Conquering Cocadona 250 + Moab 240 with Bear Lee

Edgar Lozoya’s 93-Hour Moab 240 Finish

Kade Wilcox reunites with Edgar Lozoya for a full Moab 240 recap—93:13 of rain, mud, and relentless forward motion. Edgar breaks down a conservative first 100 miles, the crew-access change that kept him solo until mile 114, and how short, strategic sleeps and steady nutrition kept him in the fight. He also shares the night lows with hallucinations, the gear that saved his race, and why power-hiking practice matters more than you think. * Finish time: 93:13 in brutal rain/mud * Solo to mile 114 (crew access change) * Night lows: sleepiness, hallucinations, group pacing boosts * Fuel: ~50g carbs/hour + real food at aid * Training lesson: more incline/stair-stepper, fast walk practice * Gear wins: real rain shell, anti-chafe tights; broke a pole and kept moving * Mindset: longevity > vanity; compete, but finish strong * Next up: eyeing a 200-miler (Mammoth 200) ---- * Patreon [https://patreon.com/BorderlandsTrailRunning] | BtS Building Borderlands * Borderlands.cc [https://borderlands.cc/] | Podcast Network [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/borderlands-pod-network/id6748982696?hasPaidContent=false] * Sign up: analog*Borderlands [new]letter [https://eepurl.com/jk7e8o] * Hyperlyte Hotline - RUNMORE649 (786.667.3649) * Wylder is now available on iOS [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wylder-by-borderlands/id6458265752] + Android [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.borderlands.wylder&pcampaignid=web_share]. ______________ RUNNING GEAR * Naked Running Band [https://amzn.to/41QXXE4] * Path Projects Apparel [https://alnk.to/3cosLsP] PODCAST GEAR * OSMO Pocket 3 [https://amzn.to/4lBaGSs] * Shure MV7 [https://amzn.to/4oCR6Ie] * Neewer MS60B [https://amzn.to/41QXHVC]

Running Pain vs Injury with Kameron Harder

Kade Wilcox sits down with sports PT [https://ridgeathleticsaz.com/] and strength coach Kameron “Kam” Harder [https://www.instagram.com/ridgeathleticsaz?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] to unpack what truly makes runners resilient—simple, consistent work done over time. Kam shares takeaways from finishing Cocodona 250 (and attempting another 100), how that experience boosted his confidence, and why most runners don’t need complexity to get stronger. They dive into practical coaching: heavy, low-rep fundamentals (think 4×5 squats/deadlifts/lunges), the 4/10 pain rule for training through non-structural pain, and smart ways to address plantar fasciitis through mobility and foot motor control. Kam also outlines a mindset that avoids catastrophizing and keeps you moving forward—even in the lows. * Confidence forged at Cocodona 250 * The 4/10 pain rule for running through manageable pain * Simple, heavy lifts > complicated routines * Consistency beats intensity for busy athletes * Plantar fasciitis basics: ankle/foot mobility + arch/toe motor control (short foot, big toe isolation) * A mindset for lows: respond, don’t catastrophize * Strength training = resilience + fatigue resistance
