In this episode, Zoë and Brendan sit down with Tommie Runz (@tommie_runz): plant-based athlete, podcast host, father, and (accidentally?) ultra-endurance legend. Tommie didn't grow up running, but after choosing sobriety in 2017, he found clarity, purpose, and eventually, a new identity in the miles. We trace his journey from gym rat to six-star marathon finisher to taking on The Speed Project solo—six ultramarathons in six days across the desert, with no prior experience beyond 26.2. He opens up about recovery (physical and emotional), the myth of “rock bottom,” and how a surprise video from his kids mid-race broke him down, and gave him the strength to keep going. Also: vegan aid station food, the case for trekking poles on pavement, and whether road ultras are actually super hardcore.  Thanks to our partners at LMNT – A tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything you need and nothing you don't.

It's been a minute. I recap my trip to Florida. Despite my absolute love for where I used to live, I realized this week I can't go back. But, it will be a nice place to visit. Running on a beach is not what I remembered and it is dang hot. I've signed up for the Big Bend 20K in January, which will be an adventure. Just catching up.

In this episode, Jamie has a conversation with Joe Barrett, a fellow ultra-endurance athlete from New Jersey who also has Parkinson's disease. They became friends last fall when Jamie saw a post from Joe about how he had attempted to run the Moab 240, one of the toughest ultra-distance running events in the world. Though they have never met in person, Joe and Jamie share a lot of commonalities that are highlighted in this conversation. Both Jamie and Joe have Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) and share a passion for extreme endurance challenges like Ironman, and ultra-marathon events. In this conversation, they discuss their experiences participating in these events. They talk about the mental challenges they faced during these events and the importance of positive mindset and perseverance. Joe highlights the importance of a positive mindset, supportive friends, and finding the right doctor to help navigate the challenges of living with Parkinson's disease as a young active person. Joe expresses his determination to face challenges head-on, both in his running endeavors and in dealing with Parkinson's disease. He believes in the power of mindset and the importance of perseverance in overcoming obstacles.

Gentlemen, we are privileged to have not one but TWO incredible human beings with us today. My guests are an inspirational father-son duo, Travis Macy, and his father, Mark "Mace" Macy. For those that don't know, Travis and Mark are legendary endurance athletes. Travis has finished more than 130 ultra-endurance events in 17 countries. And his Dad, Mace, spent thirty years competing in Colorado and around the world in ultra-endurance competitions and is one of the few who have finished all eight Eco-Challenge events. Their secret? The Ultra Mindset - a relentless determination that refuses to bow to any obstacle.  When Mark was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Travis and his Dad decided to take on the challenge of Eco-Challenge Fiji together - a grueling seven-day, 400-mile marathon of trekking, climbing, biking, and paddling through the jungle - for one final race together, to prove that anything is possible with family by your side. In their new book, A Mile at a Time, Travis and Mace weave together excerpts from Mace's passionate personal journals alongside a first-person narrative by Travis, telling the story of their incredible journey and what they learned along the way. Their story is one of courage, determination, and above all, love. It's a reminder that in the face of adversity, the ties that bind us give us strength and much more. In our conversation, you'll learn: Strategies for fostering resilience and mental fortitude. How to cultivate a sense of unity and teamwork within your family. How the “Ultra Mindset” can help as you juggle between training, family, and mental health. Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: The deep bond between Travis and Mark and their shared love for endurance racing. Choosing love, happiness, and hope. How to fight for your family's future and enjoy quality time in the present.  The benefits of exercise and being in nature has on your mental health. Embracing adversity as a catalyst to greater resilience and self-assuredness. Mace's mantra, “It's all good training.” Insights for those dealing with Alzheimer's.  The comfort of having someone besides you who'll always have your back.

Marcus Smith is a renowned ultra athlete and coach who recently helped 2 of his athletes set the UK Backyard Ultra Records for male and female, with showings of 89 hours (370 miles) and 35 hours (145 miles) respectively. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. While training to set a cycling world record in 2018, Marcus had a nearly fatal collision with a truck that resulted in a shattered shoulder, 7 broken ribs, and punctured lung. Rather than embrace a victim mindset, Marcus took control of his recovery, placing gratitude and intention at the forefront of his lifestyle, and continued living life to the fullest as evidenced by his seemingly never-ending string of accomplishments. Take us on your long run to listen as we chat with Marcus about what he has learned, the 4 principles of The Ultra Mindset, and how you can incorporate his training secrets to dominate your next Backyard Ultra. Be sure to follow him on Instagram at @mjd_smith and check out his website at www.mjdsmith.com where you can find the book list we mention in our discussion.

When she was 19, Pam Chapman-Markle was told cancer would take her life within 6 months. She beat cancer. Whatever came her way in life, she chose to take circumstance and make the outcome conform to her will. When she discovered ultramarthon running, she already had the mindset to keep going, no matter what. She's run some of the world's toughest ultramarathons and isn't finished yet. 

