Welcome to Episode 147 of the ShiftLess Podcast! This week, we're serving up a heavy dose of mental gymnastics, cycling industry conspiracy theories, and... dry-cured meats?Bradford gives us an update from the "cure room," but the real meat of the episode is Kevin's massive hot take on the sudden explosion of the 32-inch gravel bike hype. After the absolute dominance of the Specialized Crux at Unbound Gravel (taking 4 of the top 6 spots), are competitors like Scott and Trek pushing 32-inch prototypes as vaporware just to freeze Specialized's sales momentum? We break down the timeline, compare the 32" hype machine to the slow burn of the original 29er mountain bikes, and discuss whether the industry is actually innovating or just scrambling for survival.Plus, we talk Keegan Swenson's Unbound tactics, the upcoming Tour Divide, and why flat-bar drops might be the next frankenbike trend at Leadville.Disclaimer: We aren't industry insiders. This is just our opinion, our observations, and a lot of unapologetic bike nerdery.Join the Pack: Check out upcoming grassroots gravel & ultra-endurance events at Spinistry.netListen on the Go: Find ShiftLess on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your audio.#GravelCycling #32InchBike #SpecializedCrux #UnboundGravel #ShiftLessPodcast #CyclingIndustry #BikeTech #GravelRacing #MountainBiking #TourDivide #ScottBikes #KeeganSwenson #Bikepacking #CyclingPodcast #SpinistryShiftless Ep. 147: Salami in the Cure Room, Unbound Debrief, and the 32-Inch Gravel ConspiracyIn Episode 147 of Shiftless, the hosts open by disclaiming they're sharing opinions, then detour into Bradford's “cure room” and his salami projects (beef, Calabrian pork tenderloin, and ventricina-style), explaining drying to ~40% loss and vacuum-sealing to equalize moisture. They pivot to bicycles with an Unbound debrief and a debate over 32-inch wheel hype, noting only one appeared in the pro race while Robin won XL on a Scott 32-inch prototype. They argue the new Specialized Crux dominated results and discuss team dynamics, marketing, and concerns about Specialized dealer pricing. Kevin proposes a conspiracy that 32-inch hype was amplified to slow Crux momentum among early adopters, while Bradford contends big brands are quietly developing 32s and hype moves faster now. They also preview a delayed Tour Divide episode, discuss parts availability for 32s in ultra events, note tracking tools, and touch on Leadville's drop-bar ban.00:00 Rolling in HD00:23 Opinions Disclaimer01:22 Cure Room Salami02:26 Salami Tasting Notes04:52 Back to Bicycles05:57 Unbound 32 Inch Recap07:02 Team Orders Talk09:23 Specialized Dealer Drama10:50 Crux Dominates Unbound11:40 Tour Divide Plans12:46 Marketing and Tire Clearance16:24 32 Inch Hype Timing22:23 Vaporware Argument23:21 Boutique vs Big Brands26:50 Fads and Fueling Trends28:52 Who Drives the Hype30:11 Sea Otter Reality Check30:55 Will Big Brands Debut 32s34:30 Hype Cycle vs Reality38:25 Development Cycles Explained39:03 MTB Platform Confusion39:41 Scott 32 Prototype Strategy44:19 Hype Cycle vs Reality48:36 Tour Divide Practicalities53:25 Salsa Size Debate55:23 Bikepacking Bags and Fit57:03 AC Troubles and Costs01:02:00 Industry Survival and 32 Adoption01:09:01 Leadville Bars and Specialized01:12:48 Unbound Results and Rider Stories01:19:42 Tour Divide Lists and Tracking01:21:52 Wrap Up and Sign Off

