scott.sandow@ultrarunnerpodcast.com (ULTRARUNNERpodcast) — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 06:31:41 +0000

Last year a young man who goes by the name “The Kansas City Kid” caught our attention. We interviewed Russ Thomas about his amazing weight loss journey and how running ultras was a part of his success. He laid out some pretty ambitious goals the last time we spoke. Fast forward one year. How is he doing? Where is he running? What is he going to run? Did he ever blow-up a building like he said he was going to???

Jesse Barragan and Ken McKee Interview

scott.sandow@ultrarunnerpodcast.com (ULTRARUNNERpodcast) — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 05:05:26 +0000

I think we have all looked a map and thought, “Wow. No one I know has done that. It would be so cool to run it.” Jesse Barragan and Ken McKee thought it and then did it. Both ran a circumnavigation around Folsom Lake, nearly 70 miles. This is the story about two friends, the adventure they had and what they learned in the process.

Davy Crockett Interview

scott.sandow@ultrarunnerpodcast.com (ULTRARUNNERpodcast) — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 04:14:20 +0000

With a name like Davy Crockett it is only fitting that the man with the same name as the American folk hero runs ultras. Fact is, both Crocketts would probably have a lot in common. What started as a way to get fit in his forties ended up being a relentless passion to seek out adventure and test the limits of human endurance. What makes this ultra running frontiers man tick? Grab your running shoes and coonskin cap, Davy Crockett is about to tell a tale, and the only thing tall about it is it’s distance.

What do you get when you combine one Hardrock 100 shared first place finish, Grand Slam finish, a couple of Western States 100 top ten finishes and a couple of FTK’s just for good measure? Yep, you get Mark Hartell. Fancy that, Mark now lives Santa Barbara and has zeroed in on being a co-race director of quite easily one of California’s toughest 100 milers, the DRTE 100. What’s his story? What can we expect from this years DRTE 100? – All of that a whole lot more awaits.

Caitlin Smith, ULTRArunner
The words Caitlin Smith and Course Record nearly seem synonymous. With a proven track record such as Caitlin’s it is easy to see why. For someone who seems to have most things go their way it truly is a crossroad when things do not. Such is the case at this year’s North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Miler. Caitlin discusses what happened and what she learned. We also talk about her conditioning, what gives her strength, all things past, present and future and much more.
