Everyday Ultra

It’s no surprise that ultrarunning takes a ton of time to dedicate towards training, racing, and recovery. And sometimes, if left unchecked, the busy schedule of an ultrarunner can stray all of the other aspects of life away; including personal relationships. But, there are ways to stay on track with your training while also maintaining amazing personal relationships. And that is exactly what our guests cover today in our episode.

Today, we have on Melody and Jacob Bateman on the podcast! They are a married couple who are both ultrarunners, and often train and race with each other. They have completed an 100 mile race together, and share their tips and insights with other aspiring ultrarunners through their own podcast, The Trail to 100 Podcast.

In this episode, Melody and Jacob discuss how they are able to approach their own romantic relationship while maintaining their ultra training schedules, how they were able to complete their self-supported 100 mile race together, and tips on how you can crush your first 100 mile race (regardless if you do it with your partner or not)

In endurance, the whole game changes when you attempt a challenge that spans multiple days. Whether it’s a 200+ mile trail race, a long fastpacking trip, or a thru-hike, you’ll be facing a ton of obstacles that never appear on a traditional 1-day ultra.

And if there’s someone who has mastered conquering those obstacles in multi-day events (while also having a hell of a lot of fun doing it), it’s today’s guest: Jeff Garmire.

Jeff is a pro endurance athlete and an accomplished thru-hiker who has broken 17 trail records, including the Colorado Trail Unsupported FKT, the Arizona Trail self-supported FKT, and Long Trail unsupported FKT. He’s also completed the Calendar Triple Crown which consists of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail, and Continental Divide all in one year. And most recently, he placed 5th in the Cocodona 250, which was his second completion of that race. This dude is simply incredible!

Jeff is also the founder of backpackingroutes.com, which is a website that’ll help you find your next backpacking routes and adventures. He is also the author of the book, The Free Outside.

In this episode, Jeff discusses his best advice to tackling multi-day endurance events, how he approaches training for these events, and what his favorite mental hacks are for tricking your brain to keep going when you hit the inevitable low points.

One of the holy grail adventures of ultrarunning is Grand Canyon’s Rim to Rim to Rim: a 47-ish mile adventure with 12,000+ feet of elevation gain that takes runners from one rim of the canyon to the other, and then back to the starting point.

Known for its jaw-dropping views, wildly volatile temperature, and brutal climbs, it makes for one of the most unforgettable experiences an ultrarunner can have.

I recently completed Rim to Rim to Rim for the very first time with three of my amazing friends, and it was the journey of a lifetime. I know that a ton of listeners would like to complete the challenge one day, so I decided to compile everything someone needs to know and prepare for it in this episode.

I chat about when the best time of year to go is, what you need to be careful of, what gear you should bring, a description of the course, mistakes we made (so you don’t have to make them) and so much more. On top of that, I give a recap of our day in the canyon to tell you what it was like.

Plus, I even bring on the three savages who completed this run with me: Jordan Moon, Kimo Clark, and Benjamin Holmgren. They all share their perspective about the run, the hilarious stories that ensued, and their biggest lessons learned from the day. They are awesome guys indeed.

All in all, if you’re thinking about doing this run: do it. And this episode will set you up for success.

One of the toughest accomplishments to achieve in ultrarunning is securing a Golden Ticket spot to Western States 100 by placing in the top 2 of the Canyons 100K race. And today’s guest recently accomplished that feat, even though the race was only his first 100K ever!

Adam Peterman is a HOKA athlete who has been taking the ultrarunning world by storm over the last few years in his early career. He won the JFK 50 miler in 2021, nearly breaking a seemingly unreachable course record. And in this year, he took first place at the Canyons 100K race to secure his spot at Western States 100, where he will no doubt be a top contender to look out for in an already stacked field.

And in this episode, we dive into Adam’s approach to training and preparation for big races, how he tackles negative thoughts during the middle of a race or on training runs, and what he’s focusing on going into Western States 100.

Huge thank you to Adam for making this episode happen!

This year’s Cocodona 250 was absolutely epic. With a stacked field of some of the best runners in the nation, there was no doubt it was going to be an incredible display of endurance over the course of 250 miles. And today’s guest is the guy who came out on top to win the race in less than 60 hours!

Today, we’re chatting with Joe McConaughy, best known as “The Stringbean” in the ultrarunning community. Joe is not only an accomplished ultrarunner, but also an accomplished thru-hiker/fastpacker who has amassed FKTs on the Arizona Trail, Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Coast Trail and more.

On top of an amazing ultrarunning career, Joe also runs his own coaching business to help other aspiring runners to accomplish their biggest goals.

In this episode, Joe discusses his entire journey through Cocodona 250, the strategies he used to help him get through the low points in the race, and how he capitalized on his lead in the race to secure the sub-60 hour effort.

