I'm so excited to share this conversation with Ryan Montgomery, who placed third at Western States this year in a huge breakthrough race. The top three men all broke Jim Walmsley's previous course record, with Ryan running 13:53. This was his fourth consecutive year running Western States after placing seventh twice, and to say this was a breakthrough is a bit of an understatement. Being in the top 10 at Western States is a huge deal, but being on the podium is an even bigger deal. We talk about Ryan's history with running, how he fell in love with long distances, and the journey it took to get to this level. A lot of people might not know that his first 100-mile race took him 28 hours. The process he's walked through to achieve these really high-level goals is fascinating. He is truly dedicated to the craft. We also get into the backstory of Ryan's life and so much more. He set the FKT on the Wonderland Trail in 2020, placed second at the Javelina 100 in 2021, and recently earned his MBA from Dartmouth. I don't always get off an interview feeling like I really know a person, and I really felt like I knew Ryan at the end of this conversation. I loved this one so much. Ryan is also the founder of Out Trails and shares more about that in this conversation. We'll link all of the resources we talk about in the show notes.

Molly Seidel was running well at Western States. In the top ten for the first fifty-ish miles, racing where she knew she belonged. Then by mile sixty-two she was ready to quit, in pain, angry at herself, with thirty-eight miles left and nothing to race...

Pendant longtemps, David Michel était convaincu d'une chose : la Western States n'était pas faite pour lui.Dans cet épisode de Course Épique, je reçois le chef de service des sports extrêmes au sein de L'Équipe pour revenir sur une aventure qui dépasse largement le cadre d'une simple course.La Western States 100 n'était pas un objectif de longue date. C'était un rêve qui semblait inaccessible. Jusqu'au jour où il a décidé de tenter l'impossible.David revient sur son parcours singulier : son premier marathon à New York à 19 ans, sa carrière de journaliste construite pas à pas, son arrivée dans l'univers du trail et ce sentiment tenace de ne jamais vraiment être à sa place. Jusqu'à ce que l'idée de prendre le départ de la Western s'impose. Une idée folle pour celui qui se considérait encore comme un simple marathonien.Au fil de notre échange, il raconte neuf mois d'une préparation minutieuse, son accompagnement par Maryline Nakache, les doutes, les sacrifices, l'attente, mais aussi cette fascination quotidienne pour la course.Il partage les coulisses d'une préparation de course hors norme, son arrivée en Californie, le vertige ressenti en se retrouvant aux côtés de Kilian Jornet, Jim Walmsley ou Vincent Bouillard sur la ligne de départ, et ce combat intérieur qui commence lorsque le corps cesse de répondre.Entre course à pied, ultra-trail, endurance, quête de légitimité et amour du running, cet épisode raconte surtout l'histoire d'un homme qui apprend à croire en lui. Une histoire de syndrome de l'imposteur, de persévérance et de passion, où l'essentiel n'est finalement pas le chrono, mais le chemin parcouru pour oser prendre le départ.Un échange sincère et inspirant, qui donne follement envie de courir... et d'oser poursuivre les rêves que l'on croyait réservés aux autres.***Course Épique, c'est le podcast running et trail qui vous fait vivre dans chaque épisode une histoire de course à pied hors du commun.Pour ne rien manquer de notre actualité et vivre les coulisses du podcast, suivez-nous sur Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/courseepique.podcast/Retrouvez également Course Epique en vidéo sur YouTube : https://bit.ly/courseepique_youtubeCourse Épique, un podcast imaginé et animé par Guillaume Lalu et produit par Sportcast Studios Hébergé par Acast.

