Celebrating their 113th episode, they reflect on their show's journey and accomplishments. The discussion centers on Austin's impressive feat in the annual Judgment Day Ride, a grueling 70-mile event through 10 trails in 24 hours. Austin details his last-minute decision, preparation, and the unique approach he took, including riding on a gravel bike and commuting between trails. They also explore training routines, equipment choices, and bike preferences, with Austin sharing insights on minimal use of a coach, creating his own route planning, and a unique way of hot waxing his bike chain. The trio discusses the importance of safety, the perception of XC racing, and Austin's philosophy of always having fun and pushing personal limits in cycling.00:00 Introduction and Episode Kickoff01:18 Special Guest Introduction: Austin Whittington02:28 Judgment Day Event Overview04:07 Austin's Unique Challenge05:20 Training and Preparation Insights05:59 Mountain Biking Adventures10:55 Nutrition and Fueling Strategies25:30 Training Philosophy and Techniques39:42 Maintaining the Drive to Ride40:23 Overcoming Physical and Mental Setbacks41:40 Preparing for a Challenging Ride43:28 Discussing Gear and Equipment45:10 Bikepacking Essentials and Strategies46:52 Nutrition and Hydration Tips52:54 Favorite Rides and Future Plans01:09:13 Bike Components and Preferences01:16:00 Introduction to Coil Shocks01:16:16 Suspension Layouts and Coil Shock Benefits01:18:19 Challenges with Forks01:18:56 Fork Alignment Issues and Solutions01:21:20 Exploring Fork Brands and Preferences01:23:53 Mountain Bike Racing Scene01:25:40 Bike Fit and Crank Length Discussion01:36:03 Waxing Bike Chains01:38:14 Balancing Wheels and Training Tips01:51:07 Cycling Safety and Road Etiquette01:53:49 Final Thoughts and Encouragement

Today on the podcast is Blake Reynolds!Blake just recently transferred to run at Grand Canyon University (GCU) in Arizona, after a successful freshman collegiate season at The University of New Mexico. Blake is an alum of Central Kitsap High School in Washington, a rival to my current high school, Seattle Prep.Blake holds PRs of: 1:55 (800m), 4:11 (1600m), 9:14 (3200m), 15:24 (5K XC).Blake and I chatted today about his early development in the sport of running, coming from a soccer background and being forced by his coaches and parents to specialize in the sport of running. In high school, Blake found early success, finishing 15th at the Washington State XC meet in the 3A classification, where he was projected to finish 45th going in.Blake followed this up with an incredibly successful track season, where he ran 9:14 for 3200m and 4:11 for 1600m, good enough to finish 5th at the State meet and become the 3rd-fastest sophomore 1600m runner in the nation at that time.Unfortunately, however, Blake's career took and unfortunate and career-altering turn. During the summer going into his junior year, Blake broke his ankle doing non-running-related activities. While he had a nice recovery, running 15:24 at Nike Portland XC in the fall, this comeback was short-lived. At the League Championships in XC his junior year, Blake re-injured that ankle, leaving him unable to walk, and sidelining him for the District Championships meet. Blake was healthy enough to run at the State Championships, where he had his breakout performance the year prior. That year, while he was projected to finish in the top three, Blake, in one of the lowest of his career, finished 24th in that race in a time of 16:36.6.While I would love to say there was a comeback, Blake was unable to recover his high school career. He had three more unsatisfactory seasons to close off his high school career, and was unable to break 4:20 for 1600m his senior year. Blake said he was never able to make peace with the disappointing end to his four years.Blake and I talk about what it was like being at rock bottom and in hindsight, what he would have done differently physically and mentally, invaluable advice that could help you in your career and rise to the top.We also discuss his freshman year at UNM, getting to run with some of the greatest collegiate athletes in our sport, like Habtom Samuel, and some exclusive physical and mental training techniques that Blake has utilized to increase his performance and build an optimistic outlook for his future.Overall, through Blake's experiences and his failures, Blake has adopted a “one step at a time” philosophy, learning the importance of focusing on the present moment, especially when navigating injuries or setbacks. From this, Blake has also learned why mental training is critical for great athletes looking to become elite.Blake understand that he is still developing and leans into the long game, something we can all adapt and apply to our own careers.I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Dave and Alex welcome Tilly O'Connor on the show and we talk about her running journey, transitioning to college athletics and which she prefers between XC and Track!

