We dive straight into the ultimate ultra-marathon recap, tracking Tommie's journey from his pre-race preparation to the emotional final miles on the track at Auburn. Tommie opens up about the lowest moments of the race, what truly kept him from quitting, and the massive impact of his support crew and aid stations along the way.Beyond the race itself, we have a powerful conversation about releasing expectations, the importance of seeing Black skin on the trail, and the growing impact of climate change on the running industry. Plus, we talk about the FOMO of missing out on fun races while in a heavy training block, and Run Culture Court is officially in session: Are "copycat" run clubs ruining the community?

Lotti Brinks ist in Deutschland für viele noch ein relativ unbekannter Name. In ihrer Wahlheimat USA ist das ganz anders: Dort wurde sie beim diesjährigen Western States 100 zum Favoritinnenkreis gezählt — und das völlig zurecht. Lotti Brinks kam mit einer starken Zeit von 16:04 ins Ziel. Das ist die siebtschnellste Zeit einer Frau aller Zeiten und die beste Platzierung einer/eines Deutschen Overall. Vier Frauen waren bei den diesjährigen idealen Bedingungen noch schneller als Lotti; am Ende erreichte sie Platz 5. Wir sprechen mit der Hoka‑Athletin über ihre Vorbereitung, ihr Rennen und ihre selbstbewusste Art — warum sie kein Problem damit hat zu sagen, dass sie jedes Rennen, das sie läuft, gewinnen will, zum Beispiel auch den umkämpften CCC in Chamonix, bei dem sie letztes Jahr bereits 6. wurde. Wir finden: Wenn Lotti so weitermacht, ist ihr alles zuzutrauen. Viel Spaß mit der Folge! Du möchtest mehr über Lottis Werdegang erfahren?

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!

Today, we are speaking with retired LT Shane McKeon as he is about to embark on his journey to complete the Western States 100. Shane is a seasoned endurance athlete and dedicated student of leadership and performance. He joined the ranks of the FDNY in the aftermath of September 11th and spent many years serving as a firefighter in Engine Company 84 and Ladder Company 34 in Washington Heights before being promoted to Lieutenant. Throughout his career, Shane served as a lead fitness instructor at the FDNY Probationary Firefighter School, a program manager for the FDNY's A Day in the Life of a Firefighter program in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and as a member of the FDNY's First Line Supervisor Training Program. Before joining the FDNY, Shane played Division I baseball and spent two seasons in professional baseball. Since becoming a member of the department, he has completed 25 marathons, numerous ultra-distance open-water swims, and two Ironman triathlons. As we record this Shane will be competing in the Western States 100, the world's oldest and most prestigious 100-mile endurance race.

WESTERN STATES 100, MARATHON DU MONTBLANC, GTPE, GARMIN EPIC TRAIL Y TRAIL BRONCHALES. Gran fin de semana el vivido en las carreras de montaña por medio mundo: Desde California hasta los Alpes, pasando por Picos de Europa, el Pirineo catalán y la Sierra de Albarracín, el trail nos ha dejado actuaciones memorables, récords, abandonos inesperados y carreras donde volvió a demostrarse que la montaña siempre termina poniendo a cada uno en su sitio. Ha sido uno de esos fines de semana capaces de resumir toda la riqueza de nuestro deporte, con pruebas radicalmente distintas pero unidas por la misma pasión por correr entre montañas. La gran referencia internacional volvió a ser la Western States 100, donde el calor extremo endureció todavía más una carrera ya legendaria. La retirada de Kilian Jornet antes del ecuador de la prueba fue una de las grandes noticias del fin de semana, dejando vía libre para una edición marcada por el dominio de los especialistas estadounidenses y por una batalla de enorme desgaste hasta Auburn. Mientras tanto, en Chamonix, el Marathon du Mont-Blanc volvió a confirmar su condición de gran clásico europeo con la tercera victoria de Rémi Bonnet y una exhibición histórica de Tove Alexandersson, que pulverizó el récord femenino para acabar además undécima absoluta frente a centenares de corredores masculinos. En España también hubo mucho donde elegir. El Gran Trail Picos de Europa reunió otra vez algunos de los paisajes más espectaculares de nuestra cordillera cantábrica con carreras muy disputadas y un ambiente extraordinario en torno a Benia de Onís. Al mismo tiempo, la Garmin Epic Trail volvió a convertir el Valle de Boí en escaparate del mejor trail pirenaico, con una maratón de enorme nivel donde Raúl Ortiz y Anna Comet firmaron dos victorias de muchísimo mérito sobre un recorrido tan bello como exigente. Dos carreras muy diferentes entre sí, pero ambas reflejo del magnífico momento que vive el calendario español. Y para completar el menú llegó también el Trail Bronchales, una cita que año tras año demuestra que no hace falta superar los dos mil metros de altitud para diseñar un recorrido espectacular. Los pinares de la Sierra de Albarracín ofrecieron nuevamente un terreno rapidísimo, muy corredor y técnicamente entretenido, con una organización que continúa creciendo edición tras edición hasta sumar 1903 finalistas este 2026. En conjunto, cinco carreras, cinco escenarios completamente distintos y un mismo mensaje: el trail running vive un momento extraordinario tanto dentro como fuera de España, con un calendario cada vez más internacional, más competitivo y también más diverso para todos los perfiles de corredores.

