A Barkley Marathons Finisher’s Approach to Achieving Your Dreams, with John Kelly
1 april 2023 · 58 min
The Barkley Marathons is known as one of the hardest (if not, THE hardest) ultramarathon in the world; only amassing about 17 finishers since the race’s start in 1986. It takes a level of grit, determination, and internal motivation to complete the 5-loop adventure in Tennessee. And today’s guest is someone who has finished it TWICE. Lees meer
John Kelly is an endurance athlete for La Sportiva, who is a two-time Barkley finisher, and is an accomplished mountain runner. On top of his finishes at the race that eats its young, he also has top ten finishes at Bandera 100K and Hardrock 100K. And outside of running, he is a family man and the CTO of Envelop Risk.
Since John has been on multiple podcasts recapping his second Barkley finish, we decided to take a different approach on this episode, and chatted more about his approach towards goal setting, his relationship with suffering, finding meaning and fullfillment in life, and how to get better at anything. This is truly a special episode!
Huge thank you to John for coming on the show!

The Trail Team: Insights from Top Rising Athletes in Trail Running
3 maart 2023 · 1 uur 12 min
When it comes to entering the sport of trail running, there is no “by the book” path that is clear on how to best approach it. While Track & Field and road running have that clearer path, trail is something that seems like it has been more of a “figure it out” operation for those who want to develop a career in the sport. Lees meer
That is why Andy Wacker, professional runner for Salomon, decided to create The Trail Team; a team designed independently support and develop rising athletes into the best professional trail runners in the world through mentorship, skill development, and media exposure.
On the trail team, there are 6 rising athletes who are all names destined to become some of the top names in the sport of trail running over the years. And on this episode, we feature three of those athletes, along with Andy Wacker.
And in this episode, the athletes share about their background, why it’s important for them to have a cross-athlete lifestyle throughout the program, and their best advice for those who want to pursue trail running.
On top of that, Andy also shares the details about the Trail team, how he plans to run the program, and the why behind the organization.
About the athletes featured:
Anna Gibson is a collegiate athlete who runs for the University of Washington, where she anchored her team's Distance Medley Relay to the NCAA record.

Black Canyon 100K Lessons, Reflections and Recap
21 februari 2023 · 1 uur 45 min
I raced the Black Canyon 100K this past Saturday, and boy, did I learn a lot! Although the race was incredibly fun, the day did not go the way I wanted it to go; but the lessons I gained from my experience were some of the best takeaways that I’ve learned in any ultra so far. Lees meer
In this episode, I break down the play-by-play of my Black Canyon 100K race, the lessons and takeaways I learned from my race, and suggestions for anyone who is looking to take on their next ultra (regardless of whether or not it is the Black Canyon 100K).
I did end up finishing the race, but placed in 29th male, well short of my goal of going after a Golden Ticket. And I hope this episode helps to give you into a look at what factors go into NOT having a great day (so that you CAN have a great day the next time you take on your ultra).
If you’d like to look into my training going into Black Canyon 100K, feel free to listen in to part 1 of our preview episode that we did before the race here: https://anchor.fm/everyday-ultra/episodes/Black-Canyon-100K-Training--Strategy-and-Course-Tips-2023-Preview---Part-1-e1uug79

Time Management Tips to Fit Ultramarathon Training in Your Busy Schedule
4 januari 2023 · 35 min
Training for an ultramarathon takes a ton of time. And chances are good that you already have a ton of things going on in your life that also demand your attention. Between day jobs, family, kids, and side projects, finding time to get in your training can be tough.
But even with a busy schedule, there is a way to make time for training for an ultramarathon. It just comes down to a few simple practices that can help you make the time to train for your next ultra. And in this episode, I cover all of those simple practices.
This is the method that I use to manage running 80-100 miles a week on top of having a full time job, being in a romantic relationship, running a podcast, and completing many other side quests in life.
Although I totally get how everyone's schedules are likely different than mine (and many of you are more busy than I am), I hope these time management principles applied to running can help you fit in your training, despite having a crazy busy schedule.
