| Episode 164 - Manu Vilaseca, Triple Crown Champion | 27 Oct 2025 | 01:30:33 | |
I've been trying to connect with Manuela Vilaseca since before the Triple Crown started this year, but when Moab 240 was over and she was crowned the champ and new record holder, it seemed like it was obviously time. The 6 hour time difference took some planning, but we made it happen and I am so glad we did.

| Miles With Marty Miniseries - My Journey to Festivus 100 - episode 3 | 05 Oct 2025 | 00:15:11 | |
Hey friends. This is starting to feel a little self-serving and cheesy. I will probably not do another episode until I can line up an awesome guest to give some tips on dealing with the issues I have been facing. I'm gonna try and line up Tonya to discuss aches and pains and weakness identification, Amy for mindset, and hopefully a veteran at 100 mile training for overall experience lessons.

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!

| Episode 155 - Mount to Coast Thrives in Death Valley! | 24 Jul 2025 | 01:28:13 | |
Mount to Coast is quickly establishing its place in the sport of ultra running! They have been in the United States for over a year now and are becoming very popular. This year in particular the company is getting more involved sponsoring races and developing more shoes to cater to the different aspects of ultra running. They recruited and signed a team of elite athletes with character and they are doing great things. Mount to Coast became a major sponsor of Badwater 135, and had several team members selected in the race. They hired a highly decorated ultra-running filmmaker to make a documentary following the team and the shoes. I got the opportunity to chat with 4 of the main characters. Meg Eckert, Viktoria Brown, Sierra Degroff, and Kaylee Frederick. They all earned the buckle. Enjoy my chat with four badass ladies of ultra and proud representatives of Mount to Coast. @_megeckert @viktoriabrownathlete @sdegroff @frederick.kaylee Mount to Coast | For runners who transcend distance.

He takes the time and learns the stories of the people he meets and the places he goes, and he's just a natural at sharing them. The only editing I have to do in my talks with him are my booboos. He helps me wrap my head around the lottery system, course conditions, history, and of course we discuss some favorites and Miles With Marty alums.

Luke Vidal and Nicole Kay is a runner's love story made in heaven....or Ft. Myers. They are one of the nicest and most enthusiastic running couples you will ever meet. I think I formally met them at Trident last year, but had been at a few races that they were at before that. Their stories are quite interesting and entertaining. I truly enjoy getting to know these incredible humans of our Ultrarunning community.

I first heard Thierry Guillot's name when he got 5th place at Long Haul 100 this year in 17:57:26 at 56 years old. This was a 50ish minute PR for him, but don't be fooled by the flat race time. This dude has done some tough ones all over the world including a recent finish at Cruel Jewel and Canyons. He's from Miami by way of France and he's a fast marathoner as well. Enjoy!

Rick Albanese is a guy I met online back in the early Spring this year when he reached out with questions about the Chief Ladiga 100. After he finished the race, I learned it was his comeback race after beating cancer. I love a good comeback story, so I asked him to share it with you. With races of 26.2 or longer in 40 states so far, he has plenty of stories. Enjoy!

Just absolutely grateful to be there and it showed in the way she carried herself. It was a real treat to chat with Emily and hear her story. Growing up in Zimbabwe and coming over to America with no guarantees but working her way into being a professional athlete and coach.

James Ebert is a friend that I found in my preparation for Southern States 200. He won the inaugural event in just over 48 hours, and I was hoping to get some tips from him to help me (a much slower guy) be able to complete the race. It ended up not happening for me because of injury, but I've been able to chat with him a few times now. James is no stranger to Florida races either, having done Death at Dupuis twice, Across Florida 200, and taking 2nd place overall this year at Long Haul 100. He also went back to defend his title at Southern States. You'll have to listen to see how that worked out.

Simone is a badass ultra runner from Florida by way of Brazil. She popped onto my radar last year at Cocodona as one of the amazing Floridians that finished, but just a few weeks ago, she finished the 6633 Arctic Ultra. 380 miles around the Arctic circle in sub-zero temps. No crew, no pacers. Just Simone and her sled full of supplies.

Davy.... Davy Crockett. He is an accomplished ultra runner with over 100 - 100 mile finishes, and quite the ultra-running historian. He's also an author of many ultra running history books, race director, and podcaster. If you're a fan of the sport, you probably already know of him, if you're knew, give him a follow. You will learn a lot about the history of ultra running. He's also over the Ultra Running Hall of Fame, keeps a running (pun inserted) list of the 100 club. (people with 100 or more 100 mile finishes) I could talk for hours about just the history of the sport, but Davy has an interesting running story himself and the way he got started. I love these stories. Hope you enjoy and give him a follow on his podcast. @ultracrockett Daufuskie Island 100/50/RELAY - March 29, 2025 The Bootlegger 100 Mile Trail Race - April 5, 2025 Squirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Restoring Salves https://mounttocoast.com?sca_ref=8429498.i3SphjUOzN PlayOn Pain Relief l Nature’s Hot & Cold Therapy – PlayOn Relief @pacertravel - 727-433-2385 - pathcrx@aol.com | |||

