Racing in a 200+ mile race contains so many things to manage: from the long miles, the sleep, blister management, and nutrition (to name only a few variables), there is a lot to get right when it comes to running a great 200 mile race.

And over his running career, Cole Crosby has learned a ton on how to efficiently run a 200+ mile race or event in a way that gets you to the finish line strong. He’s learned this through his finish at Cocodona 250, The Speed Project OG Solo Route, and getting the FKT on the Bay Circuit Trail.

In this episode, Cole shares all of the lessons from each of those races, and key strategies that have helped him accomplish success in a very long distance ultra.

Cole Crosby is a member of the Aravaipa New England Racing Team, is the current record holder for FKT on the Bay Circuit Trail, and has amassed multiple wins and podium finishes at many ultras.

Huge thank you to Cole for coming on the show!

“You will never walk or hike again”. That is what doctors told Amanda Kimiko Tsujikawa after she was diagnosed with cancer. But since then, she has raced and podiumed at Spartan race events, summited tons of high altitude and challenging mountains, won a half marathon, and most recently, competed in the Ironman World Championships in Kona. 

And while those athletic accomplishments are amazing, what’s even more amazing is that she beat cancer TWICE. 

And now, she’s gearing up to take on her next challenge: the Leadville 100 miler.

Amanda Kimiko Tsujikawa is an elite endurance athlete, mountaineer, and content creator. Through her inspiring story of beating cancer twice and accomplishing incredible endurance feats, she is on a mission to inspire others to be unbreakable in their own lives.

In this episode, Amanda shares how she was able to overcome cancer with a powerful mindset, her approach to taking on new endurance challenges, and how she deploys mental strategies to keep her moving when things are difficult in an ultra.

Let’s face it: if you’re running an ultra, you will hit low points and get uncomfortable. Resistance will arise physically, mentally, and emotionally, all inevitably in the thick of your next ultramarathon. 

So, your ability to push through discomfort and challenges during the midst of an ultramarathon will be a key factor to whether you hit your ultra goals, finish the race, and keep moving forward.

And after interviewing hundreds of the best ultrarunners, along with taking away key moments from my ulrarunning career, I’ve found some of the most effective tools to help you push through the moments of discomfort and challenges in the middle of a race, so you can hit your biggest goals.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to know when to keep pushing and when to stop in the moments of pain, how you can take control of your mind to push through any discomfort, and how to change your relationship with pain so it can be your ally.

Huge thank you for listening to the show!

What is it like to run 50 miles at a 5:45 average pace? Our guest today tells us exactly what it feels like and what it took to help him get there. Because he recently did that at the Tunnel Hill 50 miler where he set the world record for fastest 50 mile in 4:48:41!

487 miles, 90,000 ft of elevation gain, in a stunning 6 days, 15 hours, and 8 minutes. That is what Kyle Curtin just accomplished as he broke the fastest known time record for the Colorado Trail.

To pull of this amazing feat, Kyle had to have an iron-clad mindset, a dialed in strategy, a well-oiled team, and a relentless focus on moving forward. And he was able to pull it all off in the adventure of a lifetime.

Kyle not only planned and executed well for this race, but he also leaned on his extensive accomplishments in his running career, including top 10 finish at Western States 100, top 10 finish at Tor Des Geants, Course Record for Tahoe 200, FKT on the Tahoe Rim Trail, and many other wins and podium finishes. He is also a pro athlete for Altra, Tailwind, and Superganix.

In this episode, Kyle shares the stories from the trail, tips to dial in your own logistics, mindset, and nutrition, and how he was able to pull off one of the best performances in ultrarunning for 2024.

Huge thank you to Kyle for coming on the show!

Is it possible to transform your entire life, even when it seems so incredibly dark? Our guest today is the perfect example of showing that it most certainly is.

Brandon Stutzman dealt with homelessness, depression, and a rough childhood during the early years of his life. But through taking control of his mind, as well as finding passion through ultra running, he was able to turn it all around. And now, he’s gearing up to attempt his first ever 100-mile race, along with completing 1,000 pull-ups throughout the attempt, all self-supported. And he’s raising money for the homeless shelter he was a part of when he was growing up. Truly incredible!

Brandon is also a content creator and videographer who has shot content for tons of ultrarunners around the country. He even directed and produced his own documentary called “For the Kids” which is available on YouTube, and in the link below.

In this episode, Brandon discusses why ultrarunning has played such a huge role in his transformation, tools that he uses to level up his own mindset, and how to bounce back from the dark points in your life (whether it be during an ultra or in your day-to-day life).

Getting physical therapy treatment is becoming a staple for runners across the country. And for good reason. Because whether you’re looking to rehab a current injury, or prevent one from popping up during your training, working with a physical therapist can help you stay on the path towards your running goals.

But with all the options for physical therapy, health insurance limitations, and so many different approaches to treatment, it can be overwhelming to pick the right physical therapist for your running lifestyle.

That’s why I brought on my good friend and licensed physical therapist, Dr. Kayleigh Coffman on the show today! Kayleigh is a physical therapist at Launch Physical Therapy located in the Phoenix, AZ area, and she has tons of experience treating athletes who are looking to rehab and/or prevent injuries.

