Podcasts about western states 100

Western States 100 ended in a DNF at mile 62. It's partially the normal story of a race that didn't go to plan due to simple errors with hydration leading to a cascade of physical issues. But it's also a lot more complex than that, like life is always more complex than the simple narratives. This episode tries to share the complex story while it's still raw.We talk about anxiety, fear, shame, and embarrassment. We also talk about love, perseverance, and moving through the crap. It's just running. But it's also so much more.Thank you for being here for all of it! We experienced so much love in a tough week.We also talked about the magic of the race, breakthrough performances by Abby Hall and Caleb Olson, and even getting to share miles with Kilian Jornet!Your story matters. Your goals matter. You don't need to be a champion.You just need to be you.-David and MeganClick "Claim Reward" for free credit at The Feed here: thefeed.com/swap Buy Janji's amazing gear: https://janji.com/ (code "SWAP")For weekly bonus podcasts, articles, and videos: patreon.com/swap

We're here! It's race week for the Western States 100. This episode talks through how we're feeling before the moonshot. Hopefully there are helpful similarities to all of the big, scary things in your lives!We also break down a new study that feels like the Manhattan Project of sports science, testing "replicability" in the field. You know it's serious when there are 99 authors! It found low replicability rates, particularly related to effect size, with massive implications for how we think about interpreting research.Finally, we answer a question about building belief in life. Thank you so much for being here along the journey! A year ago, this would have seemed unthinkable. But with the love and support of so many people lifting us up, here's what we've learned in that time:All big scary goals are unthinkable before they happen.Training is the test, and racing is the celebration. Time to celebrate! “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.” -Mary Oliver (Ollie's namesake)BELIEVE.WILDLY.PRECIOUSLY.-David and MeganFollow Huzzah for scholarship details and more! https://www.instagram.com/thehuzzahhub/Click "Claim Reward" for free credit at The Feed here: thefeed.com/swap Check out the least expensive carb mix on the market from TheFeedLab: https://thefeed.com/products/the-feed-lab-high-carb-drink-mixBuy Janji's amazing gear: https://janji.com/ (code "SWAP")For weekly bonus podcasts, articles, and videos: patreon.com/swap

Our favorite episodes involve answering listener questions in a "no secrets" style. That means we might be right, we might be wrong, but we'll always be honest (and hairy!).We started with a game theory analysis on how we think this year's Western States 100 will play out. This is the type of conversation that athletes have before every race, but they usually wouldn't play it out in public. We can check our work in 2 weeks!And then we broke down tons of great questions! Topics: what drives us, messages from our younger selves, The Feed's new high carb mix that is resetting the cost curves, responders and non-responders to passive heat, going for it at the back of the pack, diagnosing and improving offsets between climbing and flats, adding passive heat v. adding more training, whether you need heat training in the summer, a couple hypotheticals on road and track athletes coming to trails, a spicy hypothetical on Kilian Jornet, adding weight vest training, balancing competition with self-acceptance, sub-ultra v. ultra for making the sport more accessible, getting into coaching, and the popularity of Park Run in the UK v. the US.May your legs be carbed-up and may your hairs not be given names on a podcast.

In this annual episode, we talk about the 2025 Western States 100 with AJW and Katie Asmuth. We talk about the race's rich history, the evolving competition in both the men's and women's fields, and how course knowledge and pacing strategies can make or break a runner's day.

Katie shares her personal connection to the race, emphasizing the powerful sense of community that defines the ultra running world. The group makes predictions, celebrates aging athletes, and honors the camaraderie and stories that make Western States more than just a race.

In this episode of Run the Riot, we catch up with an incredible ultrarunner and returning guest — Amanda Lynch! It's been a few years since Amanda last joined us, and she's been busy stacking up strong finishes and incredible experiences. From winning first female at the Loup Garou 100 to tackling technical trails at Lovit 100, Amanda has stayed consistent, positive, and resilient. We dive deep into her racing adventures — from the rocky, rolling terrain of Southern States 200 to her methodical preparation for the upcoming Western States 100. Amanda shares practical lessons about training smarter (with the help of hypoxic masks!), fueling smarter, and racing with grit and joy through every challenge. If you're passionate about trail running, ultra racing, and seeing what's possible with dedication and positivity, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. Topics Covered: Amanda's journey to finishing her first 200-mile race at Southern States 200 Nutrition strategies for ultra racing and long-distance trail running Training smart with hypoxic simulation for altitude performance Lessons learned from Loup Garou 100, Lovit 100, and Mohican 100 Managing physical challenges like swollen feet and nighttime navigation Mental strategies for pushing through deep fatigue in 200+ mile races Preparing for the legendary Western States 100 Click here for full episode notes and video!

The best moment of our lives happened last week. It's not the baby. It's a social media mention from the GOAT Kilian Jornet. And we brought that celebration energy to this awesome episode! The main study was on the types of training that leads to faster marathon times, looking at 150,000 datapoints. With findings that overlap with other studies, we can start to outline the most direct way to make running faster (and more fun). The remainder of the episode was in our classic "No Secrets" Q+A style! Topics: what makes David think that he can compete for the win at Western States, our initial review of the Wahoo Run Treadmill, whether high carb fueling is for everyone (hint: yes, mostly), whether VERY high carb approaches might be the next frontier (hint: we hope not), improving Zone 2, heart rate zones in cross training, incorporating cross training for the first time, structuring recovery intervals on strides, our thoughts on SWAP Media expansion, the beer 2-mile record, and a beautiful Listener Corner message. We're calling this the "You Brought It On Yourself" episode. Listen for a hilariously honest call-out near the end. We love you all! HUZZAH!

