Everyday Ultra

Is it possible to go from no ultrarunning background to being a runner who represents USA on the world stage of ultrarunning? You bet!

Our guest today proves its possible, because he's done it! And he's also won many ultramarathon races, been on the podium multiple times, and has had tons of strong finishes. All while also having a family, full-time job, and spending part time as a content creator.

Jake Jackson is our guest today, and he's an absolute grinder when it comes to the sport of ultrarunning. He's represented the US as a part of the 24 hour National Team twice and has racked up tons of great wins and results in his ultrarunning career.

And now, he's gearing up for the longest race he's faced yet: Cocodona 250! And we get into the weeds of his training on this episode.

In this episode, Jake shares his training for Cocodona 250, how he prioritizes recovery and performance, and his best pieces of advice for balancing life and running to be great at both.

Huge thank you to Jake for coming on the show!

So, when he announced he was putting on the Saddles 100 mile race last year in Prescott, AZ, the running community was immediately interested.

And in this episode, Michael shares all about the race, including why he started it, what makes it so unique, and the experience he is looking to create in trail running.

We also dive into a bit of Michael’s personal background and how he got into the sport of ultrarunning, which was awesome to dive into.

Having crew and pacers at an ultra can be an absolute gamechanger and, in my experience, will greatly increase your chances of success on race day.That’s because a good crew and pacer strategy will keep you moving strong, take a lot of the mental thinking off your plate in an ultra, and can get you everything you need without you doing extra work.

But how do you organize a well-rounded crew and strong pacers? And how can you maximize your use of crew and pacer to get the best results. And wait: where do you even FIND crew or pacer?

We cover all of those questions and much more in this episode!

Utilizing my experience both using crew and pacers, and also me being on the crew and pacing for elite athletes like Sally McRae and Scott Traer, I share everything you need to know to have a rock solid crew/pacing strategy for your next ultra.

I also share how to find the best crew/pacers (even if you don’t know any other runners), how to make sure your crew/pacers are aligned with your strategy, and how to know if a crew or pacers is even necessary for your race!

Thank you so much for listening to the episode!

Recovery is just as important as the miles when it comes to training for an ultramarathon. Because we put our bodies through so much when it comes to ultrarunning, having a recovery routine and regime is incredibly important when it comes to being a better endurance athlete.

Jordan Battaglia is a former collegiate football player, athlete, and founder of PlayOn who is obsessed with helping athletes recover well to perform their very best. PlayOn is a topical pain relief spray that I use nearly every day to keep my muscles fresh throughout my training.

Nutrition and fueling is one of the most important topics when it comes to ultrarunning. But here’s the thing: it’s the area most people struggle in. And since stomach issues is the #1 cause for DNF’s in an ultra, getting your nutrition strategy nailed down is an absolute must when it comes to preparing for your next race! Over the years of my own racing and working with tons of athletes, I created a process to help out with testing nutrition so that you can avoid upset stomachs, fuel excellently in a race, and feel much better so you can not only avoid stomach issues, but also perform better. And in this episode, I’m sharing that exact strategy with you! I share how much food you should be eating, how to test your nutrition strategies, alternate options if you get an upset stomach frequently in your races, and how to apply nutrition in your training.

Running an ultra not only requires you to be physically fit; it also requires you to be mentally fit as well. And part of being mentally fit includes being fully confident in yourself and abilities to be able to get across that finish line.

We all struggle with that negative voice in our head that says “you can’t do this”, especially when we are at the halfway point of an ultramarathon. But if you have unshakable confidence that is deeply rooted inside you, you will be able to conquer that voice and any obstacle you face in a race and in your life.This episode will show you the no B.S. way to build unbreakable, sustainable, and real confidence (hint: it goes beyond just shouting answers in the mirror).

We cover how you can rewire your brain to be more confident in your races and training, how you can apply confidence boosting activities in your ultra training, and ways you can combat that negative voice in your head when things get tough.

Thank you so much for listening!

Our guest today is Tony Lillios who is the founder of Speck Products, an Executive Coach, and multiple IRONMAN finisher and endurance athlete. He is also a speaker, mentor, and thought leader in the entreprenurial world.

Javelina Jundred this year was wild and I've never learned more in a race than I have ever learned throughout this experience. I raced the 100 miler for my second attempt at this race, for yet another stab at the Golden Ticket. Although I came massively short, I learned a ton. And ended up finishing 15th male, despite battling incredible pain in my quads and a really rough day. In this episode, I share a full, raw, and real recap of the day. I also share my biggest lessons and takeaways throughout the race to help you be a better endurance athlete. And I share about how I've been feeling post-recovery from the race. I know this is a LONG episode, but there was just so much to share here. Thank you so much for listening in to the episode!

Known as one of the most inspiring runners in the ultra scene, Sally McRae capped off her incredible journey of completing four 200 mile races in one year with a win at the Moab 240. 

Not only did she win Moab, she also won the Grand Slam of 200’s and the Triple Crown of 200’s this year, all within her very first year of doing 200+ mile races.

But it didn’t come easy; Sally battled obstacle after obstacle throughout each race. And despite all that, she still chose strong, dug deep, and pushed hard in every race to achieve her biggest dream.

In this episode, Sally shares her biggest lessons from Moab and the Grand Slam, wild stories from both Bigfoot and Moab, and her biggest piece of advice for runners who are looking to complete any endurance challenge.

