In this new format, First & Last, we talked with two amazing women: Western States 100 first-place woman and female course record holder, Courtney Dauwalter, and the very last finisher, Jennifer St. Amand, who finished with just 21 seconds to spare. This new feature gives listeners insight into how WS100 unfolded for both runners who had two of the most compelling finishes at this year's event.  Dauwalter lives in Leadville, Colorado, and is a retired school teacher turned professional ultrarunner. Her running resume is nothing short of staggering with first-place finishes from around the US and abroad, including UTMB, Hardrock, Tahoe 200, Tarawera, Moab 240 and others. This interview was recorded just days before her record-setting performance and win at the Hardrock 100.  St. Amand is from Dexter, Minnesota, a former social worker and now recruiter for the Minnesota Army National Guard. Jen has ten 100-mile-races under her belt, including seven sub-24 hour finishes with two of those under 19 hours at the Tunnel Hill 100 in Illinois.

Que Courtney Dauwalter es la mejor corredora de ultras ahora mismo es algo que no admite debate. Su victoria en Transgrancanaria ha sido una más que añadir a una larga lista entre las que encontramos también primeros puestos en UTMB, Hardrock 100, Western States 100 o el Grand Raid Réunion. Pero si echamos la vista atrás inevitablemente aparecen los nombres de Ann Trason con sus 14 triunfos en WS100, Lizzy Hawker y sus 4 UTMB o incluso una Anna Frost que marcó una época y que también tiene en sus vitrinas dos Hardrock 100. ¿Está Courtney a su altura? Kilian Jornet y Biel Rafols opinan sobre ello en Sweet Home Alabama.

Chelsey's introduction to trail running began when she jumped in with both feet onto a Canadian Death Race relay team.  From there, as she puts it, she fell into the wrong crowd (LOL) and decided to take on CDR solo in 2015, earning her first Western States 100 ticket.  She was determined to earn her ticket to WS100 by completing races like Lost Soul, Hurt 100, Run Rabbit Run, and Javelina 100.   Chelsey also competed for Team Canada in Laz's Big Dog's Backyard Ultra in 2020, completing 40 loops on a 7K looped course.  Here is our chat with Chelsey...   You can follow Chelsey on Instagram here : chasingwinston   Check out GottaRunRacing website here: gottarunracing.com Check out our YouTube Channel at GottaRunRacing Check out GRR Facebook here: GRRFacebook Check out GRR Instagram here: GRRInstagram Check out GRR Twitter here: GRRTwitter Check out GRR Pinterest here: GRRPinterest Support us on Patreon here : GRRPatreon

Welcome to GRR Podcast Season 2 We start off Season 2 with our Canadian Trail to Western States Series with Leo Fung. Leo Fung started his Western States 100 journey without even knowing it.   He entered The Canadian Death race back in 2014 when his company signed him up to just do a leg.  Then when his co-workers backed out he decided to take on The Death Race solo, earning him his first ticket to WS100.  From there he took on other big ticket races like UTMB, Fat Dog, Javelina just to name a few.   After 7 years of tickets, plus the pandemic lockdown, his name was finally pulled from the lottery in 2021.

Paul Bonnett is no stranger to Western States 100.  He has raced it 6 times and helped pace his sister Karen to the finish line in 2017 which happened to be her epic DFL finish with only 9 secs left on the clock.  When Paul toed the line at the 2021 WS100 he had no idea what would be in store for him and certainly didn't expect to relive what his sister Karen went through 5 years earlier. But as history repeats itself, Paul realized that he was in the fight of his running career.   Here is his Western States 2021 epic finish in his own words.   You  can follow Paul on Instagram here : ultrazbonnett   Check out GottaRunRacing website here: gottarunracing.com Check out GRR Facebook here: GRRFacebook Check out GRR Instagram here: GRRInstagram Check out GRR Twitter here: GRRTwitter You can also check out our Vodcasts on our Youtube Channel at Gottarunracing

Summer is heating up (or as Phil would say, “hotting up”) and we're here to cool you down with a fire hose blast of ultrarunning news, including recaps from Western States and Manitou's Revenge. We tackle all the big storylines coming out of Auburn, including our biggest surprises, guttiest performances, and how we did with our pre-race picks. We also pour one out for the 24-hour world championships, mispronounce a bunch of French names, and engage in some quickly dated (and wrong) speculation about Taggert's next race.Beers for this episode: Other Half DDH Small Citra Everything, Zero Gravity Green State LagerIntro music: "Fine Line" by the BloodlettersOutro music: "When I Was Still Young" by Yard Sale

Just over a week out from Western States, it was a real honor to have returning top-10 runners on both the mens' and womens' side in the Pain Cave to talk about the Big Dance. Clare Gallagher is the defending champion at the nation's premier ultramarathon, and Kyle Pietari has four times placed in the top 10. The two Colorado residents joined us to talk about their recent trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota, where they helped to crew and pace Alex Falconer to complete the first ever crossing of the preserve on foot. We spoke about their efforts to protect this wilderness and to bring awareness to the negative environmental impacts of proposed mining operations in the area. Then, we talked about this year's fantastic fields at Western States and how these two legends of the sport will approach the race.

