"Running is running is running, and I love it all." Courtney Dauwalter returns to the Ali on the Run Show — this time as a 2:49 marathoner! Courtney is an ultra runner who is best known for her GOAT-status success on the trails. In 2023, she became the first person to win Western States, the Hardrock 100, and UTMB int he same year. Earlier this year, she won Hardrock in a women's course record: 26 hours 11 minutes and 49 seconds. Most recently, Courtney's been hitting the roads! She just completed the Twin Cities Marathon — her first marathon in more than a decade — in 2:49. But it's not about the time on the clock for Courtney. In this conversation, she talks about why she wanted to run a road marathon, why Twin Cities, and why now. Plus, an exciting announcement about what's next.

Los paisajes imponentes de las Barrancas del Cobre y el espíritu indomable de los Tarahumaras junto a las participacipones de los Raramuris en Leadville están en el imaginario colectivo del mundo del trailrunning como uno de los lugares y personajes míticos de nuestro deporte. La primera edición de la Chihuahua by UTMB rindió homenaje a las Barrancas y a sus protagonistas, a la vez que abrió la puerta a Mexico como referente mundial del trail running. Una experiencia inolvidable que nuestro compañero David Sánchez haro tuvo la oportunidad de vivir en primera persona y que comparte en Sweet Home Alabama.

Sometimes the hardest race isn't 100 miles through the mountains - it's figuring out who you are when everything in your life changes.Amanda is a professional trail runner and endurance coach with a Bachelor of Science degree from Oregon State University. She has coached endurance athletes for 10 years in everything from 5k - 200 miles. She is an Oregonian originally and now lives and trains in Colorado. Amanda ran collegiately for a couple years and then got into road marathons. It wasn't until 2014 that she discovered trail running after an injury from pounding the pavement. Amanda was instantly hooked and jumped into the ultra scene. She's very competitive so she made it a goal to become an elite trail runner. She accomplished that goal in 2015 and won the 50 mile USATF Trail Championships as her first race as a professional. After that, she traveled the world and raced as many of the top trail races as she could, including Western States 100, UTMB, CCC, Tarawera and Ultra Trail Capetown.Jon chats with Amanda about:Struggling with imposter syndrome as a professional runnerSports psychology workMoving from ultra volume to speed work and shorter distancesBalancing professional obligations with family lifeRedefining success and moving beyond performance metricsStay connected:Follow Amanda:https://www.instagram.com/amanda_basham/Amanda's Website:https://www.amandabasham.com/This episode is supported by:Janji: Use code “FTLR” at checkout when shopping at janji.com for 10% off your order and see why Janji is the go-to for runners who want performance gear made to explore.

It's a full plate this week on The Free Outside Show. I'm diving into Terminus Season—that bittersweet time when thru-hikers take the photo, post it, and wonder what's next. Then we get into Trail TMZ, where a defamation lawsuit is brewing, and I try not to get sued for talking about it.From there, we climb the philosophical peaks of Richard Feynman, Christopher McCandless, and Killian Jornet, somehow connecting it all back to neuromas, the UTMB money machine, and why you should just do the thing—even if nobody understands it.There's science (a running study that might change how you train), there's gossip (Wikipedia wars are back), and there's reflection (because post-trail life is weird).As always—stay mid-America, stay elite, and remember: nothing matters, but also everything does.support our sponsors: CSinstant.coffeejanji.comgaragegrowngear.comChapters00:00 Observations on Social Interactions02:36 Navigating Post-Adventure Challenges05:44 The Dynamics of Ultra Running Events08:29 Understanding Terminus Season and Post-Trail TransitionSubscribe 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

And this past summer, Dr. Lauren Puretz was the top American finisher at UTMB 100.In this episode of the Active Mom Podcast, Lauren shares what it takes to juggle medicine, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and elite ultrarunning. From her start in high school track, to stepping back during med school and residency, to rediscovering running after kids—Lauren's story is one of resilience, grit, and grace.We dive into:Running ultras while raising kidsWearing multiple hats—mom, doctor, athlete, business ownerNavigating mom guilt and giving yourself graceFrom med school to launching her own women's health practiceWhy collaboration between OB/GYNs & pelvic health PTs matters for women at every stage

Today Aimee is joined by David Sinclair, a Craft mountain athlete that has been tearing up the scene for years now. He had a stellar race, most recently placing second at CCC at UTMB in France a few weeks ago. Though this is his most recent accomplishment, he holds the course record at JFK 50, won the USATF 50K championships, and was named #3 Ultrarunner of the Year last year… among a long list of impressive race finishes.