Today on the show is the 4th appearance of Erik Semling!Erik holds PRs of 4:20 (1600m), 9:10 (3200m), and 15:00 (5K XC). He an age-group world record-holder in the 5000m and 10000m.If you have been following Erik's journey since middle school, where he broke age-group world records in the 5K and 10K, as well as our previous conversations, they you know that my conversation with him today is not some recurring segment. Today, we get a new chapter of Erik's running career.The last time we talked, Erik was fresh off  his freshman XC season, where he became a state champion in Minnesota, and had strong performances at Runninglane Nationals and NXR Heartland.. Since then, Erik became a 2x Minnesota state champion as only a freshman, winning the 3200m and placing 3rd in the 1600m.This episode isn't just about times or titles. It's about growth. Physical, mental, emotional. It's about what it feels like to go from middle school phenom to competitor, from being known as “that middle school kid breaking world records,” to being in the arena with the best high schoolers in the country and finding out who you are when the playing field levels.We dive into how Erik has changed his form and developed his speed, his training, and maybe most importantly, his relationship with pressure and expectations.Erik's always brought a unique blend of humility and honesty to this podcast. He's deeply analytical, incredibly self-aware, and he doesn't shy away from the questions that matter about nerves, burnout, legacy, or what it actually takes to be great in a sport that rarely gives you clarity in the moment.Whether you're a high school athlete trying to find your way, a coach looking to understand what makes a young elite tick, or a fan of the sport watching one of the most interesting runners in the country evolve in real time this one's for you.I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout.Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!Erik's State Reaction YT Video: https://youtu.be/KQvRgrHHi7g?si=M_zdcYmJOj3ULJ5k

Today on the show is Aydon Stefanopoulos!Aydon is a graduated senior out of Los Gatos High School in California. He will be a rising freshman in the fall at UCLA. Aydon holds PRs of 1:51 for 800m, 4:06 for 1600m, 8:57 for 3200m, and 14:52 for 5K XC. He is the 2023 CIF D2 XC State Champion and a 2023 NXN Qualifier. Aydon and I had one of the most unpolished, raw, candid conversations I have ever had on The Sunday Shakeout. This was not an episode filled with positivity and glorified realities of the mental and physical side of our sport. We dive into the nitty gritty side of the sport of distance-running. As a junior, Aydon became a state champion and ran at Nike Cross Nationals (NXN). This set a high bar to live up to in his senior year. Unfortunately, however, Aydon has struggled with injuries and underperforming this past year. Not only did he fail to win state XC and qualify for NXN, he did not have the redemption that he wanted this track season, despite setting PRs in multiple distances.Aydon, in this episode, openly admits his struggles with confidence, self-doubt, and the mental toll of injuries and underperformance. Rather than focusing on just accomplishments, he highlights his mistakes, regrets, and the emotional fallout of underachieving. He talks about being "not proud" of parts of his senior year, showing maturity and humility. Now you might be asking: "Why would I listen to such a melancholy podcast episode?"Because despite the setbacks, disappointment, and raw realities presented in my conversation with Aydon, he has had a few mindset shifts:Aydon has moved from chasing perfection to valuing long-term health and enjoyment of the sport. Through injuries and setbacks, Aydon shares interesting insights on the importance of under-training. Sounds crazy. But worth a listen. Aydon's excitement about the next chapter at UCLA stems from a desire to learn, adapt, and improve, rather than prove anything. His ability to embrace uncertainty is instructive for all of us in the pursuit of excellence in our careers. Hopefully this episode is a refreshing change, one that opens eyes and serves as an inspirational reminder of the raw realities of the sport, perhaps an opportunity for redirection for you in your life.

Send us a textBelieve is primarily a tool to help runners log details of their training so they can find patterns that will help them identify what is and isn't working in their training, but it is more than that. The Believe Training Journal also has examples of how pro runners Lauren and Ro fill in their journal, information that can help you bring your performance to the next level and quizzes to help you identify your personality traits so that you can work with them instead of against them; for example, I discovered there are two types of athletes, worriers and warriors, both can be successful, but they need to have different strategies.Lauren Fleshman found running at age 13 as an adventurous, scrappy tomboy looking for a place to belong. A top high school recruit out of California, Lauren went on to win five NCAA titles and 15 All-American honors to earn a spot in the Stanford University Hall of Fame.

