Podcasts about Western States Endurance Run

We can't seem to get enough of John Kelly's FKT attempt on the Appalachian Trail, and we shared a few final thoughts about it before he finishes in the next couple of weeks. We also discussed Faith Kipyegon's upcoming attempt to break 4:00 for the mile, and we offered our predictions for the Western States Endurance Run this weekend. Of course, with the Peachtree Road Race coming up in Atlanta, we talked a bit about that, too.

“The heat out there is just a different beast.” Ted Knudsen is the owner of the San Francisco Running Company and passionate trail runner since 1995. Ted has completed the Western States Endurance Run four times and is involved with the WSER lottery and runner tracking for the race.

Kilian JORNET está preparando la Western States Endurance Run, una carrera muy "corredera" y habitualmente muy calurosa. Es corredera porque apenas tiene 30m+ por cada km longitudinal: un total de 5200m+ para 160K. De hecho, el récord masculino de 14h09 supone correr a un ritmo promedio de 5'00/km. En cuanto al calor, cabe decir que la Western es "el laboratorio de pruebas" de las estrategias de adaptación al/ mitigación del calor de las carreras de montaña. Muchas cosas que se vienen viendo en ciclismo desde hace tiempo se empiezan a aplicar a carreras de montaña en la Western. Y, curiosamente, ni los perfiles correderos ni los ambientes calurosos se le dan bien a Kilian. De ahí que esté teniendo que implementar un régimen de entrenamiento muy específico y que requiere mucha disciplina. Ésas son las dos características del entrenamiento de Kilian que analizamos aquí y las dos lecciones que sacar del mismo y que, quizás, trasladar a nuestro entrenamiento. --- Si quieres apoyar este podcast, sígueme en https://www.instagram.com/correrporsenderos/ Puedes mandarme un MD por ahí y plantear dudas o sugerencias.

This week, we were joined by up-and-coming ultrarunner Hans Troyer. Hans recently earned a vaunted Golden Ticket by finishing second at the Canyons 100K, thereby giving him entry into this month's Western States Endurance Run. Hans is a native of Georgia--like us!--and we got to talk to him about the highs and lows that he has experienced in his short but eventful ultrarunning career to this point.

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.

On this week's episode, we chat with Alex Staten and Stefanie Flippin. Alex is a trail and ultra runner from Fayetteville, Arkansas, a Diné and Mexican woman, and this year's Gu Energy Labs and Rising Hearts athlete in the Western States Endurance Run. If you followed along with Golden Hour at Western States, you followed Alex's journey from Olympic Valley to Placer High, where she missed the cut off on the track by 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Her day was one of rising above countless challenges and willing her body to the finish line, for reasons far beyond herself. Stef Flippin is a professional trail and ultra runner for Gu Energy labs and lululemon, physician, coach, and podcast host. She had the privilege of being a coach and holistic mentor for GU's and Rising Hearts' diversity runners at this year's edition of Western States. Stef and Alex formed a lasting bond over the last year as a result of Alex's journey to Western States. We hear about Alex's history in ultrarunning, Alex and Stef's coaching relationship, her WSER build, her involvement with Trail Sisters in Arkansas, the partnership between Rising Hearts and Gu Energy Labs, and ultimately, how Alex's day at Western States played out. A special thanks to Osprey for their support.

They talk about the lottery system for entry, Mikala's training and preparation, and the logistics of the race. Mikala shares her strategy for drop bags and the items she included in them. They also discuss the supportive and inclusive atmosphere of the race and the camaraderie among runners. The vibe at the starting line of the Western States 100 mile trail race was emotional and filled with dedicated supporters. The race began with a challenging climb, and one runner even walked into a chairlift by accident. The river crossing was a highlight, with volunteers helping runners navigate the water. The race took place in hot weather, and some runners struggled with the heat. Despite the challenges, Mikala's why for running ultras is simply because she loves it. She enjoys the reward of running in the woods with like-minded people. In this part of the conversation, Mikala discusses her experience running the Western States 100-mile race and the challenges she faced. She talks about using headphones during the race and the songs she listened to, including 'It's Raining Tacos.' Mikala also shares her thoughts on the finish line and the post-race meal she had. The conversation then transitions to Erica's experience running the Washington Yeti 100-mile race, where she describes the beautiful scenery and the differences compared to her previous race in Virginia. They also discuss mental preparation and the importance of being relaxed before a race. In this final part of the conversation, Erika shares her overall experience of the race and the lessons she learned. She talks about how she prepared better for this race, including taping up her feet to prevent blisters and improving her fueling habits. She also discusses the lack of tracking in this race and the challenges she faced during the night lap. Erika mentions her upcoming race, the Notch, and her goals for it.

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.

oin us as Hardtalk Hosts Chris and Dan bring on the run directors of two of the most iconic races in the United States, Craig Thornley and Dale Garland. Craig is the run director for the iconic Western States Endurance Run  and Dale is the run director of the one and only Hardrock 100 Endurance Run. We sit down with Craig and Dale to discuss the intricacies of conducting the lotteries, the influence both of these events have on the sport, the future of diversity and inclusion in the sport as well as the elite field of their respective runs. 

"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.
