Tonight, The Untold Radio Network's Real American Monsters is back in control at 8 PM EST, and you do not want to miss it! We're thrilled to welcome Dennis Pfhol to the podcast for what promises to be an electrifying discussion about the Bigfoot phenomenon.Dennis isn't just an armchair enthusiast; he's lived a life steeped in the American West's great outdoors, camping, hiking, and fishing since childhood. But it was a harrowing experience in 1999 while camping with his family near Leadville, Colorado, that forever changed his path, thrusting him and his wife Shannon into the heart of Bigfoot research.Since then, Dennis and Shannon have dedicated years to exploring active Bigfoot territories, not only in their home state of Colorado but also venturing into California, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Oklahoma, and Texas, encountering intriguing events at every turn.His deep dive into the mystery led him to join the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) in 2004 after attending an expedition in Mescalero, New Mexico, quickly becoming a Colorado investigator for the organization.But perhaps most notably, from 2005 to 2010, Dennis was a crucial part of the Erickson Project, also known as the Ohio River Valley research location in Northern Kentucky. He spent five years collaborating with Adrian Erickson, the project's organizer and funder, on a private endeavor to gather more evidence and advance our understanding of these enigmatic creatures. This rural, heavily wooded location appeared to be home to a small group—perhaps a family—of Bigfoot, a finding further corroborated by local eyewitnesses.Tune in tonight at 8 PM EST for an unforgettable journey into the world of Bigfoot with Dennis Pfhol on Real American Monsters!

With six mountain bike world championships, a Leadville win, six World Cups, and six Cape Epic victories under her belt, Annika Langvad is one of the most decorated off road cyclists of all time. But shortly after yet another career triumph in 2019 when she pivoted to road racing and placed second at the Strade Bianche, she decided it was time to retire from racing. She began working as a dentist, but after the birth of her daughter 10 months ago, she realised that she was ready to jump back into competitive cycling, this time to gravel. Payson sat down with Annika a few days before she competed in her first Unbound to talk about why she decided to quit racing, why her daughter's birth made her want to come back, and why she chose gravel. She also talks about the challenges of undergoing IVF treatment, saying that it was more difficult than anything she's ever endured on the bike. Check out the Osprey Escapist™ Velocity 3 hydration pack and early access to Crossings: New Zealand.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Send us a textWhen Noah Williams crossed the finish line at Broken Arrow 46K in fourth place, beating dozens of elite international competitors, he knew something special had happened. "I felt almost out of body," he shares, describing that rare state where everything clicks perfectly into place. Just one week later, he stood on the podium at Italy's prestigious Lavaredo 80K.This conversation takes us deep into the mind of one of America's most exciting mountain runners. From his Vermont roots to his current home in the thin air of Leadville, Colorado, Noah reveals how his winter as a ski patroller and dedicated skimo athlete built the foundation for his breakthrough performances. With remarkable candor, he explains how accumulating 20,000 feet of weekly vertical gain on skis translated directly into running power once the snow melted.Noah offers a refreshing perspective on training philosophy, eschewing rigid workout structures for mountain-based efforts that keep him mentally engaged. "I try to focus on what really motivates me – interesting terrain and big climbs," he explains. This intuitive approach stands in contrast to conventional wisdom but has clearly yielded exceptional results.The discussion expands beyond personal performance to tackle the current state of trail running culture. Noah doesn't hold back when addressing what he sees as an "ultra bias" in media coverage and sponsorship priorities. "Ultra running is not that competitive," he argues, pointing to the depth of fields in races like Broken Arrow compared to most hundred-mile events. His passionate advocacy for sub-ultra distances reflects a belief that the sport's future lies in developing athletes progressively rather than pushing them prematurely toward extreme distances.Whether you're fascinated by elite training methods, curious about the intersection of skiing and running, or simply inspired by authentic mountain athletes, this conversation offers invaluable insights into what it takes to compete among the world's best. Join us for this riveting discussion with a trail runner whose star is clearly on the rise.Follow Noah on IG - @nowawillFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

