What does it mean to be a trail runner in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s—or even your 70s? How do years of pounding dirt, chasing summits, and chasing goals shape our bodies, minds, and identities? Welcome to The Aging Athlete, a new Trail Runner Nation mini-series co-hosted by ultrarunning icon Krissy Moehl. Every 5 to 6 weeks, we'll dive into what it looks like to grow older in this sport we love—exploring how to train smarter, fuel better, recover more intentionally, and stay motivated through the decades. We'll hear from veteran runners, sports scientists, strength coaches, dietitians, and everyday athletes who are navigating the highs and lows of longevity on the trails. From injury recovery to hormonal changes, shifting mindsets to redefined identities, this series is for anyone who's ever wondered: Is this just what aging feels like—or is it the miles I've logged? And more importantly, how do I keep moving forward with strength, wisdom, and joy? We don't have all the answers—but we're here to ask the right questions. Let's age boldly, together.

What makes someone want to run their first ultra? And more importantly—what makes them want to come back for a second? The reality is, most people who sign up for an ultra only do one. But why? And how can we help more runners not just finish, but fall in love with the sport? Tune in for tips on running your first - or even tenth - ultramarathon. In this episode, Buzz and Zoë dig into what it takes to have a meaningful, successful experience at your first ultra, whether you're eyeing a 50K for the first time or looking to refine your approach. They're joined by two powerhouse runners and coaches—Dr. Stephanie Flippin and Krissy Moehl—who have spent years helping athletes navigate the highs, lows, and everything in between when it comes to ultrarunning. What keeps people from coming back after their first ultra? And what can we do to change that? How to transition from roads to trails – Why adjusting your pacing expectations is key, and how to train when access to trails is limited. The best training approach for your first ultra – What really works when it comes to long runs, back-to-backs, and balancing speed with endurance. Mindset shifts that make a difference – From letting go of rigid time goals to understanding why ultras are as much about problem-solving as they are about running. The fueling equation – Why past generations of ultrarunners got this wrong, and how 300+ calories an hour can change your entire race experience. Making ultras more accessible – Stephanie shares what real inclusion looks like in the sport, and why handing someone a race bib isn't enough. Thanks to Our Sponsors!

In this episode, Troy Meadows sits down with Doug Mayer to talk about his new book: The Race That Changed Running The Inside Story of UTMB. Doug is a journalist who has written content for Trail Runner Magazine, Ultra Runner Magazine, and Ultra Sign Up. In his former life Doug was a PRoducer on the NPR show Car Talks. He is also the founder of Run the Alps, a trail running guide service based in Chamonix, France, the place where Doug calls home. His location in France and a cultivated relationship with UTMB founders Catherine and Michel Poletti has given Doug unfettered access to tell the story of UTMB in an unadulterated straight forward way. His own personal experience, 100s of hours of interviews, and contributions from 16 professional athletes including Kilian Jornet, Jim Walmsley, Katie Schide, and Krissy Moehl makes him uniquely positioned to tell this story. We dive deep into the growth of the UTMB event, some of the changes that they have implemented over the years and the difference between the US Ultra Scene and the European one. Including Doug's little race that he directs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire the state were he grew up and his home away from Chamonix. Doug is no slouch either and has completed numerous trail running routes in his home state of Newhampure as well as completing all of the UTMB events as well as the Tor des Géants twice!

She is only the 3rd woman in history to podium finish at both races in the same year. The previous two were Nikki Kimball in 2007 and Krissy Moehl in 2009.

The pair enjoyed great success, culminating in participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Marianne started trail running in 2015 in Boulder, CO in college, and after her commitment to Jessica was fulfilled, as a member of the Salomon team she launched back into trail and ultrarunning and has been burning up the circuit ever since.In this episode we talk about Marianne's challenges with injuries, the things she has experienced and learned as a triathlon guide for someone with vision loss, her Western States and of course her UTMB experiences.

