Badwater 135 is one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world.
The race is a 135 mile footrace through Death Valley, California, where temperatures have gone up to 130+ degrees at times.
There is no shade on the course, it's extremely hot, and tests even the strongest of runners.
I was out at Badwater this year crewing and pacing, and I learned so many things from seeing the runners take on the course.
Some things we discuss on this podcast:

To be a better runner and person, you have to think differently.
And for Matthew Johnson, thinking differently not only made him better at ultrarunning; including winning a 100 miler, running 800+ miles across Texas, and climbing the height of Mt. Everest on a treadmill…
It made him a better person; inspiring the lives of thousands of runners to push their limits, being the running coach to musician Jelly Roll, and encouraging others to be the best version of themselves.
In this episode, Matt shares the biggest lessons he’s learned over the years, how he turned setbacks into successes, and what his biggest takeaways are in order to push through low points in the middle of ultras, and life.
If you want to be inspired to push through struggle and be the best version of yourself, this is the episode for you.

The Tahoe 200 miler was the hardest race I've ever done. Between battling hallucinations, unable to breathe for most of the race, and some of the lowest mental lows I've ever had, this was the fight of my ultra career.
And despite all of that, we finished in the top 10! And had one of the most insightful races of my life.
In this episode, I break down everything that happened in the race, how I was able to overcome all of the darkness, and how you can approach races that are chaos to still come out stronger.

Strength training can massively improve your performance and recovery as an ultrarunner.
But here’s the thing: most runners end up getting strength wrong. Not because they don’t know better. But because there’s a lot of outdated information and misconceptions out there in the running community.
That’s why we brought on Kameron Harder to the podcast, who is an expert Strength Coach and Doctor of Physical Therapy who has helped tons of ultramarathoners dial in their strength programs (including me).
In this episode, Kam shares why strength training is so important (even if you are skeptical), how to set up an optimal strength training program, what moves you should be incorporating in your strength routine, and how to progress your strength so you can run strong and pain free.
Huge thank you to Kam for coming on the show!

We all hear “listen to your body”. But how do you know when you’re body is actually telling you to stop, or when you should push through?
This is one of the most important skills to learn as an ultrarunner. Because not listening to your body can lead to underperformance, injury, or burnout. And no one wants that.
In this episode, we share how to actually listen to your body, including:
What are real signs that your body needs rest
Signs of potential overtraining or under recovery
What to push through on versus what to rest on
How to approach running if your body is needing some rest
How to avoid burnout and how to tell if you are pushing burnout
How to stop injuries from happening if you are having niggles/aches
And much more!

And she learned so many lessons from her journey, which she shares on this incredibly powerful podcast.
Randi Zuckerberg is a mother of 3, ultrarunner, marathoner, Tony Award winner, radio show host, author, and an all-around amazing person who is now a Cocodona 250 finisher.

After running Cocodona 250 as my first 200+ race last year, I showed up to this start line, more ready than ever. Excited to fix the mistakes I made in my first 200+ miler.
The plan was executed so well. The race was going amazing. But then, crisis hit.
And that faced me with one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my entire life.
In this episode, I give a full, unfiltered recap of the race. We also cover tons of advice if you plan to run a 200+ mile race, including:
- How to pace 200+ mile races
- Nutrition and hydration strategies
- Gear prep and logistical planning
- Mindset and mental toughness
- How to wrap your head around 300 miles
- What the course was like, how I battled the low points, and the big wins from the race
- The mindset you need to keep going, even when life doesn't go how you want it to go.