Aden St. Charles is a name that I have heard in the southeastern ultra-running circles ever since I have been in the sport. She is as strong of an ultrarunner as you will ever meet, also humble and kind. Always volunteering when she's not running. Hailing from the beautiful city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, she has access to some beautiful trails and has run many races all over the country and placed high in most with quite a few wins. She's got lots of great stories with good lessons and loves to share them. She's also a coach. Of course I love to talk period, so this is a long one.

| Episode 135 - Pam Reed | 10 Feb 2025 | 01:41:18 | |
I got the opportunity to crew Pam Reed for the 2024 Daytona 100. Most folks know I enjoy helping others do epic things as much as doing it myself. For Pam, this was 100 miler (or longer) finish 120, I believe, maybe 121. She now has 122. It was a sight to behold. At 63 years old, she made 22 hours and change look fairly easy. The big lesson I learned is minimal stop time. Because this was a point to point race with minimal aid stations, crew meetups were fairly often. Probably close to 25 times in 100 miles. And in one stop, she changed all of her clothes as well as shoes and socks. I still bet her stop time was way less than an hour. Incredible. She has so many accomplishments, we could do 5 episodes and not cover them all. Many Badwater finishes with an overall win mixed in, Western States, Hardrock, Moad 240, Cocodona 250, on and on.

| Episode 134 - Long Haul Recap and Mount to Coast's Doug Rosenburg | 27 Jan 2025 | 01:03:06 | |
In this episode, I take a few minutes to discuss the good, bad, and ugly from my recent survival at Long Haul 100. Then I jump into a very interesting interview with Doug Rosenberg of Mount to Coast shoe company. Mount to Coast came on the ultra-running scene last Spring with 2 models of road shoes, a racer and a trainer. They've since introduced a third model and have a trail shoe in the works. They have new technology in the foam and stability system that makes it a very durable, lightweight, and comfortable running shoe designed to go beyond the normal distance of competitive brands. Mount to Coast came highly recommended by a few friends and guests of the show and it's still early for me. but I really like them. Check out the interview and give them a try if you're interested. Doug also discusses a 100k race series they are sponsoring so check it out! | |||
| Episode 133 - The Long Haul Preview brought to you by Pacer Travel | 13 Jan 2025 | 00:53:48 | |
I had the opportunity to join Pacer Travel's own Jeff Iosa, OG FUR podcaster and Skunk Ape Events founder Joe Fuller, and beloved RD (or should I say co-RD, because we all know who the boss is) of Long Haul himself, Andy Mathews. We talk trivia, predictions, weather, mud and lack of it, pristine courses, etc. Andy gives course breakdown and updates with exact mileage to aid stations, etc. Please note, this is the audio version of the YouTube video. It has been edited a little but I had no control over the settings. For bonus content and some very handsome guests, see the video in the link provided. See you at Long Haul! | |||
| Episode 132 - Nels Matson Runs with Purpose! | 11 Jan 2025 | 01:39:40 | |
Nels Matson was born with a heart defect basically starving one side for oxygen. So basically, his first few years were like training at altitude. His own Leadville childhood. At the age of 3 he had open heart surgery and at 5 was released to play sports. He has never looked back, and most certainly has not taken his gifts for granted. He has used his gift of stamina to make a difference in the world and has done so with several causes. His most recent was a Transcon from San Francisco to New York City to raise funds and awareness for The Wounded Warrior Foundation as a part of Project Campbell's Call. I'll let him tell you the rest. Enjoy | |||
| Episode 131 - The 2024 Year in Review | 03 Jan 2025 | 01:41:08 | |
2024 was an epic year in running for many people. It was not my best year, with some injuries and a few DNF's, but I gained a bunch of new friends and some wisdom, son we'll call it a good year. I reached out for your help and got some input, and my good friend Jeff Iosa with Pacer Travel sat down for a long chat trying to name some of our own winners in categories such as most inspirational guest from this year, favorite episodes, biggest accomplishments, ultra runner of the year. We went international and local. We also get sidetracked a few times discussing training, life, etc. Hope you enjoy. If we left something out, let me know. | |||

| Episode 129 - Marshall Ulrich | 13 Dec 2024 | 01:40:37 | |
Marshall Ulrich is the epitome of a badass ultra runner! His accomplishments in endurance activities are mind blowing! Seven summits, 20-time Badwater finisher, 13 time Leadville 100 finisher, Transcon, world class adventure racer, and he's literally always missing toenails. He's also an RD, and a true friend to many. It was such an honor for me to get to know Marsh a little and hear some of his stories. Hope you enjoy! | |||
| Episode 128 - Andy Sholly | 07 Dec 2024 | 01:36:42 | |
Andy Sholly is a friend of mine and a badass ultra runner from the Tampa area in Florida. He prefers the backyard ultra format, and does very well at it. He seems to be built for it. When he's in race mode, he's just very efficient in every single aspect. He saves all of the energy for running each yard. Between each running segment he is in recovery/cool down mode and it is a spectacle to watch how efficient he has become. Andy is an interesting guy and I'm sure you will enjoy getting to know him and hearing how a BYU person thinks. | |||
| Episode 127 - Viktoria Brown | 26 Nov 2024 | 01:55:28 | |
I met Viktoria out of the blue when she contacted me about possibly crewing her in a race here in Georgia next month. She ended up deciding against doing the race. Who does that?! But we kept talking and knowing that she is a total badass in our sport, I finagled my way into an interview. What an inspiring story! She has won several world championship titles and holds 3 different current Canadian records. She's also a coach, and effective today, she's my coach. eek. I hope you enjoy getting to know her! | |||

