Western States is here, and I couldn’t think of a better guest to have on the podcast than Canyon Woodward. Canyon has quietly become one of the most exciting athletes in trail running. He became the first ultrarunner to earn three consecutive top-five finishes at Western States Golden Ticket races in a single season, finishing third at the 2025 Javelina 100, fourth at the 2026 Black Canyon 100K, and fifth at the 2026 Canyons 100K. His progression at UTMB has been just as impressive, climbing from 48th place in 2022 to 13th place in 2025. But Canyon’s story goes far beyond racing. He grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina, was homeschooled, spent part of his childhood in the remote community of Stehekin, Washington, and now balances elite ultrarunning with environmental advocacy and political organizing. He also co-authored the book Dirt Road Revival and has been featured in the award-winning documentary Rule Runners. This was such a thoughtful conversation. We talk about growing up immersed in the outdoors, his journey into elite trail running, preparing for his Western States debut, and why he believes “stacking bricks” applies just as much to life and community as it does to training. A big thank you to Mount to Coast for connecting me with Canyon. He’s sponsored by Mount to Coast and will be racing Western States in one of their trail shoes this weekend.

Western States and UTMB are often framed as opposite visions for the future of trail running. One protects through limits. The other protects through growth. But after publishing an episode on that tension, I received an unexpected response from Bob Crowley, former President of the International Trail Running Association (ITRA).Bob argues that both sides may be focused on the wrong thing. What follows is a conversation about culture, stewardship, local races, and whether the values that built trail running can survive success. Somewhere along the way, the debate stops being about Western States and UTMB and becomes something much bigger.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Resources / LinksWestern States Wants to Protect, UTMB Wants to GrowBob's Full Op-edBorderlands.ccLa French TrailRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Apriamo questa puntata parlando di triathlon, in particolare di Ironman, e lo facciamo in compagnia di Mattia Ceccarelli, protagonista di un’impresa straordinaria: la vittoria all’Ironman Austria di Klagenfurt in 7h48’07”, risultato che gli vale anche la qualificazione per la finale mondiale di Kona, alle Hawaii. Con lui ripercorriamo una gara dura e selettiva, la frazione di bici decisiva e la sua storia personale, tra sport e il desiderio di inseguire un sogno. Poi, nella seconda parte, in compagnia di Martina Valmassoi chiudiamo il racconto del suo bellissimo viaggio, iniziato con un ottimo risultato alla Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon, proseguito con il trasferimento in bici fino ad Andorra e culminato con la vittoria al Trail 100 Andorra by UTMB. Un risultato che a fine agosto la porterà a Chamonix per la finale mondiale del circuito UTMB World Series (UTMB Mont-Blanc). Infine, come sempre, lo spazio dedicato agli ascoltatori: in compagnia del coach Fabio Vedana rispondiamo alle domande su corsa e allenamento.
Et si vous étiez la seule personne capable de sauver une vie sur le bord d'un sentier ?Dans cet épisode, je retrouve Eloi Sarrazin, formateur aux gestes qui sauvent et cofondateur d'Outdoor Secours, déjà invité dans l'épisode 288 du LTP. On consacre cet échange à un sujet essentiel — et trop souvent négligé — dans notre discipline : les gestes de premier secours.Quelques chiffres pour planter le décor : en France, 50 000 personnes sont victimes d'un arrêt cardiaque chaque année, et seulement 5 % en réchappent. 70 % de ces arrêts ont lieu devant témoins… et c'est souvent ce témoin, formé ou non, qui détermine la suite. Pourtant, à peine 40 % de la population est aujourd'hui formée en France, contre 95 % en Allemagne ou en Norvège.Au programme de l'épisode :Les différentes formations accessibles au grand public (l'initiation « Gestes qui sauvent » et le PSC, premier diplôme grand public) et la loi « Citoyen Sauveteur » de 2020.Les situations à risque en trail : arrêt cardiaque, hypothermie, hyperthermie maligne d'effort (le fameux « coup de chaud »), déshydratation, chutes, hypoglycémie…Les trois réflexes à avoir : PROTÉGER, ALERTER, AGIR — et pourquoi il faut d'abord composer le numéro de secours de la course, avant le 112.Le matériel qui peut vraiment faire la différence : téléphone chargé, batterie externe, couverture de survie, sifflet, eau.L'importance de signaler son abandon, les erreurs les plus fréquentes sur le terrain, et l'impact psychologique pour les témoins qui interviennent.Un échange sans alarmisme, mais sans tabou, pour rappeler qu'en sport nature on n'est jamais à l'abri d'un imprévu — et que se former, c'est prendre soin des autres autant que de soi-même.Bonne écoute !credit
Western States and UTMB have become the two most influential institutions in trail running, but beneath the debate over lotteries, race series, and growth is a deeper question: when something becomes successful, how do you protect it?Josh explores why UTMB believes trail running is important enough to scale globally while Western States believes it's important enough not to. Along the way, he examines scarcity, culture, the hidden cost of success, and whether the thing worth protecting was ever the race itself.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps01:33 Two Philosophies of Trail Running03:19 Is Growth in Trail Running Corruption?06:13 The Scale Problem in Trail Running11:06 What Cultre are We Protecting in Trail Running?15:50 The Supply Chain of Trail Running CultureResources / Links8 Bit Trail RunningJosh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack
Hélène Dassy a signé une superbe 2e place sur la TDS 2025, l'une des courses les plus exigeantes de la semaine UTMB. Une performance marquante pour l'ultra-trail belge.Dans cet épisode, on parle d'alimentation en ultra-trail à travers son expérience d'athlète. Pas de théorie ni de discours d'expert, mais du vécu : ce qui fonctionne pour elle, ce qui ne fonctionne pas, ses erreurs, ses ajustements, et les moments où tout ne se passe pas comme prévu en course.Comment elle a construit au fil du temps sa propre stratégie nutritionnelle ? Comment elle gère son alimentation sur des efforts de 20 à 30 heures ? Et qu'est-ce qu'elle a appris en testant, en se trompant, puis en adaptant ?Au-delà de son cas personnel, l'épisode permet aussi de mieux comprendre les enjeux de l'alimentation en ultra-trail, avec des repères concrets que chaque coureur peut adapter à sa propre pratique.Un échange simple, authentique et terrain sur ce qui se joue vraiment dans l'assiette quand la course devient un ultra.

