    112: 30 Years of Running | Kim Reamer on Grit, Longevity & Wild Trail Adventures

    In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I sit down with ultrarunner, Ironman finisher, and trail adventurer Kim Reamer to talk about longevity, resilience, and why consistency will always beat chasing quick results. Kim's running journey hasn't been about podium finishes or blazing speed. It's been about showing up, year after year, embracing the process, and learning from every mile along the way. From close encounters with rattlesnakes and mountain lions to racing through the Nevada desert and tackling a 100-mile ultra, Kim has built a lifetime of unforgettable experiences on the trail. In this episode, we talk about: How Kim went from quitting track in junior high to becoming an ultrarunnerLessons learned from 30 years of trail runningWhy patience is one of the greatest strengths an ultrarunner can haveSmart pacing and avoiding the trap of racing with your egoStaying healthy and running strong as you get olderBuilding longevity through mobility, strength, and consistencyWild stories from the trails...including rattlesnakes, mountain lions, and desert adventuresAdvice for runners dreaming of their first ultra, 100-miler, or beyondThis conversation is a reminder that success in ultra running isn't about being the fastest person on the trail. It's about continuing to show up, embracing the adventure, and trusting that the small things you do every day will eventually lead to extraordinary results. Whether you're just getting started or have years in the sport, I know you'll find inspiration in Kim's story.

    111: How Doing Hard Things Can Change Your Life with Deb Hamberlin

    What if the secret to becoming a better runner and a better person is simply saying "yes" to hard things? In this episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I sit down with ultrarunner and coach Deb Hamberlin to talk about a lifetime of chasing challenges, embracing discomfort, and discovering what's possible on the other side of fear. From growing up as a swimmer to completing some of the toughest 200-mile races around, Deb shares the lessons she's learned through decades of endurance sports. We talk about the highs, the lows, and why the small decisions we make every day often matter more than the big ones.

    110: I ran a 50K on a treadmill with 10,000 feet of climbing

    What would make someone willingly run a 50K on a treadmill... with 10,000 feet of climbing? In this solo episode of the Tribe of Runners Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the hardest training days I've ever done in some time!! This wasn't just about proving I could do something difficult. It was a strategic overload session as I build toward my the Dreadmill Challenge 100-mile race, and I wanted to see what it would really be to run a lot of vert on the treadmill. I break down the entire run, including: Why I decided to take on a 50K with 10,000 feet of vert on a treadmillHow I paced the effort over 7½ hoursNutrition, hydration, and fueling strategiesWhat I learned about mental toughness and embracing boredomThe biggest challenges I faced, including a tight hamstringHow sessions like this can prepare you for long ultras without spending all day in the mountainsThis episode isn't really about the treadmill. It's about choosing to do hard things on purpose, trusting the process, and finding confidence in the work long before race day arrives. Whether you're training for your first ultra or your tenth, I hope this conversation inspires you to think differently about your training and about what you're capable of.

    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.