This week we barely had enough time to squeeze in a podcast recording with so much going on. We kicked things off with updates on Eric's Fireflies Patagonia film, Team TTL sign-ups, Paula's Junkyard Dogs podcast recording, Nick riding bikes with Jan Frodeno, and even a surprise guest appearance from pro triathlete Jackie Herring — all before diving into Bike Tech with Eric and listener-submitted questions.This week on the TTL triathlon podcast, we discussed:Flared handlebarsPlanning for trail conditions and safety in new placesFlynn's favorite post-activity snackBike escorts for leaders in triathlon racesSwim paddles and how to use them in workoutsHow to handle bad road conditions during a raceA big thank you to our podcast supporters who keep the podcast alive!

This week we dive into a packed show, starting with a look at the Kona “wild cards,” the women outside the obvious favourites who could still make a big impact on race day. We then turn to Jan Frodeno, who swapped triathlon for trail and did something special at the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB, winning his age group over the 55 km course in his debut appearance. In race results we cover Ironman Chattanooga, the XTERRA World Championships, and Ironman Wales before recapping WTCS Weihai where Max Studer and Beth Potter took the wins. Finally, we look ahead to Supertri Toulouse and ask the big questions: can anyone stop Jeanne Lehair, and is Vasco Vilaça on track to win the entire series?

In this episode, Dani and Emkay break down the biggest moments from World Champs, including Tove Alexandersson's historic short trail win, Rémi Bonnet's jaw-dropping climb in the uphill championship, and Nina Engelhard's impressive double medal performance. They also update their Trail Athlete of the Year and Performance of the Year picks as the race for 2025 heats up with three months still to go. To wrap things up, they dive into the brand-new UTMB qualifying rules and what these changes could mean for athletes and the future of the sport.Photo Credit: Ryan Thrower @ryanthrowerFollow us:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @emkaysulli ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠|⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dan_yell_a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@the_subhub_pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Sponsors:Neversecond: Use code SUBHUB25 for 25% off your purchase--⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠never2.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wild Strides Paper Co⁠⁠ - Use code SUBHUB15 for 15% off our collab sicker packBeekeepers Natural: Use code SUBHUB20 for 20% off your purchase--⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.beekeepersnaturals.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pit Viper:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click this link for 20% off at checkout

Send us a textWhat if the best prep for a world-stage 50K isn't altitude at all—but rock, root, and relentless decision-making? That's the case Ben Robinson makes as we dive into his Grindstone 50K win, an OCC qualifier that doubled as redemption after a brutal DNF during a rabies vaccine saga the year before. From Pennsylvania's Roxylvania series to Alaska's Mount Marathon chaos, Ben maps a season where the Northeast's technical terrain becomes a training edge, not a compromise, and where joy beats pressure as a performance tool.We trace Ben's arc from Lock Haven long runs to short-trail evangelist, race director, and community builder. He breaks down what makes PA special—Heiner's culture, Boulder Beast's car-sized rocks, and Miller Mountain's steep, clean design—then gets specific about permitting, landowner trust, and why a cookout can be the most important gear choice of race day. We go deep on Mount Marathon strategy (cliffs vs roots), how to commit on snowfields and scree without blinking, and why downhill skill is often the true separator. He explains the switch from pro-contract pressure to free agency freedom, how self-coaching lets him fit training around a full-time job and board roles, and how rebuilding his why—love of the sport, service to others, growth through difficulty—made him faster.We also zoom out. Cirque Series growth in the Northeast? Good for the sport when courses stay honest. UTMB structure vs the Olympics? Keep the edges sharp and the terrain real. World Championships takeaways? Technical venues reveal depth; surprise performances are a feature, not a bug. Ben's near-term path points to OCC, a Javelina 100 experiment, and a Skyrunner Series return, plus bucket-list aims like Transvulcania and Western States—not as résumé items but as pilgrimages worth the work.If you're into East Coast grit, skyrunning energy, and practical insight on training, race directing, and building a life that can hold it all, this one's for you.