In this conversation, he shares how a career built around performance eventually evolved into something much bigger: community, connection, and learning to define success on his own terms.Tim reflects on his transition from road marathoning to trail running, his years with Nike Trail, HOKA, and Craft, and the lessons learned from competing at the highest levels of the sport. The conversation also dives deep into confidence versus courage, the power of self-belief, and what it took to finally bring his long-time dream of Mammoth Trail Fest to life.Throughout the episode, Tim offers a refreshing perspective on reinvention, entrepreneurship, and why betting on yourself is often the hardest—and most rewarding—decision you'll ever make.In This EpisodeTransitioning from marathon running to trail runningThe early days of Nike Trail and racing in EuropeConfidence vs. courage and finding self-beliefWhy athletes need an identity beyond performanceBuilding Mammoth Trail Fest from an idea into realityLessons learned from Nike, HOKA, and CraftThe future of trail running and protecting its cultureCommunity, connection, and creating opportunities for othersThis episode is a reminder that growth rarely comes from playing it safe.

Send us Fan MailBroken Arrow isn't just another race weekend anymore, it's the point in the season where trail running feels like it snaps into full focus. Steve Taylor joins me to talk through why this stop has exploded into a true international destination in North America, how the venue and spectator access change the vibe, and why the growing prize purse keeps pulling the fastest names into one start list. If you're tracking the road from Broken Arrow to Western States, Hardrock, and UTMB, this is the moment where storylines start to lock in.We zoom in on the Broken Arrow Ascent and get specific about what makes this course weirdly brutal: the full-gas ski hill start, the fast road and singletrack sections that reward speed strength, and the reality that a “vertical” can still punish you for racing like it's a 3-minute effort. We talk pacing, tactics, and why this format can favor athletes with big VO2 engines, while still demanding legit climbing legs once the lactic hits and the finish gets close.Then we get into the fun debate: is this the race of the roadies, or do mountain specialists still own the day? We dig into the crossover trend, what it does for the sport's visibility, and why trail running remains a skill even on runnable terrain. From the stacked women's matchup to the men's field depth and our podium picks, you'll walk away with clear names to watch and a sharper sense of how the Ascent is likely to unfold.

Send us Fan MailIn episode #188 we spoke with NR athlete Dani Moreno as she goes into her first race post-surgery out at Broken Arrow Sky Race 46k. Dani shares her journey through injury recovery and optimization strategies, and what she is doing leading up to race day.KEY TOPICSDani's journey through her first major injury and recoveryMental resilience strategies during injury recovery.Nutritional strategies and key supplements for healing.Importance of comprehensive blood work for athletes.Training and race preparation insights from Dani.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT DANI MORENO:Dani Moreno is a professional trail runner galloping and residing in the Eastern Sierra mountain town of Mammoth Lakes, California. She moved to the mountains at the end of 2020 from the coastal town of Santa Barbara, where she lived for a decade, having graduated from the University of Santa Barbara, California.While at UCSB, she competed for the women's Cross Country and Track and Field programs and produced times that made her competitive on both the conference and national level. After college, she took a break from running to rediscover herself, leaning into outdoor guiding and things like climbing, spearfishing, motorcycle riding and other outdoor activities that pushed her to her physiological limits. During this phase of life, she found nothing gave her quite the same satisfaction running did. She began dabbling in trail running, which reignited her passion, and soon she was exploring the Los Padres National Forest's front range on her off days. Trail running immediately appealed to all aspects of her personality in a way that no other type of running had before. As she began to race trails, new opportunities arose and doors opened. She began traveling all over the United States and the world, feeling gratitude the whole way. That feeling hasn't stopped since 2016, and since her debut to the sport, she has exploded on the sub-ultra and ultra scene, with an incredible number of podium and top 10 finishes, including being the top American at UTMB's World Championship OCC race in Chamonix in August 2024, a top 5 finish at the 2024 Broken Arrow Skyrace 26k, 1st at Canyons Endurance Race, 1st at Kodiak Ultra Marathon 50k in 2023, 2nd at Mammoth Trailfest 26k in 2023, and many others.