Only twenty people have finished the Barkley Marathons in forty years. John Kelly has finished it twice. But between those two finishes, he quit from first place after two loops because he already knew what the remaining sixty hours would cost, and it did not seem worth it.   Joe De Sena sits down with John, an ultra runner who has covered 260 miles through January storms on the Pennine Way, chased the Appalachian Trail speed record for 1,900 miles before injury stopped him 300 miles short, and built an altitude chamber in his home office to fix the one weakness his body refused to train away.   They break down the difference between short-race decay and ultra-distance recovery cycles, why the sunk-cost fallacy can actually keep you alive past mile eighty, and how Kelly applied the resilience he built through running when Hurricane Helene destroyed his community.   Things You Will Learn: The difference between short-race decay and ultra-distance low points and why confusing them causes most DNFs. Why the runner who quit from first place at the hardest race on earth came back and finished it two more times. A three-part framework for pushing through collapse: zoom out, zoom in, and treat the low point as the lesson. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Zoom Out / Zoom In: When you hit a low, zoom out to remember everything you invested and why quitting now would waste it. Then zoom in to the next step, the next hill, the next aid station. Toggle between the two as needed. Voluntary Artificial Adversity: Deliberately choose controlled suffering in training and racing so that when real adversity arrives, the resilience muscle is already trained. Reframe the Goal After First Success: Once you have proven you can finish, shift the motivation from "Can I do this?" to "How much can I learn about myself?"   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Chapters: 0:00 Intro: John Kelly is running from an altitude chamber in his office 0:50 Finishing Barkley twice and how long he has been running 1:17 How fast can you still run a mile at 140 pounds 1:43 Nutrition changes as an aging ultra runner 2:07 The difference between training for a marathon and training for a hundred miler 2:21 Short-race decay vs. ultra-distance low points 3:48 David Horton's advice: it does not always get worse 4:12 Growing up in rural East Tennessee with no running culture 5:01 The kid who wanted to be a great explorer 6:06 Why mountains look different at running pace than at highway speed 7:21 The Barkley Marathons: 120 miles, 70,000 feet of elevation, 20 finishers in 40 years 9:08 The Appalachian Trail speed record attempt 10:09 Why the investment before the race determines grit inside the race 11:47 Four strategies for getting through the worst moments in a hundred miler 14:00 Quitting from first place at Barkley 14:27 Shifting from "Can I finish?" to "What can I learn about myself?" 15:15 Western States 100 and the shift back to speed 16:16 The Spine Race in January: why the worst conditions strip you to your core 17:02 The altitude chamber: an 8x8x8 cube simulating 14,000 feet 17:54 Why altitude resilience is DNA and adaptation, not just fitness 19:48 Three lessons from a man who runs unreasonable distances 20:05 Do not underestimate yourself 21:00 Voluntary artificial adversity: training the resilience muscle before you need it 22:07 Hurricane Helene destroyed his community and ultra running prepared him 23:06 Alex Honnold on missing a flight: perspective as a survival skill John Kelly is one of the most respected ultrarunners in the world, known for mastering the brutal Barkley Marathons while balancing life as a Tech Co-founder, machine learning expert, and father of four. In 2024, he became only the second person ever to finish Barkley three times, proving elite performance doesn't require a full-time athlete lifestyle. John approaches endurance like an engineering problem, using data, systems, and relentless experimentation to push beyond human limits. His story blends resilience, failure, discipline, and the pursuit of impossible challenges.   Connect to John: Website: https://randomforestrunner.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/randomforestrunner/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RandomForestRunner/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyjw

Western States made Canyon Woodward one of the top ultrarunners in America—but that's only part of his story.Before earning a top-10 finish at Western States, Canyon spent years organizing political campaigns in rural communities, helping flip a state senate seat through a 100% positive campaign, and learning how meaningful change happens one conversation at a time.In this episode, we talk about far more than racing. We discuss why community keeps us coming back to the trails, what endurance sports and organizing have in common, growing up in the remote mountain community of Stehekin, dealing with imposter syndrome, finding optimism in difficult times, and why shared experiences matter more than ever.If you've ever wondered whether running can teach us something about life beyond the finish line, this conversation is for you.Support 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

Healthy forests begin with better management before the next wildfire threatens wildlife, habitat, and communities. Wildfire smoke stretched across much of North America this summer, but the conversation goes far beyond poor air quality. Forest management, wildlife habitat, and the future of public lands all depend on the decisions being made today. Fred Bird sits down with CSF Senior Manager of Western States and Agriculture Policy Kent Keene to explain why the Fix Our Forests Act has become one of the most important conservation policy discussions in the country. They break down how prescribed fire, responsible timber management, and active forest restoration can reduce catastrophic wildfires while improving habitat for deer, elk, wild turkey, upland birds, and countless other wildlife species. The conversation also explores the unintended consequences of decades of fire suppression, why healthy forests require regular management, and how overcrowded timber stands create conditions for larger, hotter fires that devastate ecosystems, rural communities, and sportsmen alike. Listeners will gain a better understanding of how science-based conservation supports better hunting opportunities, healthier wildlife populations, and more resilient public lands for future generations.