Sure Travis Macy wrote the book "The Ultra Mindset", but he is so much more! I loved the energy Travis brought to the conversation. His exuberance can be found in whatever he does. His list of athletic accomplishments range across a variety of sports and I could not begin to do him justice in listing those here. His love for his family and care for his father really struck a chord with me. I strive to be what Travis embodies, and that is a loving father, son, athlete, and everything else he does with the conviction and passion that is driven by his love for life and others! Thank you for this conversation Travis! It meant more to me than I can express!   MR Runningpains (Aaron's) information: If you'd like to learn more about Patreon or to donate, please visit https://www.patreon.com/MRRunningpains My Socials, Channels, & Newsletter: https://www.facebook.com/MRRUNNINGPAINSEVENTS/ https://www.instagram.com/mrrunningpains/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ6J512qA34z_N0KJSU4jfw https://www.strava.com/athletes/18431982  To sign up for my Newsletter -https://www.mrrunningpains.com Email - runningpains@gmail.com Thanks to all of you for listening!

Roles shift on this unique episode when mountain biking and adventure racing legend Rebecca Rusch interviews Travis about his book, The Ultra Mindset. This interview was part of last year's Basecamp cycling program: www.joinbasecamp.com (use code REBECCA50 for $50 off this year's program). For free, public rides on Zwift this winter with Rebecca, check out https://www.joinbasecamp.com/ridewithliv; Travis will try to ride most of these, too.

Middle of October, I was glued for 4 days to a Facebook Live stream from Bell Buckle, Tennessee, following Big Dog's Backyard Ultra, one of the craziest ultra trail running races in the world.Different from a traditional start to finish race, “Big's” does not have a finish line. Instead, all race contenders must start a loop of the course at every full hour. If they manage to get around the 6.7056 km / 4 miles 880 feet long loop in less than 60 minutes, the remainder of the hour can be used for resting, refueling, running to the toilets, or even sleeping. The race winner is the participant, who manages to complete one more round than the second last contender.For Morten Klingenberg, aka Løbetossen / Run Crazy, the trip from Denmark to the Big's Backyard Ultra World Championships was a big step up to the world stage and only his second race outside of his native country.As a trail running enthusiast, albeit a slow one, I couldn't have been more excited getting Morten on the show, talking about running with the “big dogs,” and developing the ultimate ultra mindset.For complete show notes, all relevant links and more cool content, go to Life-Sparring.com

Possibly the most recognizable of all ultrarunners, Dean Karnazes is a California-based athlete, author and speaker who has recently released A Runner's High: My Life in Motion, an excellent read full of stories, humor, and reflection. The book discusses the Western States Endurance Run (WSER), a prestigious 100-miler that happens this Saturday, June 26. Dean wrote the foreword for Travis' 2015 book, The Ultra Mindset. Join Dean and his son, Nicholas, as they talk with Travis and Mace about WSER, international ambassadorial runs, the intersection of family and endurance racing, and more.

This is episode 51 of The Betar Project with special guest Marcus Smith.Marcus is a former professional rugby player who has played all over the world. He is now the owner of Inner Fight Gym in Dubai. In 2018 whilst on a training bike ride Marcus was hit by a truck at 65kmph. He talks about the moment where he had a out of body experience and that he could have easily given up. I asked him why didn't you die? His response was  "I wanted to live more then I wanted to die and when you want to live that much you are just willing to fight". Which he did for hours before finally reaching a hospital and with hours and hour, thousands and thousands of repetitions he rebuilt his body. It is truly incredible what Marcus has done since the accident from 30 marathons in 30 days to running a trail race on the Vulvic Volcano in France just 4 months after the accident. If you want to gain an Ultra Mindset this is the guy to learn from. I was truly honoured to have Marcus give up his time to come on the podcast and I hope you listening will learn something from it.If you enjoyed please tag this episode in your socials and give a 5 star rating/review on iTunes.   Want to find out more about Marcus: Instagram: @mjd_smithDocumentary: Fight for Every Breath (YouTube)Support the showConnect with Nick:Instagram TikTok YouTube

What do we do when we can’t figure things out? What do we do when things get hard in life physically or mentally? Some of us deny it’s happening and try and continue as normal. Others give up. Neither seem to solve the issues we face. To get through, keep going and reach our goals we must have a solid decision making process, a formula for success……welcome to the ultra mindset! I was not dissimilar to the two options above in that when I came across adversity I would try and black it out, pretend it was not happening or in a way just give up thinking that “it’s not for me”. When I entered my first ultra and failed I knew this mindset had to change so I went on a journey to figure out a decision making process that would help me in tough situations in many areas of life. I share the process in this show in the Ultra Mindset. I hope it’s useful for you. No Weakness. Marcus Insta: What do we do when we can’t figure things out?