TRAIL RUNNING RECORDS: CARRERAS DE MONTAÑA, MÁS RÁPIDAS CADA DÍA. Nuestra sección TRAIL RUNNING presenta una fotografía muy reveladora del momento actual de las carreras de montaña. Si llevas casi veinte años siguiendo este deporte desde dentro, como me ocurre a mí, verás como los récords están cayendo a una velocidad que no habíamos visto nunca. Sea en Zegama, Sierre-Zinal, UTMB, Canfranc, Western States, Penyagolosa o los 101 de Ronda. Lo vemos además en recorridos clásicos donde durante mucho tiempo parecía que el crono había encontrado ya su frontera natural. Vamos con la confluencia de cinco factores clave, que lo explican, según Mayayo. La respuesta, después de muchos años siguiendo este deporte desde Zegama hasta Chamonix, desde los Alpes suizos hasta los Picos de Europa y la Sierra de Guadarrama, creo que no debe reducirse a una sola causa, sino a la suma de cinco claves que explican esta aceleración de las carreras de montaña: Mejora material, ciencia del entrenamiento, profesionalización trail, revolución nutrición y ampliación del deporte. Ese quinteto forma hoy una tormenta perfecta que permite correr más rápido durante más tiempo y llegar menos destruido a meta. No son compartimentos estancos, porque todas se mezclan entre sí y se alimentan unas a otras. Sergio Garasa Mayayo CARRERASDEMONTANA.COM #carrerasdemontaña #radiotrail

Coach Loretta and Coach Lindsay sit down with Dr. Scott McLean (Michigan Medicine) to talk all things sun protection for runners, along with a new initiative called Sunbeasts. They cover why runners are especially at risk for sun damage, how to monitor moles and skin changes, and practical ways to protect yourself—like choosing effective SPF, reapplying strategies, and using protective clothing. The conversation also touches on real-world application at major endurance events like UTMB, Western States (WSER), and the Huron 100.
ON ADVENTURE PODCAST | EPISODE 73 Episode 73: Running is Life with Aaron Saft As a species, we only do things if there is truly a reward on the other side. So when the reward is pain, struggle, suffering, and danger, what exactly keeps driving us back out the door? Aaron Saft has spent his life chasing that answer. A five-time ACC champion at NC State whose teams finished third at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, he traded the track for the trail, ran his first 100-miler in 2016, and has since become one of the most experienced ultrarunners in the Southeast. Today he coaches roughly 75 athletes full-time through his Running Is Life platform and podcast, a business he deliberately renamed from "MR Running Pains" because he believes running, done right, should bring as much joy as it does suffering. His résumé reads like a bucket list for the sport: the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, the Bigfoot 200, Hardrock, Leadville, UTMB, and the Tor des Géants in the Italian Alps, where a fall, a head injury, and a watchful medic ended his race. He has finished a 100-miler while spiking a 100-degree fever, outrun a mother grizzly and her cubs in Canada, and learned the hard way when to push and when to stop. But ask Aaron why he does it and he won't point to a trophy. He'll point to the upside-down photo of his family pinned to his quad, the one he looks down at in the darkest miles to remember who he is suffering for. In this conversation, Josh and Aaron trace the many forms the "why" can take. They dig into presence, learning to run a hundred miles one mile at a time, and the moment an empty drop bag at Leadville taught Aaron everything he needed to know about the generosity of the trail community. They talk about the one question you never ask an ultrarunner, the evolution from chasing a place to simply chasing the finish line, why legacy is something children catch rather than something we teach, and how an abundance mindset shaped the coaching practice he built from the ground up. It is a conversation for every everyday explorer about doing the hard things that make life fuller, right now, not someday.