In this episode, Kayleigh breaks down everything you need to know to find the best physical therapist for you. From busting common PT myths, to sharing suggestions on which types of treatment are ideal, to breaking down the key principles you need to address when working with a PT, Kayleigh covers it all! She’s super knowledgeable and has a wealth of knowledge in the PT world; so, it’s no surprise that she delivers on this value-packed episode!

If you’re lining up for 100 miles, your mindset needs to be strong. And that requires you to take a deeper look inside yourself to make sure that you have the trust and confidence to take on the miles.

For David Roche, he exuded this confidence, mindset, and belief in himself when he won his very first 100 mile race at the Leadville 100, shattering a course record that stood for many years.

And he credits a lot of his victory to his mindset, consistency, and belief in himself that he’s built over the many years.

David Roche is a running coach, podcast host of the Some Work, All Play Podcast, elite runner, and thought leader in the running space who has multiple podium finishes and is now the Leadville 100 course record holder.

In this episode, David shares how he was able to shift his mindset to dive fully into 100 miles with confidence, how he was able to build himself and his abilities to do great things in running, and training principles that helped him to be successful at Leadville.

Huge thank you to David for coming on the show!

It’s never fun dealing with injuries when it comes to ultrarunning; especially when it prevents us from doing the things we love to do the most.

That’s why I invited today’s guest, Brodie Sharpe, onto the show to give you an absolute masterclass in preventing and rehabbing running related injuries. And when it comes to this subject, there’s no better person to go to than Brodie!

Brodie is a renowned physiotherapist who, over the last 8 years, has helped hundreds of runners repair and reduce running related injuries. He is also the host of the Run Smarter Series Podcast, a show dedicated to helping you become a better and healthier runner. His podcast is ranked in the top 1.5% podcasts globally.

Before this podcast interview, I personally worked with Brodie to heal an awful IT-Band injury I had that was preventing me from running. But, with Brodie’s incredible insight and coaching, I was able to heal the injury in 4 weeks (whereas it took me 3 months to heal the same injury when I had it a couple years ago). Brodie is the real deal!

In this episode, Brodie and I chat about the biggest mistakes and misconceptions that people have when it comes to injuries, what steps you can take to make sure you reduce the risk of injury, and the most impactful ways to sustainably rehab injuries so you can get back to running.

If you’re an endurance athlete, there’s no doubt you’re spending a ton of time when it comes to training. And sometimes, spending all of that time out on the trails or the roads can lead to a sense of burnout, lack of enjoyment, or a feeling of stagnation.

But, with a shift in your mindset and approaching the way you train, you can not only avoid burning out in your training; but you can also deepen your love for running and endurance.

And in this episode, we feature hybrid athlete, ultrarunner, and content creator, Mak Smith on the podcast who delivers an absolute masterclass when it comes to deepening your love for endurance in a sustainable way.

Mak has completed multiple ultramarathons, competes at the Elite level in Spartan Races and HYROX races, and also ventures into the world of backpacking. She is extremely popular on TikTok and social media, as her unwavering authenticity through her content and sharing her journey has grabbed the hearts of thousands.

As a runner, we want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be.

But if we have bad habits (running related or not), those habits can drag us further away from the runner and person that we want to be.

For me, that was drinking and taking Adderall; two things that I've been sober from for years. And in this episode, I share my journey on how I did it.

I also talk about how you can break limiting beliefs, how to live the life that you want to, and how to destroy bad habits in a sustainable way, so that you can be the best runner and person you can be.

This is an episode from the Juniper Lab Podcast, which I totally suggest every one check out.

Let's face it: we will face hardships in life. Whether it's unexpected news that shifts our life, stressful times at work, or family issues, challenges can test our will to run.

But, there is a way to train your brain to stick with running, even when life is hard.

Because dealing with issues in life doesn't mean you have to stop running. In fact, it could be the time when you need running the most.

So, if you're dealing with low motivation, lack of energy, no desire to run, or just the overwhelm of life preventing you from getting in that run, this is the episode for you.

I'll share how I've navigated through difficult times in my life, such as my father's recent passing, to maintain my running and stay strong despite going through mental low points.

Thank you so much for listening!

When you set big running goals, it not only takes a ton of physical training to accomplish those goals; but it also takes tons of mental training as well. And the most important mental training you can do to help you hit your goals is cultivating a bulletproof sense of self-belief.

And that is exactly what today’s guest has mastered over the past year every time he’s toed the line at an ultra. Especially after his most recent Golden Ticket win at Bandera 100k 2023.

In this episode, we chat with JP Giblin who is an ultra runner based out of Boulder, CO. JP most recently placed in 2nd at the Bandera 100k in Texas, securing a Golden Ticket to get him into Western States, which was a huge goal of his throughout the past year.

On top of his impressive finish at Bandera, he’s also placed 2nd at the legendary Leadville 100 (only a week after doing a 100 mile mountain bike race!), 13th at the Canyons 100k, 3rd at the McDowell Mountain Frenzy, and 2nd in the Silver Rush 50 miler.

