Some composers picture colors or abstract shapes when they're working on a new piece. Derrick Skye thinks about space. His fascination with the cosmos is threaded throughout his compositions, including the latest in his series "Prisms, Cycles, Leaps." For our series on California composers. reporter Clare Wiley sat down with the Los Angeles-based Skye to hear how he brings his otherworldly ideas to life and how living in multicultural LA has influenced him.   Plus, we go to the oldest 100-mile ultramarathon in the world: The Western States Endurance Run. This grueling race starts near Lake Tahoe and winds along old mining trails in the Sierra, drops into the canyons of the American River, and finishes outside Sacramento. Thousands of people are on the waitlist to attempt it, but just a fraction make it to the starting line. The runners who do compete are overwhelmingly white, even though the race is trying to include more BIPOC athletes. KQED's Mark Nieto got to watch this year's race at the end of June and he followed one competitor who's inspiring other runners of color.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Women's ultrarunning is on fire right now with powerhouses like recent Barkley Marathons finisher Jasmin Paris, 40, and Lululemon FURTHER 6-day record smasher Camille Herron, 42, showing the world what midlife women can do. This week, we sat down with ultrarunning legend Pam Reed, who broke ground for women in the sport decades ago, winning races like Badwater 135 outright in 2002 and 2003, and talking about menopause at a time when athletes rarely uttered the word. Now 63, Pam is still blazing trails, most recently finishing the Hardrock 100, Badwater 135, and Western States Endurance Run–that's 337.5 miles total–in a span of 22 days. We talk all about how she gets it done, the hurdles she's faced, and what the future holds.Pam Reed has been a prolific ultrarunner since she entered the sport in 1992. She quickly excelled and won on the track, road, and trails. She is most well-known for her back-to-back Badwater 135 overall wins in 2002 and 2003. Over her career, she has at least 30 ultra wins, including 13 wins in races of 100 miles or more. In 2021, she became the 19th known person in the world to achieve 100 100-mile finishes with at least 45 podiums in those 100-milers. She has finished 65 full Ironmans, including 10 at Kona, Hawaii. In 2005, Pam authored the book, The Extra Mile: One Woman's Personal Journey to Ultra-Running Greatness. She was also the race director for the Tucson Marathon for 28 years.ResourcesFollow Pam at Tor des GéantsRegister for the Feisty Summer STRONG Course: https://www.womensperformance.com/strong Subscribe to the Feisty 40+ newsletter: https://feistymedia.ac-page.com/feisty-40-sign-up-page Follow Us on Instagram:Feisty Menopause: @feistymenopause Feisty Media: @feisty_media Selene: @fitchick3 Hit Play Not Pause Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/807943973376099 Join Level Up - Our Community for Active Women Navigating the Menopause Transition:Join: https://www.feistymenopause.com/monthly-membership-1 Leave your questions for Selene:https://www.speakpipe.com/hitplay Get the Free Feisty Women's Guide to Lifting Heavy Sh*t:https://www.feistymenopause.com/liftheavy Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code HITPLAY at https://www.previnex.com/ Lagoon Sleep: Go to LagoonSleep.com/hitplay and take the 2 minute sleep quiz to find your match, and then use the code HITPLAY for 15% off your first purchase

Putting them in the best position for success on race day and beyond.”   “We are continuously looking into new ways to enhance our athlete's journey and training experience, and we are excited to find a partner in TriDot who is a proven industry leader in training technology that benefits both coaches and athletes,” said Andrew Messick, President and CEO for The IRONMAN Group. “Through the tools and resources available, this partnership will help allow our athletes take the guess work out of race preparation so that they can have the successful and rewarding race day they deserve.”   TriDot also provides extensive ongoing support to its global coach community which includes IRONMAN legends like Mark Allen (6x IRONMAN World Champion), Michellie Jones (IRONMAN World Champion & Olympic Silver Medalist), and Mirinda “Rinny” Carfrae (3x IRONMAN World Champion).   "I'm so excited about this partnership. With TriDot, my athletes are consistently getting fitter and faster. I wouldn't coach without it," says Mirinda Carfrae. Mark Allen adds, "On the surface TriDot looks simple.  Underneath that hood is the best training you'll find in triathlon. Ever. Anywhere."   Strava introduces messaging   The problem with Strava messaging is not Strava messaging, it's an environment where women don't feel safe exercising alone or existing online   Coaching Tip: How (and Why) to Test?   This week was a "Test Week" in my training plan. Test weeks are built into the Maintaining and Development Phases of an effective training plan. Tests should be excluded during Race Specific Training where the focus moves to rehearsing and executing at the fitness levels attained during the Development Phase.   The phase cycle looks like 4 weeks of build followed by a Test week. The 4-week build progressively increases the stress load. The Test Week reduces the overall load of the training that week, but inserting each swim, bike and run tests into the week. This also makes the Test week a Recovery week.   Monday - regular swim workout Tuesday - FTP Test (FTP Study: 20-Minute Power / 5-Minute Power) Wednesday - 5K Run Test (10 minute warmup; 5K for time same course every time; 10-20 minute cooldown) Thursday - easy bike Friday - Swim CSS CSS or critical swim speed is the pace at which you swim a 1500 time trial. This is quite simple but an effective way to prepare for long races. Warmup, priming 200, 400 for time, 10 minute recovery, 200 for time CSS (m/sec) = 200 / (time taken for 400m – time taken for 200m)   Benefits of Testing Keeps your training zones current so you are training the correct energy zones Regular testing familiarizes you with the discomfort and pain of pushing high intensity Familiar with all your paces and the relative RPE Helps execute your race pacing See change over time (sometimes that's progress, sometimes not, good to know)   What if you don't know or don't do Training above your body's real zones can leave you overtrained, burned out or injured Training below your body's real zones can leave you under trained, underperformance, or injury on race day for exceeding your abilities Stagnate if adaptions start to happen but training zones are not updated to set up the next progression of development Won't really know where that limit is and how to press to your performance limit in races   Video: What happened to Heather Jackson? As one chapter closes, a new one opens. After 15 years as a professional triathlete, Heather Jackson decided to challenge herself in new ways, build a fresh community, and push her own and other's expectations of what is humanly possible.   In June, Heather tackled the Unbound Gravel 200, often hailed as the "Super Bowl" of gravel bike racing, and the iconic Western States Endurance Run, the world's oldest 100-mile trail race. Facing these demanding events with just a two-week gap between them, the question looms: how will Heather approach her most ambitious goal yet?   #Wahooligan #WahooFrontiers #HeatherJackson Wahoo Frontiers: Heather Jackson

