Sydney Petersen - A Strong Sense of Belonging

Sydney Petersen was the top American female in her first time racing the Zegama Aizkorri 42k last week! While she considers herself a newcomer to the trails, she's found a transformative sense of belonging in the sport and the community. Sydney is patient and purposeful; always seeking ways to learn, grow, and challenge herself. In this episode we discuss where that comes from, her ideas for long term development, the decision to run her first ultra-distance, and of course - all of the details of her experience at Zegama!

Lindsey Dwyer - I Just Love Running

Lindsey Dwyer just finished her second 250-mile race at the Cocodona 250 where she was 5th female - finishing seven hours faster than her first race the year before! The women's field at this year's race was impressive, as were the stories being written along the way. Lindsey is no stranger to contending for the overall podium, and in this episode we dive into her history in the sport (most specifically in ultra distance) as well as what it's meant for her to learn to lead and run her own race.

Sarah Humble - It's Not About The Result

Sarah Humble is fresh off a Golden Ticket earning performance at the Canyons 100k, and is already preparing for her debut at the Western States Endurance Run! In this episode, we get to know her story through sport - where she learned early to love the process in lieu of the results. Her more recent entry into ultrarunning has been driven by curiosity, problem solving, and learning through the community.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Lindsay Allison, Jane Maus, and Helen Mino Faukner just returned from the Maderia Island Ultra Trail where they each claimed a podium finish in their respective races - 110k, 80k, and 56k! This isn't the first time they've traveled together, competed, trained, and supported each other - and it's easy to see a close friendship forming over the past year+; while at the same time, they've each been on a noticeable pattern of performance growth. The common thread is their shared coach: Rick Floyd. The coaching, community, and culture he's forming with a small pod of trail and ultra athletes is both intriguing and impressive. In this episode, we dive into the foundations of that "team" , how it's impacted each of these women, and how their training and racing is evolving in such different ways toward a common goal.

Makena Morley - The Small Steps Lead To The Big Steps

There was a lot of excitement when Makena Morley made her trail running debut late last year, and that excitement is only building as she came back for the Spring season and won/broke the course record in her second ultra last weekend: The Canyons Endurance Runs 50k! An accomplished road runner from Montana, she counts many of the best American trail runners as her close friends - and their influence is wearing off... in this episode we visit her history in the sport, the lessons she's learning along the way through both road and trail, and of course the play-by-play of her race at Canyons!