And one of his biggest keys to success along the way has been his ability to cultivate deep-self belief and harness the mindset of a true winner when it comes to racing an ultra.

You’ll hear JP share an inspirational breakdown of his epic Golden Ticket win at Bandera 100, practical tips that he uses to cultivate self-belief and determination out on a race, and how to solve problems and bust imposter syndrome as a runner.

Huge thank you to JP Giblin for coming on the show!

How do you not let excuses win when it comes to getting the work done as an ultrarunner? Whether it’s showing up day after day in your training, pushing through the mental lows of a long run, or dealing with how to get in the training in a busy life, building the strength to overcome the excuses is a must!

And our guest today is the epitome of not letting excuses win. Jacky Hunt-Broersma is an ultrarunner who is a cancer survivor, amputee, and mother. And despite facing setbacks in her life, she was able to achieve the world record for most consecutive marathons in a row, at 104 marathons!

On top of that, she is also running at least a half marathon every day for nearly 250 days in a row, and is currently in the middle of the challenge! She is doing this in honor of cancer survivors and those who have passed from cancer.

In this episode, Jacky shares how she built the self-belief and mindset to be able to accomplish what she has accomplished, her secret weapons for overcoming mental lows, and how she approaches training for her big ultra goals.

Huge shoutout to Jacky for coming on the show!

What if your legs were able to run for longer periods of time before getting tired, sore, or fatigued?

That'd be pretty awesome. Because that would mean you'd be able to perform better, run faster, and likely get the results you're looking for in your next ultra.

But the problem is that a lot of runners don't set their legs up for success in their training to be durable. And even if they do the right things, they do it in a way that leads to injury, overuse, or underrecovery.

That's why in this episode, I'll break down how you can set up your training to increase durability, prevent muscular breakdown, and run stronger for longer.

Thank you so much for listening to the show!

Even if you follow the best training plan for your next ultra, our minds can work against us to fall short of our running goal.

But there is a way to take control of your mind so that it works FOR you as opposed to AGAINST you. And all it takes is one mindset shift to completely put that into practice.

And when you develop this mindset shift, it will allow you to achieve any ultrarunning goal you set yourself towards. And yes, it sounds like it’s clickbait, but I credit this mindset shift to a majority of the progress I’ve made in my ultrarunning career.

And this episode will share with you that exact mindset shift and action items on how to implement it in your daily lifestyle.

So whatever big goal you have as an ultrarunner, this will be the episode that will show you how to do it!

In this, we cover why our brains tend to limit us, what the most powerful belief to have as an ultrarunner is, how to destroy negative thinking, and how you can make a plan to achieve any goal you set your mind to as an ultrarunner.

Super stoked to have Mak back on the pod to discuss lessons learned from her thru-hike of the Colorado Trail, High Lonesome 100, and recently getting engaged.

One of the toughest accomplishments to achieve in ultrarunning is securing a Golden Ticket spot to Western States 100 by placing in the top 2 of the Canyons 100K race. And today’s guest recently accomplished that feat, even though the race was only his first 100K ever!

Adam Peterman is a HOKA athlete who has been taking the ultrarunning world by storm over the last few years in his early career. He won the JFK 50 miler in 2021, nearly breaking a seemingly unreachable course record. And in this year, he took first place at the Canyons 100K race to secure his spot at Western States 100, where he will no doubt be a top contender to look out for in an already stacked field.

And in this episode, we dive into Adam’s approach to training and preparation for big races, how he tackles negative thoughts during the middle of a race or on training runs, and what he’s focusing on going into Western States 100.

Huge thank you to Adam for making this episode happen!

Training for an ultra marathon takes a ton of work. But just because it takes a ton of work doesn’t mean you can’t have fun and can’t enjoy the process along the way. And our guest today lives by that philosophy, as he is an incredibly talented runner who takes the podium often; but still has an absolute blast whenever he’s training for his next race.

Today, we’re chatting with Bryce Brooks! Bryce is an ultraruner based out of Phoenix, AZ and is also on the marketing team at Aravaipa Running. He has taken ton of podium and top finishes at Arizona races, most recently taking two wins and one third place finish at the winter DRT series run by Aravaipa.

Bryce has also completed the entire Arizona Trail, which is an incredible accomplishment on its own!

But even though Bryce is super speedy and can race well, he also has tons of fun in his training! That means grabbing tons of local crowns on Strava segments on the area, or throwing in a few extra races in his schedule to add some excitement into the mix. And all of this leads to Bryce not only performing well; but also, building a running lifestyle that is best fit for him!

In this episode, Bryce shares his perspective on the value of putting yourself in a ton of races to gain experience, how he has been able to make tons of progress in his running in only a short time in the sport, and his biggest lessons he’s learned throughout his many training runs and races.

And whether you are listening this in the middle of your training block, about to start it, or right before your race, there will be something for you to gain.

Adam Peterman took the ultra running world by storm when he became the new champion of the legendary Western States 100 race this past June, adding to his already impressive resume in the running world.

