In this episode of the Happy Cast, hosts Stephanie Leake, Dylan Rueff, and Andrew Marvin sit down with ultra runner Steph Smith, who has taken the trail-running world by storm—by running 100-mile races in Crocs. From her early days as a marathoner to her first ultra, Steph shares how she discovered her love for endurance racing and why traditional running shoes never quite worked for her. After experimenting with barefoot running and minimalist sandals, she made the switch to Crocs and has never looked back.We dive into the mechanics of running in Crocs, the modifications she's made (including adding rugged Vibram soles), and how they compare to traditional running shoes. Steph also shares her experiences at races like the Badger 100, Midwest States 100, and Tuscobia Winter Ultra, where she's tested the limits of both herself and her unconventional footwear. Plus, we discuss the ultrarunning community, the importance of race traditions, and the mental strength it takes to keep going—whether you're running in Crocs or not.Beyond the gear, Steph talks about the camaraderie that keeps her coming back to the same races year after year. She shares stories of bonding with strangers on the trail, the unique challenges of winter ultras, and the magic of smaller looped races where every runner, fast or slow, becomes part of a shared experience. We also touch on the problem-solving mindset that ultrarunners develop—whether it's troubleshooting blisters, adjusting nutrition, or deciding to run in something completely unexpected.Be sure to subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen, and we always appreciate you leaving a good rate and review.

Jill and Chris met Brenda Bland in the Becoming Elli Facebook group and knew she should be on the podcast. Brenda Bland is an endurance athlete who has been running, hiking and biking most of her life. She took up running longer (for fun) in the late 90's while helping her teenage daughter get more fit and healthy. Running her first ultra in 2003 at age 44, Brenda has run dozens of ultras all over the US, which is one of her favorite types of road tripping. Brenda considers herself an average runner and has worked hard to build and maintain her health though diet, physical and yogic exercises. During a long journey of varying degrees of joint pain, GI issues as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder, she continues to research better ways of having a longer HealthSpan than is currently thought possible. As Brenda continues to grow in her 60's, she plans to keep enjoying the great outdoors as long as possible. During this podcast we discussed: Running the Leadville 100 at the age of 50 Completing the 80-mile self-supported Tuscobia Winter Ultra sled pull at the age of 62. Fat Ass style runs solo mountain hiking in Colorado How she trains for all these events - exercise and fueling Better ways of having a longer health span What motivates her More information at www.becomingelli.com