Zach Miller is one of the greatest, most entertaining, and most thoughtful runners of his generation. It's a treat to have him in the studio ahead of Western States, a race he has patiently waited to run for over a decade.Miller is coming off a memorable 2nd place golden ticket performance at the Canyons 100K, a race where he reunited with Hayden Hawks for yet another classic duel in their storied rivalry, which dates back to the 2016 TNF 50 in San Francisco.We also catch up with Zach on other topics, including his regular IRunFar column, his trusty North Face hat, and his reflections on this stage of his career as a professional ultra-trail runner.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 Support the show
One of the most exciting and versatile athletes in our sport, Tara Dower joins us in the studio to reflect on this year's mission to race the vaunted Western States-Hardrock double. There's a bit of a “revenge” narrative at play here as illness forced her to DNF at last year's Western States and she was the very first person on the wait list at last year's Hardrock, even suiting up for the start line the morning of the race in hopes that magic would happen. Ultimately, the stars didn't align. But now it's here. We talk a lot about her process approaching the double, but also ask her about other interests in the sport, life in Durango, performance mantras, and her ability to dig remarkably deep in so many of these races.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 Support the show
Jennifer Lichter is the newest star in ultra-trail running. She's been winning important races since her breakout at The Rut 50K in 2021, but it was only about 18 months ago that the wider world caught on and she became a household name. Since the start of 2025 she's beaten top fields to win the Transgrancanaria Marathon, Broken Arrow 46K, Speedgoat 50K, Black Canyon 100K, and Gorge Waterfalls 50K. Western States is her first time toeing the line for 100 miles, yet many already make her a favorite to win. Can she pull it off? In this conversation we trace her path here, dig into what the buildup actually looked like, and talk through her strategy for handling the spotlight at the North American Super Bowl of ultrarunning. Hope you enjoy.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 Support the show

It's the best time of the year, and we brought that energy into this great episode! We started by bringing out our big predictions and hot takes for the Western States 100. The hottest take: everything about our understanding of endurance physiology is going to change on Saturday. We tell you why.We also talked about a new study asking a fascinating question: does the intensity of easy training matter for adaptations? The answer: not really, if overall stress is equalized. Our main conclusion is that no pace is too slow for aerobic development. And this one was full of awesome topics! Other topics: switching heart rate monitors with a training partner, our complex thoughts on AI coaching, AI body scans, new data on trail supershoes crowning a possible champion, the perils of optimization based on studies, a cool study on human-wildlife conflict, competitiveness v. ego, burping in races, and a beautiful Listener Corner message. Whenever you're having a bad day, remember: there might be a thicc zebra waiting for you on the carousel of life.We love you all!

Simply put, Lotti Brinks is one of the best ultrarunners in the sport right now.Over the last 2 years, she's secured multiple top 10s at CCC, wins at Way Too Cool and Desert Rats, and a course record at the Gorge Waterfalls 100K this past spring that heralded her arrival into the upper echelon of the sport.This is her second time at Western States. She was here in 2024, placing 14th in 18:53. But many expect her to be a podium contender in 2026.Since this is our first ever interview with Lotti on Singletrack, we use the opportunity to learn more about her: her background, what motivates her pursuit of excellence in the ultra world, being coached by the great Tyler Green, and her race-day goals.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 Support the show
Kilian Jornet is the greatest trail and mountain runner of all time. He joins the show coming off a 3rd place finish at last year's event, certainly questing for a victory in this year's edition. He is the 2011 champion of Western States and debuted here in 2010 - the famous “Unbreakable” edition where he dueled with Geoff Roes and Anton Krupicka all day before landing on the podium in 3rd. Suffice it to say, Kilian has a storied history at this race. It's not that often we get the privilege to speak with Kilian, so we also used this opportunity to have a broader conversation getting his insights on various state of sport topics. Hope you enjoy.

These are the times! Hans Troyer joins us in the studio for his first-ever (longer form) appearance on the Singletrack Podcast. Hans has had an exciting recent build to Western States, including a win at the Twisted Fork 30K and a training camp in Flagstaff with the Hoka team. Beyond that, on the biggest stages of the sport, he is on a roll demonstrating his greatness with a course record victory at the Black Canyon 100K back in February and an impressive win at JFK late last year. Hans took 8th place at his debut here last June, but expectations are higher for his return. Many consider him one of the favorites for the win here and part of the cohort of superstars that could break the fabled 14-hour barrier on the course.

Training camps can be one of the most valuable tools in ultramarathon training — especially when you know how to use them the right way.In this episode, I recap my 3-day, 71-mile Western States 100 training camp and break down the biggest lessons I learned from running the course less than a month out from race day.I cover why training camps are so useful, how to structure one for your own race, what I learned about the Western States course, how I'm adjusting my race strategy, and the key takeaways around pacing, heat management, downhill durability, hydration, nutrition, and mental approach.This episode is not just a Western States recap. It's a guide for how to use any training camp as a dress rehearsal so you can show up to your next ultra more prepared, more confident, and more ready to execute.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?