Having won every single ultra he’s participated in, HOKA athlete Adam Peterman has solidified himself as one of the best athletes in the ultra running sport to date. Not only did he win Western States (which was his first 100 miler ever to make things even more impressive), he also won the Canyons 100k, the JFK 50 miler, and the Speedgoat 50k by breaking Jim Walmsley’s seemingly unreachable course record. All back-to-back-to-back. The dude is on such a hot streak!

In this episode, I joined Adam in his hometown of Missolua, Montana where he recapped his entire Western States experience, along with his biggest takeaways of what led to his success during his epic win.

Adam covers it all in this episode: from incredible race stories at Western, to training tips and strategies, to mindset and the mental game; it’s all in this episode. And it’s definitely my favorite episode that we’ve done to date.

This is also Adam’s second appearance on the Everyday Ultra podcast - so if you’re interested in learning more about his background and training philosophy, feel free to tune in to the episode we did with him earlier in the year!

Huge thank you to Adam Peterman for making this interview happen! He is one of the kindest dudes I’ve met in the ultra community and such an awesome friend.

People always ask me what my favorite podcasts are. And there’s always one that comes right to mind: The Singletrack Podcast. Covering all of the best athletes, hottest topics, and gripping race analysis on some of the most marquee events, Singletrack has grown to one of the biggest podcasts in the sport of trail running.

And today, we have on the man behind the brand, Finn Melanson.

Finn Melanson is the host of the Singletrack Podcast and runs all of the content behind the Singletrack brand. He currently manages Singletrack as his full-time career and is super passionate about adding valuable insights to the trail running community. He has an extensive background in endurance, as he’s thru-hiked the AT, competed in many ultras, and continues to run and race to this day.

But what really makes Finn an amazing guest to listen to  is his philosophy, approach, and mindset when it comes to running. Especially when it comes to finding the best way to mold running into your lifestyle.

In this episode, Finn breaks down how he started Singletrack, how you can structure your running in a way that best fits your true path in life, how he went full-time managing Singletrack, and what his biggest trends he sees ahead for the sport of running.

This was truly one of my favorite episodes as it’s super cool to interview a fellow (and one of my favorite) podcasters in the space.

And one of his biggest keys to success? Building self-belief. Rod had gone through 3 prior races at Western States where he believes that he didn’t give himself a chance to be great. But this year’s race was different. And it showed in the results.

In this episode, Rod shares how he built massive self-belief in himself to get on the podium of one of the most competitive races, stories from his day at the race, and a look inside his mindset towards racing and life.

When it comes to entering the sport of trail running, there is no “by the book” path that is clear on how to best approach it. While Track & Field and road running have that clearer path, trail is something that seems like it has been more of a “figure it out” operation for those who want to develop a career in the sport.

That is why Andy Wacker, professional runner for Salomon, decided to create The Trail Team; a team designed independently support and develop rising athletes into the best professional trail runners in the world through mentorship, skill development, and media exposure.

On the trail team, there are 6 rising athletes who are all names destined to become some of the top names in the sport of trail running over the years. And on this episode, we feature three of those athletes, along with Andy Wacker.

And in this episode, the athletes share about their background, why it’s important for them to have a cross-athlete lifestyle throughout the program, and their best advice for those who want to pursue trail running.

On top of that, Andy also shares the details about the Trail team, how he plans to run the program, and the why behind the organization.

About the athletes featured:

Anna Gibson is a collegiate athlete who runs for the University of Washington, where she anchored her team's Distance Medley Relay to the NCAA record. On the track she specializes in the 800m, 1500m and mile. She placed 5th at her first US Mountain Championships in 2021. Last year, she placed 4th at her first World Cup event in Saint Gervais, France. She aspires to compete professionally on the track and in the mountains.

Christian Allen is a runner who currently runs for BYU and is a WSU alumni as well. He is a two-time All-American in Cross Country. Christian attended both Weber State and Brigham Young University. Christian holds track personal bests of 28:26 in the 10,000m and 13:34 in the 5,000m. Christian AKA Slim, is looking forward to hitting the trail circuit this summer, specifically, “the suffer fest of hammering grueling climbs”.

Meikael Beaudoin-Rousseau is a runner for Stanford University, which he represented in four NCAA Cross Country Championships.

Ashley Paulson recently took on the Cocodona 250 miler as her first 200+ mile attempt. And out of the experience, she finished top 10 female, but also, she overcame so much adversity that made this race incredibly meaningful to her.

And with Ashley being an incredibly accomplished athlete, including winning Badwater twice, winning every 100 miler she's done, and nabbing top finishes at many ultras and triathlons, this 250 mile race was another incredible feat she accomplished.

On top of it all, she's a mother, wife, and devoted family member who also makes that her number one priority.

In this episode, Ashley shares stories and takeaways from her Cocodona experience, including how to stay strong and positive (even when everything is going wrong), how to learn from setbacks, and how to problem solve on the go, even when dealing with a problem you've never faced before.

Huge thank you to Ashley for coming on the show!

Is it possible to go from no ultrarunning background to being a runner who represents USA on the world stage of ultrarunning? You bet!