It’s one thing to win a race. But it’s a whole new game when it comes to breaking course records. And our guest for this episode can tell you all about that, as she recently broke the female solo record for a 290 mile race called The Speed Project last March.

Today’s guest is Shelby Farrell, who is an athlete, ultrarunner, Adidas crew runner, and is the Partnerships Marketing Manager for COROS Global. Shelby has completed tons of marathons, ultramarathons, Cocodona 250, and most recently, The Speed Project on a solo attempt. She lives life to the fullest, embodies the mentality of a hunter, and is never afraid to back down on a challenge.

In this episode, Shelby discusses the full recap of her record-breaking run at The Speed Project (along with how she did it), what it’s like to really dial in a race and crew strategy that works, and the amazing benefits that come from using cannabis while running.

Sometimes, it takes more than an organized ultra race to push our limits. And that means finding ways to set our own challenges to really see what we’re made of.

For today’s guest, that means running across America, completing the Colorado Crush (running the Leadville Marathon, Leadville 50 miler, Leadville 100, running the entire Colorado Trail, and climbing every 14er in Colorado in a span of ONLY a few months), and running farther than how far a Tesla can go on full-charge. Robbie Ballenger is the man who has completed all of those challenges.

Robbie Balenger is an ultra-endurance athlete who has completed multiple feats of physical and mental accomplishment during his athletic career, and is a world record holder. He is well-known for completing these challenges all on a plant-based diet, and through an innovative sleep technology called NuCalm.

And on top of that, he has a mindset and drive like no other, always trying to find the edge of his limits, and then looking to see how he can break through them.

Robbie has also been featured on the Rich Roll Podcast, and The Bare Performance Podcast.

In this episode, Robbie talks about the real secrets to his incredible endurance accomplishment, tips that anyone can use to complete their own endurance challenges, and why a plant-based diet and NuCalm has been so crucial to his success.

Is it possible to transform your entire life, even when it seems so incredibly dark? Our guest today is the perfect example of showing that it most certainly is.

Brandon Stutzman dealt with homelessness, depression, and a rough childhood during the early years of his life. But through taking control of his mind, as well as finding passion through ultra running, he was able to turn it all around. And now, he’s gearing up to attempt his first ever 100-mile race, along with completing 1,000 pull-ups throughout the attempt, all self-supported. And he’s raising money for the homeless shelter he was a part of when he was growing up. Truly incredible!

Brandon is also a content creator and videographer who has shot content for tons of ultrarunners around the country. He even directed and produced his own documentary called “For the Kids” which is available on YouTube, and in the link below.

In this episode, Brandon discusses why ultrarunning has played such a huge role in his transformation, tools that he uses to level up his own mindset, and how to bounce back from the dark points in your life (whether it be during an ultra or in your day-to-day life).

Every ultrarunner has a story. We all have that one race that totally changed our life. We all have those internal struggles that led us to want to continue to push ourselves. And we all have that inner desire to strive for bigger goals, while enjoying the rewards that come from each finish line.

And in this episode, I share my own story. As the Everyday Ultra Podcast grew, many of you have been asking to have someone interview me: so, that’s exactly what this is episode is.

Today, I pass off the interviewing role to Chris Ronzio, the Founder and CEO of Trainual, and Jonathan Ronzio, the CMO of Trainual, who are both the incredible leaders I work with at my day job at Trainual. These two amazing guys asked me some deep questions about my background, how I got into ultrarunner, my approach to training and life, and lessons that everyone can apply to be a better endurance athlete, every day.

This is my story. And I hope that there’s something to learn from my journey that will help you conquer your biggest challenges, while also creating the fulfilling life that you desire for yourself.

How to Break Your Negative Thinking During an Ultra, with Katelyn Johnson.

One of the hardest things about running an Ultra is battling with the negative thoughts, beliefs, and comments that flood into our heads.

“You can’t finish this”. “This hurts so damn bad”. “I’m never going to make it”

Heard these before inside your head during an ultra or in training? If so, this episode is totally for you.

Today, we chat with Mindset Coach and Ultrarunner, Katelyn Johnson! Katelyn is an expert in rewiring negative beliefs, breaking negative thought patterns, and healing past trauma that holds her clients back. On top of that, she is also an accomplished Ultrarunner, who has won the Jackpot 100 Miler and came in the top 5 of the Antelope 100.

In this episode, Katelyn discusses how you can overcome the negative thoughts and beliefs that pop up in an Ultra, how to bulletproof your mindset so you can beat any challenge, and how to trick your brain to keep going (even when it doesn’t want to).

Whether you’re training for you first or 50th Ultra, getting the right tips on how to train smarter and more efficiently from a coach is always helpful. And in this episode, I was joined by one of the best running coaches out there, Jacob Puzey!

