Free Inside is a weekly conversation with Jeff Garmire and Allison Powell about endurance sports, adventure, science, coaching, curiosity, and whatever else happened that week. Some episodes dive into ultrarunning, hiking, and training. Others end up about bears, the World Cup, nonprofit work, overthinking, or why Jeff still doesn't know what he's wearing to the wedding. No guests. No script. Just honest conversations, bad jokes, and the things we'd probably be talking about anyway.

    Raining Blobs, Rube Waddell & 200-Mile Hallucinations

    What do a Hall of Fame baseball player who chased fire trucks, mysterious blobs falling from the sky, and a 200-mile ultramarathon hallucination have in common? Apparently... this episode. Jeff and Allison bounce between the strangest stories they can find, including the unbelievable life of Rube Waddell, the mystery of Washington's Oakville Blobs, hallucinations during Moab 240, childhood adventures in the woods, camping stories, the Headwaters Relay, hiking the Teton Crest Trail, FKTs, movies, and a whole lot of conversations that somehow make perfect sense. If you enjoy curious rabbit holes, ultrarunning, the outdoors, and conversations that go completely off the rails, this one's for you.

    Would You Swim the English Channel?

    What starts as a conversation about whether we'd ever run Badwater quickly turns into designing some of the most ridiculous endurance events imaginable. This week on Free Inside, we debate extreme ultramarathons, Allison's lifelong dream of swimming the English Channel, why long-distance swimming might be the world's worst spectator sport, and how we would completely redesign track and field if anyone were foolish enough to let us. Along the way we cover: Badwater 135, Arrowhead 135, and other extreme endurance racesOpen-water swimming, the English Channel, and Alcatraz swimsThe Travis Walton "Fire in the Sky" UFO mysteryThe best and worst spectator sportsWhy ultramarathons should include puzzles and escape roomsHow we'd fix track and field with chaos, fire, glow-in-the-dark skeleton suits, and moving walkwaysStrange race ideas we'd actually love to seeWhy endurance sports don't always have to take themselves so seriouslyWhether you're into ultrarunning, trail running, hiking, endurance sports, triathlons, backpacking, outdoor adventure, or just enjoy two people turning normal conversations into increasingly absurd rabbit holes, there's something here for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when two endurance athletes are left alone with microphones for too long, this episode is your answer. Expect laughs, weird stories, questionable race design, and the kind of conversations that somehow start with Badwater and end with aliens, puzzles, and glow-in-the-dark runners.

    How Did We End Up Talking About This? 250 miles on skis ... and drugs

    One topic somehow became ten. We discuss world records, NASCAR, weird sports, celebrity shoe sponsors, bad haircuts, trail running, and one of the wildest survival stories we've ever heard. If you've ever wondered what a normal conversation between us sounds like, this is probably it.

    Free Inside: Same Cost, New Location

    Welcome to the very first episode of Free Inside. This is our new weekly show where we sit down with no guests, no script, and no real agenda—just whatever we've been thinking about, experiencing, or laughing about that week. In our first episode, we introduce ourselves, recap Allison's fixed-time race win and immediate decision to sign up for a 200-miler, talk about why fixed-time races deserve more love, share recent bear encounters and European adventures, answer some very questionable soccer questions, and somehow end up debating what Jeff should wear to our wedding. Maybe the show will become reading reddit comments or Allison teaching us math, but either way, it should be fun
