Ferdinand Vogel ist der Race Director bei den Redbull X-Alps 2025. Diese Aufgabe hat mehr Facetten als man denkt +++ Die Redbull X-Alps sind der am meisten beachtete Wettbewerb rund ums Gleitschirmfliegen. In diesem Jahr 2025 müssen die Athleten per Hike and Fly einen Kurs von 1283 Kilometer quer über die Alpen absolvieren. So lang war die Strecke noch nie. Damit beim Rennen alles geregelt oder – besser gesagt – gemäß den Regeln abläuft, gibt es den Race Director. Seit der Edition von 2023 heißt der: Ferdinand Vogel. Aber was macht so ein Race Director genau? Das erzählt der 34-jährige in dieser Episode 162 von Podz-Glidz. Im Gespräch zeigt sich schnell: Die Aufgabe des Rennleiters hat mehr Facetten als man denkt. Das beginnt lange vor dem eigentlichen Rennstart. Von der Auswahl der Athleten über Sicherheitschecks der Route, die Definition von No-Fly-Areas bis hin zu technischen Vorgaben für die Bürzellänge von Gurtzeugen – überall hat der Race Director ein gewichtiges Wort mitzureden. Ferdinand plaudert im Podcast aus dem Nähkästchen und gibt tiefe Einblicke hinter die Kulissen der Redbull X-Alps. +++ Wenn Du Podz-Glidz und den Blog Lu-Glidz fördern möchtest, so findest Du alle zugehörigen Infos unter: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik dieser Folge: Track: Pienso Viento | Künstler: Casa Rosa Youtube Audio Library https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nT3lZ88Usw +++ Lu-Glidz Links: + Blog: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com + Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luglidz + Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luglidz/ + Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaBVs05CHDynzdlJlU34 + Youtube: https://youtube.com/@Lu-Glidz + Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lu-glidz + Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ZNvk83xxGHHtfgFjiAHyJ + Apple-Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/podz-glidz-der-lu-glidz-podcast/id1447518310?mt=2 + Linktree: https://linktr.ee/luglidz +++ LINKS zu Ferdinand Vogel: + Redbull X-Alps: https://www.redbullxalps.com + Website Ferdinand Vogel: https://ferdinand-vogel.de/ + Podz-Glidz 13 - Flybird: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/2019/08/podz-glidz-13-flybird.html + Ferdi auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ferdinand.bird/

Send us a textIn this episode, we detour off the main channel of the Mississippi River to get to know its longest tributary: the Missouri River. Our guide for this exploration is Steve Schnarr, Race Director for Missouri River Relief. We covered a lot of territory (like the Missouri River), so our conversation is split between two episodes. In this one, part one, we cover some of the basics of the river's geography, including where it begins and how long it is. Steve describes what we know of the ecology of the natural river, including where it picked up all the sediment it was so famous for. Steve describes the history of dam building on the Missouri River, why we did it, and how it impacted the Native American communities that lived along the river. We also talk about the hopes for commercial navigation on the Missouri River that just never seem to realize. 

“If I'm not good enough to get a golden ticket to get back into Western States, I'm probably not good enough to win the event.

In this episode, Luis is joined by Michael Salsbury and they chat with Hayden about, how he found out about Western States 100, his goal and vision for running Western States, running and winning 9 Trails, his involvement and relationship with Hoka, getting into Western States, how to plan for long races, crew strategy, embracing all the things the race throws at you, dealing with the media, what to do just days before the race, what to do on race day, and running strategies.

This year is the 45th running of the Columbus Marathon and it was great to catch up with the race director, Darris Blackford. He has run more than 200 marathons and other ultramarathons. I have been wanting to have Darris on since his wife, Star Blackford, was on Episode 3 of Weathering The Run. We chatted a lot about the ins and outs of race directing and then about his extensive experience of running through dangerously cold conditions along with running across Death Valley during Badwater. If you are interested in running the 45th Columbus Marathon, be sure to sign up before it sells out!

