UTMB Week 2024 • Is Trail Running ready for super fandom? UTMB doubled prize money; is that enough? Bad Runners Take.26 Aug 202401:00:28

Happy UTMB week.

@wolffrunner joins me on Bad Runners take to talk UTMB.

Forget about the drama surrounding UTMB over the last year for a week (if not forever). If you don't like the juggernaut of UTMB, disregard them.

But don't disregard the 10,000 people running in the mountains around Mont Blanc. This week we celebrate the human spirit taking them from point A to point B, the French culture that surrounds it, and the Heart of Trail Running moving like an avalanche as the running world watches runners take care of business in French/Italian/Swiss Alps.

Brian and I go into topics and recall moments you won't hear anywhere else this year.

  1. Favorite UTMB moments
  2. Is trail running ready for super fandom?
  3. UTMB doubled its prize money. Is that enough?
  4. 2024 picks

A flow state not available to trail runners with Jacob Puzey22 Aug 202400:57:39

I asked the Borderlands audience who I should talk to about my fascination with running a road ultra. The number one suggestion was Jacob Puzey.

After this conversation I understand why.

He brings the perfect insight as a decorated road and trail runner, former coach and trail race director. There's a flow state in running not available to trail runners that comes with repetitive and predictable terrain.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Bad Runner's Take: Is the trail running too young to be a spectator sport? Is a profitable volunteer-ran race the way to go?23 Jul 202400:15:43

This week on a bad runners take:

Big Trail Running • it’s a consolidation of attention around a few names and events but is trail running to new as a spectators sport to do it to this scale?

Volunteer Labor • there’s lots of money to be made in trail running events. Are RDs dependent on volunteer labor? It’s the industry standard but is it ok for a for profit entity to rely on volunteer labor?

Leadville • it exists in its own world and plays by its own rules. And I’m excited for it.

the life of PATH Projects with co-founders Brian and Scott15 Jul 202401:22:32

PATH Projects started in 2017 to solve a problem: running shorts. They were mostly designed by shoe companies who are looking to increase average transaction sizes when runners are buying shoes.

In this episode we explore Scott Bailey and Brian Rather's history as founders of  @pathprojects . Scott start SPLIT, Kr3w, and Supra Footwear. Brian started a denim company acquired by Huckberry and went on to develop inhouse brands for Huckberry and others.

The amount of experience here is staggering and since their relaunch in 2023, they're making waves in trail running.

Japanese take on American Trail, 100 Miles 100 Times, Caveman Instincts08 Jul 202400:53:17

Tomokazu Ihara is a Japanese Ultratrail runner by way of Tokyo going for 100 100 mile finishes. He first came on my radar after interviewing the RDs of Devils Gulch in Washington. He ran it last year and was one of three finishers in what was a very hot year at DG.

Tomo offers his story and wisdom in this interview and I'm stoked for you to hear it.

What do Race Directors do? The Jonas Vingagaard of Trail. The Spirit of Running transcends Borders.19 Aug 202400:53:34

In this episode we explore a Term of Endurance: Race Director. Do we really understand what these RDs put themselves through to put on the local and regional races? They're not full time. It's a massive lift.

I had the good fortune to sit with two local Copenhagen legends, Rasmus and Robin, to talk Danish running and compare Europe running to American running. As much as they're different, the spirit of running transcends politics and borders.

The interview with Robin and Rasmus begins at 14:36.

Only Three Finishers at Devil's Gulch 10020 Jun 202400:49:44

Devil's Gulch has 3 distances - 1/2 Marathon, 50 Miles, + 100 Miles. In a hot year (2023) DG had only three finishers out of 21 starters.

The course lives up to its name and belongs in the discussion with some of the other big mountain ultras like Wasatch or High Lonesome. 24,000' feet of gain.

It's a beast. It's a devil.

A Heritage American Ultra Race | Palo Duro Trail Run10 Jun 202400:41:16

I wasn't an ultra runner until I left West Texas at the age of 19. I am really excited about this episode because I get to think about West Texas through the eyes of one of the older ultras in the country - Palo Duro Trail Run.

In this episode we talk about the history of Palo Duro Trail Run, the region in general, and what makes it beautiful.

This is one of the few ultras from the season I knew I wanted to run before recording a conversation about it. I look forward to toeing the line in Palo Duro Canyon someday to run this race.

Emma's Race Looked Over at Mile 74, She Finished28 May 202400:49:32

Wow, Emma is the embodyment of everything I love about ultratrail running and this story is the epitome of it. Essentially revived from what looked like death or close to it, to a killer second-to-DFL at Wasatch 100 2022.

I was at Ant Knolls and took the photo of her laying on the ground. Fortunatley, you can't DNF at Ant Knoll. She got up, kept going, pushed harder to be the cutoff and got the buckle.

Is there room for more trail runners? with Randi Zuckerberg15 Aug 202400:51:13

Randi Zuckerberg is new the sport of ultratrail. If you're an old grumpy get-off-my-lawn trail runner you will hate this conversation because Randi is an enthusiastic evangelist for the sport of trail running.

She left the road for trail running about a year ago and dove in head first.

The Surprising Beauty of the No Business 100 Miler20 May 202400:47:07

The No Business 100 is a beast. As I explore races outside of the Western United States I love finding these large communities of ultra runners who love their races. No Business 100 is 14,500' of gain across 102 miles in a section of forest about 60 miles from the Barkley Marathons. Whew.

MxPx frontman on Endurance + Life | Mike Herrera27 Mar 202401:00:32

Mike Herrera (of MxPx) has been on more up-mountain grinds with me than anyone else. I have a punk rock mix that helps me feel like a badass when pushing up the opening climb of Wasatch 100 or the big wall in the Virgin Desert. Inside my head I'm a beast externally I'm moving at like a 40 minute mile pace. Still punk rock.

We talked about endurance and pushing through obstacles of all kinds.

Is Borderlands Improving Trail Running? What is Believe in the Run doing at Ultratrail Events?08 Aug 202400:36:43

What is Borderlands Trail Running? It's not obvious, I know. Bottom line, I love the trail running industry and want to grow it because I genuinely believe the world will be a better place.

In this episode I explain why Borderlands exists, what its doing, and where its going.

We review the mission, the manifesto, and all the ways I'm trying to send the mission into the ultratrail world.

I bring a new segment called '3 Things' where tell you about three things I love. This will almost always be running but sometimes it may go beyond..

Noted in the episode:

Satisfy x Hoka

Thomas Neuberger + Believe in the Run