In this episode of the CPQ Podcast, Frank Sohn speaks with Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO of G2, about how AI, software reviews, and answer engines are changing the way companies evaluate CPQ and enterprise software. Godard shares G2's key priorities for 2026, including AI transformation, the integration of Gartner Digital Markets, and the growing importance of trusted software review data. With the acquisition of Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp, G2 now works with more than 6 million reviews and a significantly larger buyer audience. This creates new opportunities for software buyers, CPQ vendors, and AI-driven recommendation engines. The conversation also explores how more CPQ buyers are starting their research journey in tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude instead of relying only on Google searches, analyst reports, or traditional review sites. Godard explains why Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO, is becoming increasingly important and how it relates to SEO. He also discusses how G2 is optimizing content for both human buyers and AI agents. Frank and Godard also talk about the role of AI in CPQ, including where AI can help with research, software comparison, and decision support, and why human judgment remains important for complex CPQ evaluations. Godard also shares G2's plans around AI blueprints, AI-enabled software identification, and the future of cross-system automation. Beyond technology, Godard discusses G2's PEAK values — Performance, Entrepreneurship, Authenticity, and Kindness — as well as Pledge 1%, entrepreneurship, and his personal experience completing the Leadville 100 mountain bike race. This episode is especially relevant for CPQ buyers, CPQ vendors, software evaluators, revenue leaders, and anyone interested in how AI is reshaping enterprise software selection.

Kia ora e te whānau. Ian Sharman is a straight-up Legend in the sport of ultramarathon running. A Coach and Athlete hailing from the Golden Age, before 4K cameras in everyone's pockets and when fans had to pass around a pirated copy of Unbreakable, Sharman and his kin were like trail gods, foreshadowing and inspiring the current crop of legends and doing things us regular people could only imagine, and we had to, because it was before the great trailrunning media bubble formed. Starting DCR 8 years ago after growing up in the sport, listening to Shaman on Trail Runner Nation and the like, and having him on the podcast is like a dream come true. The four-time Leadville winner and Grand Slam of Ultra Running record holder joins Ali and Andrew for a long overdue catch-up about life on the trails, his amazing achievements in racing and coaching, and the why behind his new book, The Art of Ultrarunning: Tried & Tested Strategies for Long Distance Runners.Dirt Church Radio—Best Enjoyed Running.--- --- --- Episode Links Ian Sharman InstagramSharman Ultra CoachingThe Art Of Ultrarunning PreorderSign up for the DCR AidStation newsletter.Dirt Church Radio on InstagramDirt Church Radio on FacebookFurther Faster New ZealandEnjoy!Music by Andrew McDowall, Digicake

Pour ce 92e épisode de La Bande à D+, présenté par Nicolas Fréret, nous vous proposons un épisode spécial, réalisé sur le terrain, dans le cadre de la 24e édition du Lozère Trail, l'un des événements de trail français parmi les plus authentiques du calendrier, au coeur des Gorges du Tarn et de la vallée du Lot.On vous parle notamment de la Skyrace des Gorges du Tarn et de l'Ultra Lozère, une aventure de 110 km disputée sur deux jours avec nuit en bivouac, au cœur de paysages parmi les plus spectaculaires du sud du Massif central, à travers un terrain de jeu exceptionnel, façonné par les gorges, les falaises calcaires, les causses et les grands espaces sauvages.Au sommaire également de cette émission :

CARRERAS DE MONTAÑA 100 MILLAS: Homenaje Ehunmilak. Historia y cómo prepararlas. https://go.ivoox.com/rf/174547938Las carreras de montaña de 100 millas representan todavía hoy el gran viaje iniciático del trail running moderno. Son 170 kilómetros donde el corredor deja atrás cualquier idea romántica sobre correr por montaña para entrar en otro terreno completamente distinto: gestión del sueño, alimentación, desgaste muscular y resistencia mental durante una jornada completa —o dos— enlazando senderos, bosques y collados bajo calor, lluvia o frío nocturno. La Western States californiana abrió camino en 1977 y después llegaron gigantes como Leadville 100 en 1983 desde Colorado, la Diagonale des Fous en 1989 desde la isla de Reunión o la hoy masificadas UTMB en 2003 desde los Alpes. Las cien millas suponen ascender y descender un Everest emocional comprimido en una ultrartail. En España, pocas carreras reflejan mejor ese espíritu cara al corredor popular que la vasca Ehunmilak, que vivimos del 2010 al 2025 entre montañas verdes, barro y una afición popular capaz de animar corredores durante toda la noche. Este 2026 acaba de confirmar su cierre definitivo,Preparar una 100 millas exige mucho más que acumular kilómetros. De todo ello hablamos hoy con Rodrigo Ladera, Sandra Yagüe y Sergio Mayayo, apenas terminar un entrenamiento "cienmillero" con subida y bajada a La Bola del Mundo desde Cercedilla. Sergio Mayayo.