This episode of the For The Long Run Podcast was recorded 1 week ahead of 2023 Western States Endurance Run with ultrarunner and Western States debutant, David Lam. More than a runner, David, fondly referred to as the “Mayor of San Francisco”, is heavily involved in the running community, and uses running for connection, representation, and support. Professionally, David works in the tech industry and calls San Francisco's Bay Area home.  In this episode we talk about:  -running community and connection -starting running as an adult in 2017 to 2023 Western States 100-miler -leaning on the running community and asking for help -running through grief and loss -representation and belonging in the running community, on the trails and at events Follow David on Instagram @davidtlam and For The Long Run @forthelrpod  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/forthelongrun/support  Past guests on For The Long Run include: 177.

"I want to make sure I can be doing this for many years to come and not overdo it. So I'm trying to be smart. It's less fun being smart." First, she won the Western States Endurance Run 100-mile race, and set a course record in the process. And then, just three weeks later, Courtney Dauwalter ran, won, and set a course record at the Hardrock 100. In this conversation, Courtney returns to the Ali on the Run Show to talk about her back-to-back wins, and about why — she swears — it's not about the clock, the wins, or the records.

Join Andy Jones-Wilkins & Chris Worden for a live preview of the 2023 Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run!

Leah Yingling is an ultrarunner based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Leah started racing ultras in 2015 and most recently was ranked #9 in the UltraRunning Magazine Ultrarunner of the Year rankings. In 2022, she finished 6th (and top American) at the Western States Endurance Run, 2nd at the Canyons 100k, and competed for Team USA at the Trail World Championships in the 80k. With that amazing resume it would be reasonable to assume that Leah has been steeped in elite running since she was a teenager. While reasonable, that assumption would be wildly incorrect. In fact, Leah still holds down an amazingly complex job at the intersection of healthcare and tech that requires her to run at night and fit her training around a hectic and shifting schedule. In this conversation Leah breaks down her start in running and how she has reached the top of the sport despite not devoting herself entirely too it. In addition, Leah also discusses being sexually assaulted on a trail run at age 19 and how she overcame that horrific experience. Two weeks ago Lululemon altered the face of women's running by announcing their Further initiative and ten new Global Ambassadors that include some of the best and most interesting women in the running community, including Leah. We breakdown everything about this partnership, how it came about, what it means for the running community, and Leah will work with them to increase the amount of females in trail ultramarathons.

When Yatika Starr Fields, an Indigenous runner, artist, and advocate, ran the Western States 100 in 2022, it wasn't only for himself; it was for the Native American community. For the first time, the Western States Endurance Run officially acknowledged the Washoe tribe, the original stewards of the land on which their race takes place, and they released their first official race poster, from one of Yatika's paintings. Yatika's experience at Western States is the subject of the new short film, Know To Run, produced by the Indigenous-led, grassroots organization Rising Hearts.

Pam Smith returns for part two to educate me and Nicole on how she went from finishing in the back of the field at the 2012 Western States Endurance Run to winning it in 2013.

This is part one of two episodes with Pam Smith. Pam put together what many consider one of the best build ups and race execution at the 2013 Western States Endurance Run. Nicole and I will be interviewing her in part two, specifically on this topic. For this episode, I dive into all sorts of ultramarathon topics with Pam Smith, including: her massive range within the sport, her fueling strategy, stories of overcoming mental and physical hurdles, managing career and family while training and racing, and how she manages heat.  LMNT: drinkLMNT.com/HPO Support HPO: zachbitter.com/hpo  HPO Patreon: patreon.com/HPOpodcast Zach's Coaching: zachbitter.com/coaching Pam: IG: @rundoctor74  Zach: zachbitter.com IG: @zachbitter Tw: @zbitter FB: @zbitterendurance Strava: Zach Bitter