Ailsa Macdonald is no stranger to endurance sports.  She began competing in Triathlons in her early 20s and went on to win the Canadian National Ironman in 2018 and Ironman Santa Rosa 2019.   Before that, she tried her hand at ultra running and in 2017 she won both the Canadian National 50k race and was the first winner overall at the Canadian National 100 miler at Sinister 7.   Her road to Western States started when she won the Black Canyon 100k beating Courtney Dauwalter to earn her a Golden Ticket in 2018.   Things didn't go to plan at WS100 2018 so she earned her second Golden Ticket with a win at Bandera 100k in 2020 and winning Tarewara 2020.    Now she waits to cash in that Golden Ticket for WS100 2022.   Here is her story..       You can Follow Ailsa on Instagram here : ailsamacdonaldrunner Check out GottaRunRacing website here: gottarunracing.com Check out GRR Facebook here: GRRFacebook Check out GRR Instagram here: GRRInstagram Check out GRR Twitter here: GRRTwitter You can also check out our Vodcasts on our Youtube Channel at Gottarunracing

Sarah Seads from British Columbia began her running journey as an adventure racer. While she enjoyed multi discipline sports, she found herself excelling as a solo runner.   Not shy of long distances, the first ultra she completed was the Canadian Death Race, 125km in Grande Cache, Alberta.   After the Death Race, Sarah set her sights on Western States 100.  Her ticket race was The Lost Soul Ultra where she either won or placed the 3 times she completed them.     Sarah became one of the Lucky Canadians when her name was called for the 2020 WS100.  Now she waits until she can finally compete.     Here is her story..   You can Follow Sarah on Instagram here : wildseads Check out Sarah's Coaching Website here : ELMHealth Check out Sarah's Website here : wildseads Check out GottaRunRacing website here: gottarunracing.com Check out GRR Facebook here: GRRFacebook Check out GRR Instagram here: GRRInstagram Check out GRR Twitter here: GRRTwitter You can also check out our Vodcasts on our Youtube Channel at Gottarunracing

The PodiumRunner Endurance Podcast is hosted by Ian Sharman, a professional ultra runner and coach with over 200 marathons or ultra finishes and more than 50 wins (www.sharmanultra.com, @sharmanian). We discuss training and racing topics with leading sports scientists and how to practically apply research findings for marathoners and ultra runners. Episode 13: Group Training Advantages with Yassine Diboun In this episode we're talking to my good friend, Yassine Diboun. He's a father, husband, co-owner of Wy'east Wolfpack @wyeastwolfpack, coach, Columbia Sportswear athlete, living in Portland, Oregon. He started in triathlon in 2005, and then moved towards longer road runs like marathons. He completed and won, with a course record, his very first ultra marathon in 2007, and hasn't looked back since. He's also a 4 x WS100 finisher, 3x HURT 100 finisher, 1x UTMB finisher and has represented Team USA at the World Trail Championships in 2015. His Wy'east Wolfpack group does personal coaching, group training via fitness classes, and running clinics. He also leads group track workouts for RUN TRG and group trail runs. Another program he created is trail running camps for young people, including minorities, instilling movement and running from an early age. The Wy'east Wolfpack website also has a wide variety of BLM-related links with organizations and people to follow, articles and books to read, and podcasts to listen to. This show is about group training, community and how it helps us become better runners and live fulfilling lives. We discuss: Yassine's work as a coach with the various groups mentioned above; the benefits of different types of group training scenarios for improved fitness, plus for the mental health gains and what we can learn from other runners; how to do epic adventure runs with friends and why they're a great idea; his experience as a BIPOC runner and how sport brings people together, plus what we call all do to help on a daily basis.

Jesse's journey into endurance sports began with obstacle racing, all the way to the world championship. He entered his first 100 miler The Sinister 7 in 2016 with a friend and never looked back.

The Pain Cave journeys west to the venerable Western States 100, where I was pacing our very first podcast guest, Brian Oestrike. Since I was in town, I was able to finagle a sit-down with the great Eric Schranz of Ultrarunnerpodcast.com. As we recorded the day before the big show, Eric and I spent a few minutes discussing how we thought the day might play out (1:45), before we addressed some of the issues at the forefront of our sport, including the East Coast/West Coast divide (6:45), PEDs and TUEs (10:45), the primacy of WS100 and controversies it engenders (23:00), and the sustainability of growth in the sport (30:40).LinksUltrarunnerpodcast.comEric's recent interview with Jenny JurekThe aforementioned/oft-discussed profile of Coree WolteringImproving youth participationDesert Island Picks: Athletic Brewing Company, Deeper Understanding by War on Drugs, Joshua Tree by U2,Intro music: "Fine Line" by the BloodlettersOutro music: "When I Was Still Young" by Yard Sale
