On November 6, 2021, Austin paced one of ultrarunning's top competitors and human beings, Kaci Lickteig, during a 100 mile trail race. From mile 49 to mile 72, Austin ran alongside Kaci, in a race where every step took courage and grit. In this episode, Austin recounts the lessons he learned from watching Kaci's amazing performance, and we discuss why it's so important to block out the noise of expectations and meet yourself where you are at right now. Go Get It Challenge: Write down an expectation that either you are putting on yourself or that others are placing on you that is not serving you right now. Once you can identify this, then you can start the process of taking action towards what does serve you. Follow Kaci Lickteig on social media Follow the Go Get It Podcast

Toto je slovenská, teda dabovaná verzia originálnej epizódy v anglickom jazyku 34 - Jason Koop - On coaching, ultrarunning scene and training approach. Nahrávanie tejto epizódy bolo pre nás úplne novým dobrodružstvom. V prvom rade, našim hosťom bol prominentný ultra bežecký tréner Jason Koop. Okrem toho, nahrávali sme samozrejme online na diaľku a v anglickom jazyku. Sme síce s Milošom staré korporátne krysy, zvyknutí na komunikáciu online v anglickom jazyku, ale toto bola stále výzva. Jason Koop pôsobí ako hlavný tréner pre ultra bežcov v CTS - Carmichael Training Systems. Vo svojej bohatej kariére počas takmer 20 rokov spolupracoval s bežcami ako napríklad Kaci Lickteig, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Dakota Jones, a mnohými ďalšími. Sám je aj aktívnym bežcom a na svojom konte má napríklad Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Leadville Trail 100, Tor des Géants, Wasatch 100, Bear 100 a Western States 100. Našinec na slovensku môže poznať jeho prácu prostredníctvom knihy Základy ultramaratonského tréninku: Jak trénovat chytřeji, závodit rychleji a maximalizovat ultramaratonský výkon (z originálu Training Essentials for Ultrarunning: How to Train Smarter, Race Faster, and Maximize Your Ultramarathon Performance). Tí hladnejší po ultra bežeckom obsahu možno poznajú aj jeho zaujímavý podcast KoopCast. Snažili sme sa z Jasona vytiahnuť maximum toho, čo bolo možné v rámci jeden a pol hodiny stihnúť. Rozprávali sme sa o tom, ako to vyzerá na medzinárodnej scéne, ako sa spolupracuje s elitnými ultra bežcami, či uvidíme ultra disciplíny na Olympijských hrách, ako to bude asi vyzerať s dopingom v ultra behu. Kládli sme naše vlastné otázky, ale nechali sme sa niekoľkými inšpirovať aj od našich poslucháčov v rámci prieskumu. S tak fundovaným trénerom by sme mohli v rozhovore zotrvať dlhé a dlhé hodiny. Ale ak vás zaujíma čokoľvek viac, prečítajte si jeho knihu, vypočujte podcast alebo sa staňte zverencom niektorého z trénerov v rámci spoločnosti CTS, kde Jason Koop šéfuje ultra behu. A je úplne jedno, či ste eliťák, zrelý a skúsený bežec, alebo úplný začiatočník.
This episode is special for us in many aspects. First of all, the guest we humbly interviewed was no one else but the elite ultra running coach Jason Koop. Secondly, our first podcast done in English and remotely. Well, we are seasoned corporate rats, used to English and online communication, but hey, this was a challenge of its own. Jason Koop is the head ultrarunning coach for CTS - Carmichael Training Systems, where he specializes in ultramarathon coaching. He is a coach with rich roster of elite ultra runners on the list, be it Kaci Lickteig, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Dakota Jones, and many more, you name them. At the same time, he is an accomplished runner himself, with finishes including Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Leadville Trail 100, Tor des Géants, Wasatch 100, Bear 100 and Western States 100. In Slovakia and Czech Republic, you might be familiar with his training bible titled Základy ultramaratonského tréninku: Jak trénovat chytřeji, závodit rychleji a maximalizovat ultramaratonský výkon (from the original Training Essentials for Ultrarunning: How to Train Smarter, Race Faster, and Maximize Your Ultramarathon Performance). Or, perhaps, you have stumbled over his podcast KoopCast in you apps. We tried to get the most out of the 1 and a half hour talk. How the scene works, how the cooperation with elite athletes look like, whether we will see ultra running disciplines in the Olympics, if more doping cases will pop up. We tried to dig in the topic as well, with some questions form our listeners, and some of our own as well. For sure, we could spend days discussing with Jason, however, should you be hungry for details, grab the book, find the KoopCast in you podcasting app and/or become the athlete training with one of CTS ultrarunning coaches, whether you are a newbie on trails or a seasoned runner with some aspirations.