Jacob is the Director of Peak Run Performance, which is a coaching company designed to help runners achieve their big goals (without having to do any of the guess work themselves). Jacob is also an accomplished runner himself, finishing in the top 10 of the 2021 Javelina Jundred and winning multiple races in the past.

In this episode, Jacob and I discuss simple tips to make your training way more effective, what you should be aware of if you’re thinking of working with a coach, and how to keep yourself in the game during brutal training blocks.

Also, Jacob’s brother, Tommy Rivs, has been unfortunately and heartbreakingly battling cancer since 2020. If you know Tommy, Jacob, and their family you know that this couldn’t have happened to a more undeserving guy and family.

There’s a powerful message along the lines of: “it’s not what you go through in life that defines you, but rather, it’s how you react to it that does”. And today’s guest is the epitome of that saying as she has defined herself as one of the most inspiring human beings on the planet.

Today, I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who is not only an accomplished ultra-runner, but is also a cancer survivor and an amputee runner who is a world record holder. On top of that, she is also a loving mother and wife. And in the midst of recording this episode, she is currently accomplishing an incredible feat of human endurance: running 100 marathons in 100 consecutive days. So damn inspiring.

In this episode, Jacky shares how she was able to keep moving forward despite all the adversity she’s faced in her life, how to best think about problems when they arise (in both ultrarunning and life), and how she’s able to maintain her discipline to accomplish her biggest goals.

Prepare to be inspired by this one.

Zach Bates is a 19-year old ultramarathon runner, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 4. But despite that, he hasn’t let that diagnosis define who he is or mask the incredible spirit that he shows every single day.

Zach recently achieved his goal of completing a 100-mile race before he hit 20 years old at the Cold Water 100 in Goodyear, Arizona. And what is incredible about that was that he had set that goal when his longest race was only a 5k. Along his journey leading up to the race, he’s completed multiple ultramarathons and trail races, and spent hours on the trail training for his moment.

In this episode, Zach shares his journey into ultramarathons, what his training was like, the recap of his 100 mile race, and a look inside his amazing mindset that helps him pursue his dreams and break through difficulties. This is a truly inspiring episode!

We’re also joined by Nickademus De La Rosa, Zach’s Running Coach and a Barkley Marathon winner, who shares his perspective of what it was like to coach Zach during the entire journey.

It’s never fun dealing with injuries when it comes to ultrarunning; especially when it prevents us from doing the things we love to do the most.

That’s why I invited today’s guest, Brodie Sharpe, onto the show to give you an absolute masterclass in preventing and rehabbing running related injuries. And when it comes to this subject, there’s no better person to go to than Brodie!

Brodie is a renowned physiotherapist who, over the last 8 years, has helped hundreds of runners repair and reduce running related injuries. He is also the host of the Run Smarter Series Podcast, a show dedicated to helping you become a better and healthier runner. His podcast is ranked in the top 1.5% podcasts globally.

Before this podcast interview, I personally worked with Brodie to heal an awful IT-Band injury I had that was preventing me from running. But, with Brodie’s incredible insight and coaching, I was able to heal the injury in 4 weeks (whereas it took me 3 months to heal the same injury when I had it a couple years ago). Brodie is the real deal!

In this episode, Brodie and I chat about the biggest mistakes and misconceptions that people have when it comes to injuries, what steps you can take to make sure you reduce the risk of injury, and the most impactful ways to sustainably rehab injuries so you can get back to running.

What should you be eating as your training for an ultra endurance race? What should your nutrition strategy be during a race? And what are the best things to eat after a long training session?

These are the most common questions I get from people who are following my ultra endurance journey. So, I thought making a podcast answering these questions would be super useful for anyone who is looking to dive into how to approach their nutrition.

In this episode, I cover nutrition principles for training and races. Specifically, how to approach eating before a training session or a race, during the activity, and when the session is finished.

I also cover a little bit of science behind why these principles work for most people, and how you can tweak your nutrition strategy to better accommodate your body and how you handle food.

What is it like to run a 200 mile race? In fact, what is it like to run multiple 200 mile races in a three month span? And how the heck do you actually prepare yourself to be able to do that?

That's why we brought on today's guest, Hector's Rodriguez, to the Everyday Ultra Podcast. Hector is an ultra-endurance athlete who is one of the only people on Earth to complete one of the hardest challenges in running: The Triple Crown of 200's. The Triple Crown consists of completing three 200+ mile races within 3 months, which is a brutal, yet rewarding accomplishment.

On top of that, Hector has completed multiple 100 mile races, 24 hour races, triathlons, and other ultra-endurance events.

In this episode, Hector and I discuss the key to building mental toughness, how to bounce back from failure on your endurance events, and how to train yourself to be your best when you're at your worst.