Ultrarunning father & son Travis & Mark Macy were excited about the return of  Eco-Challenge Fiji and planned to race - Travis on a younger competitive team, Mark on team "Stray Dogs."  Plans changed after learning 66-year-old endurance racer Mark Macy was facing Alzheimer's.  He’d won the grueling Iditashoe 100-mile snowshoe race and competed in 9 Eco-challenges - but this race would pose a special challenge, but also unique rewards.  Joe De Sena, a veteran endurance racer himself, trades tales with Travis and Mark about eco-challenge and about their last meeting when we interviewed Travis about his book "The Ultra Mindset."   LESSONS Make time for family Sometimes the risk of avoiding the challenge is greater than the risks the challenge poses.

This week I am very excited and honored to welcome back life long mountain athlete, endurance coach, adventure racer, ultrarunner, family man, and all around incredible human being Travis Macy!! He's on the show to share all sorts of stories, wisdom, and inspiration as part of Team Endure in the most recent Eco Challenge, the monumental multi-day adventure race across Fiji. Not only was this race epic in all sense of the word but it also holds a special place in his heart since he experienced it with his father Mark, a legendary veteran endurance racer who was recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. Watching Team Endure on Amazon's "World's Toughest Race" was emotional, touching, inspiring, and completely empowering. Travis and his dad have a special bond and it was really refreshing to these two and their team take on this adventure. They truly embrace the concept of endure, pushing forward with a positive attitude despite any obstacles thrown their way, both in racing and in life. Watching their race, listening to Travis, embracing the Ultra Mindset will leave you empowered and I sincerely hope that's what you take away from this podcast. Thanks for listening!!

Travis Macy is an endurance athlete, adventurer, mountain hunter, coach and the author of the excellent book "The Ultra Mindset." When it comes to taking on incredibly difficult events in the mountains, there's only a small few with the experiences Travis has. He's competed in a variety of endurance events all over the globe and in 2013, he set a record for the Leadman, the iconic series in which racers compete in all Leadville ultra-endurance races over the course of one summer. Whether it's running, biking, paddling, snowshoeing, ski-mountaineering, or orienteering, Travis has done it all. He's also an incredible coach who uses his excellent philosophies to guide all sorts of athletes to success. Using his many adventures, Travis is able to express his stoic mindset better than almost anyone I have ever met. "The Ultra Mindset" is exists and is authentically created by anyone who is willing to push their limits, both physically and mentally. On this episode we chat about this mentality. How does adventure help develop it, how does one elevate these lessons in life outside of racing, and why is a fellowship with nature so important? We also hear about his recent adventures taking on the epic Grand Traverse ski from Crested Butte to Aspen and how his partner pushed through after breaking his elbow. Travis also shares a bit about his experiences hunting with and filming an episode of Greg Mchale's Wild Yukon. Can't wait for you guys to listen! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Also, truly make sure to check out Travis's book "The Ultra Mindset". It is a wonderful combination of adventure stories, overcoming adversity and reflections on the lessons he learned along the way. Definitely, one of the best ultrarunning books out there!

Take a run with Nathan Sanel, a 50 year old ultrarunner from St. Johnsbury, VT. In this episode Nathan and Sherpa discuss the ultra mindset, most pointedly discussing the art of facing, accepting, and overcoming adversity to not just accomplish your running goals, but your goals in life. Nate and Sherpa have a long history together that spans more than a decade, and they share some of their more memorable stories as well. 

I first met Travis Macy over a year ago when we did our first podcast together. Travis is the author of The Ultra Mindset and has spent the better part of his life competing at the highest level of various adventure races and extreme competitions. He was just getting into hunting at the time but […]

We hit the Enchanted Forest Trail outside of Golden, Colo., with adventure racer and endurance coach Travis Macy. Macy is a longtime endurance adventure racer who has participated in more than 120 events across the globe. In 2013, he set a new course record for the Leadman race series. In 2015, he published his first book, The Ultra Mindset.

Scott Lehman discusses his upcoming return to the Leadville Trail 100 this summer following a failed attempt at the same ultra marathon last year. He specifically speaks about how significant the mental game is for athletes and how he has found some new strategies to work with this time around.

