    55 - Stepping Into What’s Next

    This week we’re recording our final episode from the original Murder Miles studio — don’t panic, we’re not leaving Nashville, we’re just relocating operations like slightly more organized feral adults. What starts as a sentimental moment about neighborhood miles and familiar running routes quickly devolves into chainsaw talk, masculinity rants, gluten grievances, and a full-blown debate about whether elite runners should be allowed pacers or just be big kids and carry their own stuff. We get into the 100-mile record drama, integrity in the sport, Golden Ticket nonsense, and whether ultra running is getting a little too shiny for its own good. Somewhere between nostalgia and near-argument, we question the future of the sport, roast each other, and remind ourselves why we love doing hard things in the first place. It’s chaotic, mildly unhinged, occasionally controversial, and exactly what happens when you give two ultra runners microphones and zero supervision. Same city. New setup. Same reckless opinions.

    54 - (video) Resolution Over Worry

    * video and not suitable for listening One year into the Ultra Crewed Podcast (which we completely forgot to celebrate because of course we did), this Sunday night episode spirals through Daytona engines, fallen trees on the farm, relationship stress-tests disguised as furniture assembly, and the brutal reality of the Barkley Marathons—where nobody finished and that’s kind of the point. We get honest about chasing validation, why “harder” doesn’t always mean “better,” and how social media has convinced runners they need to go longer, suffer louder, and inspire harder just to matter. Somewhere between rebuilding a chainsaw and arguing about wet socks at mile 38, we land on the lesson that actually counts: stop worrying about what you can’t control and solve the problem in front of you. This one’s about failure, ego, resilience, choosing each other, and understanding that not everything epic is meant for you—and that might be the most freeing thing you hear all week. Press play if you’re tired of pretending you’ve got it all figured out.

    53 - (video) Don't Sacrifice Your Future for Today

    * video not for Apple or Spotify listening Becca Jones and Jon are back, broadcasting from the chaos command center known as Murder Mile Studio. This week, we’re talking about the slippery slope of sacrificing tomorrow’s potential for today’s pride. Whether that’s overtraining at the Black Toe Ultra, running through actual lung pain, or committing to a weekly raw milk pickup like it’s a damn ultramarathon. From butter bartering and Fresca diplomacy to the cult of the pain cave, this one’s got everything. Warning: You might end this episode questioning your relationship with dairy, discomfort, and your own decision-making process. Don’t worry we question all of yours, too.

    52 - (video) Equally Yoked and Mildly Unhinged

    * video - Not for Apple or Spotify listening What happens when two ultra runners try to move, renovate a house, run a business, and still show up for each other without completely losing it? You get this episode. This week we get honest about what it really takes to build a life together—on and off the trails. We talk about being equally yoked (and what that actually means in real life), the myth of "doing it all," and how saying yes to the wrong job at 15 could’ve changed everything. There’s some rage, some gratitude, some laughter, and a wood chipper wish list. Also: dogs off leash, coyotes in public parks, hydrogen water that may or may not be science, and a strong case for Fresca as a lifestyle. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, under appreciated, or just plain tired—this one's for you. It’s raw, real, and full of dirt under the fingernails. Hit play. Let’s go.
