, would have the right to revoke a professor's emeritus status based on conduct that occurred before or after they were granted the honorary title. Such conduct would have to harm the university's reputation. The committee did not specify what that means.

She doesn't think of herself as a risk-taker. But April Simpkins of San Diego says she's willing to help test a COVID-19 vaccine by allowing herself to be directly exposed to the novel coronavirus, which has killed more than 130,000 people nationally since February.“I'm young and healthy and don't see that much danger,” said Simpkins, 29. “The coronavirus has really been surging lately and a trial like this could help develop a vaccine sooner.”Simpkins is one of 30,000 people globally — and about 100 in San Diego — who have volunteered to participate in a controversial type of medical study known as a human challenge trial, or HCT, if such a trial gains federal approval.
