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? Press play and join our conversation with one of the sport's most authentic and exciting new voices.Follow Ali on Instagram - @ali_at_altitude Follow James on Instagram - @jameslaurielloFollow The Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod

The Golden Trail World Series athletes and crew landed in the United States for the two final stages of the circuit and another adventure in the West of the United States. We raced at the Pikes Peak Ascent in Manitou Springs (CO) where Remi Bonnet set a new course record, beating the legendary mark by Matt Carpenter that was set 30 years ago, and at the new Mammoth Trail Fest 26k in Mammoth Lakes (CA), organized by Tim Tollefson. Besides the races, it was great to share some days together with other amazing athletes and interesting people, in some of the most beautiful places we've ever been to. This episode is an inside story told by the athletes on their experience at Pikes Peak and Mammoth, extending their reflections to their 2023 season. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to everyone who has contributed to record this episode! Give all the athletes a follow on Instagram

Tim Tollefson is one of the most well known and accomplished American ultra runners in the world. Since signing his first pro contract 9 years ago, Tim has powered his way up mountains and varied terrain to stand on podiums all over the world, including the most competitive of them UTMB, where he twice placed 3rd as well as 2nd in the CCC. In addition to a long list of 1st place finishes, Tim is well known and loved in the ultra community simply for who he is as a person. Last year, Tim shared a raw and personal story of struggle, which I highly recommend you check out (link below) and he created and launched the first ever MAMMOTH TRAIL FEST (which happens to be smack in the middle of my favorite mountain range, Eastern Sierra).

Today we are diving in with YogiTriathlete's very own Liz McHutcheon, along with amazing photographer and filmmaker Leigh Orne of Heart Space Studio.  Leigh and Liz are good friends and runners who recently teamed up to document Liz's 2022 return to the Lake Sonoma 50 Mile after her first attempt in 2019. The film, "More Than Enough" debuted a few months ago at the Mammoth Trail Fest and has been making its way across the world of endurance sports steadily since.  "More Than Enough" shines a light on questions around worthiness, failure, and reclaiming success.  In this episode, we discuss: - storytelling - vulnerability and celebration - how to realize your passion - the backstory behind the movie - proving your worthiness through racing - DNF dark moments - water the seeds of your passion - capturing the epic moments  - scary moments of the filming - launching the film to the world  - being enough - detachment from outcome - show up as you are - follow your inspiration and it will happen Namaste- Jess
