I met Viktoria out of the blue when she contacted me about possibly crewing her in a race here in Georgia next month. She ended up deciding against doing the race. Who does that?! But we kept talking and knowing that she is a total badass in our sport, I finagled my way into an interview. What an inspiring story! She has won several world championship titles and holds 3 different current Canadian records. She's also a coach, and effective today, she's my co...
Meet Leah Vincent! She's an artist, an estate sales professional, and a badass ultra runner. She's the self-titled queen of DNF's, but she did not DNF Moab 240 this year.

Ed "The Jester" Ettinghausen is a 62-year-old man that ran his first ultra at 46 years old. He had run some marathons and decided to try an ultra. His first ultra happened to be a 24 hour race and well, you guessed it, he made 100+ miles on his first try. Now he didn't immediately set out to run 100's every weekend, but has evolved into 280 finished races of 100 miles or more. He's done 41 this year so far with 2 more planned this coming weekend. When I first heard of ...
When I started my conversation with Whitney Dutton, I had even considered rescheduling because I had lost my mojo after a disheartening DNF at Miami. But within minutes she had me laughing out loud and remembering all the things I love about running crazy long distances and our amazing community. Nothing else to say, really. She has an awesome story and is a joy to listen to. You're welcome! @cereal_runnerSquirrel's Nut Butter: Natural Anti-Chafe & Skin Resto...

Etienne Durocher will probably never introduce himself to anyone as the Canadian Cowboy, lol, but in his early days he hadd a ranch and actually rode bulls and did calf-roping, so the name at least used to fit. My friend Rachel Belmont introduced me to Etienne a month or so ago and finally got the chance to sit down and chat with him last week. What an interesting guy and interesting story!Hope you enjoy! @wrangler_76@philotimo_running_coachPhilotimo Running Coach - Online r...
Brandon Miller from Calgary, Alberta won his entry to TransRockies by winning The Moab Run the Rocks, a 3 Day Sister Race, so he was no stranger to trail domination. Brandon has done very well in races with lots of elevation gain so he was right his element going up and over the many challenging climbs of the beautiful Ortholite TransRockies 6 day stage race. Day 1 was a nice rolling adventure, but day 2, the climbing began by going from Vicksburg, CO up and over Hope Pass to Lead...

Last Saturday, 8/10, I flew out to Colorado to begin my TransRockies Run adventure, and wow, was it an adventure! I got to hang with some friends, made a ton of new friends, see some epic scenery and run some really challenging mountain trails. The Ortholite TransRockiesRun is a turnkey adventure. You get yourself to Denver and they can take care of the rest. They shuttle you to the base camp, feed you, and bring you back. The courses are mapped out, supported, a...
Mikey Bee of Sandspur Ultras has a reputation for inventing crazy hard races in and around Jupiter, Florida to challenge the mind and body. Some may call him sadistic. But one thing's for sure, Mikey is a beloved member of the Florida Ultrarunning Community, and that community really shows up to run and volunteer at his races. The Trident races are the last weekend in July. There are 2 - half marathons, a daytime and nighttime. There's a marathon, a 12-hour versi...

Lauren Klein is a UESCA certified ultra-running coach in the Reno, Nevada area. I first heard about her and the excellent crewing and pacing skills she possesses in my interview with Cocodona 250 and Tahoe 200 champ Harry Subertas, her partner. He also mentioned she was a coach which made me curious to hear her story. Coming from the athletic trainer background at the Major League Baseball level gives her a unique perspective on physical ability, injury rehab, and many other...

I first met Scott Owenby immediately after he sprinted past me at about a 6-minute pace to finish his first sub 24 - 100 miler at The Bronze Dragonfly in Savannah, Ga. He looked like he could have gone sub 20 at that point, and he probably will one day. Scott is a competitive guy that is fairly new on the 100 mile scene. So, we will see where he takes it. He's got an awesome story and does a great job telling it. Enjoy!Run 4 a Reason's Rough Runners – Road Runner...
Philip Nameich is another Florida ultra-running friend of mine. We have run and crewed several of the same races, had the same coach for a period of time and share a passion for running ultras and the community.

Harry Subertas was born and raised in Lithuania, which is mostly flat, but he had dreams of climbing mountains. So he made his way eventually to Alaska where he landed a dream job of guiding mountain climbing expeditions. Like for so many of us, Covid affected his livelihood, and he ended up having to do other things and his childhood love for running eventually found its way into his adult life. And wow, he has come a long way in a short time. He is a 2:45 marathoner,...
