Lindsay Shepard: Van Life, Ultra Racing & Redefining Adventure #45

✨ Support the Podcast ✨

Shoutout to our new channel member Wendall Brown!

Today’s guest is a seasoned vanlifer, through hiker, and bikepacker who shares her journey from van life and sailing dreams to conquering some of the toughest endurance events. We dive into life on the road, how Starlink enables remote work and race coverage, and the evolution of ultra-distance running events like Cocodona and the Arizona Monster 300. Lindsay opens up about the realities of gender identity in the endurance community and how that intersects with racing, community, and representation.

We also reflect on the Stagecoach Line 200 Duathlon — a rugged self-supported challenge from Flagstaff to Tusayan by bike, then back again on foot — and how it reshaped both our views on goal-setting, recovery, and what makes these adventures meaningful. Expect insights on resilience, problem-solving, gear choices, logistics, and the personal evolution that comes with pushing long distances. I'd like to welcome to the podcast Lindsay Shepard.

✨ ⁠Support the Podcast⁠ ✨

Today’s guest is a documentary filmmaker, relentless bikepack racer, and an all around incredible, thoughtful amazing human. I had the opportunity to get to know him better on the last couple days of the Colorado Trail Race as we pushed our bikes through the night together for endless miles. He’s had a year of difficult race finishes including Arizona Trail Race 300, The Grand Loop, Colorado Trail Race, and just recently a win on his own event called Escape LA. I was fortunate enough to give the route a go and it did not disappoint and we spent most of this episode debriefing from both our adventures. His documentary film called “Hidden in Plain Sight” is currently making the film festival tours and will be available to the public soon.

Rich and James Rothwell: Father & Son Finishers on the Arizona Trail 800 Mountain Bike Race #29

✨ ⁠Support the Podcast⁠ ✨

Today’s guests have come all the way from Morpeth England to participate in and finish the Arizona Trail 800 mountain bike race. They are a father and son team that persisted against the physical and environmental adversity dished out by this daunting trail. Together, they experienced extreme heat, cold, thirst, hunger, pain and joy throughout their journey that ended up being over 900 miles and 100,000’ of elevation gain. I’m honored to have the opportunity to sit down with them in person.

Leigh Bowe: Veteran, Mom, Enduro Racer Turned Bikepacker, 2024 Arizona Trail Race 800 Finisher #28

✨ ⁠Support the Podcast⁠ ✨

Today’s returning guest just completed an epic single speed journey on the Arizona Trail 800 Ultra Endurance Mountain Bike Race. She completed the 837 mile trail with over 100,000’ of elevation gain in 11 days, 12 hours and 19 minutes. She is a veteran, mom, wife, nurse practitioner, bike shop mechanic, and enduro racer turned bikepacker. At the time of this recording, its been only 5 days since her finish and I’m sure she has a lot of things to catch up on and a calorie deficit to correct so I’m super grateful she’s taken the time to sit down with me today.

Welcome to The Endurance Studio Podcast. I’m your host, Dylan Turner. I’m an avid ultra endurance cyclist, bikepacker and runner and I’m on a journey to learn and share everything I can about how people can push beyond their limits.