Send us a textWhat does it take to race at a world-class level when running itself isn't an option? We sit with Meikael Beaudoin-Rousseau to trace a brutal knee injury—down to bone—and the long, confusing road back: tendon thickening, scar pain that burns like hot iron, false starts, and a fitness base built on a handbike, arms-only swims, and an elliptical. Meika is candid about uncertainty and the daily choice to believe that today could be the first day of the comeback. Then we go deep on what that mindset looks like on the start line, from a med-tent finish at Pikes Peak to a podium at the Rut VK, and how trail racing rewards whole-body fitness even when mileage is scarce.We widen the lens to the life that makes the athlete. Meika's a tri-citizen (United States, France, Canada) who grew up in California splitting time between ocean and Sierra, now based in Boulder's running community. He talks gardening, ocean kayak fishing with whales and dolphins, and the grounding joy of catching and cooking his own food. We cover Stanford, discovering pro trail running through Megan and David Roche, and why sub-ultra distances still feel like home while 50K races like OCC/CCC pull him toward longer adventures that feel like missions.The future of the sport takes center stage: how sub-ultra is booming, why FKTs and personal mountain projects should live alongside race series, and the role of storytelling in building real fandom. Meika shares honest takes on sponsorship trends, Brooks' investment in sub-ultra, anti-doping beyond race-day tests, world championships versus UTMB, and the calendar coordination needed for true head-to-heads. Through it all, he stays focused on longevity and authenticity—keeping the community feel while growing prize money, media, and opportunity.If this conversation fires you up, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a quick rating and review to help more trail fans find the show.

Marisa Romeo never ceases to blow my mind. To be in the top 25 women at the biggest ultra trail running race in the world is unbelievable...she was 22nd by the way. I had to hear her story, and it did not disappoint. Going in with a great mental state and just reveling in the fact that she was even there was the perfect way to approach the start line. She was ready. Hear about her journey through these majestic mountains, battling crazy cold weather, and overcoming some personal lows and other issues. I found it so interesting to hear two different experiences of this same race back to back (Katti and Marisa). Both women are so strong, and I feel blessed to sit back and watch them excel. Thank you, Marisa, for coming back on the podcast. I SO enjoy our 'catch up times'. I certainly hope you can make your way back to UTMB, and I'll continue to be one of your biggest fans. :)Marisa's website: https://www.marisaromeo.comMarisa's coach: Ryne Anderson with CTSThank you for listening!

Dans cet épisode #283, je vous propose un échange avec :Gaëtan Lainé fidèle paTRAILon du LTP, il a réalisé notamment le FKT (Fastest Known Time) de la traversée des Vosges avant cet été ;Loïc Jalmin fidèle, que vous connaissez peut-être comme le partenaire de défis fous, ou “Off”, d'Alexandre Boucheix @‌casquetteverte (cf épisode Ça part en trail #221 ).Qu'est-ce qui peut motiver un “projet off” ?Et puis d'abord, qu'est-ce qu'on appelle “un off” ?Loin des objectifs de performance au sens de la compétition ou tout ce que l'on peut associer au fait de porter un dossard, se lancer dans un off correspond généralement à définir un parcours plus ou moins long existant, plus ou moins emblématique, comme la traversée ou le tour d'un massif, ou simplement un projet personnel qui revêt une symbolique particulière pour celui qui l'imagine.Cela requiert surtout quelques points de vigilance, et notamment, celui de ne pas se surestimer. Pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité, dans un contexte bien moins encadré que sur une course, partir sur un off nécessite plus que jamais de s'équiper d'une bonne dose d'humilité.Préparation des points de ravitaillement, avec passages dans des villages, à proximité de magasins, d'accès à l'eau ; anticipation des zones de danger (nuit, altitude, technicité…), parcours de replis… On est loin de la préparation “classique” d'une sortie trail.On retrouve d'ailleurs des similitudes avec la préparation d'un FKT, et vous allez voir que derrière ce qui paraît parfois un peu farfelu de loin, il y a en réalité une préparation colossale et minutieuse.Alors avis aux amateurs : cet épisode vous permettra de prendre conscience de ce qu'implique d'envisager un Off, et de mettre toutes les chances de votre côté pour que tout se déroule au mieux.Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute !Liens entendus dans l'épisode : Site Fastest Known Time (FKT) LTP#44 DEMANDE CONSEIL A FRED BOUSSEAU - TRAIL ET SECURITE EN MONTAGNELTP#270 ANIMAUX ET TRAILLTP#210 CHASSE ET TRAILOutils cités dans l'épisode :https://ignrando.fr/fr/https://www.camptocamp.org/https://www.altituderando.com/--Le 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_podcastHébergé par Ausha.