Our guest today proves its possible, because he's done it! And he's also won many ultramarathon races, been on the podium multiple times, and has had tons of strong finishes. All while also having a family, full-time job, and spending part time as a content creator.

Jake Jackson is our guest today, and he's an absolute grinder when it comes to the sport of ultrarunning. He's represented the US as a part of the 24 hour National Team twice and has racked up tons of great wins and results in his ultrarunning career.

And now, he's gearing up for the longest race he's faced yet: Cocodona 250! And we get into the weeds of his training on this episode.

In this episode, Jake shares his training for Cocodona 250, how he prioritizes recovery and performance, and his best pieces of advice for balancing life and running to be great at both.

Huge thank you to Jake for coming on the show!

Training in the winter as an ultrarunner can be tricky. Whether you have to navigate through freezing temperatures, less access to trails, or snow, it can make it seem difficult to get in the training you need to get ready for your next ultra.

I trained in the winters of Wisconsin, Arizona, and New York, and I’ve learned a ton and have learned a ton from training in the years in the winter. And in this episode, I share everything I’ve learned to help you get in solid training in the winter.

In this episode, we cover how to train for climbing races in the winter (even if you don’t have a treadmill), best practices to navigate the cold weather, and what things to optimize for when training in the winter.

Yoda was wrong! The dark side is a tool that you can use to push through the lowest points in your ultramarathon to give you the strength you need.

So, we have the tools to use it. And when you're able to use it properly, you can get through any difficult challenges in your ultras, so you can finish strong.

This episode is SPICY, so just a heads up!

It’s no surprise that ultrarunning takes a ton of time to dedicate towards training, racing, and recovery. And sometimes, if left unchecked, the busy schedule of an ultrarunner can stray all of the other aspects of life away; including personal relationships. But, there are ways to stay on track with your training while also maintaining amazing personal relationships. And that is exactly what our guests cover today in our episode.

Today, we have on Melody and Jacob Bateman on the podcast! They are a married couple who are both ultrarunners, and often train and race with each other. They have completed an 100 mile race together, and share their tips and insights with other aspiring ultrarunners through their own podcast, The Trail to 100 Podcast.

In this episode, Melody and Jacob discuss how they are able to approach their own romantic relationship while maintaining their ultra training schedules, how they were able to complete their self-supported 100 mile race together, and tips on how you can crush your first 100 mile race (regardless if you do it with your partner or not)

When we attempt big endurance challenges, there are always lessons that come from the experience. And learning from those lessons, whether from ourselves or others, can always be a gamechanger in our ultrarunning career. For Shelby Farrell, her most recent attempt on grabbing the FKT on The Long Trail was filled with incredible lessons, takeaways, and memories of grit that will serve her (and you) in the next challenge. And that’s why we had her on this week’s podcast. Shelby Farrell is an ultrarunner and content creator predominantly supported by Adidas TERREX who has completed Cocodona 250, won The Speed Project Solo edition and is the former course record holder, and tons of other ultras. And in this episode, Shelby shares how she approached training for her FKT attempt on the Long Trail, her lessons on managing emotions and “hype spikes”, and taking care of her body and mind while enduring the long challenge.

To put my training for the Cocodona 250 miler to the test, I ran 100 miles in three days on the Cocodona course as a part of a self-designed training camp. Why? To see my strengths and weaknesses with my current training and to gain confidence for race day!

Training camps are an excellent way to assess your readiness for your next ultra. And in this episode, I show you how I designed this camp so you can design your own.

I also share my biggest takeaways and lessons from the camp, crazy stories from the camp itself, and training principles that helped me have a very successful training camp (without feeling any soreness or over fatigue after the huge weekend!).

This was to help me train for the Arizona Monster 300 miler in April, and it certainly was great training for the big race.

The Black Canyon 100K is one of the most competitive 100Ks in the world, given that it’s a Golden Ticket race and one of the biggest ultras by attendance in the US. That being said, it is also one of the biggest bucket list races for an ultra athlete.

Over the past 12 weeks, I’ve been training for the Black Canyon 100K, as I will be racing in the 2023 edition. And in this episode, I extensively cover my training and strategy for the race, so that you can get some insight into what it takes to train for Black Canyon in case you’re racing it as well.

And in the latter half of the episode, I’m joined by Lindsey McDonald from the Aravaipa Racing Team to break down the Black Canyon course, and what it takes to be successful out there on race day.

This is a part 1 of a 2-part episode on the Black Canyon 100K, so be sure to tune into the second episode which goes into our podium picks and predictions for the 2023 edition of the race!

Michael Versteeg is an Arizona legend in the world of ultrarunning. Winning the inaugural year of Cocodona, once running the FKT for the Arizona Trail, nabbing multiple wins and podiums, and being known as one of the most elusive characters of ultrarunning, Versteeg is a fan favorite.

So, when he announced he was putting on the Saddles 100 mile race last year in Prescott, AZ, the running community was immediately interested.

And in this episode, Michael shares all about the race, including why he started it, what makes it so unique, and the experience he is looking to create in trail running.