Finisher of over 120 ultra endurance events in 17 countries, Travis Macy is a speaker, author, coach, and professional endurance athlete. He is the author of The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life, and he set a previous record for Leadman, an epic endurance event consisting of a trail running marathon, 50-mile mountain bike race, Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race, 10k road run, and Leadville 100 Run, all above 10,200' in the Rocky Mountains. Travis lives with his wife and two young children in the mountains around Evergreen, Colorado. A former classroom teacher with a Master's degree in Education, Travis works with his speaking and consulting clients in advance and tailors his interactive, engaging talks to individual audiences according to best practices for teaching and learning. Along with his consulting team, Travis leads executive retreats for high-performers in Colorado and around the world. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/executiveathletes/support

On this week's episode of the podcast I got the opportunity to chat with endurance coach and mountain athlete Travis Macy. Travis is an experienced adventure athlete who has participated (and won) a wide variety of events . He's competed in elite adventure races all around the world, 100 mile ultra marathons and ultra endurance mountain biking events. He is also the author of the Ultra Mindset one of the best books I've read about motivation and mental techniques that will not only help you be successful as an athlete, but will be useful in your everyday life. In this episode, we chat about how he embraces the Ultra Mindset. We also touch on a wide variety of topics like hunting, parenting, adventure racing and how he survived Leadman (competing in every ultra endurance event in Leadville, CO in one summer). If you enjoy this episode check out Travis's website for information about his coaching and be sure to read his excellent book the Ultra Mindset. Thanks for listening!! (P.S.- My computer messed up and accidentally deleted the last 15 minutes of the conversation....I'm super disappointed this happened and spent the afternoon trying to get it back....Super bummed because Travis is such an interesting guy and shared such amazing advice.....On the plus side, this might mean I'll have an excuse to hang out with him again!)

When it comes to ultra-distance racing, what is more important: Grit or fitness? Endurance athlete Travis Macy chats with Drew about what it takes to overcome challenges on the trail, and in life.

Travis Macy is best known as the record-setting champion of Leadman—“a sort of six-week Grand Prix of Ultra Endurance” that consists of a jaw-dropping number of challenges. This book is a fun look at the eight principles that make up the Ultra Mindset Travis uses to do extraordinary things. Big Ideas we explore include: Your new mantra, what to do when you don’t feel like it, thinking about thinking, making the choice to give up choice, and never quitting… except when you should quit (w/a great litmus test for when you should/shouldn’t quit).

Welcome This is the New Year's Eve special and we have and we are closing out the year with a return guest, elite triathlon coach Jim Vance to talk about his book Triathlon 2.0.  We'll get into the interview setup in just a few. Welcome to Episode #106 of the Mile High Endurance podcast.  Mile High Endurance is your weekly connection to coaches, experts and pro athletes to help you reach your endurance and triathlon goals.  I'm your host Rich Soares and I'm glad you are joining us for another week of endurance interviews and discussion.  Bill is with family this week and Khem is in Nepal and on excursion to Everest base camp and can't wait to hear about her adventures.