Send us a textWhat happens when you throw away your carefully crafted race plan and follow your intuition instead? For elite mountain runner Remi Leroux, it meant transforming a 15-race schedule into nearly 25 events across two continents in a single summer.Diving deep into his whirlwind season, Remi shares how his partnership with Brooks teammate Dan has pushed him toward spontaneity and risk-taking. Their contrasting personalities—Dan's high-energy spontaneity balanced against Remy's thoughtful approach—created the perfect dynamic for an unforgettable European racing campaign. From training camps in Les Houches to competing alongside the Brooks team at Golden Trail Series events and during UTMB week, Remy found himself surrounded by a professional team atmosphere that elevated his performance.The conversation explores Remi's victory at Cirque Series Cannon Mountain despite racing with a significant foot injury, his surprising 5th place finish at the hyper-competitive ETC race, and his specific preparation for the upcoming World Mountain Running Championships in Spain. With remarkable self-awareness, Remy analyzes his strengths—particularly his ability to climb efficiently after descending—and how he's tailoring his training for the unique demands of championship mountain racing.Perhaps most compelling is Remi's perspective on representing Team Canada on the world stage. Beyond personal achievement, he sees international performance as crucial for growing competitive mountain running in Canada, shifting perceptions from casual recreation to serious sport. His measured ambition—targeting a top-10 finish against running powerhouses like Kenya, Uganda, and Italy—reveals both humility and confidence.Join us for this fascinating glimpse into elite mountain running through the eyes of an athlete who's learned that sometimes the best decisions come from following your gut rather than your spreadsheet. Whether you're chasing podiums or personal bests, Remy's journey offers valuable insights on balancing structure with spontaneity in pursuit of your running goals.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

The past few weeks have been packed. I went from commentating at UTMB, straight into hosting and running CrestHooch127, and then rolled right into putting on HAOS Training Camp for the athletes. In this episode, I catch you up on everything, share some stories, and dive into the races and unordinary sports that keep life moving fast.

Voici le RÉCAP D+ du 22 septembre 2025, le flash info du trail signé Distances+ présenté par Franck Berteau et Chloé Rebaudo, à écouter en quelques minutes chaque lundi.Au sommaire cette semaine : la victoire de Mathieu Blanchard sur la Barkley Fall Classic qui lui octroie un ticket pour l'édition 2026 de la Barkley Marathons. Reste à savoir si le Franco-Canadien souhaitera en bénéficier. Dans l'actualité également, la grande forme des Français sur le Wildstrubel by UTMB, en Suisse, et la fin d'une longue semaine en Italie, sur les sentiers du Val d'Aoste, où s'est déroulé le Tor des Géants.

Joe Grant has always blurred the lines between athlete and artist. From racing UTMB and Hardrock to biking between Colorado 14ers, Joe's career has evolved into something bigger than competition—projects that fuse endurance, place, and creativity. In this conversation, Joe joins hosts Zoë Rom and Brendan Leonard to talk about his journey from racing to FKTs to local San Juan projects, why he ditched the watch, and how he balances gear geekery with poetry and film photography. If you've ever wondered how running can fuel creative work—or vice versa—this episode goes deep into what it means to truly be present on the trail.

