Living An Ultra Life: How running can help you overcome obstacles. Ten years ago, chaos erupted in multiple areas of my life, creating a “perfect storm” strong enough to kill most of my hopes and dreams. Running helped me begin to dream again. www.livinganultralife.com/

  • Senior Navy Leader

    Great podcast. There is plenty for you if you are a long distance runner…as a leader in the Navy I appreciate the life lessons. Shamelessly, I have used a number to convey key messages to the sailors and officers I lead. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ory Frazier: Doing It Their Way!
Q: When was your first Ultra and how did you approach it?
He explains that his first true Ultra followed a Chicago Marathon in 2023, with a six-day gap to compete in a long challenge, which taught him about pace, recovery, and mental resilience.
David Elsbernd: A Quiet Ultra-Running Legend
Q: What was it like to run Western States multiple times and face tougher conditions?
The first time was overwhelming but magical, the second time was hotter and more challenging; the key was pacing, mental calculations, and supportive crews that kept me going near the cutoff and beyond.
David Elsbernd: A Quiet Ultra-Running Legend
Q: What's on your agenda for the future in ultrarunning?
Continue with a mix of shorter and longer events, including a possible 48-hour return to Across the Years and a 100K at Lake Tahoe with a 24-hour cutoff; balance with walking relays and a sustainable training plan.
David Elsbernd: A Quiet Ultra-Running Legend
Q: What is one of your recommendations to younger runners coming up?
Never discount yourself and be persistent; stay flexible, treat ultras as problem-solving events, and if you feel worse, take a break at an A station, refuel, and reassess rather than quitting immediately.
Peter Nyi Wai: Living An Ultra Life!
Q: What sparked your transition from cycling to running?
A panic attack led him to seek help from a therapist who was a marathoner; the therapist suggested running as a remedy, and it effectively alleviated the panic symptoms.