Today on the podcast is Tayshaun Ogomo. Tayshaun is a graduated senior out of Herriman High School in Utah. He will be running at Utah Sate University this fall. Tayshaun holds PRs of:800m: 1:48.87* (Altitude converted: 1:49.40)3-mile XC: 13:57 5K XC: 14:44Tayshaun just recently set the high school 4x800m National Record with the Herriman squad at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals meet. This was a statement race for the Herriman team, especially after falling short at NXN this past fall, where they were the defending champs. Tayshaun and I discussed the emotions of what it meant for that team to fall short and the mental approach he took to making the comeback. And yes, there was a comeback. At New Balance Indoor Nationals, Herriman proved they are the best team in the nation and that NXN 2024 was a fluke, winning the DMR National Title. They then followed it up with that aforementioned national title in the 4x800m. In addition to the Herriman team dynamic, Tayshaun and I discuss the impact that Doug Soles has had on his career, as well as his individual success in the sport, claiming his first state title in a walk-off win at the Utah State meet. Overall, amazing conversation with Tayshaun. You will not want to miss this one. Please consider leaving a follow and a five-star review! I am on a mission this summer to deliver the highest quality video podcast in the sport of distance-running. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout.

Emma Bateup is no stranger to going full send into the deep end. Whether it's tossing her bike across a flooded river or screaming into the Scottish mountains during a low moment, she's all in. Just a couple of years into ultra racing, Emma already has a resume that includes wins in the women's race at Tour te Waipounamu, a fourth overall at the Great Southern Brevet, and now a breakout performance at the 2024 Highland Trail 550—where she won the women's race and placed 7th overall.In this episode, Emma shares the story behind that ride, from chasing records to losing her multi-tool in a creek and navigating Scotland's notorious river crossings. We talk about fuelling mistakes (pro tip: never skip a resupply), what happened when her chafing hit code red, and how close competition can unlock your best performance, even if your rival's rain jacket is way too easy to spot.We also get into her journey into bikepacking, how ultra racing compares to enduro and XC racing, and why she thinks crying is a superpower. Emma's energy is contagious, and this conversation is full of laughs, honest reflections, and the kind of type-two stories that make you want to grab your bike and go.Topics include:Emma's 2024 Highland Trail 550 win (and the chaos along the way)Racing head-to-head with Kerry MacPheeRiver crossings, hail storms, and a tragic lost multi-toolHer first ultra at Tour Te Waipounamu and what she's learned sinceThe trade-offs of ambition, joy, and full-time racingCoaching kids, racing XC, and what's nextFollow Emma's adventures on Instagram: @em_b8upFollow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourscyclingFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cycling Hosted on Acast.

Today on the podcast is Jack Meier!Jack just finished his freshman year at the University of Oregon, where he chose to redshirt. Despite the limited racing schedule, Jack still ran 3rd place at 2025 U20 XC in Lubbock, Texas this past winter. Jack is a former 6A XC State Champion in Oregon, an NXN qualifier, and 2x NON All-American. He holds PRs of:5k: 14:353k: 8:191500: 3:555k XC: 14:46Jack has had a rollercoaster running career, finding his beginnings during his freshman year of high school during the COVID-19 Pandemic. By his senior year, he pulled off a walk-off win at the XC state meet, and snagged at spot to run at Nike Cross Nationals. However, his high school career did not end in glory. Over the winter going into his senior track season, Jack felt the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. He committed to run at the University of Oregon, the school he had worked for since he was a little kid. Just weeks later, unfortunately, he sustained a season-altering groin injury that sidelined him for weeks. Despite valiant efforts at a comeback, Jack failed to become an Oregon state champion in track, his ultimate goal since finishing 2nd the year prior. Opening up about his journey on his show, Jack shares the valuable insights and lessons that he has learned in his running journey so far, from both the setbacks and the successes. He also shares what it's like transitioning from high school to the collegiate level and what he is looking forward to in the years ahead. Overall, Jack is a chiller and I know that you will enjoy my conversation with him today. Thank you for your support of the show!

The second round of the 2025 World Cup from Loudenvielle, France, produced some of the fastest racing we've seen in recent memory and was (somehow) filled with more funny drama than the first round in Poland. But it turns out a dry, straight track makes for iconic Hail Mary race runs, and the UCI/Warner Bros/Discovery not knowing how to enforce their own rules makes for good podcasting banter. We had fun this week chatting about the ongoing #polegate disputes, Dak's panic after watching racing from the sideline and rushed last-minute prep before Leogang, the Henry Keifer situation, the Stan Nisbet situation, Ronan showing why we ride with tires on our rims, track safety and the need for more turns, and most importantly, the tightness of riding pants. We have been treated to some iconic racing thus far this season, and Leogang this weekend will surely be exciting. Now let's just hope our co-host-extrodinare can make it past Q2! 0:13 - The Dak Update3:10 - Dak's panic from watching people ride in Loudenvielle6:05 - UCI trying to copy our post-race show9:05 - More insight into Dak's prep before Leogang14:13 - Has the field gotten faster this year?16:30 - #polegate again17:50 - Henry Keifer's start hut pit stop19:39 - Stan Nisbet stopped from racing24:15 - Ronan doesn't need tires.

