If you haven't thought much about power as it relates to your running, you're not alone. As runners, power isn't something that we often consider in our training. To help us understand power, we have David Roche with us today. David Roche is an elite trail runner, author, and running coach. He is a two-time USATF trail national champion and the 2014 Sub-Ultra Trail Runner of the Year. David publishes regularly in Trail Runner Magazine and wrote the book, The Happy Runner, with his wife Megan. He also contributed to our Little Black Book of Recovery & Prevention. Although the subject of power and mechanical output may sound daunting, never fear! David breaks down the concepts in a way that makes it understandable, approachable, and easy to apply to your running year-round. We discuss: The definition of power and mechanical output, both in theory and in practicality for runners Why power is a bigger limiter for non-elite athletes How most benefits of developing power come from very short work intervals Why maintaining power is your key to longevity in the sport The success of the Norwegian system using power development Five way to consistently improve your own power David is insightful and enthusiastic when it comes to discussing the technical aspects of running. You're bound to learn something new to apply to your own training!

Thank you DrinkLMNT! A big thanks to DrinkLMNT for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. They are offering a free gift with your purchase at DrinkLMNT. And this does NOT have to be your first purchase. You'll get a sample pack with every flavor so you can try them all before deciding what you like best. DrinkLMNT's products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. My favorite flavor is watermelon salt, but citrus salt is also a banger. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out DrinkLMNT to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack. Thank You AG1! We're also supported by AG1, the greens superfood mix.

She shares strategies to conquer this fear, emphasizing the importance of proper shoe selection, visualization techniques, and gradual exposure to challenging terrain. Join us as we explore the diverse facets of trail running, from the benefits of shorter distances to managing blisters effectively.

Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was just at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

The 'post-race blues' are a common and natural experience which most athletes will experience at some point in their journey. We need to talk about, normalise and understand them more in the running community to help people prepare and strategise for them in advance. This episode will help you to do that. www.robmason.run Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089043347091 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmasonruns/ Thanks to massage guru, 21 time Ironman finisher and owner of 'Float Om Kiama', Jamie Williams for the idea for this episode.

In this episode, Troy Meadows sits down with Doug Mayer to talk about his new book: The Race That Changed Running The Inside Story of UTMB. Doug is a journalist who has written content for Trail Runner Magazine, Ultra Runner Magazine, and Ultra Sign Up. In his former life Doug was a PRoducer on the NPR show Car Talks. He is also the founder of Run the Alps, a trail running guide service based in Chamonix, France, the place where Doug calls home. His location in France and a cultivated relationship with UTMB founders Catherine and Michel Poletti has given Doug unfettered access to tell the story of UTMB in an unadulterated straight forward way. His own personal experience, 100s of hours of interviews, and contributions from 16 professional athletes including Kilian Jornet, Jim Walmsley, Katie Schide, and Krissy Moehl makes him uniquely positioned to tell this story. We dive deep into the growth of the UTMB event, some of the changes that they have implemented over the years and the difference between the US Ultra Scene and the European one. Including Doug's little race that he directs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire the state were he grew up and his home away from Chamonix. Doug is no slouch either and has completed numerous trail running routes in his home state of Newhampure as well as completing all of the UTMB events as well as the Tor des Géants twice!

If you are an often-injured runner or if you just suffered your first injury that has put you on the sidelines after years of being a durable runner you will want to listen to this story to provide you the inspiration you need! Stefanie Flippin is a professional ultrarunner at lululemon, coach, and surgeon specializing in lower extremity injuries and has treated hundreds of runners in her career. Until it was her turn to be sidelined. We dive into the following and so much more in this conversation: - Why did Stefanie feel “Invincible” prior to her injury - The emotional toll of living through grief and training hard - Warning signs that an injury was brewing - Stefanie's first injury in 11 years - How Stefanie responded to the news she had a bone stress injury - What Stefanie did during her 8 weeks of recovery without running - What was the turning point in her recovery - Return to running and what it felt like - The misconception about suffering a running injury This conversation with Stefanie was raw, vulnerable, and human! As adult runners, we all go through low points in our life dealing with loss, feelings of regret, shame, and I hope this episode inspires you that you will come out the other side (like Stefanie did) with a newfound sense of gratitude and perspective. I hope you enjoy listening to Stefanie's story and apply it to your running journey “I will always be grateful because it gave me the chance to zoom out and have humility for the fact that we're all human, vulnerable and finite.” -Stephanie Flippin Listen to my previous episode on how to prevent foot and ankle injuries with Stefanie Links and Resources from the show: - Learn more about Stefanie and her coaching, writing, and speaking - Follow Stefanie on Instagram - Follow Stefanie on Facebook - Read Stefanie's column in Trail Runner Magazine - Listen to Stefanie co-host Making Strides Podcast - Download my free 6 Steps to Running Injury Free - Listen to my previous episode on why you don't need to stop running if you are injured Want Dr. Duane to answer your question on the podcast?

