Episode 26: Solo Strides #2 — Losing Rhythm, Finding Alignment
Season 3 · Episode 7
mardi 12 mai 2026 • Duration 09:54
Welcome back to Solo Strides.
In Episode 26, I pick up right where the last chapter left off—but this time, we’re not talking about the break…
We’re talking about what happens when you finally find your rhythm again… and then lose it just as fast!
This episode takes you into the Crazy Mountains of Montana, where a single moment on the trail turned into something much bigger than a fall. Through raw audio, real-time frustration, and a moment where another runner stops to check on me mid-race, you’ll hear exactly what makes the ultra running community what it is — people who show up for each other, even when they don’t know your name.
We get into what it feels like when running—something that becomes part of who you are — gets taken away again… and how quickly “I missed a run” can turn into “Who am I without it?”
But more importantly, this episode is about the shift that came from it all.
Learning when to stop pushing…
and finally start listening.
Because sometimes the lesson isn’t found in the miles you run —
it’s in the moments that force you to slow down.
So lace up, press play, and let’s put one foot in front of the other together.

Episode 25: Built in Butte; Grit and Growth with The Montana Maverick Dylan Malloy
Season 3 · Episode 6
samedi 10 mai 2025 • Duration 01:26:21
Dylan Malloy: Built in Butte – The Grit, The Growth, and The Montana Maverick
This episode of Run Shoe Diaries is brought to you by SILO Performance! Whether you're bombing down descents or grinding through mile 80, SILO has your back with performance-tested gear for the long haul. Use code RSD10 at GoWithSILO.com for 10% OFF your order.
Now, let’s get into it…
In this episode, I sit down with Dylan Malloy—ultra-runner, ICU Nurse, Endurance Coach, and a THREE-Time finisher of the brutal Crazy Mountain 100. Hailing from the mining town of Butte, America, Dylan’s story is rooted in resilience, recovery, and an unshakable drive to keep climbing no matter how rugged the terrain.
We dive deep into the mindset it takes to rebuild from a devastating knee injury, chase down Ironman finishes, and eventually fall in love with the pain cave of ultra-distance running. Dylan opens up about pacing at Run Rabbit Run, riding high at the Maah Daah Hey 100, and what it means to live a seasonal Montana life—training hard in the summer, hitting the ice and gym in the winter, and always keeping the spark alive.
This episode is packed with wisdom for runners, athletes, and anyone who’s ever stared down a setback and said, “Let’s go anyway.” From his time coaching athletes and teaching nursing students, to his brutally honest take on the evolving ultra scene—Dylan brings that Maverick mindset through and through.
We talk grit. We talk legacy. We talk about the real why behind every mile—and what it means to run not for the finish line, but for the meaning behind it.
So whether you're hammering trails or healing through movement, this one’s for you. Let’s lace up and ride with The Montana Maverick himself—Dylan Malloy.