Mi-mai, j'ai eu l'opportunité de découvrir le Trail Alsace by UTMB, un événement organisé à Obernai et qui réunit plusieurs formats de course. Véritable rendez-vous incontournable pour les amateurs de trail, il attire chaque année des milliers de participants et à cette occasion, j'ai pu animer un échange avec des familles venues relever le défi ensemble. Un moment particulièrement vivant, rythmé par les anecdotes, les éclats de rire et la bonne humeur, tout en abordant également des aspects plus difficiles comme les adaptations qu'implique la pratique de ce sport quand on est parent d'enfants en bas âge. Organisation, priorité, sacrifice ou plaisir, selon vous, pratiquer le trail en famille, c'est le paradis ou ça peut vite virer au cauchemar ? En tout cas, vous allez vite comprendre qu'avec des Alsaciens aussi passionnés que complètement fous, l'ambiance était forcément au rendez-vous.Hébergé par Ausha.

This week we're sharing the mics with friend of the show Katie Kaars-Sijpesteijn. A Salomon and GB athlete, Katie has lined up, and podiumed, at some of the most competitive races out there.But the last 12 months have taken her down a very different path as she chased a sub‑3 road marathon. Not exactly the classic tune‑up for UTS by UTMB 100K, yet it clearly worked… because she stormed her way to 2nd place in a seriously stacked field.We chat about her recent races, the unconventional build‑up, and her journey back to racing as a mother of two young children.HARRIER - Use code TATP10 for 10% off - https://harrierrunfree.avln.me/c/qXhnTgIdEMeaXMILES UK - Listeners receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link - https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRFENIX LIGHT LTD - Use code T&T5 for 5% - https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION - Use code TEA2026 for 15% off your first orderPRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION PLANNER - https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zSTRAVA - Use code TEA for 20% off an annual membership - #StravaPartner #Adhttps://www.strava.com/subscribe/checkout?code=TEASUNGOD - Use code TEA15 for 15% off your order - https://www.sungod.co/en-gbBEARHUG - Click the link to receive 15% off your order.https://getabearhug.avln.me/c/mtOmrcHyImJoContent contains affiliate links which help support this channel at no cost to you.Brew with the Coaches - CLICK HEREHardmoors - https://www.hardmoors110.org.uk/Trail Outlaws - https://www.trailoutlaws.com/13 Valleys Ultra - https://www.13valleysultra.com/Beyond Trails - https://www.beyondtrails.co.uk/Hellfire Events - https://www.hellfireevents.com/Dales Runner - https://dalesrunner.co.uk/Run The Wild - https://runthewild.co.uk/Hannah Walsh - https://www.hannahwalsh.co.uk/Punk Panther - https://www.punkpanther.co.uk/Pen Llyn Ultra - https://penllyn.niftyentries.com/Raw Adventures - https://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/XNRG - https://www.xnrg.co.uk/
Et si on arrêtait deux minutes de tout comparer ?Pour ce nouveau format à plusieurs voix, je retrouve deux Patrailons fidèles du LTP : Yannick Bianchini, prof de sport et coach spécialisé en trail au Luxembourg, et Matthieu Romain, restaurateur dans le Nord, ultra-trailer passionné.Ensemble, on s'est attaqués à un thème qui revient en permanence dans notre discipline — et qui peut vite faire perdre les pédales : LA COMPARAISON !Au programme de l'échange, cinq angles à dérouler :Les niveaux de course, les classements et la fameuse « densité » d'une épreuve — pourquoi viser un top 30 « comme l'année dernière » est souvent un piège.La physiologie et la nutrition (90, 100, 120 g de glucides à l'heure, zones cardio, FCmax…) : pourquoi appliquer aveuglément ce qui marche pour les élites peut nous jouer des tours.Les formats de course : un 100 miles n'est pas un 100 miles, et au-delà des kilomètres, c'est le ratio, la technicité et le temps d'effort qui comptent vraiment.Les records de course : parcours qui changent, conditions météo, heures de départ… que vaut un sub-20 quand le terrain ne joue pas le même match ?Et surtout, la comparaison aux autres : Strava, ego, départs trop rapides, pression du peloton… le sujet qui parle à toutes et tous.Un échange sincère et sans tabou, où chacun défend son point de vue : comparer pour apprendre, progresser et anticiper, oui — mais en restant objectif, sans jugement de valeur, et en se recentrant toujours sur soi-même. Parce qu'au fond, comparaison n'est pas raison.Bonne écoute !PS : Si toi aussi tu veux participer à un prochain épisode de ce format, rejoins-nous sur la communauté Patreon du LTP — patreon.com/letstrailpodcast.NB : Aucune rétribution n'est accordée aux podcasteurs de la part des plateformes de diffusionAucune publicité n'est diffusée sur le LTPLe seul moyen de faire en sorte que tout le travail réalisé puisse être rétribué et que le podcast puisse perdurer est d'apporter votre soutien financier via la plateforme PATREON : Pour soutenir le projet et intégrer la communauté des Patrailons c'est par là :https://www.patreon.com/lets_trail_le_podcastSelon le niveau d'engagement : -> Possibilité de participer à des des épisodes en tant que co-animateur-> Intégration de la communauté Capuccino permettant de communiquer régulièrement via des messages audioPour rejoindre la communauté LTP Les principaux liens c'est par ici :Ce petit geste permet d'augmenter la visibilité du podcast.

