    $10,000 White Mountains FKT Bounties Reaction & Predictions

    This week I react to the recently announced White Mountains Bounty by Run the Whites. $10,000 annually to be allocated to five of the most competitive mountain running routes in the Northeast. The Presidential Traverse - 18mi 8.5k ft vert Pemi Loop - 29mi 9kft vert Hut Traverse - 45mi 16k ft vert White Mountains 100 - 95mi 34k ft vert Mahoosuc Traverse 28mi 11k ft vert Each route has either $1,000 or $2,000 if you set the new mens or womens FKT. If you crack the top 10, you will also be paid out amounts varying from $50 - $200. People know that the Northeast has some of the most difficult and technical terrain in the country, but not many pros stick around and put emphasis on the region. This will no doubt bring out more elite mountain runners to give a crack at these routes and help legitimize the routes and the athletes in the region. Its going to be exciting to follow in the coming years. Putting money on the routes has raised some questions and concerns as well. I give my thoughts on all of them. Let me know what you think. I finish up with some Western States thought from the absolutey epic 2026 edition.

    Division I Speed Unleashed on Mountains with Lars Hogne and Tyler Sheedy

    This week I sat down with Lars Hogne and Tyler Sheedy. A couple young mountain crushers with a cross country and track & field background. They both ran in Division I at URI and have brought that speed to the trail running scene. Lars is coming off a 7th place finish at the US Mountain Running championships at Sunapee Scramble. Tyler already has multiple race wins under his belt this year and is gearing up for the Vermont 100 miler in a few weeks. We talked about their background, running in college, some of their trail races to date, shoes, upcoming plans and much more. Very fun conversation and it will be fun to see what these two do in the future. Give it a listen.

    Best Months for Trail Running & Hiking in the Mountains

    Summer is here and June has not disappointed. It's one of the best times of the year. Full blown trail season with lots of people getting on trail, races every weekend, and big miles in the mountians. Without giving anything away, this week I rank the best months of year for trail running & hiking in the Northeast mountains. Lincoln Woods is officially closed and lots of people squeezed in a Pemi Loop earlier this month. I talk about some of those efforts and other premier routes that may see some action this year. I also give an update on some of the June mountain races and talk about my recovery from the Hut Traverse. Give it a listen.

    White Mountains Hut Traverse DNF

    This week I talk about my recent DNF on the notorious Hut Traverse. The Hut Traverse links all 8 AMC Huts in the White Mountains in an epic 45 mile 16k ft of gain route over the best of the best Whites terrain. You start at the Carter Notch hut in of the coolest spots in the Whites, traverse over the Presidential range over the highest and gnarliest terrain in the region, then take the A to Z trail into the Pemi across the Twinway and Garfield Ridge, before summit Mt. Lafayette and heading down the Old Bridle trail. You then head up to Lonesome Lake Hut, but I wouldnt know about that. I made it a total of 44 of out 45 miles. Yikes. First DNF. I talk about the first half feeling great and everything going according to plan, and then got into how the second half turned bad and why I bailed at mile 44 uninjured. Give it a listen. Or this week don't. Up to you.

    Wantastiquet-Monadnock-Sunapee 100 Mile FKT with Lexi Jackson

    This week I talked with Lexi Jackson who is fresh off her Wantastiquet-Monadnock-Sunappee ~100 mile unsupported FKT. This route combines the Wantastiquet-Monadnock trail with the Monadnock-Sunappee Greenway trail in a single push with 20,000 ft of climbing. An epic route and cool story, doing it all solo. We also discuss some of Lexi’s other FKT and race efforts including the White Mountains 100, Dirritissema, and so many more. She has been throwing down long distance (mostly unsupported) ultras for a long time and has lots of stories and tons of good ultra tips. Oh, and shes a grid finisher already working on grid #2 & #3.

    Hardest Trails in the White Mountains

    This week I ranked the toughest trails in the White Mountains. Not just the most technical, but the hardest trails to go fast on. I got a ton of input for this list which was awesome and did a little bit of research on trail stats as well. I gave a bunch of honorable mentions and then ranked the top 10. I did a Chocorua Mountain race preview and some of the history from one of the coolest races in the Whites. Awesome trails, tough terrain and super competitive. I also previewed the US mountain running championships at the Sunapee Scramble. Always cool to see the best in the US come to New Hampshire and race.Threw in some other race results and quick previews.

    Breaking Down the Presidential Traverse

    This week, I deep dive into the iconic Presidential Traverse. 18 miles and 8,500ft of gnarly White Mountains terrain. I discuss the required peaks: Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Clay, Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower and Pierce. Yes on Clay, but no on Franklin? And Jackson was a president, but not that Jackson. I talk about the Presi FKTs and the blazing paces over those rocks. At the end, I brought back some non running related rankings. This time doing my top 3 favorite TV shows of all time. And I finish with a correction on the Wapack 21.5 miler results (my bad) and a few other race recaps. Give it a listen.

    Northeast Trail Adventures with Eli Burakian

    This week I sat down with Eli Burakian. Eli wears just about every hat you can imagine in the Northeast trail scene. He’s an ultra runner, backpacker, professional photographer, author, and race director/co-founder of Northeast Trail Adventures. He just loves getting out on trails and being part of the Northeast community and it shows. We dive deep into his background managing the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, writing guidebooks for trails and mountains in the region, and getting started with ultramarathons and FKT. We also get into co-founding Northeast Trail Adventures and his vision for the future. We break down the huge success of Mt. Ascutney Vertical Backyard Ultra and the unique format that suits us Northeast vert stackers. Plus, we talk about his upcoming running & hiking retreat he’s hosting in Gorham, NH in just a couple of weeks. There are still open slots and he offered listeners a nice discount for anyone interested.  As always, I wrap up the episode with a breakdown of recent race results, local race previews, from around the New England ultra scene.
