Charlie Lawrence just set a new World Record for the 50 mile distance at the Tunnel Hill race in Illinois. Running a mind blowing 4:48:21, and he never doubted that he could do it.

Lauren Jones: Redemption at the No Business 100 Nov 17, 2023

Show notes

When Lauren Jones ran the No Business 100 in 2022 she was feeling fantastic, until a wrong step in the middle of the race caused an injury that had Lauren unsure if she would ever be able to run ultras again. That injury lead to a year of uncertainty, depression, and then a glimmer of hope that would have Lauren back on the trails.

Not phased by the course that nearly took the sport away from her, Lauren lined up at the No Business 100 again this year, and found redemption in the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky.

Show notes

Reid Burrows and I have a very open chat about mental illness and trail running. Having both battled it through our lives we get real about living with it and ways we have found to make it better. We also talk about making sure we have balance in life and how to make sure we don't allow our whole identity to be defined by our hobbies.

I want to thank Reid for being so open during this chat, and the numerous laughs we share along the way.

John Lacroix: Saving Ultra Running Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

"Sherpa" John Lacroix is an ultra runner, Race Director, podcast and so much more. His Human Potential Running Series races are regarded by many as some of the best events in the West. He is also a man with strong opinions, and that's why I love him.

He joins for a no holds barred discussion about the recent controversy surrounding Ironman/UTMB, how he saw it coming years ago, and if we can truly stop the sport from being taken over by corporate interest that see more profits and less people. This is a fun chat, and I think you will really enjoy the laughs and what John has to say.