Last week's guest Thanks to last week's guest, ultra and adventure racer Travis Macy who is the author of The Ultra Mindset: an endurance champion's 8 core principles for success in business, sports and life.  If you haven't heard the interview yet, go back and check it out on episode #105. Discussion Teasers After the interview I'll have some thoughts on the interview with Jim Vance, his book Triathlon 2.0, considerations for the self-coached athlete, and an offer to those who want to take their training to the next level or feel like they could use the partnership of a coach this season. I also have some reflections on some of the show highlights this year and some of the interviews that were particularly memorable and informational. Last, I have a funny Christmas triathlon gift story and a ask to see if any of you have good triathlon or gear Christmas stories that you would share. That's it for the teasers, let's go to the interview. Interview Setup Jim Vance is an elite endurance sports coach, author, and sport technology and training consultant based in San Diego, California. He is the personal coach 2016 US Olympic triathlete Ben Kanute, guiding him to 2017 performances of victory at Escape from Alcatraz and Island House Triathlon, as well as a 2nd place finish at the 70.3 World Championships. Triathlon 2.0 is an extremely useful book if you are a self-coached athlete.  It will help give you concrete information on how to use data to do baseline testing, guidelines for determining goal training stress, and concepts for how to create a periodized training plan. After the interview, we'll go through a couple pages of the book to give you a practical example of how to determine goal CTL for each the bike and run using an hypothetical athlete and race distance.  As Jim emphasizes in the book, these will just be examples and do not apply to all athletes or all race situations. Let's get into the interview now. Interview Jim Vance Health IQ Ad And we are back.  Thanks again to Health IQ for sponsoring today's interview.  The Health IQ advantage is their unique mortality model that enables lower rates for health conscious people.  Just like having a good driving record saves you money on auto insurance, Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and more. With other life insurance companies, you might be penalized for family history, BMI, and other attributes but don't get rewarded for your health conscious lifestyle.  You put in the time to train consistently, have the discipline to get out there in the cold, in the dark, you eat well, and you get the rewards of greater energy, and you feel good about yourself.  Let's face it, you spend money on race registrations, gym memberships and gear.  See if you can reward yourself further and recoup some of those investments. See how much you can save. To see if you qualify, get your free quote today at healthiq.com/milehigh or mention the promo code Mile High when you talk to a Health IQ agent. Host Discussion Topics Practical example from Triathlon 2.0 As Jim and I discussed, there is no substitute for using hard data to assess and measure performance.  This is not to say that there is not a time and place for training or racing by feel.  I'll give you a couple of examples.  I like to do some rides and runs where I never look at a bike computer or look at my watch.  If I'm thinking about the data on my device, that part of my concentration that is on the device is not on the effort or form of the training itself. In this case performance might be limited by not being able to fully concentrate on the training. Here's another example, there are times with the information on the screen might limit your performance because you curtail effort because the data is telling you are going harder or faster than your rate of perceived exertion.  Let's say your 5 minute peak power is 300 watts from previous training sessions.  You are doing a 5 minute Vo2 max effort on the bike and you look down and your average 20 second power has been 310 for the first minute of your interval.  You may not believe you are capable of carrying that effort for the remaining 4 minutes and end up backing off.  If you were training by feel and just going off RPE, you actually may have been on a breakthrough performance and could have achieved a new PR 5 minute peak power.  My daughter's high school cross country coach won't let the athletes race with watches because it can limit their competitive nature.  The concern that they may be in the heat of battle keeping pace with a team mate or a lead group, and they see that their pace is 10 seconds faster than they've trained to and they back off and let that team mate or group go. So there is a time and place for going by feel.  Here's where you want some actual data - let's say you are doing your functional threshold testing for bFTP or rFTP.  You may do the effort without looking at a watch or power meter if you have a coach or lab tech doing your test, but you damn sure want to have data to record what the power or pace is, correct? Here's another, when you work with a coach or go to prepare you periodized training plan, you need to assess your current training load and your goal training load based on your "A" race goal and "goal" for that race (meaning distance and planned result).  Just using hours of training or mileage is not a measure of actual stress because they don't account for intensity.  Plus, as we learned in the interview with Jim, preriodization is changing the type of training you are doing as you progress from phase to phase through your plan.  You start in the base phase doing general training and get more specific the closer you get to your goal.  Similarly, your intensity increases when you get into your build and peak phases altering the training load for a given duration or distance.  Having an objective measure of the starting CTL and goal CTL are critical to your plan.  You can assess your baseline CTL by using TrainingPeaks as long as you are recording all of your bike and run workouts and are using power and/or heart rate.  As Jim mentioned, you want to track these seperately. You should work with a qualified coach to help you determine what your target CTL is for your race goal and to know whether your ramp rate from the baseline to the goal given the number of weeks to your "A" race is appropriate. If you want to learn more about this process or want help planning for next season, reach out to me at Rich@milehighendurance.com   Speaking of your 2018 season, if you are listening to this episode on the day of release then you are listening to this on New Year's Eve.  A lot of races have price increases at midnight tonight.  If you haven't done it yet, fulfill a resolution a day early and save few bucks by checking out your race registration sites today and register today.  Then go out and celebrate that you've already ticked the box on one of your resolutions! 2017 Show Highlights: When I reflected on all of the interviews of 2017, I scanned through the inventory on the Content page on the MHE website.  Some of the interviews that really stood out for me: The late Terry Laughlin from Total Immersion was such an amazing contributor to our sport and the sport of swimming.  Terry revolutionized swim learning and swimming techniques to help people swim faster with less effort. Coach David Warden who was the host of Tri-Talk and a science-based coaching.  He was one of the inspirations for MHE and he consulted me as I researched starting the show.  He was a contributing author to Triathlon Science and is one of the smartest coaches in the business. We have had legendary professional athletes like Amanda Stevens, Joanna Zeiger, Mary Beth Ellis, Rachel Joyce, Andrew Talansky, TJ Tollakson, Bek Keat, Siri Lindley, Ben Hoffman and Matt Chrabot We have had our friends at USAT including Rocky Harris, Tim Yount, Jessica Welk, Meg Duncan and Barry Siff Finally we have had some of the best coaches in the business including some of the legendary athletes plus Melissa Mantak, Ken Axford, Sara McLarty, Will Murray, and of course Jim Vance. Of course there's also the Kona coverage and all of the special interviews we did on that trip including Bob Babbitt, Mike Reilly, Tim Hola, Chrissy Wellington, Andy Potts and Tim O'Donnell. Among the highlights of 2017 is of course the partnership with 303Triathlon and the entire team.  Of course that includes Bill Plock and Khem Suthiwan.  It also includes Dana Willet, Jen Findlay, Todd Plymale-Mallory and Kim Welk.  I'd like to thank them for supporting MHE and welcoming me as a part of the 303 team. Thanks to all of the people who have supported MHE.

