Takeaways Mental training and sports psychology play a crucial role in ultra running, helping athletes overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Coaches should focus on the holistic development of athletes, caring about their well-being and personal growth, not just their race results. Self-awareness and understanding the different parts of oneself can help athletes make better choices and perform optimally. High-risk races, such as 200-milers, have gained popularity in recent years, attracting athletes seeking unique challenges and experiences. The mindset and approach to training and racing can evolve over time, influenced by personal experiences, interests, and goals.

Isabella Janovick was born in Oceanside, CA and grew up doing team sports (basketball and swimming) then later got into extreme sports, snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding. After breaking her back snowboarding at the age of 19 and almost being paralyzed, she switched to a “safer” sport - running. Isabella began to run local road races and in 2014 met Nickademus Hollon at an outdoor bootcamp. Nick had just launched his coaching business and Isabella was one of his first clients. They ran together often, he introduced her to the trails and the ultra world and in 2015 Isabella ran her first ultra, the Lake Hodges 50k. This same year Isabella was also diagnosed with Ménière's Disease, which causes hearing loss, imbalance and vertigo.  Isabella aka “IzzyB” continued to grow with the sport, increasing her mileage and  started her own running club Ultrabuds. In 2016 she raced her first Spartan, and usually participates in 1-2 races a year in between ultras.  Professionally Izzy owns her own marketing and communications company where she works with running brands and race directors such as Injinji, Spring Energy, Nathan Sports and the Endurance Race Series, to name a few. She is also a Professor of Marketing part-time at two universities and advises senior experience projects.  When Izzy isn't running or posting on Instagram, she spends quality time with her family in both San Diego and Idaho, husband and two rescued pitbulls Dally and Romanoff.  More from me @hilsport55 Go to www.athleticgreens.com/TRWP to get 5 FREE travel packs and one year supply of Vitamin D!  Check out oladance headphones at www.oladance.com/trw and use discount code TRW20 for 20% off!  Get free shipping on any order from Goodr at goodr.com code TRW

We have a very special anniversary episode for you today with Chad Trammell and Matt B. Davis.  We start the episode with Chad Trammell who you may remember from episode 1 (if you have been listening that long) where we talked about his World’s Toughest Mudder win in 2015. In this episode we talk about his 2016 performance where he teamed up with Robert Killian to take a shot at Tough Mudder’s $100,000 bonus for winning AND reaching 100 miles. Chad shares with us the difference in running alone as well as with a team, and talks about his impressive 100-mile finish. Unfortunately, one team beat them out with 105 miles, so they didn’t get the $100,000 but Chad said it wasn’t about the money to begin with. It looks like Chad is looking to go back to WTM 2017 and will be joining Heather and I at L.A.’s Toughest Mudder in March. For the second part we have Matt B. Davis who was on the show before in episode 22.  Having Matt on was especially important to us because he has been a major contributor to the success of this show. He also talks to us about his upcoming Tough Guy race. If you have seen Rise of the Sufferfests: A Documentary you will know exactly why Matt is a bit intimidated by this race even though he has been racing for years. You can hear and read more from Matt over at Obstacle Racing Media. This episode is sponsored by Lucky 13 Coaching with Nickademus Hollon.

In this episode I talk to Brian Lohr the owner of All Day Ruckoff and Charity Challanges.

So he createdAll Day Ruckoff that helps you prepare to do a ruck event. He shares with us what a ruck event is, how you know if you are ready for one, and why should take the plunge into rucking.  After some time with All Day Ruckoff he set out with his buddy to start Charity Challanges. It started from a pull-up challenge and grew to a business that's donated almost $50,000 to Team RWB and The Green Beret Foundation.  This episode is sponsored by Lucky 13 Coaching with Nickademus Hollon.

For those out of the running jargon loop, an F.K.T. is the acronym for a “fastest known time” event. Generally orchestrated by a few brace souls who develop an event never run before to establish a record.  Running a trail race that has never been attempted comes with a great deal of risk. Getting lost, being in inaccessible terrain for extended periods is very dangerous and not for the meek.  Join us as we invite Charlie Engle back to share the exploits of his and Nickademus Hollon's attempt at the Sea to Sea Ultra F.K.T. project, an Ultratrail running event of over 140 miles of unforgiving terrain.www.naturalrunningnetwork.com

Yancy Culp is an internationally recognized OCR coach with an all-star cast of Elite Spartan Athletes in his stable. It was great fortune for Coach Richard Diaz, his “Posse”, Miguel Medina, Nickademus Hollon and his wife and long time running mechanic Lori Diaz to converge in Austin Texas to put on their ever popular Off Season Running Clinic. It was a great experience for all in attendance, many who partook in A VO2max test administered by Coach Diaz, running fundamentals and a real time technical trail running clinic directed by Nick Hollon, world renowned Ultra Trail Runner and Elite Pro Spartan Miguel Medina.  Post event, Yancy Culp and Richard Diaz discuss the importance of honing running skills in the off season and how running influences the sport of Obstacle Racing. www.naturalrunningnetwork.com

The 2015 World's Toughest Mudder set the bar high for team participation. With a $100,000 carrot held out for the team that could cover 100 miles in the allotted 24 hour deadline. It was an interesting race and with the best attempts from the top teams, the money remains uncollected. There was a new course champion crowned and some interesting developments unfolded as the teams broke apart, some retired opting to stay with the team, others pushed on in hopes of personal glory.  Our featured guests, Miguel Medina and Nickademus Hollon, were in the thick of competition and share their inside views of the race as it unfolded for them. They also offer some professional insights as to how one should approach this event, it's a great interview with two great OCR athletes.

Running for 205 miles in 76 hours through the Alps with a collective elevation gain of over 80,000 ft., is no simple task.  Being the only American to podium in this death defying race, for now, is reserved for only one man, Nickademus Hollon.  Join Nick and Richard Diaz as they discuss the upcoming Spartan World Championships, the World's Toughest Mudder and other adventures reserved for only those with the endurance, grit and strength to consider such undertakings.

Episode 146- Nickademus is returning to World's Toughest Mudder to avenge his DNF from last year. He is also bringing Joe Decker with him.

Listen in to learn how Nick put his team of ultra runner badasses together. He also talks about how the hell one paces appropriately to win a 120 mile race, how horrible conditions at previous ultra experiences pay off for him, what he thinks about "The FastPass" for WTM frontrunners, and much more.

Episode 109 - As one of a handful of Barkley Ultramarathon finishers in the world, ever, Nickademus Hollon entered WTM with tons of respect from the OCR community. Many were considering him a contendor to win it all. In Episode 107, we had a nice chat where he talked about how his massive ultramarathon training experience could really benefit him in a race like this. He ended up with only his 2nd ever DNF. We talk to him and find out what happened. Amelia Boone missed the Spartan World Championships and the OCR World Championships as she chose to have major surgery about 3 months ago. Her return to World's Toughest was also her return to the top as she was crownded champion again.

Nickademus Hollon is young and fearless. Having just placed 2nd in arguably one of the most grueling Ultra-Marathon Races in the world, the infamous Tor des Geants (The Tour of Giants) is evidence.  We have him live to tell his story. The Tor des Géants (205 miles of running through the 4 steepest mountains in Europe) is the first and only race to combine long distance with the individual style of runners: the organization does not impose any compulsory stages, and the winner will be the runner who completes the race in the shortest time, making his or her own decisions on when and how long to stop for rest and refreshment. The maximum time allotted for completion of the race is 150 hours.
