Episode Highlights: Matt recaps his back-to-back race weekend spectating the 50K and running 28K at the Big Alta in Marin, sharing how knowing the course gave him a midpack edge—even if his fueling plan was more of a “grab what’s at the aid station” vibe. He also drops the news that his next A-race is the Rodeo Valley 8K—which he’ll be running with his 10-year-old son! Corinne is just days away from toeing the line at the Gorge Waterfalls 100K and shares how she's navigating the taper blues while juggling coaching duties for two athletes who will also be racing.  The trio dives into volume ramp-ups for summer A-goals, how to adapt strength training during big mileage weeks, and why sometimes not training is the best move after getting sick. They round things out with banter about Cocodona 250 commentary, Randy Zuckerberg’s growing presence in the ultra scene, and dream-casting “Unbreakable 2.” Discussion Topics: How to come back to training after being sick  Ramping up training for your Ultra A goals.  Adapting strength training routines as run training ramps up.   Corinne’s Links @corinne_shalvoyage Corinnes’s Coaching Page Shalvoy Running - YouTube Channel Women Can Site Troy’s Links @troyontherun Troyontherun.com Troy’s Ultra Coaching Page MVD Links @mvd_trailrunner Relevant Links: Gorge Waterfalls 100K ​ Cascade Crest 100 Information Big Alta 50K Course Overview Rodeo Valley Trail Run Keywords: Gorge Waterfalls 100K, Cascade Crest 100, Big Alta 50K, Rodeo Valley 8K, trail running, race preparation, tapering strategies, balancing training and life, ultra running, Western States qualifier​

Check out Troy’s Coaching Page STOKED TO PARTNER WITH   JANJI, COOPERATIVE COFFEE ROASTERS, & BEAR BUTT WIPES "Running became my therapy, my declaration that I was still here and still fighting." In this episode, Troy chats with Josh Ross—a carpenter, hunter, writer, and ultra-runner who lives life with intention and grit. Josh started running in 2019 with a half-mile jog and hasn't looked back. After growing up in the Adirondacks and reconnecting with nature in Wyoming, running became both a passion and a path to healing—especially after a leukemia diagnosis in 2020. Instead of slowing down, Josh committed to a 103-day running streak through treatment and personal upheaval. He later tackled his first ultra, a 55K with nearly 10,000 feet of gain—winning his age group and finding community on the trail. Outside of running, Josh writes the Front Porch Journal on Substack, where he shares reflections on simplicity, resilience, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. His writing has also appeared in Orion Magazine and High Country News. This is a story of movement, mindset, and making peace with the messiness of life. Motivational Takeaways: Embrace Challenges: Josh's journey illustrates the power of confronting obstacles head-on and using them as catalysts for growth. Find Balance: Navigating the demands of work, health, and personal passions requires intentionality and self-awareness. Value Community: Sharing experiences through writing and conversation fosters connection and mutual support.