This week's guest on the podcast, Krissy Moehl, is an elite ultramarathoner and coach who has had unique longevity in the sport and is helping her athletes to do the same. Krissy has completed hundreds of challenging races and has more than 50 first place female finishes, along with several overall wins. For both herself and the athletes Krissy coaches, reflection is an important part of the process. Reflection allows us to see where we've been, know how to move forward, and can give us more confidence to reach daunting goals. Training is one piece of the complex and busy lives most of us lead, and training doesn't happen in a vacuum. We often check one box and move onto the next thing, without giving each moment or activity a little bit of quality time for reflection. Krissy and I discuss a wide range of topics, including: Her recent 200 mile adventure with friends on the Arizona Trail How she balances coaching, running, race directing, and settling into her new home What has changed in ultrarunning and training since her first book came out in 2015, and how the new edition reflects that The importance of a training log for runners and coaches alike The most important question you should ask yourself after each run Krissy's upcoming plans and adventures Links & Resources from the Show: Check out the second edition of Krissy's book Follow Krissy on Instagram Learn more about the race Krissy directs, the Chuckanut 50k Watch Krissy's Ted Talk on learning through movement Listen to my previous podcast with Krissy, episode 205 Thank You InsideTracker! This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker, one of the most reputable blood testing companies in the world. They were founded in 2009 by aging, genetics, and biometrics scientists to help you analyze your body's data and get a firm idea of how well you're responding to training. Understanding your body's biomarkers, from stress hormones to testosterone to Vitamin D, can help you figure out if you're over-training, under-training, optimally training, or if you have a health issue that might be affecting your running. But the best part is that they give you personalized optimal ranges for each of these biomarkers and a host of ways to improve these markers through diet, lifestyle, or exercise changes. I've personally gotten three Ultimate tests from them and the process is simple, easy, and very eye-opening if you haven't done a deep dive on your biomarkers yet. Of all the investments you can make in your running, this one is like getting a detailed checkup or regularly scheduled maintenance for your internal physiology. If you're ready to take control of your health and optimize your training, get 25% off any of their blood tests with code STRENGTHRUNNING at InsideTracker. Thank you Spartan Race Series! You've probably heard of Spartan Races - but you probably don't know that they offer such a wide variety of types of races. From short to long-distance obstacle courses - and even ultra distances, to trail races, stadium races, and even city races in major metropolitan areas. What I love about obstacle course races is that they are a great diagnostic tool to help you pinpoint what area of your fitness is lacking. Do you have a general aerobic deficiency? Do you struggle with upper body strength? Can you handle the stop and start nature of OCR's? Do you have the mobility to perform the obstacles? Signing up for a race that challenges you in a different way can help you find out more about yourself as an athlete. Ever since I tried my first obstacle course race in 2012, I've loved these events. They are demanding and require you to be a well-rounded athlete, something that I wholeheartedly endorse here on this podcast. Go to spartan.com to find a local race near you. If you're in Colorado, I hope to see you on June 12th at the Colorado Springs Spartan Race.

Most of us inevitably recruit a team that support our running. This could be a running partner, coach, crew, pacers, etc. One key teammate that you might consider is an Athletic Trainer. Guest co-host, Krissy Moehl, shares her experience with having someone on her team that helps maintain her body through activation, recovery and treatment. Kerry Gustafson is owner of Prime Sports Institute, an athletic training facility providing a team approach to health care in Bellingham, Washington. Kerry explains that athletic trainers are the "point guard" for your care. Traditionally these athletic trainers are found on the sidelines of collegiate or professional sports teams. Now their services are available for the amateur runner! To find an athletic trainer near you, try Go4Ellis.

Badwater 135 mile race is dubbed the world's toughest footrace. It begins at the lowest elevation in the USA (280 feet below sea level) and runs over three mountain ranges in the blistering heat of Death Valley, climbing 14,600' to end at the portal to Mt. Whitney. Some of the greatest ultra runners have run this race. This was Sally McRae's second attempt. In 2018 she finished a personal-disappointing seventh place. This year she won and won big. She joins co-host Krissy Moehl to discuss her training journey, what drove her to the win and how she is recovering.

Krissy Moehl has completed hunderds of ultra races and has over 50 first place finishes in the female category, along with several outright wins. She has won some of the hardest 100 mile courses on the planet, including the Hardrock 100 and the HURT 100 in Hawaii. Krissy is the author of Running Your First Ultra, which many athletes use as their ultimate guide to training. Although she didn't have a manual to follow for her own first ultra, she learned from a supportive community and shares those lessons with the readers. Krissy's longevity in a sport this difficult is something to admire and on the show today, we're talking about what got her hooked on running long races after being an 800m runner in college, how she's evolved and changed her approach to ultras and fueling since she first started, and her best training tips for you. Links & Resources from the Show: Follow Krissy on Instagram and Twitter Learn more from her website SR training plans for advanced runners The UK's Damian Hall on running 250+ miles Thank you Elemental Labs! A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. Elemental Labs' products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. They just released their first new flavor of 2021, their most requested flavor, watermelon salt. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor and get your hydration optimized.

