David Filar ran across the state of Massachusetts and raised over $10,000 for Christmas toys to go to the UMASS Memorial Children's Hospital! That is what initially caught our attention but we also discuss his running background, the importance of growth outside the comfort zone, and his career of designing incredible shoes for some well known people!

They join us to dissect this complex topic in a three-part discussion: Defining the Pain Cave, Navigating through it, and Anticipating its arrival.

Tune in and illuminate your journey through the Pain Cave!

Last month, Jonathan Ladson, also known as Fogell Mcloving, ran the entire 91 miles of the DC area Beltway in just under 18 hours which beat the previous fastest known time (FKT) set by Michael Wardian. If that wasn't enough, just in 2023, Fogell set a 2:36 marathon PR at Boston, followed by a fourth-place finish at Big Sur two weeks later, and a stellar performance at the Comrades Marathon while fundraising for World Vision. While Fogell's talents are impressive, his joyful and transparent approach to his training are inspiring. Fogell shares how he finds joy and motivation, even at 4:00 am, and why we should all focus less on our performances and more on our experiences. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed talking with Fogell! Fogell can be found on Strava (he's a great follow), Instagram, and Facebook under the name Fogell Mcloving.

The World Marathon Challenge. Although non-trail, this has been an event that has stoked my imagination and inspiration. Join us as we welcome 2023 winners David Kilgore & Deirdre Keane, and prior winner Michael Wardian to offer a glimpse of this incredible adventure. We'll then hang onto Kilgore a bit longer to dig into his world a bit.

Episode 21 features my conversation with professional runner, Michael Wardian.  I met him in New York City at the marathon expo.  Just happened upon him at the Coros booth.  He was preparing to guide a visually impaired athlete to a marathon finish.  Mike shares stories from many of his epic adventures and races, including his transcontinental run earlier this year.  He discusses his passion for helping others achieve their goals and pickleball.  Come along for a great conversation about running and life!@mikewardian@worldvisionusa@achilles_internationalAchilles InternationalClean Water | World Vision

Joining us on this week's episode of Coffee with Closers is elite ultra runner Michael Wardian. Described as “one of the best-and maybe craziest-runners in the world,” Wardian discusses his recent life changing trek across America, which he completed in just 62 days, to raise awareness and funds for clean water access around the world. Having also run seven marathons on seven continents in just seven days, this endurance athlete tells us what challenges and opportunities he next wants to tackle in the future. 

No matter what distance you run (or want to run!), you'll be motivated by this episode featuring prolific pro runner (an aspiring pro pickleballer!) Michael Wardian. In a convo with Sarah and Coach Liz, Mike shares: -his excitement of pacing a visually impaired runner in the NYC Marathon;  -details of his recent cross-country (CA to DE) run;  -how he continues to find races that “light up” his enthusiasm; -parallels between running and pickleball; and, -how running an ultra can be easier than a marathon!    In the intro, the hosts talk about their kids' Halloweens, and Coach Liz recounts some interesting details about the recent Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.

Michael Wardian set out from San Francisco with the intention of running across the United States in 75 days. He covered the 3,234 miles, spanning 13 states and with 132,000 feet in elevation change, in only 62 days. In the process, he raised over $120,000 for World Vision's clean water initiatives, changing the lives of thousands of people.  In November, he'll be running the New York City Marathon as a guide, because, he says, “For me, one of the best things is crossing the finish line, but doing that helping somebody else is even better.” For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode322.   Thank you to Patreon, Allbirds, and Athletic Greens for sponsoring this episode.  Come join us on Patreon!

My guest today Michael Wardian has long been on my list of athletes I've wanted to converse with because he very well might be the new Most Interesting Man In The World. Beyond his running resume and achievements - of which there are many including running 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days (all under 3 hours), being the last man standing at the Quarantine Backyard Ultra during the Covid shutdowns (260+ miles in over 63 hours) and multiple world records...he also manages to carry a full-time job, a wife, 2 sons and multiple different hobbies and passions outside of endurance sports. Today, we attempt to unpack as much of it that we can, find out how he recovers so quick, how to get out of low moments during races, who he enjoys competing against and what's exactly in store for what may be his biggest endurance feat yet: running across America this May 1st from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean in a project called "Running Home". All to raise money for clean water projects to underdeveloped countries. + To Donate: https://bit.ly/3Mqx00W + YouTube Interview: https://youtu.be/aQu__82yDdg + Quarantine Backyard Ultra: https://youtu.be/loGR3Rh6fRE + Cooper Kupp: https://youtu.be/2I3CHKBcJbw + Sean McVay's Photographic Memory: https://youtu.be/IjlfQBQk_kg  ______ Patreon.com/BillyYang Instagram.com/BillyYangPod Twitter.com/BillyYang Facebook.com/BillyYangPodcast

This week Dave and Joe, Chasing Tomorrow podcast co-show hosts, have the pleasure of talking to Mike Wardian, ultra-running phenom. He has many records including the record for the fastest finishes in all six World Marathon Majors (2:31). He has won the US 50 km championship and the JFK 50 miler. Wardian won the Quarantine Backyard Ultra, running nearly 263 miles over the course of 63 hours without sleeping and he holds the record for the fastest 50K treadmill run. All while being an international ship-broker and a father of two. Simply amazing!

