How I’m Designing My Western States 100 Miler Training — And How You Can Design Yours
Dec 12, 2025·—
—
If you’re training for a big race and unsure how to structure your training block, this episode gives you a repeatable framework you can use for any A-race , at any distance. I’m using my preparation for the Western States 100 as the real-world example — not to list workouts or weekly mileage, but to show you how to think about training so you can build a plan that actually moves the needle. In this episode, we cover: • How to set goals that force real growth (without selling yourself short) • The 5 pillars of ultra performance and how to identify your biggest limiter • How to decide whether durability, speed, fueling, mindset, or execution deserves priority • Why most runners train hard but still miss their potential • The mistake athletes make when they plan too early — or too late • How to structure training when your race isn’t guaranteed yet (lotteries, waitlists, life) • Why aiming bigger almost always leads to better outcomes, even if you miss the goal • How to avoid building a plan that looks good on paper but fails on race day • The difference between “being fit” and being race-ready • How to think in training blocks instead of workouts • How to balance ambition with sustainability so you don’t burn out • Why your biggest gains often come from fixing one key weakness — not doing more • How to design a flexible plan that adapts as your life and training load change This isn’t a “here’s my Western States training” episode. It’s a blueprint for building smarter training blocks — with Western States as the case study.

How Matt Shapiro Turned Pain Into Power Through Ultrarunning to Get Sober and Be the Best Version of Himself
Dec 12, 2025·—
—
In today’s episode, I sit down with Matt “Shapiro the Hero” — one of the most creative minds in endurance sports and one of the toughest, most resilient humans you’ll ever meet. You’ve seen his work everywhere: Black Canyon, Mammoth, Cocodona, Sally McRae, Max Jolliffe… but today, you get to hear the story behind the lens — the journey that turned Matt from a talented photographer into a 200-mile finisher and a pillar of the endurance community. We dive into: ✨ How documenting epic runners became a “cheat code” for his own ultra-running ✨ The moment he realized he could run 200 miles ✨ His wild 2024 triple — Ute 100 → Mogollon Monster → Mammoth 200 ✨ His powerful journey through alcoholism, relapse, therapy, and ultimately sobriety ✨ Why runners with “all-or-nothing” personalities must learn balance ✨ The unexpected pacer who changed the final miles of his 200 ✨ His philosophy for getting better one tiny step at a time This is one of the most raw, honest, and inspiring conversations we’ve had on the show. Matt’s story is a reminder that endurance isn’t just about races — it’s about rebuilding your life, choosing a healthier path, and believing you can do hard things even when your past tells you otherwise. If you need a spark of motivation or a reminder that you can turn things around, this is the episode. Huge thank you to Matt for being on the show!

How to Become an Ultrarunner at Any Age: Lessons From Coach Kirk Blevins
Nov 25, 2025·—

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start ultrarunning — or whether you can build elite durability while juggling a full-time job, a family, and life responsibilities — this episode is going to light you up. In this conversation, I sit down with Everyday Ultra coach, ultrarunner, dad, and leader — Kirk Blevins — to unpack his incredible journey from powerlifter… to OCR athlete… to 50 miler… to 100 miler… and ultimately his first 200-mile finish at the Across Florida 200. Kirk started endurance sports later in life — but through mindset, structure, and smart training, he’s built a level of durability most runners never reach. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: • How Kirk went from watching a Spartan Race on TV to signing up within minutes • The brutal first 50-miler that nearly broke him — and why he doubled the distance anyway • Why starting later in life isn’t a disadvantage… and might actually be a superpower • The mindset shift that helped him handle ankle-deep mud, freezing rain, and adversity • The training changes that allowed him to run a 200-miler with zero soreness • How he balanced training, career, and family without burning out • The role of strength training, mobility, and footwork in staying injury-free • What he learned about recovery that transformed his performance • Why finding your “apex” of volume and recovery is the real secret to ultra success • How to build belief after a bad race — and why it’s never too late to start This episode is packed with practical training insights, mindset shifts, and real-world lessons from someone who has built an unbreakable foundation while living a full life. Whether you’re training for your first ultra or leveling up to the next distance, Kirk’s story will show you exactly what’s possible.

How a Parent of Five Kids Trains for Ultras (Even With No Free Time) — with Brittany Westdyke
Nov 20, 2025·—
—
Today’s episode is special. Because today’s guest is someone who embodies the true meaning of Everyday Ultra — not just in the miles she runs, but in the life she leads. Britt Westdyke is a mother of five , a full-time leader at work, a wife, an advocate for running moms everywhere, and an athlete who has rewritten what’s possible for herself by showing up on the hardest days — and every day in between. Over the past two years of coaching her, I’ve watched Britt rebuild her identity, discover her strength, and chase massive goals with patience, grit, and purpose. She’s finished the EldenCrest 38. She’s crushed her local six-hour race. She’s battled struggle, burnout, cross-country home moves, childcare chaos, and the emotional weight that comes with all of it — and she’s still stood on start lines with fire and belief. In this episode we break down: • How Britt found ultra running during one of the most overwhelming seasons of her life • Why chasing a big goal made her a better mom, wife, and leader at work • The truth about mom guilt — and how she reshaped it into purpose • How she trains consistently with five kids, travel, work, and zero free time • What to do when chaos derails your plans, and how to keep moving forward with confidence • Why patience (not talent) is her secret weapon for long-term endurance progress • The power of having a supportive partner — even if they don’t run a single mile • Her advocacy work with For All Mothers & Strava, and how she’s helping other moms get to their start lines too This conversation is real, raw, and packed with wisdom for every runner — parents or not. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin… if you’ve ever doubted whether you could take on a big goal… if you’ve ever wondered whether you’re capable of more… Britt’s story is your proof. And trust me — you’re going to walk away believing that you can do hard things, chase gigantic dreams, and still show up for the people you love.

100-Miler Training Principles: The Most Important Things to Focus On in Training
Oct 9, 2025·—
—
Training for a 100-mile ultramarathon isn’t just about piling on the miles — it’s about building the right foundation that makes your body, mind, and strategy bulletproof on race day. In this episode, Joe breaks down the exact framework he used while preparing for the Kodiak 100 , explaining how to identify your biggest limiter and structure training around what really matters. Whether you’re chasing your first buckle or aiming for a PR, you’ll learn how to craft a plan that fits your life, maximizes your strengths, and eliminates the mistakes that sabotage most runners. What you'll learn: The 4 key training pillars that determine success in every 100-miler—and how to know which one you need to prioritize. How to personalize your plan based on your background, schedule, and experience level (instead of blindly copying others). Why most runners overtrain in one area and completely miss the real limiter holding them back. The simple diagnostic test Joe uses to decide if you’re fitness-limited, durability-limited, or mindset-limited. How to build an unbreakable engine that lasts through the final miles, even when your legs want to quit. A major training mistake that quietly sabotages endurance progress—and how to fix it immediately. The hidden link between strength training and race-day performance that most ultrarunners overlook. How to build mental resilience for when everything starts to unravel at mile 70 (and what separates those who finish strong from those who fade). Joe’s personal insights from racing 200-milers and coaching hundreds of ultrarunners —and how those lessons shaped his approach for Kodiak. Thank you for listening!