Last week's guest Thanks to last week's guest, professional cyclist Jillian Bearden for candidly sharing her story about her journey through the pro cycling ranks, through her transition and trail blazing work with the International Olympic Committee and USA Cycling.  We received some great feedback.  If you haven't heard the interview yet, go back and check it out on episode #104. I did have a fact brought to my attention that Michelle Dumaresq is a Canadian professional downhill mountain bike competitor and post-operative trans woman. She competes with other professional female downhill mountain bike racers and raced downhill as a pro in 2002.   It's hard to be sure, but that would make Michelle a pro cyclist some years before Jillian. That said, if you simply type into Google "who is the first pro transgender cyclist?", my browser spits back Jillian Bearden - perhaps from my search history - perhaps the assumption is road cycling.  Regardless, Jillian is clearly the athlete who blazed the trail with IOC and USAC.  Great courage by Jillian!  Can't wait to see her race in 2018. Thanks to our listeners for staying engaged and keeping information coming our way.  We want to make sure we have our facts straight and share additional perspectives or angles to our stories. Discussion Teasers After the interview we are going to talk about the power of smiling when going to the pain cave or when the going gets tough in endurance racing or training. We also have a discussion on other activities that you can do in the off season to develop your gluteus medius, including rollerblading and skate skiing. Interview Setup Travis Macy summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into vast limestone caves in China, and ran through parched deserts in Utah. Most famously, he won one of the country's marquee ultra-distance events: Leadman, a high-altitude series of super-long-distance races, culminating with a 100-mile mountain biking race and a 100-mile trail run. Macy accomplished it without exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility, and without high-tech performance labs or performance-enhancing drugs. His secret? A precise and particular outlook he calls the "Ultra Mindset," principles for daily life that are neither mysterious nor the sole province of ascetics or elite athletes: embrace fear, rewrite stories we tell ourselves, and master the art of seeking help, among others. By applying the principles such as "It's All Good Mental Training," "When you have no choice, anything is possible," and "Never quit...except when you should quit" to other areas of life, anyone can find success that otherwise would have seemed impossible. We're going to get into the interview right now with Travis Macy.

Host Discussion Topics Travis Macy reflections: First of all - Travis is a complete bad ass.   Not only has he competed is some of the toughest, most epic, endurance races - he's been at the top of the sport and competed on some of the top teams. I didn't know much about adventure racing before reading this book, but man these races sound like a bitch to plan and pack for let alone race. This leads into my topic, which is about the power of smiling when training hard or when you hit a rough patch.  I subscribe to Travis Macy's Ultra Mindset newsletter and I saw one of his recent guests was Jason Schlarb who is one of the best ultra-runners in the world.  One of the things they talk about in their interview, which you can check out on YouTube, is about the power of smiling when you hit a rough patch. The Ultra Mindset with Jason Schlarb There are also some excellent articles, including: https://www.outsideonline.com/2256666/smiling-makes-you-more-efficient-runner https://www.topdowndental.com/3-reasons-why-you-should-smile-when-youre-running/ https://www.active.com/running/articles/6-tips-to-push-past-the-pain And in the book "The Sports Gene" they talked about the shared neural network in the brain between pain centers and emotion centers.

Host Discussion Topics Jillian Bearden debrief topics: First, I have a ton of respect for Jillian and the courage it took for her to not give up, turn things around 180 degrees, be a self-advocate and now an advocate for others. I did not realize until we got into the interview that it was she that worked with the IOC and USAC to define the trans athlete path to professional racing. I went into the interview being cautious to not push her to get more personal than she was comfortable - I totally underestimated her courage and willingness to share.

