    109: How to Run in the Heat Without Ruining Your Training

    Heat can be one of the biggest performance killers in endurance sports and most runners don't give it enough respect until it’s too late. In this solo episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I dive into everything you need to know about training and racing in the heat. Whether you're preparing for a summer race, training through hot and humid conditions, or simply trying to survive your long runs this time of year, this episode will help you train smarter and stay safer. I talk about: Why heat impacts performance more than most runners realizeThe difference between heat adaptation and heat exhaustionActive vs. passive heat training protocolsHow to safely incorporate heat training into your programCooling strategies for both humid and dry environmentsIce bandanas, arm sleeves, core cooling, and race-day heat managementRecognizing the signs of dehydration and heat stressWhy effort (not pace) should guide your training in the heatThe goal isn't to suffer through every run. The goal is to adapt, stay healthy, and give yourself the best chance to perform when race day arrives. If you're training through the summer or preparing for a race in hot conditions, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can start using immediately.

    108. The Comeback Continues: Building Toward No Business 100

    In this solo episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what training has really looked like lately. From VO2 max workouts and threshold sessions to vert challenges, strength training, and the races for the year, this season has been anything but easy. I'm sharing the highs, the lows, the setbacks, and the lessons I'm learning as I prepare for some big goals later this year. We dive into: My current training block and why I'm focusing on speed right nowBalancing heavy strength training with high running volumeTraining through sickness, fatigue, and life's chaosMy goal of climbing over 350,000 feet of vert this yearThe upcoming 50K treadmill challengeA 50-mile adventure with friends in St. AugustineBuilding toward No Business 100 this fallDoing the crazy Dreadmill challengeWhy consistency matters more than perfectionThis episode is a reminder that progress isn't always pretty. Sometimes training is messy, life gets in the way, and things don't go according to plan. But that's often where the biggest growth happens. Whether you're training for your first ultra, chasing a PR, or simply trying to stay consistent, I hope this episode encourages you to keep showing up and trust the process.

    107. Sedona 125 - The Reality of Running and Pushing Beyond Limits

    In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I sit down with Jim Witcombe and Cory Kitchens to talk about their experience at Sedona 125. From Jim being a veteran at this race to this being Cory's first 100+ Miler. We talk about the real side of ultra running.... the pain, the mental battles, the unexpected lows, and what actually keeps people moving forward when things get hard. From hallucinations and destroyed feet, to caffeine strategies and sleep deprivation, this conversation dives deep into what it looks like to tackle 125 miles on trail. Cory shares the experience of taking on his first 125-mile race and the lessons he learned through doubt, injury, and pushing far beyond what he thought he was capable of. Jim brings the perspective of multiple finishes at this particular race (and many other ultras) and proves that age doesn’t define what’s possible in ultra running. We get into: Managing blisters, fatigue, and mental breakdowns during long racesHow caffeine and sleep strategy can completely change a raceThe role of community and shared suffering in ultrasWhy mindset matters more than perfectionThe small moments and humor that help runners survive dark milesThis episode is about more than running. It’s about resilience, problem solving, and learning how to keep going when everything in you wants to stop. Whether you’re training for your first ultra or have years in the sport, this conversation is packed with honest stories, hard-earned lessons, and reminders that the toughest miles often become the most meaningful ones.

    105: How to Crew & Pace an Ultra Marathon. The Complete Guide for Runners, Crew & Pacers

    Most runners don’t fail on race day because of fitness… they fail because of poor execution. And more often than not, it comes down to one thing:crewing and pacing. In this solo episode, I break down the real role of crew and pacers. Diving into the difference between barely surviving a race and actually executing it. From choosing the right crew chief to understanding when to push or hold back, this episode dives into the details most runners overlook: The difference between crewing vs pacing (and why it matters)How to organize your crew so race day isn’t chaosWhat your crew should actually be doing at aid stationsHow pacers can keep you moving (without ruining your race)The subtle signals runners give when things are going wrongWhy emotional control from your crew can make or break your race This episode is for: Runners preparing for their first (or next) ultraCrew members who want to actually be helpfulPacers who want to show up the right wayBecause here’s the truth:No one finishes an ultra alone! Even if they cross the line by themselves. If you want a race-day plan that actually works, this is a must-listen.

We talk about: What unsupported FKTs really demands both physically and mentallyLearning to respect terrain, distance, and conditionsThe shift from confidence to experienceHow these kinds of challenges change how you see yourself and your limitsBalancing big goals with life, work, and familyThis isn’t just about running. It’s about what happens when you strip everything away and see what you’re capable of.