【本期简介】2026年5月3日,游培泉冲过泰国亚马逊丛林越野赛 100公里的终点,成为了100公里的男子冠军。一时间,对于他的讨论又重新出现。反观游培泉常年低调隐身,外界一度猜测他陷入竞技低谷,但在本人视角里,过往数年算不上低谷,只是多年真实水平被行业高速发展撕下滤镜。游培泉说他陷入长达十余年的认知盲区:主观认定自身短距离毫无竞争力,只有百公里超长越野才有冲冠希望,抱着“赌徒”心态扎堆长距离赛事,不合理的赛程选择让他多次无奈退赛。随着国内越野环境飞速迭代,新生代选手大多拥有专业路跑功底,训练科学且刻苦,越野整体竞技门槛水涨船高。他被迫正视自己的短板:零基础野跑出身、常年慢跑疏于速度练习、上坡极易心率爆表跑崩,靠着超长距离规避弱项的老路再也走不通。但这对游培泉来说都不是”事儿“。他说他需要找到自己的状态,那种体育生的快乐。他需要压力,让他能够认清现实的压力。他抗拒训练营高压集训,不愿被职业化严苛标准束缚,面对品牌商务顺其自然,能拿到五成商业收益便知足,不在乎粉丝流量与出圈热度……这些不是拧巴,而是专属于游培泉的松弛感,拒绝为成绩透支生活,坚守自己的跑步哲学。【主播】媛子、车车【嘉宾】游培泉(安踏冠军精英运动员)、么么茶(游培泉的太太)【Timeline】01:02-09:10 近况复盘:告别百公里,复盘同赛道名次落差,看清行业内卷增速09:10-17:35 认知破局:上坡、速度两大致命短板全拆解17:35-30:05 泰国夺冠幕后:短距离训练慢慢找回竞技手感30:05-42:10 松弛性格溯源:因病入坑跑步,他有自己的跑步哲学42:10-55:40 四十岁职业规划:暂不聘请教练,自主攻克 5/10km 基础速度55:40-68:20 聊 UTMB 执念,佛系看待赞助商业与自媒体变现68:20-80:32 下个目标:崇礼和CCC【制作】越野Talk【收听平台】小宇宙|喜马拉雅FM|苹果播客|网易云音乐|荔枝|蜻蜓FM|QQ音乐|微博音频|Spotify|YouTube【关注我们】官方网站:www.crazytrailchina.com微信公众号:越野Talk微博:越野Talk小红书:越野TalkB站:越野Talk抖音:越野TalkYouTube:crazytrailchinaInstagram:crazytrailchinaLinkedin:Crazy Trail【添加微信群】添加「深焦」微信:15011423855【商务合作】欢迎发送邮件crazytrailchina@gmail.com,或添加「深焦」微信:15011423855
Send us Fan MailTwo loops can mess with your head in a way a single climb never will, and Mount Sunapee is the perfect example. We sit down with Courtney Coppinger to get specific about what wins a mountain classic style race: how hard to push the first climb, where the real separation happens on lap two, and why the steep grass start is the fastest way to ruin your day if you get greedy. If you love mountain running, trail racing, and short high-intensity climbs with technical descents, this one is pure gold. Courtney walks us through the training that matches the course, especially the underrated skill of descending hard and then turning around to climb again. We talk race-simulation workouts, effort control, and the mindset shift of racing like an underdog even when people expect you to be up front. We also get into footwear strategy for Mount Sunapee, including why low-to-the-ground trail shoes with serious lugs matter when the downhill gets fast and messy. Then we zoom out to the bigger scene: Courtney's breakout spring in China, what she learned from WMRA World Cup racing, and what it is like serving on the WMRA athletes commission with topics like environmental impact and the complicated path toward Olympic recognition. Finally, she lays out a packed summer that includes Broken Arrow, TrailCon, a first skyrace in Peru, ETC during UTMB week, and a bold plan for the Golden Trail finals. If you enjoy deep race strategy and practical mountain running training advice, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves steep trails, and leave a review.

In this episode, Rob Jones is back in person and joins Tom for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything happening at InnerFight Endurance — Chamonix camp, LRC 3.0, Performance Camp in Korfakan, and the Athens Marathon in November.Tom shares how his return to zone 2 running triggered a dramatic jump in HRV, they dig into aid station efficiency data from Ultra Trail Snowdonia and UTMB, and Tom breaks down what his MSc has taught him about brain chunking, visual perception, and why the small habits around training matter more than most people think.They wrap up by getting into how the IFE coaching team is now using AI — not to replace coaching, but to handle the deep analysis that used to take hours and give that time back to the athlete.