Zoë and TJ break down the science of the N of 1 experiment and how to self-coach intelligently in a world flooded with biohacks, miracle protocols, and "this one weird trick" content. Borrowing Feynman's first principle — you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool — they walk through six cognitive biases that trick endurance athletes into believing something works when it doesn't: regression to the mean, the placebo of the shiny new toy, confirmation bias, the novelty honeymoon, comparison traps, and sunk cost. Then they get practical: how to actually test an intervention, change one variable at a time, define success before you start, and ask the question that cuts through the noise — compared to what? Plus a coach spotlight on James Nance, TJ's road back to Leadville, and Zoë's day-by-day approach to managing an Achilles flare-up.

If you've ever wondered whether your endurance base could carry you into gravel or mountain bike racing — or whether your FTP is really the thing holding you back — this episode is a timely reality check. Dave Schell is the founder of Kaizen Endurance, based in Boulder, Colorado, and has spent 15 years coaching cyclists and endurance athletes through some of the most demanding events on the calendar — Unbound 200, Leadville, ultra-distance gravel and mountain bike. Before that, he spent seven years at Training Peaks as coach education manager, so he understands both the science and the real-world application better than most. We talk about why FTP is overrated as a race predictor, why skill and technique will give you more free speed than another training block, how to actually prepare your body for eight to ten hours in the saddle, the mental game of ultra-distance events, and why consistency remains the most unsexy and most powerful tool any athlete has. There's a lot in here that applies well beyond gravel.   5 KEY POINTS FTP is overrated for long events — after eight hours everyone regresses to the same sustainable pace. Durability and fat oxidation decide the result. Skill delivers free speed — technique improvements will outperform another fitness block for most athletes, most of the time. Race your race bike — training on the road and racing gravel leaves your body unprepared for the physical demands, regardless of fitness level. Recovery is where adaptation happens — most athletes need permission to rest, not encouragement to go harder. Consistency is the only secret — the work never changes, you just keep doing it week after week. 3 TAKEAWAYS Sign up for something that scares you — if there's no real possibility of failure, you'll wing it. The fear is what gets you out the door. Context beats data — RPE and athlete feedback tell you more than power numbers alone. Data without context is just noise. Extreme moderation wins — train at the right load, not the highest load. The athletes who stay consistent are the ones who progress. KILLER QUOTE

Kia ora e te whānau. We ran away and joined the circus. And it was cool as hell. No, not that dork-fest in the desert, but a true example of community and fellowship at the 2026 Hoka Ultra Trail Australia by UTMB. These are incredible four days in the majesty of the Blue Mountains. Ali and Matt were privileged to lead a brilliant conversation with some of the biggest talents in Trail and Ultra Running on Friday, after the first of our live shows was rained off. We speak with Beth McKenzie, Ruth Croft, Dan Jones, and two-time Leadville champ (and kangaroo victim) Adrian MacDonald.  We'll be running down the highs and lows, drama, and hilarity of yapping on the mic during this wonderful week away. We would like to acknowledge every single person who toe'd the line in the 11, 22, 50, 100 km, and 100-mile distances. We appreciate the effort, courage, and sacrifice you and your families made to be here.

