  Episode #79: 24 in 24 in the Adirondacks with Katie Rhodes

  Sep 25, 202641 minS3

  On today's episode, Aimee is joined by northeast mountain runner, Katie Rhodes. She is a beast in the technical terrain of the Adirondack mountains and has cemented herself as one of the best ultra runners in the region. In 2020, she set the unsupported FKT for the Adirondack High Peaks in just over 7 days, covering over 175 miles and 64,000ft of elevation change. More recently she did 24 Adirondack High Peaks in 24 hours, covering over 53 miles and 26,000ft of elevation change. We chat about the effort specifics, her intro to running, and going long!

  Episode #77: So, You want to run 100 miles? Introducing the Catskill 100.

  Aug 28, 202627 minS3

  Aimee is joined by Queen of the Catskills, Julie McGuire to deconstruct the course for the Catskill 100. The Running Kind is proud to present one of the first carbon neutral 100 milers in the country - the Catskill 100. This course will showcase the beauty and difficulty that the Northeast offers as runners traverse over extremely challenging terrain in the Catskill Mountains. Running through four distinct NYS Wilderness Areas, this course was designed to leave runners more connected to the trails they are running on. Over the distance, runners will summit 12 of the 33 Catskill High Peaks including Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf, Plateau, Hunter, West Kill, Wittenberg, Cornell, Slide, Big Indian, Eagle and Balsam. The route also includes the entirety of the most challenging trail in the Catskills, The Devil's Path. This event will be one of the few 100 milers across the country with over 25,000ft of elevation gain and descent on extremely technical terrain and is sure to leave a stamp as one of the hardest 100 milers in the country. We have been dreaming up something masochistic since the first year at Climb It For Climate. The time has finally come to bring it to life. We are excited to share this route with runners from all over the country. The event will be led by a female leadership team and the race director is reserving 50% of spots for women and non-binary runners.

  Episode #75: Balance of Mind & Body with Courtney Coppinger

  Jul 17, 202649 minS3

  Courtney Coppinger has made her mark in mountain running as one of the best trail runners in the world. In 2025, she walked away with a 3rd place VK World Cup title and a 2nd place Classic World Cup title. She has been on the podium of multiple Golden Trail Series races and continues to be a force on the world stage. All accolades aside, she has been transparent about her lack of mind and body connection in the 2026 racing season. We dive into what that has been like for her, what things are bringing her joy in running right now, and where she stands with sustainability in trail running. We also chat about her new trail running camp: Inner Terrain. Inner Terrain lives at the intersection of art and movement and is designed for the creative athlete.
