You asked, I answered. This episode is a full Cocodona 250 Q&A — your questions about training, gear, crew, the mental game, recovery, and everything in between. If you've been curious about what actually goes into runni
Made it! The final stretch. Mile 176 to the finish line at Heritage Square in Flagstaff. This episode covers the solo section through the Foxboro habitat where I was navigating a tracker scare, chatting with a woman from
Mile 75 to mile 176 — and this stretch had everything. In this episode, I'm taking you from Whiskey Row through Watson Lake, across Fain Ranch, up and over Mingus Mountain in the dark, down into Jerome, across the Verde
Day one of Cocodona 250 covered 75 miles — through the Sonoran desert, up into the Bradshaws, through the first night, and into Whiskey Row in Prescott. And honestly? It still feels like it happened in a completely diffe
This week’s episode isn’t a full race recap yet because my brain still feels a little scrambled from five days across Arizona. But after sitting with the experience, I wanted to talk about the things that mattered most o
You trained for it. You showed up. And somehow…you’re still telling yourself it wasn’t enough. In this episode, I’m talking about something I see all the time—runners finishing races (or not) and immediately going to wha
Training isn’t random—even if it sometimes feels like it when you’re in the middle of it. In this episode, I’m breaking down how a training block actually builds over time so you can stop second-guessing every shift in y
You hit your last long run and now you’re just…supposed to back off? Yeah. That’s taper. And if you’ve ever felt weird during this time—physically, mentally, emotionally—you’re not alone. I’m in it right now heading into
This episode came straight from a run and a voice memo I actually remembered to record. We’re talking about 75 Hard program, why it’s so appealing, and why it might not be the answer for most of us…especially the women a
This week on Dirt Nap Diaries, I’m talking about eating for performance and why trying to lose weight while training for an ultra can backfire fast. We get into underfueling, heavy legs, poor recovery, brain fog, and why
This week I’m talking about something I see all the time in online running spaces: people asking the internet last-minute race questions that should’ve been figured out way earlier in training. I get it—especially if it’
In this episode of Dirt Nap Diaries, I’m breaking down my big Cocodona 250 training weekend where I did 3 back to back to back long runs on course, including the first section out of Black Canyon City, Hangover Trail in
What actually matters in training? Honestly…not your pace. In this episode, I’m talking about the three things I care about more than pace when it comes to trail running and coaching: consistency over perfection, effort
The internet has been losing its damn mind over the LA Marathon shortening their course because of heat. Suddenly everyone’s an expert on “integrity.” People arguing about medals. People deciding whether runners should e
Today we’re talking about effort over pace because if you don’t understand the difference, you’re way more likely to plateau, overtrain, or mentally spiral (and I don’t want that for you). Effort is the stimulus. Pace is
Pacers…they can be the best thing that happens to you at mile 80…or the reason you’re suddenly redlining, annoyed, and questioning every friendship you’ve ever had. In this episode, I’m breaking down what pacers are actu
Aid stations can be a lifesaver… or a total time-suck spiral where you stand there eating random stuff, forget your poles, and walk away somehow less prepared than when you arrived. In this episode, we’re talking aid sta
Crew can be an incredible asset on race day and it can also quietly make things harder if expectations aren’t clear. In this episode, we’re talking about what crew is actually for, when it makes sense to have crew and ho