We are so excited to have Michael Wardian back in the house today; we first sat down with Mike in 2016 for episode 25, where we talked about relentlessly pursuing passion and pushing the limits of what has been made possible.   Mike is an international shipbroker, speaker, coach, business owner, dad to two boys and two vizslas, Rosie and Bash, and of course, a very well-known ultra runner, which almost feels too blah of a descriptive for this guy.  His resume on UltraSignUp dates back to 1998. Anyone who knows of Mike never seems to be surprised at his FKT attempts, robust race schedule, or solo adventures like his Guinness book world record attempt for the fastest known time for a marathon in a highland dress.  Still, I have to say, his win at last year's Quarantine Backyard Ultra was one of the most epic challenges I've witnessed, thanks to social media. It was a virtual race that started with over 2,400 runners from more than 50 countries. It ended over 60 hours later with only two runners left, Mike and Radek Brunner, who missed the start of the 63rd lap, making Mike the winner after 422 kilometers of running.  As I said, the resume is massive, and we're super pumped for you to listen in and hear what he is relentlessly brewing up for the future.  In this episode, we discuss: - winning the quarantine backyard in 2020 - FKT for the run across America - coming back from injury - injury as an opportunity  - grow incrementally and stay consistent - do weird things that you wouldn't normally do - limiting yourself because you don't want to learn something - mental game crossover of ultra running and chess - perspective on engineered nutrition for racing - pickleball training for a high altitude ultra - unique challenges of a graduate-level 100-miler - running on the moon Thank you so much for being so supportive of the show; if it has made a positive impact, please consider pledging on Patreon, where you will be assisting us in keeping the YogiTriathlete and Awake Athlete podcasts commercial-free.

Elizabeth Clor wanted nothing more than to qualify for the prestigious Boston Marathon. Dead set on achieving this goal, she found herself bound up in a vicious cycle of perfectionism and anxiety that thwarted her at every turn, despite making significant gains in her physical abilities over seven years. Most recently, she became injured after a cycling accident, and came back to running using a run walk run approach.

Welcome to the Perception Podcast, this is Tom Garrity.  We've had a lot going on here at The Garrity Group, but I wanted to share with you something that is off the beaten path … literally and figuratively.  Some of you know I am training to run the Black Hills Ultra Marathon 50 mile race with Team World Vision.  It is in South Dakota at the end of June.  As a part of the training and encouragement I had a chance to speak with World Record Holder and ultra marathoner Michael Wardian. Full TranscriptTom Garrity, The Garrity Group [00:00:01] It's. Welcome to the Perception podcast. This is Tom Garrity. We have a lot going on here at the guarantee that I wanted to share with you something that is off the beaten path, literally and figuratively. Some of you know, I'm training to run the Black Hills ultra 50-mile race for Team World Vision. It's in South Dakota at the end of June. And as a part of the training and encouragement, I had a chance to speak with world record holder. An ultra-marathoner, Michael Motian was gracious enough to share some insights that I think are also applicable in the world of public relations. And we'll tell you how at the end of the interview. Right now, picking up on Michael Wardian, talking about his background in running Michael Wardian, Ultramarathon Runner [00:00:50] qualified, ran the Boston Marathon, got hooked with running and then fell into Ultra shortly thereafter. I did my first 50-mile race in nineteen ninety-seven, so quite a few years ago. Then I've progressed through things. All ranked runners to international runners eventually earn my way through teams and been a pro athlete now for going on 20 some years. So, it's been it's been quite a journey from not even knowing how many laps are in a 400 to running for multiple days running across countries and representing Team USA along the way. So I've been really fortunate to have had the chance to, you know, take up a sport that I'm so into and passionate about and excited about. And I think the greatest thing, too, is just the chance to meet people along the way and do some good. And so I think that's what we're doing here. Tom Garrity, The Garrity Group [00:01:59] Outstanding team World Vision. How did you first get become aware of team World Vision? Michael Wardian, Ultramarathon Runner [00:02:07] And I'd say. I was probably I'd seen the logos and the shirts at some events. I feel like I may have seen team World Vision at Comrade's one year in South Africa. And then I was in twenty seventeen. I won the World Marathon Challenge, where you run seven marathons in seven days on seven continents and one of the prizes for winning that was you won fifteen thousand dollars. I think it was actually fifteen thousand euro donation to any charity of your choice. And in my professional life outside of running I'm an international broker. And so we work with like a bunch of private voluntary relief organizations, including World Vision ship, like bulk wheat and stuff to places all around the world. And then I'd seen the team, World Vision people, and I met some of them. And I thought, well, that would be a great charity. It'd be a two for one. Like, they do stuff up and running and they do stuff and in humanitarian food aid. So I was able to donate that check to World Vision and I kind of got introduced to Brian and Josh along the way. And then I was asked to be a part of the hood to coast relay. So that was that was really cool. And then I did some of the six ks for water locally. So definitely, definitely been, you know, a lengthy kind of journey with World Vision. I haven't got a chance to go to any of the mission sites yet. So that was something I was hoping to do when I ran comrade's. And it just hasn't happened yet. But hopefully that'll be coming up in the future. Tom Garrity, The Garrity Group [00:04:04] Outstanding. Outstan