So imagine that it's 5am and you're standing in the cold and dark in the Blue Mountains, you're there with 1500 other people. You're carrying all the gear you'll need for the next 24 hours, a headlamp on, and what lays ahead is running 100 kilometres through the beauty that is the Blue Mountains. Up and down the cliffsides, through and across the Megalong, Jamison and Kedumba Valleys. For almost no prize money for those that finish as the first few through, little notoriety outside of this niche community, why do these people do something that appears entirely insane, if not downright dangerous to the normal person. To pursue. To seek. To explore limits, potential, to understand what it is we're truly capable of.And today's guest is a real treat, and one of the very best in the world at not only running really far, but at speeds that would put him at the front of every running group you've ever seen. Adrian MacDonald is one of the world's best ultra distance runners, and it was both a thrill and a pleasure to speak with him in the lead up to him racing in Ultra Trail Australia over the weekend, where he placed third in an astonishing time of 9 hours and 32 minutes to cover 101 kilometres to go with 4400 metres of elevation.So why would I want to speak with an ultra running distance athlete on what is ostensibly a podcast about sustainability and issues like climate change, corporate incentive structures and justice? Because to me the ultra athlete and the sustainability professional are ultimately the same archetype. Both are seeking to shift norms and seek accomplishments well outside of what the current system ill-defines as appropriate and acceptable. The ultra athlete perseveres, as does the sustainability professional. The ultra athlete needs total clarity of purpose to withstand the ups and downs of whatever a course and race will throw at them, as does the sustainability professional. The ultra athlete is a model for those of us seeking change, to do what seems implausible and to practice action with deliberacy, intention and constant attention to all the small details in pursuit of that grand dream.Adrian's story though, even for an ultra athlete, where unusual stories and maverick personalities are the regular, really is something else. A track and road marathon athlete of serious note, Covid upended his Boston Marathon ambitions in 2020, and living in Fort Collins, Colorado, nestled against the Rocky Mountains, he hit the trails. Less than 18 months later he won one of the world's most prestigious ultra marathons - the Leadville 100 - before backing up again 12 months later and also winning another big race in New Zealnd - three from three in his first three ultras. A new star was born. Since then, Adrian's life has shifted from being a regular financial controller at Colorado State University to a sponsored athlete with one of the world's leading apparel and shoe brands, and racing in Europe, across the US, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Africa. What he's achieved is the desired story of every sustainability professional - to work diligently, outside of the limelight, until one day, a largely unpredictable day, shifts how life was and will no longer be how it was again.Speaking with Adrian, being able to spend time with someone of such pedigree, has lit a fire in me. I hope it does the same for you.Support for this episode comes from:Reposit Power - $500 off your solar battery installation. Planet Protein - double the value of your first order at no extra cost.Send me a messageThanks for listening.

Dr. Teddy Bross is a practicing family medicine physician at Highpoint Direct Care where he focuses on the treatment of athletes and active adults in Colorado and select surrounding states. He is an avid mountain ultra trail athlete, husband and father. Happiest in the company of friends and indulging in small joys, Dr. Teddy is a seeker of wild flowers, avid reader and consumer of poetry, and frequent DIY project manager, including the building of a dreamy Finnish basement sauna.In this episode, Teddy and Jon talk about the massive gaps that exist in traditional medicine for endurance athletes and why so many runners are struggling with fatigue, low energy availability, recurring injuries, and burnout without getting meaningful answers.They dive into the realities of modern healthcare, why most runners wait too long to seek help, and how Teddy approaches athlete care differently through direct primary care. The conversation also explores ferritin and iron deficiency, underfueling, GI issues in endurance sports, why so many athletes are chronically exhausted, and how curiosity plays a role both in medicine and in running.Teddy also shares stories from pacing David Roche at Leadville, witnessing the emotional moment at Foresthill during Western States, and what excellence really looks like behind the scenes.This episode is a deep look at athlete health, performance, consistency, and the systems that either support or fail runners trying to stay healthy long term.Stay connected: Learn more about Highpoint Direct Care: https://www.highpointdirectcare.com/aboutusDr. Teddy Bross on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/run.doctor/This episode is supported by:Precision Fuel & Hydration - Dial your fueling in this year.

Buddy does things differently. You can't miss the guy, as he is always rocking his bright red drop bar Trek bike with giant fat tires on it, hitting every bike race on the scene. Doesn't matter if it is a mountain bike race, gravel or road he is there, and on the front with his fat bike. The dude has huge stoke for the sufferfest and exploring anywhere by bicycle.