I was so pumped to follow several runners on their journey through the mountains of France, Switzerland and Italy during the UTMB 100 miler. One of these incredible runners was Katti Jackson, and I stalked her on the live tracking until she crossed the finish line back in Chamonix. Little did I know the ups and downs she fought through to get there. I purposely did not look at any of her recaps of the race, because I wanted to hear directly from her first hand. I wish I could describe how strong she is, but her performance out there after a horrific first night, speaks to this better than words can. Now, she may not think so, as I could see the disappointment in her face as she spoke about her experience. But that's what I love about Katti...her her hunger to just get better combined with a humility that makes her unstoppable. She will come back to take on this course again...I just know it. Thank you, Katti, for sharing your journey. I treasured every second of our time.

Oscar W. “Skip” Brown, MD, is our guest this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast. He lays out the keys to building a fulfilling retirement and acknowledges the severe consequences of simply “doing nothing” with the windfall of time on your hands. As a clinical professor of pediatrics with UTMB in Galveston, Texas, Dr. Brown has accumulated numerous accolades over his illustrious career. He is the immediate past vice chair for clinical affairs and former chief medical officer at UTMB. As a past president of the Texas Pediatric Society (TPS), he is a recipient of the TPS Charles W. Daeschner, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award, for his contributions to the health and welfare of the children of Texas. He joined us to map out some serious considerations we should all keep in mind as we approach the twilight stages of our full-time careers. "You've got to have a plan for what you're going to do with yourself with all the time you're about to create. And it is very bad for you—very bad for you, emphasized with giant capital letters—to just have time," Dr. Brown stressed. Questions? You can contact him via email here to learn more: owbrown@utmb.edu, and you can visit the Faculty Factory website for more resources: https://facultyfactory.org/.  

This week, we celebrated Allison's being officially named to Team USA for the World 50K Championship by going back over a few things that Bobby Norwood said during our interview last week. We also analyzed some of the results from Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), one of the biggest and most prestigious ultra races in the United States. Finally, we discussed a recent article in the New York Times that described a small study by a Virginia oncologist that seemed to suggest a link between distance running and colon cancer. While it's still preliminary, there are some good takeaways for endurance athletes like us!

On this episode of the Trail Network Podcast, hosts Leah Yingling and Rachel Drake welcome Carolina Rubio-MacWright, a New York City–based lawyer, immigrant, mother, and advocate for marginalized communities. Carolina shares her remarkable story of balancing advocacy, family, and running, culminating in her recent finish at UTMB in just over 45 hours.The conversation explores her work supporting immigrant communities, her perspective on making trail running more inclusive, and the powerful ways individuals can create meaningful change. Carolina also reflects on what it meant to “close the loop” at UTMB and how her personal journey has shaped her impact both on and off the trails.This episode is edited and produced by the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network.A special thank you to Osprey for supporting this episode.

She did it! This episode recaps many of the physical and mental insights Elena picked up while racing for over 29 hours at the world's most competitive and well-known 100-mile ultramarathon. We cover: what the energy in Chamonix is like during race week; how Elena prepped mentally and physically in the days and hours leading up to the race start; what the experience is like for crew and spectators; how she mentally and physically navigated feeling worse than expected in the first 20 miles of the race; how she dealt with insane weather conditions including rain, mud, cold, and snow through the night; the story behind the broken pole; what the last 30 miles felt like once she realized she was going to finish; how Elena is feeling now; and what's next on her running and racing scene. We also hit an interesting insight related to Boston Marathon registration and pregnancy race deferral policies at big races. This was such a fun episode to record, and we're so psyched for Elena on her huge accomplishment (did we mention 18th in the world?!)—check it out!To view extended show notes for this episode, visit: theendurancedrive.com/podcast To share feedback or ask questions to be featured on a future episode, please use ⁠this form⁠ or email: Katie@TheEnduranceDrive.com.