Joy is...Time.Nick Triolo is a runner, a writer, a writer about running. With a background in Environmental Studies, he is now senior editor for Outside Run and Trail Runner Magazine, whilst constantly exploring the boundaries of what it means to tell significant stories and how to use those narratives to advocate for the landscape that means so much to him.In attempting to compile the usual list of show notes, the more I typed, the more it felt like too blunt an instrument to distil the essence of the time that we shared. Ultimately, it was a conversation about conversation: how we can be present and co-create beauty in the world. I hope, perhaps, that this exchange is some small embodiment of that, and I now invite you to share it with much joy and gratitude in my heart.nicholastriolo.netMandorla 200The Crossing film: running 70 miles across Baja to stop a gold mine (Patagonia's Dirtbag Diaries episode on it) Bylines at Trail Runner and Outside OnlineMentioned: Agony and EnduranceLet's Get Promiscuous with our RunningFour Directions of Standing RockTalk Easy with Ke Huy Quan Hosted on Acast.

The February episode of Coach's Corner LIVE on Relay is out and it may have been our best one yet. Many Relay subscribers sent in questions about the mental side of running/racing and they were fantastic. Over the course of an hour we answered the following questions: "I enjoy running far, but am looking at making the leap from doing 50 milers as my longest ever distance to my first 100 miler in the fall. How do I conceptualize and build mental strength in training, knowing I'll be running twice as far as I ever have?" "How do I work on having the mental confidence that I can sustain my marathon effort for 26.2 miles when in training, I've only run 10-12 miles continuously at that same effort?" "I've struggled with race anxiety. I've seen a pattern when I go into a race with the plan to run the race as a workout, it takes the anxiety and pressure off and I end up running a great race. I don't seem to have too much anxiety when it comes to hard workouts. How can I work to switch my mindset on race day to feel confident yet relaxed?" "I had a tough race, and actually a handful of tough races in the past year. How do I build trust in myself again that I will have a strong race day up ahead? How do I build my mental strength back from a string of days that wore down my confidence?"

If you haven't thought much about power as it relates to your running, you're not alone. As runners, power isn't something that we often consider in our training. To help us understand power, we have David Roche with us today. David Roche is an elite trail runner, author, and running coach. He is a two-time USATF trail national champion and the 2014 Sub-Ultra Trail Runner of the Year. David publishes regularly in Trail Runner Magazine and wrote the book, The Happy Runner, with his wife Megan. Although the subject of power and mechanical output may sound daunting, never fear! David breaks down the concepts in a way that makes it understandable, approachable, and easy to apply to your running year-round. We discuss: The definition of power and mechanical output, both in theory and in practicality for runners Why power is a bigger limiter for non-elite athletes How most benefits of developing power come from very short work intervals Why maintaining power is your key to longevity in the sport The success of the Norwegian system using power development Five way to consistently improve your own power David is insightful and enthusiastic when it comes to discussing the technical aspects of running. You're bound to learn something new to apply to your own training! Thank You InsideTracker! This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker, one of the most reputable blood testing companies in the world. They were founded in 2009 by aging, genetics, and biometrics scientists to help you analyze your body's data and get a firm idea of how well you're responding to training. Understanding your body's biomarkers, from stress hormones to testosterone to Vitamin D, can help you figure out if you're over-training, under-training, optimally training, or if you have a health issue that might be affecting your running. But the best part is that they give you personalized optimal ranges for each of these biomarkers and a host of ways to improve these markers through diet, lifestyle, or exercise changes. I've gotten several Ultimate tests from them and the process is simple, easy, and very eye-opening if you haven't done a deep dive on your biomarkers yet. Of all the investments you can make in your running, this one is like getting a detailed checkup or regularly scheduled maintenance for your internal physiology. I scheduled another Ultimate test for myself soon and it'll be interesting to compare with the test I got in February. Get yours today! Thank You Athletic Greens!

Too often we mistake the terms "Trail Runner" and "Ultra Runner" as the same thing. They are not. In fact, running shorter distances can help us become better runners at any distance and better all around athletes. Coach David Roche joins The Nation to talk about the benefits of running the next 5k or 10k turkey trot and how it helps us physiologically and biomechanically. It actually might be a whole lot of FUN TOO! There are more people running ultras and especially longer ultras today. Are we moving to those longer distances too quickly? Is there benefit in running the shorter distances for a while before jumping into an event that takes all day? David Roche is a 2-time USATF trail national champion and 3-time member of team USA. He is also part of the power duo of coaches at SWAP Running, along with his partner, Megan. They also a great book, The Happy Runner: Love the Process, Get Faster, Run Longer (you can listen to our book review with Megan and David HERE).

Fall marathon season is here and races are right around the corner. With that in mind, Stefanie Flippin is here to help discuss the ways in which runners inadvertently sabotage their marathon training in the final six week before their race. Running a marathon is a challenge under the best circumstances. Conversely, It can be brutal when things don't go well. In this episode we share some of the things we've seen with our runners, runners we know, and our own experiences. Sometimes the best advice is what not to do and this is exactly what we provide in this episode. Stefanie is a top ultra runner and a USATF 100 Mile Champion. She is also a running coach with Lift, Run, Perform. This episode is also running on Relay - a Patreon bundle that features some of the best running content on the internet.