In this episode of The Consummate Athlete Podcast, Peter and Molly interview long-time podcaster, broadcaster and multi- time Leadville finisher and supporter Michael Hotten about: Why the Leadville 100 MTB race holds so much esteem and brings people back multiple times How to crew and support riders or runners in ultra events Biggest mistakes he has seen in big endurance races like Leadville The top 3 Marginal gains a masters rider should consider

Elite cyclist, multisport athlete, and endurance coach Jenny Smith has spent decades pushing her limits — including multiple Leadville 100 podiums — but perimenopause and a meniscus tear brought unexpected mental and physical health challenges…and solutions. Ultimately, she found help through traditional medical interventions, picked up weights and got stronger than she's been in years, and discovered Angelic Reiki, which gave her peace, calm, and a deeper connection to herself. This week we unpack her perimenopause journey, the symptoms she didn't see coming, the relief strategies that actually worked, and why aging doesn't have to mean stepping back from the sports and the life you love.Jenny Smith is an elite cyclist, multisport athlete, and endurance coach with Aim High Performance Coaching—a company she co-founded with her husband, Brian Smith.A New Zealander, Jenny has called Gunnison, CO, home since 1999. She arrived as a collegiate runner at Western Colorado University and has been fortunate to live here as a pro mountain biker and elite athlete with Brian and their daughter, Jade. She coaches with youth and collegiate athletes and provides personalized coaching for endurance athletes. Jenny aims to be an active role model, athlete, and coach for many years to come.

Joey Miuccio came to Texas undertrained, ran 111 miles, and cried in a chair. He'd do it all again.  This one goes deeper than the G1M Ultra. Joey breaks down what actually separates a backyard ultra from Leadville. It'snot the distance, it's that you can never slow to a crawl. Every lap has a clock, and the clock doesn't care about your knee. He hit mile 85 feeling invincible, convinced he'd be out there forever. By mile 91 he was bargaining with himself again. The roller coaster never stops, and this conversation captures every drop of it.There's a moment mid-race where Kendall Picado Fallas—still competing for the win—quietly falls in beside Joey and drags him through his 100-mile lap without being asked. That moment says everything about the culture inside the G1M Ultra that the highlight reels don't show.But the conversation that lingers comes after the race recap. Joey gets honest about the trap of always chasing the next thing, why satisfaction has to live in the journey rather than the finish line, and what it felt like to hit 111 miles with minimal training and still wonder if he left something out there. Tap into the Joey Miuccio Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! S H O W  N O T E S  -The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run  -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffzInstagram: @joeymiuccio YouTube: @Joeymiuccio TikTok: @joeymiuccio