In this episode, Tommie and Ern discuss their dream sponsors, preferences for coffee, and experiences with family vacations at theme parks. They delve into the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc experience, highlighting the challenges and beauty of the event. The conversation shifts to the Sydney Marathon, its significance as a world major, and the rise of celebrity-run clubs, particularly focusing on figures like Gunna and Norrie. The hosts emphasize the positive impact of celebrity involvement in running culture and the importance of community in promoting health and fitness. In this episode, Tommie Runz discusses the importance of self-care for artists, particularly those on tour, and how many musicians prioritize their health. The conversation shifts to the competitive landscape of marathon shoes, highlighting the dominance of brands like Adidas and Nike, while also acknowledging emerging brands. The episode explores innovative hydration solutions and the impact of luxury brands on the running community. Additionally, the discussion touches on brand perceptions, the quirks of runners, and the controversial trend of incorporating alcohol into running culture.

We had a shocking change of feelings about shockingly ugly shoes before this amazing episode! The main topic was a pair of studies on energy expenditure and replenishment. The first was a case study that found massive energy needs beyond base metabolic rate for a full week after an ultra. We zoom out to discuss what that could mean for energy needs during hard training.The second study examined muscle v. liver glycogen replenishment, highlighting how difficult it can be to stay on top of energy needs. It also featured cod. Cod is a big theme in this episode.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: treadmill workouts, an update on the ugly shoe debate from last week, our favorite probiotic and multivitamin, road supershoes for ultras, Tom Evans' fueling strategy at UTMB, how the use of pacing statistics may change the game, high-dose creatine to counter sleep deprivation, timing of big training weeks before races, heart rate zones v. feel, overcoming injury cycles, our theories for altitude performance, speed v. freshness in workouts, whether the pain cave exists in shorter events, using stairs in training, and lots more.This one was full of love, laughs, and cod.

In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Keely Henninger, and Hillary Allen dive into one of the biggest weeks in trail running, the 2025 UTMB Finals. From brutal weather and historically high dropout rates to some of the closest top-10 finishes ever, the crew breaks down all the drama across OCC, CCC, and UTMB. They highlight standout wins from Jim Walmsley, Ruth Croft, and Francesco Puppi, celebrate trailblazing performances from athletes representing countries new to the UTMB stage, and reflect on the growing but still uneven women's participation numbers. Beyond the race results, they explore what it means for athletes to double between UTMB, Hardrock, and upcoming World Championships, and touch on the ever-buzzing brand scene in Chamonix. Beyond the race, the crew highlights systemic challenges in sport: Strava and For All Mothers+ awarded $2,000 grants to 50 athlete-mothers to cover childcare costs and training expenses, directly addressing the “motherhood penalty” that prevents so many women from competing at the highest level. Tune in for a mix of insights, stories from the ground, and the unique perspective only this crew can bring.

"What are we even going to talk about? We just did an episode last week..." - Des and Kara before they blink and produce 70 minutes of glorious podcast content. As such, this "short" episode turned long in all of the best ways. It starts with a laugh-inducing intro with life updates from Des and Kara and ultra training updates from Des. Then, they get into all of the latest running news - 20K US Champs, Sydney Marathon, UTMB, DL Final, GST, and a suprising and very maddening US doping positive. From leopard-print pajamas to Red Fox Regattas and all the running news that is fit to talk about, this episode was the best kind of "short," meaning that the time listening to it will fly by!

We loaded up on sympathy baguettes for UTMB racers before recording this great episode! The main topic was digesting everything from UTMB week, including Jim Walmsley reinforcing his GOAT status, Courtney Dauwalter reinforcing hers, the coolest coaching story ever from Scott Johnston (who coached Ruth Croft and Tom Evans to UTMB wins), training takeaways, and so much more! The science breakdown looked at a new study that is being used to argue that low carb doesn't hurt high-intensity performance. We dive into the study design and statistics to show why that's the wrong conclusion. And this one had so many great topics! Other topics: going dark on the trails, Megan's new fast shoe, our trail supershoe rundown, the new Champion Plan for 100k to 100 miles, the minimum dose of passive heat training, using weight vests, what makes a good coach, a relationship question, relying on liquid carbs, engaging the glutes, drinking from streams, and climbing form.What's for dinner? We'll take the European Aid Station--baguettes, sausage, cheese, sparkling water, techno music, and being unable to drop out due to the language barrier.We love you all!