What starts as a hobby sometimes becomes something much more. In this episode, we follow the journey of a young racer inspired by his older brother's ATV passion. From trail rides to discovering local XC events, his path to competition began on a sport quad—chasing the thrill and unknowingly following the tracks of a future WXC pro.He began racing local events, learning the ropes and finding his place in the sport. But as his skills evolved, so did his perspective. Eventually, he found his strength not in the sport quad class—but in the growing and competitive Pro 4x4 division.And somewhere along the way, he found more than just a racing career… he found a partner at the track who would later become Mrs. Jenkins.This is the story of a homegrown racer finding his lane—on and off the track.

Send us a textA groundbreaking initiative is transforming the traditionally male-dominated ground support equipment industry, one connection at a time. The Women of GSE movement celebrates its first anniversary this year, having evolved from a casual conversation to a powerful network supporting women across aviation ground operations.Started by passionate industry professionals from companies like Mallaghan and XSEED, the Women of GSE initiative creates meaningful networking opportunities at major industry events. Their impact was perfectly captured by one attendee who approached organizers after a European event saying, "I came here not knowing anyone and I'm so thankful that I had this time to network and meet people." This simple yet profound testimonial demonstrates how these gatherings transform the conference experience, especially for newcomers to the industry.The group has developed several ongoing programs, including monthly spotlights featuring women from various sectors of the industry—from CEOs to engineers—and is now launching their "Women of GSE Give Back" initiative. This new charitable program will support the Resurrection Preschool in Winter Garden, Florida by collecting essential school supplies during the upcoming GHI conference in Orlando. Collection boxes will be available throughout the event, accepting items like crayons, markers, and double-sided tape, along with cash donations that will be converted to Amazon gift cards for the school.Women of GSE welcomes anyone interested in supporting their mission. You can connect with them on LinkedIn by searching for their distinctive purple logo, attend their networking event at GHI Orlando on Wednesday at 1:30 PM in the Speed Networking area, or simply stop by to contribute to their charitable initiative. As they move into their second year, their message remains clear: GSE is "a great place to work with good people" where women can thrive, connect, and make a difference both within the industry and beyond.Looking for reliable and flexible ground support equipment leasing solutions?

In this episode I am joined by Dr. Abigail Bideaux, MD to cover the topic of how to adjust your training, return to training, and navigate sickness as an athlete. We cover everything from preventing illness, why runners may be more susceptible to illness, how to return to training after being sick, when to rest vs when to train, whether or not you should take medications like Advil when sick and navigating potential side effects from chronic use, improving immune function through sound nutrition, training, and rest, and so much more. Dr. Abigail Bideaux is currently in her third year of residency at the University of Virginia where she is able to care for patients in a variety of settings including runners at their running clinic. She received her undergraduate degree in Biology with a nutrition concentration at Cornell University and graduated from medical school at SUNY Upstate in Syracuse, NY. She is originally from upstate New York, competed in XC and on the track in high school and ran D1 at Cornell. She has been able to continue running throughout medical school including running her marathon PR of 3:24:31. She will be doing her fellowship in Sports Medicine to specialize so she can continue to work with athletes and emphasizes the importance of nutrition.email Abbie: abigail.bideaux@gmail.comAbbie's IG: ⁠@abigailbideaux_md⁠1:1 nutrition coaching: ⁠⁠https://holleyfuelednutrition.com/nutrition-coaching⁠⁠Thank you BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode!