About my goal. The Pikes Peaks ride is 36.70 miles up and down, 7000 feet of climbing starting from 7000 feet elevation in Manitou Springs Colorado. The total time to go up and down is 4 hours with an average speed of 9.1 mph. How should I prepare? Here's a high-level 12-week training plan tailored for a cyclist preparing to ride Pikes Peak via the Pikes Peak Highway, focusing on climbing strength, altitude adaptation, and endurance. The plan assumes a goal of completing the ride in 4 hours, with an average power of 173W and a total of 36.7 miles and 7,000 feet of climbing. Save the following for next week's Ask A Coach Ask A Coach: Should I run a full marathon in a buildup to full IRONMAN?  Coach, I'm getting ready for my full distance IRONMAN this Fall. What do you think about me doing a full marathon as a build up to the IRONMAN? That's awesome—you're gearing up for one of the most demanding endurance events out there! Preparing for a full-distance IRONMAN (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, 26.2-mile run) requires a smart balance of volume, intensity, and recovery. Your question about whether a full marathon is necessary or ideal is a great one, and it really depends on your goals and current training status. Is a Full Marathon Necessary for IRONMAN Prep? While many athletes include a marathon in their build-up, it's not always the most effective or safest choice. Here's why:   Pros of Running a Marathon Before IRONMAN: - Mental confidence boost from completing the distance. - Opportunity to test nutrition, pacing, and gear. - Simulates the fatigue and mental grind of the IRONMAN run.   Cons: - High injury risk due to the pounding and recovery time required. - Doesn't replicate IRONMAN fatigue (you'll be running after 6–8 hours of swimming and biking). - Can disrupt your training cycle due to the taper and recovery needed.   Viable Alternatives to a Marathon Here are some smart substitutes that can build endurance and race readiness without the downsides of a standalone marathon: 1. **Century Ride (100-mile bike)** - **Pros**: Low-impact, builds aerobic base, simulates IRONMAN bike leg. - **Use it for**: Nutrition testing, pacing, and mental endurance. - **Pair it with**: A short brick run (e.g., 6–10 miles) to simulate race fatigue.   2. **Long Swim Events (e.g., 5K–10K open water)** - **Pros**: Builds swim confidence, improves pacing and sighting. - **Use it for**: Practicing open water skills and wetsuit comfort. - **Pair it with**: A bike ride or short run for a swim-bike brick.   3. **Race Simulation Bricks** - **Example**: 80-mile bike + 13-mile run. - **Pros**: Mimics IRONMAN fatigue better than a standalone marathon. - **Use it for**: Testing gear, nutrition, and pacing under fatigue.   4. **Back-to-Back Long Runs** - **Example**: 12 miles Saturday + 10 miles Sunday. - **Pros**: Builds run durability with less injury risk than a marathon. - **Use it for**: Building cumulative fatigue without a single long effort. Coach's Summary Recommendation Unless you're chasing a marathon PR or need the mental boost, **skip the standalone marathon**. Instead, focus on **race-specific brick workouts**, **long rides**, and **progressive long runs**. These will better prepare you for the unique demands of IRONMAN day. Get Gritty Tip: My 2025 Misogi! Going into today's Pikes Peak ride, I was very unsure of what to expect. I heard from Rich that this was an annual challenge he has done since 2017 and this was something he looked forward to every year. Personally, I had not yet been on the Pikes Peak Highway nor had I really ventured into learning about it, other than what Coach Rich shared with me in prep. Even with the lack of personal knowledge, I stared at that mountain for over a year and a half and knew full well that this was going to be an EPIC day. I also knew that this was to be my 2025 Misogi.  If you remember back to earlier in the year, we talked about the concept of a Misogi which I was first introduced to in Michael Easter's book, The Comfort Crisis. A Misogi is an ancient Japanese practice of purification and redefined by modern thinkers as a way to push boundaries, build resilience, and challenge what's possible. The rule? You must pick a challenge so big and audacious that there's at least a 50% chance you won't succeed. It should be something far outside your comfort zone, forcing you to confront your limits—and then go beyond them. For me, riding Pike's Peak Highway on a road bike climbing possibly to the 14,115 ft summit was it. I knew I had a 50% chance or less of completing it on the first try. Well, I definitely stretched my limits and went beyond them. There was one point where I was shaking and felt altitude sickness. Coach Rich gently checked in with me and we agreed to go section by section, at my pace. I'm sure I showed up on a few people's instagram reels as I was leaning over my bike trying to catch my breath and not hurl. I kept smiling, laughing, swapping war stories with Rich and got my crazy ass up to the brake check station.  Even though we didn't make it to the summit, I was so freaking proud of how deep I dug and how far I came to my “braking” point. It seemed fitting for us to call it there and start our descent. When we reached the bottom, Rich asked how I was feeling, and I told him that I was excited to try again next year and see how much further I could progress. He was relieved and saw instantly that even though I didn't reach the peak, a fire for growth was lit, and that my friends is the whole purpose of a Misogi! Because here's the truth: Misogis aren't about the summit. They're about discovering what's inside you when the odds are uncertain, the air is thin, and your legs are screaming. It's about who you become when you lean into the challenge rather than back away. I didn't conquer the mountain that day—but I did conquer the voice inside me that said I couldn't. And that's what lit the fire to try again. So now it's your turn. What mountain—literal or metaphorical—are you willing to stare down in 2025? Pick something bold. Make it matter. And don't do it alone. We'll be here cheering, supporting, and swapping war stories right alongside you. Get gritty. Go big. Grow. That's your Get Gritty Tip of the week!   TriDot Workout of the Week: Stamina Ride   Today's workout is all about endurance and power. You'll focus on maintaining your race position, building stamina at different intensities, and keeping a solid rhythm throughout each effort. This is a great session to build consistency and mental toughness, key ingredients for triathlon success.   Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 3 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4     Main Set 2 x 12 min (5 min) @ Z4 (10 min) 1 x 20 min @ Z3 Balance of time @ Z2 Session Note When performing longer stamina sessions, stay in race position as if racing. Sit up to stretch periodically if you tend to tighten up. Then get back into race position. Aim to make the last repeat of each effort level as solid as the first. Perform Z2 and Z3 efforts @ 90+ rpms. Perform Z4 efforts @ 80 rpms. Motivational Tip: Focus on consistency today. The goal is to make your last interval as strong as your first. Whether you're climbing the hills in a race or pushing through the final miles, staying steady and focused will make the difference. Your race position isn't just about form—it's about creating efficiency and strength, even when the legs feel tired. Stay in the zone, push through those stamina efforts, and keep your legs moving. You're building the strength and endurance needed to power through the toughest parts of your race.     Fun Segment: Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction? Alright listeners, it's time to ascend into madness with a brand new segment we're calling Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction? We're taking on one of Colorado's most iconic climbs—the infamous Pikes Peak Highway. Rich, your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to tell us which of these high-altitude statements are real… and which are just altitude-induced hallucinations. 1. “Race cars use jet engines for added thrust to ascend Pikes Peak.” Answer: Fiction Why: While competitors use high-output, turbocharged engines (like 875 hp Peugeot 208s) to counter altitude-induced power loss, nobody is bolting jet engines to their cars at PPIHC. 2. “Runners have passed out at the summit due to thin air and needed oxygen revival.” Answer: Fact Why: The Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon finish at the summit (14,115 ft), where oxygen levels are roughly 60% of sea level . There are documented cases of athletes needing supplemental oxygen at the summit aid station after fainting or showing symptoms of altitude sickness. 3. “Pikes Peak birthed burro racing alongside donkeys up the mountain.” Answer: Fiction Why: Burro racing—known as “pack burro”—did originate in Colorado, but traces back to historic mining routes in Leadville and Fairplay, not Pikes Peak. The first official pack‑burro race began in 1949 along Mosquito Pass between Leadville and Fairplay. 4. “High-altitude summer temps can freeze fuel lines in race support vehicles.” Answer: Fiction Why: Although summit temperatures may dip near freezing—even snow in summer—modern fuel systems aren't vulnerable to frozen fuel lines in mild conditions. In truth, volume and moisture are the real culprits, and freezing requires much more frigid temperatures. 5. “There's a ‘Double' marathon—one run to the summit one day, and the full marathon back the next.” Answer: Fact Why: Known as the “Doubler,” this brutal challenge combines the Pikes Peak Ascent and the full Marathon on consecutive days—summit in one, summit and return the next. That's it for this round of Pikes Peak: Fact or Fiction?! Did you get them all right? Let us know how you scored—and if you've got altitude stories or mountain myths, we'd love to hear and share them!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. This week, I'm sharing my journey from a recent training camp in Leadville, Colorado. We talk about the physical and mental challenges of altitude training, how I stayed true to my plant-based diet out on the trail, and what I learned about hydration, heart health, and pushing through discomfort. We dive into the real effects of high altitude on the body and how proper preparation—and mindset—can make all the difference. I hope this episode inspires you to embrace hard things, stay true to your path, and believe in your ability to grow at any age.   LEARN MORE If you would like help with your healthy journey check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com Dietary consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training programing: natha@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney Find me on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter): @jaimeladulaney