Harriet Frost is a force of energy, endurance, and entrepreneurial grit.  From completing the notorious Arc of Attrition 100-mile ultra twice, to directing multiple trail races, to co-founding a menstrual cup company focused on sustainable period care for athletes — Harriet is redefining what it means to pursue hard things, in business and on the trail. In this episode, Harriet shares her journey from growing up in Cornwall to discovering a love of endurance sport later in life — despite hating running at first. With no formal coaching, she's built her own training strategy based on experience, discipline, and gut instinct — and it's taken her to the finish lines of some of the UK's most brutal ultra events. We also dive into the founding of Sea+Flo, a period care company created by women, for women, aiming to empower people to better understand and manage their menstrual health during sport. Harriet speaks candidly about the mental strength required to train alone, run in the dark, and manage periods while racing, as well as her mission to bring more female voices to the forefront of adventure and endurance media. This is a conversation about grit, vulnerability, and showing up — again and again — even when the path ahead is long, muddy, and uncertain.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Thanks for joining us for another week of interviews, coaching tips and discussion.   It's IRONMAN Boulder 70.3 Central up in here! It seems like every day I'm bumping into another athlete who is registered to race Boulder 70.3. We have six athletes between us that are racing.    We will see all of you racing when you arrive at Boulder Res before the sun comes up.

Special shoutout to my athlete Gabbi, who will be competing in her first 70.3, and to Sasha as well!   The one word I'd use to describe how I feel is “ECSTATIC” which I think is a good mix between excited and static (think like electricity), supercharged to get gritty with you and our athletes this weekend!   Show Sponsor: UCAN UCAN created LIVSTEADY as an alternative to sugar based nutrition products.

What you do achieve everything you set out to achieve and nobody is impressed? We should take pleasure from our actions, rather from the results that come from them. When we celebrated Paul Hunziker's success and his marathon PR, we weren't focused on the outcome. Yes that was the PR was the click bait, but the interview there were more letters and words in “The Making of a” PR. The making is the point. The ambition should not be to win but to play with a full heartful effort.  TriDot Workout of the Week: Broken 300's   Welcome back to another segment of the TriDot Workout of the Week, where we break down a featured session designed to sharpen your edge and build specific skills that move the needle. This week, we're diving into the Broken 300's — a swim session that's as much about mental focus as it is about physical execution. “Broken” sets like this one force you to stay dialed in. You're not just logging meters — you're working precision, intensity control, and technique under fatigue. From Zone 4 intervals to strategic drill work and controlled builds, this set challenges your ability to switch gears, stay intentional, and swim with purpose from start to finish. So grab your goggles, shake off the autopilot, and let's break down what makes this workout so effective. First, "Broken" swim sets consist of one or more rounds of efforts totaling a specific distance such as Broken 300s. Each 300 effort may differ in intensity, technique, and/or number of rests within the effort. In addition to building fitness, these sets force you to maintain mental focus and be intentional with your intensity and technique. Main Set 2 x 150 @ Z4 (20 sec) 300 @ Z2 (20 sec) 2 x 100 Drill/Swim Choice by 50 (20 sec) 3 x 100 @ Z4 (20 sec) 300 Build to Z4 (20 sec) 2 x 100 Drill/Swim Choice by 50 (20 sec) 4 x 75 @ Z4 (20 sec) 300 @ Z2     Cool Down Balance of time @ Z2 and/or repeat warmup drills as time permits. That wraps up this week's TriDot Workout of the Week. Remember, Broken 300's are more than just a swim set — they're a test of your ability to stay present, stay sharp, and push through structured discomfort. As always, don't just get through the workout — get something from it. Train with purpose, and bring that focus to your next race or challenge. Okay Rich, it's now time for our NEW fun segment! Are you ready? Fun Segment: Limerick Lane! Welcome to Limerick Lane: Guess That Swim Word! — the game where I drop a swim-themed limerick with one key word missing, and it's up to you to guess what it is. These little rhymes may be fun-sized, but don't let them fool you — your swim knowledge and wit are about to be tested!     Game Instructions: Each limerick ends with a missing word that you have to guess. I will give one hint if you're stumped. Correct guesses earn you bragging rights… and maybe a virtual gold swim cap (or green)!   A triathlete swam in the bay, But panicked and lost his way. He stopped mid-course, And swam back with force, Using only his arms — no _____. Hint: What does a pull buoy do?   A coach with a stopwatch so fine, Shouted “Faster! You've got to make time!” With flip turns that stick, You'd better be quick, If you want to improve your next _____. Hint: Swim time.   A swimmer once started aghast, But found that her energy had passed. By lap number four, She could sprint no more, She'd fallen prey to going out _____. Hint: Classic pacing mistake.   He dove in with barely a glance, Ignoring the circle swim dance. He zigged and he zagged, The swimmers all nagged, And never gave sharing a _____. Hint: Good swimmers take turns in the lane!   Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!
