Phast Phred, Evil Becky, and AFB host Dick Vincent—the man who's been directing the Escarpment Trail Run in the Catskills for 48 years straight. That makes him the longest-serving trail race director in North America. Laddie Lawrence can have the road scene locked down with Westport's summer series, but when it comes to gnarly trails, Escarpment is Dick's kingdom. He's also a guy who kept a 34-year run streak, ran Boston back in '74, and even left seven toenails out on the course at Western States Endurance Run 100 WSER in '86 If you love trail running history, and great stories, this may be the episode for you. Each of Dick's stories could've been its own episode. A streak like that, a Western States war story, and the creation of an iconic race... That's pure Cultra magic.

Lucy was my guest on the podcast back in January, 2018 (episode 45). In that episode, Lucy shared her background; how she first started running as a way to spend time with her Dad, her first 100km race at 16 through to her victory in 2017 at the 100km Ultra Trail Australia race (also her 21st birthday).At the time of that episode, Lucy was still getting her head around the news she had secured an entry to the Western States Endurance Run (WSER); not only one of the world's most prestigious 100mi/160km races, but it would also be Lucy's first attempt at that distance.So Lucy returns to Sparta Chicks Radio in this episode recorded late in 2018 to share how the race, and 2018, unfolded for her — including why she labelled her blog post about the race ‘Show Up, Blow Up, Grow Up'.Here's a #spoileralert - Lucy finished 3rd at WSER that year; an extraordinary performance for someone so young, and racing that distance for the first time, against the best in the world.

In this electric post-race episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm sits down with co-host and freshly minted Western States Top Ten finisher Keely Henninger to relive the highs, lows, and hard-earned triumphs of this year's race. Keely reflects on her fourth go at WSER, this time arriving with a deeply personal approach, hard-won confidence, and zero obligations to perform for a brand—just herself. From a ferocious women's field to a historic showing by international athletes, Corrine and Keely break down everything that made this year's race unforgettable, including the dramatic chase to crack the top ten. They dive into Keely's evolving mindset, her take on the lead women going out hot, how it felt to go “on the hunt” post-Foresthill, and how finally nailing her fueling strategy played a pivotal role. The episode touches on gear freedom, team dynamics, and what it's like to finish with joy instead of just survival. With questions from listeners and big-picture reflections, this conversation is a celebration of grit, growth, and the power of running on your own terms.

The States Debates sparked a unique conversation about Western States.Brian reflects on his performance evaluating his strengths and weaknesses. He goes further to say that the current landscape of ultrarunners may not lionize WSER like the previous. This is an opportunity for WSER to progress and remain the premiuer American Ultra.Also, WSER toes the line on appealing to amateurs and elites. Eventually, it might have to choose one.---- Partners ----Wylder - Host and find Run Clubs, schedule public and private group runsNaked Sports Innovations - the worlds best hydration beltSalt Lake Footshills Trail Races.

Staying true to our commitment to record more episodes this year, we hop back on after the Lunar New Year to discuss a variety of topics, ranging from 2025 being Stef's lucky year, to how Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut embodies the representation we didn't know we needed!We also dive into the significance of identifying your Core Values and allowing those to guide decisions, what to say ‘yes' or ‘no' to, instead of operating either out of the fear of missing out or the fear of losing relevance and impact. As always, the Making Strides Podcast is about building representation and about changing the ways we expect ourselves and others to show up in the running world. We hope you enjoy this convo (take us with you on your next run!), and if you do, please subscribe and leave a rating and review!We are so grateful you're here — in this space, in the sport, and in this world! #keepshowingup, keep taking up space, and keep on being the change we wish to see.Special thanks to our Audio Engineer, ⁠⁠Mark Kalagayan⁠⁠, from the non-profit, ⁠⁠SPARC Worldwide⁠⁠.#MakingStridesPod#letsFlippindothis#diversewerunShow Notes:1:00 - Is the name “Lunar New Year” actually accurate?!7:01 - The Year of the Snake and The Year of Stef!13:10 - Time management and multi-tasking20:10 - How meditation practice is going23:15 - Identifying core values 43:05 - “A Real Pain” movie55:45 - What's ahead56:40 - Coaching athletes for WSER for GU and Rising Hearts, building representation and giving access to overlooked communities1:02:35 - Upcoming travelsLinks:Free trial to Op-e-n Meditation AppLive Your Values Card DeckArmchair Expert Podcast with Jesse EisenbergWestern State athletes being sponsored by GU Energy Labs and Rising Hearts:Miki SawadaFaith AkioyamenScott FlatlipFind Stef ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠Find Carolyn ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠

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.

Dylan has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Ultrarunning in the earthly 2000's and brought a “College Gameday” vibe to the conversation that plays like 3 long time friends unpacking the movie on a weekly long run. In this episode, the hosts continue their discussion about the film 'Unbreakable' and the impact it had on the trail running community. They focus on the experiences and stories of the four main athletes featured in the film: Anton Krupicka, Geoff Roes, Hal Koerner, and Kilian Jornet. They discuss how these athletes influenced the sport and share their own personal interactions with them. They also analyze Killian Jornet's race at the 2010 Western States and the mistakes he made, such as not carrying water and taking too much time at aid stations. They focus on the early experiences and inspirations of the participants in the sport of trail running. It covers topics such as the first time they saw the movie 'Unbreakable', their introduction to Western States, the Montreal Ultra Cup team, and the influence of Scott Jurek.
