| Epidsode 73 - Backyard Ultras part 2 with Laz | 22 Dec 2023 | 01:04:09 | |
Episode 73 was/is a big deal for me. The documentary, Barkleys, The Race that eats it's young, played a vital role in attracting me to ultra running. Gary Cantrell, aka Laz, became like a cult hero to me for coming up with such a challenging race where many years nobody finished. It took a couple more years before I figured out he had other races too. One in particular, Big's Backyard Ultra, is the main focus of this episode as we discuss the growing popularity of backyard format races, but we do cover other subjects. Gary is a recent inductee into the ultrarunning Hall of Fame. He is chock full of stories and statistics from past races. My only regret is that I couldn't get multiple hours to chat with him about all the things. You can bet I will be doing it again as soon as I come up with another good reason. Enjoy! | |||
| Back Yard Ultras Part 1 with Mike Melton | 18 Dec 2023 | 01:29:09 | |
This is the first of 4 episodes about the growing popularity of backyard ultras. I have a conversation with Mike Melton, owner of MCM Timing. He is not only the best race timer in the business, he has been involved in every single Big's Backyard Ultra. Big's was the original, and now there are over 400 backyard races in over 70 countries. | |||
| Episode 71 - Kelly O Rocks! | 04 Dec 2023 | 01:32:01 | |
Episode 71 features my conversation with Kelly Odell. She is the first guest that I've had on the show that actually lives with a previous guest. She's also the first guest on the show that would probably not win a 100 mile race against every other inhabitant of her home and especially a backyard format. LOL. With all that said, though, Kelly is quite the accomplished ultra-runner in her own right. She's finished Badwater 135 and several other 100 milers including a sub 24 hour. One of the reasons I invited her on the show was for a DNF though. She has an interesting DNF story for sure. Enjoy! | |||
| Episode 70 - Weak Things Break with Gus Karagrozis | 02 Dec 2023 | 01:21:16 | |
Enjoy a summertime chat with New York's own Gus Karagrozis. As a newbie to the ultra-running scene, Gus showed up down at the very tough Immolation 24 hour race down in Jupiter, Florida in late July and came out of nowhere as the last seed to place second. He surprised everyone but himself and his coach. He's a fun guy to chat with as well as his partner and crew chief, Alanna. Hope you enjoy! | |||
| Episode 69 - Lauren Runs for Grilled Cheese | 26 Nov 2023 | 01:39:53 | |
Episode 69 features a chat with Lauren Jones from Atlanta, GA. She's a pediatric nurse anesthetist and a bada$$ ultrarunner. Lauren recently won the No Business 100 up in Tennessee and Kentucky. She also took 2nd at Cocodona 250 last year and 18th female at Western States this year. She is such a soft spoken person to be such a bada$$, and so fun to chat with! I think you'll enjoy! | |||
| Episode 68 - Revolution Running's Kevin and Annie Randolph | 22 Nov 2023 | 01:22:57 | |
This episode features an awesome chat with 1/2 of Revolution Running, Kevin and Annie Randolph. Revolution Running are race directors of many different formats of races and different venues. They have a track timed race - The Stinger All Comers Track race, they have 5k's paved and trail all the way up to 100 miler trail with other distances in between. Kevin and Annie are really cool, down to earth people with an awesome community of loyal participants in their many races. They are also accomplished runners themselves. Annie is a cancer survivor and is not letting that interfere with her pursuit of her goals. I think you'll enjoy getting to know this amazing couple. | |||
| Don't Take the Deal With Don Reichelt | 11 Nov 2023 | 01:32:18 | |
Episode 67 features my chat with Don Reichelt. He is a world record holder with three different categories on the manually powered treadmill. 12 hours, 24 hours, and 100 miles. He's also a smart guy, witty, super-fast, and just a great conversation. We talk about all things ultra running and specifically the 100 mile and 24-hour disciplines. He's finished epic challenges like Cocodona 250, Leadman, Bighorn 100 and several others. I also chat with coach Dawn Lisenby about her client Kelley Lomax in the #100mileswithmarty project. I think you'll enjoy this episode. I actually edited it twice. (long story) | |||
| Episode 66 - Mandie Holmes | 26 Oct 2023 | 01:27:22 | |
In episode 66, I talk to another elite athlete from the west coast, Mandie Holmes. I met Mandie this year at the Squirrels Nut Butter tent at Western States. She was there for her 4th running of the most awesome 100 on the planet. She's a fellow Squirrel, a Rabbit Elite, and y'all know I am a huge Rabbit fan. She's also the 3rd member of the USA 24 hour world championship team that I have spoken to. Mandie has lots of great stories and has a wealth of knowledge about west coast ultras. Just an absolute joy to talk with. I hope you enjoy. | |||
| Episode 65 - Run Fastah | 22 Oct 2023 | 01:12:25 | |
In this episode, I have decided to throw all of my podcasting and soliciting energy into making a pitch for our USA 24 hour world championship team. I interview super speedy ultra runner, Scott Traer, aka @runfastah. He is a member of the 24 hour team and has been very outspoken about the injustice of the athletes having to cover almost all their expenses at the world championships. In the first 15 minutes or so, I have a visit from coach Chris Twiggs to discuss his role in the 100 Miles With Marty Project and then jump right into the interview with Scott. I hope it makes you mad. Please help support these members of our ultra-running family! Sign the petition! Please tell everyone you know. Get them to sign and share.

