  • One of, if not, the best!

    Finn’s ability at interviewing in a subtle way, removing himself from the story, asking unique and thought provoking questions is simply fantastic. I look forward to each episode that comes out and can’t recommend this one enough. Thank you, Finn!

  • Amazing podcast for new and old ultra runners

    If you’re into running and love ultras this should be one you listen to every week. They have a strong finger on the pulse of the community and are always highlighting the most interesting aspects of the sport. These podcasts always hit and keep up with what will happen and who to watch in a way that makes following the sport fun.

  • Good Not Great

    Most of the show is solid. Finn and his guests (especially panel conversations) lean too much into their liberal beta male agenda, and often come off as a misinformed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dirtbag Dreams: A History of Mountain, Ultra and Trail Running with Carl Morris (Sunday Conversation)
Q: What were the inflection points in the evolution of the sport, particularly the 1950s and 1960s in America and the UK?
That period saw rising health concerns, a push for physical education, the Kennedy call to become a nation of athletes, and a shift toward institutionalized amateurism. This laid groundwork for later endurance culture, including the marathon boom and the growth of running as a mass participation activity.
Dirtbag Dreams: A History of Mountain, Ultra and Trail Running with Carl Morris (Sunday Conversation)
Q: Were you researching this book, were you surprised by how short memories are for generations comparing themselves to the past?
Yes, memory in sport tends to be selective and episodic; many figures are forgotten even when they were central in their own era, which is why the author emphasizes tracing broader patterns and re-connecting diverse histories to understand the sport's evolution.
Rachel Entrekin | 2026 Cocodona 250 Post-Race Interview
Q: What was your reaction to the media explosion after Cocodona?
It's humbling and wild, but I want to keep the focus on the sport and the story of perseverance, not the spectacle.
Rachel Entrekin | 2026 Cocodona 250 Post-Race Interview
Q: How did Elden shape your mindset and performance this year?
Elden has a long history for me; this year I approached it positively with no negativity, using pace, support, and mindset to stay strong and intentional through the climb.
Rachel Entrekin | 2026 Cocodona 250 Post-Race Interview
Q: What was the biggest strategic takeaway from Cocodona 250 this year?
Get rid of the spreadsheets; listen to the body and run what you can when you can, rather than sticking to a rigid plan that might over-constrain you.
