- 59 minutes 44 secondsPhil Gore on His World Record Breaking Backyard Ultra Strategies, Mindset, and Tips
Backyard ultras are one of the most brutal formats in endurance sports: 4.2 miles every hour… until only one runner is left standing.
And today’s guest is the best in the world at it.
Phil Gore is the 2025 Big’s Backyard Ultra World Champion, running 764km over nearly five days to outlast the best endurance athletes on the planet. Earlier that same year, he set the Backyard Ultra world record with 119 laps at Dead Cow Gully.
But what makes Phil so fascinating isn’t just the distance he runs — it’s the strategy, mental resilience, and precision behind it all.
In this episode, Phil breaks down:
• How he plans sleep in races that last 4–5 days
• The fueling strategy that keeps him moving for 100+ hours
• Why he doesn’t take caffeine until day three
• The mental framework that allows him to keep going when others stop
• How his job as a career firefighter helped build the resilience needed for backyard ultrasIf you’ve ever wondered what it takes to push the absolute limits of human endurance, this episode will completely change how you think about ultrarunning.

What happens when you thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and set your sights on 200-mile ultramarathons?
You architect a life around adventure.
In this episode, Kelly Hays joins the show to talk about:
Nearly 3,000 miles on the CDT in just five months
Hiking 120 miles straight through Wyoming’s Great Basin with zero sleep
Emergency surgery six days into the Appalachian Trail — and getting back on trail
Why mental toughness is built by putting one foot in front of the other
The transition from thru-hiker to ultrarunner
Pulling out of races to protect longevity (and why that decision matters)
Balancing ambition with patience
Why she’s obsessed with 100s and dreaming of 200-milers like Cocodona 250
Kelly doesn’t just chase miles. She designs her life around growth, challenge, and freedom.
This conversation is about more than running.
It’s about stacking bricks, showing up daily, and becoming the kind of person who can endure hard things — on trail and in life.If you’ve ever wrestled with ambition, injury, comparison, or the desire to go all-in on adventure… this one’s for you.
Kelly Hays is an ultrarunner, thru-hiker, and content creator who has built a following of hundreds of thousands of people as she documents her journey's of adventure, running, and building a life of adventure.

28 February 2026, 11:32 pm - 1 hour 11 minutesThe Rebels Changing Ultrarunning And Lessons from 100 Miles with Emory Atterberry and Jeremy Bohnett
The first time I saw these guys was in the documentary The Kid after finishing Tahoe 200 — and I immediately thought:
“Who are these dudes?”
There was something different about them.
The energy. The edge. The authenticity.Then I started seeing more about Hyperlyte
Not just as another nutrition company… but as a movement.And then I saw them at the races.
I saw Jeremy at Leadville.
Emory out there racing the mountains himself.
Then Jeremy lining up at Run Rabbit Run.That’s when it clicked:
They aren’t just building products for ultrarunners.
They ARE ultrarunners.In this episode, we dive into:
• Jeremy’s journey from addiction and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail to crushing 100-milers like Run Rabbit Run, Bear 100, Cruel Jewel, and Rim to River
• Emory’s path from 300-lb college football lineman to Leadville, Wasatch, High Lonesome, and The Bear
• What 100-mile racing teaches you about life, fatherhood, and staying present
• The biggest mistakes ultrarunners make in long races
• How to balance business, family, and high-level training
• Why they built Hyperlite differently (and what was broken in endurance nutrition)
• The philosophy behind simple fueling: 100g carbs, 1,000mg sodium — done right
• Building a brand that actually reflects trail cultureThis one is raw.
It’s real.
And it’s about more than just nutrition.It’s about identity, resilience, and building something that actually matters.
If you care about ultras, performance, community, and pushing your limits — this one will fire you up.
Let’s ramble on.

What happens when you lose everything… and find yourself through distance?
In this episode, I sit down live in Phoenix with Troy “Punisher” Croxdale— a man who:
• Podiumed the Tahoe 200 in his FIRST 200 miler
• Covered 10,000 miles in ONE year
• Spent 293 days on trail

• Then casually dropped 1,350 miles on the Tempe segment during Burrito LeagueThis one is raw.
Troy opens up about losing his father…
How running saved his life from addiction…
Why thru-hiking changes you differently than racing…
And what it’s like to run 80 miles on Day 1 just because you felt like it.We talk about:
• How he went from 1 mile… to a 1:37 half marathon… in months
• Why 200 milers feel “short” after thru-hiking for 293 days
• The mental battle of having 4,500 miles still to go
• How he fueled 40 miles on two pieces of toast
• What really happens to your body when you live outside for a year
• Why simplicity beats “more”
• And what keeps him coming back to the segmentIf you’ve ever felt stuck…
If you’ve ever needed a reset…
If you’ve ever wondered how far you’re actually capable of going…This one will hit.

25 February 2026, 1:15 am - 1 hour 13 minutesHow to Beat Mental Traps in an Ultramarathon (And Run Your Best Race)
Fitness doesn’t guarantee success on race day.
You can have the highest VO₂ max in the field…
You can run insane workouts…
You can show up tapered and ready…And still fall into the mental traps that sabotage your race.
In this episode, I break down the biggest mental traps ultrarunners face — from going out too hard, to walking when you should be running, to not eating when you don’t feel like eating, to letting negative self-talk take control.
These are the exact lessons I’ve learned from my own 100-milers, 200-milers, Cocodona, Tahoe, Javelina — and from coaching hundreds of athletes on the Everyday Ultra Racing Team.
We cover:
• Why “what is predictable is preventable”
• How to pace properly using RPE (and avoid blowing up early)
• The trap of thinking you’re fitter than you are (and how to ground belief in data)
• When to push late in a race
• Why walking when you don’t need to is costing you HUGE time
• How to stay disciplined with fueling (even when you’re sick of gels)
• The power of breaking races into small chunks
• Why you need a deep toolkit of mental strategies
• How to handle negative self-talk when it shows upThis episode is about building discipline.
Because discipline doesn’t care about feelings.
It cares about execution.If you want to race smarter, stronger, and more confidently in your next ultra — this one is for you.

Chris Myers didn’t just improve at Western States…
He went from 10th place to 2nd place in one year — cutting nearly an hour off his time.

If you want to get faster, race smarter, and think bigger — this one’s for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why downhill fatigue cost Chris an hour at Western States — and how he fixed it
The real difference between a 10th place and 2nd place performance
How elite runners think about aid station time and race execution
What most people get wrong about racing internationally
How to prepare for humidity, night running, and long travel

18 February 2026, 8:50 pm - 51 minutes 59 secondsHow to Stop Feeling Behind in Training (And Know If You Actually Are)
Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind in your training—even when you’re doing the work? In this episode, Joe breaks down the psychology, physiology, and real-world coaching insights behind that feeling and shows you how to tell whether you’re truly off track… or if your brain is just playing tricks on you.
You’ll learn the biggest traps that make runners think they’re behind, what the science actually says about missed training and fitness loss, and how to use long-term data—not emotion—to judge real progress. If you’ve ever doubted your training, questioned your fitness, or worried you’re not doing enough for your race, this conversation will help you reset your mindset, trust the process, and move forward with confidence.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
The hidden mindset patterns that create the illusion of being “behind”
How to interpret bad workouts, missed runs, and deload weeks the right way
What actually causes real loss of fitness—and what doesn’t
The difference between emotional feedback vs. physiological progress
A simple framework to rebuild confidence and trust your training again
