It's race week for me with the Fierce Dragon Frozen Toe 100k on Friday, Jan. 16, 2026. You can follow along here - https://hardassevents.info/tracking/t3/runnerTrac.php So I talk about doing this race for the love of running and enjoying the process. Before all that, I discuss some reminders in training after taking time off and what we can expect (or not expect) from the super compensation effect.  Thanks to all who commented on the last Episode "Giving Yourself Grace". That means a lot that it hit home! Thank you!

Well we're in it now! Misogi 1 - Adding a mile a day for December has already started. Follow along and make fun of me for my suffering on Strava (see below to follow me). A misogi is defined as "In its modern interpretation, the "Misogi Challenge" is a personal, radically hard, and uncomfortable physical or mental feat completed once a year to build resilience, test limits, and promote self-discovery." - Google Search   I've also entered into my first race of the Rocky Mountain Grand Slam.

In this episode, I chat with another runner I coach named Teresa Bowser. This is a beautiful and inspiring story of melding passion with compassion. Teresa came up with a 100-mile route in Western North Carolina with over 20,000' of vertical gain to create an FKT and raise money for the Girls on the Run organization. She's almost reached her goal!

Another big episode with lots of show notes!  We start with my interview of Dr Ben Gans and his amazing journey through the Triple Crown of 200s (Tahoe 200, Bigfoot 200, & Moab 240). We go deep into the challenges he faced in this series of races. I loved this conversation! Then I dive deeper in to the metrics of running and how they can affect your base training period.  Lastly, I interview my daughter, Ambrin Saft, after she completed her Freshman season of Cross Country.

This is the 2nd time Mike has been on the podcast. Check out his 1st podcast with me here - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-69qr9-161c0c4 I enjoyed talking to Mike about what makes him tick and how he got through the Mammoth 200 without crew or pacers. I always enjoy talking to Mike. He is humble and well spoken. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I do.  After our conversation, I dive into noting strength discrepancies and mobility issues in your strength training and how that can help us stave off injury.  Feel free to send in any questions or comments.

Continuing with #'s 14-21 from the article - https://www.inc.com/peter-economy/21-super-effective-habits-of-highly-successful-people/91101433 Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside. This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn't stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside. The cruelest part? No one really prepares us for this. As children, we are fed stories of resilience wrapped in neat, hopeful endings—tales where pain has purpose and every storm clears to reveal a bright horizon. But adulthood strips away those comforting illusions. It teaches us that survival is rarely poetic. More often than not, it's about showing up when you'd rather disappear, smiling through pain no one sees, and carrying on despite feeling like you're unraveling from the inside out. And yet, somehow, we persevere. That's the quiet miracle of being human. Even when life is relentless, even when hope feels distant, we keep moving. We stumble, we break, we fall to our knees—but we get up. And in doing so, we uncover a strength we never knew we had. We learn to comfort ourselves in the ways we wish others would. We become the voice of reassurance we once searched for. Slowly, we realize that resilience isn't always about grand acts of bravery; sometimes, it's just a whisper—“Keep going.” Yes, it's exhausting. Yes, it's unfair. And yes, there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. But every small step forward is proof that we haven't given up. That we are still fighting, still holding on, still refusing to let the darkness consume us. That quiet defiance—choosing to exist, to try, to hope—is the bravest thing we can do." Keep moving forward!