Sage Canaday has done a lot in running.A 2:16 marathoner, mountain running champion, Western States golden ticket winner, coach, YouTuber, and one of the few people who can jump into a conversation about track workouts, UTMB, 200 milers, social media, and sports nutrition without it feeling out of place.In this episode, we talk about Sage's "Any Surface. Any Distance." philosophy and how he went from chasing Olympic Trials standards to racing ultras and building one of the longest-running YouTube channels in endurance sports.We also dive into how running has changed over the last decade. The rise of influencers, AI coaching, optimization culture, sports nutrition trends, sponsorships, and the blurry line between being a professional athlete and a content creator.Along the way, Sage shares stories from Western States, his battle with a pulmonary embolism, losing his apartment in a fire, rebuilding his career, and why he still believes there are new challenges worth chasing at age 40.We cover:• Why 100 milers humble fast marathoners• Cocodona and the rise of 200-mile racing• Social media's impact on running culture• AI coaching and the future of training• Sports nutrition, bicarb, and optimization trends• Aging as an athlete• Clean sport and performance-enhancing drugs• Western States bear encounters• Why Sage still wants to keep trying new distancesSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Episode 108 brings all four hosts back together for a rare catch-up episode, and the conversation covers everything from ambitious running goals to the realities of trying to fit training into already full lives. Hilary shares the experience of premiering Raise the Bar, her feature-length film celebrating the women of Western States and the athletes who continue to push the sport forward. Rachel reflects on her standout FKT effort on West Grandeur and the challenge of balancing big athletic goals with motherhood, medical training, and everyday life. Leah talks about building toward UTMB, finding motivation in a busy season of life, and the growing sense of community she's found in Salt Lake City. Katie opens up about navigating family health challenges, illness, interrupted training, and the mental battle of holding onto goals when life keeps throwing curveballs.It's a conversation about ambition, friendship, perspective, and why showing up imperfectly is often the most important part of the process. Whether you're training for your biggest race of the year or simply trying to squeeze a run into a busy week, this episode is a reminder that progress rarely looks perfect, and that's okay.

Send us Fan MailCody Poskin is an emerging star of ultramarathoning, and his meteoric rise continued earlier this month at the Cocodona 250 in Arizona, where he placed second among men in 58:13:44, impressively knocking 13 hours off of his time from a year earlier. He attributes his progress due to lessons he learned from last time about sleeping, how not to chafe, increasing his training load, and to mental ruggedness. Some of the latter was honed when he won the Ultra Gobi Desert 400K, which he discussed on WASP episode #364 last October. Cody chats with me about many of the challenges he encountered while running 253 miles through the Arizona mountains, deserts, canyons, and several steep mountain climbs and descents, and what it was like to not be cruising to the finish, but actually be dueling other competitors in the latter stages of the race. Not to mention the challenges of training for such terrain on the meek hills where he lives in Missouri, and while working an office job. His recent results have led to sponsorships with Mount to Coast shoes among others that are leading toward him considering himself a full-time professional runner, and allowing him some degree of freedom like many 24-year-olds crave to travel to races and pursue other adventures like triathlon and long-distance kayaking. Cody is setting his sights toward qualifying for high-profile races like Hardrock and UTMB, and relocating to an area like Colorado where he can train on our trails. And last but not least, we chat about his race clothing choices. Cody is awesome to chat with and I'm sure you'll be entertained.Cody Poskincodyposkin.comInstagram, YouTube, and Threads @cody_poskinBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease consider donating to support Team Leadville and Boulder Crest to help end veteran suicide!

