Cultra Trail Running – Details, episodes & analysis

Oh, snap what's good fam? You got a fully assembled CULTRA news team tonight. Art put the call out, was like “news team assemble” and we were like oh shit who are we fighting? Well, we’re fighting boredom, and this is a 112% Grade A Bonafide Fresh Jackass episode where we go all in on the Patreons as well. We touch on some fairy smut, Leadville and Ann Trason’s domination at said event, all of our Homies that went and did Twisted Branch 100k over in NY, we do a deep dive on shitty weather, concerts, joining a cult, childhood myths, the emergence of Pickleball, and eating high calorie foods like DONUTS while we run… damn, it’s a good show.

What does it take to run 100 miles 100 times? How about doing this 300 times? Ed Eddinghausen aka "The Jester" has run distances of 100 miles nearly 300 times and is seeking to break the record for the most 100 mile runs completed in one year.  Many of us seek to work out our personal issues as we run. Some fight this battle internally and others seek to make a connection with fellow runners as our defenses are stripped away.  The Jester shares his practice of helping others overcome obstacles during his runs as a mutually beneficial way of life that improves everyone’s state of mind and gets us all closer to the finish line.

This episode has everything but Jimmy Mac! We give a professional AF jackassessment  of UTMB, or was it UTMP? Cultra Bot gets feisty with the Crew.  Then we give tips for how to get to Aspen via Leadville as part of a workaround if Glenwood Canyon shits the bed, and shout out Harvey Lewis.  Ultra walker Andy Cable has completed one of the most beautiful projects, running at least 5 miles in every one of Connecticut’s 169 towns, and connects them into a single connected maze! Phred cross examines AFB about what it was like to run every Blue Blaze Trail in CT. We preview the Dumbass Dice Challenge, talk some Nipmuck Alpaca Llama love aid stations, and even preview early leaf catching season. Have you read Amy Mower’s book Run To Save Your Life: A Compilation of Poetry and Short Stories by Runners

But this all is just a warmup for AFB’s review of the $35 Nevo Rhino Hydration Pack AKA: Ultimate Wrong Direction.  Do we really need to spend more than $100 for a hydration pack? Tune in to find out.

Eastern States 100 is some graduate level shit, and eats people up with its elevation, and tough AF tecnical BS. What happens when life gets in the way and you toe the line and your not fully trained? Bessic shares his experience at this race and tells the story of his grind.  He also gives a masterful reading of the Patreons. Don miss this.

We got nothing folks, just mailing this one in. I mean it's good if you want to hear 100% pure uncut jackassing but if you want NEW spicy ultra content, then step off fam. No we do got some dank beta nuggets tho- a few Zen hot takes from Becky (channelling Amy Mower Power), 100-mile wisdom from Phred, Jimmy's "shitty" stories and Art's tales of woe and Desitin.

First up we Air the Grievances (aka the difficulties we all encountered), and seriously it was quite a btich fest, ngl. Actually we sound mega STONED tbh. And we are in a car. First CULTRA recorded in a car, it was stupid AF y'all. But really funny. Really funny. We do not stay on topic, Jimmy starts to get annoyed at Art and Becky and just about shits his little panties. Basically we recount every little thing we did wrong. Fuck. Then we hear from a solo Phat Phreddie as he recounts his amazing experience.

Tim Hardy hails from Marietta, NY and has an impressive resume of very long races. His background in Army Ranger training has made him certified "tough as fuck" but most importantly his mental approach is what sets him apart. Read more from Tim's Blog 

Abby McCarthy is also from New York and she is a very smart runner- hear how she eats "walking ramen", how she is "a Honda Civic with a governor on it" and "takes dirt naps in graveyards". She's basically built for Vol State- and sadly she could not finish Wordle the day after finishing.

Finally, our dude Oak Miller- projectile vomiting like a champ during Vol State will hopefully be a new core memory from our guy from North Carolina. Desitin for a sun rash, Hunt Brother's Pizza (worst pizza ever?) and no low points (haha no wait, Bench of Despair?)
