Jake can run crazy fast, and for long distances too. So much that he has qualified and been selected to represent the USA on an international stage! He qualified for the IAU 24 hour championships in Albi, France coming up this October, after running over 157 miles in 24 hours at the Desert Solstice event in November last year. He'll be racing for the solo win, but also for team USA as the top 3 mileage of both men and women will count as the total team time. Get em Jake! We're proud of you man!

3 Big Events, Bigfoot 200, Tahoe 200, Moab 240

Running 200 miles is crazy enough, but doing one in August, the next in September, and the last 240 mile one in October is crazy! But hey, someone has to do it right? Jen Merchant completed all three last year and gives us her take on how to train, race, adapt, and recover. Oh yeah, we talk hallucinations on the trail too.

Sanjay Rawal is an accomplished film director, runner, and all around amazing human! His new film focuses on the spiritual journey of the run and its impact on human psychology. The core of this film is about the 3100 mile run called the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, but also touches on the Marathon Munks of Mt Hiei Japan, a Kalahari Bushman hunter, and to a champion Navajo ultramarathoner and his running journey. Listen in to learn more about the backstory of some of these athletes, and please checkout his movie, available on itunes, amazon, and google play!

So let’s talk cycling, like real fast cycling, actually real fast anything. Today our guest is Denise Mueller-Korenek. She set a world record for the fastest flat surface, motor paced, bicycle speed record in September last year at 296 kmh, 183.93 mph. Motor paced or not, this is simply amazing to me. Have y’all ever tried going say 30mph on a bike on your own for a few miles on a flat? How about in a paceline? It’s tough! Listen in to hear her amazing story!

Have you heard of the Canadian Death Race or Sinister Triple? Keri Bowzaylo is the Co race director of the CDR, sponsorship coordinator of the series, and leads the training camps for all too. Plus she's a personal trainer so we dig into the events and preparation for them!

First off, Amanda "Panda" Nauman is freaking awesome. She's a legit pro cyclist that performs just as well racing short course cyclocross as she does 200 mile gravel grinders. She's won DK200, Land Run 100, Coast 2 Coast 200, Belgian Waffle Ride, and countless other events. Aside from having loads of cycling power, she's a down to earth bike geek who loves to tech out on bike details, while wearing a big smile on her face.

David Wilson and Amy Margolis wanted to spend more time together and experience life to the fullest. So they picked up a sprinter van, built it out themselves, and took off from their home base in Seattle to go big on life. They've been on their journey for over a year now and yeah, I'm crazy jealous!
