  • How’d I miss it?

    Just listened to my first and wish I’d jumped on a couple years ago. At least I now have binge material for my runs. Well done, guys.

  • I’m sure there’s an audience for this- unfortunately

    I gave this a few episodes but it misses the mark for me. Not the trail running culture I want promoted.

  • Great Chemistry

    These guys have an easy manner and Michael J. McKnight fits right in. Love listening to these guys talk about ultra-running, races, prison, injustice, whatever. It’s just an easy listen. And I enjoy that they continually push back on “offended guy or offended girl.” People just look for opportunities to be offended these days. It’s good that someone stands up to that nonsense.

  • TRT

    Suppose a man on TRT pushed you off the podium at Kodiak by UTMB so you didn’t get your automatic qualification. Wouldn’t that bother you then?

  • Get a Life

    People who rate a pod low because they don’t agree with the hosts or so easily take offence need to get a life. My goodness. Just because you have a big mouth doesn’t mean you should open it.

    Keep up the fantastic work, Jake and Mick! You’re both a bright light in what can sometimes be a dim world (filled with dim people, apparently).

    Here for the men’s meat!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aaron Kubala is Chasing Down Kilian, and Hardrock's New Transgender Policy
Q: How did the three-hour penalty come about?
They argued that Aaron entered an aid station without his pacer, which violated rules about not dropping a pacer; the organizers chose a three-hour penalty as a compromise rather than disqualification.
Hardrock in Question? A Call with Jeff Browning
Q: First of all, congrats on the 1803. How do you feel?
Browning says he feels pretty good but a bit beat up seven weeks after Cocodona, acknowledging the toll of racing at a high level and the ongoing recovery work.
Hardrock in Question? A Call with Jeff Browning
Q: Walk me through the last 10 miles, like 10, 15 miles, what did you have to do to get it done, how much pressure was there?
Browning explains going out conservatively, then deciding to push hard in the final stretch, managing the gravity of running with Cocodona legs, and calculating splits to hit a sub-7 hour final section, all while relying on crew feedback and on-the-ground pacing to optimize finish time.
Jeff Pelletier and the Future of Ultrarunning Content Creation
Q: How do you decide what story to tell in a race film?
I look for a personal angle or 'why' behind each race, and I map it to a skeleton of the story that can evolve as the race unfolds, aiming to keep the viewer immersed in the moment.
Catching up with Manuela Vilaseca — The Triple Crown Record Holder
Q: What role did sponsorship and gear play in making the Triple Crown possible?
Sponsorship from Tailwind and Mount to Coast provided both financial support and technical gear input, especially with prototype shoes that could be refined during race conditions.
