On this episode, the boys had the backyard ultra/motivational speaking legend Mark Dowdle back on the podcast! 

A lot has changed since we first had Mark on earlier this year. On his first episode with us, he was a relative unknown in the ultra/backyard scene. Now - he has won the BPN Last Man Standing, is a BPN/Rappid Athlete, and is feared on any backyard start line. 

Mark’s recent big race was the Mid-State Mile, where he had an epic duel with Harvey Lewis. We recapped that race and talked about what he learned in getting 2nd to Harvey.

Mark had a couple big announcements on this pod! He just picked up a new apparel sponsorship with Rappid and is also running Kim Gottwald’s Last Soul Ultra here in just a couple weeks in Germany against a stacked field.

On this episode, the boys caught up on some banter! Danny just came off the Bix 7 Miler in Davenport, Iowa and we got the full race recap. We also talked about how there should be more huge off distance races because they are quite fun. 

We also chatted creating fake enemies for motivation (lol). Whatever you have to do to lace em up and get out the door every day - do it! We gave some thoughts on the Tour de France + doping on this episode as well. 

We capped it off talking about our favorite gels and gave some good ones for people new to fueling. Enjoy!

On this episode, the boys had our good friend Trevor Giampa on the podcast! Trevor is not only a hybrid athlete, he is THE hybrid athlete. He is currently training to run 2:25 at Chicago and bench 225 twenty-five times on the same day. Of course, there are many side quests along the way!

We talked a lot about motivation and mindset on this episode. Trevor explained that motivation is not something that lasts or should be relied on. You need to build habits and find something you enjoy if you want to commit daily to it. Trevor has a demanding job and still makes heavy lift and run training work daily!

On this episode, Chris and Ryan broke down another weekend of pro running action! This episode was largely focused on USA Outdoor Champs that were this past weekend. While a lot of the major stars chose to skip the meet, there were still plenty of exciting races!

We also talked several other topics, including Josh Kerr vs Cam Myers at Commonwealth Games, Jakob’s return to running at the European Champs 5k, and our thoughts on the Chicago Marathon pro field releases!

On this episode, the boys had special guest Canyon Woodward on the podcast! Canyon is one of the top ultra trail runners in the US - having just came off an 8th place finish at Western States 100 in his debut at the race! 

We recapped Western States, where Canyon took a different strategy than most and went out conservatively, moving up several places in the last quarter of the race. We also chatted his training going into this and the difference between training for a race like this and UTMB.

An interesting part of this podcast was learning about Canyon’s upbringing and current living situation. He has a very off-grid lifestyle which is rare in today’s world, but it was very refreshing to hear about! Enjoy!