Sexy Science Corner! We dig deep on the studies and training theory of uphill and downhill running to draw some conclusions for how athletes can support long-term growth on all terrain. The big question: what is the best training approach to improve all-around running ability, including on steeps? We call it "the climbing paradox"--focus excessively on steep ups and downs at the expense of well-rounded training, and eventually an athlete may get a bit slower at everything. The rationale gets at some fascinating questions about physiology and what contributes to long-term growth for all runners. As you'll hear, it has been a VISION QUEST of a week. Thank you so much for your love and support in this time, and always. We appreciate you all! WOOHOO!

SCIENCE CORNER! A 2021 study had a fascinating finding: in some cases, overtraining may actually be the result of underfueling.

Steve has been running since he was in high school. After burning out and taking a 20-year hiatus he picked it back up when his children (now 30 & 26) got involved in middle school cross country which led him to HS cross country coaching for 5 years. Some injuries moved Steve off the pavement and towards the trails. Currently Steve is a real estate broker / auctioneer and the VP of the Indiana Trail Runners Association but has always made time to hit the trails and race. With a few hundred races under his belt Steve has some big accomplishments in his running career; 23 marathons with a Boston qualifier; 15 ultra marathons; 2012 Trail Runner Magazine's Trophy series winner just to name a few. Last year during a marathon trail race Steve fell and detached his right Achilles, had surgery in November and has been rehabbing since. Have you ever asked yourself what would I do if I could no longer run? That is what our guest, Steve Baber was faced with. Hear Steve talk about the highs and lows of not being able to run and rehabbing an injury for over a year. Steve talks about how embracing the trail running community gave him hope as he worked towards recovery. Steve also talks about what it is like to age in the sport of ultra-running. Steve has some good advice to share. We loved how candid and open he was. We think this talk will resonate with so many people.
Inspired by an article by Matt Fitzgerald in Trail Runner Magazine.
Guarina Lopez (Pascua Yaqui) is a visual artist and storyteller using photography, film, and writing to share stories of this Native land, the Indigenous people, and the environment. She works at the intersections of Indigenous sovereignty, land and water rights, and colonial abolition. Much of her work is raising awareness about Native history, culture, art, and law as a way to elevate Indigenous stories beyond stereotypes to ground them in contemporary life. Guarina is also a runner, cyclist, and mother to a long-haired skater boy. Discussed in this episode: --Guarina's letter in Trail Runner Magazine, and related discourse --Dinée Dorame on Social Sport --Hire Indigenous creatives!! --NYTimes article, "The Racial Bias Built into Photography" --White-centering of environmental movement --Injustice and power dynamics in the biking community --Women Run the Vote Relay 2021 --Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer Quotes: “What I was seeing from individual Native women cyclists, myself included, was that our relationship to the land was different from that of cyclists who are not Native. We have a different form of deference to the lands that we ride on, or ride with. I wanted to tell those stories.” -Guarina Lopez “It's not that we're not out there, it's not that we haven't been on bikes, it's that our stories have not been fore-fronted. Our stories have not been told. That makes me mad. We've been denied the opportunity to tell our stories.” -Guarina Lopez Follow Guarina and her work: --Personal Instagram --This Native Land Instagram --Native Women Ride Instagram --Yaqui Rain Runner Instagram --Modern Natives Personal Regalia Instagram --Call Me By My Name Project Instagram Follow Social Sport: Website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter Subscribe to the Social Sport Newsletter --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/socialsport/support

It's obvious that running is an aerobic-based activity, but the lack of focus and intentional training as it pertains to the respiratory system leads to reduced performance and sometimes even injury. In this solo cast, I discuss an article I wrote for Trail Runner Magazine, and I break down the importance of the mechanics, physiology, and state control of breathing and how to implement simple yet effective breathing strategies into your running routine. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drbeaubeard/message

Zoe fell in love with trail running, climbing and mountaineering while living in Boulder while attending the University of Colorado. She also writes, produces and hosts the DNF Podcast. “I'm here to challenge myself. I'm here to challenge our culture, I'm here to challenge the media. I'm here to challenge trail running because I fully believe it can be this amazing, inclusive, wonderful place that I sometimes see glimmers of and then it's just not all the way there.” –Zoë Rom In this episode we cover… The parallels between writing and running. The discipline behind both. [11:00] Helping push along the running industry in a direction that is more representative of what the sport is and what the sport wants to be. [23:00] “I love trying to find people who have been overlooked by or straight up passed over by our industry and try to bring their specific stories and voices too prominence by just, you know, either giving them a platform and like helping streamline their writing.” [33:00] Shared about how we can move toward setting aside our insecurities and egos and listening to other people's stories. Journalism is amazing and impactful but what Zoë does is write less about like facts more about raw stories from experiences. “Facts never change anyone’s mind, but it’s very hard to discount other humans lived experiences.”[49:00] Resources + People mentioned Zoë’s Instagram Zoë’s Website DNF Podcast “Beating the Boys” article Thank you to Momentous, Tracksmith, and InsideTracker for sponsoring this episode.

