Today's show focuses mostly on what's unfolded at Cocodona 250 over the last few days. Including the exciting finish in the men's race which was not long before we recorded. First place woman should be finishing later tonight. It's truly been a fun race to follow and the livestream action has been great. We go over some race results from UR Mags Old School races series which saw action at Miwok 100K and Strolling Jim 40 miler. Give a shout out to a friend who finished her first 50K at Pine Trail Run in AZ. We thought we didn't have a LazCon update but magically one appeared while we were recording! We discuss Patagonia's virtual RUFA event which is a Challenge on Strava that anyone can sign up for and I will link below. In addition, we started a UNN club on Strava that everyone should join (if you want to)...link below. We talk about which Hardrock qualifier got phased out and which one is being brought on board. EmKay Sullivan turned down her Canyons Golden Ticket and finally Bo Pelander becomes the first person over the age of 80 to do something that is super inspiring.

Today we go over race results from last weekend and do a little hype for our favorite ultra Forget the PR 50K which is this weekend. We also provide as good of LazCon update as possible, not much new info out there. In addition, we discuss some new running films that have recently come out. We cover an Ian Torrence article about troubleshooting problems on the run during an ultra. Finally we go over a cringe moment and also a fun record from the Boston Marathon.
