The Multifaceted Athlete with Coaching Klutz

In this podcast episode, I dive deep into a conversation with Mason, a passionate runner with a profound journey from disliking hiking as a child to becoming a notable runner, including competing in college and eventually embracing trail running after college.

Despite struggling in team sports due to his size, Mason found his stride in running, fueled by sibling rivalry and a desire to qualify for a school 'Olympics.'

His journey took him to Furman University in South Carolina, where he continued running competitively but started feeling burnt out towards the end. The introduction to trail running rekindled his passion for the sport, leading to a shift towards running on trails post-graduation.

Mason also discusses the dynamics of transitioning from Division 1 running to trail running, his interest in sub-ultra running for its speed and intensity, and his experiences and perspectives on running road marathons, including hitting 'the wall.'

Moreover, the conversation touches on challenges like body image issues among male runners and the significance of embracing failures as learning opportunities. Mason shares upcoming runs and encourages engagement in sub-ultra and mountain races.

The Multifaceted Athlete with Coaching Klutz

In this What’s What with Klutz episode, I provide personal training updates, highlights recent indoor track races emphasizing women's distance running (duh), and shares thoughts on the role and perceptions of influencers in the running community.

After overcoming a foot injury, I talk about my return to training, detailing the excitement of running 35 miles over six days a week, alongside biking and strength training. I share plans to participate in upcoming races, including the Valkyrie trail race and the Vail hill climb, and hint at a birthday challenge involving running 34 miles.

The episode then transitions to discuss the world of women's indoor track, celebrating recent achievements and expressing enthusiasm for the sport's future, particularly focusing on athletes like Parker Valby.

Lastly, the discussion turns to the influence of social media on running, debating the merits and criticisms of influencers receiving free race entries and the expectations placed on these individuals for their content and personal training choices.