Athletics, exercise, and physical health have made appearances in previous episodes. Specifically in episode 2 I talked with Benson Langat, who is an elite runner and therapist. Then in episodes 9 and 10, I talked with Zoe Rom, Associate Editor of Trail Runner Magazine and Lizzie Kasparek, registered dietician, respectively on running, body image, nutrition, and fitness. We wade back into these familiar waters again in this episode as I am joined by Amanda Cadwell. She is a professional mental health therapist with a specialization in sport and performance psychology. I love it when I am able to bring multiple passions into one conversation and that is exactly what Amanda and I were able to do throughout this chat. Amanda is an athlete herself, playing team sports throughout her youth, culminating with playing collegiate fastpitch softball. Now she is a coach for her daughters softball team and continues to push herself athletically through weightlifting. She recently completed her specialized training in sport psychology and has begun working with athletes to support their mental health and improve their performance. Amanda emphasizes the importance of focusing on purpose and process in sport and in life. She shares specific tools that she uses with athletes to manage the stress of performance and stay focused. Whether fitness and athletics occupy a large or small space in your life, Amanda shares many valuable insights and approaches to Sharpen Your Mental Game.

On today's episode, we interview Zach Altman (@zach_altman), mountain athlete, photographer, and all-around badass. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in Geology in 2015, he wrapped up a field course in the Himalayas in northern India then headed straight to Montana in his minivan to pursue life as a creator and mountain athlete in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. In July 2017, Zach and two other friends laced up their running shoes in Bozeman and headed for the mountains. Seven days and 240 miles later, they arrived in the small community of Red Lodge after traversing the Gallatin Range, the northern range of Yellowstone, and the Beartooth Absaroka Wilderness.Through this experience Zach co-produced a documentary film, authored several articles, including a feature for Trail Runner Magazine. Zach and his friends recently received the Keep It Wild Award from Montana Wilderness Association for their contributions to public lands advocacy.This work launched his career as a storyteller, but is also followed with another set of adventures: building a tiny house with his partner and committing to doing the difficult inner work around healing past trauma, being a supportive husband, creating healthy boundaries, and learning to fully love and accept oneself.If you like the show, be sure to subscribe and review, and follow us on social @bodiesinmotionpod.

Zoë Rom is the Associate Editor of Trail Runner Magazine, host of the DNF podcast and an outspoken advocate for environmental justice. She has a Master’s Degree in Environmental Journalism from the University of Colorado and has a deep passion for our public lands. Zoë lives, plays, and works in the mountains of Colorado. She has a firm belief that access to outdoor recreation should be equal for all. At the same time, the negative impacts of industrial development should not be weighted on certain racial or income groups. In today’s episode, we dive into many topics such as institutional negligence, equal access, and the fight for justice. Zoë has numerous suggestions on how you can get involved – everything from individual food choices to the support of organizations that are doing meaningful work.

A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. They’re also offering free product: just pay for shipping and you can get their sample pack including 8 packets of citrus, raspberry, unflavored, and orange salt varieties. Elemental Labs’ products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite and I’m drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It’s tasty and delicious and I find that I’m not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn’t eating enough sodium. There’s now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you’re worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out Elemental Labs to try their sample pack for free and get your hydration optimized for the upcoming spring season.

The outdoor industry is focused on pretending that's not our problem when it absolutely is… To me, any conversation on environmentalism that does not include justice and does not include equity and does not focus on the most vulnerable among us, is going to fall flat.” “Investing in industries that develop rural economies, rather than just extract from them, is a great way that you can engage with outdoor spaces.” Follow Zoë: Instagram Twitter Follow Social Sport: Website Instagram Facebook Twitter *This episode is sponsored by Paper Trails Greeting Co.

The Well Mind welcomes Zoë Rom to episode 9 of the podcast. Zoë is an athlete, journalist, an Associate Editor for Trail Runner Magazine and is the host of DNF, a podcast focused on telling stories of failure in running and in life. In her podcast, she talks with everyday runners and some of the most successful elite trail runners in the world about their failures. She believes that the greatest stories and opportunities for growth come through failure. We explore this topic and so much more during our conversation. Zoë shares her desire to spot light narratives that aren't typically front and center, so that she can support people in telling their stories to a wider audience. We dive into topics and themes related to mental health, anxiety, body image, and the environment. We also explore how to buffer ourselves against the negativity, fear, and criticism of the world and our own mind.

