The Ultra Crewed Podcast

Ultrarunning had itself a week.

We start with Camille Herron, OnlyFans, accountability, athlete culture, and the increasingly blurry line between “empowerment” and just putting your ass on the internet for money.

Then we finally behave ourselves and talk about actual ultrarunning.

One of our coached athletes finishes the Georgia Jewel 100 on just three days of training per week—while still prioritizing his job, famil...

Doing hard things doesn’t automatically make you better at life.

This week on the Ultra Crewed Podcast, Jon and Becca recap the first Long Mile—a sunset-to-sunrise endurance experience built around movement, growth, community, and creating enough space for people to learn something about themselves without turning it into another race.

That leads into a bigger conversation: Is running 100 miles actually harder than everyd...

This week, we’re talking about everything from seasonal transitions, turkey encounters, questionable running apparel, and brutal summer heat to the bigger lessons ultra running keeps teaching us about adaptability, expectations, and community. We get into smarter hot-weather training, why unfamiliar trails and races can make you a better runner, and how learning to problem-solve matters just as much as stacking miles. We also...

Video - While recapping adventure day we somehow end up putting ultrarunning culture, social media, corporate race greed, personal growth, walking, relationships, and one extremely questionable waterfall decision on trial. We get into who we used to be, who we’ve worked our asses off to become, why being genuine matters more than collecting approval from strangers on the internet, and how integrity has become suspiciously har...

Apparently being afraid of the dark does not apply when the dark is inside a cave. We talk Murder Cave, river patrol, five headlamps, Fresca, and the kind of relationship support that involves quietly appearing out of the woods looking like a potential threat.

Then we get into Mark Dowdle winning Last Soul Ultra, Lap 87, competitive running, people losing their minds on the internet, and whether moving rocks off a course is helpful ...

This week, we start with poop chutes, oppressive Tennessee heat, horse flies, and the realization that sometimes your best simply is not good enough. Naturally, this becomes a conversation about running shoes, unsolicited advice, credibility, and why having the loudest opinion on the internet does not magically make you correct.

Jon did something Becca enjoys, which is usually how perfectly reasonable weekends become questionable decisions. What was sold as a mostly walkable adventure turned into crawling, loose rock, route-finding, a river, a large spider with dependents, and Jon reconsidering the meaning of words like “walking,” “accessible,” and possibly “marriage.”

Underneath all the complaints, though, the episode la...

The Ultra Crewed Podcast is back in a brand-new studio, complete with a beautiful new sign that is perfectly level on a 130-year-old wall that absolutely is not.

This week, Becca survives a “sporty” Kentucky cave trip featuring giant boreholes, cave-adapted crayfish, questionable ladders, fresh breakdown, a camping migraine, and somehow no aspirin. Jon contributes by cutting half the grass and proving, with an actual lev...

This week, the Murder Mile Studios accidentally become headquarters for the Big East Fork River Patrol.

Jon returns from a long drive to find three police cars in the yard, while Miss Jones explains an entirely reasonable series of events involving trespassers, fishing poles, outstanding warrants, teenage ATV diplomacy, private waterways, neighborhood donkeys, and the Silverado-based enforcement of personal accountability.

Eventually...

This week we’re covering everything from the sacred and highly specific rules of a Becca birthday to dump runs, bacon, roadside water hemlock, zebras, mushroom hunting, prosecco naps, and Jon successfully identifying a mushroom like a man who would now like that achievement entered into the permanent record. We also get into school, the absolute delight of having your own writing flagged as AI-generated, and the strange new r...
