Ultrarunning, sleep deprivation, spiritual breakthroughs & iced lattes mid-race—this one has it all.Todd Pollock of Greater Than Endurance returns to Airey Bros Radio to recap his first-ever multi-day ultra at the Sedona Canyons 125, part of the Cocodona race series. After 57 hours, 2 hours of sleep, four blisters, and a full-on battery-failure saga at an aid station, Todd crossed the finish line in Flagstaff changed forever.This episode dives deep into:Training for multi-day ultrasFueling and hydration strategiesEmotional and spiritual awakenings during extreme enduranceCrew chaos, Sedona vortex energy, and the real MVPs: aid station volunteersThe mantra that carried Todd through the final miles: “One foot in front of the other”If you're training for your first 100+ miler, dreaming of Cocodona 250, or just want a firsthand look at what it takes to push your physical and mental limits—this episode is for you.

Ever wonder what it takes to run 300+ marathons in full costume? Meet Charlotte, the runner who's redefining what's possible in both endurance and race day fashion.Charlotte brings a refreshing perspective to ultra running that blends serious mileage with joyful celebration. Unlike many elite runners, she didn't start until her mid-30s after making lifestyle changes for better health. What began with simple run-walk intervals around her hometown loop evolved into an extraordinary journey through every U.S. state and beyond. Her approach to marathons—seeing "America 26.2 miles at a time"—reflects her philosophy that the journey matters as much as the finish line.What truly sets Charlotte apart is her unwavering commitment to costumed running. Her motto—"head to toe, start to finish"—means she never sheds costume pieces, no matter the distance. From a three-tiered birthday cake with PVC pipe infrastructure to a space shuttle costume developed with her mom (an accomplished seamstress), Charlotte transforms races into performance art. When fellow runners inevitably ask at the finish, "Did you wear that the whole race?" she takes pride in always answering "Yes."Charlotte's signature move happens at the 100K mark of ultras: her "Fireball dance" complete with Pitbull music and shared shots has earned her the nickname "Fireball Fairy" in ultra running circles. This blend of endurance and celebration perfectly captures her approach to the sport. As an UESCA certified ultra coach, she emphasizes proper pacing and mental resilience over obsessing about speed.Now with her sights set on joining the exclusive "100 100s Club" (only about 32 people worldwide who've completed one hundred 100-mile races), Charlotte continues to embody how extraordinary achievements can come from finding joy in the process. Follow her journey on Instagram @marathoncostumechic or join the community at Disney Day Drinkers Running Team to witness how sparkle and grit can coexist beautifully on the ultra running trail.Have questions or want to chat?

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden's Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.A seasoned adventurer and former Royal Marines Commando, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he's no stranger to extreme endurance.Pic Credits - @willbaldlygo & @trail_bearXMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

Want to get in touch? Send Claire a message!In episode 117 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I'm joined by fellow sports dietitian Vic Johnson, MPH, RDN, to break down one of the most talked-about and often misunderstood topics in the endurance world: performance supplements.Vic works with many top trail and ultra athletes, and is an ultra runner himself, so he knows what it takes to fuel smart and optimize performance.  We dive into the latest research and give practical tips for popular endurance supplements like caffeine, ketone esters, and sodium bicarbonate, among others. Our conversation will help you decide whether any of these ergogenic aids are worth your time and money. Spoiler alert: If the basics of fueling, hydration, sleep, and recovery aren't dialed in yet, that's where you should start!Vic and I discuss:Why caffeine is the most effective supplement for endurance performanceHow sodium bicarbonate might help during hard efforts, but why it's riskyWhether ketones live up to the hype, and why they taste like battery acidOther supplements like dietary nitrates, polyphenols, creatine, and collagenHow to safely and strategically approach supplements in trainingWhy the basics, including nutrition and hydration, matter mostKey Takeaways:Caffeine has the most consistent benefits, but dose and timing matterSodium bicarb and ketone esters may help some athletes, but come with GI concerns and a steep price tag Supplements are the cherry on top; focus on food, hydration, carb intake, recovery, and sleep firstAlways test out supplements in training and adjust based on tolerance

It is as much a personal journey into self discovery as it is a foot race. But it is still a race and if you decide this is the race for you, it will push you farther than you have ever been before. And if you complete it, you may find yourself returning year after year. Those who do it every year, return again and again.

Take a run with The Human Potential Running Series podcast. For Episode 66, HPRS Race Director John Lacroix discusses change and transitions. Change can be terrifying to the point that some people avoid it. It can also be necessary to grow. Transition is a word that can better describe change in a positive light. In this episode, John discusses aspects of the ultrarunning community that need to change for the sport to evolve. John also discusses how these aspects have affected his desire to self-identify as an ultrarunner, and how it ultimately leads to a period of transition at HPRS that will occur over the next 2-4 years. This is a heavy, incredibly personal episode, recounting challenging situations that have led to decisions that will affect the HPRS community for years to come.

Host Scotty Sandow sits down with editor in chief Amy Clark to dive into the latest issue of UltraRunning Magazine including the spring shoe review, a feature on the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning and lots of great training advice for upcoming race season.  Subscribe to UltraRunning Magazine Thank you to our episode sponsor Drymax

Send us a text#329 - Remember the phrase "Go Big or Go Home?" Yeah, I got tired of it too. Unfortunately, I still hear it and see runners suggesting that they're not doing enough. Well, first of all, who are they to judge another runner and second, anyone who says that to another runner usually is trying to sell something, be it a book, personal training, running coach services or something else. With all we do, finding time to run is going big. We're not fulltime runners, so to make time out of our busy days to run or a herculean effort. And what happens if we put everything into going "big"? I go over that too. Overtraining has a lot of undesirable effects. I find it interesting that those are never covered by the Go Big crowd.

“Volunteering is a great way to get to know people, it's a great way to get inspired. So, I would recommend it to anybody who wants to go to a race but they're nervous because they don't know people.

In this episode AJW Cracks a brew with 70 year old Oregonian Ed Willson to talk about his training for Western States and what he feels are the "Four Pillars of Success" for older Western States runners.

To really understand who we are as a running community—What drives us, what connects us, and why we keep pushing our limits, we have to look back. Long before ultras, Strava segments, or finish-line belt buckles, there was pedestrianism—a 19th-century spectacle where athletes raced for six days straight inside smoky arenas, cheered on by thousands. Our resident ultrarunning historian, Davy Crockett, is back to introduce us to one of the most unforgettable figures from that era.  Peter Napoleon Campana—better known as Old Sport.  Davy just published another book, Old Sport Campana: Ultrarunning;s Most Popular and Amusing 19th Century Runner in his historical series that brings  Campana's story to life and helps us explore what it reveals about the roots of our sport—and why looking back just might help us better understand who we are today.