Dr. Scott Sherr is a clinician, hyperbaric medicine specialist, co-founder of Troscriptions, and one of the founding faculty of the Health Optimization Medicine and Practice nonprofit — and in this return episode, he comes with a very different perspective than his first appearance. What changed? He stopped putting everyone in the chamber. In this conversation, Scott and Freddie unpack the two hyperbaric chamber deaths that shook the industry in 2025 — what actually went wrong, what safety standards clinics and home users are missing, and why a sympathetically dominant nervous system may render even the best biohacking tools completely ineffective. From there they go deep on mitochondrial function as the master upstream driver of energy, detox, digestion, healing, and longevity — and why most people need to subtractbefore they can optimize. The second half of this episode is a complete masterclass on methylene blue — what it actually does at the mitochondrial level, how to find your ideal dose (hint: you'll know within three to five days), why 94% of American adults are metabolically compromised enough to benefit from it, and how one ultramarathoner shaved three hours off his Leadville 100 finish time using it strategically. Scott and Freddie also tackle epigenetic age testing, immunosenescence, the dopamine-draining effects of smartphones on libido and focus, and why screen time may be the most underrated threat to your nervous system recovery. Plus — a full breakdown of the Troscriptions product suite: TruCalm, TruZ, TruImmune, and methylene blue's role in each.Episode Highlights [04:27] – Dr. Scott explains how his work now spans clinical care, practitioner training, and product development [06:35] – Why mitochondrial function has become the foundation of his approach to health and recovery [07:42] – What likely caused recent hyperbaric chamber accidents and why safety protocols matter [13:12] – Why stacking devices inside a chamber creates unnecessary risk [15:16] – The problem with influencer protocols and overcomplicating health routines [18:52] – Soft-shell vs. hard-shell chambers and how pressure impacts oxidative stress [22:42] – A practical framework for intensive vs. maintenance hyperbaric use [27:59] – Why direct mitochondrial testing is limited and how metabolomics fills the gap [29:55] – Common signs of mitochondrial dysfunction, from brain fog to poor recovery [35:53] – Dr. Scott revisits methylene blue and challenges common misconceptions [39:28] – Why most people may benefit from mitochondrial support despite “not being sick” [41:44] – How to think about dosing and what a proper response should feel like [44:04] – The role of sympathetic dominance in blocking healing and recovery [46:04] – Why longevity metrics need context beyond just improving numbers [50:16] – How screen time and dopamine overload impact energy, libido, and focus [53:08] – The expanding Troscriptions product line and the goal of needing less over time Scott's First Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/42vjXWQ9HAFqOd2avJsj6n?si=76da7d2114694e6a   Links & Resources Connect with Dr. Scott Sherr: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/ Buy Troscriptions: https://troscriptions.com/?rfsn=9066612.3f3859&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=9066612.3f3859 Use Code: BeautifullyBroken Silver Biotics: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD Use Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nick Walker is a content creator, endurance athlete, and co-founder of 1441 Collective, and he's got a lot going on.In this episode, Ryan sits down with Nick to talk about his journey from baseball hopeful to full-time creator, why he's training for the Leadville 100, and what it actually looks like to build a business while running 60+ miles a week.They get into the real side of content creation, the ego traps, the algorithm obsession, and how Nick stays grounded by treating the experience as the product, not the content. Nick shares why he doesn't love the word "follower," how he built genuine relationships with 600,000 people, and why he thinks social media is gut feeling, a net negative for most people.The conversation gets personal too. Nick opens up about 400+ days of sobriety, what prompted it, and why his mom is on the same journey. They talk about alcohol, microdosing, presence, gratitude, and the Buddhist idea of just being here now.Everything in life is a win as long as your intention is experience.

In this episode AJW cracks a brew with Colorado based trail and ultrarunner Imogen Ainsworth to talk about her active upbringing in athletics, her incredible 2nd place finish at the 2025 Leadville 100 and her hopes and dreams going into her 2026 season.   Follow Imogen on instagram @imogenainsworth

This episode of the Rise Resolute Podcast explores the power of courage with elite ultrarunner, journalist, and author Katie Arnold, who has written multiple books, including Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World. At the heart of the conversation is the idea that courage is not the absence of fear, but choosing to keep moving forward in the presence of it. Throughout her life as a writer, athlete, and mother, Katie has embodied the practice of meeting challenges with awareness and honesty: allowing yourself to feel what you are feeling in the moment rather than resisting it, which in turn creates space for possibility. Her recovery from a severe tibial plateau fracture after a whitewater rafting accident in Idaho and her return (despite being told she may not run again) to win the Leadville 100 ultramarathon just two years later offers one powerful example of how mindset, patience, and belief can shape what the body and spirit are capable of. Woven through this episode is a reminder that the energy of our mindset affects our bodies and our path forward. Be courageous. Use your voice. And keep moving toward what is possible.https://talitha.com/ginameyer

