Josh Law (from 5 episodes ago) started running and so did some of his siblings. Naturally, Dianna as their mom didn’t want to miss out on all the fun! She showed up as support to a few of her kids’ 5k races, and her daughter asked her if she wanted to run too. She agreed, and the next 5k Dianna, Steve, and all of her kids ran it together. What a special event! After that she was hooked, and even felt like God was pushing her to keep running. Steve, Dianna’s husband, was a bit slower to get hooked. But Steve was all about pushing himself and the adventure of running. After he did rim-to-rim for his 65th birthday with his son and daughter, he was also hooked on endurance running. Listen to today’s episode about how Josh invited Dianna and Steve to run their first ultra and the story of their first 50k ultramarathon.

Diarra is and has always been a sporty dude. Diarra grew up running short-distance track, basketball, volleyball… pretty much everything but soccer and wrestling! And as he progressed into his early adulthood he kept playing basketball with his buddies, until the fateful day he came down from a rebound and ruptured his achilles tendon. Devastated, Diarra wondered if he’d ever be able to compete athletically again. After Diarra had recovered from this injury, his boss invited him to participate in a triathlon rather than go back to basketball. Diarra agreed and did his first triathlon, which lead him to discover the addictive and joyous world of trail running. Tune in today to hear about Diarra’s first 50k and 50-mile ultramarathons in southern Utah and the lessons he’s learned on the way.

Why do we sign up for ultramarathons? Well, the actually reason is rarely linear and involves several little knudges. Eric’s first knudge was when he heard the story of a guy at work that had run the Leadville 100. He was amazed that someone could do something so seemingly impossible. Then he watched a Netflix documentary of a lady eating cheeseburgers and a fanny pack full of bacon to fuel during an FKT (fastest known time). That got Eric running. Then the last straw. Eric was walking towards the end of his first marathon and a guy passing him said “If you like walking so much, you should do an ultramarathon.” Eric took the challenge, and signed up for is first ultramarathon. Listen to today’s episode to hear in Eric’s own words how he got into running, the story of his first 50k ultramarathon, AND the story of Eric’s first 100 mile ultramarathon that he accomplished in the same year!

Other topics include running to lose weight, training for an ultramarathon, strength training for ultramarathons, turning your commute into training, being prepared with the right gear, the power of coaches, the power of the mind during an ultramarathon, ultramarathons as a metaphor for life, and much more.
