I ran the Badwater 135 this past week, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done.

In this episode, we go through the play-by-play of the whole race, along with tips, strategies, and lessons to help you overcome any challenge you face in an ultramarathon.
Q&A portion will be released tomorrow in a separate episode!

This episode is a masterclass in what actually helps ultra runners improve over the long term.
Everyday Ultra coach Hunter Foltz shares the lessons that took him from a collegiate golfer with no running background to completing Leadville 100, chasing the Lead Challenge, and preparing for Moab 240.
Instead of focusing on race results, this conversation explores the habits, training decisions, and mindset shifts that create stronger, more resilient ultrarunners. Whether you're training for your first ultra or your fastest one yet, you'll walk away with practical insights you can apply to your own training and racing.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why treating your training like an experiment can unlock better race performances.
• The fueling and hydration mistakes that quietly hold many ultra runners back.
• How to build race-specific fitness—even if you don't live near mountains.
• Why time on feet may matter more than mileage for ultramarathon success.
• Why consistency beats perfection when building long-term fitness.
• The importance of adapting your training to your own strengths instead of copying someone else's.
• The everyday habits that separate runners who simply finish from those who continue improving year after year.SHOW LINKS:

16 July 2026, 10:00 am - 1 hour 5 minutesKilian Korth on How to Turn Failure to Success, Build Discipline, and Improve Your Life
What does it take to keep evolving after reaching the top—and how do you know when mental toughness has gone too far?
In this episode of the Everyday Ultra Podcast, Joe sits down with Everyday Ultra coach and 200-mile superstar Kilian Korth amidst his upcoming documentary: Forged in Failure: The Quest for the Crown.
Kilian reflects on the lessons he has learned since completing the Triple Crown, the competitive pressure that pushed him to another level at Cocodona, and the devastating injury that came from limping through the final 60 miles of the race.
You’ll learn:
- Why Kilian no longer wants ego to be the fuel driving his racing
- How mental toughness can become both your greatest strength and greatest weakness
- Kilian’s approach to navigating injury, uncertainty, and losing the activity that defines his identity
- How a “no-options mindset” can create greater discipline in running and everyday life
- Why failure does not automatically make you stronger—and the work required to actually learn from it
- How to recognize when pushing through discomfort is helping your performance versus threatening your longevity

16 July 2026, 1:06 am - 1 hour 12 minutesThe Simple Ultramarathon Training Hack to Improve Your Fitness
The best ultramarathon training plan isn’t necessarily the one you follow perfectly—it’s the one you’re willing to adjust when your body tells you something needs to change.
In this episode, I break down one of the most important—and counterintuitive—strategies for making more progress, recovering faster, avoiding injury, and showing up stronger on race day: being flexible with your training plan.
We cover:
- Why blindly completing every workout can actually limit your progress
- The difference between lacking motivation and genuinely needing recovery
- The five warning signs that it may be time to modify your training
- How to decide whether to move a workout, shorten a long run, rest, or begin a deload
- Why quality training produces better adaptations than forcing junk miles
- How to rearrange your week without stacking too many difficult sessions
- How “mission over ego” helped me run one of the best races of my life at the Tahoe 200
Listen now to learn how to stop treating your training plan like an unbreakable contract—and start using it as a tool to become a stronger, healthier, and more capable ultrarunner.
