The Story Behind Ben Mercer’s Mogollon Monster 100-Mile Finish - Episode 136

Thursday Sep 22, 2022

Thursday Sep 22, 2022

This is the 2nd time I've had Ben on the podcast, and the third time I've had his wife Allison on. They are both amazing people doing awesome things. The reason this episode came to light was because we didn't think Ben was going to line up less than 2 weeks from the start of the race. This is the story of how that came to be and how Ben found the finish line through all of it!

To connect with Allison on Instagram - @onewomandanceparty

Both can be found on Strava under their respective names.

Thursday Sep 15, 2022

Thursday Sep 15, 2022

I start this episode with a short segment on Cross Country & how to get involved with your local team. In the 2nd segment, I speak on Relays, what they are, what to expect, and what to bring. Having just completed the Blue Ridge Relay with a 12 person team, this topic was fresh in my mind.

Analyzing Your Long Run - Episode 134

Thursday Sep 08, 2022

Thursday Sep 08, 2022

The long run is one of keys to your training for your goal event. It often simulates best what the goal event will actually be like. We should take notes and analyze these runs to help us succeed in future long runs and especially our goal event!

Estimating a Nutrition & Hydration Plan for Your Next Race - Episode 130

Thursday Aug 11, 2022

Thursday Aug 11, 2022

With Bigfoot 200 a few days away at the time of this recording, I figured it a good time to talk through how I put together my nutrition & hydration plan to know what to buy & estimate how much to purchase. I speak about how often and how much I plan to eat and drink based off current research, a breakdown of the different options I intend to use, and the gear I'll use in hopes of reaching the finish line at Bigfoot 200.

Finding Flow with Co-Author of Running Flow Phil Latter - Episode 129

Thursday Aug 04, 2022

Thursday Aug 04, 2022

Phil Latter wears many hats (very well I may add). The book he co-authored, Running Flow, displays his passion for running, life, and helping others. One experience with flow in Phil's College Running career changed his life and sent him down a path to help others find flow. In this episode he tries to help us understand how we can find the flow state. Thank you Phil!

Martin Schneekloth & The Bob Graham Round

Thursday Jul 28, 2022

Thursday Jul 28, 2022

Martin Schneekloth has completed over 150 ultras. The likes of which we talk about in this episode focus on The Moab 240, Tahoe 200, & The Bob Graham Round. It's the later that we will focus our conversation on. The Bob Graham Round has a history and lore unlike anything we have here in the US. I loved hearing Martin's telling of his Round. I hope you enjoy!

Learning About Supplements with Dr. Judkins DO - Episode 127

Thursday Jul 21, 2022

Thursday Jul 21, 2022

The supplement business is making lots of money on us. Should they be? Are there any supllements that can make us better runners. It's through this conversation that I hope to answer these questions and more about supplements.

Resources:

Sweat Rate Test - 

1. Urinate

2. Weigh yourself without clothes and note weight.

3. Run for 1 hour at goal race pace.

4. Note how many fluid ounces you drink during the run.

5. Dry off after running.

6. Weigh yourself again without close and note weight.

7. Convert pre-run and post-run weight to ounces.

8. Subtract post-run weight from pre-run and add  back any fluid ounces drank during the run. The answer is the amount of fluid loss you had during exercise and what needs to be replaced (keeping in mind you can only comfortably drink 20-30 ounces of fluids per hour). If there is an a fluid loss higher than what can be replaced during the hour, that amount must be drank post run to rehydrate.