Send us a textFrom podium finishes to mountain FKT ambitions, Jane Maus has been quietly building an impressive resume in trail running. Just weeks before the highly anticipated Broken Arrow Skyrace 46K, she joins the Steep Stuff Podcast to share her practical approach to one of North America's most competitive mountain races.Having placed 7th at Broken Arrow in 2022, Moss brings valuable course experience to this year's event. She candidly discusses her race strategy—holding back on the first loop to avoid the late-race blowup she experienced previously. "Last time I raced this, I felt amazing the first lap and was third or fourth place the entire lap," she recalls. "And then I had a bit of an explosion the last four miles and got passed by like three or four women."What makes this conversation particularly refreshing is Maus' honest self-assessment. Despite strong performances this season, including a second-place finish at Lake Sonoma 50 Miler and victory at GoPro Mountain Games, she acknowledges the specialized nature of Broken Arrow's terrain and the depth of the women's field. While making Team USA would be "absolutely a dream come true," she's focused on executing her best possible race rather than fixating on specific placement goals.The discussion extends beyond Broken Arrow to explore her ambitious plans for 2023, including potential FKT attempts on Grand Teton and Whirl Peak, several Cirque Series races, and possibly the Leadville 100. Her excitement about blending traditional trail racing with technical mountain objectives showcases the versatility that defines today's elite mountain athletes.Whether you're preparing for your own mountain race or simply fascinated by the strategic thinking behind elite performances, this conversation offers valuable insights into the mindset required to succeed in competitive mountain racing.