Finding your strong isn't always easy, but if you're familiar with SWAP Coaches David and Megan Roche, you are probably familiar with their infectious optimism. David and Megan are both coaches of their company, SWAP- Some Work, All Play that David founded in 2013. The powerhouse couple coaches some of the top trail runners and obstacle course athletes in the world. Their coaching speaks for itself with over 17 US National Championships won, athlete appearances on Team USA 14 Times, Spartan World Champions, and more. "For us, it's all about finding your strong. We want athletes to really embrace the athletic strength-based nature of being an endurance athlete. What that means in practice is that everyone's strong looks so different. So you can't go on looks, you can't even go necessarily on what you're seeing in the mirror because that is so distorted. And it's not analogous to anything with performance or growth or anything. What we really want is someone to be "Ok, I want to be a boss! I want to be strong!" And that's how you eat, that's how you train. What we're there for is supporting that with gentle affirmation that you're enough as you are, you are perfect the way you are and things like that, but then also coming in with science. " -David Roche Megan is the 2016 USATF Trail Runner of the Year at the ultra and sub-ultra distances. She is a five-time national champion, a North American Mountain Running Champion, and a six-time member of Team USA. She graduated from Duke University with a degree in Neuroscience and received her M.D. from Stanford Medical School. At Stanford, she is doing a PhD in epidemiology, focused on population health and genetics for athletes. Megan started coaching with SWAP in 2016 with the premise that she could help athletes learn to love the process of training, embrace their inner ninja, and recover using a Taco Tuesday approach. David is the 2014 USATF Trail Runner of the Year at the sub-ultra distance. He is a two-time national champion and three-time member of Team USA. He graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Environmental Science and received a master's degree and law degree from Duke University. He also is a writer for Trail Runner Magazine. The two also wrote a book, the Happy Runner. I had David on the podcast once before going all into their book. David and Megan's book really resonated with me because it's about being a happy athlete. This year, the couple started the SWAP podcast which happens to be one of my favorites. This episode is packed with energy, fun, and great learning about secrets to happy coupledom, eating lots of food, self-acceptance, how to deal with quitting, death, talent and so much more! David and Megan's message to you is: YOU ARE SO LOVED AND PERFECT JUST AS YOU ARE. YES, JUST AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. AS YOU ARE READING THIS. AND AS YOU GROW AND CHANGE, YOU'LL BE PERFECT TOO. THIS IS ADDIE DOG TALKING. But David and Megan agree with this statement 10000%. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!

We all have multiple identities - Mom, brother, friend, scientist, comedian, bowler, runner, writer, etc. Some of these identities come by choice, by chance or forced upon us. They may change over time too. We are the sum of these identities. They help us learn and grow. We should celebrate them in our own lives and within those around us. One of the best parts of trail running is to learn about the identities of others on a run. In this episode we talk to Kim Strom. We learn about some of her identities: Running model (appearing on the cover of Trail Runner Magazine more than any other person) A Photographer A Writer A Trail Runner Her newest identity - cancer patient Check out this collective: alpsinsight.com Photo Swiss Alps and by PatitucciPhoto
Zoë is a podcast host (see link in her CV below), has graduate degree in Environmental Journalism, and could be a public speaker - you should listen to this one!

It's not enough to just enjoy what we enjoy, we must become mindful consumers." And her insights on technical FKTs is a must listen: "I have a higher tolerance for exposure than I do for choss ... as long as it isn't moving underneath me, I'm OK."