Send us a textStep into the world of ground support equipment innovation as the Power Stow Americas team opens their doors to reveal how they're quietly revolutionizing baggage handling operations worldwide. From their facility in Norcross, Georgia, this intimate conversation takes listeners on an unexpected journey through the company's fascinating origin story and current cutting-edge solutions.The podcast features a remarkable cast of industry veterans - Ken Brown (KB), who spent 38 years with United Airlines before crossing over to lead Power Stow Americas; Justin Brennan, bringing his extensive GSE sales expertise; and most surprisingly, Arlie Wurtzen, who designed chocolate manufacturing equipment (including the knife that cuts Kit Kat bars!) before helping develop Power Stow's first prototype over 20 years ago.What began as a solution to European regulations limiting lifting weight has evolved into a product line that dramatically improves ergonomics for ramp workers. The flagship roller track system, which extends conveyor belts directly into aircraft cargo holds, has become so valued that ramp agents have physically fought over units and stayed with them during breaks to prevent others from "borrowing" their equipment.The conversation explores how Power Stow has expanded beyond their initial success with new innovations like the tail loader (bridging the gap between belt loaders and carts), the transfer belt (solving ergonomic challenges in baggage rooms), and assisted docking systems (addressing aircraft damage concerns). Throughout each development, the company maintains its obsessive focus on user experience and customer service, shipping parts same-day and deploying technicians within 24 hours when needed.Most compelling are the stories of transformation - from KB's journey as a skeptical airline executive to becoming the company's biggest advocate, to the moments when resistant veteran ramp workers suddenly realize how the technology can extend their careers by protecting their bodies. These human elements reveal why Power Stow has earned such loyalty in an industry where relationships and reliability matter more than fancy marketing.Ready to see these innovations in person? Visit Power Stow at the upcoming GSE Expo in Las Vegas, where they'll showcase their systems and demonstrate why this team has earned such respect throughout the aviation ground handling community.Looking for reliable and flexible ground support equipment leasing solutions?

As Keegan Smith is apt to say, winning isn't everything – running your best is.Up next in our 2025 HOKA Festival of Miles series, we welcome one of the most dominant high school distance runners in the country: Keegan Smith, straight out of Tennessee.From the moment he laced up as a freshman, Keegan's been smashing records and turning heads. He opened his high school career by dropping a 14:53.79 5K — the fastest ever by a U.S. freshman in cross country — then lit up the track with a 4:14.63 mile and an 8:52.96 3,200m, both national freshman records.Fast forward to his senior year: Keegan clocked a blistering 14:23.26 at the Nike Cross Southeast Regional, breaking the Tennessee state record and proving he's still leveling up. He closed out his high school XC career with wins at NXR Southeast and Foot Locker South, and shattered three all-time course records along the way.His PRs speak for themselves: he has run 1:51.93 in 800m; 3:55.64 in the 1500m; 4:11.90 in the mile; 8:54.97 in the two-mile; and 14:23.26 in the 5,000m in cross country. The longer the race, the stronger he gets.Now committed to the University of Colorado, Keegan's taking his talent to one of the top distance programs in the nation. And with NIL deals already in place with HOKA and Precision Fuel & Hydration, he's not just running fast — he's building a brand.In today's conversation, Keegan shares behind-the-scenes stories from my marathon (lol), what it was like to run a local race, his breakdown of XC postseason, why his XC season was so meaningful to him, running a 4:04 Mile while being injured, his ambitions for the outdoor track season, and racing the 2025 HOKA Festival of Miles meet. Tap into the Keegan Smith Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Send us a textStepping into the world of advanced battery technology, this episode takes us to Kokomo, Indiana—the global headquarters of Green Cubes Technology. Here, we explore how lithium batteries are revolutionizing ground support equipment operations at airports worldwide.Jerry Crump and Darren Kiefer walk us through Green Cubes' fascinating journey from their 1986 beginnings in small power electronics to becoming leaders in lithium battery technology for material handling and GSE applications. Their transition makes perfect sense—both industries require batteries that serve dual purposes as power sources and equipment ballast, though the adoption curves have differed significantly between the two sectors.What truly distinguishes Green Cubes in the crowded battery market is their commitment to flexibility and customization. Rather than forcing customers to adapt to standardized products, they design solutions tailored to specific operational requirements. Their GSE SafeFlux battery system incorporates sophisticated protection mechanisms that prevent operation in potentially damaging conditions, such as charging when cells are below freezing or automatically throttling performance when temperatures rise too high.Perhaps most refreshing is their approach to data sharing. While many manufacturers lock customers into proprietary systems, Green Cubes makes battery data freely available to any telematics platform a customer might prefer. This open architecture eliminates the frustration of managing multiple dashboards and logins while empowering operators to make data-driven decisions about their fleets.With over 13,000 high-power systems deployed globally, their experience translates into batteries that perform reliably whether they're operating in the freezing temperatures of Minneapolis or the scorching heat of Phoenix. For airport operations seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional power sources, Green Cubes offers not just a battery, but a comprehensive power solution designed for the unique challenges of ground support equipment.Looking to electrify your GSE fleet or upgrade your existing battery systems? Discover how Green Cubes' approach to lithium technology could transform your ground operations' reliability, sustainability, and performance.Looking for reliable and flexible ground support equipment leasing solutions?
