    #437: How to Finish the Arizona Monster 300 -- Advice for Runners and Crew

    In this episode my endurance mentor and friend Thomas Mullins and his girlfriend/crew Micah Ferrell break down tips and strategies they used to get Thomas across the finish line at last year’s inaugural Arizona Monster 300. For this conversation I invited Jared McClain, a runner competing this year, and his partner/crew Cami Gage to pick Thomas’s and Micah’s brains about how to survive and thrive through this 300 mile odyssey. This is packed with useful advice from both the runner’s view and the crew’s perspective about the best way to take on these huge multi day events. Whether you are an aspiring finisher of the AZ Monster 300 or a dedicated crew member, this episode offers a raw look at what it takes to survive one of North America’s challenging new endurance events! Get those notebooks out and get ready for a crazy amount of useful endurance information!!! Hope you all enjoy!!!

    #435: Dyana Carmella 2 -- Waking the Dreamer, “Secret Life of Walter Mitty” & Backpacking

    This week, we welcome back Dyana Carmella for a deep dive into outdoor adventure and creativity. Dyana reflects on her adventure on the Colorado Trail and a grueling trek through the Grand Tetons, while sharing an exclusive look at her journey adapting her book, A Walk Thru Neverland, into a screenplay. We also explore the influence of the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, discussing how its themes of self-discovery through daydreams and adventure mirror the courage it takes to step into the unknown and push your personal limits. This is truly one of my favorite episodes!!! Hope you all enjoy!!

    #434: Phil Pinti 5 — Adventures of 2025, The Tale of Three Journeys

    In this episode, Phil Pinti returns to and shares what he learned through a tough DNF at the Arizona Monster 300, the peace found on our paddleboard trip through Iowa, and how adventure can be found through urban running and tacos at the Taco Bell 50K!! As we start 2026 and look back on 2025 we must ask ourselves three questions: Why take on big scary goals even when faced with failure? What do we learn from embracing the journey? And of course....How many tacos can I eat while running 31 miles? This is an awesome episode and I hope you enjoy Phil's perspective on all three events!!!

    We are welcoming in the new year with Christine O'Hara Ryan's EPIC tale of finishing the hardest Moab 240 with only 15 minutes to spare!!

    BIGFOOT REPLAYS: "Travis Steffen's Ultimate Guide to Sports Movies"

    This is a REPLAY of one of my favorite episodes from the 9 years of doing this podcast! In this episode my two friends Travis Steffen and Brandon Swett hang out and we go through a varitey of categories to eventually determine which movie wins the award of "Travis Steffen's Ultimate Sports Movie".