Marianne Hogan est de retour au podcast après une autre performance exceptionnelle à la Western States 100. Pour une troisième fois en autant de participations, elle est montée sur la troisième marche du podium, en améliorant son chrono de près d'une heure par rapport à l'an dernier. Avec son chrono 2026, elle signe le cinquième meilleur chrono féminin de l'histoire du 100 miles le plus mythique au monde! Dans l'épisode, on revient en détail sur sa course, de sa préparation à Flagstaff jusqu'à sa traversée de la ligne d'arrivée à Auburn. On parle des kilomètres d'entraînement partagés avec Fuzhao Xiang, de la stratégie avec ses pacers Olivier et Victor, des moments où tout allait bien... et de ceux où il a fallu puiser profondément pour continuer à avancer. Mais au-delà du résultat, Marianne m'avait confié à son dernier passage au podcast qu'elle voulait faire une performance dont elle serait fière, peu importe le chrono et le classement. Quelques semaines après la course, elle a le recul pour analyser et partager ses impressions sur sa performance. Une conversation riche, nuancée et inspirante avec l'invitée chouchou du podcast.

Three weeks after Jennifer Lichter set a new course record at Western States, her coach John Fitzgerald joins the Singletrack Podcast to break down how it happened. Fitzgerald coaches an elite squad out of Missoula for Carmichael Training Systems, and this year he guided Jen to the win along with Jeff Mogavero and Adam Peterman into the men's top ten.We get into the philosophy underneath the results: why consistency is a trainable skill, why willpower is a resource you can spend too early, and what he means when he says success is rented. Fitzgerald explains the mental shift that took Jen from a mountain 50K specialist to a 100-mile course record holder, the on-course training camps that prepared his athletes for every crux of the Western States course, race-day fueling improvisations, downhill running as a skill, and his case for simplicity in a sport chasing every new gadget and lab test.Partners:Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next orderJanji - running apparel that goes the distanceRaide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever madeKodiak Cakes - my favorite oatmeal and pancakes Additional Links:Coaching ProfileInstagram: @ackfitzSupport the show

Riley Brady joins me on the podcast after an incredible performance at the 2026 Western States 100, where they finished second in 15:42:14, the third-fastest time ever run on the course. We talk all about Riley’s race, what changed since their previous Western States appearances, and how solving nutrition challenges transformed their racing. Riley shares why they felt like a true contender heading into race day after winning Black Canyon 100K and earning another Golden Ticket, as well as what it was like to race alongside Jen Lichter during one of the fastest Western States races in history. Riley also talks about joining Nike ACG, working with coach Adam Ferdinandsen, the support of their team, and what’s next as they prepare to take on the 100-mile race at UTMB.

Steve Holmberg and Matt Trappe are back for a debrief on one of the biggest weeks in trail running — Broken Arrow, Western States, and everything in between at TrailCon. Steve breaks down his state-of-the-industry analysis: why trail running's rebrand from "ultra running" unlocked massive new participation, why the sport is about to fragment the way mountain biking did decades ago, and why brands chasing "max" specs are about to pivot to "right" specs built specifically for trail. Then Matt takes listeners inside a project few people got to experience firsthand — a house in Tahoe built with Skratch and other partners, designed to bring brand leaders, athletes, and creators together without competitive walls. He explains the intention behind it, what happened when 37 of 40 people in the room spoke up during an unscripted conversation, and why some of the best moments of the week happened specifically because they weren't being recorded.

"Being able to go into a race where you are a rookie, it opened me up to take chances I wouldn't necessarily take. In the marathon, I felt like I got so scared of failing that I was really hesitant to make any moves, try anything big, or go for it. It was like a protective thing. 'I just want to play it safe so I can race as well as possible but not risk anything.' I think with this one, I went into this with nothing to lose. I'm gonna go out and try to race as well as I can and race hard and I know I'll probably make mistakes, but so what?" Earlier this year, Molly Seidel — the Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist in the marathon — went all-in on ultra running, earning a Golden Ticket to the prestigious 2026 Western States Endurance Run 100-miler. In this episode, Molly recaps her 100-mile debut, reflecting on the highs, lows, river crossings, and more. She finished the race in 24 hours, 29 minutes, and 27 seconds. She was the 28th woman to cross the line, and came in 141st out of 323 finishers. And we're joined by a special guest: Molly's girlfriend, Molly Reidy!

