| Episode 132 - Joey Montoya | 22 févr. 2025 | 00:56:55 | |
We had a great time chatting with Joey "Coach" Montoya, local Auburn ultrarunner, football coach and PE teacher at Placer High School. We first met Joey back in episode 60 when he was getting ready for his first attempt at the 2021 Western States. He finished the race, but as he described to us, there was a lot of stress to manage as he approached the event. Fast forward three years, and he's once again been given the honor to run the race in a designated aid station spot (El Dorado Creek), and he has a whole new approach and is enjoying the process! Joey's positive attitude and outlook are infectious, and he takes many of the lessons and methods that he uses with his high school students and players to develop mental toughness and applies them to his own training. In a typical display of dedication, he was also juggling a football booster club commitment, so we spent the first half of the show talking to Joey and wrapped up with other race news, volunteering updates and chit-chat! Join for an inspirational episode with Joey and follow his progress to that next finish on the Place High track, his home track, in June! --- Your Hosts: Jessica Harris / Greg Larkin The Mile 99 Interview is creating podcast episodes | Patreon Intro/outro music: Joseph McDade - Elevation: https://josephmcdade.com/music/elevation | |||
| Episode 131 - George Ruiz and 2025 TRT updates | 15 févr. 2025 | 00:50:13 | |
George Ruiz, race director of the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs, dropped by to talk about the changes for the 2025 race after getting word that a major reconstruction project would prevent the new 100k and popular 100 mile race from occurring this year. This was a shock to the trail running community since this race is incredibly popular and has extremely dedicated entrants. George didn't just decide to close up for 2025 once he found out that the dam at Marlette Lake had to be repaired. He dug in and came up with alternative plan with a 50k race and a new 14 miler! It's still going to be a great weekend up in Carson City with the races and the finish line ultra lounge, so tune in now to get all the details and then go press that green Register button!