"I saw the tie between, you know, delaying recovery, restricting food and ending up with a bone injury in my foot. And it was part of why I took six years off."  Mary Denholm was a dual-sport athlete in college, competing in ski racing and cross country, track and field. After her first (and so far only) bone injury in college and struggling with restricting food intake, she took a long break from the sport. It ended up being six years off, while she went through law school and started her law career. "I can count on one hand the number of times I went for a run in those six years," she shared.  She has navigated a lot of change since getting back to the sport, times of very high stress, big moves, career transitions and more. But running has been a constant for her, since 2015. She shares her story within this sport, which includes qualifying for both the 2020 and 2024 Olylmpic Trials Marathons. Last year (2024), she finally got into trail running, and it's gone pretty well, to say the least! She signed her first professional running contracts at the end of last year, and at age 38, feels like many of her best races are ahead of her.  We talk about:  her experiences as a college athlete, and what happened when someone told her she'd be "faster" if she was "lighter"  how she's become in tune with her body to try to minimize injury risk, even with the timing sucks  changing your mid, leaving a career and other life transitions why she's been intersted in trail running, but held off until 2024 her year on the run in 2024 the reason she had some menstrual cycle disruptions a few years ago how she stays on top of her health now how she recovered from her trail races, including Leadville 100 (which she won!) and JFK 50-miler (2nd place) and what she's training for in 2025 Mary is a coach for Lift Run Perform.

