  • Great podcast

    Nice one Brent. I particularly enjoyed all of your C2K pods including the most recent interview with Mark Avery. I’ve run with a few of the Ultra Mediocre crew and it looks like a great club.

Why Every Street Matters: Peak2Soon R4R Podcast Takeover With Kim Elms
Q: How did Kim's military background shape her current advocacy work?
Her experiences with trauma and resilience informed a mission to create safe spaces, educate about coercive control, and turn personal healing into community impact through running.
The Dirt Vert Surfer: Jordan Nukunuku
Q: So Jordan, how did you become a runner?
Running found me after heartbreak and a rough patch in life; I shifted from team sports to running, which gave me purpose and visible improvements that kept me going.
Jonathan Ash: 100 Loops and Big's Backyard Ultra
Q: What role does your crew play in these long races?
Crew support, especially his partner Caroline, is crucial for logistics, emotional support, and timely foot care, making the difference in sustaining performance over many laps.
Jonathan Ash: 100 Loops and Big's Backyard Ultra
Q: What differences did you notice between your Reds and Sydney performances?
The shift was largely in mindset and fueling; Sydney's taught him to prioritize consistent pacing and smarter nutrition, which improved endurance and finish position.
