In this episode of the Run the Riot Podcast, I had

In this episode of the Run the Riot Podcast, I had an amazing chat with Kayla Straub, the beast of Kansas!. Kayla's journey into running is pretty incredible. She didn't start long ago, but when she did, she dove in headfirst. Her first ultramarathon was the extremely hot and exposed Honey Badger 100 in June 2020. She snagged second place right out of the gate!

But that's just the beginning of her story. In 2021, she went back to the Honey Badger 100 and came out as the champion. Talk about determination, right? And then, in 2022, she set the Kansas state female record at the Prairie Spirit 100.

She's overcome some seriously tough personal challenges before she even laced up her running shoes. Her story is not just about running; it's about resilience and grit in the face of adversity.

And she's not stopping there. Kayla has some big goals for her future races, and she thrives on challenges. It's not just about the medals; it's about pushing her own limits and proving that anything is possible.

But Kayla's life isn't all about running. She lives on a farm with her kids, juggling the demands of parenthood with her passion for running. Kayla is demonstrating what can happen when you embrace your dreams and overcome life's hurdles. So, be sure to listen in and get inspired by Kayla Straub's incredible story!

I had such a good time with Marianne Hogan and Rob

I had such a good time with Marianne Hogan and Rob Steger! Marianne crushed Western States and UTMB back to back and was on the podium for both! Get this, these were her first 100-mile races!! And Rob got it all on video!

Getting to know her and catching up with Rob from the Training for Ultra Podcast was a blast!

The podcast is up wherever you listen to podcasts! Be sure to check out the video Rob put together of Marianne's impressive feat on youtube! Link in the show notes!

It was great to visit with Bryan again after readi

It was great to visit with Bryan again after reading his book EPIC Performance. We not only talked about his book, but we caught up on the latest big things he and his family have done and have planned!

Bryan Gillette started doing epic things at an early age. At 20 years old, he rode his bike across the US. Then he got into ultrarunning and after running other distances, completed the Tahoe 200. He took his experience on the trail and then interviewed 100 leaders (CEOs, CXOs, CIOs, CHROs, CFOs, founders, and ultra-distance athletes) to see how they take really big ideas across the finish line. He then penned the book, EPIC Performance.

I got to sit down in person again with Nick Fowler

I got to sit down in person again with Nick Fowler. Nick had finished the Self-Supported FKT on the Pacific Northwest Trail when we spoke last. Since then, he was able to get the Self-Supported Fastest Known Time on the Ozark Trail! He's dealt with ankle injuries, but is training up for a stab at the PCT Self-Supported FKT! It's been fun watching his journey and hearing how he's learned and grown as a runner, hiker, and person. You'll love his personality and crazy stories from the trail and in life!

Meet Matt Fynn - A friend from across the pond! I’ve had the privilege of coaching and working with Matt since October of last year to get him ready for his first 200, The Wild Horse 200 in Wales put on by RD and past podcast guest Rhys Jenkins(Episode 24 and 45). Matt is an example of what you can accomplish when you put in hard work and trust the process. And he’s got a cool accent! You’ll love our chat about his life and the process to get him to a 4th place finish for his first 200-mile race!

Running 50 miles is tough. Running 50 miles in the mountains is tougher. Running 50 miles in the mountains severely undertrained and with a bum knee is toughest and hurts like heck! I got it done though. Silver Rush 50m in the books in 11:27:00. An hour and 26 minutes slower than 2 years ago. (I was trained up then and the knee wasn’t mad at me! lol)

I enjoyed some truck camping in the mountains before and after the race.

Blessed and grateful for every step.

Kathleen is an adventurer! She’s hiked some amazing places all over the world. She also has had the opportunity to run some great races. Most recently, she won the Bigfoot 200 having done a large portion of her training by bagging 14ers and having a blast doing it! We talk about some of her amazing adventures and dive into her win at Bigfoot 200.

It was cold and wet, but it felt good to give a sustained effort and feel strong without bonking. Go Short, Go Long, Go Very Long - 1st Male, 3rd overall in the 50K. Chip time was 4:11:57.

Look what came in the mail. Now I have 2 of them. In 2019 I said I would never do it again. However, in December 2022, even though I was overweight and undertrained, I decided to do it again. It hurt more this time. Yay me.

It’s funny to see people's reactions when they hear of us doing things like this. Some say, “That’s awesome.” Others, “That’s stupid!” And still others, “That’s awesome and stupid!” Yes. I agree. Every time I run 100 or more miles, I come to the point where I say, “This is so stupid!” And usually, I just keep putting one stupid foot in front of the other.

In all seriousness, there is growth in doing hard things. It doesn’t have to be running, but find something that challenges you - something that scares you - something that you’ll have to work harder than you’ve ever had to before - and go for it!

First off, thank you so much for the birthday wish

First off, thank you so much for the birthday wishes this weekend! I loved seeing each name and thinking about you and our relationship. So many good memories!

I got to spend my birthday on Saturday crewing my firstborn, Kristin for her first ultramarathon at the Flatrock ultra. I'm pretty stinking proud of what she has done to even get to the starting line. Kristin, who was a teacher, made the decision to leave the classroom to be able to take care of my granddaughter, Josephine (Feeny). Feeny was born with spina bifida and caring for her keeps Kristin and her husband, Houston pretty busy. They do such a fantastic job of taking care of her. Kristin's weeks are full - taking Feeny to various doctor's appointments, physical therapy sessions, and working with her at home.

In the past, Kristin had completed a few marathons and half marathons. When she decided she wanted to run an ultramarathon, I was so happy she asked me to be her coach! This wouldn't be an easy task for her. Carving out the time to train was no easy task and Houston played a big part in caring for Feeny while Kristin got her training in. Also, ultra training in South Louisiana during the summer is tough! The heat and humidity are killer!

Crewing her during the race was such a blessing. I got to watch her deal with adversity and keep on moving. As the heat and fatigue grew, she handled it like a champ! She ran smart and kept moving forward. I told her before the race, "What I want for my birthday is to see you cross the finish line." I got my birthday wish! What a blessing!

I'm so proud of you, Kristin! I hope this race reminded you of how strong you are and what you are capable of!

Love you!!