We also dive into a bit of Michael’s personal background and how he got into the sport of ultrarunning, which was awesome to dive into.

This episode was recorded during the shoot for an upcoming documentary of the Saddles 100 which will be released in the future. This is the full interview from that documentary.

We did it! At Javelina Jundred, I ran a 15:28 100-mile time with a negative split and came in 10th place male.

And I can now say that I got redemption after last year’s race that didn’t go well. 

This podcast breaks down my training for the race, what it takes to improve on mistakes, how to train intently to get a PR at an ultramarathon distance, and how to overcome mental low points to turn a bad situation into your greatest triumph.

The point of this podcast isn’t just to recap the race; I put this out to inspire you to never give up on your big goals. Even when you fail along the way.

This result was years in the making, and I faced a lot of obstacles, self-doubt, and challenges along the way. But know that even if you face the same, you can overcome those things to run YOUR best race ever, get redemption, and feel fully fulfilled by the result you put out there.

Plus, we cover all of your questions on heat acclimation, nutrition and hydration, pacing, mindset, gear, and more!

Thank you so much for listening and for all of your support!

Every runner deals with mentally struggling and that barrier when in a race. Alyssa Clark shares her insights on the mental and physical aspects of ultra running, emphasizing the importance of bravery, self-belief, and community support. She highlights how mental barriers are just voices that can be overcome and how true winning is about personal growth, not just podium finishes.

Alyssa discusses the significance of consistency in training, noting that building an aerobic base takes years of dedication. She stresses the importance of patience in endurance training and warns against racing too frequently, as it can hinder long-term progress. Instead, selecting key races and optimizing workouts leads to better performance.

To navigate tough moments, Alyssa relies on her mantra, "This is what winning feels like," and encourages runners to find joy in the process to sustain long-term success. She also highlights the value of a strong support team and having interests outside of running to maintain overall happiness.

Ultimately, Alyssa’s message is about balance—embracing the highs and lows of running, taking breaks when needed, and maintaining passion to avoid burnout. Whether a beginner or a seasoned runner, her wisdom offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their performance and enjoyment in the sport.

Sometimes, it takes more than an organized ultra race to push our limits. And that means finding ways to set our own challenges to really see what we’re made of.

For today’s guest, that means running across America, completing the Colorado Crush (running the Leadville Marathon, Leadville 50 miler, Leadville 100, running the entire Colorado Trail, and climbing every 14er in Colorado in a span of ONLY a few months), and running farther than how far a Tesla can go on full-charge. Robbie Ballenger is the man who has completed all of those challenges.

Robbie Balenger is an ultra-endurance athlete who has completed multiple feats of physical and mental accomplishment during his athletic career, and is a world record holder. He is well-known for completing these challenges all on a plant-based diet, and through an innovative sleep technology called NuCalm.

And on top of that, he has a mindset and drive like no other, always trying to find the edge of his limits, and then looking to see how he can break through them.

Robbie has also been featured on the Rich Roll Podcast, and The Bare Performance Podcast.

In this episode, Robbie talks about the real secrets to his incredible endurance accomplishment, tips that anyone can use to complete their own endurance challenges, and why a plant-based diet and NuCalm has been so crucial to his success.

This episode breaks down how he did it.

Plus, there’s a ton of prize money involved in this race, with first place grabbing their chance at $15,000, proving to be one of the largest purses in the ultrarunning community.

In this episode, Brady discusses how he was able to accomplish all of his incredible running challenges, what his biggest lessons were along his journey for those looking to accomplish their own challenges, and a look into the Kauai 50 miler.

Huge thank you to Brady for making this happen!

Go on a “run” and chat with me, Sarah Ostaszewski, and Melissa Ostaszewski for our new monthly series called “The Monthly Long Run”, where we casually chat about our takes in the ultra world, perspectives and tips on ultrarunning, and spicy commentary on what’s going on the running world.

In this inaugural episode, we dive into Sarah’s epic win at Cocodona 250 and a look into what helped her be incredibly successful. And since Melissa was crew chief for Sarah, we get an in-depth breakdown of what it took to have a dialed crew and pacer strategy that set Sarah up for success.

We also chat about what has worked (and what hasn’t worked) for us when it comes to great crews and pacers, a look into some of the most popular summer ultras (Western States and Javelina, specifically), and casual ramblings about running.

If you want us to discuss a topic on this series, let us know and we’d love to dive into it!

Huge thank you to Sarah and Melissa for jumping on as co-hosts!

There’s a powerful message along the lines of: “it’s not what you go through in life that defines you, but rather, it’s how you react to it that does”. And today’s guest is the epitome of that saying as she has defined herself as one of the most inspiring human beings on the planet.

Today, I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who is not only an accomplished ultra-runner, but is also a cancer survivor and an amputee runner who is a world record holder. On top of that, she is also a loving mother and wife. And in the midst of recording this episode, she is currently accomplishing an incredible feat of human endurance: running 100 marathons in 100 consecutive days. So damn inspiring.

In this episode, Jacky shares how she was able to keep moving forward despite all the adversity she’s faced in her life, how to best think about problems when they arise (in both ultrarunning and life), and how she’s able to maintain her discipline to accomplish her biggest goals.