"The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried" - Stephen McCranie This was the quote that began Devon's Instagram post this morning following her 2:42 performance on Sunday at the London Marathon. She fought hard, braved headwinds for the final 6 miles and never gave up on herself. Her warrior efforts did not yield a personal best and she's walking away proud but admittedly hungry for more. She knows that she has more inside of her and she's willing to let it all spill out as she continues to find her highest and best with each performance. Devon is no rookie in this school of life and she has learned so many lessons from not learning the lesson. She is queued into how it all works and knows the universe will continue to line up life situations for her to grow into her most powerful self. Today we get a deep insight into where Devon is now within her journey of life. If you know of or have heard Devon speak before then you know you're in for some good conversation. In this episode, she opens up about embracing her self-worth and the deep work she has been moving through with the guidance from her health coach Sasha. We talk about the pressures and labels that go along with identifying ourselves as a certain type of athlete and how to live in freedom beyond those labels. Devon lives with fierce bravery and there are many moments of gold in this conversation so pay attention, take notes and definitely have a re-listen or two. Devon has run more than 40 Marathons and 40 Ultras since 2006. She is a 3-time member of the USATF 100k National Team. She is the 2007 RRCA Marathon National Champion, 2010 50-mile road National Champion. She is a 2-time Olympic Trials marathoner and has a marathon PR of 2:38:55 which she is in pursuit to break. In 2011 she was the 100k National Champion and also that year she set the FKT on the Grand Canyon R2R2R trail with Krissy Moehl. She's taken 3rd place at the prestigious Two Oceans Marathon (56k) in Cape Town, South Africa and 5th in Comrades Marathon (89k, as well as first novice and first American). At the 2015 Javelina 100 she ran the 3rd fastest trail 100 mile ever for a North American running and also won her way into the 2016 Western States 100 via winning Sean O’Brien 100km. She placed 3rd at Western States in 2016. In 2017, she bounced back from injury (sort of) to place 2nd in the 2017 50km Road National Championship, 10th at the 2017 Comrades and then onto the win at the prestigious Leadville 100 mile trail race on a broken foot. I can go on an on about Devon's accomplishments but the greatest achievements are the ones that she is unearthing from within. We are honored to share this beautiful woman with the YT community, someone who is not afraid to be afraid and someone who will continue to do great things in this life because of her courage.
Workouts are when you stress your body. The rest of the day is when you improve. That's what we call recovery. Not only recovering to be able to do it again (get back to pre-workout capacity) but also adapt and become stronger (a new baseline capacity).

This is the first episode of Coaches’ Corner, a new and ongoing series with several of the top trail running coaches in the world, Krissy Moehl, David Roche, Ian Sharman, and me. Each of these episodes is intended to highlight a specific topic relevant to all trail runners. We start in the form of a T/F statement, get a one-word answer from each coach, and then discuss the nuances that make the real answer less clear. Ultimately, the purpose is to provide you with information that you can apply to your own training. These are also published on our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/ScienceOfUltra The T/F statement for today's episode is: There’s a minimum volume of running required before adding any structured workouts (such as intervals or hills) becomes more useful than simply adding more volume

Meet Devon Yanko. On August 19, 2017 she won the Leadville Trail 100 - a race where 9,200 feet altitude is the lowest you'll experience on the course. She finished in 20:46:29, averaging 12:28 per mile - a half hour ahead of her nearest competitor. With nearly 16,000 feet of elevation change through Colorado's gnarliest mountain terrain, the course is so difficult that in most years, less than half of the field finishes the race. Having run in similar places, I can vouch for how strenuous this terrain can be (even for experienced runners). With precious air at a costly premium, the steep grades and uneven footing make traversing these trails a form of slow-motion torture. Going uphill burns the lungs after just a few steps. Each muscle contraction seems to draw double the amount of oxygen to fuel their movements. Running downhill isn't much better. The rocky terrain is a nightmare for those with weak ankles. Try running fast on a technical downhill trail after running for 3+ hours (in the dark, no less). It's terrifying. To win Leadville is like single-handedly winning the World Series or the Superbowl. Leadville is one of the top ultramarathons in the world. Winning it is a career-defining moment for trail runners. But for Devon, it's just one more race on her long list of achievements: 3 time member of the USATF 100k National Team including 2009 Gold Medal winning team in Belgium 2007 RRCA Marathon National Champion 2010 50 mile road National Champion 2012 Olympic Trials marathoner (PR of 2:38:55) 2011 100k National Champion Set Fastest Known Time on the Grand Canyon R2R2R trail with Krissy Moehl in April 2011 3rd place at the Two Oceans Marathon (56k) 5th in Comrades Marathon (89k, as well as first novice and first American) Ran the 3rd fastest trail 100 miler ever for a North American running 14:52 at the 2015 Javelina 100 Not to be outdone, she's also the owner of M. H. Bread and Butter bakery in San Anselmo, CA with her husband. Strength Running readers will also be familiar with Devon - she joined eight other elite athletes in sharing her best injury prevention and recovery advice for The Little Black Book of Prevention & Recovery (it's free - download it now). You're going to love my conversation with Devon - but not just because she's one of the best long distance runners in the world. She's also hilarious.