Can't wait. | |||
| Episode 61 - David Castro | 18 Sep 2023 | 01:25:54 | |
This is a feel - good comeback story in several ways. My friend David Castro dealt with mental health issues in his early adulthood like so many of us, and ended up homeless, unemployed, and unemployable. But with a perserverance that he didn't even know he had, David fought his way back to being a productive member of society and then took up ultra running. This year David was one of only 12 people to complete the Badwater Ultra Cup, completing all 3 Badwater races. This was also a comeback in itself after David had a DNF at BW 135 in 2022. Check out David's Project 368 on Youtube. See link below. | |||
| Episode 60 - Under Armour Trans Rockies Run | 10 Sep 2023 | 01:32:52 | |
In episode 60, we depart from the typical interview format to discuss an awesome stage race. It's the Under Armour Trans Rockies Run. I had the privilege to have my friends Amy and Lulu to cover the runner's and volunteer's perspective, and Houda and Aaron covered the race official's perspective as the President of the company and operations/RD. I was so excited about the race after our talk, that I registered within 10 minutes of signing off the meeting. It is 11 months away and already half full.

Mike McKnight aka @thelowcarbrunner is a professional ultra runner and coach, a fellow squirrel, husband and father, and just an all-around good dude. He seems to excel in the longer races, like 200 mile plus. In this episode we discuss hi amazing comeback at Cocodona this year. Dude was 30+ miles and 8 hours behind the leaders when he got to Whiskey Row which is mile 80ish. I'll let him tell you what happened next. Good stuff.

