In this episode of Run the Riot, we hang out with Cam Riddle, a passionate strength coach who's making a difference in the ultrarunning world—without running ultras himself! Cam brings years of experience from the private and collegiate strength and conditioning world and shares how he’s now applying his knowledge to help ultrarunners build stronger, more resilient bodies. We first met Cam while he was crewing ultrarunner Angela Smith at the Prairie Spirit 100. From the jump, his excitement for the sport and love for people was evident. Cam talks about how he got involved in ultrarunning through an athlete he worked with previously and how that opened the door to coaching Angela Smith for her amazing 100-mile finish at the Prairie Spirit 100 in Kansas. Cam breaks down: Why ultrarunners need more than just miles—hello, glutes and core! His approach to balancing runcoaching with strength programming How individualized training can make or break race day performance What it’s like being on the sidelines of an ultra and watching grit in real time Lessons from crewing, cramping, and crawling (sometimes literally) Whether you're a new ultrarunner or a seasoned ultrarunning coach, you'll appreciate Cam's insight, humor, and heart for helping others succeed. This episode is all about community, compassion, and crushing goals.
