In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, I sit down with one of the best examples of what it truly means to be an Everyday Ultra athlete — Evan Moody .
Evan is a full-time professional, husband, father, and ultrarunner who has quietly built an incredible resume over the past few years — including finishing Grindstone 100 as his first 100 miler, racing Black Canyon 100K and Istria 110K, and most recently running a 21:30 100-mile PR at Javelina through near-perfect execution.
But this conversation isn’t just about results.
We dig deep into:
How Evan went from “someone who runs” to fully owning the identity of being an athlete
Why trusting the process is one of the hardest — and most important — skills in ultrarunning
What it actually takes to execute a great 100-mile race (nutrition, pacing, aid station discipline, mindset)
How friendly rivalry can become powerful motivation
Why accountability matters more than motivation
Lessons learned from injury, patience, and long-term consistency
How to plan a meaningful race calendar instead of throwing darts at UltraSignup
Evan’s next big challenge: a Catskills 35-Peak FKT attempt and Cocodona 250
This episode is a masterclass in execution, patience, and long-term development — and a reminder that you don’t have to blow up your life to chase big ultrarunning goals.
If you’ve ever struggled with doubt mid-training block, questioned your fitness, or wondered whether trusting the process is actually worth it — this episode is for you.