Sally is professional trail runner for Nike, BPN, Camelbak, Leki, and COROS. She is also the author of the book “Choose Strong” and host of the “Choose Strong Podcast”, which is meant to inspire people to choose strength over fear in any situation in life. She is also a mother of two on top of it all!

We are also joined by my good friend, Leo Fung, who was crew chief at Bigfoot 200 for Sally, and also on the crew team at Moab 240. Leo is one of a kind and an all around great dude, so it was so amazing to have him on the show.

Huge thank you to Sally and Leo for coming on the show!

In early August, Dominic Fusco and his crew went to a local track to record their mile times. Although being a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach with two marathons and an ultra under his belt, Dom collapsed on the track and went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully, he was able to get necessary medical attention and recover. 

Today, Dom shares how his cardiac arrest experience helped him gain a better perspective on life. As a fitness content creator and mental health advocate, I was intrigued to chat with Dom and hear all of his insights, including how to avoid burnout and principles for living a healthy life - both mentally and physically.

What makes a great runner? A runner who loves it and enjoys themself out there. Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in training and forget the reason why we started this sport. In this episode, I chatted with Hilary Yang about rediscovering joy in running. Tapping into this joy of ultrarunning and embracing the lows led to Hilary’s strong finish at IMTUF 100. 

Hilary is an award-winning content creator, which includes photography, graphic design, writing, videography, and being a creative director. On top of all this, she is an outstanding ultrarunner, so I was stoked to hear her take on training amidst a busy schedule, along with lessons learned from when High Lonesome did not go as planned last year. Hilary had a ton of intriguing insights from her personal experiences as an athlete and also from behind the camera at several ultra events - this episode is not one to miss!

Getting in your hydration and electrolyte strategy locked in is one of the most important things you can do as an ultrarunner to make sure you’re performing to your full potential in training and on racing.

And there’s a very simple strategy that you can use to find out how much water you are losing, how much water you need to take in, and how much sodium you should try to intake in order to hydrate fully and feel your best on your runs.

In this episode, I am going to show you exactly how you can implement these simple, but game-changing strategies to help you lock in your hydration strategy as an ultrarunner!

As endurance athletes, it’s easy for life to get out of hand. Scheduling and prioritizing is a huge challenge with all the parts of life that goes on.  For Mak Regan, balance was key while training for her High Lonesome 100 miler finish and wedding planning. Mak is an ultra runner, obstacle course racer, content creator, PhD student, and chemical engineer so finding balance in it all is crucial in the training process. Super stoked to have Mak back on the pod to discuss lessons learned from her thru-hike of the Colorado Trail, High Lonesome 100, and recently getting engaged. In this episode, Mak shares about prioritizing the important things in life to make sure you’re not spreading yourself too thin while training, how to avoid overtraining, and why sleep and eating are the two things that you cannot mess up.

When we attempt big endurance challenges, there are always lessons that come from the experience. And learning from those lessons, whether from ourselves or others, can always be a gamechanger in our ultrarunning career. For Shelby Farrell, her most recent attempt on grabbing the FKT on The Long Trail was filled with incredible lessons, takeaways, and memories of grit that will serve her (and you) in the next challenge. And that’s why we had her on this week’s podcast. Shelby Farrell is an ultrarunner and content creator predominantly supported by Adidas TERREX who has completed Cocodona 250, won The Speed Project Solo edition and is the former course record holder, and tons of other ultras. And in this episode, Shelby shares how she approached training for her FKT attempt on the Long Trail, her lessons on managing emotions and “hype spikes”, and taking care of her body and mind while enduring the long challenge.

When we hear the word “sustainability”, we immediately think that word just has to do with taking care of the planet. But as a runner, it means so much more than that. It also means taking care of you and your community, all while supporting the planet that supports us in our running goals.

And in this episode, we’re joined by elite athletes Tina Muir and Zoë Rom who share practical advice on how to be a more sustainable runner in these three areas. That way, you can continue to run at your very best while also taking care of the planet along the way.

Tina and Zoë Rom are both elite runners with impressive resumes in the running world. And they are also authors of the new book: Becoming a Sustainable Runner: A Guide to Running for Life, Community, and Planet.

Tina is a former elite runner, and host of the Running for Real podcast. Since retiring from racing professionally, she approaches running in a way that sustains her physically, mentally, and emotionally, and has discovered that that means getting out on the trails for long distances. She ran her first ultra a few weeks ago, the Bryce Canyon 50 Mile, and finished first female and third overall. She also devotes herself to her other passion, environmentalism, and has worked with the United Nations on campaigns related to climate change and humanitarian affairs.

Zoë is an elite trail runner and award-winning journalist who specializes in science, environmental, and adventure journalism. Her ultras include first place finishes at the Crested Butte 100k and Athens Big Fork Trail Marathon, and two consecutive wins at the War Eagle 50k. Her work has appeared in Outside, Backpacker, Trail Runner, Women’s Running and Discover magazines, and she’s the writer, host, and producer of the DNF podcast.  

In this episode, Tina and Zoe share actionable steps on how to take care of your mind, body, and soul to make running more sustainable, how to give back to the running community to help lift it up, and ways to support the planet in your running lifestyle to help protect the planet.

But even though Pierce has accomplished a ton of ultras at a young age, he actually had no background in endurance sports before diving into the space. In fact, it was something that he worked hard towards, set his mind to, and build his mindset to be able to handle.