It was a heavy week in trail running, to say the least. Katie Schide officially withdraws from Hardrock as her foot injury rehab continues, and Kilian Korth faces season-ending surgery on a peroneus longus tendon tear that took place during this year's Cocodona 250.Then the Cam Hanes situation. After Hanes admitted to using banned peptide BPC 157 in an Instagram thread following his 2:39 Eugene Marathon, Sage Canaday filed a USADA tip. We break down the ethics of doping enforcement below the pro tier and what Cam's outsized influence on the sport means for any resolution.Plus: Rachel Entrekin's new multi-year Norda deal through 2029, Rachel Drake's record-shattering FKT on the West Grandeur Ascent, Will Peterson ending his Appalachian Trail FKT attempt at the Mason-Dixon line, ASICS opening a year-round UTMB training base in Les Houches, results from Leavenworth Trailfest and the Golden Trail World Series, plus a Twisted Fork Trail Festival preview.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderNorda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Janji - premium trail running apparelSupport the show
Keď bežíte 44 hodín vkuse, konáre stromov vyzerajú ako lietajúce hady a kravy pri ceste sa vám prihovárajú. A ultramaratónec Jaroslav Dej o tom vie svoje. Presne to totiž s kamarátom zažívali počas UTMB – jedného z najlegendárnejších ultratrailových behov v Európe. 164 kilometrov, prevýšenie 9000 metrov a približne dva dni strávené behom. Jaroslav by na tento beh nešiel bez bravčových oškvarkov a jeho najväčším nepriateľom boli otlaky. O živote ultramaratónca, o extrémne náročných behoch, ale aj o blaženom pocite pred cieľovou rovinkou – aj o tom je nový diel Nedeľnej Talkshow s ultramaratóncom a horským sprievodcom Jaroslavom Dejom.
Pour ce nouvel épisode de notre série Patreon, on donne la parole à un trailer de la communauté du LTP, tiré au sort : Nico (encore un) Nicolas Ouary.À un peu plus de 50 ans, Nico vit aujourd'hui à Nantes, mais c'est dans les Alpes qu'il a fait grandir sa passion de la montagne. Géologue de formation, ancien grimpeur et alpiniste, il a longtemps couru sur les sentiers… sans jamais porter de dossard. Pendant plus de vingt ans, courir n'a pas été une question de compétition, mais une façon simple et libre de profiter de la montagne.Et puis la vie a basculé. La maladie, puis le décès de son épouse Bénédicte en 2022, l'ont plongé dans une période très difficile. La course à pied est alors devenue sa bouée de sauvetage : un moyen de ne pas sombrer, une vraie bouffée d'oxygène, presque une méditation.En juillet 2024, à 50 ans passés, il accroche enfin son premier dossard, sur le Tour des Glaciers de la Vanoise — là même où il passait ses vacances d'enfant.Dans cet échange sincère et lumineux, Nico nous parle de deuil, de reconstruction et d'équilibre.Il explique pourquoi il ne court pas pour Bénédicte, mais avec elle.Il revient sur ses plus beaux moments en montagne, sur son passage le plus difficile lors de l'Échappée Belle, et sur une idée toute simple qui traverse tout l'épisode : prendre du temps pour soi, c'est aussi se donner l'énergie de prendre soin des autres.Un témoignage de courage et de résilience, qui rappelle que même quand la vie nous bouscule, on peut rester dans le mouvement.Bonne écoute !NB : Aucune rétribution n'est accordée aux podcasteurs de la part des plateformes de diffusionAucune publicité n'est diffusée sur le LTPLe seul moyen de faire en sorte que tout le travail réalisé puisse être rétribué et que le podcast puisse perdurer est d'apporter votre soutien financier via la plateforme PATREON : Pour soutenir le projet et intégrer la communauté des Patrailons c'est par là :https://www.patreon.com/lets_trail_le_podcastSelon le niveau d'engagement : -> Possibilité de participer à des des épisodes en tant que co-animateur-> Intégration de la communauté Capuccino permettant de communiquer régulièrement via des messages audioPour rejoindre la communauté LTP Les principaux liens c'est par ici :Ce petit geste permet d'augmenter la visibilité du podcast.

A former University of Arizona track and cross country runner turned competitive ultrarunner, Zach brings a unique perspective to the 250-mile distance, drawing on experience from UTMB's CCC and golden ticket races that set him apart from much of the field.In this episode, Zach breaks down the full arc of his race: the unexpected mental fog of running in a lead pack, a costly navigation blunder through the Fain Ranch section, a "hero dose" creatine experiment that left him feeling like he was having an out-of-body experience, and a deeply emotional low on the climb to Schnebly Hill that had him questioning everything — followed by one of his strongest sections of the race. He also reflects on sleep strategy (or lack thereof), the difference between giving up and quitting, and what it means to voluntarily choose suffering in a sport where so many face it without a choice.We also get his inside look at how Cody Poskin, Joe McConaughy, and Courtney Dauwalter race these things, a quick breakdown of his training approach and what he'd do differently, and why he'd come back and do it all over again.Plus: basketball at mile 107, OpenFuel's mission to reduce plastic waste in the sport, and the manifesting of future MBA podiums.
Writer and ultrarunner Gaël Dutigny joins us to talk about his Ultra Running Magazine article, "Fear Isn't a Weakness," and why fear may be one of the most misunderstood tools in endurance sports. Gaël shares how, even after finishing UTMB four times and racing in deserts, jungles, mountains, and even Iraq during wartime, fear still shows up before and during big efforts. The conversation reframes fear not as something to suppress, but as information that can sharpen decision-making, expose your true "why," and help you respect the environment you're moving through. We also talk about the thin line between fear that freezes you and fear that helps you function, especially in long mountain races where fatigue, darkness, cutoffs, hallucinations, and self-doubt all start stirring the pot. One of the most useful takeaways for trail runners is that mental preparation deserves the same attention as physical training, because knowing yourself may be just as important as knowing your pace, gear, or nutrition plan.