Ele ingressou no triathlon graças ao incentivo do tio e, durante os primeiros 15 anos, dedicou-se às provas curtas. Sua estreia em uma prova de Ironman em 2009, foi motivada por um boato sobre a eventual mudança de local do Mundial de Kona e veio acompanhada do título de campeão amador do Ironman Brasil — o passaporte para sua primeira experiência no mundial naquele mesmo ano. No ano seguinte, com uma preparação minuciosa, conquistou o título de campeão da sua faixa etária e o vice-campeonato mundial amador no Havaí. Após uma breve incursão como profissional, encerrou sua carreira em 2016, com 12 participações em provas na distâncias de Ironman. A paixão pelo esporte seguiu viva — estudou a corrida no Quênia, subiu o Aconcágua, nadou a 14 Bis e voltou a competir em provas de triathlon a partir de 2019. Desde então, venceu, como amador, diversas etapas do Troféu Brasil e provas no interior paulista. No ano passado, participou da desafiadora Leadville 100 milhas. Meu outro convidado, nascido em Minas Gerais e criado em uma fazenda, destacou-se desde cedo pela disciplina. Formado em Administração pela FGV, construiu uma trajetória de sucesso no mercado financeiro. Iniciou na corrida em 2010, participou da Comrades Marathon apenas dois anos depois e soma 14 maratonas no currículo. Em 2014, estreou no triathlon e, desde então, participou de 22 provas de Ironman, incluindo sete edições do Mundial do Havaí. Neste episódio, dois triatletas de alta performance que compartilham o gosto pelo desafio, valorizam a disciplina ao extremo e escolheram dedicar-se incansavelmente ao esporte: o engenheiro e industrial lemense Ciro Violin, e o empresário e publisher paraisense, Pedro Luiz Cerize.

Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.The shownotes for today's episode can be found at www.scientifictriathlon.com/tts464/LINKS AND RESOURCES: John's Instagram and TwitterRunning Writings - John's websiteRunning Writings NewsletterAll of John's calculatorsThe 5k to Critical Speed calculator discussed at length in the episodeModern Training and Physiology for Middle and Long-Distance Runners - John's bookWHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NEXT?If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll love the following episodes: David Roche – The training and racing strategy behind his epic Leadville 100 course record | EP#444 - inspiring episode about ultra-running, with lots of interesting thought experiments for any endurance athleteMichele Zanini (part 2) | EP#394 - a deep-dive into Renato Canova's training methods, from somebody who spent a lot of time working together with CanovaRun training talk with Jon Green | EP#315 - a great interview on run training with the coach of Molly Seidel, bronze medalist at the Tokyo OlympicsYou can find our full episode archives here, where you can filter for categories such as Training, Racing, Science & Physiology, Swimming, Cycling, Running etc.You can also find separate archives for specific series of episodes I've done, specifically Q&A episodes, TTS Thursday episodes, and Beginner Tips episodes. LEARN MORE ABOUT SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON: The Scientific Triathlon website is the home of That Triathlon Show and everything else that we doContact us through our contact form or email me directly (note - email/contact form messages get responded to much more quickly than Instagram DMs)Subscribe to our NewsletterFollow us on InstagramLearn more about our coaching, training plans, and training camps.

