    Guest - Todd Poquette "Doing The RIGHT Things" | Ep 20

    I had Todd Poquette back on the podcast to talk about what the whole "Doing The Hard Things" means, which spawned the title "Doing The RIGHT Things". Todd shared a lot of great thoughts and gave us some insight into how and what is happening with the 906 Adventure Team. Todd also shared a very personal story that he hasn't shared with too many people, but thought it would offer some insight as to why he does what he does. Listen to the whole thing, there is something there for everybody.

    This Polar Roll Podcast Race Report is a little different than past ones... I started it off by having Todd Poquette on to talk about the race, it's history and some of the behind the scene details. We also talk about some of the other races Todd has going on with some good discussion before I jump into my race report. Let me know what you think of this format and I will see if I can get some other race directors on in the future for some discussion leading into my race report. Thanks for tuning in!

    Race Report - 2017 Solstice Chase Fatbike Race | Ep 18

    It was fun getting back to some racing at the Cyclova XC Solstice Chase Fatbike race a couple weeks ago! I wasn’t sure if I was going to be racing or not, since the shop that I just took part ownership of (Cyclova XC) actually runs the Solstice Chase race. We have an awesome crew with Steve Clark, who will be co-managing the shop with me and is also our race and event director for Cyclova XC, had everything under control for the event. I was out there early in the morning doing some final course marking and hauling the stuff out for the aid station, but was able to wrap up in time to jump in the race myself. Listen in...!

    Guest - Mark Kransz "Just Having Fun" | Ep 16

    Mark spent most of his spare time in High School playing video games, but after getting a chance to ride a mountain bike down some singletrack... he was hooked on mountain biking. Mark just started getting out on the trails and having some fun. He kept trying new things, challenging himself and quickly signed up for some races. Mark has raced just about everything at this point related to mountain biking; including Enduro, College race series, Endurance, Elite XC and even earned his Pro Racing License. Mark is a great example of somebody that is just getting out there, taking on some big challenges and having a lot of fun doing it.

    Guest - Eric Olson "Journey of 100 Marathons" | Ep 15

    Another guest episode of the Endurance Path podcast...!  Welcome Eric Olson to talk about going from his first 2 mile run to finishing his 100th marathon. Eric went for a couple mile run one night after work and decided to keep at it. It didn't take long for him to sign up for some races and the marathons started stacking up... Fast forward to the 2017 Twin Cities Marathon and Eric Olson checked off his 100th marathon, but not his last. I reached out to Eric after hearing about him completing his 100th marathon, to see if he would come on the podcast and share his story. I really enjoyed talking with Eric and I know you'll enjoy hearing his story. Eric is another example of how you never know what you can accomplish until you get out there and get active. Eric now directs his own race, the Gandy Dancer Trail Marathon and coaches his local High School's cross-country track team. Listen in as Eric shares some great stories, while we discuss his past experiences and what he has planned for the future...