Send a textIn episode #177 we spoke with ultrarunner Adrian MacDonald about practical insights on altitude adaptation, fueling strategies, injury prevention, and mental prep for ultrarunning. In this episode:How he conquered Leadville, twiceFueling strategies: carbs, hydration, gut trainingThe importance of PT exercises, injury management, and recovery routinesAdrian began running competitively as a sophomore in high school in Massachusetts in 2004 and quickly developed a love for all forms of the sport. After moving to Fort Collins, Colorado in the fall of 2016, he discovered a deep passion for running in the mountains. That passion fully took shape when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the 2020 Boston Marathon, prompting a shift in his training toward mountain, trail, and ultrarunning.With a new focus, Adrian set his sights on the 2021 Leadville Trail 100. Years of experience and key moments along his running journey suggested success was possible, and those expectations were realized as he earned the 5th fastest time in the race's history at that time. Training for Leadville marked one of the most meaningful periods of his life, deepening his love for the outdoors and the trail running community. Beyond personal competition, Adrian is committed to giving back to the running community, serving on the board of the Fort Collins Running Club, volunteering at local races, and coaching fellow athletes. Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Adrian:IG: https://www.instagram.com/macdonaldadrian/Strava: strava.com/athletes/8368561YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AdrianMacdonaldMentioned:Carbs Fuel: https://amzn.to/3PcgWFIEpisode #158 w/ Anna Gibson: https://nutritional-revolution.com/podcasts/from-trail-running-to-gravel-grinding-anna-gibsons-journey-to-peak-performance/Momentous Elite Sleep Capsules: https://go.shopmy.us/p-46721249Compression Boots: https://go.shopmy.us/p-46724667On running shorts: https://go.shopmy.us/p-46725565MORE NR Save 10% on our website with code NEWPOD10 Apply to work with us, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/ Interested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

Send a textWhile I was running a 12-hour, overnight trail race in Highlands Ranch, Colo. in 2024, I got a hamstring cramp that forced me to walk until I could get it to go away. In the middle of the night, when it was fairly cool. What the heck! I started to think afterwards about the number of times I'd been impaired by muscle cramps over the course of 35-plus years of races. At mile 30 of the Leadville Trail 100. At mile 22 of the Lost Dutchman Marathon in Arizona when I was on BQ pace. When my hamstring and quad muscles cramped simultaneously at mile 23 of the Boston Marathon, causing me to hobble-walk a 19-minute mile when I had been on my way to perhaps breaking 3:10. With another Leadville Trail 100 attempt only a couple of months away, I decided it was time to do something about this chronic issue and get a sweat test done at the Nutrition Mechanic in Boulder, Colo. It's a very simple test done in their office. They also had me do three short trial runs to determine my fluid loss rate. It was a real eye-opener. I always knew I sweated a lot of salt, but my degree of fluid loss was rather astounding. I was losing from 0.8 to 1.0 pounds of fluid in just a half-hour! Since your ability becomes impaired once you exceed losing 2% of your body weight, using 150 lbs. as a rough number, meant that that 2% was happening to me in only 90 minutes. I had never considered it necessary to carry water for a run this short. This info was a total game-changer for me.  I used this knowledge during the LT100 to dial in my fluid and electrolyte intakes using products from Precision Fuel, and bam, no muscle cramps hindered me at all. In this episode, you are going to learn a lot that might also greatly impact your training and race performances with Nutrition Mechanic founder and CEO Dina Griffin. Dina is a registered dietician who has an MS in Food Science and Human Nutrition and has also finished races like Leadville, Run Rabbit Run, and Comrades. Our conversation goes in-depth not only about how to use sweat test results and the genetics behind them, but how to efficiently fuel, various kinds of testing that can be done to optimize performance, supplementation, and much more. Dina shares a lot of practical advice in very relatable ways that will potentially help you make adjustments that don't require extreme supplementation or radical dieting.Dina Griffinnutritionmechanic.comFacebook The Nutrition MechanicInstagram @nutritionmechanicLinkedIn DinagriffinrdPodcast Inside Sports NutritionBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138Ride to End ALZ Coloradowww.alz.org/rideco 