The obesity-related death of his mother was a wakeup call to young, overweight Jeffrey James Binney. He could continue down the same path, or he could change his fate. And so he started running. And running. And running. All the way to the grueling Leadville 100 ultramarathon. Jeffrey’s film Once is Enough chronicles his journey from couch potato to ultramarathoner. Fueled by grief and the desire to write jokes, his film is part documentary, part standup, and definitely unique! Jeffrey and Coach Claire tackle such interesting subjects as why on earth he set his non-athletic sights on doing a 100-mile ultramarathon, how he trained, his plant-based lifestyle, and the scourge of blisters and chafing. If you like your motivation served with a side of laughs, this episode’s for you! Jeffrey is a Salt Lake City based actor, singer, comedian, and "athlete." He grew up on a farm in Laredo, MO before moving to Brooklyn, NY and later Los Angeles after receiving his B.F.A. in Musical Theatre Performance from Missouri State University. Jeffrey has been seen on Late Night With David Letterman, in the 1st National Tour and Chicago Company of the Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and at comedy clubs and festivals across the country. Questions Jeffrey is asked: 5:22 The reason I wanted to have you on the show is because I saw your film Once Is Enough on Amazon Prime this summer with my family. I subject my kids to a lot of documentaries and this is one that they actually liked! Can you tell us a little bit about the movie and why you wanted to make it? 6:42 While sitting in the hospital waiting room, you happened to pick up a copy of Trail Runner Magazine. What happened next? 7:54 Most people don’t go running a 100-miler basically off the couch, let alone the Leadville 100. What were you thinking?!?! :) 9:51 What was it like running the race under-trained and overweight? That must have been a huge challenge physically for you. 11:20 Don’t you have to qualify for Leadville? How did you get into Leadville? 12:26 What was your typical training week like or how did it progress over your 14 months of training? 13:51 How did you change physically through training? 15:23 Speaking of nutrition, you and I have a couple of things in common besides our gorgeous red hair. You and I are both plant-based! How did that fit into your training, your nutrition? What kind of things were you eating? 18:26 Most people think, “Oh, you’re on a plant-based diet. That means that you’re only eating twigs and potatoes and you’re going to be super thin, and clearly that’s not always the case for everybody, right? 19:17 Without giving away too much from the film, what kind of lessons did you learn? Just going through it and the whole filming and making a beautiful movie? What kind of lessons? 20:26 Do you think anybody can do this? 21:03 I would like to talk about the ultra running community. It’s kind of a special group of some very strange and wonderful people. Would you agree? 23:20 The aid stations are much better for ultrarunning, right? 23:40 I would love to talk about gear, like what kind of gear that you were using. 24:19 Do you still wear a bro? 24:49 Every ultrarunner, every runner, has to deal with chafing obviously. How do you deal with that? 26:58 There’s a point in the movie where you talk about your blisters that you had, and how did you deal with that? You look like you were in some serious pain there. 28:10 You manage your blisters better nowadays when you get them? 29:10 What kind of misconceptions have you come across in your running journey? When you started this, you had so much optimism about what this was going to turn out to be. What changed throughout your journey? What things were you surprised about? 31:21 What’s next for you? Are you still running? Obviously, COVID, there’s not a lot of races on the horizon, but what are you doing? 32:36 Some of the smaller trail races are still going on in person, so maybe there’s something you can sign up for that you could actually do in real life. 33:07 You’re still being coached by Ian Sharman, or are you on your own? 34:09 Questions I ask everyone: If you could go back and talk to yourself when you started running, what advice would you give? What is the greatest gift running has given you? Where can listeners connect with you? 36:08 Any new films on the horizon or was once enough? Quotes by Jeffrey: “I just went on a hike a few years ago with some friends to one of the taller peaks here in Utah. I was getting to the top and I was really beating myself up because I just could not keep up with them. And I finally got to the top and I was like, ‘Why are you beating yourself up? You have 100 lbs on all of these people. You don’t come from a lifetime of fitness other than five years.’ And you’d think after this whole journey that I’ve been on that I would be able to keep that in better perspective, but there’s still time like that when I still have to check myself.” “I never considered myself particularly outdoorsy. I certainly didn’t consider myself tough. And it turns out I was wrong. It turns out I am way, way stronger and tougher than I realized.” “Most of the time I was running 20-plus hours per week on top of a full-time job. It’s literally a part-time job.” Take a Listen on Your Next Run Want more awesome interviews and advice?

Zoë Rom had a great birthday this year. She woke up and set out to run the 17-mile, 5400' ascent to Capitol Peak. Capitol Peak is one of the infamous "14ers" (peaks in Colorado over 14,000' elevation). It is a class 4 climb that is rated "high" in exposure, rockfall potential, and Route-finding. It is also know for the "knife edge" near the top. She had a good day and ended up setting the supported FKT in 5 hours 37 minutes. Zoë is also the assistant editor at Trail Runner Magazine, runner, climber, coach and host of the new Trail Runner Magazine in-house podcast called DNF. We talk to Zoë about her FKT and about how DNFs are successes that propel us to become better. Check out Zoë's coaching website Photos by TJ David

Coree comes onto the podcast and chats all things Eco Challenge, The World's Toughest Race Fiji. Specifically what it was like to be part of Team Onyx, whose mission in the race went beyond the race experience itself. The team was participating with a purpose to represent the African American, as well as the LGBT community. The team comprised of record-holding ultramarathoner, Coree Aussem-Woltering, skilled ultra-endurance mountain biker Samantha Scipio, former Navy SEAL and Crossfit gym owner Chriss Smith Jr and former Div.1 NCAA football player and filmmaker Mikayla Lyles. Leading this team of trailblazers was seasoned adventure racer and former Marine Clifton Lyles. We discuss how the team formed, how they prepared for the challenge, what was their team strategy - considering they only met one before the race, and how was their experience. It truly is a masterclass in leadership and teams. Fast forward to 2020, Coree, has had his entire race season cancelled and decided to channel his fitness and passion into a fastest known time attempt on the Ice Age Trail. It is a historic footpath which runs through the state of Wisconsin, US. It took him 21 days, 13 hours, 35 minutes to run the 1,147 miles -- smashing the previous record by some five hours. It wasn't smooth sailing and Coree talks about the challenges and the fundamentals of focusing on 10 seconds at a time as a way to endure the hardship. At the same time he has raised over $50,000 to support small businesses in his community & those negatively affected by Covid-19 Coree is as much known for his Speedos and positive attitude as he is for his stand-out running ability. His coach once told Trail Runner Magazine he's never heard Coree make an excuse, and if he could bottle up Coree's work ethic and perseverance and sell it, he'd be a billionaire. Coree began his running career with the 400m and 800m distances, which he ran from middle school through college. He was en route to becoming a professional triathlete, when he discovered ultrarunning. Coree and his husband, a professional skydiver, live in Ottowa, Illinois (#CornfieldCowboys). Coree champions diversity in the outdoor world so that everyone can find a role model who looks like them. He is keen to break stereotypes in adventure sports.