Scott opens the conversation by asking whether fear on the trail is something to overcome or something that may actually guide us. 02:40 | Why Gaël Wrote About Fear Gaël explains how decades of running in mountains, deserts, jungles, and difficult environments shaped his view that fear is a deep part of the sport. 05:15 | Why Experience Doesn't Eliminate Fear Even after multiple UTMB finishes and other major races, Gaël shares why fear still shows up and why that may be healthy. 11:30 | Training Fear Before Race Day The discussion turns to how runners can practice facing fear in training, whether that means darkness, distance, terrain, isolation, or uncertainty. 21:20 | Fear as a Decision-Making Tool: How fear can sharpen awareness and help runners make better choices instead of simply pushing blindly forward. 27:15 | Mental Health as Performance Training Gaël makes the case that talking to a sports psychologist or therapist is not weakness, but another form of training for hard things. 44:20 | Fear, DNFs, and Knowing Your Why The group talks about how fear of failure, social pressure, and shallow motivation can unravel a race when things get hard.
After a few chaotic weeks away from the mic, Katie is back and catching up with Leah on everything that's unfolded lately, from her son's type 1 diabetes diagnosis to the emotional whiplash of balancing family crisis with training, racing, and everyday life. It's an honest conversation about what happens when running suddenly takes a backseat, and how both of them are navigating UTMB build-up while life keeps throwing curveballs.They also get into local race wins, steep Salt Lake climbs, late-night mountain runs, Western States pacing plans, Broken Arrow prep, and the momentum women's trail running is carrying right now after huge performances from Rachel Entrekin, Tove Alexandersson, and more. Through all of it, this episode comes back to the same idea: running can be part of your life without being your entire identity.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A big shout out to our new sponsor Precision Fuel & Hydration.

Trail running usually becomes real for people at a local ultra, not while watching UTMB or Western States online. The parking lot at 5am with 53 runners, one exhausted race director, and volunteers giving up their Saturday to help strangers keep moving is still the clearest entry point into the sport. This episode is for the runners who believe the soul of trail running still lives there.Josh explores why the local 50K may be the most important layer in trail running, how participation precedes fandom in ultra culture, why authenticity in trail running still feels earned instead of performed, and why the small grassroots races that built the sport are becoming increasingly fragile in the modern era of spectacle, prestige, and professionalization.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps02:52 The Turning Point of the Race03:57 The Ecosystem of Trail Running07:45 The Local Ultra: An Introduction to Trail Running Culture11:22 The Challenges of Local Trail Races18:00 The Importance of Local Races in Trail RunningResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack
Kia ora e te whānau. We ran away and joined the circus. And it was cool as hell. No, not that dork-fest in the desert, but a true example of community and fellowship at the 2026 Hoka Ultra Trail Australia by UTMB. These are incredible four days in the majesty of the Blue Mountains. Ali and Matt were privileged to lead a brilliant conversation with some of the biggest talents in Trail and Ultra Running on Friday, after the first of our live shows was rained off. We speak with Beth McKenzie, Ruth Croft, Dan Jones, and two-time Leadville champ (and kangaroo victim) Adrian MacDonald. We'll be running down the highs and lows, drama, and hilarity of yapping on the mic during this wonderful week away. We would like to acknowledge every single person who toe'd the line in the 11, 22, 50, 100 km, and 100-mile distances. We appreciate the effort, courage, and sacrifice you and your families made to be here.

She won Western States, Hardrock, and UTMB — sometimes back to back to back in the same summer. She came to Cocodona 250 last year, led the entire field through 108 miles, and stopped at Mingus Mountain. She ran a 2:38 road marathon in the fall because she wanted to feel like a beginner at something. She is back.In this episode of Flagstaff Bound 2026, Kevin and Peter sit down with Courtney Dauwalter for a conversation about what this distance actually requires from her — patience, adventure, and progress that looks different depending on which part of the roller coaster you're on. Courtney talks about what a full reset after UTMB actually looked like, why rediscovering the road marathon reignited something she didn't know needed reigniting, and how she thinks about racing something this long when every decision you make on day one compounds across day two, night two, and day three.She also asked if there were NBA jerseys at the Mingus Basketball Association. There are. She is extremely ready.Her chalkboard message at Mingus Mountain is a letter to herself: dear Courtney, this is not your finish line. Love Courtney.Her prediction for Cocodona 2026 is that at least 1,500 pickles will be consumed across all race distances. She needs Jamil and the team to count.Cocodona 250 kicks off Monday, May 4th at 5 AM Pacific. Follow the action live on the Mountain Outpost YouTube channel.

The UTMB Index and race scores have become increasingly significant in the global trail running ecosystem. The Index upstream of sponsorship and race entry opportunities for pros, it allows fans to gauge who is performing best on the world's stage, and it helps media members contextualize performances across years, distances, and different course terrains. Today the UTMB Index is evolving in some subtle yet important ways. Joining me to talk all about it are Adrian Vincentand Karen Merlin — two members of the team who worked on this new system and are well qualified to explain how things are changing and what it means for the sport.
