July 20, 2020 • 66 mins
Talking with Rachel Belmont is an absolute pleasure. Her journey through the sport of running has not been an easy one. There have been injuries, set backs, depression, and many shifts of goals along the way. Now, she is an avid runner, but at one time, she never thought she would be able to run again. Recently, she ran 100 miles on a the treadmill in order to raise money for a company that she loves supporting. This episode is...

352 - Amazing Journeys - Cam Mayfield

July 2, 2020 • 82 mins
I was humble when I was able to sit down with Cam Mayfield for a little bit and discuss her journey through endurance events. It’s been an amazing journey for her. Completing Western States (@wser) a twice and bettering her time by over an hour isn’t easy. But she managed to not only do this, but also run a fast race at the Olympic trials this year.

351 - Philly Four Corners - Gagz

June 29, 2020 • 65 mins
I sat down and chatted with Michael “Gagz” about his recent run around the city of Philadelphia. He has named this run the Philly Four Corners. To say he loves the city is an understatement. I would say he is an avid fan of the city in many ways. He literally ran around the entire city in one single run. We chat about what this was like from the planning to hitting the save button. Thank you for sharing your journey with me Ga...

You may have heard about his world records, his son, or even something that he was a part of that millions around the world watched. When Dave and his Coach Travis had to scratch the idea of his goal of a run across Canada, they shifted their perspective to make something epic. In a time when the world of endurance racing needed a deep breath and something for hope, they created a virtual event. In this episode, I talk with Dave...

It’s always a joy to chat with Cody and catch up. Ever since I chatted with him years ago after his win at IRONMAN© Mont Tremblant, I have been a huge fan of how transparent, polite, and respected he is by the community of endurance athletes. This is a fun conversation, we talk about motivation, anxiety, and what it was like to race the last race on earth, Campeche 70.3. Thanks Cody for the chat.

339 - Marine Corps Marathon - Brittany Charboneau

March 31, 2020 • 80 mins
Going into the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon, Brittany Charboneau was primed and ready to break the almost 20-year course record set back in 1990. She felt like nothing could rattle her after she had her best training season yet thanks to incorporating weekly creative themes, art and trail running. A little rain can't ruin a parade, but a lot of rain can certainly have an effect on attempting a course record. This year's race was an e...

Now on to the race. From Chemical burns in the pool to an ever lasting “home stretch” to the lucky egg, the swim is nothing to joke about. She is thankful to have friends at debour wetsuits for helping her with a wetsuit. After so long in the pool, she began to get cold. One nap and 53 hours later she was done with the swim and her T1 Time was nearly 12 hours!!! She said she ...