Coach Jason Koop speaks with Dr. Kaci Lickteig and Dr. Hal Rosenberg on running injuries and how to prevent them. We discuss what the most frustrating types of injuries are and what they wish runners would do to stay healthy. Also, why does racing magically fix injuries?
We're so excited to welcome, Kaci Lickteig, back to the show! We'll chat about her fall at UTMB which pulled her from the race and how she was able to recover to win the Javelina Jundred soon after. She's always such a wonderful guest, this should be fun!
“One of the really cool things about trail and ultrarunning in particular is people go so far into the unknown and I think that, as an element of humanity, doing something where there's a legitimate chance that you're going to utterly fail and get taken off by a helicopter—right, that's going to happen tomorrow, people are going to get flown out by helicopters—the fact that there's a sport that people can participate in that has these neat elements to it, I think it's good for everybody. It's obviously good for me because I'm in the sport, I'm in it professionally and I earn a living doing it, but I just think it's good for society to have those things that can really test you, so I just hope that the sport continues to maintain its edge, attract new people, be viable, and be fun to come out and do these types of events.” Really enjoyed sitting down with a coaching colleague of mine, Jason Koop, for this week's episode of the podcast. Koop is one of the most highly respected and successful coaches in ultrarunning. He's the head ultrarunning coach for Carmichael Training Systems, a company he's been working for since 2001. Koop ran collegiately at Texas A&M and he's coached athletes of all ages and ability levels over the course of his career, including some notable ones such as Western States champion Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Dakota Jones, Stephanie Howe, and others. We caught up a couple weeks ago in Chamonix, France, where we were both supporting athletes during the UTMB festival of races, and a few days before he was about to set off for the Tor des Géants, a 330K trail race through Italy's Aosta Valley. (Ed. note: Koop finished 27th overall in 97 hours and 6 minutes.) We got into a lot of coaching nerdery in this one, including the path Koop has traveled to get where he is today, the importance of education, experience, and observation as it pertains to coaching, how his mentors and colleagues have made him a better coach, balancing volume and intensity in training, how he responds to criticisms of his employer and why he doesn't just start his own coaching company, the growth of the competitive side of ultrarunning in recent years, and much more.

Kia ora Whanau. This week, Eugene and Matt have the pleasure of speaking to Jason Koop, the Director of Coaching for Carmichael Training Systems. Jason is one of the premiere coaches in the ultramaraton world, and has coached many professional athletes to high levels of success within the sport. Koop’s roster has included such names as Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Jen Benna, Larisa Dannis, Dakota Jones, Missy Gosney, Alex Varner, Ford Smith...Gosh, the list goes on. Jason is known for his ability to convey quantitative data into a qualitative framework, which is especially important when working with athletes that may very quickly get into the weeds when the raw data and technical terms are rolled out (Stand up, Matt Rayment). Jason got his start coaching youth in track whilst himself a teen. Jason not only talks the talk, his personal ultrarunning resume includes two top-10 finishes at the Leadville Trail 100 Run and finishes at some of ultrarunning’s most formidable events, including the Western States Endurance Run, the Badwater 135, the Wasatch 100, and the Hardrock 100. Currently Jason is preparing for Tor de Geants, a 330-plus kilometre self-supported race in Italy’s Aosta Valley. In this conversation we discuss Koop’s upcoming TDG attempt, Relative Perceived Effort, The Hierarchy of Needs for Ultramarathon Runners and the joy of running with dogs. We coined the term “Rigby Perceived Effort” and also discuss food, cycling, and why the state of mental grit is as important as cardiovascular health. As well as Jason’s excellent conversation, this episode sees Matt and Eugene excitedly back together behind the mic, wondering, after two weeks of tours and live shows, why there is no applause. We have all the regular goodness, Stuff You Should Know, Greatest Run Ever and Queen Ruth Croft’s continued domination of Europe. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

The cancellation of the North Face championships meant that many of the top athletes who had been aiming to end their season in northern CA wound up journeying east for the venerable JFK 50 mile, the oldest ultramarathon in the country. The smart money was on previous winner Leah Frost (#3 all-time at JFK) or former Western States champ Kaci Lickteig for the women's crown. But when the dust settled, it was Beast Coaster Kate Pallardy who scored a convincing win in 6:40. We welcomed Kate into the Pain Cave to talk about her background as a pro triathlete, training on the mean streets of NYC, how she balances homeschooling (and breastfeeding) her kids with training to run fast marathons and ultras, and how she found her passion in sport and in life.LinksKate's Instagram feedThe country's oldest ultra, the JFK 50Desert Island Picks: Killing the SS by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, Mozart: Overtures on Spotify, Harpoon Camp WannamangoIntro music: "Fine Line" by the BloodlettersOutro music: "When I Was Still Young" by Yard Sale