Welcome back! In our new season's first episode, "Earth Day, Earth Year: Healing & Recovery" we look at ways to heal our planet while healing ourselves, personally and collectively. We feature ultra trail athlete Michael Wardian (about Earth Day 5K and healing for an upcoming 100 goal), Peter Maksimow (on Plogging and sustainability), and a special interview with writer/music therapist Bob Shea about Recovery Camino: "this year brings us back to nature for healing and the path(s) of recovery". In Bob Shea's interview, we approach the purpose of pilgrimage and the importance of connection (to our natural world and fellow pilgrims). As we seek recovery and healing for our planet in 2021, there is a parallel inner journey we can embark upon. Much like multi-day ultras in the running world, a walking pilgrimage is about movement of body-mind-spirit in unison towards a higher or common goal, which presents unexpected difficulties when we meet ourselves and our thoughts full force along "The Way". Reach out to learn more or register for free Summer Recovery as Pilgrimage training! Michael Wardian describes his journey of healing from an injury, and what slowing down during the pandemic has given him time for. He shares his philosophy towards setbacks/struggle, and why he always returns to the local (and virtual local) events, like Earth Day 5K put on by Little Sesame (in cooperation with planting new life by Casey's Trees) every year. Instagram: @mikewardian Peter Maksimow is a mountain runner, U.S. Team silver medalist and big part of the global PLOGGING movement: making a physical/mental effort to notice and respond to our earth while run/walking- by picking up trash and recycling. He's the founder of an intense PLOGGING group in the United States, and shares with us his own philosophy as a trail runner/environmentalist, about the key to sustainable growth of this community. Instagram: @petermaksimow FLIPPING THE TABLES: Lastly, I would also like to share this interview I did with RUN WITH LOVE, an ultra community podcast- which explains the practice of Walk/Running Logotherapy and Running as Therapy in general. I discuss some of the basics of how walk/running helps with recovery from addictions, trauma and loss, as well as granting a daily reprieve through habit formation (treating anxiety and depression). To heal our world, we have to begin with ourselves! https://runwithlove.com/podcast/32-mark-lane-holbert-running-as-therapy Please Reach out to us @RunningAnthropologist on Facebook or Instagram, blogsite www.runninganthropologist.com and via the RECOVERY CAMINO's website to register for our summer Pilgrims training: www.recoverycamino.com

Brian is an average Joe (he describes himself that way) who started running to honor his mother and set himself up to do the most incredible thing: run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days 'a la Michael Wardian' to raise funds for American Cancer Society. This is the story of how that came to be. I will be doing my part to help Brian and ACS by donating all the proceeds of my YouTube channel ads in January. Please consider doing your part too... so many folks cannot afford treatment in America, and with Covid, fundraising has declined tremendously. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this video on FB or Twitter, or text it to your friends... maybe someone you know can donate. Even the little things will help. https://instagram.com/runningwineguy Brian's personal fundraising page https://secure.acsevents.org/site/STR/DetermiNation/DNCY20NCR?px=30465532&pg=personal&fr_id=94969 Subscribe to the IRUNTHINGS youtube channel https://youtube.com/irunthings?sub_confirmation=1 Lifespan Treadmills https://lifespan-fitness.e9ppfh.net/NZBkV ✅ MORE FROM I RUN THINGS Instagram https://www.instagram.com/realIRunthings YouTube https://www.youtube.com/irunthings Twitter https://www.twitter.com/realirunthings Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/irunthingscommunity email suzierunsthings@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/irunthings/message