Prepare to be inspired by this one.

Getting in your hydration and electrolyte strategy locked in is one of the most important things you can do as an ultrarunner to make sure you’re performing to your full potential in training and on racing.

And there’s a very simple strategy that you can use to find out how much water you are losing, how much water you need to take in, and how much sodium you should try to intake in order to hydrate fully and feel your best on your runs.

In this episode, I am going to show you exactly how you can implement these simple, but game-changing strategies to help you lock in your hydration strategy as an ultrarunner!

Pierce Showe is an ultraendurance athlete who has completed four 100 mile races, an ultraman triathlon, Ironman races, and most recently, the Tahoe 200 ultramarathon. He is also heading into his second 200-miler only a few weeks after, as he is lining up to chase the Triple Crown of 200s.

But even though Pierce has accomplished a ton of ultras at a young age, he actually had no background in endurance sports before diving into the space. In fact, it was something that he worked hard towards, set his mind to, and build his mindset to be able to handle.

And in this episode, Pierce shares how he was able to build the confidence in himself to take on ultras, stories from his epic Tahoe 200 race, and how faith plays a huge role in his ability to do hard things.

The John Muir Trail is known as one of the most brutal FKTs on a thru-hike to nab in the United States; especially if you’re going for the fastest known time on that trail. It’s short enough to need speed. But the terrain and elevation gain is tough enough to challenge even the most seasoned thru-hiker.

So, when Jeff Garmire ventured out to break the unsupported FKT for the JMT, he knew he was in for a challenge. But despite the difficulty of it all, Jeff got it done and secured the FKT in 3 days, 47 minutes, and 56 seconds.

Jeff Garmire is one of the most accomplished thru-hikers of all time, having over 15 FKTs under his belt, including ones on the Arizona Trail, Colorado Trail, Long Trail, and now, the JMT. He has also completed the Calender Year Triple Crown, which consists of completing the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail all in one calendar year.

He is also the author of the book, Free Outside, which chronicles his Calendar Year Triple Crown Journey.

In this episode, Jeff breaks down the details, stories, and challenges he faced on his JMT unsupported FKT. Plus, he shares how he was able to get over the mental challenges that came from starting and completing the challenge. And he shares the importance of doing big challenges that scare the heck out of you.

This is an episode you do not want to miss!

Jeff is also coming out with a new film called Free Outside, which documents his unsupported FKT of the Colorado Trail in an epic production that captures the challenge in a way where no unsupported FKT has been documented before.

Here’s the link to check out the trailer for Free Outside: https://freeoutside.com/film/

I raced the Black Canyon 100K this past Saturday, and boy, did I learn a lot! Although the race was incredibly fun, the day did not go the way I wanted it to go; but the lessons I gained from my experience were some of the best takeaways that I’ve learned in any ultra so far.

In this episode, I break down the play-by-play of my Black Canyon 100K race, the lessons and takeaways I learned from my race, and suggestions for anyone who is looking to take on their next ultra (regardless of whether or not it is the Black Canyon 100K).

I did end up finishing the race, but placed in 29th male, well short of my goal of going after a Golden Ticket. And I hope this episode helps to give you into a look at what factors go into NOT having a great day (so that you CAN have a great day the next time you take on your ultra).

If you’d like to look into my training going into Black Canyon 100K, feel free to listen in to part 1 of our preview episode that we did before the race here: https://anchor.fm/everyday-ultra/episodes/Black-Canyon-100K-Training--Strategy-and-Course-Tips-2023-Preview---Part-1-e1uug79

Creating a race schedule is one of the most fun processes of being an ultrarunner! But sometimes, it can be easy to create a race schedule that doesn't truly align with our biggest interests, goals, or fulfillment in mind.

Your race schedule should be fun, exciting, and something that brings you a ton of fulfillment in your running life. And it should align with the goals or intentions that you have for yourself when it comes to participating in races.

So, in the spirit of heading into a brand new year, I share a process that you can use to craft a race schedule that perfectly fits your running goals, and one that will bring you tons of joy within both your training and your races.

This is a process I've been using over the past couple of years, and its been truly powerful for me throughout my journey. So, I wanted to share this with you in hopes that it will help you craft an amazing race schedule. I'm confident it will!

This year’s Cocodona 250 was absolutely epic. With a stacked field of some of the best runners in the nation, there was no doubt it was going to be an incredible display of endurance over the course of 250 miles. And today’s guest is the guy who came out on top to win the race in less than 60 hours!

Today, we’re chatting with Joe McConaughy, best known as “The Stringbean” in the ultrarunning community. Joe is not only an accomplished ultrarunner, but also an accomplished thru-hiker/fastpacker who has amassed FKTs on the Arizona Trail, Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Coast Trail and more.

On top of an amazing ultrarunning career, Joe also runs his own coaching business to help other aspiring runners to accomplish their biggest goals.

In this episode, Joe discusses his entire journey through Cocodona 250, the strategies he used to help him get through the low points in the race, and how he capitalized on his lead in the race to secure the sub-60 hour effort.

