  • Excellent Podcast!

    I really enjoy this podcast! Corinne and Russ are genuine and entertaining! My fav episodes are the race course previews and tips, and the recent one with the PT! Would love an episode with a sports psych on the mental side of running, racing and injury. Keep up the good work!

  • Great content but audio still needs some tweaks

    On most episodes the audio from the guests and hosts isn’t synced (off by a couple seconds) so they are often talking over each other. It is also usually too quiet to listen to during some activities, like running ironically

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hardrock Uncovered | Episode 3: Kaci Lickteig – A Decade in the Making
Q: How does family influence your racing and how do you honor those connections during Hardrock?
Family is central; her grandmother has been a grounding presence and she plans to race with her memory in mind, imagining the grandmother urging her on the climbs.
Hardrock Uncovered | Episode 3: Kaci Lickteig – A Decade in the Making
Q: What challenges do you anticipate with altitude and the demanding terrain, and how are you preparing to manage them?
Her training has focused on local hills and elevation work, using Hitchcock Nature Center's Loess Hills to simulate steep ascents, and she plans to pace herself thoughtfully while leveraging her experience across many 100-mile races.
Hardrock Uncovered | Episode 3: Kaci Lickteig – A Decade in the Making
Q: Tell us about the journey to get here. When did Hardrock get on your radar, and what has it been like waiting to get in for so long?
She had known about Hardrock since 2012 but thought it wasn't trainable for her Midwest, so she built up a resume and training with mentors before entering the lottery, ultimately getting in after about a ten-year wait.
Hardrock Uncovered | Episode 9: Arlen Glick - Ready for the Mountains
Q: How do you feel about the competitive lineup and the potential for fast times this year?

Hardrock Uncovered | Episode 9: Arlen Glick - Ready for the Mountains
Q: What do you think is the most important thing to do in training for a successful Hardrock?
