    020 The Tales of Ron Blanton and the Cloudland Canyon featuring Kyle Kraeft

    020 The Tales of Ron Blanton and the Cloudland Canyon featuring Kyle Kraeft

    'In the quiet of Tallahassee, where legends are spun,
    Ron Blanton's story, forever to run.
    Through winding trails and a Canyon’s embrace,
    A ballad for Ron, in the runner's chase.


    Ron Blanton, a name in the wind,
    Cloudland Canyon, where his dreams begin.
    Second place echoes, in the Georgia clay,
    A ballad for Ron, who runs his own way.'

    Kyle Kraeft is an amazing member of the ultra running community in Tallahassee Fl. Ron (Kyle) and Sean talk all about his 2nd place finish at Cloudland Canyon 50mile trail race, nutrition, training, and the local trail community he's help grow in his home town.

    019 - How to Crew Yourself - Solosode

    What's up Runbum family!
    We have a short solosode from your boy, Scottapants.
    He had what you would call an "unsuccessful" race at Tunnel Hill 100, but we think he really nailed the logistics of crewing himself.
    Today so many runners feel that the need a crew to succeed in an ultra, but he's here to give you som tips on how to make your race as successful and streamlined as possible.
    He does show some spreadsheets and footage, so the video version on your YouTube channel will be a great resource as well.

    Thanks for the support and we'll see you out on the trails!

    018 - Wild Florida 50k Recap

    018 - Wild Florida 50k Recap

    We're back from our summer siesta. We've been working hard prepping for the upcoming race season and we're stoked to be here.
    You may have noticed that we've renamed the podcast simply to the Runbum Podcast. Our motto is still 'Bend, don't break' but we wanted to streamline the name to fully encompass our race company RunBum Races.

    This past weekend, 11/18/23, we had our Wild Florida 50k trail race. A favorite race of Runbums, so much so that we worked extra hard to cover him while he raced the 50k!
    Wild Florida is extra special, because we get to collaborate with the Florida Trail Association. It's so great to work with them, as the Florida Trail holds a special place in our hearts.

    Listen along as the gang talks all about the race, the future of the race series, and Runbum's personal experience out on the tail.

    Thanks for listening and remember, Bend Don't Break.

    Check out the Florida Trail Association and become a member today!

    017 - Running Beta - 10 Tips for 50k Training

    017 - Running Beta - 10 Tips for 50k Training

    We here at RunBum are excited to be releasing a FREE 50k training program. Thats right; free. We don't want your email, likes, follows, or mother's maiden name. We just want you to become a stronger, faster, and smarter runner. In the excitement of finalizing the training plan, which you will eventually find on our website, runbumtours.com, we decided to release a few videos talking about training for a race. 
    Our experience isn't driven by online coaching certificates and lectures; it's found in the hours upon hours of training and race experience here at Runbum. If you have the means, we STRONGLY encourage you to hire your own coach (check out some of our previous episodes) but we also know that most people can't.  That's why we're here to help. 
    Ultra and trail running to us is a community well beyond the start and finish line of any race. Join us here on the podcast, on our social media, out on the trails for one of our group runs, and at the next race. 

    Thanks for listening and remember, Bend Don't Break.

    016 Froggy Mountain Adventures & the Milk Man

    016 Froggy Mountain Adventures & the Milk Man

    Paul Tilley decided he wanted a trail of his own. 
    He bought property, near Galax, Virginia,  with the intention of building his own epic trail. Fast forward, and we have Froggy Mountain Adventures. 
    A few years later, and lots of sweat hours, he has turned his property into the site of arguably the most vert in a 100 mile race. Each lap is just over 1 mile with 500' up, and 500' down. Do the math. 
    When we think of ultra and trail running, Paul Tilley is the poster boy. He hosts group runs almost every day of the week. He's recently started building out camping, glamping and overlanding sites on the Froggy Mountain Property. Check out this latest conversation, and see if you have what it takes to tackle the Froggy Mountain 100mile race. 

    Thanks for listening and remember, Bend Don't Break.

Will inspire you to run longer & better!

I just signed up for my first 50k and was excited to see Sean Blanton cover this very topic in his first episode. Sean is an expert in his field, easy to listen to, and inspiring with his can-do attitude. I look forward to listening to the second episode and more to come.