Meet Leah Vincent! She's an artist, an estate sales professional, and a badass ultra runner. She's the self-titled queen of DNF's, but she did not DNF Moab 240 this year. She got the job done with many adventures. She has taken the lessons from her not so fortunate experiences and turned them into valuable tools in her toolkit. Enjoy an informative and entertaining chat with an awesome human! | |||
| Episode 125 - The second most interesting man alive - Joey Lichter | 09 Nov 2024 | 01:29:18 | |
Joey Lichter is a dear friend of mine that I met as part of the Florida Ultra Running Community. He lives in South Florida and is a college professor, badass ultra runner, and just a well-read, super smart guy. We covered many subjects including the election, politics, DNF's, running, races, psychedelics,etc. He has run quite a few ultras including HOTS, Vol State, Cowboy 200, Icarus 48 hr, Stinger, 6 Days in the Dome, and on and on. He's a common sight as a crew or volunteer at races and just a fun guy to be around. He is definitely the kind of person we want teaching our college students. If you enjoy half as much as I did, this will be a huge success. | |||
| Episode 124 - Meg Eckert | 06 Nov 2024 | 01:33:34 | |
Meg Eckert is the new female BYU world record holder at 362.5 miles. But that's not all, she's won numerous events from Snow Drop Ultra in Texas to 6 Days in the Dome. She has a proven track record in going the distance. Enjoy her story! | |||
| Episode 123 - The Jester | 24 Oct 2024 | 01:28:28 | |
Ed "The Jester" Ettinghausen is a 62-year-old man that ran his first ultra at 46 years old. He had run some marathons and decided to try an ultra. His first ultra happened to be a 24 hour race and well, you guessed it, he made 100+ miles on his first try. Now he didn't immediately set out to run 100's every weekend, but has evolved into 280 finished races of 100 miles or more. He's done 41 this year so far with 2 more planned this coming weekend. | |||
| Bigs BYU 2024 Preview with Mike Melton and Scott Snell | 16 Oct 2024 | 01:52:21 | |
If you know me, you know I am a fan of the sport of ultra running and BYU is one of the most interesting formats. It's always been scary for me to try because I am a slow trail runner. But I love spectating and crewing. Mike Melton has been to every single Bigs since Day 1. So, he gives his insight on the team format, strategies, etc. Then I chat with Scott Snell, the 4th ranked athlete for USA to hear his background, training, etc. Enjoy! | |||
| Episode 121 - Whitney Dutton and the snaggle tooth booty loop. | 08 Oct 2024 | 01:49:35 | |
When I started my conversation with Whitney Dutton, I had even considered rescheduling because I had lost my mojo after a disheartening DNF at Miami. But within minutes she had me laughing out loud and remembering all the things I love about running crazy long distances and our amazing community. Nothing else to say, really. She has an awesome story and is a joy to listen to. You're welcome! | |||
| Episode 120 - Fall Races previewed with some shoutouts and tips | 27 Sep 2024 | 00:47:58 | |
Hey hey folks! Just a mini episode discussing some of the awesome races coming up in the next month or so. I (and a lot of dear friends) have some big races coming up. So, I mention some and give their races and tell a little bit of info about those races. A little more info on some than others as it's based on my experience and research. This is a shorter reprieve from some of the long interviews I usually put out. Just know that I have an awesome lineup of interesting people on tap after I get back from Miami. I'm including links to some of the races mentioned in case you want to put them on your bucket list. | |||
| Episode 119 - Lisa Pozzoni | 22 Sep 2024 | 01:14:21 | |
Lisa Pozzoni is an avid trail runner, coach, specializing in Chi running and walking, and is one of the leaders of Dawn Patrol for the TransRockies runs. I came upon Lisa on Day 3 at TransRockies and we ran together for an hour or so and really enjoyed getting to know her. I think you will too. | |||
| Episode 118 - Etienne Durocher, The Canadian Cowboy | 17 Sep 2024 | 01:35:21 | |
Etienne Durocher will probably never introduce himself to anyone as the Canadian Cowboy, lol, but in his early days he hadd a ranch and actually rode bulls and did calf-roping, so the name at least used to fit. My friend Rachel Belmont introduced me to Etienne a month or so ago and finally got the chance to sit down and chat with him last week. What an interesting guy and interesting story! | |||
