Run The Riot Podcast

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 P...

Shaun Barnes is a friend who we’ve had on the podcast a couple of times before. He’s been doing big stuff!  If you remember, we had him and his coach on to talk about his experience doing the Triple Crown of 200s.  Then, we had him on to catch up and talk about the Iditarod Trail Invitational which he ended up not finishing, but he learned a ton!  This time, we get to discuss his experience this year running the ITI which resulted ...

I had a blast getting to know Chase and Casey Hammond.  I love our ultra community!  They are from northwest Kansas and really enjoy being involved in the Ultra community.  Chase and I both ran the Moab 240 in 2020.  He finished and I didn’t.  We had fun comparing notes and chatting about the process of running 200 mile races.  Chase will be doing the Cocodona 250 this year. He and Casey also direct races in their area and have add...

Dr. Amy Novotny hated running.  Until she didn’t!  After developing a love for the marathon, she discovered her love for the trails.  She has since run 40+ marathons, an Ironman, and 10 ultramarathons (two 100 milers).  She is the founder of the PABR institute where she helps people as a breathing and pain specialist.  We had a great conversation about the nervous system and how calming or resetting it can provide many benefits...

This was such a fun episode with Arlen Glick!  Arlen has been on a tear!  Since our last interview, he’s won the Mohican 100, Burning River, Javelina Jundred, and 1st Male at Jackpot.  He’s so fast!  He also dipped his toe into a 24 hour race at Desert Solstice and we’ll chat about the lessons he learned there.  We cover his racing, his faith, and so many fun topics!  Don’t miss this episode!
