Description

In this conversation, host Jayk Reynolds sits down with Nickademus de la Rosa — an accomplished ultrarunner, coach, and one of the few humans on Earth to ever finish the Barkley Marathons. From there he went on to gain sponsorships and ultrarunning acclaim as he continued to tackle some of the toughest races on the planet like the Badwater 135, Tor des Géants, and Arrowhead 135 just to name a few.


But what makes Nick’s story powerful isn’t just what he’s done, it’s what came after. Open-heart surgery. A battle with mental health. And a complete redefinition of what toughness really means.


This one’s raw, unedited, and real — just two people talking about endurance, identity, and finding yourself through the chaos.