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." - Mae West This week we are chatting all about the adventure documentary "Once is Enough" with ultrarunner, filmmaker, comedian and super awesome dude Jeffrey James Binney!!! A few weeks ago I watched Jeffrey's film on Amazon Prime and was captivated by his ability to capture everything I love about endurance sports- from the often hilariously weird aspects to the heartbreaking, inspiring, uplifting reasons people push themselves to the limit. It is presented in a really unique format as it bounces back and forth from his hilarious one man show, standup routine pointing out the bizarreness of a 100 mile race to a more serious, emotional one on one interview digging into his why as you watch him transform from non-runner to ultra marathoner. The logline for the film perfectly sums it up: "After losing his mom to obesity-caused heart disease, a 32 year old husky ginger comedian and vegan son-of-a-pig-farmer sets out to lose 100lbs and run one of the world's most difficult 100 mile ultramarathons...and lives to tell jokes about it." While sitting in the hospital, Jeffrey picked up Trail Runner Magazine, read an article about Leadville 100, thought "that sounds like a good idea" and then had the boldness to go chase his dream. The movie is phenomenal and I absolutely loved chatting with Jeffrey for the show!! Be sure to check out "Once is Enough"!! I promise you that you will love it!!

At Nature Unplugged we're all about wellness in the digital age. And, a big part of wellness is movement. We know that with the rise of screen time and tech use often comes more sitting and a more sedentary lifestyle. Movement is key and running is one of the most simple and accessible ways to get wonderful movement. But here's the thing about running, on the upside it's a great way to get exercise with minimal gear and hassle required. On the down side, it totally sucks. At least that's how I used to feel about it. So, how do you feel about running? Do you love it, hate it, or somewhere in between? In this episode we have the opportunity to speak with Lisa Jhung, author of her latest book ‘Running That Doesn't Suck'. We explore Lisa's favorite tips and practices for changing your relationship with running (even if you think you hate it). SHOW NOTES: Bio: Writer, editor and author Lisa Jhung has written two books on running: Trailhead, the Dirt on All Things Trail Running (VeloPress, 2015), and her most recent, Running That Doesn't Suck: How to Love Running (Even if You Think You Hate It) (Running Press, 2019). She's been writing about running and other outdoor, adventure, and endurance sports for almost 20 years. She's been an editor at Trail Runner Magazine, a contributing editor to Runner's World, a special projects editor to Backpacker and now manages the trail running content for PodiumRunner and Women's Running. She also regularly contributes to Outside Magazine and others. She's based in Boulder, Colorado, where she runs mountain trails, but fell in love with running (for real) on the beaches of Del Mar, CA, where she grew up, and Santa Barbara, where she went to college. - Lisa's Website: http://www.lisajhung.com - https://www.velopress.com/books/trailhead/ - https://www.runningpress.com/titles/lisa-jhung/running-that-doesnt-suck/9780762466726/ - https://www.podiumrunner.com/collection/trail-running/ - https://www.womensrunning.com/collection/trail-running/ CREDITS: Intro and Outro Song: The Soft Pack - Mexico

In this conversation we discuss the evolution of running shoes from the over-built (heavy) sneakers of the late 80’s and 90’s to the Minimalism Movement that swept through 10 years ago giving rise to shoes like Vibrams and Newtons to the carbon plate technology of Nike Vaporfly and Next% hitting the shelves today. Plus brands like Hoka, Altra, and On-Running that stand out from the competition with their unique design concepts. You will also hear some tips on how to choose the right shoe for you and why it is wise to have a “quiver” of shoes to rotate during training.

I'm really excited about today's guest, David Roche. I feel like he is a kindred spirit, especially after reading his awesome book, the Happy Runner that he co-authored with his wife (who is also an incredible human), Megan Roche. Author is just one of the hats that David wears. He started his own coaching company in 2013 called SWAP - Some Work, All Play where he and Megan coach some of the top trail runners and obstacle course athletes in the world. Their coaching speaks for itself with over 17 US National Championships won, athlete appearances on Team USA 14 Times, Spartan World Champions, and more. David is also well accomplished as a runner as a two-time national champion, a three-time member of Team USA, and was Sub-Ultra Trail Runner of the Year in 2014. He also is a writer for Trail Runner Magazine. If that's not enough, he is also a former lawyer. David and Megan's book really resonated with me because it's about being a happy athlete. We talked about important topics like sport as a celebration instead of a measuring stick of how good of a person you are, we talked about having a healthy relationship with results, we talked about how to have more self-acceptance, and even contemplating mortality. I think you'll get a lot out of this podcast feel like you're walking, running, or riding away with your cup and your heart more full. Topics Discussed in the Podcast removing pressure with authenticity (as a writer and an athlete) getting away from looking at achievement as a benchmark for success Imposter syndrome how to cultivate more self-acceptance Dissociating with results how to view competition in a healthy way positive affirmations and mantras to help you enjoy the process more viewing the human as a whole when it comes to coaching why training more hours won't necessarily make you faster fun stories about some of the athletes he coaches Listen Now Resources SWAP Running Website Follow David on Twitter Follow David and ADDIEDOG on Instagram Get the book: The Happy Runner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Support the Show If you would like to support the growth of my show, I'd love your contribution on.

