Sam Harvey, Breaking Boundaries: The Journey to 101 and why a little progress each day adds up to massive results. Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 39! In this exciting installment, I had the privilege of sitting down with Sam Harvey, an extraordinary athlete who recently accomplished an astonishing feat of endurance. Sam completed 101 loops at the Dead Cow Gully Back Yard Ultra Marathon, covering a staggering 676.7 kilometers of virtually non-stop running, ultimately assisting in setting a world record of 102 loops. Notably, he followed up this incredible achievement with another remarkable feat just a week later, conquering 43 loops (288.1 kilometers) and clinching victory at the Krayzie Mid Winter BYU.

This episode provides a unique opportunity to gain insights into the sheer determination and resilience required to accomplish such extraordinary challenges. We also delve into Sam's life journey, from battling mental health struggles to navigating the ups and downs of everyday life, including some rather interesting car troubles.

I'm confident that you'll find tremendous value in this week's episode, just as I did. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the conversation!

Kent Mullins: The 100mile mindset, it's more than training. Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

In this concise episode, we explore a profound concept applicable to all aspects of life—the 100-mile mindset. This mindset isn't solely about training on trails or pavement; rather, it encompasses how we approach our day-to-day existence. It revolves around the mental and strategic approach of dissecting life events or goals into manageable segments, often measured in 100-mile increments. This powerful mindset empowers individuals to maintain unwavering focus, effectively manage their energy, and sustain motivation throughout their unique experiences.

Remember, the 100-mile mindset can be a transformative tool in your journey toward personal growth and achievement, no matter what challenges you face.

On this weeks episode I sit down with race director Timothy Walsh who is the founder of the Dead Cow Gully Backyard Ultramarathon. For those who don't know, this race consists of a 6.7km loop completed every hour on the hour until the last man standing.

Jason Hardrath: Car crash survivor to Washington's 100 highest peaks in 50 days and how to overcome life's curveballs. Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Episode 29 of the pod and boy, oh boy was this just wisdom bomb after wisdom bomb! So many nuggets of wisdom from the man himself Jason Hardrath.

A bit of housekeeping, I did have some audio issues within and after this episode so please bare with me as the audio may be a little bit off.

Jason is a serial adventure, endurance athlete and teacher. In 2015 Jason was ejected from his car and suffered 9 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a shattered shoulder and contusions throughout his internal organs and his right knee was damaged. The crash tore the anterior cruciate ligament, known as the ACL, which keeps the knee from sliding forward and back, and the lateral collateral ligament, known as the LCL, which keeps the knee from sliding inward.

This would have ended anyone's sporting career but not Jason's. Throughout our conversation, you will hear him talk the talk but also walk the walk. From completing 119 FKT's, a number of endurance runs and climbing up Washington's highest peaks in 50days he paves the way for what is truly possible after such a traumatic event. I learnt a lot from this man and a lot of what he said landed true and close to my heart.
