In this episode, I had the pleasure of catching up with Nick Fowler for the third time. Now, you might remember Nick as the guy who conquered the Self-Supported Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Pacific Northwest Trail and the Ozark Trail in our previous chats. Back then, he was dealing with some pesky ankle injuries but was determinedly preparing for a shot at the Self-Supported FKT on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It's been a fant...

In this episode of the Run the Riot Podcast, I had an amazing chat with Kayla Straub, the beast of Kansas!. Kayla's journey into running is pretty incredible. She didn't start long ago, but when she did, she dove in headfirst. Her first ultramarathon was the extremely hot and exposed Honey Badger 100 in June 2020. She snagged second place right out of the gate! But that's just the beginning of her story. In 2021, she went back to t...

If you run trails around Arkansas, you probably know who Wesley Hunt is.  Wesley is a beast of a runner and an all-around great guy.  He’s run Arkansas Traveller 100 five times and won it 4 of those times - placing 2nd on his first outing.  Earlier this year, he won the LOViT 100 and plans to return to Traveller this year after a 5-year break.   I love his outlook on embracing the emotions that come out during a race.  We get into ...

Bryan Gillette started doing epic things at an early age. At 20 years old, he rode his bike across the US. Then he got into ultrarunning and after running other distances, completed the Tahoe 200.   He took his experience on the trail and then interviewed 100 leaders (CEOs, CXOs, CIOs, CHROs, CFOs, founders, and ultra-distance athletes) to see how they take really big ideas across the finish line. He then penned the book, EPIC Perf...

I got to sit down in person again with Nick Fowler. Nick had finished the Self-Supported FKT on the Pacific Northwest Trail when we spoke last. Since then, he was able to get the Self-Supported Fastest Known Time on the Ozark Trail! He's dealt with ankle injuries, but is training up for a stab at the PCT Self-Supported FKT! It's been fun watching his journey and hearing how he's learned and grown as a runner, hiker, and person. You...

Join me as we have a great conversation with Devin Nelson.  He’s a family man who discovered there was something special in pushing his body to do hard things.  After discovering and racing Tough Mudder races he found himself running long distances on the trails.  Then, he was signing up to run challenging ultramarathons!  We have great discussions about training with a family, DNFs, redemption, mindset, and more! http://www.therio...