Trek and Trail 9: Ultrarunning Get lost in the endurance sport of Ultrarunning by explaining how it works, what gear you need, and where you can go to get lost racing it. What the heck is Ultrarunning? You might be familiar with some very popular marathons like the Boston Marathon, the New York City Marathon, and Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC. All of these races are limited to 26.2 miles. Some consider a runner who runs multiple marathons to be an Ultra Runner. However, the be considered a true ultrarunner -- especially by those that consider themselves ultrarunners -- you need to go beyond the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. And in most instances, take your ultrarunning off-road and into the wild. Ultrarunning has many names: endurance running, ultramarathoning, ultra trail running, and even beyond marathon running. Whatever you call it, Some consider a runner who runs multiple marathons to be an Ultra Runner. However, the be considered a true ultrarunner -- especially by those that consider themselves ultrarunners -- you need to go beyond the marathon distance of 26.2 miles.

Whatever you call it, Ultrarunning has many names: endurance running, ultramarathoning, ultra trail running, and even beyond marathon running. Whatever you call it, ultrarunning is essentially the sport of competing in events with courses measuring 30, 50, or 100 miles in distance. As the distance increases, the number of finishers dramatically drops off. Many try to compete in these events, but due to the extreme distance, ultra running has one of the highest DNF rates in endurance sports. Far higher than other extreme races like the Ironman or XTERRA triathlons. In fact, some ultra running events like the Barkley Marathons 100 Miler are so difficult, they have seen entire races suffer a 100-percent did not finish (DNF) rate. Not all 100-mile ultra races are created equal, but most are so hard that you are required to show proof that you completed shorter races (30 to 50 Not all 100-mile ultra races are created equal, but most are so hard that you are required to show proof that you completed shorter races (30 to 50 milers) to even register. This makes the world of ultrarunning and ultra racing a special sub-culture of runners that are unique among endurance sports athletes. The key to ultrarunning is the ability to be resilient and just keep going even when the going is painful. While there are a lot of positive people running ultras, complete with smiles and happy faces, it takes a very determined individual to push through the tough times that running a big Ultra can produce.

Overview: David Tosch has an accomplished career as a business leader in the dental laboratory industry and as an ultra-marathon and endurance runner. He is also the founder of a company that creates shorter and longer distance trail runs, including ultra endurance trail runs. In this episode we talk about breaking audacious goals into shorter, more achievable goals. David’s Biography: David Tosch is an accomplished business leader, and ultramarathon runner. He credits his start in distance running to a time in junior high school, when he realized that to be a distance runner in track he didn’t have to run fast. He attended the University of Texas system, graduating from the Univesity of Texas at Dallas Cum Laude with a degree in accounting. He ran his first marathon around the 1979-1980 timeframe and in 1980 he founded Tosch Laboratory, Inc. (Dental Laboratory) in Dallas, Texas, and later moved the lab to Birmingham, AL. His list of marathons and ultra endurance runs is extensive, including multiple 100 mile endurance runs, such as The Pinhoti 100,The Leadville 10, the Wasatch 100, the Tahoe Rim Tiral 100, The Rocky Raccoon 100, the Grindstone 100 and the Hardrock 100. He has also participated in numerous Ironman events and even had the opportunity to run with Bill Rogers in 1980. David is the founder of Southeastern Trail Runs and the Run For Kids Challenge, which raises money for Camp Smile-A-Mile. Show Notes: People may not realize what they can truly accomplish in life and by setting a series of goals along a path to an overall stretch goal they may be able to reach new levels of achievement. David shows people how to do this by creating a series of runs, starting out at 5k at the beginning of the trail running season and going all the way up to 100 miles at the end of the season. From a business leadership standpoint this may be thought of as creating a series of SMART goals to achieve stretch goals. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. David discussed the need for runners to think about safety when planning their trail runs and consider some of the safety requirements that go into it. Lessons may be drawn from this and compared to High-Reliability Organizations (HRO).

David describes techniques and how he “tricks himself” to help him achieve his long term goals when the runs get to their hardest points. 29:09-Randy takes David’s advice and makes the connection to achieveing safety or quality goals, such as an ISO certification. 29:40-Randy asks David, “If you could be granted one wish for your outlook on charity, personal development, or limiting beliefs what would it be?” David describes his desire for people to be better stewards with national parks and trails.