Is more carbohydrate always better, or does your gut need to be trained like your legs?In this episode, we sit down with Roxanne Vogel, PhD, Director of Research and Education at GU Energy Labs, to unpack what gut training actually means, how carbohydrates use different transport systems, and why carbohydrate tolerance varies so much between athletes. We also explore the "why" behind gut training, high carb feeding, metabolic flexibility, the role of hot environments, and what personalized carbohydrate strategies may look like in the near future.More about our guest:Roxanne Gonzales Vogel is a scientist, athlete, and adventurer. As the Director of Research and Education at GU Energy Labs, she oversees the brand's Performance Lab and works with elite athletes to optimize nutrition for performance, health, and longevity. She holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology from Southern Cross University in Australia, where her research focused on environmental physiology and strategies to improve athletic performance in the presence of environmental stressors, including heat, cold, and hypoxia. Roxanne's research interests are largely inspired by her pursuits as a high-altitude mountaineer and ultra-endurance athlete. In May of 2019, she summited Mount Everest in a fraction of the time it normally takes—two weeks as opposed to two months— using a novel pre-acclimation protocol and custom nutrition products she developed to make the record-breaking ascent possible. Roxanne is also an experienced trail runner, competing primarily in mountain ultramarathons, including the iconic Leadville 100 where she placed 4th in 2022. She has spent the past 15 years studying nutrition and its impact on body composition, athletic performance, and cognitive function. Roxanne currently lives and trains in Mammoth Lakes, CA.-------Drop a question in our free Patreon Community and get access to bonus content with Bob and Dina by upgrading to the Gold Level membership.

The first time I saw these guys was in the documentary The Kid after finishing Tahoe 200 — and I immediately thought:“Who are these dudes?”There was something different about them.The energy. The edge. The authenticity.Then I started seeing more about HyperlyteNot just as another nutrition company… but as a movement.And then I saw them at the races.I saw Jeremy at Leadville.Emory out there racing the mountains himself.Then Jeremy lining up at Run Rabbit Run.That's when it clicked:They aren't just building products for ultrarunners.They ARE ultrarunners.In this episode, we dive into:• Jeremy's journey from addiction and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail to crushing 100-milers like Run Rabbit Run, Bear 100, Cruel Jewel, and Rim to River• Emory's path from 300-lb college football lineman to Leadville, Wasatch, High Lonesome, and The Bear• What 100-mile racing teaches you about life, fatherhood, and staying present• The biggest mistakes ultrarunners make in long races• How to balance business, family, and high-level training• Why they built Hyperlite differently (and what was broken in endurance nutrition)• The philosophy behind simple fueling: 100g carbs, 1,000mg sodium — done right• Building a brand that actually reflects trail cultureThis one is raw.It's real.And it's about more than just nutrition.It's about identity, resilience, and building something that actually matters.If you care about ultras, performance, community, and pushing your limits — this one will fire you up.Let's ramble on.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

In this episode, Stuart and Chip catch up with professional gravel and mountain bike racer Melissa “Mel” Rollins as she reflects on a transformative few years. Mel shares how she went from working as a chemist in a kidney stone lab to betting on herself, quitting her full-time job, and ultimately winning Leadville in 2024. She talks candidly about the mental side of that leap—dealing with pressure, redefining her goals after a dream result, and learning to see herself as more than “just” a Leadville specialist. Mel walks through her 2025 season goals (from winning a sprint finish to conquering singletrack), the crash that left her with two broken wrists, and how she came back stronger. The conversation then looks ahead to Cape Epic 2026, where Mel will team up with world champion Kate Courtney. She explains how the pairs format works, what it takes to race eight brutal days in South Africa, what she's learning from training with Kate, and how she uses process goals, preparation, and adaptability as her “superpowers” on race day. Along the way, you'll hear stories of long-distance love across time zones, tent camping in South Africa, mid‑valley community roots, and what it really feels like to chase big, scary dreams with your whole heart.

On this episode, Kathryn and Kristi catch up with Melisa Rollins and Kate Courtney from Kate's house in California where they were based for a training camp. This cycling power duo has teamed up to race Cape Epic this year, an eight-day stage race in South Africa. Kate and Melisa battled it out last year in Leadville at both the three day stage race, which Melisa won by less than 30 seconds over Kate, and the Leadville Trail 100 where Kate took the win and Melisa was second, both finishing in record-breaking time. They discuss how the respect they gained for each other as competitors helped bring them together to create a team for Cape Epic.