In 2015 Cole Crosby was running 250 laps on an indoor track. He was hoping to beat Michael Wardian's WR time of 3:06. With 8 laps to go, he drank a cup of Gatorade from his well-meaning father. That Gatorade was the poison. With 3 miles to go, Cole lost it. He lost everything in his stomach. He lost consciousness a few times. He lost his legs. He walked the last 8 laps and finished in 3:16.43. Along the way, he set a new marathon PR of 2:34. Casual like us Beast Coasters usually do, he's never run a marathon PR in an actual marathon. He's only run one marathon, after graduating from the University of Oklahoma, because all the guys were doing it. Since then, Cole has been tearing it up on the trails in the East. His goal when he began was to make a US team. He has met that goal a few times and recently represented the US at the World Snowshoe Championships in Japan. These ambitious training goals defined Cole's running for years. Then a pandemic happened and he did a self-evaluation. What was he running for? Why was he doing this? How could he use his legs for good, while having adventures and pushing his body to new limits? In this episode, Cole recounts his frequent fundraising and long runs during the pandemic. He explains what his motivations are now and the future he has planned. Ellie asks him about his three DNFs at Cayuga Trails and what finishing felt like. He shares what he's changed in his training and how that's improved his results. This episode is JAM PACKED! Don't miss out!

Michael was a Division 1 lacrosse player for Michigan State University and had the grand idea of running the Boston Marathon shortly after graduation. However, Michael had never ran competitively before. Naturally this made him unaware that you actually had to qualify for the race. In hopes for qualifying for the race he decided to run the Marine Corps Marathon. In his first marathon EVER, Michael qualified for Boston and ran a 2:54 in just his second competitive race. Years later he stands as one of the most decorated ultra runners around the world. He has the fastest average time for an individual who has run seven marathons in seven continents in seven days. He has won the 50km, 50 Miler, and 100km U.S. championship through-out his career. Earlier this year he ran the Quarantine Backyard Ultra where he accumulated 262 miles over the course of 63 hours and he did it off of NO SLEEP. He is sponsored by Hoka, T-Mobile and is a coach alongside other elite runners and coaches for Chaski Endurance Collective.   Outside of running he enjoys playing chess and like many of us he plays in multiple fantasy football leagues.   In this episode we discuss: How his running journey began How he stays healthy and the importance of strength training How he was able to push through in the Quarantine Backyard Ultra The power of a support group Self-limiting beliefs and why you should set big goals How he wants to run across the moon The importance of putting yourself into a position to fail   Accomplishments 2004, 2008, 2012 Marathon Olympic Trials Qualifier 2008, 2009, 2010 U.S. 50km Champion 2008 U.S. National 100 km Champion 2011 U.S. 50 mile Champion Fastest AVG time for 7 marathons 7 continents 7 days Marathon PR 2:17.49   Michael’s Sponsors | Hoka, T-Mobile   Follow Michael Warden on Facebook | Instagram

What an honor it was to sit down for a RunChat with the great Michael Wardian. Mike’s running resume is truly remarkable, excelling at seemingly any distance on any terrain. Mike’s also known for being super approachable and encouraging to all runners and there's no doubt why top brands like Hoka One One, T-Mobile, NATHAN Sports, GU Energy, and Polar support Mike’s adventures around the globe. Some of the things we touched on in this episode include: -What races/adventures still excite him -Some of his favorite Ultra’s around the globe -His proudest accomplishments -How much training is required for a first-timer to take on a 50K or 50M -His 7 Continents in 7 Days experiences (2017 & 2019, where he averaged a time of 2:45 -- not to mention running the ONLY sub-3 in Antarctica!) -Averaging 2:31:09 in the six Abbott World Marathon Majors in 2016 -Learning from mistakes -Clean eating and his seeming super power of RECOVERY We also discussed how Mike and Dan from Old Dominion Racing came up with The CannonBall Run/Ride Challenge concept and how we can promote that year long challenge (running/riding/trail running) better to help support Tommy Riv's family.

There is a growing trend surrounding the prospect of becoming “Fat Adapted” by changing diet.  Join Richard Diaz and guests Anthony Almada MSc, FISSN and Michael Wardian Elite Ultra Endurance Runner as we discuss the pros and cons of a high fat diet. Many Ultra Runners have experimented with high fat diets due to the claims that by doing so will enhance fat burning and carbohydrate sparing potential. This about face in sports nutrition goes against the grain of traditional sports science.  Anthony Almada is an expert in the field of performance nutrition and Michael Wardian, is a world class Ultra Runner whose performance depends on proper refueling before and during competition.  We hope to shed some light on this hot topic of “Fat Adaptation”.

An interview with Michael Wardian, Masters Marathon / Ultra-Marathon World Class Champion and Anthony Almada, an expert in the field of energy replacement during exercise. Join us as we unravel the secret of harnessing energy demands of an endurance champion. Everyone who trains or races beyond just a few hours is challenged by energy depletion, hitting the wall, or bonking.  No one knows this better than an Ultra Marathon Runner. Much less a Champion like Michael Wardian 5 time member of Team USA for the 100K World Championships and 3 time qualifier of the USA Olympic Trials with a personal record of 2:17:49.  Richard Diaz has invited these two professionals to share their knowledge on the topic of feeding and energy replacement during the long run.