Every ultrarunner has a story. We all have that one race that totally changed our life. We all have those internal struggles that led us to want to continue to push ourselves. And we all have that inner desire to strive for bigger goals, while enjoying the rewards that come from each finish line.

And in this episode, I share my own story. As the Everyday Ultra Podcast grew, many of you have been asking to have someone interview me: so, that’s exactly what this is episode is.

Today, I pass off the interviewing role to Chris Ronzio, the Founder and CEO of Trainual, and Jonathan Ronzio, the CMO of Trainual, who are both the incredible leaders I work with at my day job at Trainual. These two amazing guys asked me some deep questions about my background, how I got into ultrarunner, my approach to training and life, and lessons that everyone can apply to be a better endurance athlete, every day.

This is my story. And I hope that there’s something to learn from my journey that will help you conquer your biggest challenges, while also creating the fulfilling life that you desire for yourself.

Training for an ultra requires more than just logging miles and completing workouts; it also requires recovering well, so you can perform your best. It requires you to pivot the plan when things arise in life to make sure you’re still reaching your goals. And it requires you to be intentional in the way you approach your training and races.

That’s what Jen Higgins did when she set out to run her first 50 Miler and 100K this past year. And all of these things allowed her to be the first place finisher at both of those races!

Jen Higgins is a mother, a mental health professional, and ultrarunner who has completed the 100K, 50 miler, and 50K distances

In this episode, Jen shares how she was able to optimize her training and recovery to perform well in her first 50+ mile races, how she pivoted her training when life got crazy, and how she approached her races to get the best results she could get.

Huge thank you to Jen for coming on the show!

How to Run for a Purpose and set Massive Goals with Aum Gandhi

Can running for a bigger cause than yourself make you a better athlete? Absolutely. And in fact, it will lead to a more fulfilling life. Our guest today, Aum Gandhi, proves that. Aum is a Merrell Trail Athlete, Ultrarunner, freelance writer, and contributing author to Run Tri Bike Magazine.

Recently, Aum completed the 72-hour race at Aravaipa Running’s Across the Years festival. And while that accomplishment alone is inspiring, he also raised over $2,500 for the Richstone Family Foundation along the journey. And in nearly every race he’s accomplished, he’s done so with a bigger cause in mind.

In this episode, Aum and I talk about why being a service-led runner can change your life for the better, his inspiring story, and how you can approach goal-setting when you’re on your endurance journey.

Whether its for 6 hours, 24 hours, or 72 hours (or more), fixed time ultras are unlike any other standard-distance race. With typically super repetitive courses, frequent aid stations, and racing against the clock, they have earned their right as one of the most brutal challenges if you're looking to push yourself to the extreme.

And today's guest is someone who has had tons of success (and fun) competing in fixed time ultras! Today, we're chatting with Rachel Entrekin, who is an endurance athlete based out of Southern California. She has tons of experience and solid results in fixed time ultras, FKTs, and standard distance ultras. Some of her results include winning the Across The Years 48 hour race, winning the Jackpot Ultras 24 hour race, nabbing FKTs on the Wonderland Trail, Rae Lakes Loop, and Trans-Catalina trail, and so many more!

In this episode, Rachel discusses her strategy for crushing fixed time ultras (while also having fun), what mental tricks she uses to help keep herself in the game when things get tough, and powerful lessons she's learned from life experiences that translate into her racing.

Huge thank you to Rachel for making this happen!

When we hear the word “sustainability”, we immediately think that word just has to do with taking care of the planet. But as a runner, it means so much more than that. It also means taking care of you and your community, all while supporting the planet that supports us in our running goals.

And in this episode, we’re joined by elite athletes Tina Muir and Zoë Rom who share practical advice on how to be a more sustainable runner in these three areas. That way, you can continue to run at your very best while also taking care of the planet along the way.

Tina and Zoë Rom are both elite runners with impressive resumes in the running world. And they are also authors of the new book: Becoming a Sustainable Runner: A Guide to Running for Life, Community, and Planet.

Tina is a former elite runner, and host of the Running for Real podcast. Since retiring from racing professionally, she approaches running in a way that sustains her physically, mentally, and emotionally, and has discovered that that means getting out on the trails for long distances. She ran her first ultra a few weeks ago, the Bryce Canyon 50 Mile, and finished first female and third overall. She also devotes herself to her other passion, environmentalism, and has worked with the United Nations on campaigns related to climate change and humanitarian affairs.

Zoë is an elite trail runner and award-winning journalist who specializes in science, environmental, and adventure journalism. Her ultras include first place finishes at the Crested Butte 100k and Athens Big Fork Trail Marathon, and two consecutive wins at the War Eagle 50k. Her work has appeared in Outside, Backpacker, Trail Runner, Women’s Running and Discover magazines, and she’s the writer, host, and producer of the DNF podcast.  

In this episode, Tina and Zoe share actionable steps on how to take care of your mind, body, and soul to make running more sustainable, how to give back to the running community to help lift it up, and ways to support the planet in your running lifestyle to help protect the planet.
