Think for yourself, but if you ask us Brogan Macdougall is exactly who we thought she would be.For episode 37 we shared some time with Brogan to cover how the Unemployment World Tour is going, and what it's like having her name in the contender mix when people are talking about some of trail running's biggest races.

We're happy to work this in every once in a while if that's what the people want. Have a great week and we'll see you in November for episode 37!

What a fun episode with our guest, Zach Bitter. Zach holds the US record in the 100-mile with a time of 11:19:13. This record has held for 7 years but he has decided that's long enough, as he is setting out to break his own US record this December at Desert Solstice in Arizona.

Episode 34 is here and we are pumped to bring you a great chat with experienced hiker, and Great Colorado Route creator and first sender, Donovan "Iceman" Rice.We chat with Donovan about his pre-GCR trail experience, why he thought Colorado needed another route for people to take one, and how his maiden voyage on his new route shook out when he hit the trail.

Art hails from the Rio Grande Valley, or RGV, in South Texas and is an absolute force on the trails. After getting into trail and ultra running later in life, Art dove right in with his "burn the ships" mentality and the results speak for themselves. With wins, course records, and now is first 200 mile effort under his belt, Art shares what keeps him moving and how he likes to train for tough terrains in possibly the flattest place on earth.If you enjoyed the episode throw a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating on the show and leave a comment.Thanks and we'll see you next week!

If the Durango Running Club ever starts a podcast they are going to hate the work that we do here. For this episode of TMRP we are back with another La Plata County legend, Robyn Lesh. Robyn is a pro runner for Altra who has carved her niche as a middle distance ultra runner with wins and course records at some of the most prestigious races around the world - which is exactly how she likes it. In this episode we cover Robyn's eccentric background, her down under, trail running roots, how she handles the long racing seasons that have become normalized, and what excites her about the future.We really enjoyed sharing some time with Robyn and we hope you enjoy the listen.

In this episode of TMRP comedian, NJ Devil 100 Miler starter, Pine Creek Challenge 100 Miler starter, Leadville 100 starter, FRONT RANGE ULTRA DAYZE 100 MILER FINISHER, Dan LaMorte joins Nick and Steven to talk about comedy, life in his new home in Leadville, and if the path to finishing his first 100 has given him the perspective that he was looking for. I will take this moment to apologize - this was our first in-person recording and the audio quality missed the mark. Frankly, we do this for fun, and since we had a blast with Dan we checked that box, but we know this isn't what our listeners are looking for from us. We'll learn and do better. If you're looking for a running metaphor this was not quite a DNF but also definitely not a podium.There's no way this should stop you from enjoying the episode. Drop a comment of your favorite part (or just to say what's up to Dan) and we'll see you next week!

How do you define someone who just does cool stuff? Today we're joined by none other than interesting human, Jason Hardrath.After life as a college runner, Jason started busting out trail races and even made the Ironman 70.3 World Championships until life threw him a curveball.Not being one to just sit around, Jason used that as an opportunity to get wild with it, and now he has bagged over 120 route fastest known times (FKTs). For Jason these efforts often include bushwhacking, route finding, scrambling, free soloing, and even some good, old fashioned trail running.We had a blast talking with Jason, and we're sure you'll have a blast giving it a listen. When that inevitably happens be sure to drop a comment and leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review.Thanks so much for stopping by, and we'll see you next week!