We gulped down some pungent juice before recording this amazing episode! The main topics were the two big pieces of news: Jim Walsmley won't be racing Western States, and Kilian Jornet is making training videos now. Jim is the GOAT and we gave him an 85% chance of winning just last week. He's the supermassive black hole at the center of the Western States galaxy. Without Jim at the start line, how does it change the race? Kilian is the GOAT too (yes, we have a GOAT herd), and he just released a training video! He abides by the "no secrets" approach, and we analyzed every frame of that video to try to find clues about whether he might be beatable. Answer: no. Bonus answer: Kilian is the best and it's fascinating that he started his own video series by talking about his heat training.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: our magical coaching day at the US Mountain Championships, thoughts on training for mountain races, Unbreakable 2 cancellation, the wild triumph of Simon Yates, a new bicarb gel that could upend the bicarb market, the wild science of broccoli sprouts and a new juice supplement from Nomio, anti-histamines and athletic performance, why we're eating dark chocolate (it tastes good), lung training via breathing devices, the relationship between speed work and form in ultras, a hypothetical about Conner Mantz racing Leadville or Western States, an article in the New York Times on unethical mountaineering, training with a newborn, dealing with life transitions, fitting the Naked Belt, the cost of running, cheaper suphershoes, and an incredible poem on failing and flying.Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew. Also, if Icarus had broccoli sprouts and Kilian's training video, maybe he would have flown a bit longer.We love you all! HUZZAH!

For a brief period in the 1870s, Mart Duggan served as the lone vestige of law and order in the violent boomtown of Leadville, Colorado. Originally from Ireland, Duggan got his start out West prospecting for gold. He quickly garnered a deadly reputation, and by the time he arrived in Leadville, he had a total of 7 notches already on his gun. And when the town marshal was shot dead in April of 1878, it was Duggan who took his place. Despite being fearless, Duggan just couldn't adjust to an ever-changing landscape. As the West became more and more civilized, Dugan failed to adapt. And it was this failure, along with his somewhat heavy-handed tactics, that would ultimately lead him to an early grave.   Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Learn more about your ad choices.

Recorded on-site at the 2025 Women in Mining National Conference in San Antonio, this episode brings authentic, unfiltered stories from two rising voices in the mining world—Margaret Hinton and Paige Courtney. With backgrounds as diverse as cotton farming and competitive athletics to engineering and financial investigations, Margaret and Paige dive into how they found purpose and passion in the mining industry. Together, they share how mining became more than a career—it's a community. From their first experiences in tunnels and copper pits to working on a new Women in Mining chapter in the Midwest, they highlight the importance of visibility, storytelling, and educating the next generation. Whether it's correcting outdated perceptions about the industry or advocating for reclamation and sustainability, their mission is clear: mining has a human face, and it's changing fast. This episode is packed with humor, heart, and hard truths—plus, a few ghost stories, underground adventures, and a growing obsession with mining history (and a certain Leadville legend, Baby Doe Tabor). And if you're wondering what these women are up to after-hours? Head north to Area 31, a unique UTV park in Minocqua, Wisconsin, where the off-road spirit runs just as deep as their passion for mining.

Send us a textWhat does it take to reach the elite level of trail running when your body keeps threatening to derail your dreams? Ryan Becker knows this challenge intimately. After fully tearing his Achilles tendon during a college cross-country championship race—and still finishing to earn All-American honors—he's spent years battling chronic tendon issues while quietly becoming one of the most consistent performers on the American trail running circuit.From his unorthodox beginnings as a tennis player who discovered running relatively late, to his current status as a mountain running stalwart based in Telluride, Colorado, Becker shares the twists and turns of his remarkable journey. His candid discussion about nearly undergoing double Achilles surgery before finding an alternative path to recovery offers hope to anyone dealing with persistent injuries. "Health is really a lot more important than hitting a number of run miles in the week," he explains, detailing how cross-training on the bike and skis has allowed him to maintain world-class fitness despite sometimes running zero miles per week.Perhaps most fascinating is Becker's thoughtful perspective on the sponsorship world, where he's remained largely on the outside looking in despite impressive results like winning the Kodiak 50K and numerous podium finishes at prestigious events. His reflections on what brands truly value—and whether consistency might sometimes be less marketable than dramatic breakthroughs—provide valuable insight for athletes navigating today's complex landscape. As he looks ahead to potentially tackling the Leadville 100 and continuing to compete at the highest level, Becker's story reminds us that sometimes the most impressive athletic achievements aren't just the victories, but the relentless pursuit of excellence despite significant obstacles.Whether you're dealing with injuries, questioning your path in endurance sports, or simply appreciate stories of quiet determination, this conversation will leave you with new perspectives on what it means to succeed on your own terms in the mountains.