He is an ultra-running coach with great experience and expertise in sweat testing technology and applying that to hot weather running. His record speaks for itself with quality finishes in some of the hottest races on the planet including Badwater and the Keys. Check it out and check out his coaching site. | |||
| Episode 57 - Indefatigable - Taz Shepherd and her Badwater 135 crew (2/3) | 27 Aug 2023 | 01:39:59 | |
In this episode I talk to Taz Shepherd from Key West, Florida and 2/3 of her amazing crew. She completed her 1st ever Badwater 135 with the help of that crew including JD McGee and Mark Cudak. She also had Lisa Graft on her crew but she had to work and missed the recording of the podcast. We talk Taz's running history, getting selected for Badwater, training, selecting a crew, and execution of a great plan like a well-oiled machine. I really enjoyed and learned a lot. | |||
| Episode 56 - Puke and Rally with Matt Clapper and Josh Sloan | 20 Aug 2023 | 01:48:21 | |
Matt Clapper is a really nice guy. A husband a father, friend. He came on my radar when I was following him and Mike Alberts during their Across Florida 200 adventure. They crushed it and set a course record. I had the opportunity to witness Matt absolutely crush The Trident Immolation 24 hour race. This is not your average 24 hour loop race. Out of 25 starters, 5 people finished and they were all warriors. Matt won by over an hour cumulative time. He stayed strong and consistent for the whole race and he will tell you he couldn't have done it without Josh Sloan, who gave a clinic on crewing a runner for a loop type race. I learned so much about race specific training and unlocking levels. | |||
| Episode 55 - Aaron Hale | 13 Aug 2023 | 01:53:37 | |
Aaron Hale is one of the most inspirational humans I have ever spoken with. He lost his sight and eventually his hearing while serving our country doing Explosive Ordinance Disposal in Afghanistan. After healing up somewhat, he decided to take control of his life. Not sit around and be depressed with his circumstances. He took up running, climbed mountains, started an investment company, a fudge company, and the list goes on. Aaron just crushed the Badwater 135 back in July and he shares his story of the darkest day of his life literally, his comeback, setbacks and more comebacks. This guy is a real American hero and I was honored to chat with him. Check it out! | |||

Enjoy my chat with Zach and his mom Ranna as they discuss the journey to States and beyond. He is such a mentally tough and determined athlete. I believe he will go far in the ultra world. LOL Pun intended. | |||

Join me for a personal journal of the highs and lows of 100 miler training with someone who is 60 years old and not in 100 miler shape. Who am I kidding, I'm not even in half marathon shape, but I am mentally strong, believe in commitment and hard work, and relentless forward progress, so let's see what happens. Regular interviews will still be coming. I was considering doing a video blog of my journey, but let's face it. I have a face for audio. Peace and love my friends!

On this episode, the amazing Ashley Paulson joins me to talk all things running.

| Episode 48 - Jenn St. Amand - Final Golden Hour Finisher at 2023 Western States | 11 Jul 2023 | 01:43:57 | |
Wow! This one was a good one for me. I just love everything about the Western States Endurance Run. The Golden Hour is probably the greatest hour in ultra-running because of so many things. All the winners a podium finishers are back to the track, sometimes 12 or more hours after their finish along with many spectators cheering on the runners in the final hour before the 30 hour cutoff. The energy is palpable! Jenn does not usually chase cutoffs. She's typically a sub 20 hour finisher for most of her 9 other 100 mile races, even with a win or two, but June 24/25 was just not her day for being fast. She had some issues that slowed her down but she got in under the wire and earned that buckle. She's gotten more attention from this from any previous victory. She is such a happy and positive person! I think you'll enjoy. | |||

| Episode 46 - Harvey Lewis | 04 Jul 2023 | 01:13:04 | |
Join me as I chat with super nice human and incredible ultra-runner Harvey Lewis. He was such a joy to talk to always trying to flip the conversation to hear my story instead of share his. What a nice guy! Harvey's record speaks for itself with wins at Big's Backyard, Badwater, and many other ultra races. He has run Barkleys twice, (no wins there yet :) ) and seems to be quite proficient on roads and trails, which is rare. I hope you enjoy!! | |||
| Episode 45 - Bob Hearn- Winner Last Annual Heart of the South Race | 02 Jul 2023 | 01:18:52 | |
Bob Hearn - super smart ultra-runner and recent winner by more than a day of The Heart of The South 350 mile race, joins me for a great chat about ultra-ultra distance races. (Is that a term?) Until last lear, I thought Cocodona was the longest race, but I was just learning. There's a whole other spectrum of longer distances, from 6 days on a track to journey type point to point runs. "A vacation without a car". Bob has a PHD in Computer Science from MIT, so he's pretty smart, and he has won numerous ultras around the world, so he is pretty fast and durable as well. He discusses his story from his first 10k to his recent win at HOTS. I think you will enjoy his perspective and help me celebrate because episode 45 marks the 1 year anniversary of Miles With Marty!! Thank you so much for your support. I hope you like the little change in format! LMK. | |||
