  • Never miss it..

    Great pod. Jason, John and Garrett are normal guys, work real jobs, and still find time to train and run Big races. They’re experienced Ultra Runners and have a lot of great insight on training and technique. Really nice discussions on races and trails on the Eastern and SE side of the U.S.

    Interesting guests, frank reviews of gear and what works or doesn’t work for them. Well worth a listen. Glad I found them. Trashy is the new cool…..

  • Podcast is pure gas!

    Been listening to these guys for over a year and only wish they put out more content. Love the banter, race recaps, guests, and more. If you're a fan of TJM gang shows this will be right up your alley. They're based in the Tennesee area so it's nice to hear about all the trail races in the mid-southern states. Kepp up with the awesome podcasts!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 106 - Not Everyone Who Runs Vol State Eat's Hunt Brother's Pizza
Q: Would you do this race again given the chance?
Yes, though not as Vol State-focused; he would seek a similar challenge like Heart of the South to mix things up, with caveats about hydrating and avoiding the routine sameness of the event.
Episode 106 - Not Everyone Who Runs Vol State Eat's Hunt Brother's Pizza
Q: What was the most unexpected challenge you faced during the race?
The realization that his trained friends would not finish alongside him, the mental shift to rely on himself, and the tough night through Columbia including a difficult hotel stop and the decision to keep moving instead of pausing.
Episode 106 - Not Everyone Who Runs Vol State Eat's Hunt Brother's Pizza
Q: break it down for us. How did the race start out for you? What was the weather like in the opening hours?
He describes a hot, sunny start with a challenging open highway segment, then a rough first day where he felt sick around Union City but recovered and kept moving, aided by drinking fluids and eating when possible.
Episode 103 - Dustin Wulfeck & The Summer Sasquatch 50K
Q: What role did gear play in your first ultra, and what would you recommend for newcomers?
I switched to wider-fit trail shoes with good arch support (Topo Mountain Racer 4s) after trying other brands; comfort and fit matter as much as course terrain and elevation, so choose gear that minimizes hot spots and supports your feet on rough surfaces.
Episode 103 - Dustin Wulfeck & The Summer Sasquatch 50K
Q: How did your training evolve from a 5K to a 50K, and did you follow a formal plan or improvise?
I gradually progressed from 5Ks to half marathons and then to longer races, using races as training rather than a strict plan; I experimented with mileage, elevation when possible, and kept building up endurance through incremental goals rather than sticking to a rigid online plan.