Host Discussion Topics Welcome back….. Rocky Harris debrief topics: Rocky has met with several constituent groups in his first 90 days, which do you think presented the greatest opportunity based on what you heard? Rocky mentioned several new ideas.  In your opinion, which have the most promise? What impressed you the most? My feeling is that triathlon is in the hands of someone that knows how to make an honest assessment of opportunities and has some really exciting ideas.  Ideas that I liked was the standardized "one stop shopping" for races, a Yelp-like rating platform. Khem's topics: Premier  Bills topics: Spin class promo Rich's topics: Indoor training; finding your most efficient cadence; and the quest for your peak power output https://www.active.com/cycling/articles/why-fast-pedaling-makes-cyclists-more-efficient  To determine the actual effects of slow and fast pedaling on leg-muscle cells, scientists at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Wyoming asked eight experienced cyclists to cycle at an intensity of 85 percent V02max for 30 minutes under two different conditions. In one case the cyclists pedaled their bikes at 50 revolutions per minute (rpm) while using a high gear. In the second case, the athletes pedaled in a low gear at 100 rpm. The athletes were traveling at identical speeds in the two instances, so their leg-muscle contractions were quite forceful at 50 rpm and moderate—but more frequent—at 100 rpm. As it turned out, the athletes' oxygen consumption rates were nearly identical in the two cases, and heart and breathing rates, total rate of power production, and blood lactate levels were also similar. However, athletes broke down the carbohydrate in their muscles at a greater rate when the 50 rpm strategy was used, while the 100 rpm cadence produced a greater reliance on fat. The greater glycogen depletion at 50 rpm occurred only in fast-twitch muscle cells. Slow-twitch muscle cells lost comparable amounts of their glycogen at 50 and 100 rpm, but fast-twitch cells lost almost 50 percent of their glycogen at 50 rpm and only 33 percent at 100 rpm, even though the exercise bouts lasted for 30 minutes in each case. This rapid loss of carbohydrate in the fast-twitch cells during slow, high-force pedaling probably explains why slow pedaling is less efficient than faster cadences of 80 to 85 rpm. Basically, as the fast fibers quickly deplete their glycogen during slow, high-strength pedaling, their contractions become less forceful, so more muscle cells must be activated to maintain a particular speed. This activation of a larger number of muscle cells then leads to higher oxygen consumption rates and reduced economy. This scenario, in which slow pedaling pulls the glycogen out of fast-twitch muscle cells, may sound paradoxical but it isn't; after all, slow pedaling rates are linked with high gears and elevated muscle forces, while fast cadences are associated with low gears and easy muscle contractions. Since fast-twitch fibers are more powerful than slow-twitch cells, the fast-twitch fibers swing into action at slow cadences, when high muscular forces are needed to move the bicycle along rapidly. On the other hand, "fast" pedaling rates of 80 to 100 rpm are not too hot for the slow-twitch cells to handle. Slow-twitch cells can contract 80 to 100 times per minute and can easily cope with the forces required to pedal in low gear. Another possible paradox in the Wisconsin/Wyoming research was that fast pedaling led to greater fat oxidation, even though maximal fat burning is usually linked with slow-paced efforts. Basically, the higher fat degradation at 100 rpm occurred because the slow-twitch cells handled the fast-paced, low-force contractions. Slow-twitch fibers are much better fat-burners than their fast-twitch neighbors. Fortunately, there's a bottom line to all this: During training and competition, cyclists should attempt to use fast pedaling rates of 80 to 85 rpm, both on the flat and on inclines. Compared to slower cadences, the higher pedaling speeds are more economical and burn more fat during exercise. Ultimately, the high pedaling rates also preserve greater amounts of glycogen in fast-twitch muscle fibers, leading to more explosive "kicks" to the finish line in closing moments of races.

On this episode, Adam is joined by ultra-distance athlete extraordinaire Travis Macy. Travis has raced professionally around the world in just about every ultra-endurance discipline you can think of…but this podcast is not about training and endurance. This podcast is about mindset. Travis recently released his first book, THE ULTRA MINDSET, and on this show Adam and Travis dive into the lessons, techniques, and habits Travis has learned and codified over his years competing at the highest level in endurance sports. Whether you’re looking to elevate your game in life, career, business, relationships, sports, and yes even hunting, Travis’ book is an approachable and entertaining read that serves as invaluable resource for helping you achieve those goals. On top of this, Travis is also a newly obsessed hunter, so Adam and Travis also spend some time talking about the parallels between the endurance world and the hunting world. These two communities and pursuits are far more connected than you may think! With 2018 fast approaching this is a timely podcast for setting your goals and putting plans in motion for next year!

Rich: Island House Triathlon NXR SW Team Results Interview Setup Sara McLarty is a professional triathlete. In the world of triathlon, she is considered a fast swimmer.  She was known has being the "first out of the water" at every race. One of her biggest leads was 90 seconds at the 2006 World Cup in Ishigaki, Japan. Most of her competitions were international-distance and draft-legal.  She competed against the best in the world at World Cup and World Championship races. She also enjoy competing in the famous American races: Escape from Alcatraz, Lifetime Fitness and Chicago. She would battle men like Andy Potts and Hunter Kemper in the waters of San Francisco Bay. Are you ready for that super-special swimming secret? Are you ready to discover how to be "first out of the water"? First, join the local swim team when you are 4 years old. Find a great coach who focuses on basic techniques and emphasizes the importance of developing a beautiful stroke. Swim year-round on a club team for 10 years and race your teammates in the pool every day. Then, if you are still healthy and enjoying the water, head off to a top swimming college (like the University of Florida) for four more years. Your next best option is to listen to the interview we have coming up right now with Sara.  Should we get it rolling?

In this episode we go over our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend adventure where Chris ran and Morgan biked 50 Km (31 miles) from Kingston to Westport, Ontario! This was Chris's first ultra distance run and Morgan's longest bike ride in some time. Oh, and it was pouring rain...so that made things slightly more soggy than originally planned. In Part 2 we review two UK exclusive flavors of Nakd bars (Carrot Cake and Peanut Delight). As we do every week in Part 3 we go over our fears of the week. Morgan will be facing down the dreaded peanut butter and jelly sandwich and Chris talks about what happens when staying in your comfort zone conflicts with your goals.