We celebrated a wild year with a "No Secrets" Q+A episode! This one is full of fascinating topics, mixing science, theory, and hot takes into the perfect holiday stew. The questions all came from podcast listeners on the following topics: how to think about gut training, Zone 2 heart rate and how terrible some online calculators are for athletes of all levels, our favorite speed workouts to gauge progress over time, incorporating cross training into long-term growth, specific guidelines for cross training like cadence and effort, adapting and performing at altitude, consistency during the holidays and why it's ok to take downtime, supershoes and ankle stability, how we think about running cadence and form, Kilian's tempo-after-intervals workout, and our current thinking on the 2025 Western States 100. It's such a gift to record this podcast each week. Thank you all for everything, and happy holidays! You are the most special goats to us.

In this episode AJW cracks a brew with veteran ultrarunner and writer Jeff Kozak.  In their wide ranging discussion they touch on the intersection of writing and running, some of Jeff's fondest 100 mile memories, and the wild and wooly Quarry Road Aid Station at Western States where Jeff has volunteered for the past several years.   Read Jeff's Ultrarunning Magazine column here.

We answered tons of amazing listener questions on this great episode! We approached Leadville and Javelina like science experiments, and like all good science experiments, we want to share everything before starting a new experiment for the Western States 100. This one is full of sexy science, theory, psychology, nutrition, and so much more! Our philosophy is "no secrets"... sometimes to a fault. That means spilling the beans on everything from training to nutrition to gear, plus some hot takes on where we think the sport is going. A list of some of the topics: Freetrail's Javelina race video and our obsessive Youtube history, the Wikipedia page journey, Kilian going for a golden ticket to Western States, whether athletes should wait to do longer ultras, what we have learned about recovery after the races, how we are framing sponsorship discussions, what makes ultras so cool, why David wears nose strips, the anti-chafe approach for Javelina, supershoes for slower runners, training "belief" in running, how our training theory is evolving, muscle fatigue later in races, framing performance through running economy, aerobic build weeks, cross training approaches, longer singles, key workouts, heart rate patterns in training and racing, race day execution, doubts and fears, bicarb and ketones, whether heat suit training will be something we do in the future, pushing the frontiers of hydration, alpha dogging, and big dreams at Western States. This one was such a joy to record. We can't wait to share the journey with you all ahead! Or to put it another way: "F what you heard. It's what you hearin." We love you all! HUZZAH!

We started just after 10pm, and wouldn't be seeing our crew for almost 6 hours. Tyler and I had to totally redo his nutrition plan on the fly, and figure out how to keep him moving to stay far enough ahead of the cutoff.

Text us your thoughts about this episode or ideas for future episodes!This episode was recorded live at Singletrack's Olympic Valley studios ahead of the 2024 Western States 100. We were joined by Scott Jurek who probably needs no introduction. Scott is someone I've wanted to talk with since the inception of this podcast and even though this was technically a pre-race interview, so much of what we talked about was only peripherally related to the event, so I wanted to save it for a stand-alone podcast a few weeks on. Specifically, we talk about his history in the sport, some of the mental and emotional aspects of being an elite athlete, how someone of his stature in the sport grapples with athletic mortality, and some of his favorite stories with fellow competitors over the years.*Note the audio jumps a bit at a few points in the conversation. I think this was due to the poor internet connection at our studio during the livestream. - FinnSponsors:Brooks - check out their new Cascadia 18 shoe and High Point apparel collection (https://www.brooksrunning.com/singletrack)Naak - use code SINGLETRACK20 at checkout on their website (https://www.naak.com/) to get 20% off your purchase.Rabbit - use code Singletrack20 at checkout on their website (https://www.runinrabbit.com/) to get 20% off your next order.deltaG Ketones - use code Singletrack20 at checkout on their website (https://www.deltagketones.com/SINGLETRACK20) to get 20% off your next order.   Additional Links:Follow Singletrack on Instagram, Strava, YoutubeSupport the Show.

We were flying high after the best sports week of all time for this amazing episode! The main topic was the 2024 Western States 100, the most insane race we have ever seen. It was not a cool year, but the times were wildly faster across the board, building on massive speed breakthroughs from 2023. What are we seeing? The same trends are present on the track and even in other endurance sports. We have theories! The biggest, most exciting question of all: where might this trend be going next? We aren't sure, but after seeing this year's Western States unfold... we think it's indicative of a fundamental shift across endurance sports, and we can't wait to see where things go from here. Storylines included Jim Walmsley and Katie Schide further establishing legacies as two of the best ever, Rod Farvard's breakthrough that might be the story of the race, the importance of pushing the pace earlier than previously thought, the cruelty of sports existing right alongside the uplifting stories, aging athletes resetting what's possible, and so much more! Plus, we brought tons of fun stories from the Olympic Track Trials, which we got to experience firsthand with the athletes. There are so many lessons to share. Most importantly, there were unlimited free snacks. We'll be eating like we stole a vending machine for weeks. This episode is full of so much love, joy, and inspiration! We hope that you feel it, absorb it, and go on to chase your own limits. How fast can you go? How many snacks can you grab? There's only one way to find out. We love you all! HUZZAH!

In today's podcast, I am sitting down with my friend and legendary ultra runner, Sally McRae. Sally most recently won the Moab 240 after completing the "Grand Slam of 200s." She's admired for her mental fortitude, hardcore training tactics, and ability to push through extreme discomfort. Whenever I have the opportunity to talk with Sally,  it is not only insightful but also uplifting. I'm sure you will feel the same after listening.
