I met Shauna during her first 100 miler at Long Haul 100 earlier this year. Most people, regardless of the training, struggle during the last 15-20 miles of their first 100. She may have too, but she sure didn't show it. She was well prepared with awesome coaching, and has the grit required to accomplish big things in the ultra world. Her enthusiasm for our sport is infectious. Enjoy! @ultrashauna Mount to Coast | For runners who transcend distance. Squirrel's Nu...

Stella Springer is a strong trail and ultra runner from So Cal and happens to be pretty good at the timed track and road races as well. Haha. She's coming off a big PR of 146 miles in the 24 hour world championships in Albi, France. What makes this even more remarkable is, she was in France as an alternate for team USA and competing in the open division, but when Camille pulled out at the last minute, eye roll inserted here, Stella was added to the team with very little noti...

I've been trying to connect with Manuela Vilaseca since before the Triple Crown started this year, but when Moab 240 was over and she was crowned the champ and new record holder, it seemed like it was obviously time. The 6 hour time difference took some planning, but we made it happen and I am so glad we did.

Hey friends. This is starting to feel a little self-serving and cheesy. I will probably not do another episode until I can line up an awesome guest to give some tips on dealing with the issues I have been facing. I'm gonna try and line up Tonya to discuss aches and pains and weakness identification, Amy for mindset, and hopefully a veteran at 100 mile training for overall experience lessons.

Join me for a personal journal of the highs and lows of 100 miler training with someone who is 60 years old and not in 100 miler shape. Who am I kidding, I'm not even in half marathon shape, but I am mentally strong, believe in commitment and hard work, and relentless forward progress, so let's see what happens. Regular interviews will still be coming. I was considering doing a video blog of my journey, but let's face it. I have a face for audio. Peace and love m...