Fresh off a record-breaking performance at the 2026 Western States 100, Jennifer Lichter joins the podcast to share the story behind one of the most impressive breakthroughs in ultrarunning. Jenn won Western States in 15:28:05, breaking Courtney Dauwalter’s course record in her very first 100-mile race. Just a few months earlier, she won Black Canyon 100K and set another course record in her debut at that distance. In this conversation, Jenn reflects on the race itself, the mindset it took to stay present over 100 miles, and how she handled the pressure of chasing history. She also opens up about her childhood in Colombia, being adopted and moving to the United States, and how those experiences shaped the resilience and gratitude that define both her life and her running. We also talk about training with coach John Fitzgerald, her nutrition strategy, racing after battling a stomach bug just days before Western States, and what comes next as she looks toward the future. Topics covered:  Winning the 2026 Western States 100 Breaking Courtney Dauwalter’s course record Running a course record in her 100-mile debut Winning Black Canyon 100K in her first 100K Growing up in Colombia and being adopted Gratitude, resilience, and how hardship shaped her Training with coach John Fitzgerald Racing while recovering from a stomach bug Nutrition strategy at Western States Managing pressure and expectations during a 100-mile race Life in Missoula and training with Nike ACG Looking ahead to CCC at UTMB Sponsors: Goodr Goodr sunglasses are no-slip, no-bounce, all polarized, and actually affordable, with tons of fun styles and colors for summer.

Troy opens up about the decision to skip Laurel Highlands, why launching a new business changed his priorities, and how entrepreneurship and ultrarunning have more in common than most people realize.

We also discuss why making your easy days truly easy can unlock better recovery and long-term adaptation, how to know if you're actually absorbing your training, when it's okay to pivot a big goal that no longer fits your season of life, and practical ways to recalibrate your training if you're feeling stretched.

What does it actually mean to leave it all out there in an ultramarathon? And how do you do it without going all-in too early and completely blowing up your race?In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, I break down how to truly empty the tank on race day — not just by “trying harder,” but by making smarter decisions, pushing at the right moments, and learning how to override the voice in your head that tells you to slow down, sit down, or play it safe when you still have more to give.This episode was recorded from one of our Everyday Ultra athlete coaching calls, where I shared lessons from Western States, Cocodona 250, Javelina Jundred, and Tahoe 200 to explain how to push to your absolute limit while still racing smart.In this episode, we cover:What “emptying the tank” actually means in an ultraWhy most runners have more left than they thinkHow to separate pain from danger during a raceWhen to push harder based on effort, RPE, and race distanceWhy aid stations can destroy your momentum if you're not carefulHow carbs can help you push harder when things get toughHow to use past races where you didn't empty the tank as fuel for your next breakthroughIf you want to run your best ultra, finish with no regrets, and prove to yourself that you can keep pushing when it gets hard, this episode will show you how to drain the tank the right way.SHOW LINKS:Register for our 100K or 50K race, Desert Peak Ultra, by going to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠desertpeakultra.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Book a free call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with one of our coaches to see if we are a good fit!Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

This week on Relay, the crew kicks things off with a Goodr sunglasses fashion show before diving into an energetic conversation that bounces between track, trail, and the FIFA Club World Cup. Peter, Lindsey and Erika recap standout performances from the Prefontaine Classic, including Nikki Hiltz's stunning win over Faith Kipyegon and the buzz surrounding teenage sprint sensation Tate Taylor. They also discuss Des Linden signing up for her first 100-mile race, Tommie Runz's latest trail adventures, and what made Jen Lichter's Western States fueling strategy so memorable.The conversation shifts to Erika's return from injury, where she shares how her run/walk progression is going, what she's learned about coming back from a sacral injury, and why easing back into training can actually be fun. Lindsey compares notes on her own return to running before the group wraps up with a passionate World Cup discussion.Goodr makes fun, affordable performance sunglasses that are built for runners, with a no-slip, no-bounce fit and polarized lenses that keep up with every adventure.

Tom Evans is one of the best ultrarunners in the world, having won both UTMB and Western States. Now, the British runner has his sights set on the Hardrock 100, one of the most technical of the major ultradistance races that starts at 9,300 feet above sea level and covers 33,000 feet of climbing in the rugged San Juan Mountains. Tom talks to Payson about the challenge of preparing for such a remote race at altitude, the team he's assembled, and why he prioritises enjoyment over numbers in the weeks leading up to racing. He also discusses his unlikely route to ultradistance running after a career in the military, and how Red Bull signed him right before his first major result. Plus, we get some insight into his mindset from cognitive specialist Dr David Spindler, who has been working on the ground with Tom in Silverton for the past few weeks. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

