  • 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

Leadville Uncovered: Glaze chases the Big Buckle Between Two Flights to Europe
Q: How do you balance preparing for Leadville while also chasing UTMB and other long races in close succession?
It's a logistical and mental juggling act—I've structured a quadfecta approach, prioritizing completion of all four 100-mile events, while managing training, travel, and recovery to avoid burnout.
Leadville Uncovered: Glaze chases the Big Buckle Between Two Flights to Europe
Q: What brings you back to Leadville for a third time, after two prior finishes?
The sense of community and the energy at the aid stations keep drawing me back, plus an openness to explore new parts of the course and face the elevation with a positive mindset.
Leadville Uncovered: Jared Ewing: The Adaptive Athlete Chasing the Grand Slam
Q: What does Leadville mean to you, and what about the race excites you for the Grand Slam?
Leadville represents the culmination of a lifelong curiosity about limits, a history-rich race with extreme altitude, and the chance to showcase adaptive athletes as part of a broader movement. I'm excited by the community, the challenge, and the possibility of completing the Grand Slam with a performance that proves what's possible.
Leadville Uncovered: Tim Tollefson Finally Comes to Colorado
Q: Do you plan to have crew and pacers for Leadville, and how would that look?
Tim currently hasn't finalized crew/pacers; he appreciates the potential support and is open to crowd-sourced help or traditional drop bags and aid stations.
Leadville Uncovered: Tim Tollefson Finally Comes to Colorado
Q: How do you approach altitude-related pacing and staying healthy during Leadville?