"The further we go the better we get" forteller Travis Macy når jeg spør han om hvilke mantra han bruker når han har lyst til å gi opp I dagens episode har jeg vært så heldig å prate Travis Macy som har fullført over 130+ ultraendurance løp i 17 land. Han er foredragsholder, forfatter, trener og en profesjonell utholdenhets-utøver. Han er forfatteren av The Ultra Mindset og han satte en rekord for Leadman, en episk utholdenhets begivenhet som består av a trail running marathon, 50-mile mountain bike race, Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race, 10k road run, and Leadville 100 Run, all above 10,200' in the Rocky Mountains For mange kan dette virke langt unna egen hverdag og utfordringer, men mye av det han deler i dagens episode og i boken sin er enkle mentale teknikker vi alle kan bruke. Han forteller selv hvordan han takler småbarns-livet, utfordringer på jobb osv. Link til hans online kurs her Vi er innom følgende tema: Bruke hindere som en perfekt anledning for mentaltrening Velge smerte viktigheten av forpliktelse Historiene vi forteller oss selv når vi har lyst til å gi opp Ingen er perfekte Hvordan endre historien du forteller deg selv Skifte fra Hva til Hvorfor Hva er ingen hyggelig tanke Hvordan overkomme en kropp som har lyst til å gi opp Hvordan du kan bruke perspektiv til å mestre nye ting Mantra for å overkomme utfordringer Kosthold og søvnmønster Med mer

 Travis is an internationally acclaimed endurance athlete who has competed in some of the World's most grueling events. like the Leadville 100 and Eco Challenge Adventure Race etc. Gleaning from the lessons of his career as an endurance athlete he wrote "The Ultra Mindset" which embodies the OFM mental game.  This gave Travis the critical thinking skills to recognize the signs that the effects of performing physical activities at a high level by fueling them with massive amounts of carbohydrates were becoming significant detriments to his health and performance. Last year Travis made the switch and is here today to share his views, strategies and results from making the fundamental shift back to "fat is fuel" the OFM way!  Join Travis, Peter & Naomi for an uplifting conversation on his personal OFM transformation.

Who I Am I’m a speaker, coach and former Division I All American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes reach their full potential by getting clarity on their what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them.

Travis Macey is the author of the book, The Ultra Mindset.  He's is a competitive adventure racer and ultra marathon runner.  This a great interview that covers a variety of topics.  

Travis Macy, an avid ultrarunner, wrote The Ultra Mindset after he learned a valuable lesson himself. He was working to become a school principal, a respectable position and by all means a sensible decision, but stopped in his tracks to write the book. Pushing forward in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons would’ve left Macy unfulfilled. Raw perseverance without deep purpose is not enough. Lucky for us, Macy channeled his mental toughness into the right endeavor and he shares a number of strategies for you to do the same in this podcast.  Lessons:1.When things get tough it’s helpful to focus on why you’re doing something and not on the drudgery of the task.2.Training is equally important for developing a strong mind as it is for getting fit.3.Quitting is okay when you find yourself on a path that doesn’t align with your values, but if you are on the right path, don’t give up.

Sarah and I sit down with The Ultra Mindset – An Endurance Champion’s 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life (Lifelong Books) author Travis Macy to learn how we can apply what we know as ultrarunners to our every day lives.  Though Travis is an experienced endurance athlete and … The post Travis Macy – The Ultra Mindset appeared first on Ultrarunnerpodcast.com.

Travis Macy, professional ultra-endurance athlete, coach, teacher, husband and father of two joins us to talk about his new book, "The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports and Life".  This book is a set of simple principles for daily life that includes embracing fear, rewriting the stories we tell ourselves, and mastering the art of asking for help. "We constantly send our kids -and ourselves- the message that if you struggle something is wrong.  If you're doing something right, it will feel nice and easy; it will be fun.  Struggle should be halted as soon as possible at all times because it will probably lead to suffering and, even worse, failure.  The problem with the message above is that it flies in the face of what we know to be the truth about learning and general process, namely, that if you never struggled, growth is almost impossible because lack of growth only shows complacency with in a comfort zone." - The Ultra Mindset The book is available at most book outlets including Amazon and available to listen on Audible.

Travis Macy is best known as; “The Guy who won the Leadman Ultra Endurance Event”. Travis is a professional adventure racer, ultra-marathonrunner, coach and motivational speaker. We speak about his newly released book: “The Ultra Mindset” a book that serves as a guide to 8 key principles to becoming successful in sport, business and life. He delivers powerful self-help messages such as; “When you have no choice, anything is possible”.  This is a great interview for anyone who is in search of success.