Every year, the Western States 100 captures the attention of the ultrarunning world. It's a race filled with incredible performances, heartbreaking setbacks, unforgettable comebacks, and stories of grit that go far beyond who crosses the finish line first.But you don't have to run 100 miles (or even want to!) to learn from it.In this episode, Kevin shares some of the biggest stories from this year's race, including course records, first-time champions, and legendary runners who didn't finish. Together, we explore what these moments reveal about running, resilience, and ourselves. Whether you're training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, or simply trying to stay consistent, the lessons are surprisingly universal.At the end of the day, racing isn't just about the clock. It's about choosing curiosity over certainty, courage over perfection, and discovering who you become when things don't go according to plan. This episode is an invitation to redefine success, embrace the unpredictable nature of running, and remember why you started in the first place.02:01 What Is Western States04:06 Weather and Course Challenges05:24 Course Records Shock08:48 DNFs and Big Lessons11:54 Jim Walmsley DNF17:24 Kilian Jornet Curiosity22:11 Hans Troyer Icarus26:37 Debrief and Hernia Story27:49 Racing With Hernia30:02 Curiosity Over Certainty30:54 Winner Comeback Story32:31 Adam Peterman Rebuild36:44 Molly Seidel Grit39:38 Why Finish Matters43:42 Long Haul Lessons45:44 Bronco Billy Redefines50:28 John Kelly PerspectiveGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

In near-perfect conditions following a week of brutal French heat, Sunday's Paris Diamond League produced three Diamond League records.In this episode:– Audrey Werro came to Paris explicitly targeting the women's 800m world record and ran a personal best of 1:53.80 — a Diamond League record, meet record, world lead, and Swiss national record. She's now the only woman ever with multiple sub-1:54 performances (three of them, all this season). The world record is 1:53.28, set by Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983. Werro is 0.52 back.– Femke Broeders-Bol's 800m transition is real. The reigning 400m hurdles world champion ran 1:55.60 in the 800m — a massive personal best — finishing second behind Werro's Diamond League record. Her move to the 800m is no longer an experiment.– Cam Myers ran 3:28.00 in the Paris Diamond League 1500m — a personal best by over a second, the 27th fastest time in history, and faster than Jakob Ingebrigtsen at the same age (Jakob ran 3:28.68 at 20). Myers beat a field that included 3:27 man Azeddine Habz and 2025 World Championship medalists Jake Wightman and Reynold Cheruiyot– What it all means for the Bowerman Mile at the Prefontaine Classic– Grant Fisher won the Paris Diamond League 5000m in 12:54.80, edging Jacob Krop (12:55.22) and Andreas Almgren (12:55.38) in a stacked field where ten athletes broke 13:00. The win also marked the fifth Diamond League victory by an American men's mid-distance runner in 2026 — the most ever in a single year, with seven meets still remaining.– Marco Arop dominates the men's 800m. He confirmed after the race that he intends to go for the record this year: “Clearly I'm in shape for it”– Trayvon Bromell beats Noah Lyles and there's Twitter comments afterward by the Olympic champion– Jamal Britt runs 12.89 PB in Paris — his 10th win of 2026, his 12th meet since April– Collen Kebinatshipi runs 43.54 Diamond League record in Paris. + More highlights and shout-outs from around the running world including Western States.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠⁠ + Preet Majithia | ⁠⁠⁠@preet_athletics⁠⁠⁠ + Mac Fleet | @macfleetProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBANDIT: For 2026, Bandit is providing support for any Unsponsored athletes competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships.

The 2026 Western States 100 was astonishingly fast and uplifting! It was also astonishingly dramatic. This episode breaks it all down when it's fresh in our minds.We talked the new course records and what it means to go for it in the modern era (and what it means to go for it in life). Other topics include the “death before DNF” mentality, brand battles, racing trends, and carbs in ultras. We brought some passion to this one, and we apologize if any conclusion went overboard (you can probably tell that David had some excessively hot takes).Plus there were lots of other cool topics! Other topics: Megan's new piercing, a high-carb study showing dose-response with carbs and fatigue resistance, news from a pit toilet mishap, a proposal using cycling power profiles for detecting cheaters, the minimum volume to maintain adaptations, and a question on health anxiety.We use that anxiety question to zoom out and talk about a lot of big-picture topics. Western States always makes us existential, apparently. Remember the big message: VROOM VROOM. It will make slightly more sense soon.We love you all!

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. If you’re enjoying the podcast, I’d love for you to leave a rating and review. It helps more people discover the show. Thanks for being here, and enjoy my conversation with Canyon Woodward.