By Davy Crockett  This episode is a replay of the popular early episode 29, about the Tarahumara runners of Mexico. In recent years, the story of the amazing Tarahumara (Rarámuri) runners from Mexico exploded into international attention with the publication of Christopher McDougall's best-selling 2009 book, Born to Run. Runners everywhere in 2009 naively tossed their shoes aside for a while and wanted to run like these ancient native Americans from hidden high Sierra canyons in Chihuahua, Mexico. Many other runners left the marathon distance behind, sought to run ultramarathons, and dreamed about running the Leadville 100, which exploded with new entrants. Readers of Born to Run think that the Tarahumara Indians made their debut running in America in 1992. Born to Run features their 1994 race at Leadville, Colorado. It has been falsely claimed that this was the first time that this indigenous people showed up to run outside their native environs. This is not true. Yes, the Tarahumara competed in the U.S. in 1992, but it was not the first time that they displayed their running abilities in the United States. The Tarahumara competed in America more than six decades earlier when they made an even deeper impact on ultrarunning history. Read the entire article about the Tarahumara

Our guest this week is Colorado-based cyclist Michaela Thompson, who joined us a couple of days before the kickoff of the Life Time Grand Prix at Sea Otter Gravel. Originally from Boulder, Michaela now lives in Durango CO. She talks about her upbringing in a family of athletes, and how she made her way from downhill ski racing to joining the cycling team at Boulder High School in her junior year. Michaela joined the Boulder Junior Cycling Club in 2019 where she dabbled in all disciplines of cycling, and qualified as a junior for Cyclocross Worlds in January of 2020. She tells us how that experience sparked a fire in her to compete at a high level in cycling, leading her to join a professional development team in Durango. Over the next couple of years she gained experience in the endurance cycling world, and eventually made her own race program as a privateer in 2024 where she finished 10th overall in the Life Time Grand Prix. Michaela also shares some of her goals and plans for the 2025 race season, which include a second year in the Grand Prix, as well as racing Brek Epic which starts the day after Leadville!

Send us a textMeet Alison Rudy, a rising star in the mountain running community who's challenging conventional paths to success in the sport. From her home base in Leadville, Colorado—elevation 10,000 feet—Alison is crafting a remarkable career focused on sub-ultra distances and uphill dominance.Our conversation weaves through Ali's fascinating background as a "third culture kid" who grew up moving between Bulgaria, West Africa, and various parts of the United States. This nomadic childhood instilled a resilience that serves her well on the trails, where she recently dominated the Run Through Time Half Marathon with a new course record. Just days before our conversation, she secured an impressive 4th place finish at Desert Rats 21K against a stacked field including Tabor Hemming and Sydney Peterson.What makes Ali's story particularly compelling is her unconventional entry into competitive running. Unlike many elites with collegiate backgrounds, she discovered running as personal therapy after moving to Leadville at 17. Years of consistent training—even modest 20-mile weeks—gradually built a foundation of strength that now allows her to compete at the highest levels. Her approach to the sport balances competitive fire with thoughtful strategy, particularly evident in her recent focus on proper fueling during races.Ali shares insights about training at extreme altitude, her favorite gear choices (including her love for Norda's 005 shoes), her musical pursuits as a folk singer-songwriter, and her work with local students in Leadville. Her excitement about upcoming FKT attempts on Mount Elbert and her race schedule including Vail Mountain Games and Mammoth Trail Fest reveals an athlete hitting her stride and ready to make waves.Ready to be inspired by a fresh perspective on mountain running?
